Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: " . . . we first want obstruction. You face everything. You call tomorrow's obstructions to come today - today's obstructions you call now, now, I want now! You can ask like that, don't be afraid. Don't escape them, don't escape problems. You can invite tomorrow's problems: Welcome, my dear problem, you want to come tomorrow? No, no, come today - you are coming today? No, no, come now, I want you now! That's the yogi's habit. You understand? We are all escaping, the problem comes and we are scared and we escape, because we want always facilities. Who will bear the problems? We are intellectual, we escape, it is 'buddhi'. The real Yogi calls problems, he wants to finish all sorts of problems, all sorts of creations, karmas, all sort of sins. We want to finish it, we don't want to wait. If bliss comes tomorrow, okay I will wait for tomorrow or day after tomorrow or next birth. But for problems I don't wait, I want them today, now!"
