They are not aware what they are asking. They are asking the impossible. The divine is not a thing. The divine is not an object. You cannot seek it. Divinity is this whole. How can you seek the whole? You can dissolve in it, you can merge in it, but you cannot seek it.

The only thing to attain is consciousness. And consciousness simply comes if you live the moment. If you live here and now, responding, you become conscious. The consciousness has not come to you up to now because you have never lived in the present. It is a consequence of living in the present, call it meditation if you like.

If you have got cues from anybody else other than your own awareness, you are moving into a very dangerous situation. You will miss yourself and you will not gain anything else. The cost is very high, and out of it no fulfillment ever comes.

The mind seems to be so addicted, that whatsoever is said, it will make a goal out of it. For example, I go on saying be here and now, and I know well you will try to be here and now. You miss the point – because in the very trying you have missed. You cannot try to be here and now, because by the time you are trying, the here and now is passing. You can simply relax
