nothing -- he has no past, just the future. He can be adventurous, he can take therisk; he has nothing to lose. But an old man -- he has much to lose. That's why if apundit comes -- one who knows too much without knowing it -- he will havemuch fight, he will have all sorts of arguments, he will defend himself. He hasmuch to lose. But when an innocent man comes who says, "I don't know much,"he is easy, he is ready to let go.HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT.BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TOBECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HISNAME:AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH....Very few people came to him.

Very few came, but thosewho came -- TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD,EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME. Those who could trust weretransformed. And he prepared the ground: these were the first prepared peopleto whom Jesus was to appear.AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (AND WEBEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THEFATHER), FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH -- one of the most beautiful sentences inthe gospel -- AND DWELT AMONG US.

Then the heart can talk to theheart, depth can respond to depth.John created a group, a small group of chosen people who would be able to trust,who would be able to see with the eyes of trust. Only then is Jesus possible.Remember this: If the listener is ready, only then can the truth be uttered.I was travelling in this country for many years, all year round, just to find peoplewho would be able to transform themselves so that whatsoever I carry within meCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
