The same will happen with me. You are fortunate that you are doing meditationwith me. Once I am gone the meditation is going to be organized -- it isimpossible to prevent it; it is the way things move. Then you will do it for twentyyears -- or two hundred years -- and nothing will happen. It does not happenthrough the technique; technique is just dead. It happens through the love thatyou feel for me, that I have for you. The technique is just an excuse. It is not themost important thing; the most important thing is your love, your trust. In thattrust, the technique works and functions, becomes alive, gets roots into yourheart.Sooner or later everything becomes organized: prayer, meditation, everything.Then the glory is lost. Then you can go on doing it -- you may become absolutelyperfect, skilled; it may also give some sort of consolation -- but the mutation willbe missing. You will remain the same, a continuity. It will not be a baptism: youwill not die in it, and you will not be reborn.That's why my insistence is on searching for an alive Master. Scriptures are there,once those rivers were flowing, but now they are frozen. They are lost in thedesert land of churches, temples and organizations. The poetry no longer throbsin them: they are dead dogmas, arguments; the love has disappeared.Remember this always: if you can find a living Master, forget all about scriptures.The living Master is the only scripture which is alive. Read his heart and allowyour heart to be read by him. Be in a communion -- that is the only way.Jesus worked the same way as you feel I am working, but twenty centuries havepassed. The first disciples who came around him staked their lives: they left allthat they had, they moved with this man, they risked everything. It was worth it.This man was a treasure of the unknown world. Nothing was too much.Whatsoever was asked they did. And they had the opportunity to walk with agod on this earth, to be in close affinity with divinity.Others were saying, "This man is wrong," but those who were close to him knewthat only this man is right -- and if this man is not right, then NOTHING can beright, then 'right' cannot exist. They crucified this man, but those who were closeknew that you cannot crucify him. This man had already entered immortality,this man had already become part of their immortal souls. You can kill the body,but not the spirit.They had lived, walked, breathed, into the being of this man. They weretransformed. It is not a question of technique. They prayed with this man but thereal thing was not prayer, the real thing was just to be in the presence of thisman. This man had a presence.Have you observed? -- very few people have what you call 'presence'. Rarely doyou come across a person who has a presence -- something indefinable abouthim, something that you suddenly feel but cannot indicate, something that fillsyou but is ineffable, something very mysterious and unknown. You cannot denyit, you cannot prove it. It is not the body because anybody can have the body; itis not the mind because anybody can have the mind.
