This is very difficult to understand because your ego always seeks goals and iflearning continues forever and ever, then there is no goal. But I tell you, that'show life is. Life has no goal, it is an ever-flowing river: always reaching, butnever reaching; always arriving -- but every arrival becomes a new departure.Go to the Himalayas. You trek, you move, you go high to the peak. All the timeyou were trekking up, there was no peak beyond it. Then you reach the peak andmany more peaks are revealed. You go on and on and on; it is an ongoingProcess.God is the process. Even God is learning. It has to be so, otherwise He will bestupid. He is not stupid, He is learning. He is evolving -- and that's beautiful.Nothing is static, everything is dynamic. That's what I mean when I say: don'tsay 'God is', always say 'God is happening'. Don't use a static term; don't use anoun for Him -- use a verb. Say, "He is happening"; say, "He is learning"; say, "Heis evolving"; say, "He is a process, He is a river," and you will have struck truth.Yes, I am continuously learning. Every moment life is so tremendously beautifuland so tremendously vast, so tremendously infinite and so tremendouslymysterious. To say that one has known all will be sacrilegious.Question 5WHY DID JESUS CONSTANTLY TALK IN OBSCURE PARABLES WHICHBAFFLED EVEN HIS DISCIPLES MOST OF THE TIME? WAS THIS ADELIBERATE TECHNIQUE? WHY COULDN'T HE BE MORESTRAIGHTFORWARD LIKE YOU?Whoever told you that I am straightforward? While listening to me you may getthat impression. Think and meditate on it later on: you will find me morebaffling than Jesus. At least he is consistent!And never ask such questions because these questions show that you are sittingas a judge. Why did Jesus do this or that? If you cannot leave even Jesus out ofyour judgement, how will you be able to leave out anybody else? Why can't youaccept things as they are? " Why is this flower white and not red?" -- is it not afoolish question? This flower is red, that flower is white -- why?A small child was walking with D. H. Lawrence in a garden and the child asked,"Why are the trees green?"D. H. Lawrence looked at the child and said, "They are green because they aregreen!"Jesus is Jesus, I am me. Jesus is not there to follow me, nor am I there to followhim. And it is good that everybody is unique, otherwise life would be aboredom, a monotony. But people are foolish -- they go on co *ming to me andasking me: "Why did Buddha say this, why did Mahavir never say this?" ButMahavir is Mahavir, Buddha is Buddha. The Ganges flows towards the east andthe Narmada goes on flowing towards the west -- what to do? If all the riverswere flowing towards the east, do you think the world would be better?
