The Guest

A meeting with the guest

A meeting with the guest. The guest is the divine—waiting to meet you. A meeting with the guest: the divine is not the host—He's the guest. You must invite Him in. The host (ego) must prepare for the guest (God). A meeting—not a concept but a living encounter.

The time has come to be free

The time has come to be free. Not tomorrow—now. The time has come to be free: not in the future—now. The guest is at the door—open it. Freedom is not earned—it's recognized. The time is always now.

Live in the is!

Live in the is! Live in what IS—not in what was or will be. Live in the is! the past is gone, the future is not yet—only the IS. The guest comes in the present. Don't live in 'was' or 'will be'—live in IS. The present is the only door.

The guest waits for you to die

The guest waits for you to die. The ego must die for the guest to enter. The guest waits for you to die: the guest (God) can't enter while the host (ego) occupies the house. The ego must leave—then the guest enters. Die to the false; the true arrives.

A play with the devil

A play with the devil. The ego is the devil—play with it, then drop it. A play with the devil: the ego is the devil—but don't fight it, play with it. The play reveals its nature. When you see the ego is just a play, you laugh. The devil disappears in laughter.

I am a living light

I am a living light. Not borrowed light—living, your own. I am a living light: not the light of scriptures—living light, your own. The guest brings light—not from outside but from within. You ARE the light—the guest is your own luminosity.

The god whom I love is inside

The god whom I love is inside. Not in the temple—within. The god whom I love is inside: don't look for God in temples—He's inside. The guest is not coming from far away—He's in the inner room. The inside is the real temple.

You are my golden cornfield

You are my golden cornfield. The disciple as the master's harvest. You are my golden cornfield: the master sees the disciple as a ripe field—golden, ready. The guest comes when the field is golden. The master's work is to ripen the disciple.

God is born again

God is born again. Not historically—now, in you. God is born again: not the historical Jesus—God born in you, now. The guest is born in the inn of your heart. Every awakening is a new birth of God. Christmas is not a day—it's a state.

Why not wake up this morning?

Why not wake up this morning? The daily invitation—wake up now. Why not wake up this morning? every morning is an invitation. The guest has been waiting all night. Why not today? Why not now? The morning is the moment of awakening.

Let your aloneness become a dance

Let your aloneness become a dance. Aloneness is not loneliness—it's a dance. Let your aloneness become a dance: when the ego leaves, you're alone—but not lonely. The guest fills the empty house with dance. Aloneness is the celebration of being.

Allow him to reach you

Allow him to reach you. Don't resist—allow the guest in. Allow him to reach you: the guest is trying to enter—don't resist. Your resistance is the ego. Allow, surrender, open. The guest doesn't force—He waits for permission.

The guest is inside you

The guest is inside you. The ultimate discovery—He was always inside. The guest is inside you: the search ends where it began—within. You looked everywhere for the guest—and He was inside all along. The guest is not an arrival but a recognition.

I am not a person

I am not a person. The sage is not a person—a presence. I am not a person: the awakened one is not a personality—he's a presence. The person is the ego; the presence is the guest. When the person leaves, the guest (presence) shines.

From zero learning to learning zero

From zero learning to learning zero. First learn that you're zero—then learn the zero itself. From zero learning to learning zero: first, learn you're nothing (zero). Then, learn that even nothing is something—go beyond zero and non-zero. The guest is beyond both being and non-being.
