• All that is great is going to happen to you-- not by your effort, but by your relaxed openness, availability. Just keep your doors open.

Boiling Point

 

 

People miss life because they don't have intensity. They live only so-so, lukewarm; that is the definition of their life. They never come to the boiling point, and only at the boiling point does the evaporation happen. The moment the water evaporates it takes a totally new form -- not only quantitatively different but qualitatively different. Water flows downwards, vapour rises upwards; water is visible, vapour becomes invisible. Passion flows downwards, compassion rises upwards; passion is visible, compassion is invisible. Compassion is evaporation of all your passions; but that is possible only at one-hundred-degree heat.

 

And that is my whole teaching: to live life in utter intensity, to live life madly and totally.
