Question 8

YOU GO ON SPEAKING DAILY, ON AND ON, BUT WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT TO SAY, BELOVED MASTER?

A parable...

He said: I see.

And they said: He's crazy -- crucify him.

He still said: I see.

And they said: He's an extremist. And they tolerated him.

And he continued to say: I see.

And they said: He's eccentric. And they rather liked him, but smiled at him.

And he stubbornly said again: I see.

And they said: There is something in what he says. And they gave him half an ear.

But he said, as if he had never said it before: I see.

And at last they were awake. And they gathered about him and built a temple in his name.

And he only said: I see.

That's what I am saying: I see. I go on saying the same thing again and again -- that I see. The day you will hear it in deep awareness, you will also be capable to see. There is nothing else to say. I see -- you can also see. And that seeing is the goal.

In the East, we don't call philosophy "philosophy," we call it DARSHANA. DARSHANA means `the capacity to see'. When you come to see me, it is called DARSHANA. It means you have come to be with me, to see through me, with me, through my eyes. I am not conveying any message to you. I am simply shouting one thing: that I have seen, and I am seeing, and you are blind.
