The Mirror of Life III

Everything is One

And when everything is one, no conflicts could remain in your mind at all. For all your problems are because of conflicts. And those conflicts is forever conning you all the time with its flicks and flickerings in your mind. Get rid of those, my beloveds, it’s so easy. Do your spiritual practices and you’ll find no more flickering that’s conning you. And the flame will be steady and then you can say, «Ah, I live.»

Yes. So you go to a hairdresser and what do you do there? They give you a shampoo and dress your hair. And then they spurt some I don’t know what on the hair to keep it in place. Why? Why do you do that? Because you are afraid that when you go out the wind will mush up your hair. What’s wrong in having the wind play its divine music in your hair? Caressing it so beautifully, so softly. What’s wrong with that? And yet you put on all these chemicals. What for? Of course, that’s the fashion, that’s the craze. And all crazes are crazy! So you do that right, and you go to bed and your hair is stiff with that hair spray. Ah, how about not using that hair spray, and when you go to bed at night your husband ruffles his fingers through your hair instead of hair spray. Isn’t it more beautiful? Isn’t it more comforting? It is. And when you feel the comfort of your husband’s fingers going through your hair you will respond in some way or the other. And then life is lived, and life is lived together.

So the point is this, that we are mixed up in artificialities. Why do you look into the mirror? Tell me. Do you know why? Ah, you put on those false eyelashes that comes from a horse’s ahh… I don’t know what. And then you put on that lipstick, and the main ingredient of lipstick is rat’s tails. And then that rouge, shall I tell you what it’s made of? Hm? Shall I? [Voices: yes] I’ll tell you in private. So the point is this, and remember this well: that life, which you think is life, is just a make‑up. For you have not known the reality of life. And that’s why I’m here, to make you realize the reality of life. Do you see?

When I see the sorrow on people’s faces in spite of this make‑up, my eyes get filled with tears. And do you know how much you destroy your skin? Do you think all these chemicals are doing anything better to your skin? No, they are destroying your skin and you put on more chemicals to make it seem okay. And then more chemicals again and more and more and more. What about total naturalness, Mother? What about total naturalness which makes your skin glow? Now I’m not referring to skin. What I’m referring to is the make‑up you put into what you call life. Get rid of that make‑up. Use all your rouges and fouges and… I don’t know these things. Use them if you want to. But take off the make‑up of that which you imagine yourself to be. And when you get rid of imagining, then you are you and you are the bee producing so much honey, collecting it from all varied flowers to bring sweetness in your life. Hm?

I suppose that’s an hour, is it? More or less.

You know, the guy went to a psychiatrist, there’s a couple of new people here so they would like to hear it, [laughter] [VIDEO ENDS] I used it on the last course. So he went to a psychiatrist and after a whole hour of consultation with the psychiatrist he says, «What is your opinion?» So the psychiatrist says, «You are crazy.» Then this chap got wild, and he says, «I want a second opinion.» And the second opinion was this, «You are ugly, too.» [laughter]

We will save some more for tomorrow.
