Learn to Say

It is perhaps owing to the rapid pace of life, in which the slow movers lag behind, that man has literarlly forgotten himself. He has become just like a programmed robot.

You can live your life either as a no or as a yes. You will start thinking what is new in it? Yes, there is! You have heard these two words but never tried to explore the philosophy behind them. If you live your life as a no you become a warrior; you are constantly fighting. Then your life is just a struggle, a war and you are fighting against everybody else. Of course it is a losing battle and ultimately you will come face to face with a lost war. One can not win against the whole; the whole idea is just stupid. But it appeals to the ego. The ego always wants to say no. You feel superior if you say no because you do add your logic after that no. No is the food for the ego.

Yes is creative, yes is the way of the creator, the way of the lover. Yes means total surrender, surrendering to the whole, trusting to the whole as a friend- there is no need to fight- trusting life and existence.

Learn to say yes, learn to be yes, and a total yes, an unconditional and uninhibited yes. Don’t make any conditions on the yes. And you will be surprised: life starts growing in leaps and bounds, life starts becoming such a splendour, such a beauty, such a grace that one can not even imagine it. Life can become an unending ecstacy. All that is needed on your part is to open your doors and windows. Say yes to the winds, to the sun, to the moon, to the rain, to the whole.

Peaople generally say that there is a difference between saying and doing, and they can very easily turn away from the yes I have been telling you to learn. This is where you have to train yourself and learn the art to understand the shortness of this life. You will see that there is so little time for the petty quarrells that one can not say no.

So, come join the party of YES.
