We can lead the cow to the water, we can not make it drink it.

We can put anyone in a candy shop surround them with all the candy in the world but we cannot make them eat something we know is better for them. Until they are ready, they will choose something based on their likes and dislikes. There is a saying in the English language: You can lead the cow to water but you can not make it drink it! They are like clay and people who have become able to know truth out of own experience are the clay potters. We keep touching the clay, squeezing it, adding water to it, until it reaches the right consistency making it possible for the truth to become visible. It can take its form as it was always mend to do.

When I met Ozay for the first time in physical form I drowned in his eyes and I KNEW that I had come home. A complete surrender took place on its own accord. I had reached the state in which surrender became a natural happening where as many people try to surrender from a mind concept because they have heard or read about how you need to surrender forgetting that it means you need to reach the state in which surrender happens as a result of previous experiences, experiences which have brought insight, understanding, acceptance which naturally leads into letting go,.....surrender.

When Ozay started telling me his stories about his experience in prison, his realization ending in Enlightenment I mostly did not UNDERSTOOD what he said. I heard what Ozay said but I only heard it intellectually. At the same time I felt something inside myself, something inside myself reacted to each word, as drinking nectar, feeding the open wounds, healing the suffering within my mind, feeling center and physical body. I just listened, listened, and listened. Then when Ozay would stop talking I would ponder his words, asking myself questions like: how does what Ozay said apply to me? to my life? how can I relate to the essence in what Ozay speaks of? How does it relate to me?

You see Ozay was not and is still not in the business of selling any truth. I am not in the business of selling any truth. I share my experience telling my story in my own words which are never complete but can be a light to those who are ready to surrender. That light will shine on each one of them until they become ready to drink the water on their own accord in their own time. Just like it happened to me.

I will keep leading cows to the water but leave them free in choice to when they will start drinking the water.
I will keep leading children to the candy store but leave them free in choice to how much and when they will start choosing the nectar instead of the candy on display.
I will keep slaughtering my ego each time it tries to take over.
I will keep offering friendship to all I come across until they become able to see that the friendship has always and will always be there. It can not be any different. Friendship is nothing else to me then Love of which we are all made so how can that be offered in my reality. It is already and will always be everywhere.

Eternally grateful I am, and always will be for all the time Ozay has chosen to live through his ego to guide me while shining his light into my darkness.

Question is "how can we offer it in any other way then free?" when we give it is always replaced there is no other way, if we give something from here the space made in that here will be filled in from there. Here and there are one.

Like when you take a handful of air the vacuum created by that movement will make that surrounding air will fill in where the air in your hand first was. Just as the air that was in your hand had to be taken before it could be replace by the air we took.

Same in when we take. When we take something else is lost. Their is a natural flow of all. If we take something we already had will have to make place.

When people only give importance to something that will cost something they are still in the devils control, in the uncontrolled mind. When something given for free so seen as not valuable the mind still measures by earthy means.

All we truly need is available for free. All other is not needed, it is just filling in space, which was already filled with itself.

If we have to dress up in a certain way to become able to enter someone who stands before us, then by all means let the one with the need for the dressing up pay for this dressing up.

As long as the one who dresses up does not dresses up to gain something for self, the exchange is done in correct conduct, beneficial.

If people from Europe or America or Russia look for a guru coming from India because in their minds only there the truth can be found, by all means let them do their search.

They only try to create a situation in which they can experience their fantasy, their believes which will make that they become ready to hopefully reach one day that point in which they can see that what they were looking for could have found inside themselves without ever leaving their home.

But people need to experience all before they can see the truth, become the truth.

How can we come to know that all we need comes for free unless we first have payed dearly for all we thought we needed to come to see that it never brought anything of value.

How can we become able to see that nothing can be added to that which we are unless we keep trying to add something to ourselves with no result.

we can only give, we can not do the peeling for someone else. I had to do my own peeling. Ozay showed me how to use the peeling knife but I had to do the work, I had to take the knife and starting to peel away all the layers underneath I was hiding. I was needy, I needed much. My giving was only based on the expectation of getting more in return.

And our giving is only real, without any expectation, when we have peeled our own ego layer by layer, and put back on this ego after we have come to experience what we are, as Aashan so beautifully said, dress ourselves with this ego, to function within this earthly existence as Ozay always so beautifully says to function as a light to all those still in darkness because of the layers blocking out the light.

question: how can time be valuable?

Does that not mean that we give importance to this and not to that?

Is time not a mind concept? and by that not a reality?

If we find time valuable do we not make that when we give some people time and others not because of expectation of what will be the result based on judgement? and give this importance above just being where we are when we are?

I see many times people mention as not having time for this or that, while spending a lot of time elsewhere where they chase and find ego rubbing pleasures.

I see many times people mention as not having time, having to go at a moment when their ideas, concepts, believes and ego are coming under, as they call it attack.

I know we all have responsibilities within earthly life, like family, providing food to those we can not provide for themselves yet because of age, or ill health. But outside of taking care of those who can not take care of themselves, does it really matter with whom and where we spend our time when it is done in full awareness, done in totally being present? Are they not a part of all, are we not one, only they do not know that as an experience yet?
