“God is herenow, always herenow. God is THIS very condition. He is THIS very condition! THIS MOMENT, within and without, God is. And God is not something sacred, holy, far away again in heaven. God is all the conditions - and when I say all, I mean all: the sacred/the profane, the body/the soul, matter/consciousness. The lowest of the low is God. and the holiest of the holy is God, and there is not any difference between the two. To understand it is to relax. Then there is nowhere to go, then there is nothing to do. Then what is left is celebration, then what is left is to live joyously. Rejoice moment-to-moment, and don't divide things. Drinking tea is as sacred as doing yoga. Sleeping silently, relaxed, is as sacred as prayer. Looking at a tree, talking to a friend, walking early in the morning, working in the factory or in the office, is as holy as anything else. This is the understanding that is needed for Tao to happen. Tao is already happening; just your misunderstanding... Tao is already showering - in the sunrays, on the green trees. But you just think, "This is just the sun and they are just the trees - where is God? These are just people - where is God?" You want God to be something specific, and that's why you miss... God is not something special, not something specific. God is all these conditions, God is this totality. This moment - my talking to you, your listening to me, this communion, this silence, this bridging - yes, this is God, this is Tao. So forget all about achieving. Don't become an achiever. My sannyasins have to drop all kinds of ambitions - material. worldly and spiritual - all. My teaching to you is: live herenow! Drop ALL kinds of ambitions. This is sannyas: drop ALL kinds of ambitions, and see the miracle happening. Once you drop all ambitions you will have so much energy left that there will be no way other than to celebrate. You will have so much energy in you - all the energy that is involved in ambitions is released because ambitions have been dropped - and that energy becomes an oceanic experience within your soul. That is paradise, that is God. God is not a goal, but an experience of a non-ambitious mind. Tao has not to be achieved! The achievers go on missing it. The non-achievers suddenly realize that they have always lived in paradise, but because of their ambitions they were not able to see it. ..just try to understand what I am sharing with you. I am sharing with you this moment, this space. I am not giving you any goals. I am not driving you crazy for some achievement in the future. I am not inspiring you to run and chase some shadows. I am simply imparting to you what has happened to me. I want it to be shared with you. Dropping all ambition, I have arrived. Drop all ambitions and just be, and see the beauty and the benediction of existence. It is incredible, it is simply far-out! You have never dreamt about it, how beautiful it is. You could not have dreamt about it, it surpasses all your imaginations and fantasies. Its beauty is unbelievable, and the grace that is showering on you is just showering for no reason at all. It is very unreasonable! God does not give you because you are worthy. God gives you because He has so much, He cannot contain it!”

“-¿Qué leías? Guardó silencio durante unos segundos y al final admitió: -Peter Pan y Wendy. Héctor fingió sorprenderse, pero la risa lo traicionó. -Tú y tus lecturas raras... -Oye, que es un clásico. -Infantil. -Sí, bueno. Con algo tendré que alimentar a mi niña interior, ¿no? No voy a dejar que se muera de inanición como hiciste tú con el tuyo -le dijo medio en serio medio en broma. Su amigo le dirigió una mirada inquisitiva y Abril dijo-: Admítelo. Lo mataste. Al Héctor-niño, digo. Y ahora eres demasiado maduro.”

“«Hola. Por si he sido tan torpe de no haberte llamado aún, quiero que sepas que no es porque no te eche de menos. Sí te echo de menos. Seguramente, el retraso tendrá que ver con Griffin… El muy idiota dará problemas durante toda la gira, lo sé, pero por lo menos dejará de desnudarte con la mirada una temporada… Eso es cosa mía. Y por si nunca te lo había dicho, lo hago siempre. Cuando pasas a mi lado, imagino tus caderas desnudas bajo mis dedos. Cuando te inclinas para darme una cerveza, imagino tus pechos firmes, tus pezones duros pidiendo mi boca a gritos. Te preguntas por qué estoy siempre tan excitado, y te lo voy a decir. Tu cuerpo me quema. La caricia de tus dedos sobre mi piel enciende mi deseo. Tu aliento me cubre de una pasión abrasadora. Todo en ti es sensual, y tú no lo sabes en absoluto. Cuando me miras con esos ojos ahumados, desnudándome como te desnudo yo a ti, haces que mi sangre fluya como un torrente, y te deseo tanto… Sé que, esté donde esté en este momento, estaré muriéndome de deseo y que albergaré una profunda ansia, casi dolorosa… porque estaré pensando en ti. Los días no merecen la pena hasta que no estoy dentro de ti. Sólo me siento completo con tu cuerpo rodeando el mío. Pero no pienses que lo que siento por ti se limita sólo al sexo y a una reacción física. No… Es mucho más. Te has metido dentro de mí de tal forma que me has dejado herido y vulnerable. Estar contigo, hacerte el amor sólo es la muestra tangible de lo que siento por ti. Sé que me he convertido en uno de esos idiotas enamorados y balbuceantes, pero al fin y al cabo todo se reduce a dos palabras que apenas logran expresar lo que siento… Te amo.»”
