CHAPTER 1

1 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium

Satyo Dorothee. Satyo means truth; Dorothee means a gift of God.
Truth is never an achievement; one cannot seek and search it. Seeking is a sure way of not finding
it. Search and you will miss, because the very idea of searching, seeking, is rooted in desire, and
desire is the barrier.

Truth happens when there is no desire in the mind. When the mind is utterly desireless, then truth
comes. It visits only when desire has left it. Not only the worldly desires but the desire for truth also
should leave. Not only desires for money, power and prestige, but desire for God also is a barrier.
The object of desire is irrelevant; desire itself is the problem.

Truth is a gift for those who have dropped desiring. In those rare moments when the mind is without
desire there is such silence, such receptivity, that one cannot imagine it, one cannot dream about it.
It is utter silence, because all noise consists of desires. In that silence is benediction. That silence
is truth.

Deva Wolfgang. Deva means divine; Wolfgang means the walk of the wolf. But because each thing
is divine, even the walk of the wolf is divine; because each being is divine, even the wolf is divine.
The animal has not to be destroyed; the animal has to be raised to the divine.

And we have all wolves within us. We come from the world of the animals. Charles Darwin is
perfectly right, that man is an evolved form of animals. But he ends there; that’s where he is wrong.
Man is not yet arrived; it is on the way. Man has come from the animals but has to go to God too.
Man is only a passage for the animal to attain the divine, a bridge stretched between the animal and
the divine.
