JESUS CONSTRAINED HIS DISCIPLES TO GET INTO A SHIP, AND TO GO BEFORE HIM UNTO THE OTHER SIDE.23 AND. HE WENT UP INTO A MOUNTAIN APART TO PRAY: AND WHEN THE
5、 EVENING WAS COME, HE WAS THERE ALONE.24 BUT THE SHIP WAS NOW IN THE MIDST OF THE SEA, TOSSED WITH WAVES: FOR THE WIND WAS CONTRARY.25 AND IN THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT JESUS WENT UNTO THEM, WALKING ON THE SEA.26 AND WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAW HIM WALKING ON THE SEA, THEY WERE TROUBLED, SAYING, IT IS
6、 A SPIRIT; AND THEY CRIED OUT FOR FEAR.27 BUT STRAIGHTWAY JESUS SPAKE UNTO THEM, SAYING, BE OF GOOD CHEER; IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID.28 AND PETER ANSWERED HIM AND SAID, LORD, IF IT BE THOU, BID ME COME UNTO THEE ON THE WATER.29 AND HE SAID, COME. AND WHEN PETER WAS COME DOWN OUT OF THE SHIP, HE WALKED
7、ON THE WATER, TO GO TO JESUS.30 BUT WHEN HE SAW THE WIND BOISTEROUS, HE WAS AFRAID; AND BEGINNING TO SINK, HE CRIED, SAYING, LORD, SAVE ME.31 AND IMMEDIATELY JESUS STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND, AND CAUGHT HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, O THOU OF LITTLE FAITH, WHEREFORE DIDST THOU DOUBT?I AM A DRUNKARD. You may
8、 believe it or not, but I am a drunkard. You can look into my eyes and you can see it - I. am drunk with Jesus. And Jesus is a wine; he is not a man, hes an intoxication. And once you have tasted of him, then nothing of this world will ever be meaningful to you. Once the meaning from the beyond ente
9、rs into your life, this whole world becomes futile, immaterial, insignificant.Religion is a sort of intoxication. This has to be understood because without a deep intoxication, your life will never have any meaning. It will remain superficial prose and will never become a poem. You will walk but you
10、 will never be able to dance, and unless you dance you have missed. Unless you dance with such abundance, with such forgetfulness that you disappear in it, that the dancer is lost and only the dance remains. only then. And only then will you be able to know what life is.I remember: Once Alexander th
11、e Great asked Diogenes, You are so learned, you know so much. Cant you tell me something about God, what God is?Diogenes waited for a moment and then said, Give me one days time.Alexander came the next day but again Diogenes said, Give me two days time. And it happened again, and he said, Give me th
12、ree days time, and then four days and then five days, and then six days and the whole week was gone.Alexander was annoyed and said, What do you mean? If you dont know the answer you should have told me before. If you know, then what is the explanation for the delay?Diogenes said, That moment you ask
13、ed me, I thought that I knew. But the more I tried to catch hold of it, the more it became elusive. The more I thought about it, the farther away it was. Right now, I dont know anything, and the only thing I can say to you, said Diogenes, is that those who think they know God, they know not.God can
14、be known only when you are not. This is the meaning when I say, Until you become a drunkard - so that your ego is lost. I am a drunkard, drunk with Jesus. And when I will be talking to you about Jesus, it is not about Jesus. I am not a theologian, not a Christian, not a scholar. Theologians talk abo
15、ut, they go round and round, they beat around the bush. I am not going to talk about Jesus, I am going to talk Jesus. And when I talk about Jesus, it is not that I am talking about him, rather, he talks himself. I give him way, I become a passage. All that I do is that I dont hinder him. That is the
16、 only way to talk about Jesus or Buddha or Krishna. And when I will be talking Jesus I will not talk about Christ. Jesus is real, Christ is a principle. Jesus is concrete, Christ is abstract. Jesus is a man like you and me, of blood and bone. His heart beats. He laughs, he cries, he loves, he lives.Christ is a dead concept, bloodless; there is no heart beating there. Christianity is concerned with Christ, I am not concerned with Christ. The wor
