Life is a dream.

"It is easy to change character; the real work is to change consciousness, to become conscious — more conscious, more intensely and passionately conscious. When you are conscious, it is impossible to be angry, impossible to be greedy, impossible to be jealous, impossible to chase ambitions.

And when all anger, greed, ambitions, jealousy, possessiveness, lust disappear, the energy involved in them is released. That energy becomes your bliss. Now it does not come from outside; now it happens within your being, in the deepest recesses of your being.

And when that energy becomes available, you become a receptive field, you become a magnetic field. You attract the beyond — having become a magnetic field, when all the energy that was wasted by your unconsciousness gathers within you, spreading like a lake. When you become a lake of energy, you begin to attract the stars, you begin to attract the beyond, you begin to attract heaven itself.

And the meeting of your consciousness with the beyond is the point of bliss, of true happiness. This bliss knows nothing of unhappiness; it is sheer happiness. It knows nothing of death; it is sheer life. It knows nothing of darkness; it is sheer light, and to know it is the goal. Gautama Buddha set out in search of it, and one day, after six years of struggle, he attained it.

You too can attain it, but let me remind you: in saying that you can attain it, I am not trying to arouse the desire to attain it. I am simply stating a fact: if a person becomes a boundless lake of energy, undisturbed by anything worldly, it happens. It is more of an occurrence than an action. And it is better to call it bliss than happiness, because the word "happiness" creates the impression of something similar to what you understand by happiness. What you understand by happiness is nothing more than a relative state."
