An excerpt:

People say, “There’s so much greed in this world.” Yes, there is! But why is there greed? Why is there greed? You think human beings are only capable of greed? No, human beings are also capable of generosity.

I just want the wind to blow so you can fly the kite. I want the river to run. I want the well to be full of water, so you can be in the glory of a human being—the glory of a human being. The flower that blooms, blooms! Petals open, colors vibrant, beauty unmatched, fragrance, hypnotizing. Bloom! That’s what needs to happen!

Know! Know that the peace dwells in your heart, not because I said it, but because you felt it. That’s knowing. Know that that Divine dwells in your heart, not because I said it—because you felt it, not one day, not two days, not three days, but all your life. This is the realm. There is no time—there is no “young”; there is no “old.” It is the same for everyone.

When spring comes, it comes the same for everyone—like a baby, a hundred-year-old, a fifty-year-old, forty, thirty, twenty. It comes for everyone in the same way. When the summer comes, it is the same way. When it is fall, it is the same way. When it is the winter, it is the same way.

Let the season of peace come in your life. The time has come. The time has come; let the season of peace come in your life.

What is the antidote to fear, especially the fear of making mistakes and being judged for it?

Prem Rawat:
Uncertainty creates fear; fear creates anger. Anger creates harm—harm to yourself, to others; it could be anything; harm is harm. Harm creates uncertainty; uncertainty creates fear; fear creates anger; anger creates harm.... “Arrrr-rrrraaaagh!” And off it goes!

So, you don’t want fear. What should you do? What is fear? Is it a presence, or is it an absence?

[Individual: Absence.]

Thank you! You see—and you guys learned too quickly.

MC:
There was certainty there, wasn’t there?

Prem Rawat:
Yes, there was certainty there. And the day you start living your life with certainty, then the ambiguities go away. And even if the ambiguities come, you have a weapon to say, "No, this is uncertain. I want to be certain. I want this life to be real."

It’s not that you will remove every single obstacle—because the obstacles will have a tendency to plunk in your way. But whenever you come across that obstacle, you have the power to be able to remove it. That’s what’s so beautiful! That’s life! It has the power to remove those obstacles; you have the power. And you’ve always had that power.

But again, you’re a believer, because believing is so much easier than knowing. It abdicates—we love to abdicate responsibility. So, “You show me.” And why? Why aren’t you doing it? Are you incapable of doing it? No, you’re not! You’re a human. And as a human, you have that power to be able to move the mountains.

And so, how to get rid of fear? Because it is an absence, bring the light of knowledge—not darkness of fear. Because that uncertainty will be removed by certainty. And there is nothing more certain than the knowledge. And there is nothing more certain than the Knowledge of the self.
