It Is Very Important To Take Yourself To Be a Beginner Constantly

It is very important, very important, to take yourself to be a beginner constantly. Because if I had to refer to past insight to make a claim of what is, then that would be just pride. Then that would just be a false spirituality. What is true has to be true now, and to approach the truth is not possible with even a sliver of pride. So unless we become totally humble and naked and innocent right now, it is not possible to approach the truth.

And without approaching the truth alive right now, we are speaking from past insight, which is worse than not having insight at all. Past insight we must not value at all, except for an inner inspiration to take us there. But it should not become something that I did, or I have done, or a hill that I have climbed already. It must be always fresh and alive with the innocence of a child. So humility—that is humility.

So if Krishna is sitting on that side of the house and we say, 'No, it's all right, I met Krishna yesterday,' what would you say to that one? You would say, 'No, that's unimportant. He's here now.' And to visit His room, we need to leave the past behind. And to leave the past behind, our pride doesn't allow us because we think that we've achieved something already. Now, I'm not saying you are doing that; I'm saying generally speaking in spirituality, this can become a trap. That is why it is important to just be a beginner every day.
