It takes a very very
powerful longing
In fact it takes all that longing
that wants to become somebody, all that repressed energy
the oppressed uniqueness, when it is awakened
towards inner liberation
this is the force that can liberate us
because from the society it cannot come
you can be smiley and friendly
and you can get from someone around you. their approval
of "wow you are great man" or a woman
but it will be like a drop of water in the desert, it won't be enough
to set us free, that approval from the other,
that attention that we get, the confirmation
cannot quench that thirst of our soul
Only one thing can quench this thirst
and it is to become
the unique
expression that we are
to fulfill the destiny of that masterpiece
that was created, and I'm saying unique
I'm not saying special
because special is this effort for confirmation
Special is taking this uniqueness which is natural
and which is your true nature
and turning it into an ego trip
So I m saying "the unique"
Uniqueness does not compare itself with other
Special can exist only if it's comparative to ordinariness
that's why special is a state of the ego.
It looks around
and, the orientation is around the other
and it's evaluating, and according to the other
I am special, or I am ordinary or I am better, it is competitive
uniqueness is not competitive
Uniqueness is the most natural flowing expression of who we are
and before we could become that
We can go
gain a drop of water here and there
to quench, temporarily the thirst
and sometimes we get a drop of water and we think "Ha"
I think I found the formula
and I will continue to improve on this level
and I will continue to pretend this and that
and, maybe I can get a full glass
And so sometimes you find people
becoming, so powerful and so rich
that whenever they gain it
You look at them and you see
They are not fulfilled. All their life they were thinking if I will become the prime minister
or if I will become that rich
The inner desert will become into a rainforest
and then they attain it, they gain it, they achieve it
and it's still drought
because only when we express the uniqueness
of who we are
become that
liberating ourselves
from the chains of society
and surrendering ourselves
to the mystery of being
that quench, that thirst is quenched
