And there is a subtle balance between the two. Being alone makes one dead… becoming alone makes one mad. So the East became dead, and the West is becoming mad. Nobody knows where they are going, for what they are going. Then again you hurry up.Įverybody is going. And when you reach the future, that will also become the present. It has to be used as a means for some other end in the future. Present is also just a passage for the future. The past is meaningless… even the present is meaningless. The West has become too concerned with becoming. The East became almost a dead world… nowhere to go, nothing to do, as if the past became all, future disappeared. In the East, people became too much concerned with being. This is the dynamism of life, the dialectics. At the same time, in the same moment, one is tremendously contented, and one is also tremendously discontented. This I call the meeting of being and becoming. The centre remains contented, and the circumference remains throbbing and waiting for the guest to knock at the door, because more is possible. This contentment does not make one dull, rather it makes one more alive, because one becomes more aware of many more possibilities. Tomorrow is coming… the future is coming. In this contentment and thankfulness, there is a prayer that much more is possible. With the present one feels absolutely thankful and grateful… but one is not dead. With the past one is completely satisfied. One is not saying, ’I don’t have what I need.’ And more is always available. It is a gift, a grace, so one is never complaining. Whatsoever has happened, has happened without your earning it.

You are happy… you go on being thankful for it.

You are happy, whatsoever you have got, you are grateful, whatsoever you have got, but you know much more is possible, and you go on praying for it. Real growth is possible when you are divinely contented and divinely discontented together. Then there are people who are too much engaged in becoming. They don’t know what ’divine discontent’ is. They simply become placid… no movement, no dynamism. There are people who become too satisfied with their being. And growth needs both the wings of being and becoming. That is the point where being and becoming meet. Whatsoever you have, always be happy with it, but always remember that more is possible. There is no limit to it, so never be satisfied.
