MISTAKE YOUR IDENTITY!

[Paramahamsa]

MISTAKE YOUR IDENTITY!

Anyhow, for these two days, drop your identity. If you are a doctor, think of yourself as an engineer. If you are a lawyer, think of yourself as a doctor. If you are male, think of yourself as female. Just change your identity; relax from your identity for these two days. You don’t know the freedom you will experience if you are able to do this! Just for these two days decide, ‘There is no need for me to prove my identity to anyone. I am not going to prove my identity to anyone. I am not going to hold onto my identity.’ Just for these two days, be a Paramahamsa! The word Paramahamsa literally means: instead of society calling me mad, I myself say I am mad, so that I am free!

Just look at me! I don’t have to follow any one idea. I don’t have to follow any one mould. I give you only one guarantee: that I will not hurt you; that’s all. After that, I don’t have to prove anything to you. I am not even interested in proving any identity to you. That is why I don’t even use the word swami in my title. This swami word is associated with too much identity, too many problems. That is why I never use the word swami in my title. Paramahamsa means liberated. You can also live the life of liberation for these few days.

As long as you are here, try to even avoid talking. If you start talking, you will have to bring back your old identity; you have to talk in the same way; you will be on the same track. So for two days, just relax; do not carry the identity; do not carry your same ideas; just be like a vagabond.

Actually, hippies are the people who are very close to enlightenment; all they need is a little meditation, that’s all. They have all the other qualifications for enlightenment. I lived a hippie for nine years, but of course, not with drugs, only with meditation! If you simply remove drugs, and add meditation to hippies, they are enlightened… over! Nothing else needs to be done. Just remove their drugs and add some meditation. For these two days, let you be enlightened hippies! Paramahamsa is just an enlightened hippie, nothing else! Hippie minus drugs plus meditation equals enlightenment, that’s all!

For these two days, just relax from all identities; relax from feeling compelled to prove your identity; just be completely relaxed. Don’t bother about the results. At the end, you will see that so much can happen in you. So much of transformation can happen in you; you will be a new being, a new person when you leave the hall. This is such a great opportunity to sit, to experience Upanishad. Now, you are going to experience Upanishads. It is such a great opportunity to experience Upanishad from the very source of the vedic tradition; from the very root! So, all you need to do is only one thing: relaxing from your identity. If you don’t have one, you are saved; half the job is done. If you have one, then relax from it for the next two days.
