Ravi Vilkhu - Become Hopeless.

"Become hopeless.

People go on moving from one master to another; that is movement from one hope to another. They go to one master with hopes that he will give through his grace, that through his energy the thing will happen. Then they try, then they wait, with a very strained mind, because a mind which hopes can never be at ease; with a very impatient mind, because a mind which is filled with hope cannot be patient.
And then they start feeling uneasy because the thing is not happening. So this master is wrong, they must move to someone else. This is not movement from one master to another, this is movement from one hope to another. People move from one religion to another; there are conversions just because of hope. One can go on doing it for many, many lives.
It is neither a question of a master nor a question of a right method. It is a question of a direct insight, an immediate penetration into the phenomenon of what is happening, of why we hope, of why we can’t be without hope.
The phenomenon of enlightenment, of egolessness, is not caused by anything. It can happen any moment. No cause is needed. It is not an outcome of many causes, it is not a by-product. It is simple insight.
It can happen to a sinner; it may not happen to a saint."
