Walk in the marketplace like a buddha. Live in the world. The world is very enriching because relationship is a mirror. All relationships are mirrorlike. You see your face in the mirror of the other’s being. It is very difficult to see your own face directly – you will need the other, the mirror, to see your own face. And where can you find a better mirror than the eyes of the other?
Sometimes, look in the eyes of your enemy and you will see a facet of your being.Sometimes look in the eyes of your lover, your friend, and you will see another facet of your being. Sometimes look in a person’s eyes who is indifferent to you and you will see yet another facet of your being.
Collect all these faces; they are yours, aspects of your being. In different situations, with different people, in different worlds, move and gather all this richness and awareness and alertness and consciousness. Then go back to the center and take all this awareness with you, and your ecstasy in the meditation will be deeper and richer for that.
