Spirituality is an experience, not knowledge. You cannot reduce it to knowledge;
it is always knowing, never knowledge. It is an insight, irreduceable into
words. You cannot put it into theories, into systems of thought; that is
impossible. And those who try to do it don't know anything... only then can they
do it. This is a strange phenomenon: those who know, they never try to reduce
their knowing to knowledge; and those who don't know, they are absolutely free.
They can create any knowledge, that is their invention. All spiritual knowledge
is the invention of the mind. Real spiritual knowing happens only when the mind
is dropped, when you are in a state of no-mind.
To accept yourself wherever. you are.... And don't think in terms of
competition! You need not be anywhere else. Wherever you are, if you can be
happy there, you have become religious, you have become spiritual. Spirituality
knows no competition, spirituality knows no greed, spirituality knows no
ambition -- because spirituality means desirelessness.
