You will find meaning in life only if you create it. It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes, so you can go and you search a little bit and find it.

The Book of Mirdad
There are millions of books in the
world, but The Book of Mirdad stands out far above any other book
in existence.
It is unfortunate that very few
people are acquainted with The Book of
Miradad for simple
reason that it is not a religious scripture. It is a parable, a fiction, but
containing oceanic truth.
It is a small book, but the man who
gave birth to this book…And mind my words, I am not saying "the man who
wrote this book." Nobody wrote this book. I am saying the man who gave
birth to this book—he was unknown, a nobody.
It is an extraordinary book in the
sense that you can read it and miss it completely, because the meaning of the
book is not in the words of the book. The meaning of the book is running side
by side in the silence between the words, between the lines, in the gaps.
If you are in a state of meditative
ness, if you are not only reading fiction but encountering the whole religious
experience of a great human being, absorbing it; not intellectually
understanding but existentially drinking it, the words are there but they
become secondary.
And it is a book to be read by the
Heart, not by the mind. It is a book not to be understood, but experienced. It
is something phenomenal.
Millions of people have tried to
write books so that they can express the inexpressible, but they have failed
utterly. I know only one book, The Book
of Mirdad, which has
not failed; and if you cannot get to the very essence of it, it will be your
failure, not his.
The Book of Mirdad needs to be in every
house, it is so precious.
The Book of Mirdad is one of the
greatest devices that have been created down the ages. Don't read it like any
other book. Don't read it like Shri Bhagvadgita of Holy Bible. Read it as
beautiful poetry, as music spread on the pages. Read it as message from a
Master of Meditation.
The words are code words.
Don't look for their meaning in the
dictionary. Their meaning is when they strike something in your heart.
