WHEN YOU FIGHT, YOU DISSIPATE ENERGY. When you fight, you lose energy. Buddha says, don't fight, preserve your energy, and you will be powerful.
A MAN WHO GOES ON PRESERVING HIS ENERGY becomes such a tremendous pool of energy that his very being is powerful. Just his presence is powerful, his presence is magical, miraculous.
COMING CLOSE TO HIM, you will start feeling that you are being changed and transformed. Coming close to him, you will feel your darkness disappearing. Coming close to him, you will feel a silence descending. Just coming close to him, you will feel you are being lifted to another plane of being, to another altitude of being, to another dimension.
People come to me and they ask HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT MASTER. The only way to find is just to be close, and be silent, be in harmony. And if in that harmony and silence you start feeling that you are soaring higher and higher, then this man is your master. Then this man is going to become your door for the ultimate. Then your energy fits with his energy. Then something between you and him falls in tune. Then something between you and him transpires, becomes a solid force.
You cannot decide by your intellect who is your master. You cannot decide by argumentation, and you cannot decide by your prejudice. You have heard many definitions -- that the master should be like this or like that. Those definitions won't help -- because a person may be fulfilling all the definitions and still he may not fit you; your and his energies may not be complementary.
And unless your energies are complementary, compensatory, completing each other, making a circle, then you cannot go high with that man. Going high has to be felt.
