Mar 10 2015 : The Economic Times (Delhi) Vedanta - Sufis in Disguise OSHO   Sufis want their energies to be used rightly , because they are creative people. They are not interested in name and fame; they are only interested in giving new life to people who desire God, long for God. Why should they waste their time and energy? There are many kinds of people. A few are curious people, they come just out of curiosity , they waste time. Then there are a few who come with enquiry . They are better than the curious people, there is some possibility that they may grow, but that is only a possibility .Then there is a third kind who is really a seeker, who is ready to stake his life, who is ready to lose something for it, who is ready to pay the price for it.The Sufi will work with the third person, he will remain available to the second kind of per son, and he will become absolutely invisible to the first kind of person: the curious. The Sufi is economical about his energy . He knows his days are numbered. What is 50 years compared to the eternal procession of time? He'll be here for only a few days, a few months, a few years. And he can work on only a few people. If he is surrounded by curious people, his energy will be wasted. I mean, one who is ready to stake whatsoever is needed to stake, who does not just have an `itch' in his head, who is not only curious but whose problem is that of life and death.Even if I demand that your life will be needed, if you are seeker, you will say , “I am available.Take this life but give me God.If by giving my life, God can be attained, then I am happily ready .“ Life is worthless for a seeker; everything is worthless -except truth.
