First wishing:

Normally I don't like repeating the contents or Topics of the mail I send, but this time I have to make an exception because again the same occasion lies before us, but we go on missing it every year, year after year until may be there is no more time and space! And we are yet not aware of what I had written to you last year.

We celebrate the birth of JESUS, the man who was LOVE. But we don't realize or even think that can't the Christ be born again? within you? Alas we are not even aware of JESUS or LOVE; we seldom LOVE or KNOW or are capable of LOVE, as we have made ourselves. And this is a fact however otherwise we would like to think or fantasize. And all our attempts to deny this is self-deceit. THINK about it!

What is a HOLIDAY? It is not indulging in what we indulge in those days. We are so much concentrated on the sensual aspects of the things that we miss the point! To be with HOLINESS is Holiday. Alas HOLINESS lies within and only you can give birth to it that is discover it. How much time have you spent in your own inner silence on the Holidays? With your true self? We have created so much doings and attachments outside that HOLIDAYS are meant for getting back to your self. To get back to your inner quest. To the realms of NON-DOING! 

The test is are you getting joy from within or without? Are you in the out looking for filling the void within or sharing joy that is overflowing from within? Once the Christ is born within, once the self is discovered, eternal fun, merriment etc. comes from within and sweeps all that is outside.

Alas we are not even aware! We are asleep. You think you are aware? Let us take a simple test: this will clearly show how mechanical we are! Forget awareness! 

Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting of time. And no cheating!
    
     On your mark, get set, go...
    
     1: You are competing in a race and overtake the runner in second place. In which position are you now?

     Answer: If you answered that you're now in first, you're wrong! You overtook the second runner and took his place         therefore you are now in second place. For the next question try not to be so dim.
    
     2: If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in?
    
     Answer: If you answered second to last, you are wrong once again. Think about it... How can you overtake the person who is last? If you're behind them, they can't be last. You would have been last. And you thought you were aware!
    
     Anyway, here's another question to try. Don't take any notes or use a calculator, and remember, your replies must be instantaneous.
    
     3: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. and plus 10. What is the total?

     Answer: 5000? Wrong again! The correct answer is 4100. Try again with good calculator. Today is clearly not your AWARE day, although you should manage to get the last question right...
    
     4: Marie's father has five daughters:
     1. Chacha
     2. Cheche
     3. Chichi
     4. Chocho
     5. ????
     Question: What is the fifth daughter's name? Think quickly...you'll find the answer below....

     Answer: Chuchu? WRONG! It's obviously Marie! Read the question properly. AWARE???? AWAKE???????????????
    
     You are clearly the weakest link. Is it? It just shows how asleep and MECHANICAL our actions, thoughts, emotions  all are! Well you are not satisfied, I have 40 such hierarchically difficult questions. These were the easiest ones! 
 

The path to rebirth of the CHRIST is given by CHRIST himself and that is LOVE! But before that we should be AWARE! AWARE of LOVE! AWARE of our position and ourselves! And AWARE 24 hours a day. AWARE of the self! Or else we will crucify JESUS again in the outside as we have crucified ourselves in the inner!

And then with that let us go into some aspects of CHRIST and LOVE to realize for the whole year and now that:

Christmas  is the remembrance of a person who had become love. This is to be aware of the person who transcended to Godliness through love. This is to celebrate and give birth with awareness to love and Godliness within and without. 
 
This is to be aware that he didn't died for anything. He lived for all human beings to guide them to become god.
 
Did he die? No he just let the infinity merge with the infinity for all of us to sublime.
 
And .......................
 
He was carried to tusk because he was love. He was carried to tusk because he was truth! This is to be aware are we doing the same today? Have we formed a society wherein Jesus(es) can live and guide to live?
 
It is so easy to worship a dead person rather than have him wake us from our sleeps by way of living? Isn't it?
 
There was this disciple whom Jesus worshipped with his other disciples on the last night and told him to hurry up and do what he intended to do namely to hand him over to the King for money. Jesus knew what was to happen! Few even told him to escape, but he didn't. Disciple ultimately gave back the money that was given to him by priests. And even priests didn't utilize it. It was spent for building a cremation ground. What else you can do with such a money? We cremated the possible evolution of man by killing JESUS and hence ................
 
After all can you sell the Christ? Because he was Love.
 
This is to be aware that there are things beyond the sensualities, perceptions, emotions, experiences, thoughts, name, fame and money. And the path to it is LOVE!
 
There the Roman VC asked the people that today we can forgive one person. Do you want me to forgive Jesus. No. Forgive the thief, not the Jesus said people. The Roman VC knew there is something in this person. He asked thrice, but the crowd wanted to punish Jesus not Forgive!
 
He was nailed with three thieves. A tragic death. And during this time where it took hours for the person to die, Jesus felt thirsty and asked for water. And a soldier dipped a bamboo in the drain and put it on his face. Everybody expected a miracle to happen. Jesus had done miracles before, but here he didn't. He suffered because he wanted all humans to realize the Godliness.
 
And while on tusk he cried 'Hey God, what are you doing?' Immediately he realized and said 'Forgive me, thy wish will be done'. This is the moment Jesus died and Christ was born. Remember! Total acceptance!!!!!! BE AWARE OF IT!
 
A Christ was born. And to all those people who were laughing at him he prayed 'Forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.'
 
Do we know what we are doing? Endless are our misdeeds. Christ, Rabia, Astavakra, Mahavir, Buddha, Mansoor, Socrates, OSHO ...... and the list goes on. Even the so called civilized , so called free society poisoned OSHO.
 
Is there any end to this? And then we repent, then we worship. So much easy it is to worship the dead Christ because he can no longer come and pinpoint our hypocrisy!
 
Are we aware what we are doing?
 
See this man. Those who killed him, those who laughed at him, those who didn't forgive him. He forgave them, because he was love!
 
Yes, Forgiveness came automatically because he was Love!
 
I can't love anybody I can only become love! All other loves are commerce however subtle they may be!
 
So we should remember and be AWARE of this when we are partying, enjoying sensualities, that it is this Love we are celebrating so that one HOLIday:
 
We can also become TRUE LOVE! So that we can also give birth to CHRIST within. And realize the INFINITY that we are.
 
Alas we even don't know love. Forget the culmination of love that Christ reached! I am putting below words from one of the Gujarat Gazal I had wrote long ago in my teens.

Meaning Where are emotions, where are feelings and where are affections? I live in the world where weighted relations are offered and given. How then we transcend to the realms beyond emotions, feelings and affections when we even don't have them?
 
The fact of which we are not AWARE and don't want to be aware is: we love also from brain. And hence whatever we say, we even don't know love. There is so much to this but some other time.
 
So remember and be aware of this human who transcended to love and God by love.
 
And you too can sublime.
 
BE AWARE TO THIS LOVE and GIVE BIRTH TO CHRIST (Re-Discover) WITHIN!
 
Love, Regards and AWARENESS!
