BAULS are very active people, whirlwinds — dancing, singing, and yet very inactive people as far as God is concerned. They say, “Whenever YOU think is the right time, come; you will find me waiting. I am helpless, I don’t know where you are. I am helpless, I don’t know how to find you. My only prayer is that you help me to allow you to find me.” They simply dance and wait, they sing and wait. This waiting for God is their prayer. If you can wait you will pass through a great transformation. Nothing is needed to be done; simple waiting — but it needs great trust. Otherwise the mind will say, “What are you doing? If you are not going to seek Him, you will never find Him.”
Bauls say, just like Lao Tzu, “Seek and you will miss. Seek not and find.” He is here; your seeking takes you somewhere else. He has already come. The guest is at the door; He is knocking. But you are so occupied inside the mind — maybe occupied for Him, thinking about Him, but so occupied — that you cannot listen to the moment, and you cannot be open to the herenow.
