My people are not interested in converting anybody, because they don't have any doubt.  They are not here with me to be convinced.  They are here with me because they are already convinced as far as their hearts are concerned.  And if they are not convinced, they are free to leave; there is no need to be here at all.  I am not interested in the masses and the crowds; I am interested only in the chosen few, I am interested only in the spiritually aristocratic, the very few intelligent people.

So if your heart is dancing with me, good.  If it is not dancing with me, then this is not the right place for you – you are free to leave.  And my people will never try to convince anybody – at least while I am alive !  When I am gone, nothing can be done about it; then there is no guarantee. while i am alive they will not try to convince anybody.  But, without any of my people convincing you, you have come here; that is far more important.  Something of their joy has caught you, some glimpse in their eyes has touched you.  Something special in their vibe has brought you here.  This would not have been possible if they had argued.  Argument is very gross
and the work of real energy is very subtle. 

I receive thousands of letters from all over the world that "something strange is certainly there in your orange people.  They don't argue, they are not like Jehovah's witnesses. they are not like Hare Krishna people, always carrying the Bhagavadgita and trying to force things into your head, whether you are willing or not.  They don't interfere in anybody's life." But their non-interference is far more effective.  That shows that they have found something, that shows that they have discovered something.  Their very being is vibrant with their discovery.  They are joyous, they are happy, they are cheerful. they are living their life as creatively as possible. 

Now all kinds of creativity are happening here.  Tthere are dance groups, there are music groups, there is a theater group, there is an art group, and soon there will be many more - sculptors, architects, scientists, poets, novelists.  Everybody is going to be here, and they will all share their joy through creativity.  If their creativity can convince you, then that is a totally different matter.  If their very life can become a light to you, that is a totally different thing.  But they are not going to force anybody.  I am not in favor of coercing people.  You say to me : "people of almost all the religions try to convince other people to follow their respective religions."

They are religions and this is only a religiousness - at least right now it is only a religiousness.  It is only a quality, vague, fluid, flowing, dynamic; it has not become stagnant yet.  It can become stagnant only when I am gone.  While I am alive I will go on stirring - I will never allow you to settle anywhere.  I will go on and on calling you to new adventures, challenging you to new explorations.
