Father Christmas is far more real
A man of tao is absolutely unreal, because he doesn't exist as an ego. A man of tao not solid at all. If you go through him, you can pass through him without coming across anybody. A man of tao is empty. Because of this emptiness, he can function as a screen for any sort of projection. You can project anything on him. There are people who think a man of tao is a saint, and there are people who think he is a rascal. There are people who think he is the greatest sinner there is, and there are people who think he is the greatest Master there is. And both are right and both are wrong, because he is neither. You project. It is difficult for you not to project. But you have to destroy all your projections. Once your projections are destroyed, you will be freed. Father Christmas is far more real. If you look into him, you will find a real person there. If you look into a man of tao, there is no person. In the East they call God the imperson. There is no personality. A man of tao is just a window; you can look through him. There is not even a glass; there is nothing. But you can project. So it is very easy for you to project because, whatsoever you project, there is nobody to deny it. There is nobody to say, "No, your projection is wrong." You are playing the game alone. You will know the reality only when you have stopped all projections, when you have become empty, when you have attained to meditative energy. The meditative energy is a nonprojective energy. It does not project anything; it simply looks at things as they are. If a meditator comes across a flower, he will not even say it is a rose flower, because the word "rose" becomes a projection. With the word "rose" all the roses that you have known before come between you and this rose. With the word "rose" all that you have heard about roses, all the poetry that you have read about roses -- all that arises between you and the reality. A real meditator will simply look at the rose without even saying the word "rose" inside his being; there will be no language. There will be no idea what it is. He will simply see that which is, the nameless. And that is the only way to see the real rose. If you want to see reality, you will have to come without any ideas. And that's how, if you come closer and closer, more and more projections will fall. You will be disillusioned, and this time disillusioned forever. That's the hope. If you cooperate, you will be disillusioned forever. Then you will never project again. And that's all a Master can do: to help you not to project again.
Two Martians were walking along Piccadilly. One of them nudged the other and pointing to a traffic light said, "How would you like her for a girlfriend?"...
A traffic light! But you can think about Martians -- they can project...."Wow!" said his friend. "What a beauty! I think I will go over and chat her up."
After about ten minutes he rejoined his companion, who asked, "Well, how did you get on?"
"Not bad," replied the second Martian. "She did not actually say anything, but she keeps winking at me."
A traffic light, but you can project.
