Questioner:
How can we expand the love within our hearts?
Sadhguru:
Beyond this identity you call as “myself” is a certain amount of energy functioning in a certain way. What kind of expression this energy finds is what your life is right now. This energy, this moment, can become love, joy, misery, or hatred. This same energy can become ecstasy. Yes? At different points in your life you have felt this same energy finding expression in different ways. How did your energy find expression in different ways? Whichever way the external situations were, accordingly, you reacted to that. Or in other words, your life energies are in deep enslavement to the external situation.
As long as your life energies are in deep enslavement with the outside, you are bound to live like an accidental person. If situations around you are conducive, you are loving. If situations around you are boiling, you also boil. The basic aspect of being human means that everything in you should happen by choice not by compulsion. If you had a choice as to what kind of expression this energy should find right now what expression would you offer it? Love and joy- there’s no question about it. Nobody needs to teach you to choose to be joyous. That life has already chosen. Finding a conscious expression to your life energies is the important aspect of being here as a human being.
Questioner:
Dear Sadhguru, is it possible to go into meditation for long durations? How does it help our spiritual growth?
Sadhguru:
A lot of people meditate for years. This is possible because people go off into different kinds of samadhis. These samadhis, by themselves have no great significance in terms of Realization. Experiencing a certain type of samadhi, doesn’t mean you are released from Existence. It is just a new level of experience.
It is like when you were a child, you had one level of experience, once you moved into your adulthood, you have another level of experience. The same things that you have experienced at a particular point in your life, after a few years, you experience them in a totally different way. So, you have moved from one level of experience to another level of experience.
Samadhis are just like this. You are moving from one level of experience to another level of experience in a much more significant and deeper sense. Still, it is just another level of experience.
Somebody may go into a certain level of samadhi and stay there for years because it is enjoyable. There is no space or time. There are no bodily problems. He has broken the physical and psychological barriers to some extent. But this is only temporary. The moment he comes out, again he gets hungry, he has to sleep, and again everything comes back.
Samadhi definitely has its benefits. There are many things it has to offer for an individual, but this doesn’t really take you any closer to Realization, as such. Compared to a man who is sober, a man who is slightly drunk, has a different level of experience, but he has to come down at some point. All samadhis, I would say, are a way of getting high without any external chemicals. Now, by going into these states, it opens up a new dimension for you, but it doesn’t leave any great transformation behind. It doesn’t leave you permanently transformed.
You have not moved into another reality. In the same reality, your level of experiences has deepened. You have experienced the same things in a little deeper sense. You have not become free from the mind.
Now, somebody meditates for 12 years and comes out. Even after 12 years, he may not be a realized being, but, maybe he is a little closer. When you go into another reality and stay there for long hours or long years, the grip of this reality is broken on you. Now, you have come to a experiential understanding that, this is not it. Not just an intellectual understanding, you have seen experientially that this is not it. That is the whole purpose of long meditations, staying there for very long. But most realized beings never went into samadhi states.
Gautama never sat for 12 years in one place, you know. Many of his disciples, many Buddhist monks went off into very long meditations. They never came out for years together, but Gautama himself never went, because he saw it is not necessary.
He practiced and experienced all the eight kinds of samadhis before his enlightenment and he discarded them. He said, “This is not it”. This is not going to take you any closer to realization. It is just moving into a higher level of experience and probably you will get more caught up, because it is more beautiful than the current reality.
If the goal is set, if you’ve made realization the top priority in your life, then every thing else which doesn’t take you one step closer is meaningless. Isn’t it? Let’s say you are climbing the Mount Everest, you will not take one step sideways, because every ounce of energy is needed. Now, if you have to transcend your own consciousness, you need every ounce of what you have and it’s not enough. So, any action that we perform, we don’t want it to be a sidewinder.
Questioner:
Sir, we all have weaknesses we don’t like. Something like smoking, or getting angry. We don’t like them, but we have them. How can we work on them?
Sadhguru:
See, the more you say “I don’t want something”, that becomes the basis of your mind. If you say “I don’t want something”, that will rule your mind, isn’t it? As an experiment, right now, nobody should think about monkeys for the next 10 seconds. Hmm, try it…only monkeys come to your mind, isn’t it? This is the nature of your mind. You can’t do anything head-on with your mind. You need to understand the process of your mind and see what to do with it.
Now, people are always coming and saying “I want to give up smoking what should I do?” I tell them, “You are not smoking right now. why would you smoke? Your body is not that kind of machine which smokes; automobiles do, but not your body. If you don’t want to smoke, don’t smoke”. Then they say, ”No, no, I am a smoker I am trying to give up smoking and it’s not working”.
The question is not about smoking or not smoking. It happened like this. One day a man who was friends with his neighbor, a lady, just drove with her and parked somewhere and suddenly his hands were all over her. She said, “You fool! What are you doing? I thought you are a decent fellow and I came with you, what is this nonsense?” He said, “No, I gave up smoking.” (laughs)
If you compulsively give up something, this is what will happen to you. It will take shape in some other way. Now, what is it that you are trying to do with smoking? One thing is probably you are down, you are trying to stimulate yourself with nicotine, or psychologically you feel incomplete. By holding a cigarette in your hand, you feel little more, you know, brave, man-like. Kids start smoking because they want to grow up soon, yes? A 10-year-old kid wants to smoke because he wants to become a man instantly. When he just inhales and blows it into somebody’s face, it feels like a man. Not anymore, but it was so 10 years ago.
It happened like this, there was a Sufi saint called Ibrahim. You have heard of Ibrahim? In his ashram or his center, two disciples were sitting very morose in the garden one evening and one said to the other, “I want to smoke but we are on a spiritual path, how to smoke?” The other one said “Even I want to smoke; I don’t know what to do”.
Then they decided, “Let us go and ask the master whether we can smoke or not”, because in the past, there have been many Sufi saints who were continuously smoking. So next day evening, one disciple was sitting in the same spot in the garden, totally miserable, the other disciple came smoking. He said, “Hey! Why are you smoking? Master told me not to smoke” So the other disciple asked, “What did you ask him?” “I asked him if I can smoke when I am meditating”. He said “No”. “That’s your problem”, said the second monk. I asked him whether I can meditate when I am smoking, and he told me go ahead. (laughs)
So don’t try to give it up, bring awareness into your life. Bring awareness to every aspect of your life; you will see everything that is not necessary will simply fall by the wayside. If you try to give it up, you’ll only struggle.
Even if you manage to give it up, probably you will cause more damage to yourself smoking in your dream than actually smoking. Yes. If you give up something that you want to do, in your dreams you will smoke a huge cigarette. Isn’t it? These things are not necessary, please see that something else is lacking. That is why you built these habits. If you go little deeper and bring a little awareness to your own nature, these things will just disappear.
Questioner:
Dear Sadhguru, I have too many doubts, how can I cultivate faith?
Sadhguru:
Faith is not something that you can cultivate. If it happens to you, it happens, if it doesn’t happen to you it doesn’t happen, that’s all. Does it mean to say ‘I have to just sit and wait and someday it will fall upon me’? No, it is just that if you understand the fundamentals of living here, in this existence you will see, for anything to happen, you must create the right kind of situation.
You want to grow cotton, you must understand what are the right conditions for growing cotton. If you go sit there near a cotton plant and pray to God, cotton will not bloom! If you just learn what are the right conditions for the cotton plant to grow, how the soil should be, how the manure should be, how the atmosphere should be, how the water should be, if you understand these conditions and create them, cotton will grow.
This is the basis of everything that is happening in the Existence – if you create the right kind of conditions, it will happen. If you do not create the right kind of conditions, it doesn’t matter how much you struggle, it’s not going to happen. So, if faith has to happen, for that also you must create the right kind of condition.
What is the condition necessary for faith? Jesus said, “Come follow me”. That’s his teaching, if you really look at it, all the other things don’t matter. The most fundamental of his teaching is: “Come, follow me”, that’s all. When he said this, the great scholars of that time, the intellectual, the educated, the powerful, did not follow him. It’s only the fishermen, and the farmers who followed him, because the thinking minds cannot follow anybody. They cannot, it’s not possible. Only the simple and innocent could follow him. Even these fishermen, these simple folks, even they walked a few steps behind him and then, they said “My father is dead, I’ll bury him and come”.
Jesus sounds so arrogant. For people who don’t understand, he is very arrogant. He said, “Leave the dead to the dead, you come.” Your father is dead, this man speaks like this. When your father is dead, what a thing to say! But, that’s what he said. So, only the very simple and innocent followed him. Others ignored him. Those who could not ignore him, crucified him. That’s all that happened.
Faith is only for the innocent. Don’t believe that you are innocent. The moment the modern education has entered you, you have a thinking mind, a questioning mind, a doubting mind. With this you cannot follow the path of faith. Does it mean to say faith is impossible for you? No, but don’t start with something that you don’t have, start with something that you have right now.
Whatever is dominant in you – right now you’re a thinking person, let’s use that; right now you’re a very physical person, let’s use that; right now you have a very strong sense of energy, let’s use that; lets say right now you have lots of emotions in you, let’s use that. But all the four need to be cultivated and used. If you come to a certain level of experience, then devotion becomes a natural part of you. If you try to be devote you will become deceptive; this devotion is just deception.
Faith is something which is within you. It’s your quality, it is something that you become, it is not something that you believe in. Faith is just a deep falling back into the Existence; you as a person have fallen apart; you have just become like a simple little wave with the Existence. You understand and you experience that you’re just a brief happening here. This moment it’s up, the next moment it’ll be down. It is not an intellectual understanding, it’s a living experience that you just see yourself as a small outcrop of this earth. When you’re like this as a living experience, then you are faith, until then there is no point talking about faith.
The faithfulness that you’re talking about is simply loyalty. That’s for slaves and idiots. People who talk loyalty are always people whose vested interest is how to hold you. It’s a devise to hold you. Faith is not a devise to hold you, faith is about liberating you. Faith is not about holding you, not about being for this group or that group. Faith is just to become a part of this Existence. That is not something that you do, that is something that you become.
Questioner:
Sadhguru, is there life after death?
Sadhguru:
Most people don’t know how to handle their life here. Do you see this in the world? Why are they pursuing life after death? What is the point?
Anything that is not in your experience, there is no way to understand and analyze. This needs to be extremely clear to every individual. People are always trying to understand life after death. You cannot understand anything which is in a different dimension than you are right now. The whole effort is to move to a different dimension. If that needs to happen, first you must stop understanding. You have to see that you cannot understand, and that there is no need to understand. It is the experience which takes you out of this dimension.
If you try to understand a flower, what will you understand? In your attempt to understand it, maybe you will pull it apart petal by petal. But you will understand nothing. Maybe you will know the chemistry of it. Maybe you will analyze everything and then you will conclude everything is proton, neutron, and electron. All that is fine, but you will not know anything about the flower.
Now people are trying to deliver spirituality as an understanding. Understanding is needed about how you are bound, that’s all. You cannot understand the other dimension. See, people are always talking about how God is, how heaven is. This will not lead you anywhere except to hallucinations. The only thing that you need to understand is how you are bound to your limitations. If you understand this and free yourself from those bondages, where you have to go you will anyway go.
If I talk about the sky, it’s no use. What are the ropes which are tying you down to the earth? That is all that matters. Your business is with the ropes that are tying you down, not with the sky. If you untie these ropes, you will anyway reach the sky. When you reach there, only then you will know what the sky is. Till then, whatever you think about it, whatever understanding, whatever analysis you make, is coming from the limited dimension of where you are right now.
There is no way to understand that which is beyond your present level of experience. So the Guru’s work is to help you to untie the knots with which you are binding yourself, and to show you where the knots are. And if you untie them and you’re ready, you are on the edge; maybe just with one knot left, then he can push you. If he pushes you when you have ten ropes tied down then it will damage you.
He can push you only when everything is broken and just one single thread is hanging. Then he can push you. He can afford to push you because you will not break, only the thread will break. With Yoga, you can mature the body, mature the mind, and mature the energies so that slowly, these bondages and ropes that we are tying around us gradually are broken down. A moment comes when all you need is a Whoo! You will go.
Questioner:
Sadhguru, What is the purpose of life? Why has God created us?
Sadhguru:
These questions What is the purpose of life? Why did God put us here? keep coming up again and again. Perhaps, you want to find God and hang him!
Fundamentally, what you are asking is: why creation? The same question keeps coming in so many different ways. When it comes to creation, you never ask why, because you are just a tiny speck in this creation. In the arrangements that you have made as a human being, I know you slowly started assuming that, in many ways, you are the center of the universe. But that is not the truth; you are just a tiny speck in the Existence. Tomorrow morning, if you disappear, nobody will miss you.
So, this tiny speck asking the question: ‘Why creation,’ does not make sense because the question doesn’t come from the right context. This question comes up because somewhere the experience of life has not become blissful. If the experience of life had become blissful, you would not ask. Somewhere existing here has become a struggle and a pain.
The question comes up because there is an inner struggle. Maybe you are not hundred percent aware of the struggle, but here and there it touches you. So now, the more intelligent question for you would be: How do I get beyond this struggling state? If you ask how, I have a way. If you ask why, then I have to tell you a story.
If you want I can tell you one right now. One day, Shiva had nothing to do and he was playing marbles – nobody else, no company. One marble fell this way and it became planet Earth. Another one shot up and it became the Sun; I can go on like this. Now you won’t believe this ridiculous story. But if I make the story more elaborate, and if the story is not told today, but a thousand years ago, you would believe it. You don’t believe anything that happens today, but you will believe it after a thousand years. It doesn’t matter what it is.
So, I said, A thousand years ago..you would believe the story. Stories don’t liberate you. Stories just equip you to speak with some sense of authority in the next dinner party you are invited to. It won’t liberate you in any way. So when it comes to Existence, don’t waste your life asking the question, ‘why?’ Because if you sit here for the rest of your life and go on thinking ‘why’, or consult every other person on this planet, all you will get is more and more fairy tales; you will not get a solution. If you are intelligent, you can see it right now. Different cultures will tell different stories; different religions will tell different stories; every individual can create his own story. Stories will not liberate you. But if you ask ‘how’, then we open up the path, we give you the method. Don’t ask why.
Questioner:
I understand that anger is a part of the living process, is that correct?
Sadhguru:
Anger must be a very beautiful thing, because a lot of people have taken onto it (laughs). It must be a very wonderful thing, because so many people have chosen, like Coca-Cola. Probably more people are into anger than Coca-Cola, isn’t it (laughs)? So it must be a really a great thing so many people have chosen. But they have not chosen; they have helplessly fallen into it, that’s the problem.
They have fallen into it because, for most people – or in a way they have chosen it unconsciously because the most intense moments in their lives is either pain or anger. These are the only two intensities that they know and every human being always longs for intensity. So today watching these sports and other things has become such a big thing, because you could never watch a battle like that before.
You remember the film The Gladiators, these gladiators – it is still a sport, a wild sport; war was a sport. Because it is not the violence, it is not the blood, it is not the killing that people like; people want to see something intense. Now why all these thrillers and action movies and sports events are so popular is and people want some intensity, somewhere. They don’t know how to be intense. Either through physical action, or through anger, or through pain – this is the only way they know how to be intense.
The very reason why these drugs and sex has become such a big thing in the world is somehow they want to experience some intensity, at least for a few moments; they want to know some intensity. It is the intensity which draws them. And as you know, I am always talking about intensity because that is the only thing that man is seeking for, and that is the only thing that will liberate man from his present bondages.
So anger is enormous intensity; it’s an intensity which hurts you. It’s an intensity which can get you into a lot of trouble. It’s an intensity which can destroy people around you and yourself, in so many ways. It’s an intensity which gets you into absolutely stupid states of action. So your attachment to anger is not just anger, it’s just that you like the intensity of it. Though you know it causes so much damage, here and there you want to get into anger.
And people like the angry man, please see. See, you want to go and watch a movie; if your hero – the Hollywood man – is a very calm, quiet man, you’re not so interested in him. He’s an angry man, who stands up and does things in anger, not peacefully, you like him because he’s got intensity about him. So you would like to do the same thing but you pay a very big price trying to be angry in the situations in which you live; because people around you are going to get even more angry with you, and they will do their own things to you.
People have done wonderful things out of anger also. A lot of people still believe genuine action will come forth only in anger. See now, for example, we have to fight a battle, let’s say – to protect ourselves, to protect our families, our country, or our world. Whichever way, we have to fight a war. We can fight a war without anger, very efficiently but people would like to fight with anger because they don’t know how else to become intense. They have to create anger; that’s the only way they know how to be intense, and that is the only way they know how to perform intense activity or fruitful activity in some way. That’s the only way they can get themselves to do certain things which they would otherwise be incapable of doing.
So don’t worry about your anger. At least in anger you’re becoming intense. It’s time to transform this intensity into higher levels of intensity where it’s very beautiful. At least somebody’s able to get angry, I’m happy. I can’t bear with the people who are eating eight meals a day and are just lethargic, and nothing happens within them; they don’t even get angry. If anger is happening at least some life is cooking within you; life is still kicking, you know?
Questioner:
In this competitive world, compassion and honesty are things which are very difficult to practice in life. What should we do about that?
Sadhguru:
If you leave out compassion, what is left? You can only be an animal. Society is in that state right now. If you survey the challenges of today’s world, one can easily come to a dismaying conclusion. There is a great competition. Those who want to compete can compete. If you don’t need the race, why don’t you come out? Or at least why can’t you slow down the pace? No, you want to race with everybody because you want to be one up on everybody, especially your neighbor. But you do not want to face the difficulties that arise due to this competition. You should understand this very clearly – whatever action you perform in your life, there is a consequence to it. There is no such thing as you must perform only this type of action and you must not perform another type of action. You can do anything. But you must be in a state to accept the consequences joyously.
After performing the action, cribbing or crying when you have to face the consequences will not do. Do whatever you want in your life, but tomorrow, when you have to face the consequences, you should not cry and complain. If you can accept this joyously, you can do anything. If you don’t have the energy to accept the consequence, you don’t have to perform that action! It is not needed. Just because somebody else is doing something, you don’t have to attempt it or do it. You do not know the kind of energy they have. Isn’t it? So, the society has not become competitive; you are caught in the rat race. You can compete to the extent you want to. But if you don’t have the need for competition, then come, we will teach you meditation; we will set you on the path of meditation – not because you are useless for anything else, only because the need to compete, the need to be in the rat race has dropped.
Questioner:
Much of the anxiety I experience comes through my relationships. Isn’t it reasonable to expect some understanding from other people?
Sadhguru:
When you live in this world, there are various types of complex interactions happening. As your field-of-play increases, the complexity of interaction also goes on increasing. If you’re just sitting in a cubicle, working on your computer with only one other person, you need only a little understanding; but if you’re managing a thousand people, you need a vast understanding of everybody. Now, suppose you’re managing a thousand people and you want all these people to understand you, then you’re not going to manage anything. You need to understand the limitations and the capabilities of these thousand people and do what you can; only then will you have the power to move the situation the way you want it to go. If you’re waiting for these thousand people to understand you and act, it is only a pipe dream; it is never going to happen.
The closer the relationship is, the more effort you should make to understand them. Somebody becomes closer and dearer to you only as you understand them better. If they understand you, they enjoy the closeness of the relationship. If you understand them better, then you enjoy the closeness. It is not that the other person is totally bereft of understanding. With your understanding you can create situations where the other person would be able to understand you better. If you’re expecting the other to understand and comply with you all the time while you don’t understand the limitations, the possibilities, the needs and the capabilities of that person, then conflict is all that will happen; it is bound to happen. Unfortunately, the closest relationships in the world have more conflict going on than between enemies.
In your relationships, you have fought many more battles than this and are still fighting; isn’t it so? This is because your line of understanding and theirs is different. If you cross this L.O.C., this Line of Control, they will get mad. If they cross it, you will get mad. If you move your understanding beyond theirs, their understanding also becomes a part of your understanding. You will be able to embrace their limitations and capabilities. In everyone, there are some positive aspects and some negative aspects. If you embrace all this in your understanding, you can make the relationship the way you want it. If you leave it to their understanding, it will become accidental. If they are very magnanimous, things will happen well for you; if not, the relationship will break up.
All I am asking is: do you want to be the one who decides what happens to your life? Whether they are intimate relationships, professional, political, global or whatever, don’t you want to be the person who decides what happens in your life? If you do, you better include everything and everybody into your understanding. You should enhance your understanding to such a point that you can look beyond people’s madness also. There are very wonderful people around you, but once in a while they like to go crazy for a few minutes. If you don’t understand that, you will lose them. If you don’t understand their madness you will definitely lose them. If you do, then you know how to handle them. Life is not always a straight line; you have to do many things to keep it going. If you forsake your understanding, your capability will be lost. Whether it’s a question of personal relationships or professional management, in both places you need understanding; otherwise, you won’t have fruitful relationships.
The way you are right now, the very quality of your life is decided by the type of relationships you hold. You better make the needed effort to understand the people around you.
Questioner:
Today, we are seeing so many people going to psychologists for treatment. It seems every single person has a shrink that he sees at least once a week. Why are we becoming so troubled? Are we all going crazier by the day, Sadhguru?
Sadhguru:
Today, ninety percent of the people are in different states of mental sickness. It’s just that the level of sickness is sometimes manageable, sometimes unmanageable. Let’s say you have asthma. Sometimes your asthma is manageable, so you do not consider yourself as sick. You take some syrup or some tablet and you manage. On a particular day, you become really sick and you either totally collapse or are hospitalized. Only then you consider yourself as sick, isn’t it? That does not mean the other days you were not sick; you were sick, but it was manageable.
Similarly with the mental states, almost everybody is sick. It’s just that they are in some manageable level of sickness. Once in a while, they flare up for some time and then they settle down again. They are managing, but the madness is very much there. Now all the psychologists and the psychiatrists have only studied sick people. People like Freud never found a meditator or a Buddha to study. He would have studied only those people who are in different states of mental sickness; either manageably mad or unmanageably mad, whichever way. They only studied mad people, and the one who is studying is also mad. He is equally mad. It’s not that he has transcended his limitations.
On a certain day, it happened like this. Three psychiatrists were traveling together on a train from Germany to France, to attend the annual all-psychiatrists seminar. Sitting there, they started confiding to each other their greatest secrets. The first one said, “My greatest weakness is compulsive gambling. Every weekend, I take off from the clinic and let myself go full blast. Of course, I put all the money that I earn from my gambling spree into some charity box, and mind you, I don’t start stealing from another charity box until I go drinking. Then I get sodden drunk and finish the night in the gutter.” The second psychiatrist nodded his head in understanding and said, “Well, my greatest secret is that I am so dependant on taking anti-depressants all the time, and I have to gulp down an extra double dosage before I sit in consultation with my patients.” The third one sat there very smugly and quietly. So the other two prodded her, “What about you? We’ve told you our deepest secrets. Now you have to tell us yours.” The third psychiatrist said, “Well, I’m a diagnosed gossiper, and I can’t wait to get off this train!”
Whatever problem you have – anxiety, fear, psychosis or anything – according to that, they put you into the corresponding category and they have a treatment for that; and what kind of treatment it is! Somehow adjusting the whole situation and making you manageably mad, not making you sane. Nobody can make you sane, please know this. From unmanageable madness, they can bring you down to manageable madness. Everybody has learned the trick to manage the madness. Now this process of spirituality is not about moving into manageable madness. It’s about going so mad that you become sane. Okay? You cross the limits of madness, then you become perfectly sane. See, you’re born with the madness; the karma itself is madness. The very bondages that you have created for yourself, the limitations that you have created for yourself, are they not madness?
If there is a mad man who thinks he’s tied to this column – there is no rope, there is no chain, but he thinks he’s tied to the column – he will only go around this, round and round. Whatever you tell him, he will not listen, because he feels he is tied to the column. Isn’t this the way everybody is living, tied to some column? So it’s the same madness. Being manageably mad or unmanageably mad really makes no difference. At least, if you become unmanageably mad, you can enjoy yourself in the asylum. You don’t have to be ashamed of being mad anymore! You can just freak out the way you want to. You don’t have to bother about controlling it. It’s such a big strain to control that madness. Do you know why a person growing on the spiritual path looks totally crazy? It is because he is pushing himself to the point beyond madness, where it cannot touch him any more.
These meditations at Isha are not about you becoming peaceful. They are about blasting yourself into bits until there is no peace and no disturbance within you; only that can be called as peace. If you get disturbed and then make yourself peaceful, that’s not peace; it’s just a lull. This peace is like the eye of the hurricane where everything is calm. The hurricane is blowing like mad and in between, suddenly there is total calm. Do not be fooled by this calm, it’s just a small respite. The next gust will come again and it will be even worse than before. Hurricanes always move like this; because of the centrifugal and centripetal forces and the forward motion, the front end of the hurricane is less forceful than the rear end. So what you see first is nothing compared to what’s going to come. That will be much bigger. The same goes with your mind.
Everything in existence is like that. Whatever blows with force is like that. It will blow, then give a little space and then again blow. The mind is also like that; it goes through a phase of disturbance then it comes back to peace. Don’t ever think it is peace; it’s just a break in the madness. Even mad people are perfectly sane in some moments in their life. Don’t think they are twenty-four hours mad. Sometimes they are very sane and perfectly okay, and sometimes they just go off; they are more spontaneous than you. See, the man who has lost his so-called mental balance is a lot more spontaneous than you, isn’t he? But you are also doing what he is doing.
