Somebody says 'Come here'. You go, because you don't have anywhere else to go -- so what to do? Let us try this.
Between these two one has to come to a tranquil balance. And that's what I mean when I say put the idea in the mind, relaxedly, with deep respect -- and allow it to grow on its own.
[A sannyasin who is returning to Italy to run a macrobiotic restaurant, said, through an interpreter, that he had found it difficult to meditate while he was here, and felt that perhaps that was because he had been unable to maintain his usual macrobiotic diet.
Osho replied that this could be the reason, because once you have become accustomed to a certain diet, any other food could become a disturbance. He added that he was thinking to have soon a small restaurant here in the ashram for people who prefer macrobiotic foods.]
[An elderly sannyasin said that when she had been ill recently with an infection, she had had a very clear vision, on two occasions, of a painted human eye. She asked what the significance of this might be.]
It is your own third eye, so you cannot recognise it. It always comes that way because you cannot see it directly. It can be helpful.
You can start bringing it by and by. Sometimes when you need it, you can just imagine it. You will become more capable of bringing it more easily. Then it will become more and more real; it will actually become alive. You will have to give more imagination to it. It has been good.
[Another sannyasin says: My meditations have been going well, and sometimes I go astral travelling.]
Mm, very good! Go! Have I given you a box? (he hands her one) You need it now!
[A sannyasin said that whenever he did work, he felt consciously or unconsciously rejected by his superiors, and that he was not appreciated.]
So don't expect! You must be expecting too much. The problem is always with you; it is never with anybody else. You must be expecting too much appreciation.
... Otherwise there is no question. You have done your job -- you liked it, you enjoyed it. Why be bothered by attitudes?
[The sannyasin answers: But they are not satisfied with the work.]
