That is their problem! If you are satisfied -- finished. Let them remain dissatisfied, and let them come and take sannyas and ask for solutions (laughter).
Do your job the best you can do, and don't expect any appreciation. Appreciation is result-oriented. And the person who is hankering for appreciation can never never do good work; never -- because he is half-hearted. He is looking to the result and what others will think. He is not totally in the work.
Be total in your work. The prize is in it; the award is intrinsic. You enjoy -- that is your award. If they enjoy, that is their award. If they don't enjoy, that is their misery. So let them be miserable. Don't be worried about it -- just do your work as best you can.
Nobody is worried because of anybody else. You are not worried because of them; they are not worried because of you. You are worried because of you, and they are worried because of them (laughter). It is that simple. Just enjoy and see. Next time you come you will be totally different!
[A sannyasin said that though he felt a lot more open since doing groups here, he hadn't solved any of the problems he started with.]
In fact no problem is ever solved -- you grow out of them. This has to be very very deeply understood. Trying to solve problems is almost futile, because no problem is ever solved. Problems exist because of a particular consciousness. When the consciousness changes, they drop.
For example, in the morning a small child cries and weeps because in a dream he had a beautiful toy, and now he has lost it. So in the morning he cries for his toy. How can you solve it? You cannot make him understand that it was a dream, because at that time dream and reality are not separate departments; they are not water-tight compartments. The child moves between these two worlds so easily. He floats from dream to reality, from reality to dream. He does not know what is what.
But one day he grows, and he comes to understand that it is a dream. The problem is not solved yet -- but now the problem is no more. He has come to understand it is a dream, and that the problem doesn't exist. Do you follow
