is turned into a mechanical routine, and society needs, wants, efficient people -- not alive people. Mechanically perfect -- existentially dead.
So remember that. And whenever you feel that you are shifting towards thinking, always bring yourself back towards feeling. Even if everything is lost and feeling is saved, everything is saved. And if you lose feeling and everything is saved, nothing is saved, mm? So -- good that you came by feeling!
[A sannyasin asked if something could be done to help the discomfort he felt lately as his energy seemed to be moving very quickly and powerfully upwards through his throat 'like a ball of fire'. He said that sometimes the energy moved higher -- up to his shoulders -- and produced a sensation of much heat.
Osho gave him an 'energy darshan'. The sannyasin let out a series of screams which sounded as if they were just coming from the throat and were not being fully expressed. For a moment he sat silent, then gave out a bloodcurdling scream....
He said: I feel it is not finished.]
No, it will not finish so soon... it will take a little time. You just have to do a few things. Everything is good -- the energy just needs to be a little more flowing.
Do one thing. Each night before you go to bed, stand with both hands raised, legs spread apart. Loose, relaxed; not tight, mm? Then start feeling the energy coming up, and feel that you are joined with the earth. Imagine that you are a tree and your arms are the branches, and your legs, the roots. Branches in the sky spreading you towards the sun, and legs rooted in the earth. This is heaven/earth meeting. Forget yourself completely... just become a tree. Let the sky pull you up and the earth pull you down. Let them create a tension, and that will fix everything within a week. These things will disappear, and many beautiful things will happen. You will feel completely calm and quiet and centred.
So for seven days, do this, and then tell me. Do it for not more than twenty minutes. Even if it is beautiful, don't do it more than that, because then it will be difficult for you to get out of it. It becomes so beautiful that you forget time,
