citadel in your being that is not available to anybody else. It is available only to you when you need it, and it makes you tremendously powerful.
My methods are totally different. I am not trying to make you powerful. I am trying to make you peaceful. The energy is not to be concentrated; rather, it is to be dispersed, it has to be flowing. You are not going to fight -- you are going to surrender. It is a let-go.
So I can use Tai Chi and other methods, first to concentrate the energy, then to explode it. But explosion remains the aim. First you collect it and then you let it go -- but let-go remains the aim.
My effort is not to make you a warrior. Life should not be looked upon as a conflict. that's where the Japanese missed the whole thing, and that's how they became participants with Hitler... the power-instinct. I am against any power-oriented methods. Use them just so that you can collect energy and then have the feel of explosion, of let-go. Have it, but only so you can lose it, because if you don't have it you can't lose it beautifully. A man who has no concentrated energy finds it very difficult to surrender -- from where to surrender?
He has no centre, he does not know where he is. If you ask him, sometimes he says in the head, sometimes he says in the heart, and by the time he has said in the heart, he is in the stomach. He is confused. Unless you know who you are, where you are, it is difficult to surrender.
So Tai Chi is good. I am going to use it. Aikido, Karate is good -- but not as ends; they are means. Once you have the energy, then let it flower, let it move to the winds, released, shared, mm?

Veera means courageous, prem means love -- courageous in love. And that is the only courage there is... all else is cowardice.
So be more loving, and love completely unconditionally, mm? That is going to be your flowering of being.
