and they will remain. Again and again the fear and the desire will come, and you will be caught in a vicious circle. So if you feel attracted towards something, do it, and do it without any guilt.
I don't teach any guilt. I am here to give you absolute freedom -- not less than that, nothing less than that. If there is still some attraction it means that there is still some significance clinging somewhere in the unconscious. Be finished with it! And there is no way to be finished with it other than to experience it. You will see that it was futile. Going into it you will see that there is nothing to it. It was just an old habit . . . the old situation, the old association.
But be finished with it. Go into it fully alert, conscious, with no guilt, no fear. Why be afraid? You will see that many things that you think will attract you are not going to attract you. A few things will, because it takes time when your life changes. -
The more you repress, the more meaningful things become. When something is denied, it gathers energy. Say no to something, and it immediately becomes rebellious. Say no to yourself and there is resistance and a fight starts. So never say no to anything. Be a yea-sayer.
There is nothing in life to be afraid of. All are God-given opportunities. I don't say to drop anything. I say let things drop. I don't say try not to be drowned. Dive deep. Nobody can drown you... I am coming with you.

(a chuckle) No need to die. And nobody ever dies -- people just change their bodies. But that is not needed right now. Go more in.
Rather than going out, travel inwards. Close your eyes more, and become more silent and more settled. Rather than activity, feel more inactive, passive... relaxed. Emphasize being rather than doing.
Things are going well, and whenever something is needed to be done, I will tell you.
[The sannyasin adds: I love you, but whenever you put a situation on me, I just don't want to do it.]
So you go on resisting. Let us see who wins (laughter). You go on giving all the resistance you can, and I will go on pushing. We
