that you have to be chaotic -- that everybody goes on his own, and the whole thing becomes just a chaos. Everybody feels where the whole thing is moving... moves, but very indirectly -- as a shadow moves. You start playing, and by and by you start feeling where it is moving, and rather than you forcing it to go somewhere, you feel it is taking you... you have given your hands to it.
[Osho went on to describe the phenomenon of automatic handwriting, and how one allows oneself to become as if possessed. The writing may not be comprehensible, just doodles, but it has a different quality -- the unconscious is doing it.]
The conscious has become too dictatorial. So put it-aside and let the greater mind behind it take possession -- it will surprise you.
And it is not that all that you know will be of no use, but your playing will not be dominated by the technique. You cannot drop what you know -- it will be there -- but it will be used by the spontaneous feeling. If somebody who does not know how to play an instrument plays it spontaneously, it is going to be different from one who knows. Both will be spontaneous, but the one who knows, his knowledge, his training, his experience, will be used by the unconscious, and it will have a beauty of its own. One who does not know will be simply making a noise... it cannot be music.
So don't plan, don't make a theme. Use all the knowledge that you have, but don't use it directly. Simply move by the feeling and then everything follows.

Arihanto means one who has attained, and anand means bliss -- one who has attained bliss. and I give you this name for a particular reason.
Start living from this moment as if you are blissful. don't try to achieve it -- rather feel that it is achieved, and now you have just to live it. Once you know that you have to live it, suddenly it starts flowing, mm?
Bliss is something which we bring with our birth. We have forgotten
