if there is going to be no other moment. So live it totally. There is no point in postponing it because there is going to be no other moment. Live every day as the last day. And when you go to sleep at night, thank God for the day. Don't wait for the morning, because nobody knows -- the morning may not be there.
If you can live each moment as the last, you live it totally -- because there is no space to postpone. If this remains in the consciousness, it becomes a constant pointing to the present. Nothing else is needed -- everything is going so well. Good !
[Another group member says: I found on the third day that I am too much outside myself. I feel to keep silent is better -- and I feel good.]
Continue... but don't make it a strain, mm? If something is needed, you can speak, but on the whole, remain more and more quiet. Don't speak unnecessarily. Rarely is there anything that is necessary to be said. So just telegraphically, mm? ten words a day (laughter). That will do.
And you look good... more settled. Do a few other groups also. Groups are good... they give you a few insights, and then you can use those insights in your daily life.
So whatsoever you have learned, use it, mm? Don't forget -- otherwise one again closes into the old pattern. Keep silence... and I will also give you a meditation to do every night.
In the night, put the light off, sit on your bed, and close your eyes. Just imagine yourself in a forest, mm?... big green trees... wild. Imagine that you are standing there, then start moving... Let things happen, don't force. Don't say 'I would like to go near that tree' -- no, just allow yourself to move. Walking in the forest for five to seven minutes, you will come near a cave.
Feel everything in detail -- the earth underneath... touch the stone walls of the cave with your hand... feel the texture, the coolness. Near the cave there is a waterfall. You will find it. A small waterfall... and the sound of water falling. Listen to it, and to the silence of the forest and of the birds, mm? Allow yourself the whole experience. Then sit down in the cave and start meditating. It is meditation within meditation.
