afraid and it starts fighting. Don't fight -- there is no need. Just accept it, and once you accept, the problem will disappear. And you will be able to relate to people, you will be able to act, do things, feel, but on a higher altitude than ever. This nothingness will give you a new vision.
If you fight with it, you will again fall back to the old pattern. These groups are to destructure you. Everybody is potentially infinite -- the structure makes one limited. I don't mean that you can live without a structure. You have a structure but it moves. It has no fixity about it, it isn't rigid.

Wherever you nail it, it is ready. Within minutes it is ready for you to sleep in. But you are not in a bondage.

He has a cement concrete structure -- orthodox, conventional, traditional. He lives in a stone cave. You cannot take it anywhere. You will have to live in it -- and there. In fact the cave does not serve you -- you you have to serve the cave, and you are not free to go anywhere; you are confined to the cave. But an owner of a tent is in a totally different dimension. He is not confined by the tent; he can take it anywhere.
In the eastern languages, particularly in the mid-eastern languages -- arabic, urdu, hindustani -- we have a word for a vagabond... very beautiful. The word is 'khanabdast'. It means 'one whose house is on his shoulders'. It is very beautiful -- one whose house is on his
