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. People who live through emptiness, they also have to live through structures because to live means to have a structure.
But just look. You have a cement concrete house... you can also have a tent. Both are houses in a way, but the tent belongs to the vagabond, who is fluid. Today he is here, tomorrow he is gone somewhere else, and he can take his tent with him, within minutes. But you cannot take a concrete structure with you that way. Sometimes the vagabond will fix his tent by the side of the river... sometimes on a hillock... sometimes in a desert. The tent does not resist. It has no prejudices, no likings and dislikings. Wherever you nail it, it is ready. Within minutes it is ready for you to sleep in. But you are not in a bondage.
So you can have two types of structures in you. You can have a cement concrete structure. That is what is meant by a square person. 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 shoulders. The house moves with him... he is totally free.
So first the structure, the old structure, the square structure, has to be de-structured. Then a new structure has to be built -- more flexible, more suitable for you -- which gives you freedom, which allows you
