were not feeling energetic, you had no energy to move in the ordinary way of the mind. That created the situation -- hence this experience came.
So whenever you feel low energy, repeat it. Just sit, and try to be alert, and it will appear again. Ten minutes is too long a period. If the figure remained there continuously, it has some message for you, it has something to reveal to you.
Just allow yourself to be led by the unconscious, wherever it leads. Don't be afraid. Whatever happens is going to be good and beneficial. Do it, and then tell me, mm?
[An indian visitor, Arup, who was here to do the camp, said that he felt concerned that perhaps he wasn't meditating rightly, because nothing seemed to be happening.
Osho told him not to expect results, and to do the meditations as exercises... ]
... the sheer exercise is beautiful. The body will feel good at least, and by and by it will penetrate into the mind.
We have to create a situation in which the thing you want to happen, can. It cannot happen just by wanting. The situation is needed -- and the meditation is going to create the situation. So choose any one meditation out of these five and do it for one month. And just for one month, don't expect anything -- as if one is doing for doing's sake.
This is my observation -- that many times we expect, and the very expectation functions as a barrier because it gives a tension.
It is just as if somebody says that swimming is beautiful and that it makes them feel beautiful. You are also in search of happiness. You say 'I'm coming'. And you go. At each stroke you are waiting for happiness. You swim, but you are not in the swimming. You are continuously thinking about happiness -- it has not come yet... it has not come yet.... And each moment you are giving a negative suggestion to yourself; you are hypnotising yourself about its not coming. It has not come yet so it is all hocus-pocus, useless nonsense -- and this man was saying that it is very beautiful. But you are swimming and there is no beauty; nothing is happening.
These repetitions in the mind go on creating a barrier. They won't allow anything to happen.
