work -- what else can you do? If you are feeling hot, you go to a swimming pool, you float on the water -- what else can you do? When you are feeling tired, you rest. You create a situation in which you move to the opposite.
In this camp, function as a drunkard -- dance to oblivion. It is not something that you can control. One day suddenly you will see that the crust has broken -- and you were not doing anything to break it. You were simply dancing or moving, enjoying, delighting, and suddenly something has broken inside. You will hear it breaking, and immediately you will see a transfiguration. You have entered another world... you can feel. Delight in my presence, and let me do something. Now you are a sannyasin, it is my responsibility; you can rest, mm?
[A sannyasin has brought his mother to meet Osho, and says: It's been very difficult.... Just wanting her to see what's here... to really see what's here. Many buttons are pushed.]
No, don't make any effort. That sort of effort is not of help -- it hinders. Once a person starts feeling that somebody is trying to convert, he becomes resistant, becomes defensive. It is natural.
And I can understand you too -- you love her, so you would like her to see what is happening here. So your standpoint is natural too, but try to understand her standpoint. If you try too much, that very effort will become a barrier. Just leave her. Help her, serve her, and just leave her absolutely free. If she wants to see something, she will see. If she wants, help her, otherwise don't enforce in any way.
Nobody likes a missionary -- nobody! People hate missionaries. And that's natural -- they should hate -- because missionaries have done such harm to humanity.
But it happens naturally that when you have seen something, you have felt something, you would like to share it with all those you love. But be a little wiser -- that is not the way.
Let her see for herself. If she feels something has happened in you, it will be a natural, spontaneous thing for her to enter into things. And it is more difficult when the relationship is that of a mother and a son, father and a son; it is more difficult.
