[A sannyasin says: I'm very lazy and I'm not doing anything to be more aware. I'm unconscious a lot of the time... most of the day. I come to the discourses and there's something, but the rest of the time I'm not doing anything to be aware.]
There is no need to do anything -- just remain relaxed. Enjoy whatsoever you are doing. Eating -- enjoy eating. Walking -- enjoy walking. Sitting -- enjoy sitting. Listening -- enjoy listening. Just make every move a delight, and remain relaxed.
The very idea that you have to do something creates tension, anxiety, anguish. If you do it, you will become more tense. If you don't do it, you feel guilty. Both ways it creates trouble. Just drop the idea. Whatsoever is, is good.
If you can relax, things will happen on their own accord. You look relaxed. Much has changed. You have not done anything for it -- and it has changed. So trust! When so much can change, much more can change.
While you are here with me, if you can rest in me, if you can relax in me, things will happen on their own accord. On your part nothing is needed to be done. If only you can do one thing -- allow me to do -- things will happen. When you start doing on your own, you don't allow me to do. You take your responsibility on your own head -- and of course that creates a mess.
By becoming a sannyasin you have dropped all responsibility. And through being here close to me, that is the basic thing to be learned. My presence will do -- you simply rest in my presence.
So don't carry ideas that you have to do something; that you are this, that you are unconscious. Whatsoever you are, I accept you as you are, and I don't demand any change.
If you can relax.... And I want this community to be one of the most relaxed communities in the world. People are not really hankering for any growth, for any improvement -- spiritual or otherwise, material or spiritual. People are just here, enjoying. As trees are enjoying and stars are enjoying, people are also enjoying. Be absolutely ordinary.
