you simply vegetate.
A few people vegetate efficiently, a few people non-efficiently, a few people comfortably, a few people uncomfortably, but in the end it is all the same. Whether you had beautiful dreams in the night or nightmares makes not much difference when in the morning you find that it was all dream.
This is a growth problem, and now you will have to commit yourself to some path. Up to now, you have been dabbling in this and that. Good -- in the beginning it is very good; one has to grope -- but now don't continue that. Now choose a path. At least for three years be committed to a path so totally that whatsoever can happen on that path, happens. If nothing happens on that path after three years, move, choose some other path.
But at this moment a deep involvement will be needed, otherwise you will wither away. Don't do many things any more. In the beginning it is good. One goes shopping and looks in this shop and that, and is attracted by this window display and that, one looks at many things, but then finally one decides; then one chooses.
If you choose, immediately many things will start happening. And I am not saying choose this or that, but choose. It is a risk because one chooses in deep ignorance, and there is no other way to choose. Maybe it is right, maybe it is not right. It remains 'perhaps'. That's the risk, but one has to still choose.
Choose some path and be devoted to it totally -- because energy should not be dissipated. As I see, you have been doing many things, so you have gone to the south a little, to the north a little, to the east, to the west, and you have been going in all the directions together. It is good in the beginning -- one has to feel -- but now choose.
If you want to grow, then you can grow only on one path. And all paths are true. When I say choose, I don't mean that others are wrong. All paths are true. In fact, every path ultimately leads to god because ultimately only he is. Even people who go astray cannot go astray. Even going astray leads them to god one day -- because where can you go astray? There is nowhere where god is not.
So even a sinner is on the path of being
