we will make a group for you. But invent something; no need to repeat the old.
[The sannyasin says he would like to take it easy, but needs something to do, otherwise he goes nuts.]
You are nuts! You don't go nuts! So that's good -- you can do any kind of work I find, otherwise you can do your group.
But in doing your group be more playful and more inventive, more imaginative. Don't think of efficiency too much -- that is a barrier, because if you think too much of efficiency then you have to repeat the old. About that you are perfectly clear, certain; you know the result and you know you will be more helpful. So it is better to do that -- but then you are in a rut.
The new thing may not be so good, may not be so successful, may not help people so much, but my vision is always that even if the new fails, it succeeds more than the rut -- even if the old rut succeeds. To fail with the new is far better than to succeed with the old, because even in that failure there is life.
And when you are feeling in a rut the group will not have real life because the life comes from the leader. He vibrates it: he is at the centre and ripples arise out of him. If he himself is not vibrating with joy and he is simply doing something because he knows how to do it and he knows what is going to happen and he is following a programme, then there will be no vibe. People will be benefited but the real thing will be missing. There will be no radical change in people. It will be okay -- exactly as you said -- and okay is not good enough. When you are alive and imaginative and playful, then something is possible; something radical is possible. You will be surprised by it when it happens and others will be surprised. Unless the leader is in a situation that he can be surprised by his own act, the group is dead. So make it a point that you have to be surprised by yourself and not know what is going to happen next. Something is bound to happen! When so many people are there, throbbing with energy, something is bound to happen. Don't follow a rut. You can do the group that you have suggested, but then be playful. Try that, then we will see.
Don't Just
