keep it inside. Sometimes by your movement, body movement, gesture, by your eyes... sometimes by keeping silent and sometimes by saying something -- there are a thousand and one ways; one has to be watchful.
And I am not saying -- I never demand anything impossible -- that you will be able to drop all your noes, but ninety-nine percent you will be able to drop, and that's not a small amount. Ninety-nine percent of noes are just old habit: we go on saying no because we have become habituated to it.
One percent will remain. That one percent will not go right now, but that one percent will be beautiful and that will help; that will not be dangerous. It will be only about very essential things... and it is needed; that one percent is a must. That too goes one day: when you disappear utterly, then that too goes. That one percent will be there to define you, to define your ego -- otherwise if you really say yes, one hundred percent, then you disappear. Then you don't have any definition; who are you then ?
So I am not saying that you can disappear right now, but this will be the beginning. And ninety-nine percent is futile, destructive, and destructive to you -- not to anybody else. The same opportunity can become such a flowing experience if you say yes. And sometimes the same opportunity, just by saying no, becomes very destructive....
You are in a crowd and it is noisy. Now, you can go on saying 'Why did I come here? -- this noisy crowd and these people are driving me crazy.' You are saying no and your no is driving you crazy! Otherwise the crowd is beautiful and the noise is beautiful and it has its own music. If you can relax a little bit and watch it, there is no need to go to any movie. All kinds of actors are there, and all kinds of roles are being played... and free of charge! Once you change your vision, focus, then the same crowd is beautiful, and you start learning from it. When you are not saying no, there is no heaviness.
A child is playing, you are studying a book and he is disturbing -- shouting or doing something. Now, you can say no -- and you will be disturbed in your reading because you are saying no, not because
