you doing ?' Then things start; tell them. Be a child again. If you cannot bow down to your own parents, where can you bow down?
You have a very very loving heart -- just a hard crust around yourself. Once that love starts flowing you will not know how to stop it... and there is no need to stop it either. And why should it stop with your parents? It should spread to everybody you come in contact with. And remember: if you cannot show love to one, you cannot show love to anybody else, because it is the same process. If you can show your love to your parents, you can show your love to your wife, your children, your friends -- it is the same process! If you cannot show it to your parents, you cannot show it to your children either.
We go on repeating the same pattern. Your children will not be able to love you and will not be able to love their children; that's how diseases go from one generation to another generation. Break it! This whole thing has to be stopped.
Be a child again and do things that you always wanted to do and have not done -- laugh, dance, sing before the parents. At the most they will think that you have gone crazy. So what? Your orange, your mala, will already prove that you have gone crazy.

[A sannyasin who is leaving says she loves her old mother and grown children and is reluctant to stay here a long time.]
Remember one thing always, that unless you follow your desire towards blissfulness, whatsoever you do will be wrong. If you stay there you will take revenge on those people, because it is for them that you are staying there. The revenge will be very unconscious, but you will never be able to forgive them, and that will be more harmful than your coming here.
Never sacrifice your bliss for anything, because if you sacrifice your bliss for anything, you are already in misery and you cannot forgive. The people who sacrifice become heavy on others, because they have sacrificed.
