conscious and doing it without any repentance, without any strain just leave when you will remember it. And how much time you remember it, doesn't matter. Even for some seconds or some minutes, if you remember it, that is enough. By and by the stretch will become longer, by and by you will remember more, by and by the gaps between two remembrances will be lesser. And in a certain period -- it depends how you do it -- in a certain period, you will remember it constantly. But don't long for it. Just be thankful, if you remember only for few seconds, just be thankful. That is enough. Enough for today. Again tomorrow the stretch will become longer, gap will be shorter and the intensity will go deeper and in a certain period, you will remember it without any strain. It will go on simultaneously with your all work, with your all activities. You will be doing everything outside, and there will be the remembrance within. You will be aware. That awareness will continue.
That continuity comes by itself if you just go on doing it. But never repent for it. That it was not as much longer as I longed for. There is no question of longing. As much as it comes, be thankful for it. It is enough.
This will do, this will create that effortless effort. Effortless effort. Whenever you remember, for a single moment, be aware and let it go. Don't cling to it. Don't forcibly do it. Force cannot be helpful. It should be spontaneous without any effort, without any strain. Even for a single moment, if it comes in a day, even for a single moment, it will become a seed within you and the seed will go on growing and growing and growing. And someday you will find that the remembrance has become part and parcel of your conscious mind. Then in the longer run, even in the night when you are asleep, sometimes, some moment will come that you will remember even in the sleep and you will become aware. Then the continuity will penetrate in the sleep and then a circle will be created. But that requires time and patience and a loving gratefulness. Don't be repentful for those moments when you were not aware, but be grateful for those moments when you were aware. Emphasize those living moments
