than forcing the energy to follow you. You are secondary, the energy is primary. The energy is bigger than you; you are just the tiny mind. The energy has existed eternally; this tiny mind has come just now. It may go off again and the energy will Continue. You have attained to many minds in your past, as everybody has. Those minds are being used and then dropped, and the energy goes on.
It is like a wave, a great wave moving, and the mind is just like a small straw. The mind is very tiny, but our whole effort in life is to make the wave move with the tiny straw. We want the dog to wag with the tail. The tail wags with the dog -- vice versa is not possible.
So simply listen to what the energy says: if it is going out then that is right, if it is opening then that is right. That is what is needed, that is what should be. Go with it, and go with it whole-heartedly.
If you start shrinking and you start thinking about how to go in, you will create a division in the energy -- a part will have started moving against the whole. Then there will be conflict, friction, tension anxiety. Simply go with it.
One day suddenly you will see that when the opening has come to its perfection, the energy starts moving inwards on its own accord -- not that you move it in. It is just as when you exhale deeply: you throw all the air out, then the next step, to inhale, is going to be automatic. What can you do?
When you have really exhaled, the whole of the air has been thrown out, the necessity is created to inhale; now your whole body will be hungry and thirsty for air. You need not inhale -- you can simply wait and watch and you will see: the body has started inhaling. With a great rush the air goes into your being.
The same happens in the energy: you go to the outermost periphery, go on opening, then one day you come to the last point from where there is no going ahead. Then the tide turns in, the same energy starts moving homewards.
So simply go with it. Don't create any anxieties and don't create any problem, mm?
... When you come next time I have the feeling your energy will start moving. But don't force: simply go on as it
