natural -- it is so long a habit; for many lives we have lived in that habit.
So it is natural. Don't repent, don't feel miserable and don't feel guilty. If you can remember even for a few seconds in twenty-four hours, that will do -- because truth is so potential, so powerful, that a small drop of truth is enough to destroy your whole world of untruth. Just one ray of light is enough to destroy the darkness of thousands of years.
So it is not a question of quantity, remember. It is not a question of you remembering for twenty-four hours -- how can you remember? I never ask anything that is impossible, I ask only the very very possible. By and by, I push you and push you and one day you suddenly see that the impossible has become the possible.
So just whenever you can remember.... Holding the hand of a friend, remember -- and see the transformation, the metanoia. Suddenly you are different, the person is different and the whole relationship changes in that moment.
For an outsider it is still the same -- you holding the hand of the same person, nothing has changed -- but for you everything has changed. And if the other person is also a little alert he will see and feel the change, that some different energy of a different wavelength has started flowing from you, that you are broadcasting something new which was not there a moment before.

It is good to be in many things -- that gives a liquidity. A person who has been in one thing, and only one thing, becomes very fixed and change becomes difficult. It is very good that people go on changing from this to that job; that keeps them fluid.
In a better world everything will be more mobile than it is, and persons should be changing continuously so that nothing becomes a fixation -- a fixation is a disease.
Each new job, each new work, brings a new quality to your being -- it makes you richer. So it is good... and to be a cook is really good, better than to be a professor!
