even with meditation if you are on hash too much.
All religions have been against drugs for a certain reason. The antagonism is not because drugs as such are dangerous. No. The antagonism is because drugs are substitute meditations. They give you a false idea of meditativeness, of visionary experiences -- but those are just dreams. The real thing you can find through meditation, so why be bothered by drugs?
I am here to give you the ultimate in drugs, so why be bothered about hash? Drop it!
It will take a little time, and it may be a little difficult -- because habits struggle hard. But to fight with habits is beautiful in itself. The more you fight with dead habits, the more alive you will become. And the more you win over your habits, the more you will see that you are becoming truer and truer.
So hash has to be dropped first. Then we will think about cigarettes and smoking; that too is useless, mm? Just try....
[A sannyasin said her relationship was going much better since she and her man had decided to have no secrets between them.... ]
It's very good never to keep any secrets. If you love a person, open your heart completely, because even if you keep a small secret, that remains like a barrier. It may not be visible, but underneath it separates you.
All secrets are like walls. If you drop all secrets, suddenly you are unburdened and the other comes closer and closer. Love should not have any secrets. The intimacy is so much that the secret cannot be allowed to stand between two persons. So that's very good.... Just open. What is the fear? If you love the person, what is the fear?
Because we don't love, we go on keeping our secrets. We are afraid that if we tell everything, the other may not like us, may not love us; may go far away. But if it is going to happen, it is going to happen. By keeping your secret you are not going to change it. In fact he may go sooner because you will remain closed. If you have a secret you cannot allow the other person to the innermost core of your being.
So just drop all secrets. That's the beauty of love... that all secrets can be dropped, all privacy can be dropped.
