thing after another -- so fast that there would be no interval and you couldn't think. That's why you are feeling great. (a chuckle) Feel great -- and don't try to analyse it
Good, it has been good!
[A group member said he had a wonderful and exhilarating feeling during the group]
You look as if it has been very good. You still carry the climate of it. I received your letter... very good.
Much more is possible now. And always remember, the journey starts but it never ends. Deeper and deeper satoris will be happening. And never think that this is the end, because deeper is always possible if you are waiting for it. Only that happens for which you wait. If you are not waiting for it then it will not happen, because you are not looking for it. And this is the point to be understood at this moment: don't desire, but wait. If you desire it will not happen, because the desiring mind is so excited, so tense, and so intrigued, it is already in the future.
So don't desire -- just wait as if something is going to happen. You don't know what it is -- nobody knows. It has been a misfortune that people have given names to it -- God, Enlightenment, Nirvana, Satori -- it has been a misfortune. Simply wait with no idea and doors beyond doors open.
This has been very good.
[The group member adds: ... the feeling of being alone was such a delicious one I felt that I almost wanted to accentuate it -- like going away for a short time to be alone. But I think I would rather stay here.]
No, you wait. Right now to go away won't be helpful. There are right moments to be alone. Otherwise one can fall back into the old habits of the mind. Rather, you start feeling alone here and now. Even with so many people around you, start feeling alone.
Aloneness has nothing to do with crowd or no crowd; it is a quality. You can be alone in the crowd, and you can be in the crowd when you are alone. So it has nothing to do with loneliness. Aloneness is just an attitude.
So first try to be alone here. If you succeed in it -- and you will succeed, there is no problem about it -- then you can go in a retreat for a few days. If you can
