it.
But if the training has been there, you have to consciously drop it, because it goes deep and it goes on functioning without you knowing. You will never be able to love a woman deeply, mm? That Christian will be standing there looking at you and saying,'What are you doing? Sinning again? You will be thrown into hell!'
And suddenly you shrink and the fear takes over -- and love disappears. Love is so delicate, and the fear is so strong -- it can destroy it.
So watch, and don't allow the Christian in your bed-chamber. Otherwise you will always find between you and your woman, the Christian standing. The whole church will be there, and it can destroy all happiness. Drop it! Never feel guilty. Always feel Fateful.
Happiness has to be enjoyed as much as possible. The happier you become, the closer you come to God. So I teach delight in life, and I teach a dancing god. And unless a god dances, he is no god at all.
So drop it consciously. You will have to struggle a little, mm? Because once the mind is wrongly conditioned, you will have to uncondition it -- but it can be unconditioned. Whatsoever can be conditioned, can be unconditioned.
[The sannyasin answers: I've worked on myself to drop it for many years now. There is a very beautiful magic child in me that loves to be in the present, that delights]
Mm mm, I can see it there. And it is growing, and it will go on growing. There is not much of a problem, but you just have to remain alert, mm?
The conditioning goes deep. It becomes almost part of you and you don't know it. When you look, it is there like a layer of ice. When you touch, it is there like a layer surrounding your hand and your skin. You touch a woman with love, but there is something that shrinks in, withdraws.
The whole world is such an affluence of celebration. It is an overflow of energy; so many flowers, so many birds singing, so many stars -- an infinity of stars, galaxies upon galaxies. The world is such a delight, the whole universe is such happiness and such a great harmony. Jump into it!
Become a star or become a flower, but don't be a Christian! Right? And the child is growing,
