impossible but the very idea that it is impossible makes it so because we become hopeless about it. We know from the very beginning that it is not going to happen so we don't put our total energy into it. When we know it is going to happen, when we know it is bound to happen, then the whole energy starts moving towards it. And with that confidence, with that trust, life starts taking a direction.
So growth is going to be very smooth for you. Remember it!
Veet means beyond, Vikalpo means alternatives -- beyond alternatives. The meaning is: don't choose, remain choiceless. The mind is a chooser -- it always chooses something against something else. It creates Opposition, it creates contradiction in life, it creates extremes, and through extremes there is constant war, inner war, a civil war.
Whenever you choose, you are choosing something in which you are not total, otherwise there would have been no question of choice. When you choose, that means one part of the mind wanted the other and one part wanted this; now the major part has won. All choices are a kind of parliamentary decision. But the minority which was not agreeing is there and it will take revenge, it will fight back. Whenever there is a possibility for it to become the majority, it will throw the old decision away and will move just to the opposite extreme. That's how people go on moving from one extreme to another. Today they eat too much, tomorrow they fast and diet, and the day after tomorrow they eat too much again. Choice always creates trouble.
There is a way to live life choicelessly -- just watching, not choosing. And through watching, whatsoever is right starts happening. Not that you choose it: it starts happening on its own accord. Something is going to happen. If you don't choose it is going to happen; if you don't choose then God will choose for you, the whole will choose for you. And that is the right choice -- when the whole chooses for you and you simply wait in a receptive mood, ready to go. But let the whole choose.
And in being with a master it becomes easier: you can always leave it to me. That brings great freedom, because then there is no need to
