challenge to human awakening. Hence I say, for the first time in history, the time is right for a great Buddhafield.
I would like thousands of sannyasins to be together here, to create a great energy-field, almost a magnetic force which can become the future, the hope, the destiny of the whole of humanity. So when you can participate in something of such enormous proportions, why be bothered about small things? Just finish things, come. Become part of me and my work.
[A sannyasin returning to the West says she does not like active meditations but has had moments of meditation doing kundalini.]
... Continue Kundalini. And whenever you feel like coming back, come.
My feeling is that you have great ideals of perfectionism in your mind. You will always feel discontent because you will always be comparing: you have some idea of how things should be and they are not, you are falling short.
[She says: Yes, but she likes the idea of risk.]
That's very good, but that is a totally different thing. Risking is not an ideal. Because of ideals you can never take a risk. Ideals are against risking. Risking means going into the unknown, and having an ideal means you have already a fixed idea of the unknown, of how it should be. You don't allow the unknown to reveal itself to you. You have certain fixed ideas, and you continuously compare yourself with those ideas; that's a sure way to remain miserable.
You have to drop those ideas and live life as it comes. Don't ask too much out of it and it will give you more than you can ever ask. It is a great giver but if you demand it becomes closed. So right now if you are feeling like going you can go; whenever you feel like coming, come back again.
[She says: The ashram is not the inside.]
So let it be so! That's again a should. Don't worry about it; why should it be in? Whatsoever is the case is good. Let the ashram be outside you and you be outside the ashram; there is no problem. Why create the problem? There is again the idea that it should be like that. It's perfectly good: if you are not feeling a part, there is no need to be. Just start accepting the facts as they are.
