prison are not in your hands. You are not there of your own will; you are forced to be there.
The same place becomes your home if the keys are delivered to you. Then you may not even want to go out. It may be too hot outside, too noisy, and you would like to relax inside. Just a moment before, you wanted to go out, and now the keys have been given to you and you are in no hurry.
The problem is not the prison. The problem is that the keys are not with you. Sadness becomes a prison if you cannot transform it. Once you know the knack of how to transform it, then it is for you to decide. If you want to enjoy it as sadness, you enjoy. If you want to change it, you change it.
And energy is neutral. The same energy can move into a different mould. Have you watched sometimes a small child laughing, madly laughing? -- and then suddenly he starts crying; the laughter becomes crying. The opposite is also possible -- the crying can become laughter.
In India, in villages, mothers say to their children, 'Don't laugh too much, otherwise you will cry.' It has much wisdom in it. If you come to the very end of laughter, what will you do? You start crying. If you cry to the very end, you will start laughing. It is a circle, and once you know it, you can relax.
So let this become a very great insight for you, and use it. Always play with your moods. Change the climate, and by and by one becomes the master.
Good. It has been good.
[A sannyasin says: I just wanted to come closer. Osho gives her energy darshan.]
Good! This is the way to come closer. Not by coming closer does one come closer to me, but by going into oneself. The more in you go, the more close you are to me -- wherever you are. Time and distance does not matter.
Whenever you want to be close to me, first have a picture of me, look at it for one minute, and then close your eyes and allow the movement -- whatsoever happens. This will happen again and again, and deeper and deeper you will go. If somebody is around, tell him to rub the third eye, or you can rub it yourself, mm?
[A sannyasin asks about shaving his head.]
Shaving of the hair won't help...
