good... because whenever people desire something and it is immediately fulfilled, they will start feeling that something is missing. Whatsoever you have been fantasising was filling you, and because it was not fulfilled there was hope. Now you will be feeling hopeless. You will see that you have what you wanted, and still nothing has happened.
But this is a good point. Let it sink in as deeply as possible so that you never fantasise again. Be in it, and don't be in a hurry, otherwise something will remain and it will sprout again. Be finished with this fantasy. Do whatsoever you want to do, go in all directions. You will fool yourself, but that has to be done, mm? because there is no other way. So be finished, be really tired of all the nonsense, and only out of that experience, maturity arises.
By and by you will feel more and more frustrated, hopeless. All your dreams will be realised, and still nothing will happen. If even a little hope remains, again you will become a victim. So I will give you a little rope more!

Vipassana goes very deep, but it is one-sided. One becomes more and more introvert. With one's eyes closed so much, one forgets the world. That is half the journey. It is good as far as it goes, but one should come back to the marketplace. One should be able to dance and still be silent. One should be able to be in the world and still not be of it. My whole effort is to make you completely balanced. Doing
