It is not a question of whether you have chosen rightly or wrongly.
Remember, always choose the new against the old and you will still be growing. In being with the old, although it may be right, one remains stuck. In being with the new, even if it is wrong, one grows. What to say about when you can choose the new and the right? Then you grow in leaps and bounds. Then your life becomes a great adventure, a great ecstasy.
Let sannyas be the first step in that direction -- always choosing the new against the old, always choosing the unknown against the known, always moveing into new pastures even at the risk of losing your life. Because only those who are ready to risk their life are able to attain to abundant life, to eternal life.
A meditator's eye is needed to see bliss.
These two eyes which you have won't help much; a third eye is needed. These two eyes go outwards. They don't know how to look in; they are not meant for that.
The meditator starts growing a third eye. Just between these two eyes, exactly in the middle, there is a subtle center which starts functioning as an eye: it starts looking in.
To look outside two sides are needed because the outside consists of duality; to look in only one eye is needed because the inside consists of the non-dual.
From the very beginning your meditation has to be on the third eye. With closed eyes look in and try to remember that just exactly in the middle of both eyes -- the spot I just touched -- there is a hiddeen center; it is the sixth chakra of the yoga psichology. Once it starts functioning and moving you become capable of seeing within. Sitting silently, look at the third eye center; as you pour your energy towards it, it will start moving. In the beginning you may feel a little strange because something mew is happening which has never happened in your body; but soon it settles, and once it settles great calmness descends.
It is possible for you. Just a little effort and the wheel will start moving, just a little effort and much will be the benefit. The benefit is going to be so much that the little effort is nothing compared to it. So let that be your concentration
