state -- this silence, this state of slow movement that looks like sadness to you.
We don't see facts; we always compare. That's why we miss many things. For one week simply look at it as it is. Don't compare and don't call it names. Don't call it low energy and don't call it sadness. Why bother about labelling it? Whatsoever it is, let it be so. Simply watch it.
We are too addicted to words. If a stone is lying there and somebody says, 'A diamond!' immediately you become interested. The stone was lying there before he had ever said anything, but then it was not a diamond because nobody had said so.
Now somebody suddenly says. 'A diamond!' and the word rings many bells in your heart. Immediately, the stone -- maybe it was not a diamond -- has a value. The word has put the value on it.
This is one of the most basic things for a seeker to understand: not to allow words to distort vision. Otherwise the perception is contaminated, the clarity is lost and your consciousness becomes polluted. Don't allow words. Simply enjoy whatsoever is happening.
You look so silent, but still in your silence I can see that deep down you think it is sadness. Your face does not show silence but sadness. I can see it. Inside, deep down in your heart it is a silence, but on your face it becomes a sadness. Between these two -- the heart and the face -- somewhere the mind interprets it. You look sad. You should look silent but you are interpreting it.
If you are feeling sad, then enjoy that sadness. What can be done? It is there so why not enjoy it? Sing a sad song or dance a sad dance. If you feel that it is low energy, let it be low energy. Lie down and look at the stars... rest, don't move. Breathe slowly, move slowly.
Don't try to change anything in any way for seven days, and then tell me after that. In these seven days, no interpretation, no commentary, no judgement, no comparison whatsoever. Be as if you are moving into a world where you don't know anything so you cannot label anything. Everything is strange, so you have simply to note that something has happened.
After seven days I will ask about the description, not about your
