things will happen; then that connection is gone. Again, you feel that you are not connected to me.
Now this time it will happen on a deeper level, and it will take a longer time to happen, but when it happens you will feel thrilled because then you will see that the first was nothing. But this will happen many times -- nearabout seven times. Again the second layer will be destroyed, because that is the only way to reach to the third; again you will feel lost.
There are many people who unfortunately escape. When the first layer connection is broken they think that the connection is broken; now there is nothing to do -- they escape. This has to be consciously understood: it will happen at least seven times.
When all the layers are gone and you have penetrated to your being, to your very core, you are connected to me forever; then there is no problem. Then 'I' and 'you' are not two: 'I' is 'thou' and 'thou' is 'I'. Then there is no problem. We are one.
At that point, the whole existence is one. But before that point many times you will be joined, many times you will be disconnected. It is a constant shunting.
Nothing to be worried about.
[The sannyasin then says he was a therapist leading groups in the West. He would like to lead groups at the ashram, but is not sure if it is just an ego-trip.
Osho checks his energy.]
Everything is going perfectly well, and you can become a good therapist... but don't make it a trip, don't make it an ego-game. Slowly grow into it. If you try to play it as an ego-game you will be very very disturbed by it; it will be a tension on your head. Just let it grow as a hobby, slowly, by the side, unconcerned, as if it is just a play.
And wait.... My feeling is that first you should start in the West. Here it will be difficult for you to start. First start in the West; there it will be easier. Next time you come I will give you some groups to do here, but first start in the West.
Here you will find it difficult because the people who are doing groups have done so many. Here everybody is almost a therapist! So it will be difficult for you: it will make you very self-conscious.
