a few days, in comparison with the past, these days will look good, then by and by when the past is forgotten these days look very very ordinary, lonely. Then you hanker for the other. You invite somebody to bring some coziness and warmth into your room. Again comes the man and naturally warmth, and you feel very good; you are again full and flowing. But again things are there and he is there with his ugly habits: he smokes and things like that. And the whole game starts again!.... So just look into it.
One has to come to an understanding... and it is time now, mm? -- you should come to an understanding. These two polarities cannot be lived separately; they have to come to a compromise. And I don't see that there is any trouble: one can be free with somebody and one can be with somebody and yet be free. Love and freedom can grow together... of course it needs great art.
A childish person can either be in love or can be free... but you are no more a child -- you should by now start becoming a grown-up, mm? So think over it. Good.

[A sannyasin says: I'm going back to pursue my study of astrology and to try to use it as a medium to communicate with people -- not for its predictative qualities but just as a psychological tool.... in pointing out blocks and indicating how best we can use our energy.]
Just remember a few things, mm? It will be good for you and good for people; you can go into it as totally as possible.
One thing which is very fundamental has to be remembered, and that is: whenever we are doing anything -- astrology, future suggestion, horoscope-readings, palmistry, i ching, tarot -- anything that is concerned with the future, it is basically a reading of the unconscious of the person. It has nothing much to do with the future. It has more to do with the past, but because the future is created by the past it is relevant to the future too.
