you really want to destroy something and it is too much, then destroy something else. There are many things to be destroyed. The destruction can be channelised: jealousy has to be destroyed, not love; possessiveness has to be destroyed, not love. If you are too much in the mood to destroy, I will give you the whole garden; there are so many weeds! Destroy the weeds -- but don't destroy the roses! Let your destructive feeling be fulfilled, let the destructive quality be employed.

So look: if you want to destroy something, then destroy! There are so many things to be destroyed. Why not fulfill that desire? But there is no need to destroy the roses; that is simply foolish.

My feeling is that you have not watched it; you have not tried to listen to the message of it, you have not allowed it to say what it wants to say. You have been pushing it away; you don't want to listen. Then sometimes in unaware moments it catches hold of you, it possesses you, and then it destroys the roses. It will destroy the roses....

Listen to it and put it to some job. The world needs so many things to be destroyed and demolished. Use that energy and you will be fulfilled, and it will not be destructive to the roses, to your love.

Many times you will feel it and many times you will lose it -- because it happens on many layers. A man is not a single layer, a man is many layers... you are many people.

On the first layer the connection happens. Then my whole work is to destroy that layer so that you can penetrate to the second layer. When that layer
