the teacher thought the disciple was not meant to be with him, if he felt that the disciple would be helped more by someone else -- even by someone who was against him -- he would tell the disciple, "Go to that master!"
The disciple would say, "But I have heard that he is against you. He says that what you are doing is wrong."
The teacher would say, "Don't bother about what he says. He will suit you, his way will suit you. Go to him. Try there."
Go on trying different techniques, but try with your total heart. Otherwise you may throw a technique that was right for you. So try with your total heart. If something happens, good. Move on it, move deeply. But if you have tried with your total mind and total energy and nothing happens, then throw the technique; it is not for you. But don't throw it before you have tried it -- before you have tried it with your totality. SEEK THE WAY BY RETREATING WITHIN.
SEEK THE WAY BY ADVANCING BOLDLY WITHOUT.
Even if you experiment with a technique, and experience something within, there is every possibility that it may be just a delusion. It may be just a projection of the mind, it may be just a dream, a wish fulfillment. Don't think that you have achieved the way. Now, whatsoever you have achieved within, try it without. Whatsoever you know within your heart, now transform it in your character; now live it. You have experienced it. Now live it, make it your life. If you feel that silence has occurred to you through this experience, allow the silence to move, allow the ripples of the silence around you to move beyond you. Let your silence reach to others. Let others also feel that you have become silent.
If you go on being angry outwardly and still you say, "I am a great meditator," you are just deluding yourself. Don't delude, don't deceive, because only you will be the loser, no one else. Whatsoever has happened within you -- if you feel that you have experienced the inner light.... What is the criterion to know whether it is a delusion or a reality? The criterion is that your outer life will change accordingly.
If you have really experienced the inner light, sex will disappear. Love
