the corner. And remember, you have come home!
[A sannyasin says: For the first time in my life I feel I can surrender now to a woman... ]
Mm mm, it is always good. Surrender is always against so many odds. But in spite of all, it is possible... and surrender is surrender: whether you surrender to a woman or to a master or to God makes no difference. Surrender is the thing: surrender is surrender. And woman is the best place to learn how to surrender.
[A sannyasin says she feels in darkness, feels lost... ]
Leave it me; don't be worried. Just relax into the darkness, mm? Just relax into the darkness, whatsoever it is, just be relaxed. I will see that it becomes light. If we can accept darkness, it becomes light. Acceptance is a miracle. If we can accept hell, hell becomes heaven. If we can accept suffering, suffering turns into a blessing; that's the magic.
Simply accept and relax, don't condemn it. Don't think that something wrong is there. Darkness is beautiful, so soothing, so velvety, so serene, so infinite.
Light comes and goes, light is momentary; darkness is eternal. Relax into it and soon you will find the more you relax, the more it is dark, and then darkness starts turning into a new dawn. Because light and darkness are not two things: they are one energy. Relax and start working in the ashram. Good.
[A sannyasin couple are present. The woman says: I'm in love.]
That's very good! To be in love is always good. with whom you are, that is irrelevant!...
[To the man] Good! Mm? she is really in love -- don't get scared! That always happens: when one person is really in love, the other can become scared. Because love is a dangerous phenomenon; it is like death. A woman in love is death! She wants to absorb you totally and that creates fear. It should not but it does. So this is a problem: great loves are always tragedies, small loves are comedies. And she is really in love for the first time. She is right: this is her first love. So you have to be alert and don't get scared because. hen a woman really loves you she surrounds you from everywhere. She does not allow you any escape; she leaves no door
