a woman is really in love the man becomes afraid -- it is too much. But because of that don't shrink, otherwise you will not feel the totality of it. Pour your love as much as you can. And always remain in love. I repeat again -- it doesn't matter with whom but always remain in love! Good!
[A sannyasin says she is unhappy with her work in the ashram: I've been typing for a year and a half now and my heart isn't in it and it never was, and I've been doing it because it needs to be done. I just feel I'd rather be doing some sort of work that I'd enjoy more.]
If everybody is going to enjoy, then who is going to do the work?... only I? It is perfectly good, enjoy, but then you don't share any work with me. Everybody wants to just go into the garden; nobody wants to work anywhere. Then why should I? I can also go into the garden!
This idea arises because the commitment, the involvement is not there. You are working just for your own sake, not for my sake; otherwise there would be no trouble and no problem. Once that starts happening to you, that you are working for me, that it is not work; this is your way to help my work, this is your love towards me -- then there is no problem. Otherwise do you think Laxmi would like to be in the office, Maneesha would like to do her work? Everybody will be in the garden except me! (chuckling) Then how am I going to do everything? I have been inviting thousands of people here and much work is going to happen and everybody wants to escape from the work.
Just change your attitude and see... For two months work for me, forget yourself. If that doesn't work then I will change you from there. Then you can do whatsoever you feel like doing, mm? Good.
[A visitor says: The official reason that I'm here is because I came to visit my sister. But she said that you called me in some way, so I'm here.]
Mm mm... good! I have called you! And official reasons don't matter; the real thing always happens unofficially. It happens indirectly, it happens in a subtle way. On the surface something goes on; deep in the heart something else starts happening.
