-- it is very simple: for one month eat as much as you want. No control. I need a few fat people also around me. You can become really good -- I see the potential!
(To the photographer) Take a photograph before and after! It will be really great. If you really can go into it you can defeat all the fat people around here! So for one month you are completely allowed to eat as much as you can; don't fight with it.
And I don't see that there is much problem.... You simply cannot enjoy life easily; you want some trouble. Without trouble you feel a little empty, and that's what is happening; that's why you have started eating. Here there is no trouble, and that's why you want something to hold on to: you need some trouble. So I will create trouble -- eat as much as you can! You will have enough trouble to hold on to.
You simply need some trouble. When things are going perfectly well you become a little disturbed. You cannot allow yourself happiness. Maybe for your whole life you never allowed it. You have a certain allergy towards happiness... many people have. They feel very very in tune with misery, and when there is no misery they have to create some, otherwise they don't feel in tune. When they are happy they are almost uprooted. They don't know what to do now, because when there is a problem you have something to do; when you don't have a problem there is nothing to do.
That's why I have been creating problems for you sometimes, because I have been observing that you need a few problems. And I will go on creating them if you don't stop it. Once you start enjoying, then there will be no problems given to you, otherwise I will go on -- throwing you from one room to another and from one job to another.... But that's what you demand! You will have to give me proof that you can permit yourself to be happy. And such a simple thing, permitting yourself to be happy, but I understand, it is very difficult to do. It takes years for people to learn how to permit themselves. Happiness is not difficult; permission is difficult.
And when you are happy you look foolish. Happiness has something intrinsic in it which looks like foolishness. When
