and you still force it; then you lose contact.
So one just has to be real -- then there is communication. Being real means sometimes you will be cruel too, not Kind; sometimes you will hurt and sometimes you will heal too. Then you are both summer and winter, both good and bad; you are open. But if you try to be just good always, always a catholic Christian, then it is difficult.
But watch in the next group also and then tell me. It can be very significant and can change your whole mode of life.
[A sannyasin says: I've been a diplomat, and then lately I've been teaching -- but I've resigned from that.
I've been thinking I might study something like massage because I like working with my hands, and I know it's a job where you can be open and receptive.]
It's very good. To do something with the hands is always good. Rather than to be a head, it is always good to be hands. It will make you more alive and more in contact with life. It will make you more grounded.
Massage is perfectly good. It is better than to be a diplomat. It is very very good to forget all about that nonsense. Get more into your body. Make your senses more alive. See more lovingly, taste more lovingly, touch more lovingly, smell more lovingly. Let your senses function more and more. Then suddenly you will see the energy that was. moving too much in the head is now well-divided in the body.
The head is very dictatorial. It goes on taking energy from everywhere and is a monopolist. It has killed the senses. The head is taking almost eighty percent of the energy, and only twenty percent is left for the whole body. Of course the whole body suffers, and when the whole body suffers, you suffer, because you can only be happy when you are functioning as a whole, as an organic unity, and every part of your body and being is getting its proportion; not more than that, not less than that. Then you function in a rhythm. You have a harmony.
Harmony, happiness, health -- they are all part of one phenomenon, and that is wholeness. If you are whole, you are happy, healthy, harmonious.
The head is creating a disturbance. People have lost many things.
