some nights previously (see Dance Your Way to God, August 18th), that in the coming century it will be the lazy people who will be revered, not the active ones. As machines take over more and more, the lazy man who is not demanding work will be much appreciated.]
And don't create any ideals that you have to do this. Don't have any 'shoulds'. The 'should'creates a sort of neurosis. Then one is obsessed. The 'should' is always there, standing and condemning you, and you cannot enjoy anything. Enjoy! Kill the 'should' completely and be herenow. Whatsoever you can do, do; whatsoever you cannot do, accept. That is the way you are -- and you are here to be yourself, nobody else. By and by you will see that your T is turning into N. You will become nourishing and you will enjoy more, you will love more, and you will become more meditative.
In fact, for a lazy person to become meditative is easier than for an active person. That's why the whole East became lazy -- they meditated too much. Meditation is a sort of passivity. An active person feels very restless. Just to sit silent is the most difficult thing. Not to do anything is the most difficult thing to do for an active person.
Just enjoy and move as fits your being -- no shoulds, no ideals, otherwise they will poison you. Look at life with deep hope. It is really beautiful. Just look at it, and don't wait for perfection. Don't think in terms of your enjoying things only when they are perfect; then you will never enjoy.
If a T type person encounters God, he will immediately find some faults in Him. That's why God is hiding -- because of T type people. He reveals Himself to the N type, never to T types. He reveals only to those who can take nourishment from Him -- not only that, but to those who can nourish Him.
So just relax, enjoy, accept, and the problems will disappear.
[A sannyasin, who is leaving, says: I'm feeling loving towards people, feeling warmth, but I don't feel very sexual. I don't know if it's slightly repressed or if it's okay.]
There's no need to feel sexual -- and there is no need to be worried about it. Just feel loving and warm. That one has to remember
