OF THEIR OWN ACCORD, AND EACH DOES HIS WORK.
And when this light is there moving inside you, the body becomes a servant. The senses become obedient servants. You need not try to control them -- they follow you of their own accord.
This is the beauty of Tao: it never enforces anything, it does not want to cultivate any character. It says: Simply become full of light and all else will follow.
THEREFORE YOU ONLY HAVE TO MAKE THE LIGHT CIRCULATE: THAT IS THE DEEPEST AND MOST WONDERFUL SECRET. THE LIGHT IS EASY TO MOVE, BUT DIFFICULT TO FIX. IF IT IS MADE TO CIRCULATE LONG ENOUGH, THEN IT CRYSTALLIZES ITSELF. IT IS THE CONDITION OF WHICH IT IS SAID: 'SILENTLY THOU FLIEST UPWARD IN THE MORNING.'
A very significant thing is being said in this sutra: The light is easy to move, it is difficult to fix it. So don't try to fix it. That's where Yoga tries to do something which cannot be done easily. Hence, the difficulty, the arduousness of Yoga -- Yoga tries to fix the light. It also tries to fix the light between the two eyes -- just exactly between the two eyebrows at the third-eye centre. Yoga tries to fix it. That is the difference between Tao and Yoga: Yoga wants to fix it. 'Concentrate on the third eye' -- in a nutshell, that is the whole philosophy of Yoga. 'If you can concentrate your whole consciousness on the third eye you will be transformed, your two eyes will become one and you will be full of light.'
And just beyond the third eye -- the third eye is the sixth centre in the Yoga map of consciousness -- beyond the sixth is the seventh. The seventh is called 'the one-thousand-petalled lotus'. If the light is concentrated at the third eye, when it becomes too much, it will give a push to the seventh centre. It will start rising like water in a reservoir. And the push to the seventh centre will open the bud that has remained a bud for centuries, for millions of lives.
Tao works from a different standpoint. Tao says: To fix the light is very difficult. Don't become concerned with fixing it. The easy way is to circulate it. Mind always finds circulation easy. It is mind's nature to move. Mind always finds it difficult to concentrate,
