record which goes on repeating the same line.
The unexpected is the ecstatic moment, the unexpected is what god is, so remain available to the unexpected I And the more available you are, the more it will be coming -- because it comes many times but we are closed.
Now, it was not a necessity that you should become a sannyasin; you had just come to meet your friend. You could have remained closed, but you opened up. A new beginning starts, something new has entered in your life -- now you will not be the same ever!
And this simple step of being a sannyasin will have tremendous impact. It will open more doors -- and life is a thrill when you know that something unexpected is still possible.
[A new sannyasin said she would like to learn T'ai Chi.]
T'ai chi is very good, mm? But when the body is unburdened of repressed emotions and energy starts flowing, then T'ai Chi is just the right thing to do. But just wait... Just wait a little, mm? Always remember, everything has a particular time, a particular season and a particular climate. First create the season and the climate. Let there be spring, then flowers come very easily. Otherwise sometimes in the wrong season, in the wrong climate, you can go on working hard and nothing will happen. My experience with T'ai Chi is that if a person has many repressed emotions, those emotions become like a wall around the diaphragm. He cannot feel the hara, the T'ai Chi centre. Even if you tell him that it is there, just below the navel, two inches below the navel, he cannot feel it. He can believe it, he can imagine it, but he cannot feel it -- and unless you feel it exactly where it is, t'ai chi doesn't start. You have to be focused there, centred there -- there is the source of your 'chi', your energy.
But unless one has thrown all the repressed emotions .... Anger, greed, jealousy, and a thousand and one things are there and we go on piling them up in the stomach because that is the only empty space in the body. So whatsoever you want to throw, you throw it there -- either throw it out or throw it in; only two are the ways.
Catharsis means throwing it out so it doesn't spoil your
