just start living your life as it comes, if you start enjoying whatsoever it gives... And I am not saying that it will be perfect; it is never perfect, and it has no obligation to be perfect.

And the second thing to remember: energy is not just energy; it is heat energy, it has a warmth in it, it is love energy. So you grow only when you are hot; when you become cold you stop growing. Death is cold, life is hot. Love is hot, so is hate -- indifference is cold. So the worst situation that man can be in is indifference. In comparison to indifference even hate is good -- at least it is hot, something is boiling there. Hate can be
