time, don't be sympathetic -- rather, try to destroy the misery. And don't enjoy the effort that you are doing. Start from this, then you will be able to do the other. When somebody is ecstatically blissful, hold his hand, dance with him, laugh with him. Ask him, 'Brother or sister, how have you attained? Tell me something about it -- give me the good news! Allow me also to become part of your happiness, your ecstasy... let me dance with you!'
Participate... feel joyful that somebody has a glimpse. Just a few times effort will be needed and the old pattern will be broken. It is just an old habit that you had imbibed.

Try it. It will go -- nothing to be worried about.

The mind likes that which hts with it, and anything that fits with the mind is never going to change you. Anything whatsoever that fits with the mind will strengthen the same mind, will make it even stronger.
So something that the mind feels repelled by has to be explored. There is a possibility that it may prove a radical change in your life. And right now you misunderstand because you are identified too much with the mind. You don't know what is really beneficial and what is not. Whatsoever you decide,
