with ourselves. If we are alone we feel uncomfortable.. So we call somebody, we invite somebody, we talk to somebody, because we have not learned to be with our self. One is not enjoying the solitude, but solitude is the beginning and solitude is the end whether we believe it or not.
There are people who want to give to you, the universe is there to give to you, but if we are limited, we are in fear to take it, how can we take it? So the person is not good in a relationship because of their own fear. Fear is reflecting in the relationship. And that fear you remove through awareness and understanding.
Sometimes guilt overcomes us. And a small mistake we have made becomes large. We start believing in our own mistake and say what a bad person we are. I did such a horrible thing. But the thing was not so horrible as you think. It was small, but because of telling yourself again and again it becomes horrible in your mind. Because the neurons go on building this energy. So what we believe becomes that which we are.
Our thinking must be simple. Deceit complicates the simplicity of thinking just simple thoughts. When you were watching Mahatma Gandhi, the best quality in him was the simplicity of life. Mahatma Gandhi would not miss prayer or meditation anytime. One day they came back from a trip at 2:00 and they were so tired, he went to sleep. At 3:00 he got up and started meditating. His secretary, was one of the most dedicated men you could find; he was so much one with Gandhi that when Gandhi got up, he got up, as though his sleep was aligned with him. He got up, and he said, you are tired. Gandhi said, “I can live without food, but not without my meditation or prayer. Because without food, I can live, body will be pure, but not without this purification of thought through meditation.” My friends, that's the way he became Gandhi. At the physical level he was a bunch of bones. He was not a tall man, a handsome man. He was nothing. He was not even 100 pounds. Churchill (a very big man) mentioned he didn't want to meet him because Gandhi had some magic in his eyes. What was the magic? Magic of love, magic of truth. Mountbatten came, but Churchill said he hypnotizes you. Love hypnotizes, truth hypnotizes. Friendship is hypnotism, and I tell you, you will hypnotize anybody when you speak from your heart.
So now let us close our eyes and just visualize that you are in a form of a crystal body. Your body is a crystal. But we don't see the transparencies of the crystal because there is some dark liquid filling it. And we are trying in these eight days to take it out. So visualize that around your fingers and toes there are valves which you can open so the liquid can go out. Visualize the top of your head, and the liquid color which does not allow your crystal like personality to be transparent. You open the valves of your fingers, so this liquid is going out. It is sticky liquid of passion, of anger, of hate, of bad feeling, of guilt. It is a mixture. So now in your forehead you see that water has gone, so you see it is transparent. Now again you allow a little bit to go, drop by drop, so the liquid is going down. Your eyes are clear. You have clear vision. It is not colored with the dark liquid. It now has gone down. Now it is going down to your mouth, your words are perfect, your words are pure, your words are very, very positive because it is the transparent crystal quality shining. Now the
