CHAPTER 4. FIGHTING COCK<br />
Your practice is just to push <strong>the</strong> coil to <strong>the</strong> very end – <strong>the</strong> spring to <strong>the</strong> very end. What happens?<br />
You try it with a spring, you push it to <strong>the</strong> very end and <strong>the</strong>n let it go. It will not only uncoil, it will<br />
jump. This happens if you practise with your whole being as much as possible – you can never be<br />
really whole, but as much as possible.<br />
Your mind, just like a spring, is pushed against a wall and you go on pushing and pushing and<br />
pushing. All <strong>the</strong>se meditations that I tell you to do are just pushing <strong>the</strong> mind to <strong>the</strong> wall, to <strong>the</strong> very<br />
end. And <strong>the</strong> moment I see that now <strong>the</strong>re is no more going ahead, <strong>the</strong> spring cannot be pushed any<br />
more, any fur<strong>the</strong>r, you are almost ready, I will say: Drop! The spring will not only uncoil, it will jump<br />
out of you. And once <strong>the</strong> mind jumps out of you, you are freed from it. Then no practise is needed –<br />
<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>re is just moment to moment living, celebrating; <strong>the</strong>n moment-to-moment thanksgiving; <strong>the</strong>n<br />
moment to moment bliss and ecstasy.<br />
