move, and you can forget that anything else exists -- you will be committingsuicide.Life arises from that inner source and spreads into the sky outside. There has tobe a balance -- I am always for balance. So I will not say, like Mahatma Gandhi,that your life should be an open book -- no. A few chapters open, okay. And afew chapters completely closed, completely a mystery. If you are just an openbook you will be a prostitute, you will just be standing in the marketplace naked,with just the radio on. No, that won't do.If the whole book is open, you will just be the day with no night, just the summerwith no winter. Then where will you rest and where will you center yourself andwhere will you take refuge? Where will you move when the world is too muchwith you? Where will you go to pray and meditate? No, half and half is perfect.Let half of your book be open -- open to everybody, available to everybody --and let the other half of your book be so secret that only rare guests are allowedthere.Only rarely is somebody allowed to move within your temple. That is how itshould be. If the crowd is coming in and going out, then the temple is no longer atemple. It may be a waiting room in an airport, but it cannot be a temple. Onlyrarely, very rarely, do you allow somebody to enter your self. That is what loveis.Question 2SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT I AM DOING HERE, SITTING BEFORE YOU.AND THEN SUDDENLY YOU ARE TOO MUCH FOR ME, TOO MUCH LIGHTAND LOVE. YET I WANT TO LEAVE YOU. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?Yes. The question is bound to happen to everybody some day or other.What are you doing here? The question arises because my emphasis is not ondoing; I am teaching you non-doing. The question is relevant. If I was teachingyou something to do, the question wouldn't arise because you would beoccupied. If you go to somebody else -- there are a thousand and one ashrams inthe world where they will teach you something to do. They will not leave youunoccupied at all because they think that an unoccupied mind is the devil'sworkshop.My understanding is totally, diametrically, opposite. When you are absolutelyempty, God fills you. When you are unoccupied, only then you are. While youare doing something, it is just on the periphery. All acts are on the periphery:good and bad, all. Be a sinner -- you are on the periphery; be a saint -- you are onthe periphery. To do bad you have to come out of yourself; to do good you alsohave to come out of yourself.Doing is outside, non-doing is inside. Non-doing is your private self, doing isyour public self. I am not teaching you to become saints, otherwise it would haveCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
