Ma A. P.: Acharyaji, I am trying yogic meditation since a long time, but I am not getting any clear and basic result. What is wrong with me?
Acharya Rajneesh : There can be so many reasons. The method used is somewhere wrong; or the way in which it is used is wrong; or neither method, nor the way is wrong, but
the unconscious longing behind the method is wrong. The unconscious must be changed. If you have been using the method for so many years and only getting shallow results, change the method. There are so many methods - one should not cling to one method only. May be the method is not wrong but just not right for you.
The method may be all right, but it is not for you. As far as you are concerned, it may be wrong.
So change the method. Change is always helpful. Sometimes one becomes accustomed to the method, and then the experiences will be shallow. Sometimes we become conditioned to a method, and it becomes a shallow affair. Where nothing is new, you go on repeating it as a routine. When it becomes a routine, you will never achieve anything through it. When a method becomes a routine, nothing significant can be achieved. So what I have to say is: if you use this method, the method itself is such that it can never become a routine. It is so disorderly and chaotic, that you can never make it a routine.
All those methods which have disciplined and orderly systems behind them always become routine. You must use a chaotic method, so that you are never settled in it. It always remains something new, something new to be faced each day. So the method I have been talking to you about will help you. It is chaotic. And for the modern mind, no disciplined method can be helpful. For the modern mind is basically chaotic. It is basically a change in pattern. The old mind was a non-changing, fixed mind. A person was always settled. Today nothing is settled. Two centuries ago a person born a Christian, would die a Christian. Today it is not so. A person born a Christian may become a Hindu. Everything becomes chaotic. His childhood mind is something else, his young mind something else. He may become a communist and then some day, he may come to the Himalayas to meditate.
Today's mind is a mind which is not fixed. It is in chaos. So all old methods which were meant for the fixed minds are out of date. For the chaotic mind a chaotic method is needed. Only then, it can lead to deeper realms. Otherwise the results are bound to be shallow. Once it becomes settled, we will be bored with it. And if you go on prolonging it, it is suicidal. Don?t prolong it.
Method is for you. You are not for the method ? change it.
