Chapter 19 - At the maximum you disappear
So the people you must be meeting, Prem Bhagvato, don't have energy as such. Or maybe they have their energy at the minimum, so when you start overflowing with energy, they start feeling afraid. And their saying to you that you are sometimes "too much" is a condemnation.
They are annoyed with you; you have touched their weakest point.
They are living just as survival, and my people are making every effort to live at the maximum.
Why live at the minimum? When life gives you the opportunity to live at the maximum, then sing and dance with total abandon.
Still, I say to you: whatever you do, it is never "the feeling of being too much." That is simply not possible. Your well can become bigger and bigger and bigger, but still, it can never become the ocean. And unless you become oceanic, you don't know what it means to be too much.
But the problem is, the moment you become oceanic, you are no more -- only pure energy, vibrating all over the existence.
As long as you are, you are always falling short of your maximum. At the maximum, you disappear.
Then it is only a pure dance of energy.
And the pure dance of energy brings all your potentialities to their fullest expression. Only then can you say the spring has come, because you are blossoming in every dimension of your being.
So don't be bothered by the people who say that your energy, your being, your feeling is too much. It is comparative. Just tell them, "You are poor, you are living at the survival level.
You have not known love and you have not known dance and you have not known celebration. You have not known life as such; you are simply vegetating,
from cradle to grave, just dragging yourself somehow."
A teacher, standing in front of her class, asks, "Children, what part of the human anatomy expands twelve times when it is directly stimulated?"
Little Susie, in the front row, starts giggling and laughing, trying to cover her mouth with her hand. In the back row, Johnny raises his hand. The teacher says, "Yes, Johnny?"
Johnny stands up and says, "Teacher, the iris of the human eye expands twelve times when it is directly stimulated by light."
The teacher says, "Very good, Johnny. That is the correct answer. And Susie, you have a very dirty little mind, and when you grow up you are going to be very disappointed."
Question 3 BELOVED OSHO,
EIGHT YEARS AGO I SAW YOU ON TV. THERE WAS A REPORT ABOUT THE
POONA ASHRAM. I SAW YOU DOING THE ENERGY DARSHAN, PUTTING YOUR
FINGER ON TO THE THIRD EYE OF SOME PEOPLE, CAUSING THEM TO FALL
DOWN. AT THAT MOMENT I RECOGNIZED YOU. IT TOOK ME SIX YEARS TO SIT
IN FRONT OF YOU. THE FIRST TIME YOU LOOKED AT ME, I FELL DOWN, AND
