So first we must respect the Mother Earth. I like you people because you are sitting on the ground, it’s very good. For meditation if you can sit on the Mother Earth it will be extremely good because the special quality of the Mother Earth…
She too sucks your problem and when She sucks your problem you get rid of them without any difficulties.
So, if you cannot, say, sit on the ground, then you take a stone, better is, or you can have a marble, or something which is natural on which you should try to sit.
But if you sit on the plastic and do your meditation, I don’t know what is going to help you, the plastic? That’s why I request you always, that use natural things, because natural things can absorb your problems very well. Unnaturally also we live otherwise. You see it is on the physical line, also on mental line.
On mental line what do we do, that we go on arguing, explaining, it’s going on and on and on and on! There’s no end to it. One should get headache, you see, actually with all that.
But if you are spontaneous, if you are very spontaneous, immediately you will know what the other fellow is trying to do or to say or to communicate.
You don’t need much thinking about it, because you can absorb even the thought of another person. Absorb doesn’t mean that you take the bad thing of that person, but it’s like the sieving out. You absorb what another person is saying and you sieve it out.
