Better than being in the head, it is always good to be in the hands.
It will make you more alive and put you more in touch with life. It will connect you more to the earth. Massage is perfectly fine – it’s better than being a diplomat! It’s very, very good to forget about all that nonsense.
Go deeper into your body. Make your senses more alive. Look more lovingly, taste more lovingly, touch more lovingly, smell more lovingly. Let your senses work more and more. Then suddenly you will see that the energy that was moving too much in the head is now well distributed in the body. The head is very dictatorial. It continues to take energy from everywhere and is monopolistic. It has killed the senses. The head is taking almost eighty percent of the energy, and only twenty percent is left for the whole body.
Of course, the whole body suffers, and when the whole body suffers, you suffer, because you can only be happy when you are functioning as a whole, as an organic unit, and every part of your body and being is getting its proportion; nothing more than that, nothing less than that. So you function in a rhythm. You have harmony. Harmony, happiness, health, are all part of a phenomenon, and this is totality. If you are whole, you are happy, healthy, harmonious. The head is creating a ruckus. People have lost a lot of things. People can’t smell. He has lost the ability to smell. He has lost the ability to taste. You can only hear a few things. He has lost his hearing.
People don’t know what it’s really like to play. His skin has become dead. It has lost its softness and responsiveness. So the head gains strength like an Adolf Hitler, crushing the whole body. The head gets bigger and bigger. It is very ridiculous. The man is almost like a caricature: a very large head and only very small, dangling limbs. So come to your senses. Do anything with your hands, with the earth, with trees, with rocks, with bodies, with people.
Do anything that doesn’t need a lot of thinking, a lot of intellectualization. And enjoy. Then your head will gradually no longer be a burden. This will also be good for the head, because when the head is very burdened, it thinks; but it cannot think. How can a troubled mind think? To think, you need clarity.
To think you need a mind that is not tense. It may seem a paradox, but to think you need a mind without thought. So, you can think very easily, very directly, intensely. Just put any problem before you and your thoughtless mind begins to solve it. Then you have intuition. Not a concern; just a revelation. When the mind becomes too burdened with thoughts, you think too much but to no purpose.
It comes to nothing; there is nothing in the head. You go round and round, you make a lot of noise, but in the end the result is zero. So it is not against the head to disperse the energy to all the senses. It is in your favor, because when the head is balanced, in its right place, it works better; otherwise it is stuck. It has very heavy traffic. It’s almost like rush hour; a twenty-four hour rush hour. So start doing something… whatever you feel. The massage is very good.
The body is beautiful… Anything done with the body is beautiful.
