Intensity - Vol 1

INTRODUCTION

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

Whether we lead or whether we
follow, in order to be fulfilled in
whatever we do, we need to be
intense. Only when the urge
becomes urgent, when the
question becomes a quest, does the
ultimate happen. The deep
dissatisfaction about what is there
in the Inner space is what is called
intensity. Your dissatisfaction
which is now directed towards the
outer world, has to turn towards
the inner world and only then it
will lead to satisfaction. If your
consciousness is constantly moving
towards the outer world, it is called
restlessness. If it is moving towards
the inner world, it is called
intensity.

Intensity is not an emotion. It is
like heat. The part of intensity
that melts and comes out can be
called emotion. The side effect of
intensity is emotion. Intensity
should become a quality.

If you are talking, let the
intensity be there. In your
relationships, in your decisions,
in your memory, in your
thinking, in your desires, even in
your fear, be intense without
escaping from that moment.

THAT IS WHAT IS
CALLED AS
INTENSITY.

Intensity means radiating the
energy that does not create
any conflict inside and
outside. It flows smoothly
and yet very strongly.
Intensity is like a flood which
is intense and flowing.
Intensity is integration.
Intensity is focus. Intensity is
sincerity. When you are
intense and ready to flow
you will achieve the goal.
Success is nearest to those
whose efforts are intense and
sincere.

When we change gears while driving a
car, whether we change from first to
second, or second to third, or any gear
for that matter, we have to pass
through neutral every time. We have
to completely de-press the clutch, or
'unclutch', move through neutral, and
only then we can go to the next gear,
right? In the same way, we experience
a neutral space between any two
thoughts in our mind..
