    [ to a sannyasin returning to her husband in the
    West ]

    Just be there and be totally there. It is not a
    question of where you are; the question is
    always of being total or partial.

    Whenever you are partial, something goes on
    missing. But my feeling is that you will be partial
    there too -- because you could not be total
    here, so how can you be total there?
    Here you have been thinking of somebody who
    is there; there you will think of me and things
    that are here.

    Partiality is the way of the mind. The mind can
    never be total in anything, because to be total
    means to commit suicide; as far as the mind is
    concerned, it is a suicide. The mind is very
    clever in creating new fragments.

    You are thinking that there you will be total, but
    you will be there -- nobody else -- and this mind
    will be there -- no other mind. If it cannot be total
    here, how can it be total there? Just by
    changing places, nothing is changed; the mind
    remains unaffected by changing your place. The
    mind has to be changed.

     If you had been total here then there would
    have been a possibility: you could have hoped
    to be total there too. But try. Who knows? It may
    happen there.

    And it is always so that whenever you are not
    with your lover great romantic ideas arise, and
    when you are with your lover then all simply falls
    flat.

    When you are not with your lover your heart is
    simply longing to be together, and when you are
    together suddenly you find the whole stupidity of
    it...
