    [ A new sannyasin says: Well, I am very much of
    a hesitating person. .. so, for instance, before I
    came to Poona I hesitated about it for about two
    weeks: yes, no, yes, no. I have that often, and I
    would like to change it because sometimes I feel
    so hopeless about it. ]

    One has to learn a few things, only then can the
    hesitation go. First is: there is nothing to lose.

    Hesitation is there because one is always afraid
    that one may lose something, but one doesn't
    have anything to lose! Once this dawns in your
    consciousness, that you have nothing to lose....
    What have you got? We never look into it.

    We go on thinking that we have much to lose, so
    we are hesitant about whether to do this or not
    to do it, to be or not to be; and we have nothing
    to lose! So in your hesitation you are wasting
    time, time that could have been lived, time that
    could have been of immense joy. Just see that
    you have nothing to lose, then every risk is
    possible.

    Hesitation means that you are afraid of taking a
    risk. Maybe it is right, maybe it is wrong. There
    is nothing right and nothing wrong! There are
    no things fixed as right and wrong. One thing
    can be right in one situation and maybe wrong
    in another situation, so don't be too worried
    about right and wrong.

    Rather than deciding whether it is right or
    wrong, see the appropriateness of it, whether it
    fits with the situation, whether it is an adequate
    response to the situation. Don't be bothered
    about ultimate values of right and wrong; there
    are none...
