    In this first meeting of the meditation camp, I
    would like to talk about the first step for a
    meditator, a seeker. What is the first step?

    A thinker or a lover follow certain paths but a
    seeker has to travel on a totally different
    journey. For a seeker, what is the first step on
    the journey?

    The body is the first step for a seeker -- but
    no attention or thought has been given to it.
    Not only at certain times, but for thousands of
    years, the body has been neglected. The
    neglect is of two kinds. Firstly, there are the
    indulgent people who have neglected the
    body. They have no experience of life other
    than eating, drinking and wearing clothes.
    They have neglected the body, misused it,
    foolishly wasted it -- they have ruined their
    instrument, their veena.

    If a musical instrument -- for example, a veena
    -- is ruined, music cannot arise out of it. Music
    is an altogether different thing from the veena
    -- music is one thing, the veena is another,
    but without the veena music cannot arise...
