If your mind took instructions from you, would you create anxiety?

Just do the simple sadhana, all of you. You can't do any other yoga. This much you can do, isn't it?

You will see, half your anxiety will start settling down,

because essentially the conflict is, there are two dimensions within you.

If your mind took instructions from you, would you create anxiety? No. So don't look for answers, elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere, it is just that your own physiology and

your psychological patterns, not taking instructions from you. So you said so many things, I try, you know, whatever these big words of floating all over California, particularly about surrendering to it, about letting it go, about...

Not for one person has such a thing worked, ever. Has it? I'm asking you. You have anxiety. Try to let it go.

Does it go? Even a flu, damn flu doesn't go. Yes or no? Even a simple cold does not go. You say, go, does it go?

So let's not get into this fanciful states of surrendering. These are all words thrown around. Nobody knows what is surrender.

Because when it happens, you will not know it has happened. You can't do it. I surrendered. How is that possible?

So leaving those things, essentially, as I said, you have not read the user's manual of how this works. We need to pay attention to this.

The system is made in such a way. If you hold your hand like this, it'll work one way. If you do like this, it'll work another way.

If you do like that, it'll work another way. It's a phenomenal process. If it was a simple thing, we could have just beaten it into shape with hammer and anvil, okay?

It's too sophisticated. It's a phenomenally complex machine. One needs to pay a certain level of attention to be able to use it for what it is designed for.

Otherwise, it'll get itself messed up. Now, there may be many factors. There may be genetic factors. There may be sociological factors. There may be growing up issues, you know, various things.

But do not ascribe your problems to any of those things. The important thing is just this. You are not able to have your mind the way you want it. That's the only problem you have, isn't it?

The moment you describe it, I'm like this because my father was like that. I'm like this because my grandfather's genetics were not okay. You have finished.

Because we can't chain those guys now. Yes? You can't choose a different father or a different grandfather now, it's over.

But you can transform this. You must understand. Still, it doesn't matter. You have an anxiety disorder. Still, if you put a piece of carrot, there is an intelligence here which can transform a carrot into a human being.

That means every day a new body is being manufactured within you, isn't it? In parts a new human being is manufactured every day.

When the very source of creation is functioning within you and the new human being is constantly being created, if you take little charge of that, you can create an entire new physiological and psychological process.

This happened to us sometime ago. Last year we were trekking into bed. I was in a tent. I was doing some work and another person was cutting an apple.
