now； the reverse is happening： the heroine does not step out of the screen； rather； you enter the screen and pat her。
you can be saved this trouble！ its not good to cause you so much bother： you need not go through the inconvenience。
it will bee possible for you to remain seated in your chair and the heroine will e and caress you！
what goes on in life anyway？ what transpires when i take your hand in my hand？ when i hold your hand in my hand； you see it either as an expression of love or of enmity。
it is just a matter of interpretation。
in both cases the hand is held； the difference arises only in the interpretation。
when a hand is being held； in a moment both things can happen without much difficulty： initially the holding of hands can take place with the feeling of love； while in the end； the feeling of enmity may set them apart。
this is not difficult to conceive。
so much change es about in a second。
when i hold your hand； you take it as my expression of love。
but what is actually happening？ really； what is transpiring？ if both our hands were to be examined； what seems to be going on？ some electrons are pressing against some other electrons。
and the interesting thing is； my hand never touches yours。
a space inevitably remains between the two。
and sometimes it shrinks。
when there is a distance the space bees visible。
as the distance shrinks； the space bees less and less visible。
if the distance bees too narrow； the space disappears。
so when one hand is holding the other； there is always a space between the two。
the pressure works on that very space； not on your hand。
and in effect； the pressure of that empty space works on your hand。
we interpret this pressure of the empty space as either love or enmity。
it is all a matter of interpretation。
however； if one could bee a witness and watch this holding of hands； an incredible thing happens。
when someone holds your hand； dont be in a hurry to see it as either love or enmity。
just remain a witness to the holding of hands； and you will feel a total transformation in your consciousness。
when someones lips are pressed on yours； forget about love etcetera； simply bee a witness for a moment。
you will have such a strange experience in your consciousness； one you may have never had before。
then it is possible you may laugh at yourself。
as long as you laugh at others； you are not a witness。
the day you laugh at yourself； you bee a witness。
from that day on you begin witnessing。
people all over the world laugh at others； only a sannyasin laughs at himself。
and one who can laugh at himself has begun to see something。
another thing is； be a witness in life …… anywhere； any moment。
for example； while eating； suddenly bee a watcher for a moment： watch your hand picking up the food； watch your mouth chewing the food； watch the food reaching your stomach。
stand at a distance and simply watch。
you will suddenly find the taste has disappeared。
all of a sudden； the act of eating will take on a different meaning。
you will find that you are not eating …… food is being taken and you are merely watching。
there is a wonderful story。
the story is
once a monk arrived on the outskirts of the town where krishna lived。
it was the rainy season and the river was flooded。
the monk was on the other shore。
the women of the village were anxious to feed the monk； but the river stood in the way。
on their way they stopped by to see krishna。
they asked krishna； 〃how are we to cross the river？ the current is very strong； boats cannot cross。
the monk has been without food for the last few days。
occasionally we receive some news about him。
he is waiting on the other side； which is covered with thick forest。
we must bring him food。
please show us a way to cross the river。
〃
krishna said； 〃go to the river and tell her if the monk has never had any food in his entire life； if he has always been on a fast； she should make way for you。
〃 since these were krishnas words； the women believed him。
the women went ahead。
addressing the river they said； 〃o river！ if the monk has been on a fast for all of his life； then please give way so we can bring him food。
〃
the story goes that the river gave way。
the women crossed the river and fed the monk。
the food they had brought was more than enough； but the monk ate it all。
when it was time to return； they realized all of a sudden they had not asked krishna the key to finding their way back。
now they found themselves in great difficulty。
earlier they had said to the river that the monk had been fasting his whole life； how could they say the same thing now？ the monk was not an ordinary eater； saying he was on a fast was far from the truth …… he had consumed all the food the women had brought。
the monk didnt even wait for the women to offer him second or third helpings。
there were no leftovers。
the women became very concerned。
the monk asked； 〃why do you look so troubled？ what is the matter？〃
the women said； 〃we are in great difficulty。
we only knew the device for ing here； we dont know the key that will take us back。
〃 the monk asked what the device was that had brought them to him。
the women said； 〃krishna told us if we wanted to cross the river； we should tell the river that if the monk is on a fast； it should make a way for us。
〃
the monk said； 〃so what is the problem？ the same device will work again。
the key which can lock can also unlock； and the one which can unlock can also lock。
use the same key again。
〃
the women said； 〃how can we use it now？ you have already eaten the food。
〃
the monk burst into laughter； a striking sound on the bank of that river。
the women were very puzzled。
they said； 〃here we are in trouble； and you are laughing！〃
the monk said； 〃i am not laughing at you； i am laughing at myself。
go ahead and tell the river the same thing you said before。
the river must have understood my laughter。
go and tell her once again。
〃
with great fear； great hesitation and uncertainty； they approached the river and sa
