Then the robot does it and you are free to learn something else.
So whatever you have learned is always transferred to the robot. This is a necessity of life, otherwise you will not be able to do many things. Now that part, the driving part, needs no attention. Now you can sing a song, smoke a cigarette, listen to the radio, talk to a friend – you can do anything. Slowly, slowly once you have learned to drive, you need not think of anything at all. You have to be conscious of all these things. If you start learning to drive, in the beginning you have to be very alert, alert about many things: the wheel, and the accelerator, and the brake and the clutch, and the people on the road. That’s what happens when you have learned something. The robot part of my body worked, but I was not in it.” “The first time, I was walking, I was looking around, and the fly came.

Now there was no fly, but he took his hands again, very consciously, slowly, waved at the fly which was not there. The fly went away, but he stopped himself in the middle of the road with the five disciples watching what happened. Just out of unconscious habit, he waved his hand. They were walking – he had five disciples with him. It was just a few days before he became enlightened that this incident happened. He was just on the verge of enlightenment. Maybe ninety-nine percent of his being was light only one percent remained dark. When you are eating, eat consciously.īuddha was not yet enlightened, was coming closer and closer and closer. When you say something, say it very consciously when you listen to something, listen consciously. Buddha says: When you stand up, stand up consciously when you sit down, sit down consciously. But bring awareness to yourself: walk fully conscious. You are walking, it is an automatic habit, you need not be aware of it. Remember this: de-automatize your habits. What do I mean when I say become more conscious? – de-automatize your habits.
