Life begins when we step out of the mind. We step out of the small mind through samadhi. There are several kinds of samadhi. Samadhi is silence in the mind through meditation, singing, dancing, intoxicated devotion, and through hundred percent effort in any activity. These are all different flavours of samadhi, and all are present in our very nature just as the ability to sit still, walk straight, jump up and down, dance, lie down and sleep like a rock. When the mind is disturbed, it can be calmed down back into samadhi through these means. When people are worried and tense, they go to a bar and drink. If they go to satsangs and dance, that intoxication can take away all their worries. The mind's agitation will settle down, if only they ponder over what life is. It is going to end, anyway. It's going to end any time, any day, at any moment. What is there to worry about? The agitation in the mind settles down realising the very fact that all things are changing in life. Through these means - singing and dancing - the disturbed mind can be settled down. No-one can worry then. This is a principle. This is a law. This is a rule. The mind gets disturbed from time to time, and through these practices the mind can settle down. You can take care of your diet and take medicine when the body is sick. In the same way. The mind get a little shaken; a few ripples rise. What do you want then? Just drop it, surrender, offer, meditate and that ripples goes away.
Do not feel or think the ripple should not rise in the mind at all. We have a concept : we think the enlightened body can never get sick. It is not true. The body follows certain physical laws, and it can also get sick. There is no mind in the enlightened, but the enlightened person still has feelings, and is sensitive to everyone's feelings. If one person or one devotee in the satsang is not feeling well, it immediately reflect in the Big Mind also, because the Big Mind is the sum total of all the small minds.
We say that God is our Father or Mother. If the children are unhappy, can the father or mother be very happy? If the children are sad and unhappy, can the father have a party? The mother and father also feel a pinch!
