Relaxation

Relaxation is one of the most complex phenomena--very rich, multi-dimensional. All these things are part of it: let-go, trust, surrender, love, acceptance, going with the flow, union with existence, egolessness, ecstasy. All these are part of it, and all these start happening if you learn the way of relaxation. Your so-called religions have made you very tense, because they have created guilt in you. My effort here is to help you get rid of all guilt and all fear. I would like to tell you: there is no hell and there is no heaven. So don't be afraid of hell and don't be greedy for heaven. All that exists is this moment. You can make this moment a hell or heaven-- that certainly is possible --but there is no hell or heaven somewhere else: Hell is when you are all tense, and heaven is when you are all relaxed.

Total relaxation is paradise.
