“Close your eyes, and just put the chili on the tongue, the candy on…”

Close your eyes, and just put the chili on the tongue, the candy on your tongue on two ends and just feel the experience. Both will be same. Just touch and feel what is happening in both places, points, both will be same. It is ‘you’ who stamp it ‘hot’, ‘sweet.’ That’s all. You are so unconscious; you go on stamping the experiences. We go on doling the experiences as a joy or pain.

For example a small thing, let you understand this small story:

One elderly man has gone to next city and he’s coming back to his village. Suddenly he saw from distance his house is getting burned. He started shouting, ‘Oh, what is happening, what is happening? I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.’ His son said, ‘Don’t worry father, yesterday we sold that house, don’t you remember? Yesterday itself we have signed, we have sold that house, don’t you remember?’ He said, ‘Ah, yeh, yes.’ Then he’s immediately liberated. He started, ‘Oh, bah, there’s no problem, don’t worry, relax.’

Then the second son said, ‘No, no, we’ve not yet got the payment. What are you talking? What are you doing? How do you think you have sold? You have not yet got the payment, only you have signed.’ Then again the man says, ‘Oh, yes, yes, oohhh. What is happening, my house is getting burned.’ And he started weeping and wailing. The fourth son said, ‘No, no father don’t worry I already went up to that person and he has already deposited money this today morning and he cannot take it back. It is already sold.’ Then he said, ‘Aahh, I am liberated.’

You see, in half an hour three different moods. The same house is burning, the same person is seeing. In half an hour he enjoyed the deep pain, deep pleasure, again deep pain again deep pleasure; just the idea mind and not mind, just the idea. See the pain and the pleasure is your rubber stamp, just your idea. Incident is same. Person is same. The house which is burning is same. The person who is seeing is same. Just the ideas: tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck see? What is happening? That is what is life. So pain and pleasure are both your psychodrama, nothing else.

Note: doweling? Doling? Means to give out. Unclear. Fourth son, should be third.
