The mind is a manipulator.
In the name of good, in the name of doing good, it tries to manipulate; it is a politician.
A wife says, Because you are smoking I will have to fight with
you; you have to change your smoking, this is not good, you are destroying your health –
you; you have to change your smoking, this is not good, you are destroying your health –
And I have seen that a nagging wife destroys health more than any smoking.
And the wife goes on nagging, and she says, It is because of your health – I love you.
And for thirty years she has been nagging.
Now they have been experimenting on nagging; and a very rare phenomenon has been revealed.
They have tried it on the food that you eat: bread, butter, vegetables, fruit juice; they have put the fruit juice and the other food on a tray and the wife is nagging and screaming:
it destroys the juice – on the tray!
it destroys the juice – on the tray!
The juice becomes toxic, poisonous.
So just think what will be happening in the stomach, because on the tray everything is still non organic, dead in a way.
The juice in a glass is destroyed, so what will be happening to the juice in the stomach?
Because then it has become part of your life stream, it is more alive.
Because then it has become part of your life stream, it is more alive.
Nagging destroys life, health – and your wife is nagging for your health because you are smoking.
If she really loves you how can she nag?
Impossible.
How can she scream?
How can she scream?
She will simply love you, and she will love you so much and so deeply that the need for smoking will disappear.
In fact, people smoke because they have not really been deeply kissed.
If they are deeply kissed, with tremendous love flowing,
Smoking will disappear.
Smoking will disappear.
