There are two types of people who make up the
majority of the global populace. People who have high energy and those with low
energy. We will have observed children who have very high energy and as an
outlet, if they don’t have any physical activity to burn that energy, they end
up doing damaging mischief. When we have excess energy and we cannot use it
creatively, it becomes destructive, stagnant, and by and by a prison of solid
rock is created around us.
There are two types of people - those with high
energy and those with low energy. If the high energy people don’t use their
energy there will be problems - aggression, anger - anger for no reason at all,
and against any and everybody - violence, hatred, jealousy.
Low energy people have a different type of problem
- sadness, lethargy, a lack of interested in life, and a dragging and dull
attitude. So, the problems of a low energy person need to be tackled in a
different way. Such people need more relaxation, and methods which don’t use
energy, but rather allow them to relax into the non-tense so that energy is not
dissipated in any way. Buddhist methods, Vipassana, are for low energy people.
For high energy persons such methods will be a problem. They would not know
what to do - so much energy and nothing to do, so the energy becomes
suppressed. Dynamic methods and catharsis are for high energy people.
The East is basically low energy: poverty,
malnutrition, and centuries and centuries of passivity. The West is high
energy. We can divide it into male and female, yin and yang. Male means a high
energy person, and female means a low energy person – it has nothing to do with
man and woman. So, we are high energy persons, remember that always. Whenever we
feel any problem arising, that is simply an indication that we need more work,
more creativity. It doesn’t matter what we do, but do something physical -
anything physical is beautiful. If we don’t, then the mind uses the energy in
circles - round and round.
By and by, as we grow up and start meditating,
this energy is turned inwards and helps in keeping us balanced as well as
energised. A glow appears around the person and that energy is palpable and can
be felt by others.
