The way you walk, it seems as if you are drunk.
What is the truth?
Man, I am drunk!
But not drunk with ordinary alcohol,
marijuana, hashish,
opium,
LSD.
I grow my own marijuana within me.
No government can interfere into it.
My source of drunkenness
is my silence,
my love,
my centeredness,
my rootedness into myself.
Yes, I walk like a drunkard because I am a drunkard.
You have observed truly.
Once you know
the inner serenity,
a gap between you and your body arises,
a gap between you and your mind arises.
That creates my bobbily walking.
Nothing can be done about it.
It is not a medical question,
it is
natural
to anyone
who is enlightened.
Mostly
enlightened people die immediately after enlightenment,
for the simple reason
because they cannot manage any connection
with their body and mind.
It is very rare
that somebody
goes on living after enlightenment.
But one has to compromise.
That bobbiling is the compromise.
