Enjoyment always comes – when your individuality is challenged and you have to prove yourself or when you have to respond to a challenge, intelligence or emotion when challenged create their own bliss.
A person becomes schizophrenic if only one part of his personality is working and the other is dead. Then even the part that is working will not be really working well due to overwork. It cannot work because personality is a totality, it is not divided – it has no division at all.
Actually the whole personality is a flowing energy. When energy is used logically, it becomes intelligence and when used, not logically but emotionally, it becomes the heart. These are not two separate things but the same energy is challenged through different channels.
Energy can never be stagnant. Energy means – that which is not stagnant – that which is always flowing. So relaxation does not mean energy-stagnant or energy- asleep. Relaxation scientifically means energy in another channel, another dimension, in another room.
Even if the room is different but not the very opposite, the mind will not relax. You work on a scientific problem, and then you can relax by reading a novel. The work is different. As to deal with a scientific problem is to be active – a very masculine trait – to read a novel is to be passive – an absolutely feminine trait. The work is different, and although the mind is used, all the same you will be at ease, as another and opposite pole of the mind is used. You are not solving anything, you are not active. You are just a receptor – receiving something.
The dimension is the same, only emotion – the opposite polarity is brought into use. Similarly when we love, the intellect does not come into play at all. Rather, quite the opposite; the irrational part of your personality comes into action.
Intelligence must be balanced by love. But ordinarily this balance is not found anywhere. If someone is loving and he is not intelligent this too becomes a case of boredom. Even love becomes a tension if it is a twenty- four hour business. It will create its own boredom. Once the challenge is lost, the enjoyment too will be lost. The ‘play’ will be lost and it will become – just work. The same happens with the intellectual. These two parts, two polarities of the human individuality must be in balance.
Only then the integrated and individuated being is born.
