The original source of all tension is 'becoming'. One is always trying to be something; no one is at ease with himself as he is. The being is not accepted, the being is denied, and something else is taken as an ideal to become. So the basic tension is always between that which you are, and that which you long to become.

The Psychology of the Esoteric.

In a moment of feeling, you function as a totality. When you think, you function only as the head. When you are sentimental, you function only as the heart. Remember, sentimentality is not feeling, emotionalism is not feeling. Thinking, you are a head-just a part pretending to be the whole. Of course it is false. This perspective is false. Emotional, sentimental, you are the heart- again another part pretending to be the whole, another servant pretending to be the master. Again it is false. Feeling is of the total-of the body, of the mind, of the soul. Feeling knows no division; feeling is indivisible. When you feel, you function as a totality. When you function as a totality you function in tune with the totality. Let me repeat it: when you function as a totality you function in tune with the totality. When you function as a part you have fallen apart; you are no longer in tune with the total. When you are no longer in tune with the total, what so ever you think you know is false, illusory. When you are in tune with the total, you know that you don't know anything. But even this' not knowing' is a knowing it is a feeling, it is a love affair with the whole. OSHO.
