Rest should be the criterion of power. A man of power is absolutely at rest, he has no restlessness in him. Because restlessness is nothing but dissipation of energy. When you are feeling restless, you are dissipating energy.
You create energy everyday, a tremendous amount of it, but you waste- sometimes in anger, sometimes in sexuality, sometimes in greed, sometimes in competition, sometimes for no reason at all…. just because you have it, what to do with it? When you do not put your energy to any purpose whatsoever, then energy itself starts moving upwards. If you put it in work, some action, it moves in a horizontal line. So, when you simply take delight in the presence of the energy in you, you do not put it to any work, you are happy that it is there, it moves vertically upwards. Do work, but let for some periods your energy move vertically too. It is necessary for life- you cannot live by bread alone. So, sometimes just sit, do nothing. And something grows within you. You become a reservoir, you start throbbing with an unknown delight. When you are full of energy, then you are in contact with the whole.
