´When the body is in a whirlpool, is simply moving,
enjoying movement, suddenly you can become aware of the inner
witness who is a non-mover, who has never moved, who is the
unmoving centre of the moving world. But when the body is in
movement you can see it in contrast. Ordinarily we move - we
walk, we talk, we take a bath, we go to sleep - but these
movements have become routine. When you are in a dance and you
go faster and faster and faster, and a moment comes when the
movement is no more routine; suddenly you are going absolutely
crazy - you become aware of the non-moving inside you. You see
your own body moving. You become a witness; you start hovering
beyond the body. That's why the Sufis became so interested in
the whirling dervish dance. The more you whirl, the easier it is
to know the non-moving centre inside you.
So start dancing...
