'let ripeness
appear in its own time'...

It will come in its own time.

What do you do when you watch a tree, an apple tree?... What do you do? You don't pull the fruits, you don't force, you just watch. You take care, every care that is needed - you protect the tree, you water the tree, you provide fertilizers and manure.

Everything that you cán do, you do. But what can you do to force? That is just helping the tree to ripen in its own time. Then the fruit comes, then you watch.One day it is ripe, sweet.

'let ripeness
appear in its own time'...

So Bauls are not for any sort of Yoga. They are against Yoga. That's why I told you in the beginning, that they belong to the tradition of Tantra, not to the tradition of Veda, Yoga - no.

In fact, the Bauls' tradition is more ancient...

than the tradition of Veda and Yoga.
