Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia once went to meet Einstein. His wife had given him a time of eleven o'clock, telling him to arrive at eleven o'clock sharp; and any delay would cause trouble. So Lohia thought Einstein might have something very important to do after eleven. He rushed to reach there at eleven, but was only a minute late.
His wife said, "You missed it." But he replied, "Just one minute! I didn't even see him at the door. Where did he go?" He replied, "He went to the bathroom." He said, "What are you saying? I can wait." She said, "But there's no way to know when he'll leave." He asked, "How often does he take a bath in the bathroom?" She said, "There's no question of taking a bath! Many times he comes out without taking a bath! So what does he do in the bathroom? He does what he does 24 hours a day. He lies down in the tub and starts thinking. He forgets to take a bath!"
He left after six hours. He came out very happy. Some mathematical puzzle had been solved. Dr. Lohia asked, "Do you solve mathematical puzzles in the bathroom?" Einstein replied, "The theory of the expanding universe, which I developed, shows that the universe is constantly expanding; it is not static. Just as someone is blowing air into a balloon and the balloon keeps getting bigger, the universe is getting bigger; it is not static. The universe is getting bigger every day." Einstein's theory received support and was proven correct. Einstein said, "I came up with this theory while sitting in my bathroom tub, blowing soap bubbles. As the soap bubbles grew, I realized that the universe might be expanding.
The word 'Brahma' itself means expansion. The sages of this country have always said that the universe is expanding; it is not static." The very meaning of the universe is that which keeps expanding. That which never stops, that which keeps expanding. Whose nature is expansion.
But Einstein got this idea in his bathroom. Such people don't live in desires, they live in thoughts. There's a slight difference. Such people don't live in desires, they live in thoughts. For them, the formula "Stay between two desires" won't make much sense. For them, "Become aware of thoughts" will have more meaning.
So for the intellectual type, the rational type, whose way of life is to live in intellect, not in desires—intellect is also a desire, but there are many different ways of living—for them, the practice of thoughtlessness is necessary.
But most people don't live in thoughts; most people live in desires. Sometimes Einstein lived in thoughts. Most people live in desires. Even if you think, it's for some desire. And if a man like Einstein ever desires, it's for some idea.
