The first thing: a man is born only when he becomes decisive. With decision is the birth of man.Those who live in indecisiveness are not really men yet. And millions live in indecisiveness; they cannot decide about anything. They always lean upon others; somebody else should decide for them. Hence people hang around authorities.

Authoritativeness continues in the world for the single reason that millions of people cannot decide for themselves. They have always to be given an order. Once the order is given, they follow it. But this is slavery, this is how they are preventing the birth of their own soul. Decision should arise in
your being, because with decisiveness integrity arises. Remember, make a few decisions. 
Decisions will make you individual.

What is indecisiveness? It means you are a crowd; many voices in you are contradicting each other,and you cannot decide whether to go this way or that. Even in small things people are indecisive:whether to go to see this movie or that – and they are indecisive. Indecisiveness has become
almost their very style of life. To purchase this or to purchase that? Just watch people when they go shopping. See their indecisiveness. Just sit in any shop and just watch people coming and going – customers – and you will be surprised: people don’t know how to decide. And those who don’t know how to decide will remain vague, cloudy, confused. With decision comes clarity. And if the decision is far-reaching, if the decision has something to do with your foundations, certainly, one is born.

Now there are many people who come to me, and they say, ’We cannot decide whether to take the jump into sannyas or not.’ They want me to tell them to take the jump. But then they miss the whole point. If I say to you, ’Take the jump and become a sannyasin,’ you have missed an opportunity, a great opportunity, of taking a decision. Again you have leaned on somebody else, and that is not the way a soul grows. And this is a profound decision, of immense significance, because it is going to change your whole life style, it is going to give you a new vision. You will be moving in a new
direction, you will not be the same again. Such far-reaching decisions one should be capable of taking on one’s own. One should risk. Only with risk, with courage, is one born.
