..., there is concentration - abstract philosophy is born, science grows, and no becomes very important. Doubt becomes very significant. In the collective mind faith was the rule; in the individual mind doubt becomes the rule. No becomes very basic, because rebellion cannot exist without no, and the ego cannot grow and ripen without no. You have to say no to a thousand and one things, so that you can say...
... is the subtlest slavery yet invented by the priests and the politicians. It is like a Delgado electrode inserted in your head and manipulated by remote control. The society is very clever. First, it tries to keep you at the second level. If you go beyond that, then it starts manipulating you through flattery. You will be surprised that in India there has never been a revolution. And the reason? The...
... exception there but the rule. Love exaggerates because love has enthusiasm, because love has zest, gusto, and love speaks in metaphors because love is a poetic approach towards reality. WHY DID HE SAY IT ALL IN SUCH A ROUNDABOUT WAY, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT HE WAS TALKING TO THE COMMON PEOPLE? Yes, that's why, precisely that's why - because he was talking to the common people. And common people are...
... saying that 'Christ says "I will be with you, and I will remain responsible" - then how come he didn't help his own church, the infant church, and allowed Paul to dominate it, instead of making Peter the head of it? Where is he, and what is he doing?' He has committed a breach. He has betrayed, he has not been true to his word! He has not even helped his own church - and the church was infant...
.... That's why she makes it clear: 'infant church' - helpless. His help was needed! WITH THIS ASSURANCE THEN, HOW COME THE INFANT CHURCH RECEIVED PAUL INSTEAD OF PETER WHOM JESUS APPOINTED AS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH? Paul was a politician. and politicians dominate everything. Paul was a dangerous fellow, murderous. First he was trying to destroy Christianity - he was against Jesus, the arch-enemy - he was...
... be borrowed; it is always one's own. In spite of all efforts, you will remain what you innately are. Imitation is dangerous in many ways. To imitate someone you have to suppress yourself, suppress your individuality, your self-nature. And this suppression can be so deep that you will lose all con tact with yourself - which is the worst thing that can happen to any individual. Although you will yet...
... their repressed sexuality starts coming up, and they become frightened that, if it is allowed, they may do something. They are somehow controlling themselves. Now, here is a person who provokes them. Here are two persons in such a deep hug, they start losing control. The Indian mind has lived in control, discipline, character. It is a hypocritical mind. On the surface is control, deep down there are...
... polarity to another, it doesn't change anything. That's why all the revolutions in the past have failed - the French, the Russian, the Chinese, the Indian All the revolutions have failed because the pendulum simply moves to the opposite pole. Rich people were in domination - the czar was the dictator - now they are thrown; now the proletariat is in domination. In fact the same bourgeoisie, in the name of...
.... Follow the body. Never in any way try to dominate the body. The body is your foundation. Once you have started understanding your body, ninety-nine percent of your miseries will simply disappear. But you don't listen. The body says, "Stop! Don't eat!" You go on eating, you listen to the mind. The mind says, "It is very tasty, delicious. A little more." You don't listen to the body...
... LIFE IS JUST A MORSEL IN HIS MOUTH; HIS FEAST IS BOTH A WEDDING AND A WAKE. WHY SHOULD DARKNESS GRIEVE THE HEART? - FOR NIGHT IS PREGNANT WITH NEW DAY. YOU SAY YOU'VE UNROLLED THE CARPET OF TIME, STEP THEN BEYOND LIFE ITSELF AND REASON, TILL YOU ARRIVE AT GOD'S COMMAND. YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING, BEING BLIND BY NIGHT, AND BY DAY ONE-EYED WITH YOUR FOOLISH WISDOM! What is wisdom? It certainly is not...
... UNROLLED THE CARPET OF TIME, STEP THEN BEYOND LIFE ITSELF AND REASON, TILL YOU ARRIVE AT GOD'S COMMAND. How long have you lived in time? Millions of lives. If you trust the East, then eighty-four million lives. It is a long journey, you have unrolled the carpet of time long enough. Now be finished, now be a little more intelligent. Have you not learned any lesson? You have lived so long and you have done...
... seen that it keeps you in the old rut, be courageous - trust. Courage means trust, trust means courage. Take the risk: go beyond reason and go beyond life... TILL YOU ARRIVE AT GOD'S COMMAND. And if you can go beyond reason and beyond your so-called life, suddenly you are taken up, possessed by God. Then he starts living through you. Then you become a flute, a hollow bamboo, then he sings the song...
... I ALWAYS UNHAPPY? This 'I' is too much. And 'I' is the misery. When 'I' disappears, misery disappears. Bliss is the absence of the ego and nothing else. But if you believe too strongly in religion, your 'I' will become very, very strengthened. If you live a life of discipline, a life of control, your ego will become very decorated. If you follow all the rules of morality, naturally your ego will...
... DISCIPLINE. The word 'discipline' is very beautiful but it has become very, very wrongly associated with the idea of control. Discipline comes from the same root as disciple. Discipline means become a disciple. And disciple means nothing but the capacity to learn. A disciple is one who is ready to learn. A disciple is one who has an open mind. A disciple is one who has not become closed, who does not say...
... will not be responsible, then you will not be responding to the situation that is facing you, then you will have a ready-made rule - and then happiness is not possible. Happiness is a function of freedom. Only free people are happy people. Let this be remembered always and always: freedom brings bliss, freedom brings benediction. If you are unhappy that is simply logical. You have earned it. Now drop...
... I know that sometimes you co-operate, but your co-operation is also only co-operation in appearance. Deep down you remain resistant. Even while you surrender you go on looking from the corner of your eye - how far to go? And you go only so far, and you go with absolute control that if it is needed you can go back. Your surrender is not a journey of no return. And unless it is a journey of no...
... advice, it is just to help you so that you don't become burdened with guilt. Otherwise there is nothing.... You have to feel that you have not been able to fulfil, that something has been missed, but it is not a question of guilt. You have missed something, that is enough punishment. So if it happens sometimes, it's okay, but it should not be the rule, it is just the exception. But whenever something...
... exist there. Domination, possessiveness, jealousy, and all kinds of poisons are there which destroy love. Just as a certain poison can destroy your vision, so the poison of possessiveness and jealousy destroys love. Love is a very fragile flower. It has to be protected, it has to be strengthened, it has to be watered; only then does it become strong. And the child's love is very fragile - naturally...
... things; somebody comes and supplies you. It is a con game. The second question Question 2: DOES ANYTHING OR ANYONE NEED CORRECTION? IT PUZZLES ME. PREM TUSHEER, NOBODY NEEDS CORRECTION. And who is going to correct? The moment it is said that somebody needs correction, sooner or later somebody is needed to dominate you, to manipulate you, to make a slave out of you. That's why leaders down the ages have...
... you will sit strained, still, in control, holding, trying to sit silently and not do anything - and boiling within, to do a thousand and one things, and thousands of thoughts will clamour around, will distract you. Can you just sit and do nothing? That is the ultimate. That's what nirvana is, samadhi is. It can happen; just listening to me also it can happen, but great intelligence is needed then...
... it!" Or your teachers correcting. They have created such a rift in you that you have become two. This WHOLE society exists in a kind of schizophrenia. Every person is split. This society has tried the trick of divide and rule. It has divided every person into two: the correcter and the one who has to be corrected. So everybody has become like a small student and the headmaster - both are there...
... "to govern his desires" because that means repression, that means control. He can only say: WHEN A MAN IS CONSTANTLY ABLE TO understand HIS DESIRES, HIS MIND BECOMES SPONTANEOUSLY STILL. Only understanding is needed; nothing else ever helps. If you understand a desire it disappears. Desires are like darkness: you bring light and darkness disappears. You need not throw it out, you need not...
... ear the desire for music arises, from the nose the desire for nice smells arises, from the tongue the desire for taste, and from the whole skin the desire to touch - these are the five traditional senses - and from the sixth sense the desire to remain in control, balanced. If somebody hits your ear hard you will lose balance; you will see stars in the day. These six desires no longer arise. Not that...
.... And these people can talk about morality and discipline easily; they can teach others how to control their sexuality very easily, but in fact what they are doing is nothing but a perversion of sex. And these people become very violent; they are violent - they keep the whole world always on the brink of war. When sex becomes perverted, love becomes hatred. Nothing is wrong with sex, but everything is...
