... are all Jonahs with lives to live in accordance with the will of God, and at all times when we seek to escape the present duty of living by running away to far-off enticements, we thereby put ourselves in the immediate control of those influences which are not directed by the powers of truth and the forces of righteousness. The flight from duty is the sacrifice of truth. The escape from the service...
... stabilized control by the energy and spirit of the Supreme. 5. On the Island of Crete (1436.2) 130:5.1 The travelers had but one purpose in going to Crete, and that was to play, to walk about over the island, and to climb the mountains. The Cretans of that time did not enjoy an enviable reputation among the surrounding peoples. Nevertheless, Jesus and Ganid won many souls to higher levels of thinking and...
... rather than your being, as you have been, its abject fear-slave and the bond servant of depression and defeat. But most valuable of all, your potential of real achievement is the spirit which lives within you, and which will stimulate and inspire your mind to control itself and activate the body if you will release it from the fetters of fear and thus enable your spiritual nature to begin your...

... creatures, the power whereby you abide immanent! God has made the sun and the stars; he is bright, pure, and self-existent. His eternal knowledge is divinely wise. The Eternal is unpenetrated by evil. Inasmuch as the universe sprang from God, he does rule it appropriately. He is the cause of creation, and hence are all things established in him. (1448.2) 131:4.3 “God is the sure refuge of every good man...
... adorable and divine Vivifier; let his spirit fully direct our thoughts. From this unreal world lead us to the real! From darkness lead us to the light! From death guide us to immortality! (1448.3) 131:4.4 “With our hearts purged of all hate, let us worship the Eternal. Our God is the Lord of prayer; he hears the cry of his children. Let all men submit their wills to him, the Resolute. Let us delight in...
... perfecting them. And it is a mystery how the Supreme fosters, protects, and perfects the creature without compelling him. He guides and directs, but without self-assertion. He ministers progression, but without domination. (1452.2) 131:8.4 “The wise man universalizes his heart. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

... Jesus withdrew to a sheltered nook of the garden and engaged in serious thought for a few brief moments. He finally decided that the episode was beyond his personal control under the circumstances and, not being adverse to his Father’s will, was inevitable. When he returned to the people, they regarded him with awe; they all believed in him as the Messiah. But Jesus was sorely perplexed, knowing that...
... group of intense Jewish patriots. They advocated that any and all methods were justified in the struggle to escape the bondage of the Roman yoke. (1535.2) 137:7.10 The Herodians were a purely political party that advocated emancipation from the direct Roman rule by a restoration of the Herodian dynasty. (1535.3) 137:7.11 In the very midst of Palestine there lived the Samaritans, with whom “the Jews...
... of time between the establishment of the kingdom in the soul of man and that hour when the kingdom ripens into the full fruit of everlasting righteousness and eternal salvation. (1536.10) 137:8.13 “And this kingdom which I declare to you is not a reign of power and plenty.

..., the subtle nuances of your innermost being, the ego becomes powerless, loses its domination over you. You are asking, "Is there a right way to expose oneself to a master?" Every way is right as far as exposing yourself is concerned. Expose in any way - but expose! Open your windows and doors, become vulnerable. All ways of opening are right, and all ways of closing yourself are wrong...
..., Ivan the Terrible, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Ronald Reagan... Do you call them dacoits, Vikings, or not? Just because they are clever enough to befool the masses, clever enough to dominate nations.... Napoleon Bonaparte used to say, "My word is the law." All these people, whether they say it or not, know perfectly well that they decide the rules of the game. Anybody who...
... power, rather than changing the society, are changed by power. It has happened so often that you cannot simply ignore it as an exception; it is the rule. Here in India, we have seen this country struggle for freedom and sacrifice its best people - like Bhagat Singh and Subhash Bose - thousands, with a great dream that freedom would bring happiness to the people. The hope could not be denied because...
... strategy by the society to keep everybody under control. And it is such a subtle way that nobody thinks - at least in the beginning - that it is going to be an imprisonment, a lifelong slavery. But marriage has been used by all the societies in the world, in all the ages past, as a psychological imprisonment; putting so much burden and responsibility on every individual that he has to kneel down, and in...
..., have become beggars; millions of children have become orphans, have become beggars, have become criminals; millions of women have become prostitutes. And the whole responsibility goes to the religions because they honored the escapists. Just to keep the society under control, they had to give a little outlet so the suffocation does not become too much. And they had to make this escapism prestigious...
... that unless you beat your wife once in a while, you will lose control over her. It is absolutely according to religious scriptures, it is not a sin or a crime to beat your wife once in a while - that keeps peace in the house. It would have been perfectly right if they had said that the wife is also allowed, once in while, to beat the husband; then it would have kept more peace in the house. If peace...
... Christian, the idea that somebody says, "I am God," is very shocking. I have told you about the story - it happened in Baghdad in the days of Khalif Omar. He is the most famous Khalif of the Mohammedans, and he is thought to be a very understanding and very moderate, liberal man. But you will see his liberality in the story. A man is brought to him who has been declaring in the marketplace...
..., no sleep. And after the seventh day I will come to the jail to inquire whether he has changed his mind or not." And this is a liberal, moderate, considerate, very understanding Mohammedan! What to say about the fanatic? Just don't talk about the fanatic. And the soldiers did what they were told. After seven days Omar arrived. The man was just wounds and more wounds - blood and nothing else. He...
... that Krishna was a prophet of God, he had to submit unwillingly, reluctantly. This was the book he was reading day and night. He even made a commentary on it, and naturally he was in a difficulty - how to make any sense of nonviolence in a book which is completely based on violence? So he says it is only a metaphor, that the war never did happen. That is the strategy that he takes in his commentary...
... will take a long time to find a way; perhaps a month at the most. So nobody need worry about it. We will soon have our own place which will not be under any country's rule. And I want a totally new experiment that has not happened in history. There have been anarchists - their philosophy is one of the best. But it is so good that it becomes impossible to make it real; it remains utopian. Prince...
... there because man is not able to remain ungoverned. He needs somebody to keep him in control; otherwise he will be violent and he will do every nasty thing that is possible. The government exists because man needs it. The government is ugly; it should not exist, but what can be done? If you have cancer then somebody has to do the surgery. We don't want surgeons in the world, but if cancer continues to...
... which are absolutely without any control by any government. A few are very undeveloped, so it will be a difficult job to develop them. But there are three islands which are fully developed; one has even an airport - it belongs to an individual who is willing to sell it. The situation is such - there are five miles of land which is lush green with big trees... immense beauty. It is almost an oval...
... bondage, once it becomes non-physical - then it is the love of Jesus or the compassion of Buddha. The West is much obsessed today because of Christianity. Two thousand years of Christian suppression of sex energy has made the Western mind too much obsessed with it. First, for two thousand years the obsession was how to kill it. You cannot kill it. No energy can be killed - energy can only be transformed...
... years, Christianity was trying to destroy sex energy. Religion consisted of becoming absolutely without sex. That created a madness. The more you fight, the more you suppress, the more sexual you become. And then sex moves deeper into the unconscious. It poisons your whole being. So if you read the lives of Christian saints, you will see they are obsessed with sex. They cannot pray, they cannot...
... meditate. Whatsoever they do, sex comes in. And they think that the devil is playing tricks. Nobody is playing tricks. If you suppress, YOU are the devil. After two thousand years of continuous sex-repression, the West became fed up with it. It was too much. The whole wheel turned. Now, instead of repression, indulgence, to indulge in it became the new obsession. From one pole the mind moved to the other...
..., their suppression and exploitation. But these Buddhists - they have lost that. And the constitution was made by the same man who turned these poor people into Buddhists. But George Bernard Shaw is right. And these people have remained under slavery, like cattle, just because they have become Buddhists on political grounds. I repeat it, because Doctor Ambedkar first thought to convert these people, his...
... are also an unconscious being, desiring to be respected by the idiots. I don't consider anybody. It is enough for me to look into myself. Spontaneity, to me, is the only virtue, awareness the only religion. And only weaklings, cowards, consider others. Maneesha, it is the same syndrome: bigotry, prejudice, and a dictatorial attitude. But nobody can dictate anything to me. If this mad society wants...
... to kill me, they can kill me - but they cannot dictate to me. It is time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh. When a husband comes home unexpectedly, a French wife says, "Pierre, move over; my husband is home!" A German wife says, "Fritz, you are two minutes early!" An English wife says, "Hullo, darling. May I introduce Gilbert?" A Greek wife says, "Hi, Spyro! The back...
... consists of many elements which are dangerous to you. It sorts out only those which are nourishing to life and breathes out all that is dangerous to you, particularly carbon dioxide. The wisdom of the body has not been appreciated by any religion of the world. Your wisest people were no wiser than your body. Its functioning is so perfect - its understanding has been kept completely out of your control...
... because your control could have been destructive. So the first part of your life and being is your body. The body is real, authentic, sincere. There is no way to corrupt it, although all the religions have been trying to corrupt it - they teach you fasting which is against nature and against the needs of the body, and a man who can fast longer becomes a great saint. I will call him the greatest fool who...
..., mystics. But you are not aware of it. It has been kept outside of your control; otherwise there is every danger you will destroy yourself. So I teach you, first, a deep respect, love and gratitude for your body. That will be the fundamental of the psychology of the buddhas, of the psychology of the awakened ones. The second thing after the body is your mind. Mind is simply a fiction. It has been used...
