... dominate, one wants to possess, one wants to be the decisive factor in people's lives. These are the qualities of the ego. Obviously this type of person cannot be religious because religion is basically the experience of egolessness. In religion there is no place for will-to-power. In fact, in religion there is no place even for will. Will-to- power is far away; even will-to-be is not there. One is in...
... women in the day, but he has no control over his unconscious in the night. That's why all the saints of all religions have been afraid of sleep. They go on cutting their sleep: four hours, three hours - the less you sleep, the greater spiritual quality you have. But the basic reason for cutting sleep was that that sleep was full of Arabian Nights. The whole day they were fighting against the woman or...
.... To say no amongst that crowd would have created difficulties for them. Yes was simply the accepted rule of the game. They have worshipped, they have prayed, not knowing why they were doing it. But everybody else is doing it so it must be right. When the crowd changed - for example in Russia, the same people who were so certain of God became uncertain. It took ten years to change from one certainty...
... is yes. What kind of freedom is this? Puppets cannot have freedom. And if God has simply made you, you are a puppet. It is better to revolt against God and be a being than to submit and be a part of a puppet show - because the moment you accept yourself as a puppet, you have committed suicide. You see puppets the whole world over, with different colors, different names, different rituals. Hindus...
... rusty old Volkswagen. He was dreaming about better lifestyles when suddenly a beautiful new car passed him. The car was going very fast, and just after passing him it lost control and crashed into a tree. The Jew in the old car slammed on his brakes, pushing his feet through the floor in his exuberance. The beautiful car was completely destroyed; the driver was scratched and bruised but alive. The Jew...
... omnipotent - and he is finished by giving birth to only one son in all eternity? And I don't think he knows anything about birth control methods, because they were not in existence in the beginning when he was creating the world. He himself never created them. Neither does God exist, nor are there messengers of God, nor are there prophets of God, nor are there only begotten sons of God. All these people...
... start thinking how much to breathe and whether it is right to breathe while you are sleeping. It looks a little odd doing two things together - sleeping and breathing. Breathing seems to be a kind of disturbance in sleeping. But then the sleep will be eternal! Your heartbeat, your blood circulation are not under your control. Nature has kept everything that is essential in its own hands. You are not...
... given all respect, because the false is created by the society. The real is denied any respectability, because the real comes from nature - which is beyond the control of any society, culture or civilization. Each child has to be trained in lies, has to be programmed in such a way that he will be subservient to the society, a docile slave. All societies are breaking the very spine of every child so he...
... happens when you are not desiring? It doesn't mean that you kill yourself, suppress yourself; it doesn't mean that you kill your desires. The point has to be understood deeply, because this has happened. Scriptures say, those who have known say: When you are desireless, the divine happens to you. Then the mind jumps, just like a cat jumping on a mouse, catches hold of this desirelessness and says: Okay...
... is asking. Who is saved by Jesus? He could not save himself, and at the last moment on the cross he became utterly disillusioned. Very few people have lived in such deep illusions as Jesus Christ, because he believed he is the only begotten son of God. What happened? - God started using birth control methods? Why only one begotten son? The reality is, Jesus was not the son of his own father, Joseph...
