... there will be problems. If you go to the monasteries you will find there all types of ill people. In fact, ill people only go there. A healthy person you will ask what he has to do in a monastery. Ill people go there, abnormal people go there. Something is basically wrong with them. That's why they escape from the world and go there. Patanjali makes it a first rule that you should be healthy, because...
... suppresses the illness. Then the illness tries some other weak point to come up. Then from somewhere else it explodes. Then you suppress it from there, then from somewhere else it explodes. But with allopathy, you go on from one illness to another, from another to another, but it is never-ending process. Ayurveda has a totally different concept. Illness should not be suppressed: it should be released. A...
... catharsis is needed. So Ayurvedic medicine is given to the ill person so that the illness comes up and is thrown out, a catharsis. So the beginning doses of Ayurvedic medicine may make you more ill, and it takes a long time because it is not a suppression. It cannot be done right now: it is a long process. The illness has to be thrown, and your inner energy has to become a harmony so the health comes from...
... all the religions insist on some sort of sexual control. It can become repressive, it can become dangerous. If new centers are not opening and you go on damming energy, condemning, forcing, repressing, then you are on a volcano. Any day you will explode; you will become neurotic. You are going to be mad. Then it is better to relieve it. But there are centers which can absorb the energy, and greater...
... ELEMENTS' POWER TO OBSTRUCT THE BODY. And then come the eight siddhis, eight powers, of yogis. The first IS anima, and then there is laghima and garima, etc. The eight powers of the yogi are that they can make their body disappear, or they can make their body so small, so small, that it becomes almost invisible, or they can make their bodies so big, as big as they want. It is under their control to make...
... all five elements. Now you are in a state from where you can control anything you wish. Just by the idea that you want to become small, you will become small; if you want to become big, you w ill become big; if you want to disappear, you can disappear. It is not necessarily so, that yogis should do it. Buddhas have never been known to do it. Patanjali himself has not been known to do it. What...
... said, "Nothing has to be done. The season of rains is going to start within two, three days...." And this was the rule of Buddhist monks, that in the rainy season they stopped in one place for four months; eight months in the year they were continually moving from one place to another, but for the four months of the rains it was absolutely necessary for them to stay somewhere where they...
... brings to you, all your service is very superficial. And there must be motivations in it which may not be apparent to ordinary people, but one who looks deep can see them immediately. Mother Teresa is serving orphans on the one hand; on the other hand she is against birth control, because if birth control is there, orphans will not be there. Orphans are absolutely needed; otherwise how will Mother...
... man of twenty. But do you think he will attain the maturity that he should have attained if he had passed through ten years of life? The struggle, the arising sex, the need to control, the need to love: to be free and yet controlled, to be free and yet centered; to move with the other, to suffer in love, to learn - all that will not be there. This man who looks twenty is really ten years of age...
... Buddha, but ask Buddha's father - he is against him. Ask Buddha's relatives - they are against him, because this man has gone beyond their control. Not only that: he is also helping others to go beyond the control of the society, of the family. The family is the basic unit of society. When you go beyond society you have to go beyond the family, but this does not mean that you should hate it - that is...
.... The politician and the priest HAVE to teach suppression,. because it is only through suppression that people are driven insane. And you can rule insane people more easily than sane people. And when people are insane in their sex energy, they start moving in other directions - money they will start moving towards, or power, or prestige. They have to show their sex energy somewhere or other; it is...
...; the spring comes and the grass grows by itself. That state - when you allow life to go on its own way, when you don't want to direct it, when you don't want to give any control to it, when you are not manipulating, when you are not enforcing any discipline on it - that state of pure undisciplined spontaneity, is what meditation is. Meditation is in the present, pure present. Meditation is immediacy...
... remained a slave. Very easily, it remained a slave. England is a very small country - there are a few districts in India which are bigger. England could rule over this big country easily; it was not difficult. Why? ... And these people believed that the soul is immortal! But the belief is not their experience, the belief is out of fear. Then everything is explained. These are cowardly people, afraid...
... submit and touch the feet. It is out of fear that man believes in immortality. It is out of fear that man believes in God. It is out of trembling. S??ren Kierkegaard is right about the ordinary mind. Another existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, says: "Man is condemned to be free." Why 'condemned'? Why this ugly word 'condemned'? Freedom - is it a kind of condemnation? Yes, for the...
...; it is not that a little bit you know and a little bit you don't know -- in this humbleness, in this acceptance that I don't know, the mysteries start happening. They happen in spite of you. You cannot manage -- they are not manageable, they are not under your control -- but once they start happening they make their way through you. Slowly, slowly the ice of your ego melts and a passage is made...
... night. The whole day to contain yourself, to resist the temptation...! In such a situation who is listening to what nonsense he is talking? You are trying to hold yourself so that in some unaware moment... And then it starts happening, because how long can you do it? Particularly women don't have any control on the bladder; man has a little control, but women don't have. So one woman starts pissing...
... existing like slaves. They don't have even voting power, only fifteen percent white people have the voting power. And pope is visiting South Africa and teaching those poor South Africans, "Don't use birth control methods. Don't use abortion, this is against God and this is a great sin." They are dying -- overpopulated, hungry, starving -- and this Polack comes there to teach them against birth...
... control. And in South Africa AIDS is one of the major problems right now. More blacks have been found to suffer from AIDS than white people. Perhaps it has something to do with their different physiology -- they have a little different physiology -- or perhaps it has to do something with their climate. Even three monkeys have been found in South Africa having AIDS. The scientists who have found these...
... becoming homosexual. Our monasteries are zoos. Our hostels of the universities and the colleges are zoos. Don't allow man and woman together and you are going to create perversions in their minds and then those people will suffer because of your strange doctrines, strange ideas. Now this is simply lunatic to teach people celibacy. It is almost saying people that you control pissing. And if somebody...
... world of birds, no bird would ever fly; they would all remain imprisoned in their nests. No bird would ever gather the courage, except a few crazy birds - a Buddha, a Jesus, a Zarathustra, a Lao Tzu. But they would not be the rule; they would only be the exceptions. And the priest will always be against them, remember. The priest was against Jesus, the priest was against the Buddha, the priest was...
... a particular place, I would like to die." Now there is a movement all around the world, particularly in the West - obviously, because in the East the problem is not death, the problem is birth... Here the question is how to stop birth, so we think of birth control. In the West the problem has moved to the other extreme. Now medicine has become capable of prolonging people's lives, the...
..., killing them mercilessly. The whole of Buddhism was uprooted from India, totally uprooted. You will be surprised to know that at the place where Buddha became enlightened, Bodh Gaya, the temple that is the memorial to his enlightenment is under the control of brahmin, because not even a single Buddhist was left to be a priest in the temple where Buddha became enlightened. The reason was that Buddha was...
... flowing. How can you stop it? The old methods are to repress, to control, but they have failed, utterly failed; they had failed even in Buddha's time. In a sense Buddha is the first psychologist of the world, not Sigmund Freud. And Buddha's insight into the mind is far deeper than all your psychologists put together. There is no way to get rid of the constant overpowering flood of mind energy, of...
... route; they will become even more subtle. Buddha says what is needed is more awareness, more understanding - neither repression nor control. If you can become aware of your desires, if you can watch your desires, then a miracle happens, the greatest miracle of all. The moment you become aware of your desires you can easily see that no desire can ever be fulfilled; its very nature is unfulfillable...
... desiring, you become aware of the absurd nature of desiring. You become aware that by their very nature desires are unfulfillable. Seeing this, a transformation happens, a miracle happens, a radical change sets in; but by seeing this - not by repression, not by control but by understanding. A violinist was convinced he could use his art in music to tame wild animals. So, violin in hand, he traveled to...
