..., because in the East the thing is totally different. We have never taken mind seriously. We have always thought that there is something beyond mind - and unless that space beyond is found, mind cannot be controlled. Who will control it? Something higher than mind is needed, and Western psychology does not believe in anything higher than mind. Mind IS crazy. Then how to make this mind sane? It is...
..., "You have been speaking again and again against Adolf Hitler. Perhaps you don't know that he is a very religious person; he is the reincarnation of the Old Testament prophet Elijah. Please stop speaking against him." I told my secretary to write to him and say, "I will continue whatever I want to do. Nobody can dictate to me but I can see that you are utterly stupid: Elijah in the Old...
... your husband; there is no other god for you." Millions of women had to be ready to be burned with their dead husbands, because the husband was suspicious that after he has died, his woman may fall in love with somebody else. He wanted to dominate her even when he is dead, and the only way was that the wife also commits suicide. And those women who refused lost all their dignity in the society...
... - because they cannot exist on the vertical line. They can exist only in the darkness of the horizontal, where everybody is in competition, everybody is full of lust, full of will to power, a great desire to dominate, to become somebody special. On the vertical line all these stupidities simply disappear. You become so light, so weightless, just like a lotus flower: it is in the water, but the water does...
.... Things have gone too far, and it seems that only a great catastrophe will stop it. Not that I am pessimistic, but just the actuality is such. The whole world is ruled by fanatic, violent people. And it has always been ruled by them, because a peace-loving person does not bother to rule anybody. He has no political ambitions. So all ambitious people are mad and insane, and they are always in key...
... longer part of any society, any culture, any religion. He is spontaneous; that is his danger. For example, a Christian saint is supposed, when you slap him on one cheek, to give you the other cheek. Anybody doing that is certainly not a saint. He is simply following a rule. He is a follower, a blind follower - but he is a Christian saint. When you slap a real saint then it is absolutely unpredictable...
... 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...
