... hand and on the other hand makes you feel dependent. And nobody wants to be dependent; hence there is a constant struggle between lovers: they are trying to dominate each other. The name is love, but the game is politics. The very effort of man is to dominate the woman, to reduce her to an inferior status, not to allow her to grow, so she always remains retarded. For thousands of years, what man has...

... as a human being equal to himself. One of the Hindu saints - I don't call him a saint, but Hindus worship him, read his book more than that of any other saint - is Tulsidas. He condemns woman in such ugly terms. He says if you want to remain in control of a woman, you have to beat her once in a while; any excuse will do. Keep her afraid. She should not be given any equality, any friendship. And...

... everything that the society wants: exploitation, manipulation, domination, obedience, dependence, sacrifice - the list can be miles long. If the heart is allowed to grow side by side with the mind, the mind cannot manage to do atrocities, murders. But even religious leaders are not ready for the heart. They talk about love, but it is all talk, mere talk. They have destroyed the source from where love...
...? First we must know how thoughts are born and only then can we stop them from coming into being. Generally so-called seekers begin to suppress thoughts before they understand how they are born. Some of them my go crazy trying but none of them; will ever be free of thoughts. The suppression of thoughts does not help because new thoughts arise every moment. They are like those giants of mythology who...

... process goes on creating fresh thoughts and at the same time tries to resist them. Instead of thoughts coming to an end, the consequence is that the person fighting them breaks down himself. Again I repeat: thoughts are not the problem but the birth of thoughts is the problem. How they are born is the problem. If we can stop their coming into being, if we can exercise thought birth-control, the thoughts...

...- lived so before one thought dies away we transform another experience into thoughts. This process continues throughout our lifetimes. And we are so filled with words and so overwhelmed by them that we lose ourselves in them. To give up the habit of wrapping our vision and our experiences in words is to control the birth of thoughts. Please understand this. I am looking at you, and if I just keep on...

THUS ALL THAT IS PAST IS HANDED OVER: FOR THE MOB COULD ONE DAY BECOME MASTER, AND ALL TIME BE DROWNED IN SHALLOW WATERS. THEREFORE, O MY BROTHERS, IS A NEW NOBILITY NEEDED: TO OPPOSE ALL MOB-RULE AND ALL DESPOTISM AND TO WRITE ANEW UPON NEW LAW-TABLES THE WORD: 'NOBLE'. FOR MANY NOBLEMEN ARE NEEDED, AND NOBLEMEN OF...

... center in your mind - it is a biological remote control system.The person who has cut his genitals off will still dream about women - even more so. And the women were not going to remain behind. They don't have genitals to cut off; so they started cutting off their breasts. And they were also worshiped. The sect was spreading far and wide in Russia. It was the revolution that stopped it; otherwise, the...

... THE OTHER DANGER... HE WHO IS OF THE MOB REMEMBERS BACK TO HIS GRANDFATHER - WITH HIS GRANDFATHER, HOWEVER, TIME STOPS. THUS ALL THAT IS PAST IS HANDED OVER: FOR THE MOB COULD ONE DAY BECOME MASTER, AND ALL TIME BE DROWNED IN SHALLOW WATERS. THEREFORE, O MY BROTHERS, IS A new nobility NEEDED: TO OPPOSE ALL MOB-RULE AND ALL DESPOTISM AND TO WRITE ANEW UPON NEW LAW-TABLES THE WORD: 'NOBLE...

... EXIST! OR, AS I ONCE SAID IN A PARABLE: 'PRECISELY THIS IS GODLINESS, THAT THERE ARE GODS BUT NO GOD!' We need such noble people, such superhuman beings, which can be called a despot, a dictator-god - a diffused godliness. And you have to see how ignoble our acts have been. The people who crucified Jesus - was that a noble act? It was the rule of the mob. Jesus had not done any crime; he had not...

... little or no control. The farmer found himself the victim of drought, floods, hail, storms, pests, and plant diseases, as well as heat and cold. And as all of these natural influences affected individual prosperity, they were regarded as good luck or bad luck. (951.2) 86:1.6 This notion of chance and luck strongly pervaded the philosophy of all ancient peoples. Even in recent times in the Wisdom of...

.... Modern men, at least those who think, no longer pay wasteful premiums to control luck. Religion is slowly ascending to higher philosophic levels in contrast with its former function as a scheme of insurance against bad luck. (956.6) 86:7.3 But these ancient ideas of religion prevented men from becoming fatalistic and hopelessly pessimistic; they believed they could at least do something to influence...

... fate. The religion of ghost fear impressed upon men that they must regulate their conduct, that there was a supermaterial world which was in control of human destiny. (956.7) 86:7.4 Modern civilized races are just emerging from ghost fear as an explanation of luck and the commonplace inequalities of existence. Mankind is achieving emancipation from the bondage of the ghost-spirit explanation of ill...
... something lower than themselves, something smaller than themselves. You can control the smaller, you can dominate the smaller, and you can feel very good with the inferior because you look superior - then the ego is fulfilled. And once you start creating ego out of your love, then you are bound for hell. Love something higher, something bigger, something in which you will be lost and which you cannot...

... control; you can only be possessed by it but you cannot possess it. Then the ego disappears, and when love is without the ego, it is prayer. Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... the guy, opens his huge jaws, and - snap - swallows the poor musician in one bite. The other animals are furious. "Look here, you idiot," roars the lion. "We were enjoying that!" The crocodile looks at him blankly, puts a hand to his ear and says, "What?!" At the Russian Intercontinental Nuclear Missile Control Center, a drunken soldier is dusting the missile control...

... panel. Suddenly an enraged Russian general comes puffing and panting into the room. "What are you doing, you son-of-a-bitch?" he shouts. "I am dusting the control panel," hiccups the soldier drunkenly. "Okay," snaps the general, "then where the hell has England gone?" Henri, the gallant Frenchman, has a new girlfriend called Sylvie, and he is crazy about her...
... in the wake of a weightless person. So the primary issue is to annihilate the ego within. There is only one way to annihilate the ego. The Vedas have referred to it as rit; Lao Tzu calls it tao; Buddha has called it dhamma; Mahavira's word is dharma; Nanak refers to it as hukum - divine order. He who conducts himself according to His command without making a single movement on his own, with no...

... desires or feelings of his own, or need to introduce his own self, is alone the religious man. And he who puts himself under His command attains all; there is nothing left to be attained. To obey His command is the gateway to His heart. To believe in oneself is to turn your back on God; obey His will, and you face Him again. You may lead your life with your back to the sun and you will never be able to...

... we have done nothing to earn this vast existence that we have attained unasked and undeserved, and yet there is no sign of gratefulness within us! Nanak says we cannot exhaust Him even by partaking of Him for infinite ages. The divine order shows the way through His command. Here is a very deep clue, a critical part of Nanak's thoughts: He governs the world through His commands and is forever...

... ordering you. Had you the slightest ability to listen, you could understand His command and flow accordingly. But you never listen! You go to steal. He tells you inside, "Don't, don't!", twice, a thousand times. But you do as you please. The voice gradually becomes weaker and weaker until you become deaf towards it. Then you don't hear Him at all though He keeps calling. There is not a single...

... UNIVERSE TURN. This is why Nanak calls Him the ordainer - for it is His order that comes. The consciousness that is within your heart is the instrument that brings His voice to you. He speaks through your consciousness. Before doing anything, close your eyes and listen to Him. If you obey His command, bliss will shower on your existence. To go against it is to create your own hell, by your own hands...

... imperative to know His command. We must know what He wishes, what is His will. HE IS THE ORDAINER AND BY HIS ORDER DOES THE UNIVERSE TURN. SAYS NANAK, HE IS WITHOUT A CARE, ENDLESSLY BLISSFUL. He keeps on giving but expects nothing in return - not even an answer. He keeps calling out to you whether you hear or not. He does not care, He does not worry that you do not listen. He never feels He should stop...
..., shoutings - as if the whole world is responsible for your poverty. Nobody is except you. Stop shouting. Stop all your nonsense slogans. Start doing something. And if somebody tries to do something, you go against him. Just a few days before, I had spoken and I had said that India needs a compulsory birth control plan - compulsory birth control. Many letters immediately arrived. Compulsory birth control...

... control?" I am not cruel. I am being compassionate. If you create twenty children, as you have become accustomed to, then there will be real cruelty. By the end of this century you will not have any place to stand alone. It will always be crowded, and everywhere. From where are you going to feed so many people? You are hungry already. Seventy-five per cent of Indians are starving already. By the...

... because you are saying compulsory birth control is needed." And what was happening in the past? There was no birth control, but eighteen children were dying out of twenty. Do you think that was compassionate? And God was imposing war on you, great illnesses, calamities like earthquakes, fires, floods. Those were God's ways in the past to keep your population limited, so that it did not go beyond...

... the possible means to feed people. Compulsory birth control is very compassionate. If you want the world again to be a victim of floods and fires and earthquakes and great wars, then it is perfectly okay, go on producing. Now this is what I call the rotten mind: not ready to change at all, would like to persist in its old ways, and then shouting. And because of these long, long conditionings, you...
... ADVERSE EFFECT. IF YOU TELL THE MAN YOUR REASON HE WILL IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE EXCUSING YOURSELF, AND THIS WILL AROUSE IN HIM SENTIMENTS WHICH ARE HARMFUL ONLY TO HIM. THUS, BY EXPLAINING, YOU ARE ACTUALLY ACTING TO HIS DETRIMENT.' AMINI SAID, 'ARE THERE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE - THAT MAN MUST LEARN THROUGH REALISING HIS OWN STATE, AND THAT HIS STATE CANNOT BE EXPLAINED TO HIM?' AJNABI SAID, 'THERE ARE...

... wife is walking with you and there is no smell from her body, and suddenly a man passes by and she gives the signal. And those are very unconscious signals; you cannot control them suddenly. Then you will become aware that she is interested in the other man, that she is welcoming the other man. That will create trouble. So down the centuries man has destroyed smell completely. It is not just...

... ways. Man has been conditioned to be aggressive, to be competitive, to be manipulative, to be egoistic. Man has been prepared for a different kind of work: to be the exploiter, to be the oppressor, and to be the master. Women have been given belief systems to be the slaves. They have been taught how to submit. They have been given a very, very small world, the household. Their whole life has been...

... argument. Man is corrupted in one way: he cannot cry. And the woman is corrupted in another way: she starts crying and uses crying as a strategy to dominate. Crying becomes political - and when your tears are political they lose beauty, they are ugly. This second conditioning is one of the most difficult things to get rid of, it is very complex. You have a certain political ideology, a certain religious...

... ONLY TO HIM. THUS, BY EXPLAINING YOU ARE ACTUALLY ACTING TO HIS DETRIMENT.' AMINI SAID, 'ARE THERE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE - THAT MAN MUST LEARN THROUGH REALISING HIS OWN STATE, AND THAT HIS STATE CANNOT BE EXPLAINED TO HIM?' AJNABI SAID, 'THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS. BUT IF THERE WERE ENOUGH EXCEPTIONS TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THE WORLD, WE WOULD NOT BY NOW HAVE ANY MULLA FIROZES LEFT.' There are not...

... many. There are some exceptions but there are not many - that's why they are exceptions. They are few and far between. They can be counted out; they need not be reckoned. A Master has to function in such a way that the rule is fulfilled, not the exception - because ninety- nine point nine per cent of people follow the rule. Sometimes there is a rare person but that rare person need not have any help...
... remain insane, more or less. Insanity is bound to remain a part of your being. You can manage to live with it somehow, but it is going to be just somehow. It is a management. You cannot relax about it. Have you not observed? Everybody is afraid of going mad. One keeps oneself in control, but the fear is always there: "If something goes wrong, if one thing more goes wrong, then I may not be able to...

... control myself any longer." Everybody is on the verge of it. People are just nearabout ninety-nine percent on the verge. One percent more, any small thing, the last straw on the camel - the bank fails, your woman leaves and escapes with somebody else, the business dwindles - and you are no more sane, all sanity gone. It must have been just a facade, that sanity that goes so easily. It must have...

.... Everything finally returns to its source, so heaven and hell are arbitrary goals, created, invented by the priests to dominate people. A great strategy - it worked for thousands of years. Buddha wants to burn hell and heaven and the whole ideology surrounding it. There is a beautiful anecdote in one great Sufi woman's life, Rabia el Adawiya: One day she was found running in the marketplace - she was known...

... or a visit to the movie. And if you don't follow what we say, you will be punished - you will have to miss one meal." This is the same strategy: heaven and hell - just stretched to its logical conclusion. Man has been made very much afraid of hell, and whenever man is afraid you can dominate him. An afraid man is ready to become a slave. make any man afraid and you will become the master; you...

... can dominate him then very easily - because an afraid man wants to elan on something, an afraid man wants some consolation, some promise, some shelter. The priest makes people afraid of hell; that's why hell has been painted with such ugliness, with such cruelty, violence. The people who have painted hell and have talked about it must have been great sadists. Their ideas are great. And you have been...

... for. And that you can see. The Indian heaven, obviously, is very cool - mm? - you can understand it sitting in Poona. Very cool. Constantly, twenty-four hours, cool breezes blow. The sun rises but it is not hot. In other words, it is air-conditioned. And hell It is all fire. But the Tibetan hell is different, has to be, because it was invented by other people, to dominate another kind of country...

... efficiency. And, of course, in an Indian hell, things are done with Indian lousiness." The man said, "I will choose the Indian hell!" Hells can't be different. But priests were trying to dominate different kinds of people in different situations. Heaven is also different, has been taught by the priests differently. Whatsoever people were asking for has been provided. In the Mohammedan heaven...
