... suppression with awareness; tantra is indulgence with awareness. Tantra says that whatsoever you are, the ultimate is not opposite to it. It is a growth; you can grow to be the ultimate. There is no opposition between you and the reality. You are part of it, so no struggle, no conflict, no opposition to nature is needed. You have to use nature; you have to use whatsoever you are to go beyond. In yoga you...
... have to fight with yourself to go beyond. In yoga, the world and MOKSHA, liberation - you as you are and you as you can be - are two opposite things. Suppress, fight, dissolve that which you are so that you can attain that which you can be. Going beyond is a death in yoga. You must die for your real being to be born. In the eyes of tantra, yoga is a deep suicide. You must kill your natural self...
..., then there will be no possibility for compassion. So if you succeed in fighting, in suppression, you will be a dead man. There will be no anger because you have suppressed it, but there will be no compassion either because only anger can be transformed into compassion. If you succeed in your suppression - which is impossible - then there will be no sex, but no love either, because with sex dead there...
... society, neither yoga nor tantra can do this, because if we choose yoga we do not choose it because desires have become useless - no! They are still meaningful; they are not dropping by themselves. We have to force them. If we choose yoga, we choose it as a technique of suppression. If we choose tantra, we choose tantra as a cunningness, as a deep deception - an excuse to indulge. So with an unhealthy...
... RULE IN THE WAY .... EVEN A LITTLE GIRL OF SEVEN CAN BECOME THE TEACHER OF THE FOUR CLASSES OF BUDDHISTS ... IF SHE PRACTICES AND REALIZES THE LAW ... WE SHOULD MAKE A VENERATIVE OFFERING TO HER AS IF TO THE BUDDHAS. THIS IS A TRADITIONAL MANNER IN BUDDHISM. I FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN OR RECEIVED IT PERSONALLY. Maneesha, it is one of the most ancient problems - how to recognize the...
... master? Because without the master there is almost no way. I say almost, because perhaps one person in a million may reach to the truth without the master. But it is just accidental, it cannot be made a rule, it is just an exception that simply proves the rule. And the great concern of masters has been to explain to people the ways of recognizing the master, because the master is the Way. Unless you...
... grace brings the tea to everybody; pours the tea with immense awareness, consciousness, carefulness, respectfulness, and everybody receives the tea as if something divine is being received. In that silence sipping the tea ... and this very ordinary thing has become a spiritual experience. Nobody can speak in the teahouse, silence is the rule. When you put down your cups and saucers you also bow down...
... himself into you. DOGEN CONTINUED, ... BOTH MEN AND WOMEN CAN REALIZE THE WAY. IN ANY CASE, THE REALIZATION OF THE WAY SHOULD BE RESPECTED, REGARDLESS OF SEX. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXCELLENT RULE IN THE WAY. EVEN A LITTLE GIRL OF SEVEN CAN BECOME THE TEACHER OF THE FOUR CLASSES OF BUDDHISTS ... IF SHE PRACTICES AND REALIZES THE DHAMMA ... WE SHOULD MAKE A VENERATIVE OFFERING TO HER AS IF TO THE BUDDHAS...
... BECOMES THE TRUTH AND KNOWS THE BURDEN RELIGION BEARS THERE ARE MANY WORLDS AND MANY MORE BEYOND THEM; WHAT POWER ASSUMES THEIR WEIGHT? CREATURES OF ALL FORMS AND COLORS ARE CREATED BY HIS WRIT, BUT ONLY FEW KNOW THE RULE TO TELL IT. CAN ANYONE WRITE THE ACCOUNT OF THIS MYSTERY? IF IT WERE WRITTEN HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE. WHAT STRENGTH AND POWER! HOW BEAUTIFUL HIS APPEARANCE! HOW GREAT HIS CHARITY; WHO...
... is no one to return and speak about it. So, says Nanak, nothing can be said about him. Only something can be said about meditation - but that too only if you have experienced it, and after due contemplation. Make it a rule for yourself to speak only of that which you know, and this small rule can transform your life. Forget about the rest of the world; worry only about yourself and don't budge from...
... this rule. We love to exaggerate. Say we know an inch of something, we want to give a mile's worth of information about it. We know only a grain and we set out to discuss a mountainful. The state of mind is a state of exaggeration, becausethe ego revels in overstatements. Mulla Nasruddin fell down on the road. He became unconscious and was taken to a hospital. When he was placed on the operating...
... wrong kind; while infinite wealth was raining around, you were counting shells. THERE ARE MANY WORLDS AND MANY MORE BEYOND THEM; WHAT POWER ASSUMES THEIR WEIGHT? CREATURES OF ALL FORMS AND COLORS ARE CREATED BY HIS WRIT, BUT ONLY FEW KNOW THE RULE TO TELL IT. CAN ANYONE WRITE THE ACCOUNT OF THIS MYSTERY? IF IT WERE WRITTEN HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE. WHAT STRENGTH AND POWER! HOW BEAUTIFUL HIS APPEARANCE...
..., seriously. The lady said, "Mulla, it is strange! I never asked you to frighten ME." Mulla said, "You do not see the real fact. It was not only you who was frightened; I myself was frightened of myself. When fear takes over, it destroys all. To start it is easy, but to control it is difficult. So I was the master when I started, but soon fear took over and it was the master and I was the...
... body is ready to do something but the situation is not, so a gap is created. You begin to feel yourself different, and there is a barrier between you and your body. Because of that barrier and because of this constant arousal and suppression simultaneously, this acceleration and braking simultaneously, this constant contradiction in your existence, you are diseased. If you would fall back and be an...
... consciousness has penetrated into the cells now. Now the consciousness is not only a starting point: it has become the master. Skinner may prevail in the coming days. He may become a very great force. Just like Marx suddenly became a great force for the outer economy of society, just like Marx, any day Pavlov and Skinner may become a very central force for the inner economy of the human body and the human...
..., but with no light. Skinner, I said, can prevail because he shows a very easy way. You are angry: you can be operated upon. You feel sexual: you can be operated upon. Your problems will be solved not by you, but by a surgeon - by someone else. And whenever a problem is solved by someone else you have missed a very great opportunity, because when you solve it you grow. When someone else solves it, you...
... difficult. It will be difficult to use the hunger method. The mind would not like it. These two are very difficult. Whether you like them or not, they are difficult. Only the breath process is simple. And for the coming age, I think Buddha's method will be very helpful. It is moderate, easy, not very dangerous. That is why Buddha is known always as the originator of the middle path - MAJJHIM-NIKAYA - the...
..., you are on the earth; it is not that your body is really lifted up. But you have three bodies. Your physical body will remain on the earth. And because of meditation your mental body is silent, relaxing. Only the astral body is capable of rising upwards; it is beyond gravitation. Gravitation has no power over it. Light is not under the control of gravitation. That's why the flame of a candle can go...
... laziest hands in the whole world. But your experience is immensely significant, impeccably beautiful. And the fear that if you go on and on, how far and where it will lead.... Don't be worried. Wherever it will lead you is the right place, the right space. Relax and remain in a let-go. You are not to control its movements because you are far smaller than the energy that you are trying to control. The...
..., he forgets all about his instruments." There is a mysterious world -- illogical to the mind, supra-logical to those who understand the world of the mystic. It surrounds us; we just need the right perception, clear eyes unburdened with knowledge -- innocent, weightless. We need wings -- wings of love, not of logic. Logic pulls you downwards. It is under the rule of gravitation. Love takes you...
... in a deep conspiracy for centuries. They have divided everything up amongst themselves: "You will rule here, we will rule there; you will rule before death, we will rule after death -- fifty-fifty!" But both have to do one thing: destroy any potential for love. For thousands of years only child marriages were allowed. It was a subtle strategy. Girdharilal Jain himself may have got married...
... suggests that the best way of defense is offense, and man has used the idea for centuries - centuries before Machiavelli recognized it as a basic fact in all political spheres. Wherever there is some kind of domination, offense is certainly the best way of defense. In defense, you are already losing ground; you have already accepted yourself as the defeated side. You are just protecting yourself. In...
..., no evidence, no witness, no argument. A real superiority is immediately recognized by anybody who has even a small amount of intelligence. The real superiority has its own magnetic force. Because men condemned woman - and they had to condemn her to keep her in control - they reduced her almost to a subhuman category. What fear must have led man to do this? - because it is sheer paranoia.... Man...
... two minutes he closed his eyes, and then he said, "Swamiji, now if you don't allow me, it is going to sing on its own." The saint could not understand what the boy was saying - "It is going to sing on its own?" "Then don't tell me... I am warning you. Now I am at the last point of control." The swami said, "If it is such a necessity, then you can sing slowly, just...
... is going to come back. Now is the time that he should be understood perfectly well. Adolf Hitler misunderstood him. His followers misunderstood him, his enemies misunderstood him. But to be misunderstood is a seal from human beings, that you had something really important. Otherwise, who cares to understand or misunderstand? Nietzsche had this insight: that men have to suppress women. Otherwise, if...
... SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN. MAN THAT HE WAS JESUS THE CHRIST. ONCE IT HAPPENED: Aesop, the greatest master of story-telling, was going out of Athens. He met a man who was coming from Argos. They talked. The man from Argos asked Aesop, "You are coming from...
... suppress it. That's how the unconscious mind is created. You have only one mind.Jesus has one mind. I have one mind, but your mind you have divided in two. You have created a boundary. A small space of the mind you call 'mind' and the remainder you have denied. That denied part has become the unconscious, and it takes revenge. It goes on fighting with you. You are split. All humanity is schizophrenic...
... disappears, God starts thinking about you, caring about you, fulfilling you. He comes. He becomes a guest. AND I SAY ALSO UNTO THEE, THAT THOU ART PETER, AND UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. ... the man of little faith, but at least of faith. Jesus says, "I will build my church upon your rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it...
... doctor, with great humility, then addressed the king,'I hope Your Majesty will excuse my want of respect hitherto, but if my boys were to imagine that there were a greater man in the kingdom than myself, I should never be able to rule them. So please excuse me.' He said,'They should know that even the king is not greater than their headmaster. Otherwise, it would be impossible to rule them again.' This...
... is what happens when a Jesus walks on the earth: the politicians, the priests, become afraid. They cannot allow the common man to know that a greater possibility exists, that a greater man is possible. Otherwise, they will not be able to rule again. Hence, Jesus has to be crucified. He has to be destroyed before the public so the public can know well 'who is the boss here'. Listen to the sutras...
... within you. There is another dimension of love where love is only the absence of hate, not opposite to it. I teach you THAT love: love as an absence of hate. The real problem is not how to love; the real problem is how to understand hate and drop it through that understanding. Don't hide your hate, don't suppress it; bring it out, get rid of it. Before you can be able to really love and love totally...
... natural ones, because natural limbs are created by blind biology and your limbs will be created by conscious intelligence. And that conscious intelligence is part of nature, so you are not doing anything against nature. Yes, those who are preaching celibacy are against nature. Those who are preaching against birth control methods are against nature. Those who are making nuclear bombs are against nature...
... certain insights which are significant. Aurangzeb told his court, "My father has sent a message from the prison that the whole day sitting there he feels bored. It will be a tremendous kindness if he can be given thirty children whom he can teach." Aurangzeb commented, "This is nothing but lust for power. He has lost his kingdom, but he still wants thirty children so that he can rule over...
... all those files. Finally, just to keep the peace, she had given him the keys. His death came as a relief; the keys were back with her. You are asking me, "How can we stop people from getting into a power trip?" Start from yourself. Just don't do anything to dominate, and don't allow anybody to dominate you either. Take the whole responsibility of being an individual, and respect the right...
