... ONE WANTED TO CHARACTERIZE IT AS UNBORN-NESS, OR AS NIRVANA, OR AS TRUTH, ONE COULD NEVER HIT IT. IT LIES BEYOND ALL TERMINOLOGY AND EXPRESSION; THINKING CANNOT REACH THAT FAR. Maneesha, there are four possible ways to explain the unexplainable. Unconsciously, man has made philosophies out of those four ways. Man is a crossroads, where four ways meet. The first way is that of matter. The atheist...
... only space. EVEN IF ONE WANTED TO CHARACTERIZE IT AS UNBORN-NESS, OR AS NIRVANA, OR AS TRUTH, ONE COULD NEVER HIT IT. One has just touched on it. No word can reach to the very heart of existence. IT LIES BEYOND ALL TERMINOLOGY AND EXPRESSION; THINKING CANNOT REACH THAT FAR. But silence can divulge as much depth as you have courage for. What words cannot manage to express, your silence can express...
... between you as you are and as your original being is. The difference is so slight -- just a drum beat, a hit on your head by Master Niskriya, anything can bring you back. This Zen master who remained for ten years and could not come back must have been searching alone, without a master. Otherwise the master gives you a certain rope; he does not allow you to go beyond that. He gives you a taste of your...
... beyond your power. If you fall in love, you cannot do anything, you are simply helpless. The group demands that you kill yourself and just survive - don't live. Just survive enough so that you can be used as laborers, as clerks, as police commissioners, as presidents, as prime ministers... but just survival, not more than that. Living totally, intensely, burning your torch of life from both sides...
...-Hillaj Mansoor and Sarmad - these beautiful people, these individuals who had not become part of any group, any society, who remained like solitary cedars of Lebanon high in the sky, alone, almost touching the stars... They created jealousy in people, fear in people, and most importantly they opened their closed wounds. It hurts, it hurts so badly that it is better to remove them so that millions of...
... commit suicide because of all these idiots who are creating the situation for a global murder, or we have to change the whole past: its institutions, its education, its ways of living, its ways of being religious. Unless we are ready for a total revolution, man cannot be saved. My hope is that howsoever far man may have gone crazy, he still wants to live. His will to live is the only hope left. We have...
... tremendously big. They had immense potential for power, but just the spiritual background was against violence and war. But everything has a reaction. Although the East became a slave to Western materialism and material forces, the West could not kill the Eastern spirit, its mysticism. There is no way to kill it. They even started to inquire into the mysteries of the East. They translated all the best mystic...
... yours. They can kill, but they cannot give you a new life. They can destroy, but they cannot create. So there is a great creative upsurge in the whole world. It is coming from the East, and soon the distinction between the East and the West will be lost. Question 2: BELOVED MASTER, THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT IS BECOMING STRONGER IN EUROPE. WE SEE PARALLELS TO YOUR PROPHECY OF THE QUANTUM LEAP. WHAT DO YOU...
... die consciously, or the routine way - the unconscious way. Nature has made a provision that before dying the person becomes completely unconscious, goes into a coma, so he knows nothing. It is simply the greatest surgery possible. If the surgeon is going to remove a small part of the body, he has to make the patient unconscious; otherwise there is every possibility that the pain will be too much and...
... widow. But a fourteen-year-old girl.... "By the time she is twenty-eight he may pop off. This time he is not going to kill the woman; he will be killed. And what is the need? His sons are married, his daughters are married; and this girl is just like a daughter to him, the age difference is so much." And do you know what they did? They locked me in a room, thinking that I am going to create...
..., experienced - what else do you want?" The servant said, "You sound right, but if anybody knows that I have said yes, they will kill me. I am a poor servant. If your father comes to know, my service is finished." I said, "Don't worry, you will not need the service. Once you get married you will not need the service." He said, "What is the guarantee? The whole society will...
... hurt. That gave him pain, and he could not even say it to anybody. One day he was trying to fix a picture on his wall, and the nail was a little high up, beyond his hand's reach. His bodyguard said, "Sir, I can do it. I am higher than you." Napoleon became so angry. He said, "Take your words back, otherwise I will kill you right now, here." But he said, "What have I said...
... with him for many years. He was really a strong man. Kant used to hit him, but he was also good at hitting. He would hit even better. And every morning this wrestling would happen. But till Kant said, "Enough!" the servant would say, "No, you go into the bathroom, and I will take up your blanket and your mattress, so you cannot go back to sleep again while I'm working outside in the...
... hallucinations, and life goes on slipping through their hands. Just remember these two things as gifts from a poor man, a nobody." Alexander thanked him - although in the cool morning he was perspiring. That man was such... each thing he said would make you perspire even in the cold breeze on a cold morning, because he would hit exactly the wounds that you are hiding. Alexander never could reach to being...
..., happened to pass by. She hit Junnaid's head hard with her staff. She was an old woman... Junnaid said, "Rabiya, to disturb somebody in prayer is not right; and you are a well-known religious saint and you disturbed my prayer!" She said, "I had to disturb it. And if next time I hear you praying in this way again - 'God open the doors' - then only God can save you. I am going to hit your...
... hit you but never hits you; she always makes it a point to miss you. You are not supposed to do such things; you are a man, a serious man: a doctor, a professor, an engineer, a scientist, a bishop, a cardinal. It doesn't look right for a cardinal to throw a tantrum. But a woman is a woman - crying, throwing things, weeping - she throws out her insanity in installments. You go on collecting wholesale...
...; then one day it erupts like a volcano, then it is beyond your control. To me, it is absolutely beautiful to cry, beautiful to laugh, beautiful to enjoy, dance, sing. The poor sannyasin who sings here... somebody met him yesterday and they told him, "Unless we kill you, you are this man he is going to sing every day." They followed him. He was very much afraid. He has not done anything to...
... head." He is talking metaphorically. Because when you are meditating everything will disappear, but finally, you will see the master is there. When the whole world has disappeared the master is there. That is your last love, and it is so satisfying, so gratifying, that one wants to be in that state forever. Only the master can say, "This is not the goal. One step more: remove this...
... nest on you, and sing their songs around you. It is better to crucify a Jesus and poison a Socrates - just to remove them - so that you need not feel in any way spiritually inferior. The world has known only very few rebels. But now is the time: if humanity proves incapable of producing a large number of rebels - a rebellious spirit - then our days on the earth are numbered. Then this century may...
... as much as men, and the psychological insight is that it is because they are free to cry and to weep. They are free to throw tantrums, break old, rotten pottery, cups and saucers which anyway had to be thrown. But in this way, they release their madness in installments - the American way! Man goes on accumulating, and there comes a point that it becomes too much and he has to do something: kill...
... himself, or kill somebody else. I used to be a neighbor of a Bengali professor, Professor Battacharya. The first day I entered my bungalow at night, there was a great fight between Battacharya and his wife. And the walls were so thin that even if you whispered, still you could hear... and they were shouting! Although I had no idea of Bengali... but one thing was certain: something was going to happen...
... defending a client called William Wright who is on trial for murder, Joe comes home very depressed. He has lost the case, and Wright is to be executed that night unless the governor pardons him. As Joe enters the house, his wife begins, "Where have you been? It's after ten o'clock." "Ah, nag, nag, nag," he says in disgust, and goes to pour himself a drink. "The minute you come...
..., bending over the tub. "Hey, Joe," says his wife. "They are not hanging Wright tonight." Joe snaps back, "Ah, nag, nag, nag!" Old Zeb, the back-woods Virginia farmer, has been screwing one of his favorite pigs for years. Suddenly, Zeb is hit by pangs of guilt and conscience that torture him so much he decides to go and tell the priest about it in confession. Father Fungus is...
.... Only then your life is a grandeur. This grandeur is already there, just you have to discover it. Just a few layers of dust - remove them. We meditate every evening simply so that you go on deepening more and more, so that the wine becomes older and older. So that your buddhahood becomes an absolute certainty. It is not an argument, it is an experience. Okay, Maneesha? Yes, Beloved Master. Can we...
... IN ALL INNOCENCE, THEIR BLOODLESS SOULS THIRST FOR BLOOD - AND THEREFORE THEY STING IN ALL INNOCENCE. BUT YOU, PROFOUND MAN, YOU SUFFER TOO PROFOUNDLY EVEN FROM SMALL WOUNDS; AND BEFORE YOU HAVE RECOVERED, THE SAME POISON-WORM IS AGAIN CRAWLING OVER YOUR HAND. YOU ARE TOO PROUD TO KILL THESE SWEET-TOOTHED CREATURES. BUT TAKE CARE THAT IT DOES NOT BECOME YOUR FATE TO BEAR ALL THEIR POISONOUS...
... psychologically true. Gautam Buddha is also not angry, but nobody has pointed out the fact that he is not angry because of his pride. What is the meaning of being angry with small people? They are doing what they can do - their vengeance, their revengefulness. They can kill Jesus, they can poison Socrates. And it has been thought that because Gautam Buddha has attained to a state where it does not matter...
... POISON-WORM IS AGAIN CRAWLING OVER YOUR HAND. YOU ARE TOO PROUD TO KILL THESE SWEET-TOOTHED CREATURES. BUT TAKE CARE THAT IT DOES NOT BECOME YOUR FATE TO BEAR ALL THEIR POISONOUS INJUSTICE! THEY BUZZ AROUND YOU EVEN WITH THEIR PRAISE: AND THEIR PRAISE IS IMPORTUNITY. THEY WANT TO BE NEAR YOUR SKIN AND YOUR BLOOD... AND THEY ARE OFTEN KIND TO YOU. BUT THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PRUDENCE OF THE COWARDLY...
