... cannot walk in a straight line, you wobble. Above all, don't wobble! When you are hit on your head, and you see the whole world moving around you, and you fall, that sense of balance has been hit. If all your six senses are functioning, ready to be receptive, you will have a rich life. When I say I am a rich man's guru, I don't mean that Rockefeller, Ford, Morgan, and the Kennedys are my disciples...
... airport, she gave a press conference in which everything that she said was a lie: that she has been beaten, she has been raped, that they were going to kill her; somehow she has escaped. In Germany, she became again a great famous star. Her husband wrote a letter to me. I want you to know what was in that letter. Her husband wrote,"I don't believe what my wife is talking about, because every day...
... am helpless, I am weak, I am small. You can do anything, but remember: one day you will be old and I will be young; you will be weak and I will be strong.

But still, I respect your honesty. No child will say this to his...
... generous! I have lived for these three decades just out of pure love. I have suffered, but without any complaint. Attempts on my life have been made, but I don't have any grudge against those people who wanted to kill me. I can understand - I have the right vision, I can see. Those people were feeling offended because I was continuously destroying their belief systems, destroying their traditions, their...
... conventions. I was doing that out of love. I wanted them to be free from all kinds of garbage that centuries have poured into their being. But they did not think it was garbage, they thought it was treasure. Naturally they were offended and they wanted to kill me, because if this man remains alive, he is going to destroy many people's treasures. I can understand. Religions teach you to forgive. I say that...
... child becomes a part of his power trip. He has an investment in every child, because every child is a potential friend or enemy. It iS good to start canvassing as early as possible. So before the child starts on his own, he is distracted onto a path which is going to fulfill the politician's desire, but which is going to kill the seed in the child himself. The priest is interested - he has an...
... is to remove from the map all the lines - and just from the map - on the earth there are no lines. Just from the maps simply remove all the lines and you won't have the third world war, and you will not need so many armies all around the world. Millions of people are doing nothing except turning left, turning right.... If somebody is watching from above, he will be surprised. Why do people go on...
... seconds for the child to recognize the fact that he has to breathe now on his own - your mother's breathing is not going to help. Just to bring him to his senses the doctor hangs him upside down, and hits him on his bottom, hard. What a beginning! And what a welcome! And just out of that hit he starts breathing. Have you ever observed that whenever you are afraid your breathing changes? If you have not...
... somewhere in the world where he can relax and be himself, where he is accepted. Difficult - a whole life's struggle, and suddenly, one day, he finds again he is being thrown out. The doctor has come again - and this is the man who had hit him! But that time it was to start the breathing; this time, as far as we know.... Now we are on this side, we don't know the other side. The other side is left to the...
... afraid." You tell me, The moment I think of dropping the idea of God, fear comes up. It is a simple indication that with the rock of the idea of God, you are repressing fear; so the moment you remove the rock, the fear springs up. I had a teacher in my high school days who was a very learned brahmin of the place. Almost the whole city respected him. He used to live behind my house, and a small...
.... Because sex is temporal; love is something of the eternal. He can make hit-and-run contacts with people but he cannot relate. He is constantly running, because he is identified with the body. The body is never at rest; it is a continuous movement. At the most he can have sex - a temporal, a momentary thing; nothing deeper, nothing of the soul, nothing of the innermost core. Beings remain far away...
... catch penicillin. This society is ill. Awareness will kill it. This society cannot exist with many people alert and aware. They will be dangerous to it. Immediately it catches hold of children and closes their minds, makes them unaware, drugs them - and that drugging this society calls schooling, education. Go to a small school for small children, a kindergarten school. Watch through the window...
... to reject, but I had to say it. That helped. She needed to be hit on the head. Remember, compassion can be severe. In fact, only compassion can be severe. Otherwise, what is the need? who is worried? who bothers? People come to me and they say, 'Why do you insist for sannyas?' Because I love you and I would like to share something that can be shared only when you have come close to me. ... HE WAS...
..., that seeing them as diamonds was an illusion, then where is the difficulty in dropping them? With the recognition that they are stones, one will not have to drop them, they will simply drop from our hands on their own. Let the stones of words fall away, then meaning will arise. In the realm of religion, meaning does not arise from words, meaning arises from no-word. Remove words, and the stream of no...
...-word flows. The river that flows through Poona gets covered with leaves and vegetation; greenery spreads all over so that the water is not visible. Your mind is just like that. Remove the leaves, and there is the flowing river beneath. Remove the words, and the river of meaning is hidden beneath. The story is not the same in all dimensions. When I say tree, you understand the meaning in an instant...
... broken. The kettle is blown to pieces, the fuel is scattered everywhere, and the contents of the kettle too! So some so-called religious people - who are not actually religious at all - begin to remove the fuel instead of removing the weight from the lid of the kettle. They eat less food because they are afraid of sex.... because if the body is fed, then sex is going to be vitalized. It is food that...
... which is manifesting itself like a fire, has a deep attractiveness. These songs of boiling water - the humming, the bubbles, the foam, the rising steam - it is all so beautiful! All this is accepted. Remove the lid, let the steam. Let the fire burn and the steam fly free and you see all this from a distance, and an extraordinary truth reveals itself: that you are watching all this happen in the body...
... kind of sleep he experiences; even on the body level you cannot derive the same pleasure that he does. But whether it is pleasure or pain, sleep or no-sleep, or hunger or thirst, the enlightened one is standing detached - that is his enlightenment. He allows the body to run on its own. He understands the fact that the body functions on its own, that there is simply no point in being the doer. Remove...
... to sub-humanity. Have you ever thought that if somebody hits you, and you give the other cheek, what you are doing to him? Are you not saying to him, "Look, I am a saint"? Yes, you are not saying it, but it is all over the place. It is quite loud, even though you are not saying it: that, "Look at my saintliness, my humbleness, my meekness; you hit me on one cheek, I give you the...
... other." When Jesus was teaching this message to his disciples, one of them had asked him, "And if he hits you on the other too?" Jesus may not have thought of the possibility of such a question. Yes, that is possible, because if you yourself are offering another cheek, it will be just ungrateful not to accept the offer. And if you enjoyed the first hit so much that you are welcoming...
... another, he may give even a stronger one. So the man asked, "Then what have we to do?" Jesus said, "You have to forgive seven times." He said, "Okay." From the way the man said "Okay," it was clear that he knew that seven times he could tolerate it, but let the eighth come, and in just one single hit, "I will show him that what he has not been able to do in...
... fight with animals. And you will find you are the weakest animal on the whole earth. Even a dog can prove the fact, and the dog is no longer part of jungle life. He is a tamed animal. He has weakened with you... otherwise he is a cousin of wolves. He cannot fight with the wolves, but with a man... he can easily kill you without any difficulty. In fact, why did man have to invent swords and guns and...
... throws it away without bothering you. The leg has a small brain of its own. So for small matters there is no need to go to the central system, to go to the brain - that much the leg can do. A mosquito is biting you, your hands move it or kill it, and your sleep is not disturbed. Even while you are asleep your body is continuously protecting you, and doing things which are not generally supposed. The...
... the body is your enemy, you have to starve it, you have to hit it hard, because unless you starve it, torture it, how are you going to be free of it? The only way to be free of it is to cut all attachments to it. They teach you hatred for your body, and this is something so dangerous. The very idea turns your greatest friend into your greatest enemy. These religions go on saying to you, "You...
... extending it in our favor, tomorrow they may not. Today they may have a good opinion of us, tomorrow they may have a bad one - and they have their own motivations. That shopkeeper had his own motivations. He gave a hit to the ego. Now two things could have happened through it. One was that this man might have purchased the material, just to save face if for nothing else. And it would have been better if...
... nearing my death and I will never know whether you followed my advice or not. So give me a demonstration before I die.' An apple was there near her bed; she gave it to me and asked me to eat it, but making sure that I did not eat it the way others do." This child Gurdjieff must have found himself in great difficulty: what to do? But children are very inventive. If the parents do not kill their...
... was a device to kill our egos. We had thought that the experiment was being carried out to bring peace and silence to our minds. We were not even told that our egos will be killed. After three months we became as though we did not exist; only our being remained. There was no tune of 'I' arising anywhere in us." The day no tunes of 'I' arise within you, that day you are standing at your real 'I...
