... fact the word is the barrier. Remove the word, allow the no-word, no-mind state, and everything is as crystal clear, clean as it has been since eternity. Just your eyes were clouded with words... your minds have gathered so much rubbish, which you call religious. In fact, all rubbish is religious, and vice versa. The function of Zen is just to cut all this rubbish like a sword, in a single blow...
... dictatorial, because the husband feels a bit inferior. He is bad in many ways: he smokes, he drinks, he looks all around at other beautiful faces. Then the wife becomes dictatorial; she becomes a do-gooder. Now she can sacrifice her husband; now she can virtually kill. And because she is good, the husband is just helpless - he cannot argue. Smoking is bad - of course; and he is smoking, so he is bad. And...
...?" The saint said, "We have been here, but we have not seen him." He said, "If I see him I will hit him with this harp on his head... Hallelujia! It is the time, my pub will be closing. Is it a joke or something?" God would not have heard, but between his "Hallelujia! Hallelujia!" he shouted upwards, "Fuck You!" God thought, "This is strange. No saint...
... missing in being a king. "And thirdly, I have a suggestion for you. Your palace is beautiful - I have been watching it being built; you have made every possible effort to make it absolutely safe - just one thing is wrong with it." The owner of the palace asked, "What is that?" The beggar said, "You do one thing: you go in and tell your people to remove the door, and make a wall...
... unconscious; but they are one thing. That's why you can turn them easily: a small incident, and love becomes hate. The person you were going to die for, you can kill him! Lovers have killed the same person for whom they would have sacrificed themselves. It is the same energy, but it has turned completely upside down. Samata, equilibrium, has been immensely praised by Gautam Buddha. It simply means absence...
... COULD REALLY HEAR JUST ONE WORD OF YOURS, REALLY SEE JUST ONE GESTURE OF YOURS, REALLY FALL INTO ONE SMALL GAP OF YOUR SILENCE, I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD YOU AT LAST. IS THAT SO?" Zen Master Niskriya... (THIS TIME NISKRIYA HAS HIS STAFF WITH HIM!) Yes, a good hit on Maneesha. (NISKRIYA TAPS HER ON THE HEAD.) Right! This is the seal of being right. Now we can have a few really good things. This...
... reminded of a case: Ramakrishna had a cancer of the throat. In the last stage it became impossible even to drink water. All his disciples said, "Why don't you ask in your prayers to God to remove this cancer? We know that if you ask, your prayer will be heard. And if your prayer cannot be heard, then all prayers are false." Ramakrishna was such a man that if his prayer is not heard, it can only...
... jumped, pulled him out - against his will, and that felt even more strange, that he was fighting with me. But somehow I pulled him out of the river and he said, "What kind of man are you? I was trying to commit suicide." I said, "If you were committing suicide, then why were you shouting 'Help, save me'?" He said, "It is human nature. I was determined to kill myself but when...
... enlightenment, you only know the conclusion, you don't know the process. You say 'The master hit the disciple and he became enlightened', but you don't know that for twenty-six years he was meditating! Mm? it is not the whole story. It is tricky! You don't know his whole story, what was happening to him for those twenty-six years; Zen stories are just the conclusions. If you know the whole process of the...
... gone astray. The elder son exists not, he is fictitious. To be, one has to rebel; that is the way of being. Each child has to leave the mother's womb. If somebody asks, 'What about that child who never left the mother's womb?'... The child will be dead: nothing can be said about him. Not only will he be dead, he will kill the mother too. Those elder sons are killing god himself. They are there: they...
