... miraculous. Just make an exception - just one time say to me, 'What you are doing is right.' " He was shocked because he understood the meaning of what I was saying, that it is impossible that I could be doing everything wrong. But parents enjoy the idea because it is very fulfilling: it is the lust for power. Whenever you say to somebody, "No," whenever you say to somebody, "You are...
... wrong," you feel powerful. It feeds your ego and it feeds the ego of everybody - the teachers, the neighbors. Wherever the child goes, everybody is enjoying the lust for power, and the child is crushed. And when so many people are saying that he is wrong, naturally he has to believe it. But remember, as a reaction, he starts judging others. When everybody else is judging him, there is no reason...
.... It is true that so many so-called democratic countries are not courageous enough even to give me a tourist visa. It is a great compliment. They have never given such a compliment to any other man in the whole of history. Their religion is twenty centuries old, so is their morality, so is their tradition; and they are afraid of a man who has no power, and who is coming just like a tourist - only for...
... SPIRITUAL, THE QUEST TO KNOW "WHO AM I?" It is something very ancient in man. It must be a heritage from his animal ancestors. A position gives power, gives identity. In sitting in front it seems to you that you are more important; those who are sitting at the back are less important. But at least with me you have to drop this animal heritage. Be a human being. Rather than depending on the place...
... Bombay because for elections they need money and all the money is in Bombay. You will be surprised that Bombay has only a population of ten million - in a country of nine hundred million - but it has half of the wealth of the whole country. Ten million against eight hundred and eighty million people are holding half the wealth of the country. Certainly they have a power. So he said to me, "I don't...
... feel that you are missing something. You feel grateful - not a despair that it disappeared. Feel grateful that it appeared to you and you had not asked for it, it came on its own, uninvited; and slowly, slowly you will get the knack of it, that it is not within your power, within your hands. In fact, you, your hands, your effort, are all barriers. So when sometimes, doing anything, you are so totally...
... would like my people, at least, not to waste time in postponing their own growth, because politicians are absolutely prepared to destroy each other -- to destroy all and everything. Their lust for power has come to the climax. Before they succeed in committing a global suicide, at least you should have known the god that exists within you. You should spread your joy and your silence and your laughter...
... full of flowers. Before the outside world is destroyed by your politicians, enter into your inner world. That's the only safety left, the only shelter against nuclear weapons, against global suicide, against all these idiots who have so much power to destroy. You can at least save yourself. I was hopeful, but as the days have passed and I have become more and more acquainted with the stupidity of man...
... matter. What he is saying is so truthful that if to get those truths one has to become mad, it is a perfectly good bargain. Question 2: BELOVED OSHO, RECENTLY YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE WILL TO POWER. YOU EXPLAINED THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THIS WILL, THIS LONGING, TO BECOME A MASTER OVER ONE'S SELF. YOU ALSO OFTEN DECLARE THAT EVERY DESIRE IS THE BASIC REASON FOR MAN'S FRUSTRATION. CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE...
..., you will find inside the seed a serpent starts uncoiling itself -- that is the will. Nietzsche has called it will to power. I myself would like to call it will to realization, will to actualization, will to become absolutely yourself. Desire is a very dangerous thing, because you can get lost in desire and millions are lost. The jungle of desires is very thick, and there is no end; one after another...
... power in their hands, servants become masters; they start behaving as if the masters are servants. But this cannot go forever. Yes, all the predictions of the ancient seers, like Nostradamus, that the world is going to end by the end of this century, are true in a very different sense than has been understood. The old world is going to end, and a new world is going to begin. That is my interpretation...
... memories; because their whole energy is involved in their memory, they don't have any intelligence. Intelligence is the power to face a new situation about which you know nothing. Memory is a reaction. You know the answer, the question is asked, you repeat the answer. But if any new question is asked the memory is impotent. A new question, a new situation, does not need your memory; it needs intelligence...
... create an uncorrupt society? To ask a person to be moral in this immoral situation is to ask something absurd. An individual cannot be moral in an immoral society. If he tries to be moral, his morality will only make him egoistic and ego is as immoral and corrupt as anything else. This situation is a human creation. We have created a society with a mad rush for wealth, power, politics; we go on...
... nonambitious. Only a nonambitious mind is religious. It makes no difference what your ambition is - whether it is wealth, power or fame, or even liberation or God - if you are ambitious, that means your mind is moving somewhere else, running after something else. It is always busy achieving, it is never just being that which it already is. Ambition is tension, and tension is the barrier to encountering the...
... SAID TO ME VOICELESSLY:'OF WHAT CONSEQUENCE IS THEIR MOCKERY? YOU ARE ONE WHO HAS UNLEARNED HOW TO OBEY: NOW YOU SHALL COMMAND! 'DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS ALL MEN MOST NEED? HIM WHO COMMANDS GREAT THINGS. 'TO PERFORM GREAT THINGS IS DIFFICULT: BUT MORE DIFFICULT IS TO COMMAND GREAT THINGS. 'THIS IS THE MOST UNPARDONABLE THING ABOUT YOU: YOU HAVE THE POWER AND YOU WILL NOT RULE.' AND I ANSWERED: 'I LACK...
... IS TO COMMAND GREAT THINGS. 'THIS IS THE MOST UNPARDONABLE THING ABOUT YOU: YOU HAVE THE POWER AND YOU WILL NOT RULE.' AND I ANSWERED: 'I LACK THE LION'S VOICE FOR COMMAND.' THEN AGAIN SOMETHING SAID TO ME AS IN A WHISPER: 'IT IS THE STILLEST WORDS WHICH BRING THE STORM. THOUGHTS THAT COME ON DOVES' FEET GUIDE THE WORLD. 'O ZARATHUSTRA, YOU SHALL GO AS A SHADOW OF THAT WHICH MUST COME: THUS YOU...
..., because meditation can be learnt at any age, even on the deathbed. Meditation does not need any effort, it needs relaxation. It does not need any muscular power, all that it needs is a restful consciousness. Hence it can be done by a child, it can be done by a young man, it can be done by an old man, very easily. It is the simplest phenomenon in the world. Self-realization is not difficult at all. It...
... death. If he learns meditation, then he will have some riches that cannot be destroyed by death. Otherwise power, prestige, money, respectability, scholarship, all will be burnt in the funeral pyre, and you will be going naked, empty- handed. I can help you to become so over-full with the inner, with the transcendental, that death will be absolutely incapable of destroying it. You say: HE LOVES YOUR...
... power. The origin of folkways, like the origin of languages, is always unconscious and unintentional and therefore always shrouded in mystery. (767.3) 68:4.3 Ghost fear drove primitive man to envision the supernatural and thus securely laid the foundations for those powerful social influences of ethics and religion which in turn preserved inviolate the mores and customs of society from generation to...
... unskilled side of humanity; the fine arts and true scientific progress, together with spiritual culture, have all thrived best in the larger centers of life when supported by an agricultural and industrial population slightly under the land-man ratio. Cities always multiply the power of their inhabitants for either good or evil. (770.3) 68:6.6 The size of the family has always been influenced by the...
