... prestige and their power is within their own being - in their freedom, in their silence, in their love, in their creative action - not in their reaction. What others do is not determinative of their life. Their life springs from within themselves. It has its own roots in the earth and its own branches in the sky. It has its own longing to reach to the stars. Only such a man has beauty, grace. Only such a...
... right. Just by use, by ordinary people changing their tone, their sound, the words become easier; they are not complicated. We have seen this happen to English in India. English was the language of the bureaucracy, of the people who were in power, of the British Empire. But a few words were bound to enter into the local people's languages. And the transformation is worth seeing; it will explain to you...
... of ambition and power politics, your real mettle is never really tested. You never pass through the fire. Love is the fire. If you are really gold you will survive it. If you are not real gold, you will be gone. But I tell you that you are real gold. Trust me - pass through the fire. Hesitation is natural, but don't make hesitation a barrier. Even with the hesitation, pass through it. In spite of...
... heard: Mulla Nasrudin had once decided that he would never touch any alcoholic thing again in his life any intoxicant. And he was a drunkard. So just to test his own will-power, he walked on the path where the pub was. Just in front of the pub, he looked at the pub in avery proud way and said to himself,'I have decided that nothing can attract me and nothing can force me to g astray'; and he heartily...
... wilderness when he came across some animals having a speech contest. The judge was a lion who invited the man to become part of the audience. The man accepted. A fox stood up and gave a smooth and clever speech. At one point, he declared,'The moon is larger than the sun.' The next speaker was an elephant whose voice boomed out with power and authority. His talk included the sentence,'Summer is cooler than...
... revolution. Only a rebel who fails totally is a real rebel, because to succeed he will have to use the ways and means of this world. And in using those ways and means is the failure. Jesus died a humble man, in total surrender, without any power; this is his success. The church is a failure because the church has succeeded in becoming a great establishment. Now, upon this earth, the Christian church is the...
... fails. Eventually, in the end. In the beginning all appearances say that the rock will win because it is a granite rock and this poor water, with no power in it, not even a shape, no resistance, so humble, without any ego, so humble that it is always seeking a hollow place to hide, non-ambitious, not trying to go to Delhi, just going towards a hollow place, just to hide from the world and be there...
... women at all. Once you try those methods you will be like men. Of course you will feel that you are more powerful, but you are foolish because you don't know that finally power never wins. Finally only humbleness wins. I have been watching men and women and their relationships in millions of ways. Notwithstanding all pretensions of men, which are not worth considering, it is almost impossible for a...
... that he forgets that he is committing a crime. It is a tribute to the beauty of the woman. She has proved to be almost like a drug, and the man has proved to be completely in her power. He is ready to commit a crime for which in different countries he will have different kinds of punishments. For example, in the Middle East, death will be the punishment. He has even forgotten that death will be the...
... raped in her youth, and she could not forgive men or the society. And when she got the power in her hands she started torturing everybody. And the others left because they have not been raped. They have been available to you, and you did nothing. I know about Vidya; I don't think there is any man who is going to rape her. That is one of the problems she has come to me for, that "I feel nobody...
..., concentrated - after money, after power, after this, after that. Become a painter, become a poet, become a musician, become someone and go on becoming. Don't stop, because if you stop you become aware of your hurt; the wound starts opening up. So don't give it a chance. This is the road. For five hundred years they managed simply to have the tree. It was a beautiful symbol of stepping aside. But as time...
.... Agony is the experience that you have come into the world a clean slate, a tabula rasa; nothing is written on it. This is your original face. Now, you can do two things. One is, being afraid of this vacuum, you can start running after something or other - earning money, power, learning, asceticism, becoming a sage, scholar, politician - somehow to give you a feeling of identity, somehow to hide your...
... name of celibacy, and that is one of the reasons that religious people have not been creative; otherwise for thousands of years your monasteries have existed, but nothing has come out of them. We have given the best men to the monasteries. Our most intelligent people, our geniuses have moved to the monasteries, but the monastery reduces them to non-creative people. They simply lose all power to...
... royalty that has remained. And soon there will be only four - the queens, the kings, will be only in the playing cards. Even though there are a few, they have no power. The new world is small. There is an international language which is understood by almost all the intellectuals of the world, the whole intelligentsia of the world. So it is possible - and that's why I say it is a great challenge, because...
.... Francesco, people have to be helped to be a little more aware, a little more alert. They need a little more clarity to see what they are doing. But there is no clarity, and the vested interests don't want any clarity. They want more confusion. The more confusion there is, the politicians have more power. The more confusion there is, the priests have more power. They don't want man to become aware; they...
.... Something is wrong, which can be put right. And we have enough development of psychological sciences that the mind can be changed completely. One thing is certain, that the criminal has a very powerful personality. His personality, his power, if diverted towards creativity, may bring great blessings to the society. Right now they become a burden on the society. Thousands of people in jail are living on...
... the full moon. And he heard a song. The meaning of the song is, "I am so poor, I could not give him anything more. He must be in desperate need. Otherwise who comes five miles out of the city to a lonely isolated hut of a mystic. If it was in my power, I would have given him the full moon. Not less than that. But I am a poor man. I cannot do anything else than give my blanket." Later on...
... godliness within yourself -- not of a God outside you, but a godliness overflowing from you. The old religions are just corpses, stinking; still they are immensely powerful, because the whole past has given them prestige, authority. And nobody wants to leave power and authority. They go on manipulating humanity, exploiting human beings; they go on keeping you retarded. They don't want you to evolve...
.... HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO DEPROGRAM THIS GREAT HUMANITY AND CHANGE THE FACE OF THIS EARTH? A: It is true, no government will allow me to do what I want to do. No religion will ever come to support me. Nobody who has a vested interest is going to be friendly towards me. Nobody who is in power has the guts even to listen to me. I count this as a great victory, because nobody before me has threatened so...
