... don't see the point -- why should I go carrying a cross? I am going into a Rolls Royce! If Mohammed can go on his horse directly to paradise, why not I can go on a Rolls Royce? There is no problem! And he has only one horse and I have ninety Rolls Royces, which have ten times more horse power.... Q:* THAT'S A THOUSAND TIMES MORE HORSE POWER. A:* They are not yet complete. My garage is still waiting...
... more powerful it becomes. Its depth is its power. So all the religions have so many millions of people with them, but not a single authentic individual who can say that, "This is not my faith but my experience." I have asked the question to very significant people. There was one very well read, well respected, world-famous Christian theologian, Stanley Jones. He was continuously touring...
... becomes the basic unit. That's the only possible way to avoid AIDS killing millions of people. So the situation is in our favor. Just we have to be alert that they have power, but existence has left them alone. It is no more with them. Nature is no more with them. They have disturbed the ecology of nature, and nature is no more supportive of them. (Tape side B) The very earth they have been standing has...
... if this commune remains; then the people had started asking them, if these people without any power can do this, then why you cannot do with all the power in the world? So we became a great problem for them. This commune has to be erased, otherwise it will create comparison. Two hundred street people had come to the commune, and we accepted them. They were all black. And they were so happy to have...
..., but you were not aware of it because you were too much obsessed with the desire. The desire for money, the desire for power, the desire for prestige, does not allow your meditation to bloom. Because the whole energy goes down the drain in desires. Once the energy is not moving anywhere... Remember, I repeat again, turning in is not moving in. When the energy is not moving at all, when there is no...
... you are not yet courageous enough to accept that emptiness. Hence one goes on stuffing in many ways. People stuff with food, people stuff with knowledge, and people stuff with many things: money, power.... Deep inside, everybody is empty. And that emptiness is divine, that emptiness is God. Buddha calls it SUNYATA - nothingness. And sooner or later one has to come to terms with that inner emptiness...
... that nobody is somebody. Nobody is nobody! That somebodiness, the ego, is a false entity, a fiction. You cling to it knowing well it is not there. Still you hope against hope. You go on pretending. You go on trying to support a false entity - by money, prestige, power, knowledge, austerities. You go on trying to prove that you are somebody. You go on proving that you are the center of the whole world...
... to your master. Why so much difference?' Tansen said, 'The difference is simple. I sing, I play, to gain something else: power, prestige, money, appreciation. My music is still a means to some other end. I sing to get something, and my master sings because he has got something. That's the difference. He sings only when he has something inside - then the singing flows, then he dances. It is a by...
... - money, power, prestige. The same is the case for the girl. It is a business transaction; hence, kings will only marry into other royal families - to create ties, so that wars can be avoided. If you look at Europe, almost every royal family is connected with the other royal families in some way or other. I had one sannyasin, Vimalkirti - if empires had remained in fashion, he would have been the...
... laughingstock. Sitting with closed eyes - if somebody sees me they will think, 'This old man has gone senile.'" I said, "It is up to you, but one thing you should remember: that your whole life you rushed after meaning, usefulness, utility. And now you have come close to death. The day you die, silence can go with you, money cannot; peace can go with you, power cannot. And if you are full of inner...
... it up again - because in the first place you did not do anything to bring it up. It has happened. It will happen again, but a happening always has, as a shadow to it, a kind of helplessness. You cannot do it; it happens when it happens. It is not within your power, within your hands. All these feelings are mixed up in your tears. Tears have a basic function, and that is of giving you relief. They...
... don't you tell him? He is not one to leave you alive if you... Every day he comes, and because he has found that you are not telling, he is now torturing me. He says, ?It is your husband; just show him a little power. He is not listening to me.' So you show him; otherwise I will show you something: no food today, and just get out of the house! That poor boy does not want anything else, he simply wants...
... for the university my parents, my father, my family people, all wanted me to become a scientist -- there was much more of a future for a scientist -- or a doctor at least, or an engineer. I refused absolutely. I said, "I'm going to do what I want to do, because I don't want to live a boring life. As a scientist I may succeed -- I may have respectability, money, power, prestige -- but deep down...
... I will remain bored because that is not what I ever wanted to do." They were shocked because they could not see any prospects in the study of philosophy; philosophy is the poorest subject in the universities. Reluctantly they agreed, knowing that I would be wasting my future, but finally they recognized they were wrong. It is not a question of money, power and prestige; it is a question of...
... depends on you. Buddha is not the monopoly of any age or any period; Buddha's power is always there, everywhere. One has only to be open. The first thing to do is to be closed to the lower. Whenever your mind opens to the lower, just by sheer force of habit, remember continuously to be a witness to it and it will stop, it will close. Don't waste energy in the lower. Then you will not be dissipating...
... continuous wars and of baboon chiefs - you may call them Alexander or Hitler, it makes no difference - fighting for territory, fighting for boundaries, fighting for ego power. Man has survived in spite of this whole politics of war because there has been no total weapon. But now that we have total weapons we can destroy the whole world. And because of our animal tendencies, there seems to be no future for...
... their own heart, they have forgotten about it. But it is there, it has not moved anywhere else. You are still in the Garden of Eden, you are still in God; where else can you be? There is no other place to be. This is my fundamental approach: that there is no goal, no way, you are not to achieve something. The whole idea of achieving is nothing but an ego trip. First you try to achieve money, power...
..., prestige, and when you fail - which is bound to happen, because the mind goes on asking for more and more - when you are in deep frustration, you start turning into a religious person. But your whole pattern remains the same. You still desire a goal. Now it is no longer money, it is meditation; now it is no longer power but paradise. It is the same game being played with other words. Mind has deceived...
