... REASON, NOR THOUGHT, NOR IS HE UTTRABLE OR KNOWABLE; NEITHER IS HE NUMBER. ORDER, GREATNESS, LITTLENESS, EQUALITY, INEQUALITY, LIKENESS OR UNLIKENESS; NEITHER DOES HE STAND NOR MOVE, NOR IS HE QUIESCENT; NEITHER HAS HE POWER, NOR IS POWER... The religions, particularly the organized religions, have always given three qualities to God. He is omnipotent - absolutely powerful; omniscient - knowing...

... absolutely everything that is, that haj been that will be; and hc is omnipresent - he is everywhere present, there is not a place where he is not present. The organized religion depends very much on these qualities. Why? - because people can be enslaved only if God is the suprememost power. In fact, people are always seeking somebody who is more powerful than themselves so that they can throw all the...

... responsibilities on his shoulders. God has to be omnipotent; there can be nobody more powerful than him. He is pure power. That is the strategy of the priest to enslave people. If he is power, pure power, the highest power, the omnipotent power, then of course all that you have to do is just be a slave. Trying to escape from him is futile, trying to be independent is futile, trying for freedom is futile. It is...

... sharpness is lost, his sword becomes rusty. and that's what we want. We don't want him to have a sharp intelligence because then he will ask questions - and there are no answers with the parents, with the priests, with the politicians. They don't have any answers. They have power - they can punish you for asking an embarrassing question. They don't allow you to ask questions; your function is to fulfill...

... in such a way that the theologians will not be able to detect it. He says: HE IS NOT POWER, NOR LIGHT; NEITHER DOES HE LIVE, NOR IS LIFE... Nietzsche says God is dead, and Dionysius says: neither does he live, noR IS Life. Is there any difference? In fact, Dionysius' statement is far more profound - because to say that God is dead means you have accepted one thing, that he was alive before. At...

... truth, wisdom, oneness, order, greatness, power, self, what objection can you have after so many denials, great denials? He says: ... NOR SONSHIP, NOR FATHERHOOD... The whole of Christianity is destroyed, because the whole of Christianity depends on the idea that God is the Father, that God is a trinity: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. He has denied all three: God is not the Spirit - holy or unholy...

... other qualifications except one - that is, a deep feeling of inferiority. Politics can be reduced almost into a mathematical maxim: Politics means will-to-power. Friedrich Nietzsche has even written a book, WILL TO POWER. It is very significant because will- to-power expresses itself in many ways. So you have to understand by politics not only the politics that is known by the name: wherever somebody...

... is trying a power number, it is politics. It does not matter whether it relates to the state, the government, and matters like that.... To me, the word politics is much more comprehensive than is generally understood. Man has been trying throughout history a political strategy over women - that she is lower than him. And he has convinced the woman herself. And there were reasons that the woman was...

... the guests, you will know that in twenty- four hours you have experienced hell. And you will forget that idea that you are superior, because in twenty-four hours you will not think even for a single split second about theology, philosophy, religion. Think of it in other ways; the woman has less muscular power, because for millions of years she has not been given the work that creates muscles. I have...

.... She chops wood, she hunts for food; and the man simply sits, drinks alcohol, bums around, takes care of the children and the house. And for centuries he has been doing that; naturally, he has shrunk, he has lost his muscles. Strangely enough, with the muscular power gone his height has also dropped; the woman is taller. When I first entered such an aboriginal tribe, I could not believe my eyes. I...

... great thing he has done - he has married six or seven wives. Now, what more do you expect of him? He has done his job. The society of these aboriginal tribes is matriarchal because the chiefs of the society are women. They have a committee to decide about problems concerning their lives. It is not the men who have the decisive power. You have to think from other angles too. The woman has more...

... resistance - power than man. Now that is a medically - established fact. Women fall sick less than men; they live longer than men, five years longer. It is a very stupid society where we have decided that the husband should be four or five years older than the wife - just to prove that the husband is more experienced, elderly, to keep his superiority intact. But it is not medically right because the woman...

... strong materials - he pops off anytime. But why has it been insisted continually that the woman is inferior? It is politics. It is a power game. If you cannot become the president of a country - it is not easy because there is so much competition. You cannot become a messiah because it is not so easy; the moment you think of becoming a messiah, crucifixion comes to the eye. Just the other day I saw an...

... him! - that will be the only certificate that he was a genuine Christian. Crucify as many priests as you can. It is not my idea, it is their idea. They publish the advertisement that "you need guts," with a picture of Jesus on the cross. It is so simple to be a politician. One need not be concerned only with government, the state and connected affairs. Any power trip makes you a politician...

... reader, the reader wants to be the professor, the professor wants to be the dean, the dean wants to be the vice-chancellor - a constant struggle for power. At least one would think it should not be so in education. But nobody is interested in education, everybody is interested in power. In religion it is the same: the bishop wants to be the cardinal, the cardinal wants to be the pope. Everybody is on a...

..., "Never suggest that, because if I am without power then it is going to be a humiliation. The moment you lose power, everybody forgets you. I want to die with all the honors of a chief minister; with honors from the army, the government, the police - all the honors that are appropriate." He was the first chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, and he remained clinging to the very last. He died...

... all India's intelligent people turned their back on politics of the lowest, the third class, the instinctive level. All intelligent people were, simply not interested in politics or power. Their whole interest was to decide what is true, what is the meaning of life. Why are we here? At the time of Gautam Buddha, perhaps around the whole world, the second level of consciousness came to its highest...

... that's enough." He was a strong man, and when he went to hit Chanchal Singh - just as he raised his hand to hit Chanchal Singh gave a shout, and the staff dropped from the wrestler's hand as if his heart had stopped beating! Whatever happened, his hand lost all its power - just the sound! I said, "How do you make that sound? - because it is nothing special; it can be learned very easily."...

... is power. This I call meritocracy because the ultimate merit dominates and influences the lower rungs and helps them to rise above their level. It has no vested interest, and because it has no vested interest, it is free and its insight is clear. It will be difficult for the intuitive person to explain anything to the instinctive person because they are so far apart, belonging to two different...

... the Universe Son provides the pattern while the Universe Spirit initiates the materialization of physical realities. The Son operates in the power designs, but the Spirit transforms these energy creations into physical substances. Although it is somewhat difficult to portray this early universe presence of the Infinite Spirit as a person, nevertheless, to the Creator Son the Spirit associate is...

Personalization of the Creative Spirit (374.4) 34:1.1 After the completion of the physical organization of a starry and planetary cluster and the establishment of the energy circuits by the superuniverse power centers, subsequent to this preliminary work of creation by the agencies of the Infinite Spirit, operating through, and under the...

... superuniverse concerned; and simultaneously with this little-understood Trinity manifestation there occurs a marked change in the nature of the creative spirit presence and power of the Infinite Spirit resident in the local universe concerned. In response to these Paradise phenomena there immediately personalizes, in the very presence of the Creator Son, a new personal representation of the Infinite Spirit...

.... This is the Divine Minister. The individualized Creative Spirit helper of the Creator Son has become his personal creative associate, the local universe Mother Spirit.

These mind-spirits are similar in character but diverse in power, and all partake alike of the nature...

... and encouragement to the children of men. Your power and achievement is “according to his mercy, through the renewing of the Spirit.” Spiritual life, like physical energy, is consumed. Spiritual effort results in relative spiritual exhaustion. The whole ascendant experience is real as well as spiritual; therefore, it is truly written, “It is the Spirit that quickens.” “The Spirit gives life.” (380.7...

What the world of today needs is the truth which your teacher of old declared: “Not in word only but also in power and in the Holy Spirit.” The seed of theoretical truth is dead, the highest moral concepts without effect, unless and until the divine Spirit breathes...

There truly exists within you a conspiracy of spiritual forces, a confederation of divine powers, whose exclusive purpose is to effect your final deliverance from material bondage and finite handicaps. (381.4) 34:6.10 The purpose of all this ministration is, “That you may be strengthened with power through His spirit in the inner man.” And all this represents but the preliminary steps to the final...

... had not broken its law, it had not given a special power to somebody. But they remained silent about it. Silence is a support. Perhaps there was not any bad intention, because it has been noted that people are not in search of truth but in search of power - and the miracle is a symbol of power, not of truth. Truth has nothing to do with miracles But who is interested in truth? Everybody is...

... interested in power. So when you see a man of miracles you are immediately impressed: here is a man who has power. And that is your deepest urge - the will-to-power. Then you start following this man. In fact, if somebody tries to explain to you that these are not miracles you don't want to listen because he is taking away your power; your only hope he is destroying. So the people who believe in miracle...

And after seven rounds of chanting and throwing some invisible power over the man he took off the cover, put his hands on the nose of the man, looked upwards - and slowly slowly, the breathing came back, the pulse came back and the heart started beating. The man is still alive, the...

... because your mind is sick. It is hungry for power and it would like its master to be a man of power. Then of course you can hope that some day you can manage - by serving the master, by trusting the master, by surrendering to the master - you can get some power yourself. It is a deep desire for power that goes on asking again and again whether miracles happen or not. I say categorically they have never...

... enlightened and I had to make him unenlightened. Now, that is not a good job. The fourth time he never came back; perhaps he is afraid I will make him again unenlightened. Now he remains in his castle and remains enlightened! It is very easy to live in a beautiful dream. It is hard to see your dreams shattered by reality. In the ancient scriptures of the East it is called the power of maya. Mind has the...

... hypnotic power to create any illusion. If you are after a certain thing, desperately, it is one of the functions of the mind to create the illusion to stop your desperateness. It happens every day to everybody in their dreams, but people don't learn things. In the night you go to bed hungry. In the night you are going to have a dream about eating delicious food. The mind is trying to help you so that...

... is to keep your sleep intact and create a barrier for anything that disturbs your sleep. If you are hungry it gives you food; if you are desperately in search of truth, it gives you truth, it gives you enlightenment. You ask for anything, and it is ready to give it to you. It can create the illusion of the real thing - that's its intrinsic power. Western psychology has not yet been aware of the...

... that direction, that it is a false direction. Use these visions to go deeper, to the fourth. Don't start using these visions to play around and show your power. This is the greatest trap that waits for the disciple, because the attraction is immense - to tell somebody his future, that "tomorrow this is going to happen to you." One man came to see me in Bombay. He is a film actor; once he...

... was famous, now he has faded away. That's what happens to every film star. But he has been interested in predictions, prophecies, astrology, palmistry and all kinds of things of that sort. His wife was interested in me, so she brought him to see me. And he told me, "I can tell you what is going to happen in your future." And I could see that the man had some visionary power, but I told him...

... will prove him to be a failure. And you have said, 'after one year you will get your master.' And he is so egoistic; because he has certain visions, he does not think he needs any master - he himself is a master." So this is one of the greatest traps, because as power grows you are closer to being trapped. And this is the last trap. It happened in the life of Vivekananda in Ramakrishna's ashram...

... power that the idea came to his mind, "If I say at this moment just within myself, to Kalu, 'Take all your gods and throw them into the Ganges,' he will do it." He was so certain of it. And he did it, he said to Kalu, in his own cell, just within himself, "Kalu, just collect all your gods" - and this was the time when he was worshipping the gods - and throw them all into the Ganges...

... anybody. He is so simple-hearted, so loving, such a beautiful man - how could you do it to him? Awareness is not for such things. And from now onwards I will keep the key of your awareness; you will never attain to the same power again." It is a very significant story. And it is said Vivekananda died without attaining enlightenment because the key was kept by the master. He never showed Vivekananda...

... got just a little power and he immediately used it - not for the benefit of somebody, but to harm somebody. There are traps and traps. And the master is needed in many ways: to keep you aware not to use your power in any harmful way to others, not to use your power in any way harmful to yourself, not to use your power as an ego- trip. And he has to go on reminding you that you have to transform your...

... should not be doubted, because if God is doubted, the priest is gone, his priesthood is gone. And there are millions of priests in the world: Hindus, Catholics, Jews, rabbis, ministers, missionaries, pundits, imams, shankaracharyas - millions of priests in the world who depend on a single concept of God. Drop that idea and all these will be nowhere. Right now they have great prestige, power. Who will...

... insane. To me, God, the holy ghost and the son, and the pope, the infallible pope - of course he has to be infallible. He represents the messiah, the only begotten son of God; how can he be fallible? - the infallible pope.... And every religion has similar things. You need these people. They are fictions created by your misery, cunning people using your misery to exploit you and to have their power...

... when he is in power. Even the pope says, "He is the most wise man, the most democratic, most human" - Benito Mussolini! And the same pope, after Benito Mussolini is defeated, will declare him a fascist. And these are infallible people. Now another politician is there who has to be blessed, who is against Benito Mussolini; they will bless him too. Can't you see a simple conspiracy between...

... Lama. The American government stopped him from entering the country because that would create enmity with China. And for America, the Dalai Lama has no meaning because these few Buddhists don't count. What I am telling you is that these politicians and these priests have been constantly in conspiracy, working together hand in hand. The politician has the political power; the priest has the religious...

... power. The politician protects the priest, the priest blesses the politician - and the masses are exploited, sucked; their blood is sucked by both. Remove God and you remove the politicians, you remove the politics, you remove the priest, you remove the conspiracy between the priest and the politician. And with these two removed, fifty percent of your miseries will disappear. The idea of God gives you...

... that you see all around is rooted in man. And if man remains the same, this tension will go on increasing, this anguish will go on increasing. There is every possibility that by the end of this century the whole of humanity may commit suicide, a global war. And it is not very difficult to imagine its possibility, because the people who are in power, the people who have nuclear weapons, are so third...

... now. That much nuclear power is there, available, to destroy each person seven hundred times - although it is not needed, one time is enough. But politicians don't want to take any chances. Their faces are all masks: they say one thing, they do another thing. And the power is in such people's hands. Any crackpot can push a button and can finish the whole of humanity, the whole of life on the earth...

..., sophisticated countries, has given great poets, painters, scientists, philosophers... in every dimension Germany's contribution is great. But one simply feels amazed that this country of Hegel, Feuerbach, Kant, Marx, Freud, Einstein - this country came under the power of Adolf Hitler, who was nothing but a madman. What happened? Even a man like Martin Heidegger, who was the topmost philosopher of the...

... was as if awakened from a dream. Then he realized what he had done: "This man was simply mad, and I have supported him." That's what I say: even when your eyes are fully open, you may be dreaming. Now he was dreaming, and he was projecting his dream on Adolf Hitler because he saw that this man has power, has the power to impress the masses, which Martin Heidegger had not. He could not even...

... head. And if this man was going to be your examiner too, you were finished. And when he had been there for two, three years in one university, then the university would say to him, "You move; nobody is going to come here." Then finally they decided to make him the vice-chancellor of the university so he did not teach. He had no power over the masses, and he saw Adolf Hitler - the masses...

... outer enemy - the enemy was within man. He created monsters as far as machines are concerned, but he himself remained very retarded, unconscious, almost asleep. And it is very dangerous to give so much power to unconscious people. The same is happening today. Politicians are the lowest kind as far as consciousness is concerned. They are clever, they are cunning, they are mean, too; and they make every...

... effort for a single goal - how to be more powerful. Their only desire is for more power - not for more peace, not for more being, not for more truth, not for more love. And what do you need more power for? - to dominate others, to destroy others. All the power accumulates in the hands of unconscious people. So on the one hand, politicians in all the civilizations that have developed and died - it would...

... be better to say have committed suicide - had all the power in their hands. And on the other hand the genius of human intelligence was searching for more and more technological, scientific ways, and all that they discovered finally had to go into the hands of the politicians. It was Albert Einstein who wrote a letter to President Roosevelt. He had escaped from Germany. In Germany he was researching...

...; Immediately Roosevelt invited him and created all the facilities to make the atom bomb. By the time the atom bomb was ready, Roosevelt was no longer president; Truman had come in his place. Germany was defeated, and it was only a question of seven days at the most - that's what all military experts of the world agree before Japan was going to surrender. There was no way... because all the power had been...

... use atomic bombs, which had been created with so much money. And he would not be able to show the whole world that America was the greatest power, that he was the man who holds the key to the greatest power. Those bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not meant just to defeat Japan. Their basic purpose was totally different - an ego fulfillment for President Truman: "I am the greatest, the most...

... like fire-crackers. By the year 2010, twenty-five other nations will also be nuclear powers. It is going to be beyond control - thirty nations having so much destructiveness that a single nation could destroy the whole earth. A single crazy man, a single politician, to show his power, can destroy the whole of civilization; and you have to begin from ABC. And the destruction is not only of humanity...

... other day the prime minister of the Soviet Union declared that there are thousands of submarines underneath the ocean, moving around the world. Each submarine is carrying so much nuclear power that it is equal to one thousand second world wars. One submarine... and there are thousands of submarines, Russian and American, underneath the water. The explosion can happen just by accident. There is no need...

But unconsciously they have written a sentence on the memorial which I loved, which I would have suggested to them to write. The sentence is, "Evil forces win only when good people remain silent." That sentence is in our...

... to tell about them. You were aware even that my personal physician was being poisoned, that efforts were being made to kill Vivek, my caretaker. You remained part of the gang, a small group which wanted to have absolute power in the commune. And anybody who was not with them their argument was, was against them. You knew everything, still you never came to tell me. Even when I started speaking, you...

... be a light unto themselves. You ask me, "IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE HONEST, INTELLIGENT, RELIGIOUS, AND YET IN POLITICS?" Why should a religious person be in politics? For what? Politics is a power-trip. The religious person is simply dissolving himself The religious person is going in the opposite direction, where the ego has to be dissolved utterly. It is not a power-trip, it is just the...

... opposite. Yes, when the religious person has disappeared great power descends, but it is not your power, it is God's power. The politician is for his own power; he wants to be powerful. He wants to command armies, nations. Deep down he is suffering from an inferiority complex. Deep down he knows his worthlessness. He wants to prove to himself and to others that he is not worthless, that he is great...

... a while he can give an entertainment to a party or in a club or in a hotel - just entertainment. Otherwise, what is his power? Once he was very powerful; he still is in primitive societies. In African tribal communes he is still very powerful - people believe that he has power. Now we know that he has no power; he has power only because people believe he has power. His power is not in him but in...

... people's beliefs. Now the magician is gone. Then the priest became very powerful; even kings were not so powerful as the priest. Now where is the priest? What is his power now? - no power at all! He has become part of the past. Let me tell you, sooner or later the politician will go the same way - down the drain - as the magician has gone, as the priest has gone, as the kings have gone. So is it going to...

... are crazy, they will chose you only when you are not. And if you try to be, the more you succeed in being somebody, the more you will miss. This is what we are doing in the world and this we start doing around a buddha also. You crave for riches. Why? -- because with riches you become someone. You crave for prestige and power. Why? -- because with power and prestige you are not ordinary. You crave...

... so much; any day it was going to happen. There is no surprise in it for me.' HE WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE POTENCY OF EMPTINESS - by being empty! You don't know the power of emptiness. You don't know the power of being totally absent within. You know only the poverty of the ego. But try to understand. With ego have you ever felt really powerful? With ego you always feel impotent. That's why the ego...

... a million rupees and you are impotent. The ego says, 'No, one million won't do, have ten million rupees.' And I tell you -- with ten million rupees you will be tenfold more impotent, that's all. And then the ego will say, 'No, this won't do....' NOTHING will do with ego. Everything proves only that you are impotent, powerless. The more power you gain the more powerless you feel in contrast. The...

... richer you become the poorer you feel. The more healthy you are, the more afraid of death; the younger, the more you feel old age is coming nearer. The opposite is just around the corner, and if you have a little understanding, the opposite is just reaching you -- around your neck. The more beautiful you are, the more you feel the inner ugliness. Ego has never felt powerful. It only dreams of power, it...

... thinks of power, it contemplates on power -- but those are simply dreams and nothing else. And dreams are there just to hide the impotence that is within you. But dreams cannot hide the reality. Whatsoever you do, from here or from there, from a loophole, again the reality comes in and shatters all dreams. Ego is the most impotent thing in the world. But nobody realizes it, because it goes on asking...

... it is there; when you don't go to the horizon, suddenly you realize that it has been always yours -- you never lived it. It is there inside, and you seek it outside. It is there within you and you go without. You are carrying it: the suprememost power, the divine itself, is in you. And you are looking here and there like a beggar. HE WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE POTENCY OF EMPTINESS. Just being empty...

..., you will understand -- there is no other way of understanding. Whatsoever you want to understand, be that, because that is the only way. Try being an ordinary man, nobody, with no name, no identity, with nothing to claim, with no power to enforce on others, with no effort to dominate, with no desire to possess, just being a nonentity. Try it -- and see how powerful you become, how filled with energy...

... and overflowing, so powerful that you can share your power, so blissful that you can give it to many, to millions. And the more you give, the more you are enriched. The more you share, the more it grows. You become a flood. HE WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE POTENCY OF EMPTINESS -- just by being nobody -- THE VIEWPOINT THAT NOTHING EXISTS EXCEPT IN ITS RELATIONSHIP OF SUBJECTIVITY AND OBJECTIVITY. This...

... become happy. You have convinced yourself. Looking into others' eyes, you are trying to cover your own failure. Negative emptiness is useless. It is simply the absence of something. Positive emptiness is presence of something, not absence; that's why positive emptiness becomes a power. Negative emptiness becomes a sad, depressed state of mind -- you simply cave yourself inwards, that's all. Feeling a...

... try the futile. And one NEVER says that the object of desire is wrong; when you are in positive sublime emptiness, you say desire is wrong, not the object of desire -- this is the difference. In negative emptiness you say the object of desire is wrong, so change the object ! If it is wealth, money, power -- drop it! Make the object God, liberation, heaven -- change the object! If emptiness is...

... meditate, to be silent, to be peaceful, to be human, to be loving. Only through meditation can we defeat the politicians -- and the politicians need to be totally defeated. Their power has to be destroyed forever. Their nuclear weapons and their atomic weapons have to be thrown in the Atlantic and in the Pacific. And if they want to jump with them they can jump also, because they are the greatest...

... before now?" "Well," replied the embarrassed husband, "frankly, we needed the eggs." This is going on with almost every couple; they are driving each other crazy. This is not love. If this is love then what is hate? The very idea of domination, the very desire to be powerful over others shows a poverty of soul. It shows that you don't have power over yourself; hence the desire...

... to have power over others. That's why I say the politician is the poorest person in the world, because his desire is to have power over millions of people. This desire shows his poverty. He has no power over himself and he wants to have power. But it does not matter... he may have power over one person or one million people or one billion people -- it does not matter. His inner feeling of...

... inferiority, that he has no power within himself will remain the same. He can deceive the world but he cannot deceive himself. That's the difference between the politician and the religious person. The religious person searches for power over himself, and the politician searches for power over others. The politician is bound to be violent, destructive, ugly, barbarous. Only a man who wants to be the power...
