... country where the scientists are gathering. Today the scientist wields power. And it may seem that the power is in the hands of the politician but it is not so. Everything is under the scientists' command. The politicians may keep complaining that it is no use going to the moon, people may die of hunger, but the scientist insists of going to the moon and the politicians have to make arrangements for him...
.... If today the five topmost scientists of America refuse to work, America will be at the feet of Russia. Five men yield such power! The utility has changed and brought the scientist in the place of the family priest. In between, it was the warrior who was at the top. The sword was above everything. Where utility changes, everything, all other arrangements, have to change with it. Today intellect is...
... the population is starving, where half of the country sleeps only with one daily meal, where people not only eat fruits but dig out the roots of trees, boil them and eat them, hoping that they must have nourishing power. Because they are nourishing the whole tree -- they are nourishing the flowers and the fruits -- naturally the roots must have great nourishment. Gautam Buddha has to talk about such...
... SOURCE OF ALL VIRTUES. AND THIS MIND IS THE CHIEF OF ALL POWERS. Then what about the buddha-nature and its power? THE ETERNAL BLISS OF NIRVANA COMES FROM THE MIND AT REST. Here he comes a little bit closer to the truth but not exactly to the truth. The mind at rest is still mind. Nirvana happens on the death of the mind, not just at the resting of the mind, because the mind that is at rest can any...
... defend himself. He has much to lose. But when an innocent man comes who says, "I don't know much," he is easy, he is ready to let go. HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME: AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH.... Very few people came to him. John lived near the River...
... Jordan, in the wilderness, outside the cities and towns. People who really wanted to be transformed, they would seek him and come to him. Very few came, but those who came - TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME. Those who could trust were transformed. And he prepared the ground: these were the first prepared people to whom Jesus was to appear. AND THE...
... attained power. They are more dangerous than madmen who live in madhouses, because they have power. Where do you end and I begin? Where is the point where we can draw a line between you and me? Where? There cannot be any demarcation. The air goes on flowing in you. You breathe: if even for a moment the air is not flowing in you, if the breath is not coming, you will be dead. And the air in me just a...
... than others, you feel good; others have more than you, you feel bad. It is a game. But what is the meaning of it? What do you gain from it? Even if you have all the money the world contains, at the moment of death you will die as a beggar. So the whole wealth of the world cannot make you rich. Games cannot make you rich. Sober up! Somebody is after power, prestige, somebody is after sex, and somebody...
... look directly. It always comes in and interprets, and you are befooled by it. This monk in the morning used to call, "Don't be fooled by others." And he would reply, "Yes sir -- yes sir, I will not be befooled by others." This has to be constantly remembered, because the others are all around and they are befooling you in such subtle manners. And now the others have more power...
... to be non-political. The whole of politics depends on people who are not individuals, who are only phony individuals, who appear to be separate but are not separate -- dependent on the group, utterly dependent, for their safety, security, respectability, power, prestige: for their ego. The real individual has no ego, hence he need not depend on the society he society gives you the ego, and if you...
... with food. Or he can become obsessed with money, with gold, with power. These are all ways to somehow feel significant. But nothing succeeds, everything fails. You can hope only while things are far away; when you achieve them, suddenly you see you have been chasing shadows. You are not feeling empty because you don't have much money. You are feeling empty because you have not yet encountered your...
... work hard for it - or you can go the easy way, but that will be criminal. If you want to be a powerful politician, you will forget all about morality, humanity. You have to forget all great values of life, you have to concentrate only on one thing: your ambition for power. And you have to do everything - right or wrong, good or bad, anything that helps you to achieve your ambition. You are not to be...
... you; you know only the world of matter and objects. You know everything around you, except yourself. You are illusory and the whole world is real; money is real, power is real. You... even you don't know who you are. You have never come to encounter yourself. I have heard.... In a train, two Englishmen were traveling. Then the train stopped and one of them got out of the train. His wife had come to...
... is certainly more courageous. In love, and in different phases... She loves as a mother, which no father can do; she loves as a wife, which no husband can do. Even as a small child she loves as a daughter, which no boy can do. A woman's whole life is love. For the man, life is a big thing; love is only a small part in it. He can sacrifice love for money, for power, for prestige - for anything he...
... has no power except his love and his understanding. But they are afraid, more afraid of me than they are afraid of nuclear weapons. The president of Greece is certainly a man of courage, intelligence. I will not consider him as a politician, just a man in politics; his humanity remains above it. He invited me, and he was simply surprised that all the governments should be behaving in such a cowardly...
.... Now they desire God, they desire paradise, they desire heaven, they desire Nirvana, enlightenment. But they go on desiring! And desire is the problem, not what you desire. The object is irrelevant. Desire can live with any object. It can live with money, it can live with power, prestige, respectability; it can live with God, it can live with enlightenment. Any object will do. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND...
..., Ramas, Krishnas. The West is very much puzzled why we have not been interested in history. We have been writing real history - because the real history consists of the evolution of human consciousness. The real history has nothing to do with money, the real history has nothing to do with power-politics. The real history has only to do with one thing: that is who comes in the world with light...
... is not intellectual. It is existential. It is total. Intellect is only a tiny part. But somehow this calamity has happened, that the intellect has become dictatorial, that it has usurped all the power that you have, that it has become totalitarian, that it has become the master. Sufis say the intellect is a great servant, a good servant, very useful, but a bad master. It can't be the master. In...
.... He is saintly only when he is out of power. His saintliness is only when he is powerless. Once he is powerful he does not care; then he starts doing all those things he has always been against. But everybody is a politician in that sense. If you hanker for attention, watch - you have some politics in you. And politics is poison. If you pass through a street and nobody says hello to you, nobody says...
