... power that you have got but not with the lust for power as such. Total frustration means you are really frustrated. You are suddenly in such a situation that there is nowhere to go, absolutely nowhere to go - only then the energy turns in, and that turning in is ecstasy. That's why I called it 'instasy' not ecstasy, because it is a turning in, moving in, going to one's own being. Now you are not...
... confusion. I am doing nothing, just clearing the whole confusion that has been put into your mind. They say: Don't desire the world, don't desire worldly objects, don't desire money, don't desire power, prestige - desire God, desire enlightenment, desire heaven, desire virtue. But when you desire virtue, when you desire God, nothing has changed in you. Only the object of desire has changed. Desiring has...
... always make a joke out of it because they cannot understand. For them God is truth. For the people of the heart God is love. And for the people of the body, the world is God: their money, their house, their car, their power, their prestige. A man who is body oriented needs a different type of religion. In fact only just now in the West, particularly in America, a new sort of work has started which is...
... tree. Then there will be a big group of ladies, his harem - the most beautiful, young. After that will be a third group. I was thinking about this third group for many days but I had no word for it. In India we call that group the chamchas. Chamcha means a spoon, and these people are suckers. Just the way you take, with a spoon, things out of a bottle, they go on taking things - power, money - from...
... from falling even further. Humanity has never been falling. What has been happening is that all the religious dogmas sooner or later become small and cannot contain man. Man goes on growing: Dogmas don't grow, doctrines don't grow. The doctrines remain the same and man outgrows them. The priest clings to the doctrine. That is his heritage, his power, tradition, ancient wisdom. He clings to it. Now...
... child becomes a part of his power trip. He has an investment in every child, because every child is a potential friend or enemy. It iS good to start canvassing as early as possible. So before the child starts on his own, he is distracted onto a path which is going to fulfill the politician's desire, but which is going to kill the seed in the child himself. The priest is interested - he has an...
... investment. The pope is a bigger pope if he has more Catholics in the world. If Catholics disappear, what is the value of a pope? - who would care about him? Each child that is born has some power which can be exploited by politicians, priests.... Soon the child is going to become a fully-fledged citizen of the world - he should be grabbed. He should become a Catholic if he is born out of Catholic parents...
... have done a great deal. They have cut out almost half the possibilities, but the other half of the possibilities are enough to create a cult: they made the tirthankara an extraordinary man, a superman. They had to, because the question was of continuous comparison - Hindus have avataras; they are all supermen with divine power. The ordinary people would like to follow a man who has divine power...
... reason that you had the courage. Whatever you need and whenever you need it, always remember I am here. Just let me be informed about it and every facility, everything that is in my power will be available to you." And I didn't have to say anything to him. He, without my asking, made arrangements that from the university mess I should receive a free pass for two years, and that two hundred rupees...
...;meditation" in India, there is no problem. When he came here, I asked, "What happened to the case?" He said, "We have won the case, because I said, 'This is our meditation,' and I produced the book. "The judge read the description and he said, 'If it is a meditation, then... the court has no power over religion.' So he told the neighbor,'You have to accept it, there is no other way...
... separate. And that is the strategy of all those who have been lustful for power, down the ages: that means are means. and ends are ends. Means are useful because they lead you to the end. If they don't lead to your end, they are meaningless. In this way, they have destroyed all that is really significant. And they have imposed things on you which are absolutely insignificant. Money has a point. A...
... not appeal to the mediocre at all because he counts things in terms of money, position, power. Is your poetry going to make you the prime minister of the country? - then it is meaningful. But in fact your poetry may make you just a beggar, because who is going to purchase your poetry? I am acquainted with many kinds of geniuses who are living like beggars for the simple reason that they did not...
... law of grace, under the law of power, and you start gravitating towards the sky. Your food is not just food: it is you. What you eat, you become. If you eat something which is fundamentally based on murder, on violence, you cannot rise above the law of necessity. You will remain more or less an animal. The human is born when you start moving above the animals, when you start doing something to...
... you need not do much: all that you need to do is to relax and absorb the energy that follows you. Prayer is the greatest power there is, because prayer makes the part function as a whole. INSTRUCTED BY THEM, NAUGHT SHALL THEN DECEIVE THEE: OF DIVERSE BEINGS THOU SHALT SOUND THE ESSENCE, AND THOU SHALT KNOW THE PRINCIPLE AND END OF ALL. INSTRUCTED BY THEM... And if you become available in prayer to...
... Hindu has only one wife. Even if he produces a child every year, he cannot compete with the Mohammedan. The problem is of the population, because the politics -- who is going to be in power -- will depend on the population. What authority has the Vatican pope about truth? What experience, what enlightenment? But still he has six hundred million Catholics around the world. Naturally he is the biggest...
... the individual. They are all on power trips. Zen gives you a totally different climate. Sometimes masters have even sent their followers to other masters who are against them. It is a very strange phenomenon to the modern eyes, sending someone to your own opponent. But we have to look deep down: if the person can grow more easily in the climate that the opponent master has created, then there is no...
... renunciation of the riches. They think the ego comes through prestige and power... renounce power, renounce prestige - but then the ego comes through your humbleness. Let me tell you one anecdote. I love it tremendously: "The beloved rabbi was on his deathbed, and life was slowly ebbing away. Around the bed was a group of sorrowing disciples who felt the coming loss keenly and who talked in whispers...
