... power," that he can sacrifice sex to attain a more powerful status. And we know it is a fact - politicians can renounce sex, saints can renounce sex, rich people don't have any time for sex. Instead of sex, he proposed a new psychology based on the "will to power." Sigmund Freud expelled him immediately from the movement, so Adler founded another school. This cannot happen with a Gautam...
... is some universal spirit which takes care of everything - of birds and bees and trees and mountains and rivers and stars. Can't you see the harmony in existence? Can't you feel some hidden hand taking care of everything? Everything fits so perfectly, it cannot be just a chaos. There is a cosmos - some hidden power is working behind it. Then why are you so much worried about yourself that you have...
... not the point - two coins or no coins. The real thing is: God is with me, I am with God. That is my real power.' When you are not and God is, you are immensely powerful. When you are and God is not, you are impotent. Kabir says: AND THAT IS WHY EVERYTHING YOU DO HAS SOME WEIRD FAILURE IN IT. Somehow or other, it goes on failing. Have you not tasted this failure in your life again and again? With one...
... minister said 'If you don't go and receive him, then take my resignation, then I cannot serve you anymore.' The king said 'But why?' - and the man was very indispensable, without him the king would have been lost, he was the real key to his power. He said 'But why? Why do you insist? Why should I go to receive a beggar?' And the prime minister, the old man, said 'You are the beggar and he is the emperor...
... MOUNTAIN TOP, AT THUNDER, AND AT THE BLACKNESS OF THE DARK. A DESIRE SO GREAT THAT IT CANNOT FIND AN OBJECT, ALL URGING SO STRONG THAT I CANNOT DENY IT, REVERBERATES WITHIN THE MASSES OF MY SOUL, AND I KEEP LOOKING, WITHOUT ANGER, WITHOUT FEAR, PROUD BUT NOT-PROUD, KNOWING BUT NOT-KNOWING, AND I KNOW YOU KNOW. MY NAKED SOUL FACES THE ENORMITY OF YOUR BEING WITH THE POWER OF ITS OWN HELPLESSNESS. YOUR...
... things, but that doesn't help you grow. You don't become more - you have more, but your being remains the same. So is power: if you are a prime minister or a president of a country you feel powerful - the army, the police, the court, the whole paraphernalia of the state is yours. The boundaries of the country are your boundaries: you feel tremendously powerful. But that too is a drug. Let me say to you...
... thing, but it is never murder. It is suicide! And one IS free to commit suicide, at least one HAS to be free to commit suicide because it is your life; if you don't want to live, it is okay. But money is murder; so is power-politics murder - it kills others. I am not saying to choose drugs. I am saying ALL drugs are bad: money, politics, LSD, marijuana. You choose these things because you have a false...
... a referee is a totally different matter -- let the fools play! But it is a great insight: I am nobody, I do not count in any way, I have no power... Whoever made the cartoon must have great insight. Devageet, unless you can accept everything that life brings you with gratefulness, you are missing the point. Childhood was beautiful; youth has its own flowers, old age has its own peaks of...
... discovering new worlds, new universes which we don't even have a name for. We can say blissfulness, ecstasy, enlightenment, but no word really describes it. It is simply outside the power of language to reduce it into explanations, into theories, into philosophies. It is simply beyond... but mind rejoices in its transcendence. That's what my unique contribution is to you. With absolute humbleness I want to...
... delicate. No other flower can be compared with it, yet it is born out of mud. Vimalkirti is saying, "Don't be worried about man's ignorance, his anger, his greed, his lust, his desire for power and for money, his attachment to things, his aggressiveness, his violence ... Don't be worried -- this is the mud out of which the lotus of enlightenment arises. Accept it all, because the lotus flower cannot...
... should relax just like a gourd in the river. It is immensely graceful because there is no resistance, no tension, no fight. In fact, it has become almost one with the river. It has no ideas different from the river, it has no intentions different from the river, it has nothing of what you call 'will power'. It has surrendered completely to the river. It has great peace and silence, acceptance, thusness...
... substantial. Personality is just a facade, individuality is your truth. Personality is imposed from the outside; it is a persona, a mask. Individuality is your reality - it is as God has made you. Personality is social sophistication, social polishing. Individuality is raw, wild, strong, with tremendous power. Only in the beginning, Gita, will the fear be there. Hence the need for a Master, so that in the...
..., yoga postures. It has been difficult, very difficult. It was almost impossible, and many times I wanted to drop the whole project, but somehow I persisted. Now I have the SIDDHI, the power - I can walk on the water. Can't you walk on the water?" Ramakrishna said, "I am not so foolish. When I want to go to the other bank I give the ferryman only two paise, and that's enough! Your eighteen...
... place in it. Logic will not agree with the statement that the perfect comes out of the perfect, and the remainder is also perfect. But trust will agree with it, because it is very innocent and straightforward. It is a trust - a faith - in existence. It says, "Can I not have some faith in this existence which gave me the power of thinking, which gave me love, which gave me heart? Can I not give a...
... well as at the beginning. Everything in life seems imperfect. Maybe the Ishavasya should have talked about imperfection, because then it would have been a talk on facts. No individual seems perfect, no love seems perfect; neither does any power nor any form seem perfect. Everything in life is imperfect. Then why did the sage of the Ishavasya think of starting and ending his discussions with the whole...
... for the Catholic Church. She wants more and more orphans, she wants more and more poverty, because without poverty and without orphans, the number of Catholics cannot increase. It is power politics, the politics of numbers. And when you look deep down into the whole thing, you will not say that she is a beautiful woman. She is a politician and her answer was diplomatic. It consoled you, that you go...
... into the Atlantic, you cannot throw them and bury them under the earth. Anytime, anything can trigger them and they can explode your own country or somebody else's. But energy is neutral, energy is never decisive whether it can destroy or it can create. It depends on the direction that the human mind gives it. If the human mind can create nuclear weapons to destroy, it can change nuclear power into...
.... Sitting under the Bodhi tree, nobody will approach and tell you: 'Please come and become the president of the United States.' That is not going to happen either. In the worldly things, which are trivia, you have to work hard. That is the law of the world, because in the world you have to compete. And there are millions of people rushing for money and power and prestige - you are not alone, it is a...
... better. Then you can defeat other people who are not so mad. Only the mad people succeed in politics, in money, in the world of power. Violent people succeed. But what is their success? They succeed, but what exactly is their success? When they succeed they come to know only that their whole life has failed. You have heard the proverb 'Nothing succeeds like success'? That is utterly nonsense. I say...
