... truth, "Truth will be." That will be absolutely wrong. Truth IS -- and it is always so, and it will be always so, and it has always been so. Truth IS. How can you seek that which is? One seeks that which is not yet. Seeking is in the future. Seeking assumes it, that it is not here. You seek money, you seek power, you seek prestige, you seek heaven; but how can you seek truth? That's why, let...
... been very worldly; that is their success. They are very down to earth, and this man was distracting them. They were seeking money and they were seeking power and prestige, and this man was talking about God. Jesus was trying to change their seeking towards religion. It is religion of the kindergarten class. Zen people are talking about the highest statement. India's highest consciousness was...
... throat has settled down - there is no cough. You will have to assert your domination for a few days though. Too long have you allowed the slave to lord it over you, so when you begin to steal its power it is sure to rebel and defy you. You have decided to sit still for an hour. What is the worst that can happen? The feet turn numb... All right, let them! They feel itchy... So what! It is not a matter...
... - neither in the body nor in the mind. When all activities of the mind and body become quiet, that state is called the state of 'just sitting'. Here the word 'posture' does not mean some intricate yoga posture. If you do yoga asanas it will be helpful, for it will give you the power to sit longer, but this is not necessary. If you learn merely to sit, that is the supreme asana. Also, it is not necessary...
..., it also appears to be truth. You may be a healthy person, but if the people around you decide to drum it into you constantly, 'You are ill, you are ill', you will soon feel ill. It will not take long. The hypnotic power of suggestion is difficult to overcome. All the world declares that you are the body. Not only men, but even stones and rocks, earth and sky seem to be in the conspiracy to proclaim...
... serve people. Buddha looked at him compassionately and said, "You, yourself, are not yet; so how will you serve?" The decision happens at the last moment. Only after Self-Realization do you attain the power to decide, for then you are Shiva-like. Then you are no longer the creation but the creator. Then you are no longer a part of this universe; you are God, Himself. Then the play is in your...
... lifting of hand, to be silent and the Ocean obeyed! Even when dying, he made no claims. The enemies too were shocked! This man did know something after all. He may not be the son of God but he certainly had some knowledge and power for they had seen the sick being cured by the mere touch of his hand; they had seen corpses coming back to life at his command. The enemies also expected a miracle...
... through, silently and in a receptive attitude. Do not endeavour for that decreases the receptivity and you become closed to influence. Whatever Lao Tzu has said, in whichever direction he has tried to explain, is this only - that the feeling of do-ership is an illusion. Things happen. If man gives up his doer-ship, he will come to know a great deal, for the tension of 'doing' reduces the power of...
... knew all the answers. What happens to him? In fact, the intellect becomes so tense that it becomes inoperative. It loses its flexibility. Its power to think is lost, obstructed. This obstruction is just superficial. There are methods of removing ;these obstructions. All sadhanas, are devices to remove this hindrance. Whenever a sadhaka approached one Zen fakir, the fakir would order him not to talk...
... bad man. And therefore, we decide to kill him! Courts pass death-sentences very easily, because the law has great power in its hand. The magistrate passes the order, goes home and sleeps leisurely. He in no way considers himself responsible for the death of this man. In the absence of responsibility man tends to be irresponsible. And irresponsibility is the greatest disaster. A magistrate is an...
... dewdrop disappears. In that oceanic experience one is freed, liberated. The ordinary mind always wants business; any kind of business is okay. Give it business. Have some target, some goal - money, power, prestige; and if you are tired of all that, then meditation, God, paradise, truth. But again you are substituting old goals with new goals, old ambitions with new ambitions; nothing has radically...
... are against me. Their fear is that if people go on coming to me they will go on slipping out of their power, their domination, their folds. This may be the only place on the whole face of the earth where nobody bothers about whether you are a Christian or a Hindu or a Mohammedan. You are simply human beings. You have slipped out of your cages so easily, because the cages are not real. You have to...
... power, more prestige, more respectability; who relaxes into TATHATA, suchness, isness - he becomes a religious person. He starts moving in. If you are thinking to have more, you will move out. When you are concerned with having, you will be moving out; when you are no more concerned with having, you will move in towards being. And being is Buddha. It happened about a very famous Zen woman, her name...
.... Mind is the technique to go out. That's why you are trained in your universities and colleges and schools for mind. Mind is the technique to go out, to have many more things - to have bigger houses, to have much property, to have political power, to have money. Mind is the way to go out and conquer the world. Meditation is just the reverse process. It is nothing but no-mind. That is what Zen is. You...
... IN LOOKING IN SOMEONE'S EYES, AND I FELT GREAT POWER IN MY EYES. WOULD YOU PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL NEED TO WEAR GLASSES? It is something truly significant to understand. No animal needs glasses. It is very strange why man needs glasses. The reasons are two: the first is the physiological reason; and the second is the psychological. The physiological reason is that our process of helping...
... aware about this willlessness. You thought, 'Now I am nobody. I have no will.' You started feeling as if you are impotent, as if you have no power, and you are nobody. So because of your ideas, you created problems. This was a deep penetration into your nothingness. If you had known, you would have become so delighted. She has a bigger problem than you [chuckling and indicating the earlier sannyasin...
.... Knowledge is control. Lord Bacon has said, 'Knowledge is power.' It is. That's what science goes on doing. Science tries to know things just to overpower them. Once you know them, you become the master. Religion is, just the opposite, diametrically opposite. It is not a quest to know. It is a quest to be. Whatsoever is happening, allow it to overpower you, not the other way round. Don't try to understand...
