... start thinking of conquering it, you have already accepted its existence, its power over you. And fear is just like a shadow: you can fight with it, but you cannot win. On the path one has to be very aware whether one is fighting with something that does not exist but is only his own projection; otherwise the journey goes on becoming longer and longer. Secondly, the language of conquering is not the...
... something that leads you beyond yourself; or do you dream about money, power, prestige, respectability - then you are dreaming only of bones and mice. Those who are cats will be dreaming of mice, those who are dogs will be dreaming of bones. But you are not man, unless you dream of something unattainable... and that dream of the unattainable is not disregarded in the morning as just a dream, but it...
... not is the desire for more and more. That is the way mind functions in every field of life. If you are earning money, the mind goes on saying more and more. If you are after power, mind goes on saying more and more. If you are doing meditation, mind goes on saying more and more. That "more and more" is the very basic quality of the mind. And mind is always serious. It disturbs everything...
... goes on doing just the opposite. Seeing that there is a desire to be protected, he tries to find all kinds of protection - in money, in power, in respectability.

So he becomes dependent, and that also creates a deep trouble in his being - because ordinarily, in twenty-four hours he lives just like everybody else, and then suddenly one evening looking at a sunset the window opens, and he sees things which are self-evident, they don't need any proof. They are more real than your reality, they are so authoritatively real...
.... It is only the absence of light. Light has its own existence, and to have one's own existence is the true power. The dawn is bound to come. The night may be long. The agony may be great. The darkness may be becoming more and more dark but nothing can prevent the new man arising on the horizon. In a way, he has already come, he has just to be recognized. One thing has always to be remembered, that...
... touching the bag and feeling ... All our illusions -- our friendship, our family, our society, our money, our power -- disappear suddenly the moment you see there is no escape, now the dewdrop has fallen into the ocean. And in this moment, without your thinking, you start clapping and a loud laughter explodes from your being: "I am the ocean. I have been thinking up to now that I am the dewdrop, and...

And when he said, "This bowl and this robe represent faith, and faith cannot be taken by force," his very statement would have weakened Hui Ming. Hui Ming knew perfectly well that he does not have faith, he knows only what force is. It must...
... said to the other, "George, now drop those beads! Our prayers have been heard." Your priests are no more than parrots -- and their prayers are for power, for prestige, for money. They are politicians in disguise; they are doing politics in the name of God -- the politics of numbers. There are now seven hundred million Catholics; naturally the pope is the most powerful religious man in the...
