The very presence of the tree creates strength, gives a feeling of strength and power. Millions of roots have spread inside the earth, gone deep, and the tree is standing with power. Of course the tree fights - it doesn't want to yield, to surrender - but after the storm it...

.... Whenever you have means to go wrong you will go wrong. It happens every day. Lord Acton's famous saying is: Power corrupts and corrupts absolutely. I don't agree with him. Power cannot corrupt. Power corrupts because corrupted people desire power. They may not have the means right now to do wrong things, but when they gain power they will have means. Then they try to fulfil their wrong desires, their...

... corrupted desires. No, power does not corrupt; on the contrary, beings who are corrupted but have not yet had opportunities are always ambitious about power. Before they attain power they will be saints, but once they attain the power they drop all pretensions, because that saintliness was only to deceive. Their real desire was to gain power. Then they drop all the masks, then they come to their authentic...

... reality and then you say that the power has corrupted them. No, power never corrupts. How can power corrupt a man? How can riches corrupt a man? You are already corrupted but you don't have the means to fulfil it. You have always wanted to go to a prostitute, but as a poor man, how can you go? You don't have that much money and even if you have the money you will be caught because you will have to cut...

... journalist can be purchased, there is no problem about it. No, every man has mad desires, but not the opportunities. Once you get the opportunity - riches, power - then your reality starts bubbling up, your reality surfaces. In fact, instead of Lord Acton's famous saying, I would like to say: Power reveals and reveals absolutely. It does not corrupt, it simply reveals. You never know a man unless he is in...

... power. If you want to know Jayaprakash, force him to become prime minister; otherwise you will never know - you never knew Indira. You never know anybody unless you force the man to be in power, and without exception they all prove corrupt. Why does it happen? Because to me, on the first hand, from the very beginning, only a man who is basically corrupt is ambitious for power, otherwise he is not...

... ambitious. He seeks power. His basic desire to be powerful shows something about him. A man who is fulfilled, who is content, does not bother about all the nonsense that is politics, he does not bother about all that rubbish. He simply lives a contented life and his needs are simple. If you want to be contented and fulfilled, listen to Lao Tzu - TO HAVE PLENTY IS TO BE CONFUSED. Whenever you have plenty...

... fulfil your desires then once your desires have given you power and riches and opportunities, you don't know what to do, because your needs are almost dead by that time. Hunger is dead, appetite has gone, and you have forgotten completely what love is, the very language is forgotten. Then suddenly you are surrounded with much power but with no real need - what to do with this power? Then something or...

... authentic being. He is just seeking peoples' opinions, collecting them; he has not come to know himself directly, he wants to know himself through others. This is what politics is: to feel one's power through others. Religion is to feel one's power immediately, to close one's eyes and feel what a powerful being is there. There is no need to ask anybody who you are, you have to ask yourself, you have to...

But she herself was a master, and once in...

They thought simply that she was running this small tea-shop. They ordered tea, the woman prepared the tea. But bringing the teapot and three cups, she also proposed a condition: that whosoever can show god-like power can drink the tea. "This is no...

... ordinary tea and I don't serve just anybody ... show god-like power!" All three looked at each other. Nobody was courageous enough even to show himself, although everybody is a god. Seeing the situation, the old woman said, "THIS SILLY OLD WOMAN WILL SHOW YOU HER FULL POWER. JUST WATCH!" - each of these words is significant - AND SHE TOOK THE TEA, DRANK IT UP, AND DEPARTED. God-like power...

... does not mean anything other than acting spontaneously, without any thought - just naturally. All three were capable of doing that, but they started thinking about god-like power: "My God! I don't have god-like power. Certainly I cannot drink the tea. This woman seems to be very dangerous. What is this condition? She has not asked money for the tea, she is offering it free - 'just show your god...

JUST WATCH!" - perhaps in watching you may arrive to your own god-like power - AND SHE TOOK THE TEA, DRANK IT UP, AND DEPARTED. Nowhere in the world have such strange stories happened. And they are not stories, but historical incidents. ONE DAY...

The master seeking the disciple - he knows exactly what he is looking for: the potentiality, the power, how much you can grow, are you able to be free from all bondage? Those were different days - golden days - when disciples were roaming and searching...

XI. The Three Absolutes (13.6) 0:11.1 When the combined thought of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son, functioning in the God of Action, constituted the creation of the divine...

... Universal Absolute, the First Source and Center realizes extension of experiential power, enjoys identification with his evolutionary creatures, and achieves expansion of experiential Deity on the levels of Supremacy, Ultimacy, and Absoluteness. (14.1) 0:11.3 When it is not possible fully to distinguish the Deity Absolute from the Unqualified Absolute, their supposedly combined function or co-ordinated...

...-Havona Trinities are experiential — are inherent in the creation of two subabsolute and evolutional levels of power-personality manifestation in the master universe. (15.8) 0:12.2 The Paradise Trinity — the eternal Deity union of the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit — is existential in actuality, but all potentials are experiential. Therefore does this Trinity constitute the...

... the Ultimate, and even God the Absolute are therefore divine inevitabilities. These three experiential Deities were potential in the existential Trinity, the Paradise Trinity, but their universe emergence as personalities of power is dependent in part on their own experiential functioning in the universes of power and personality and in part on the experiential achievements of the post-Havona...

... SOMETHING? - YET DEEP DOWN I FEEL THAT THIS LEADS ME NOWHERE. Puja Kavina, it is not a paradox, it only appears so. The world is certainly preparing for a global suicide; about that there are not two opinions - it is becoming every day more and more certain. Naturally you think you have to do something to prevent it. It is beyond your doing; whatever you do will bring it closer. What can you do? The power...

... is not in your hands; the power is in hands which are absolutely stubborn, and they don't care a bit what happens to humanity. Their ego is their supreme value, the only value. Even though it means their own destruction, they will take the risk; they will destroy whoever they think is their enemy. In the beginning, when this kind of war material was in the hands of two countries, the Soviet Union...

... and America, there was some possibility that they may come to some negotiation. Now with the power of nuclear weapons in five countries, the possibility of negotiation has become more difficult, more complicated. And by the end of this century, the power will be in twenty-five countries" hands. Then the question of negotiation does not arise. My suggestion is: time is certainly very short, but...

... it is enough to become enlightened, and it is enough to spread an enlightened atmosphere around the world. That is the only possibility. If we can make the people of the world ... not the politicians, leave them aside; they have the power but without the consent of the people of the world, their power is not of much use. If armies simply say, "No, we are not going to use nuclear weapons,"...

... armies, the intelligentsia, the poets, the musicians, the mystics, the painters, the actors - the people who have a certain impact on the masses, although they don't have any power except their individuality and their creativity - if they join hands together, this global suicide can be avoided. Not only suicide can be avoided, but with the same energy that was going to destroy all life, the planet can...

... be turned into a paradise. Energy is neutral - it can destroy, it can create. Nobody has thought: What can be the creative use of atomic energy? What can be the creative use of nuclear weapons? If the destructive power is so great, the power for creation will be equally great. Hence, I say not only can global suicide be avoided, but we can bring into existence a new dawn, a new man, a new humanity...

... who were protesting were all violent: their slogans were violent, their gestures were violent. If they had power in their hands, they would start killing those people whom they think are warmongers. They are doing the same thing, they are not peaceful people; they may be pacifist in ideology, but they don't know what peace is. I want my people to know the peace, to know the silence, to know the...

... against all this intelligence, all their nuclear weapons will become impotent. They can create war only if unconsciously we are ready to commit suicide, if in some way we are supportive to them. It is our support that has given them power. If we withdraw our support, their power disappears. They don't have any power of their own. What power does Richard Nixon have now? Once he is no longer the president...

... prime ministers? It is our support that gives them power. There is time enough to withdraw our support; there is time enough to create a non-political humanity. And the times are such that it is possible. In ordinary times you cannot convince people to withdraw their cooperation from the politicians, but the times are abnormal and every day the war keeps coming closer. In this moment, people can...

... choose very easily not to cooperate, because cooperation simply means committing suicide. So one thing: make people"s lives more joyous so that even the unconscious desire for suicide disappears from their being. And second, make them aware the power is in your hands, and if the war happens and life disappears from the earth, you will be responsible, not the politicians. They are simply puppets...

.... We give them power and then the puppets start behaving like masters. Withdraw the power and you will see that their size goes on becoming smaller and smaller and smaller, and they will disappear. They don't have any power of their own; it is your power given to them. Kavina, for that there is enough time. And it is a great challenge, a very adventurous time. When the world is facing suicide, the...

... whole race of the red indians.... These people who call themselves democratic and think that they are protectors of democracy in the world are really imperialistic and the first step that democracy will be to give back the land to the people to whom it belongs. The foreigners are in power and the native people have lost all power and they have been forced to live in reservations which are almost...

... finished. If he does not accept that he is guilty, then the trial will begin but we will not allow the bail in any case. And we will torture him for as many years as possible. So you can choose: we know you know that we don't have any grounds to win the case. Now this is justice, democracy or pure use of power? My attorneys thought that there seems to be no other way than to accept guilty knowing that...

... only communication between me and my people. If there was any spiritual need, any spiritual guidance for somebody then she would bring the question to me. Otherwise she was having all the power... and power corrupts. And particularly because she was a woman, it corrupted more. Because women have been repressed for centuries and have not been given any power, so it is there in their unconscious hungry...

...... there is great lust for power in women. They try in their own small way nagging the husband, crying and throwing things, and tantrums... these are simply feminine power tricks. But my secretary was a woman. When I had chosen her she was an innocent woman as any woman, but you cannot say what is hidden in people's unconscious mind. When she got the power and the power was big -- three hundred million...

... dollars we were using to create the commune, and she came from a poor family, she was only a waitress in a hotel when she came to me. She may have never dreamt of three hundred million dollars. Naturally, lust for money arose in her. She stole fifty-five million dollars and opened a bank account in Switzerland in her own name. Then there was this great power because my people love me and she was my...

... suffering from inferiority complex go into politics. It is the inferiority complex that leads them into politics so that they can prove to themselves and to the world that they are not inferior, they have power. A real superior man never goes to politics. It is below him. It is always the inferior who go to the politics. And these inferior people have all the power of the armies, of atomic energies, of...

... Hiroshima and Nagasaki uselessly, without any purpose. Germany has already failed and Japan could have lasted not more than two weeks. There was no need to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to use atom bombs. But Truman was in a hurry. He wanted to use them to show the power to the whole world. It is a strange coincidence that his name is Truman. His name should be un- Truman. And when next day in the...

... good sleep. Can you think this man as human? Albert Einstein was immensely hurt and before he died he said, that "If there is another life I would like to be a plumber, I don't want to be a physicist again." The best of the minds create, and the worst of the minds use -- all the power, all the energy. I am against this situation. I would like best of the minds to rule and the power should...

... that politicians go on doing. And the power should always be with the more alert, more aware, more conscious people. Then only we are safe. Otherwise, power is going to destroy the whole humanity. Q: WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO COME BACK TO INDIA? WHY NOT ANOTHER COUNTRY? A: India cannot prevent me because I am born here. There is no other reason for my coming to India. You will be surprised... in Germany...

... force, they never used their force for anything because it was never needed. Nobody fought with anybody, their was no riots. And we had people from all nations, from all religions, from all races, and there was no problem. There were blacks, there were Jews, there were Hindus, there were Christians, there were Mohammedans. The politicians became very much worried that we, without any power have...

... Ethiopia. There is going to be perhaps a nuclear war. A very strange disease AIDS is spreading like wildfire. In this world, if you love your child, this is not the time to give birth. And they understood. And not a single child was born. The way the commune functioned created a comparison that if these people can maintain, why America having all the power of the world and all the money of the world...
