... IS SHOOTING FOR FUN HE HAS ALL HIS SKILL. IF HE SHOOTS FOR A BRASS BUCKLE HE IS ALREADY NERVOUS. IF HE SHOOTS FOR A PRIZE OF GOLD HE GOES BLIND OR SEES TWO TARGETS - HE IS OUT OF HIS MIND. HIS SKILL HAS NOT CHANGED, BUT THE PRIZE DIVIDES HIM. HE CARES. HE THINKS MORE OF WINNING THAN OF SHOOTING - AND THE NEED TO WIN DRAINS HIM OF POWER. If the mind is filled with dreams you cannot see rightly. If...
... mathematics, it will just be enjoyment. HIS SKILL HAS NOT CHANGED, BUT THE PRIZE DIVIDES HIM. HE CARES. HE THINKS MORE OF WINNING THAN OF SHOOTING - AND THE NEED TO WIN DRAINS HIM OF POWER. If you feel so impotent, so powerless, helpless, it is because of YOU. Nobody else is draining you of your power. You have infinite sources of power, never ending, but you look drained, as if any moment you are going to...
... energy is drained. I feel nervous, I feel impotent, my power has left me." And he was a man of perfect skill, a perfect archer. His bow was called a GANDIVA. He said, "The gandiva feels too heavy for me. I have become so powerless, my body is numb, and I cannot think and cannot see. Everything has become confused, because these are all relatives and I will have to kill them. What will be the...
... Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. The first question Question 1 OSHO, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LONGING FOR THE DIVINE AND LOVING ANOTHER? Prem Neeto, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL - all desires are the same. You can desire money, you can desire meditation, you can long for power, you can long for God, but you remain the same. What you long for cannot change you, the object of...
... have always been there; it was only desire that was distracting you. Sometimes the desire was for money, sometimes for God, sometimes for power, prestige, sometimes for heaven, paradise, but any desire is enough to distract you from your nature. When there is no desire, where can you go? All desires lead you away from yourself. When there is no desire you are simply centered in your being. That very...
... wrong could he have done in five, ten years? But they could not ignore him, and it is good that they became very antagonistic. They created so much fuss about this single individual with no power that twenty-five centuries have passed and thousands of powerful people have been born but nobody has that power over seekers of truth that Socrates has. The same is true about Buddha: they could not tolerate...
... is far more dangerous, because a madman can be cured, a stupid man can be helped to become intelligent, but the man who is asleep and is dreaming is really in bad shape because if you try to wake him up he becomes angry - you are disturbing his dreams. He has invested so much in his dreams; he is seeing such great dreams and you are disturbing him. Now to tell some president that all power is just...
... way to know what is. The second question: OSHO, MUCH OF MY CATHOLIC MIND HAS BEEN TENSE WITH STR4UGGLE FOR POWER, APPROVAL, LOVE, SEXC. MEDITATION STIRS UP FRUSTRATION. WHAT IS 'JUST LOOKING"? Prem Nisang, MIND, ANY KIND OF MIND - Catholic or communist, Jew or Jaina - is the same. Mind is a disease, and every mind crates a prison around you. There are different kinds of prisons; their...
... priests. Now Ayatollah Khomeini-type people cannot have any influence in an advanced, cultured country, but they have tremendous power in Iran. The Mullas of Iran are the most powerful people there. And the Ayatollah is just a madman! But that madman has become powerful. Now he is doing all kinds of things. People are being killed; people are continuously being killed, butchered, in the name of Islamic...
... waiting for these rapists. Nisang, you ask me: MUCH OF MY CATHOLIC MIND HAS BEEN TENSE.... It can't be otherwise. You will have to drop it, root and all. You cannot save anything of it. Don't try to save anything of it because it is all contaminated. You say: It is TENSE WITH STRUGGLE FOR POWER.... It is bound to be. If sex is repressed it starts moving into other dimensions. It becomes a great lust for...
... power. If sex is repressed you start asking for approval; that is a poor substitute for love, for appreciation. And now that you are here you are becoming aware that there is a great need for love, but you are afraid - your Catholic mind is against love. The Catholic mind says, "Love only God." Now how can you love God? That is sheer nonsense. You have to love human beings; that is the only...
... have nothing else to brag about. Money they don't have, power they don't have, technology they don't have, science they don't have; they don't have anything else. They have only one thing: that egoistic attitude of "holier than thou." So Indians are very afraid to ask real questions; they never ask real questions. I have never come across Indians who ask real questions - they will never...
... then can you have much money, much power. But what is the point of having much money and much power? In the first place they are not really needed to be happy, they are not really needed to be contented. Modern psychology goes on teaching people to have strong egos. Modern psychology in fact is still not yet modern, not modern enough; it is still persisting in the old ideology, the old ideas. It has...
... a very long heritage; it has not been yet able to disconnect itself from the past. What the priests were saying in the past, now the psychologist is saying. He is simply repeating the same, with a new jargon of course, with more scientific terminology, which is dangerous. The priest is exposed now, the priest no longer has any power; the power has moved to the psychoanalyst, psychiatrist...
... possibility. Man has been given such a potential power of being conscious that he has to be very careful how he uses it. Remember, if you move on plain ground there is no danger of falling; if you move in the mountains, if you go towards the peaks, there is great danger of falling. The higher you move, the danger becomes more and more acute. Man is the only animal who is moving higher, at the peaks, towards...
... question: Question 1: OSHO, WHAT IS FEAR MADE OF? IT IS ALWAYS THERE BEHIND A CORNER, BUT WHEN I TURN TO FACE IT, IT IS ONLY A SHADOW. IF IT IS NON-SUBSTANTIAL, HOW DOES IT MANAGE TO HAVE SUCH A POWER OVER ME? Anand Hamid, FEAR is as non-substantial as your shadow, but it is. The shadow also exists - non-substantial, negative, but not non-existential - and sometimes the shadow can have a great impact on...
... will have to disappear in death".... The basic fear is of death; all other fears only reflect the basic one. And the beauty is that death is as nonexistential as ego, and between these two non-existentials - the ego and death - the bridge is fear. Fear is very impotent, it has no power. You say, "If IT IS NON-SUBSTANTIAL, THEN HOW DOES IT MANAGE TO HAVE SUCH A POWER OVER ME?" YOU want...
... to believe in it - that's its power. You are not ready to take a plunge into your inner depth and to face your inner emptiness - that is its power. Otherwise it is impotent, utterly impotent. Nothing is ever born out of fear. Love gives birth, love is creative; fear is impotent. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were brought before the bar of justice. "I would like to divorce this character," said the...
... commune perfectly self-sufficient. This was the good part. But on the other hand she started feeling -- which is very human, a unconscious desire in everybody -- lust for power. She has been just a waitress in a hotel and suddenly millions of dollars were in her hands. We have put two hundred million dollars in this desert, to create an oasis. And she was my representative. She had all my authority. And...
... my people love me, so in my name they were ready to do anything. She started unconsciously taking advantage of the situation. She became addicted with power. Five thousand people following everything that she says because she is always saying it with my name, in my name. And then she created the whole idea that this is a religion. She collected few of my sentences from here and there -- I have four...
.... My silence certainly helped Sheela to have a power trip. Q:* BUT YOU HAVE NO REGRETS. A:* But what harm she has done? She has simply destroyed herself and her whole gang. Now they are hiding in Black Forest in Germany like criminals. Q:* WHAT ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS OF THE HOBO WHO HAD BEEN KILLED, AND I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THERE WAS A LABORATORY FOUND WHERE THERE WERE BOMBS BEING MADE.... A:* So...
..., "Just tell him, `Don't be stupid. You don't need nuclear weapon. And even if you can create nuclear weapons, it will take three hundred years for you to be as big a power as Soviet Union or America. In three hundred years your whole country will die in starvation. `And in these three hundred years, Soviet Union and America are not going to wait for you, that, "Let us India also come and...
... become a big nuclear power, then we start ahead." In three hundred years they will be three thousand years ahead of you. `So you just don't go into this race. It is not for a poor country. It is not even good for a rich country. Even in America there are thirty million people who are poor, hungry, on the streets. So don't sell your wheat. Give it to the poor people. They produce it and they die...
... their houses. Either way, they should decide it. Q:* IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT ASIDE FROM THE ALLEGATIONS THAT YOU HAVE MADE AGAINST SHEELA AND HER GROUP, THAT WHAT THE COMMUNE IS EXPERIENCING NOW IS SORT OF A CULTURAL REVOLUTION, A WHOLE CHANGE IN ATTITUDES IN WORK?... A:* That's bound to be happening. Q:*... AND THAT IF THAT IS TRUE, SOME WOULD ARGUE THAT WITHOUT A HIERARCHY, WITHOUT A POWER STRUCTURE...
..., THAT THE SOCIETY WOULD BECOME TOO ANARCHISTIC, THAT WORK WOULDN'T GET DONE, THAT THERE WOULD BE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. A:* No. I am here to see. For thirty years in India I was there and without any hierarchy, without any power structure, work was being done. I don't have any power, but I have something more than power and that is my love. And the work will happen and will happen far more creatively...
.... So we would have even now accept her if she comes back. She will be a member of the commune, well respected because she has made four year work trememdous job. Just she slipped a little bit and got into a power trip. For that whe will have to face the law. And it is better and dignified that she comes back here rather than hiding like a criminal. It is better to be back to the commune where she...
... schools immediately arose, thirty-six sects. One man they all have loved, one man they all have heard -- but they have heard according to their minds. And when a man like Buddha is there, he releases great power; and there are power-hungry people who immediately jump on it, exploit it. These power-hungry people are really politicians. St. Paul who created Christianity is a politician. Christianity has...
... nothing to do with Christ, and Buddhism has nothing to do with Buddha. Buddhism was created by King Ashoka, the great Emperor. He spread Buddhism all over Asia. It was he... and I don't think that he was a man of any great understanding or enlightenment; politicians never are. It became a new power trip. Somebody can spread his worldly riches more and more and more, somebody can spread his empire of...
... there immediately ready to grab the power. And politics remains as long as ego remains; politics is the shadow of the ego. So you can go to a Christian church or a Hindu temple, and you will go empty-handed and you will come back empty-handed. Unless you can find an alive Buddhafield, pulsating, streaming with life... and this is what is happening here. Something is possible. I cannot promise you that...
... child learns self-restraint, he begins to feel himself to be apart from his body. The body feels hungry and he restrains is hunger; the body feels sleepy and he forbids it to sleep. Then he believes himself to be apart and different from that which he controls. As the child develops the power to control, the unison of the body and soul develops a crack. As the control increases, the split becomes...
.... Many times, untruth turns out to be more useful. This untruth is very useful. So it has to be cultivated. But if our minds are forever in control and we find it difficult to extricate ourselves from these useful untruths, they will prove suicidal. It is necessary to develop restraint and forbearance. Necessities of the body arise and the power to control them needs to be developed. By and by the one...
... near and the harder he gets the closer he is to death. The child looks very fragile but in his fragility lies his power. Existence has yet to grow in him and spread. This flexibility is not possible without this experiment in breathing. But if this is brought about with the breath, it can easily be brought about in all facets of life. Your breath influences your personality in every dimension; it is...
... ones they have left. This has happened with Krishnamurti. He exhorts his followers to break all webs of imagination. This sounds very good to the ears, it is appealing, but then the follower places his self in the centre of imagination and begins weaving new webs. Unless you step out of the centre of imagination you will keep on weaving cobwebs. The power of the imagination is so great that it can...
... his stomach was rising and falling SADHANA OF THE VITAL BREATH rhythmically. Lao Tzu looked at him and said, "You have passed the test. I have no more to ask, because that which has the power to answer is now within you." The consciousness has to be shifted and brought towards the navel. All our impressions, our education and our society work in the direction of taking our consciousness...
... gods, despite the maintenance that Yahweh was above all. “Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.” (1064.1) 97:1.10 The keynote of this era was divine power; the prophets of this age preached a religion designed to foster the king upon the Hebrew throne. “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty. In your hand is power and...
... let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” (1069.3) 97:7.8 Listen again to the gospel of this new revelation of the God of Salem: “He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather the lambs in his arms and carry them in his bosom. He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might he increases strength. Those who wait...
... destroyed the Jerusalem ring of corrupt politicians. [U97_9_23] (1074.6) 97:9.24 But this era came to a tragic end when Josiah presumed to go out to intercept Necho’s mighty army as it moved up the coast from Egypt for the aid of Assyria against Babylon. He was wiped out, and Judah went under tribute to Egypt. The Baal political party returned to power in Jerusalem, and thus began the real Egyptian...
