... at all, it must be his own trust" - on the contrary he proved to be a very ordinary human being. He said, "Yes, it is my name and the power of my name." So the disciples asked, "Then you show us: walk on the waters." He said, "I will." He thought in his mind, "If my name can manage it, then of course I am going to try it myself." And after the first step...
... imprisonment that you yourself have created of relationships, of success, of power, of prestige... Thousands are the names of the Devil, but the essential thing is that it imprisons you, it chains you. It is in your power to break those chains, because those chains are made only of your imagination. Maneesha, the most essential lesson on the path is of having a loving heart, of trusting the existence - of...
... AGAINST IT BUT IT NEVER MOVES AT ALL. WILD AND SOLITARY, SHARP AND FULL OF POWER, IT SOARS LIKE A BIRD'S FEATHER. I GIVE MY ASSENT ONLY TO ONE WHO HAS CLIMBED TO THE SUMMIT. WALKING, SITTING, LYING DOWN, HE DOES EVERYTHING AS THOUGH HE WERE OUT FOR A STROLL. A beautiful piece, describing exactly the state of a man who has reached to the sunlit peaks of consciousness. Everything for him is just...
... never look to the sunrise, to the sunset, to a starry night. These are all non-utilitarian things, and such people are so much concerned with money, power. Their whole concern is with small and mediocre things. In Zen, nature in all its forms: whether it is raining, or there is a thundercloud, or lightning, whether it is morning, or evening, or a deep night when everything becomes silent... Zen goes...
.... When I say 'witness', I mean a mirror-like quality of your consciousness, which simply reflects. A VIOLENT STORM BEATS AGAINST IT BUT IT NEVER MOVES AT ALL. WILD AND SOLITARY, SHARP AND FULL OF POWER, IT SOARS LIKE A BIRD'S FEATHER. I GIVE MY ASSENT ONLY TO ONE WHO HAS CLIMBED TO THE SUMMIT. WALKING, SITTING, LYING DOWN, HE DOES EVERYTHING AS THOUGH HE WERE OUT FOR A STROLL. Question 1: Maneesha has...
... feel fear, he feels anger. One day you will be more powerful. He will become very old; then he will not be a very strong man, he will not have much power, prestige, finance. You will be more powerful one day; then he will fear and you will be angry! Fear and anger are the same. Just watch two dogs trying to figure out who is more powerful. Both try to show it: they play a game, they exhibit their...
... power, they bark and they jump and they each try to show that they are more powerful than the other. Then within seconds it is decided. They are not as foolish as human beings; they take just a few seconds to decide who is more powerful. They judge - and immediately they have judged, one startS showing fear. He puts his tail under his leg, shows his back - finished, the game is finished. The other...
..., and the mother feels jealous! Once the child, the girl, becomes a little grown-up, the mother starts becoming a little more jealous and afraid of her. But all these things exist only in the unconscious. We never bring them into the light, and hence their great power over us; once brought to light they start dying. And now you are capable of getting rid of these taboos and repressions. Yes, now you...
... worldly, be in the world but don't be worldly. Certainly you will become a stranger, an outsider, because you will have a different flavor to your being and people will not be able to understand you. They will, of necessity, misunderstand you. That has been the fate of all God-seekers, and that is going to remain so forever, because in a world where people seek money, where people seek power, where...
... people seek respectability, to seek God, to seek meditation, to seek silence, to seek love, looks absurd. Where everybody is ambitious and is in search of more and more worldly power, not to be interested in it looks mad. The reality is that the whole world is mad, but the mad are in the majority. It is like there is somewhere in Mexico a small valley where an old, ancient tribe exists - just a small...
... distractions become goals, because their real goal is completely unknown to them, so there are small distractions - have more money, have more power, have more bank balances, have this, have that. Their life becomes a life of having things - they lose all awareness of being. They are also moving towards God but in a very zigzag way. They may take many lives to reach, because they don't have a direction and...
... peak. It will never be the same power again. We have arranged marriages after the boys and girls return from the universities - age twenty- four, twenty-five, twenty-six. Their peak point of energy has already passed six or eight years back. They are on the decline. Because of this decline... And I suspect that religions wanted this decline to happen, because with this declining force you cannot have...
... boys. And the people of power, whether they are priests or politicians, have power and they can manage very easily. But they don't know that they are risking the whole life of this planet. If there is a choice, I would rather people are given poison than have an ugly disease like AIDS. If we decide to destroy the planet then destroy it. But destroy it as peacefully, as beautifully as possible, not...
... country is, the bigger is their power. It would be a far more beautiful land if Bengalis, Punjabis, Tamils, and other linguistic groups, particularly as far as politics is concerned, are totally independent. I would love to see India have thirty prime ministers and thirty presidents. It will not be a loss. I would love to see India in the UNO having thirty seats. Why just one vote? You can have thirty...
... personality be imposed on the whole of India? Why make it a monotonous continent? But the politicians cannot solve the problem. Their problem is not the problem of the country, it is not the problem of you. It is their own ambition and their own ego. Now you have one president, one prime minister. If India becomes a confederation, a spiritual congregation, naturally politicians' power will be reduced. And...
... whoever gets to the power does not want to lose it. He wants to increase it, at whatever cost. I have moved around the country many times, and I see the beautiful variety of languages, of clothes, of food, of culture, of character. Don't bulldoze it. Urdu has its own refined etiquette. Bengali has its own music, which no other language can replace. Bengali has its own literature, which has risen to the...
... and see why sometimes you are ready and open and why sometimes you are closed. So whatever you find keeps you closing, you can remove that. It is what all the great physicians of the world know: their medicine is not capable of bringing health to you. The power of healing is within you. All that they can do is to remove the hindrances so the power of healing starts flowing. You cannot force that...
... healing power to flow, but you can certainly do something negatively to make the way, to clean the path, to remove the rocks. And then wait, and wait with trust, because it has happened even without you doing any negative work. So there is no reason why it will not be happening. The only thing that hinders it - and there are not many things that you have to remove - the only thing is a preoccupied mind...
... was disappearing. In the early days of the revolution it started disappearing. It was forcibly brought back because suddenly the people who were in power became aware that if there is no family, then the life of the state is not very long. The family is the basic unit of the state, of the nation. If the family disappears then the next step will be that the state withers away. And Marx had said...
... exactly that: first the family will go, then the state will go, then the nations will go. Then there will be only free human individuals, living in small communes. The children will belong, not to individuals, but to the commune. But he was not aware of man's lust for power. He was just an economist, a theorist, without any understanding of human psychology; hence he missed a basic point. Now, in the...
... Soviet Union, marriage is stronger than anywhere else. It is surprising: if you want to marry in the Soviet Union, you can marry immediately; but if you want a divorce it will take three to four years. They will create all kinds of hurdles. Divorce is not favored, for the simple reason that the state does not want to wither away. It is better to preserve the family so that the state can remain in power...
... mastery of the unlimited power of matter, of atomic power, will cause his own destruction because power in the hands of the ignorant is always fatal. If science falls into the hands of the ignorant, the combination of science and ignorance is bound to be destructive - but if science is in the hands of those with knowledge it will lead to the birth of an unprecedented creative energy that will transform...
... this universe age he does have to do with their function. During the present universe age this is also the status sphere of the Universe Power Directors. (146.6) 13:1.17 There are numerous additional orders of spirit personalities, beings unknown to mortal man, who look upon Solitarington as their Paradise home sphere. It should be remembered that all divisions and levels of universe activities are...
... Seven Master Spirits are the supreme and ultimate representatives of the Infinite Spirit. They maintain their personal stations, their power focuses, on the periphery of Paradise, but all operations concerned with their management and direction of the grand universe are conducted on and from these seven special executive spheres of the Infinite Spirit. The Seven Master Spirits are, in reality, the...
... mind-spirit balance wheel of the universe of universes, an all-embracing, all-encompassing, and all-co-ordinating power of central location. (150.2) 13:4.3 From these seven special spheres the Master Spirits operate to equalize and stabilize the cosmic-mind circuits of the grand universe. They also have to do with the differential spiritual attitude and presence of the Deities throughout the grand...
