... beginning of their downfall." Existence functions in its own way, not according to human stupidities. After Socrates, what happened to Greece? It was at the highest peak of consciousness - but the day they poisoned Socrates, they poisoned themselves. Never again in these twenty-five centuries could they become a world power. What happened to Judea which crucified Jesus? It has disappeared from the...
... map completely. The day they fined me without my having committed any crime, and forced me to leave America immediately, they were not aware that existence is more just than any human court or any human constitution can be. I told my friends, "My leaving America... you will soon see it falling from being a world power" - and it has come true. Now America is falling every day into a ditch...
..., and I declare that it will never again be the world's greatest economical power as it has been. Existence supports even a single innocent man against a whole country, against a whole government, because existence has no fear of your atomic missiles, your nuclear weapons. It does not care about anything except innocence. The only value in the eyes of existence is the eyes of a sage, so utterly...
... been wondering and looking in thousands of scriptures and commentaries on scriptures but I have not found a single statement in five thousand years' literature which shows some understanding about ignorance. In fact, they are all interested in knowledgeability; ignorance they want to destroy. They want to gain knowledge because knowledge will give them power - knowledge is power. Knowledge will give...
... theological college; he was not trained in the art of oratory. He is certainly one of the greatest orators the world has produced, and he does not know any art; he is uneducated. His power and the fire that his words carry are not coming out of a training, they are coming from his heart. In fact, he is not doing them, they are happening." The difference is very delicate and very difficult ... whether...
... ninety-five." He said, "I have wanted to touch your feet for so long. I was afraid that death might spoil everything, and I might not be able to touch your feet. I have read only one of your books - PATH TO SELF- REALIZATION, and that was it. It changed my whole life. Since then, you have been my master. If it was in my power...." Jainas have twenty-four tirthankaras, twenty-four...
... prophets, in one period of creation. That means that after millions of years, when this creation dissolves and a new creation starts, then again there will be twenty-four teachers. He said to me, "We already have twenty-four tirthankaras, but if it was in my power, I would have declared you the twenty-fifth, because what the twenty-four have not been able to do for me, you have done." He was...
... which could disturb the greatest power of the world. It is not without reason that America was disturbed. It was disturbed because we were creating something that would disturb every government and every politician. So now sannyas is no longer just your meditation, your peace, your silence, your life. Now we have become involved, in a very strange way, in the destiny of the whole world. They have...
...; The king was angry. People tend to be displeased when truth is spoken, for all people live in untruths and falsehoods. And those who are the sovereigns, be they of kingdoms or wealth or religion; those that wield power of any kind are displeased with Truth, for power is always installed on the throne of falsity. Therefore those that hold power always crucify Truth, for if a Truth is allowed to live...
..., more houses, more prestige, more power. It is a question of deep understanding, of immense insight, of coming to terms with existence, of having a communion with the whole, so that you can start feeling an explosion of meaning, and music and poetry. But for the change from quantity to quality, you need an intelligence so sharp as a sword. And that's my whole work here; to go on shining your sword...
... to cut your wings, so you can talk about freedom. But you cannot open your wings and fly into the sky, and have a taste of freedom. The politicians are worried, because the youth is slipping out of their hands. And the only way they can find is, to have the support of the religious establishments. Together with political power and religious tradition, perhaps they hope they can prevent the changing...
... has failed, then no matter what these people try to prevent it, they are not going to succeed. Their very efforts show that deep down they know they are losing power. People are slipping out of their hands. So it is a desperate last effort. But absolutely meaningless and absurd. (Tape side C; seems to be a gap) There were few more questions I had rejected. But I don't want the journalist to go with...
..., Almustafa.... These so-called leaders of men are really followers of the crowd, because it is the crowd that gives them power. Wherever the crowd is going, the leader pretends that he's leading them. He goes on watching to see whether the crowd is behind him or not. All the leaders are just followers of their own followers. It is because of these people that the world remains miserable, insane, stupid...
... the uncultured, uncivilized, uneducated and the poor have recognized - still they cannot recognize, they cannot see. Power blinds. Knowledge blinds. He is crying, tears are falling on his chest, out of compassion - "What kind of people are leading the world?" The governor of California wanted to meet me. He sent a messenger. I said, "I am available. Rather than sending you, he should...
... have come himself. What prevents him? If I wanted to see him, I would have gone and knocked on his door; it is just the right thing to do. He should come and knock on my door. Everybody is welcome." The woman who had come with the message said, "But he is a governor." I said, "He may be God - then too, if he wants to meet me, he has to come." But power, prestige...
... values - where no money, no power, no respectability is of any help - are you entering into authentic life. And the flavor of that life is love. Because man is so much accustomed to purchasing everything, he forgets that the very effort to purchase something that cannot be purchased is a murder. A husband demands love from his wife because he has purchased her, and the same is true about the wife. But...
... what will you do if you meet God? And what is the point of meeting God? No, that is not the real quest of man. Almitra does not ask Almustafa, "Speak to us of God." No, she asks: SPEAK TO US OF LOVE. It has to be noted that only a woman can ask about love. Man wants to know God or to become God. These are power trips. Love is not a power trip. Love is the only experience in which you become...
... opposite of what they are propagating. But they have the power. We have only love. It is a struggle between power and love. Ultimately love is going to win, but on the way, power may have a few battles - but a battle is not decisive. Those who have never come here, those who have never come in contact with me or my people, can go on living with their prejudices. And their prejudices are not going to make...
... is like a pure sky without clouds. Once you start collecting things from the outside to create your identity ... any created identity is false, because you are not what you do: you are not your profession; you are not your emotions, your thoughts; you are not your prestige, your power, your respectability. These are all components of your false identity -- hence your ego is continuously ambitious...
... will try tomorrow" -- because tomorrow is not certain. You don't have any power over the future. If you become accustomed to postponing, tomorrow will become today, and again you will postpone for tomorrow. That will become your habit, a mechanical habit. If you understand, then JUST AROUSE YOURSELF RIGHT HERE, AND SEE WHAT IT IS. It is not a question of practicing, disciplining, going through...
... barrier. Any seeking takes you away from yourself. Don't seek anything, so that you can remain within yourself. Transcendent enlightenment seems to be different from money or power or prestige ... people think seeking transcendent meditation or transcendent enlightenment is a different thing from seeking worldly objects. It is not. The question is not of the object, the question is of seeking, and the...
... oppression, no possibility of enslaving the human soul. And all the politicians need slaves, and the priests need slaves. They don't want humanity to blossom and to release its fragrance to the winds, to the sun, to the moon. They want you just to produce more money for them, more power for them, more slaves for them, more population for them. Hence, Veeresh, your concern about my health is not just an...
... courts and said that he was mad. And the court asked him, "What is your name?" and he would not speak because he had lost the power of speech. That's what they were trying to do for twenty-one days continuously, to destroy his power of speech - one of the best speakers in the Soviet Union. In one jail they told me, "If you don't like to take medicines orally we can give you injections...
