... which they were not looking, but just groping in the dark with no sense of direction. And obviously the politicians of the world - who liked more and more destructive power in their hands - immediately got the idea to enslave scientists. Now every scientist is a slave to some nation, to some government and he functions only for purposes which are anti-life, destructive. The more destructive things he...
... rise to the heights of joy and beauty and love. They have drowned the whole humanity in misery and suffering, they have not taught you freedom. On the contrary, they have enforced on you all kinds of slavery in the name of obedience. Obedience to whom? Obedience to the priests, obedience to those who have money, obedience to those who have power - in short, obedience to all the vested interests. A...
...: aloneness is the very foundation of love and relationship. And it is a very very ecstatic state of being; it is not empty. So those two words, aloneness and loneliness, appear to be synonymous; they are not. Linguisticaly they may be, but existentially not; they are poles apart. Loneliness is darkness, impotence; aloneness is light, potence. Aloneness has a power to it. Sugata means well-gone - it is a...
... creates dullness and stupidity and nothing else - one becomes more and more alert, more and more aware. One starts living in new ways, one starts searching for new styles of being. That search is sannyas. One is fed up with the ordinary world, one has seen all the games: the game of money and power and ego. One has lived through it and one has seen that nothing is there; it is much ado about nothing...
... prestige, power, position, because when you have a position you are so significant that you are more protected by people. When you are not in power, you become so impotent that nobody bothers in any way who you are. When you are in power you have friends, family, followers; when you are not in power, everybody leaves. There was a protection, somebody was there to care; now nobody cares. Whatsoever you...
... HIS REACH. NANAK SAYS, HE WHO UNDERSTANDS HIS ORDER BECOMES FREED FROM HIS SELF. THOSE WHO KNOW POWER WILL SING OF HIS MIGHT. KNOWING CHARITY, SOME SING OF HIS BOUNTY AS THE SIGN. SOME SING OF HIS VIRTUES AND HIS GREATNESS. SOME SING OF HIS KNOWLEDGE, WHEN SCHOLARSHIP IS THEIR BENT. SOME SING THAT HE CREATES THE BODY AND TURNS IT BACK TO DUST. SOME SING THAT THE LIFE HE TAKES WILL AGAIN BE REBORN...
... sin. The very concept 'I have done' is an error, a mistake. There is only one ignorance; it lies in the belief that "I have done..." There is only one knowledge; it consists in recognizing the ultimate creator. The creator does everything; I am only the means, the instrument. There is no one and nothing outside of the divine order. Everything resides within it. THOSE WHO KNOW POWER WILL...
... him, he will not even know that he went through a garden. Whatever you see passes through the windows of your own eyes which impose their own color on everything. Says Nanak: Some sing the praise of His power - He is all powerful, omnipotent. Some sing of His benefaction and munificence - He is the supreme giver. Some sing of the glory of His attributes, His beauty - He is the most beautiful. Some...
... destination. The destination is one, the paths, many. THOSE WHO KNOW POWER WILL SING OF HIS MIGHT. KNOWING CHARITY, SOME SING OF HIS BOUNTY AS THE SIGN. SOME SING OF HIS VIRTUES AND HIS GREATNESS. SOME SING OF HIS KNOWLEDGE, WHEN SCHOLARSHIP IS THEIR BENT. SOME SING THAT HE CREATES THE BODY AND TURNS IT BACK TO DUST. SOME SING THAT THE LIFE HE TAKES WILL AGAIN BE REBORN. SOME SING THAT HE IS FAR, FAR AWAY...
... will be a loser. You want money? You cannot get it just for the asking. You want prestige, power, respectability, fame? You will not get it just for the asking. But Jesus says: God you can have just for the asking. He simply means what Buddha means when he says that you have it already there. You are not to achieve it; it is your intrinsic nature. This is Jesus' way of saying the same thing: You can...
... salesman couldn't make the lady understand the power brakes on the car he was selling her, so he took her for a ride. When he was almost five hundred feet from a brick building, he speeded up and at the last minute he hit the brake. Lady: 'What is that smell?' Salesman: 'Rubber burning, madam.' She brought the car home to show her husband and took him for a ride. Coming to the same brick wall, she...
..., but the argument is the same. When you are related with somebody, relationship brings many complexities. There is a constant struggle to dominate. It is not really argument that you are interested in or your wife is interested in; it is really a question of who dominates whom. Each point becomes a power struggle: who dominates whom? See it, and don't Waste your time. And you ask me: WHAT SHOULD WE...
... your door, let her open her door. Don't make me an excuse for your power struggle. And, remember always, have compassion on other people. They have their minds, they are hooked there just as you are hooked in your own mind. See! Because you cannot see without your mind, how can you expect the other to see it? Watch life, and sooner or later you will see an insight arising in you. In that very insight...
... very very WILLED people, who have a strong will-power, can surrender, because surrender is the ultimate in will-power. It is the last, there is nothing higher than that. To surrender you will need great will. You will have to put all your will-power into it, only then will the surrender happen. That's why I say it is an amazing statement. It is very contradictory, but life is like that - paradoxical...
... wind, any rain - is going to destroy it. And you will be utterly crushed under it, because you live in that house. And people are making sand castles - with money, with power, with prestige. Unconscious, asleep, snoring, they go on making their house, not knowing what they are doing. They will be crushed under it. ... AND IT FELL, AND GREAT WAS THE FALL OF IT. Make your house on some rock. And there...
... - an eye, an ear - which is lying asleep. And I am here especially to help you to awaken this center. Here is an electric bulb shedding light on us all. If you cut the wire that connects it with the power house it will cease shedding light, although the bulb will remain the same. If the electric current fails to reach the bulb, there will be darkness in the place of light here. It is the same bulb...
... wall was erected, and it was that I was going blind. Even in sleep I dreamed that I had gone blind. Because if my eyes were denied the privilege of seeing the very person who delighted them, who meant everything to them, then it was good that they lost their power of sight." The young woman's mind had consented to her blindness, and so the life force stopped going to her eyes. The eyes are m...
... trans formed into a large tree. We have always had this feeling whenever we looked at men like Krishna or Buddha. Standing near Krishna we felt that it was impossible to be like him. So we said, "You are God, and we are just ordinary persons; we cannot be like you. You are an avatar, an incarnation, and we are just petty people who can only crawl anyhow. It is not in our power to be like you...
... kundalini power, which I am talking about, is dangerous indeed; there is nothing more dangerous than this. No danger can be greater than this. But what is the danger? This too is a kind of death. If the energy within is awakened, you will die as you are right now and a totally new individual will be born - an individual that you never were before awakening. And it is this fear that prevents people from...
... nourishing his masochism. He's simply enjoying torturing himself. There is a joy that comes out of torturing oneself: it consists of the feeling of power. When you torture somebody else, then too it gives you the feeling of power. That's why violence exists. People simply go on doing violence to each other; that is their only way to feel powerful. They can destroy the other; that is their power. But there...
... children. If you are in your senses, how can you claim that "This child is mine"? He comes through you, that is true, you have been a passage for the child, but you can't own him, you can't possess him. You can love him, you can celebrate his coming to you, but you can't become in any way a power over the child. Understanding transforms situations. Just try to understand what you are living...
..., BEHIND THE FEELINGS, SHIFTING THE ME BEHIND UNTIL IT IS JUST SOMEHOW THAT I AM WATCHED AND FELT BY THAT WHICH LIVES - ME? YOU SAY THAT THE POWER OF IMAGINATION DELUDES. IN FRONT OF YOU I FEEL LIKE SUCH A SCHMUCK WHEN I DON'T FEEL THAT I AM GOD. Padma Sambhava, those are the only two things possible: either you are a schmuck or you are a Buddha. There are no stages in between. Either you know or you...
... a hypothetical way. They have to be used in a utilitarian sense. When I use the words 'inner journey', I simply mean that you have looked at one aspect of the journey in your life called 'outer', now try to look at another aspect of the journey called 'inner'. YoU have been running after money, now run after meditation. You have been running after power, now run after God. Both are running. Once...
..., arbitrary meditation; SAMADHI means you have come home, now meditation is not needed. When even meditation is not needed, one is in meditation - never before it. When one simply lives in meditation, walks in meditation, sleeps in meditation, when meditation is just one's way of being, then one has arrived. But you have been running too much after money, power, prestige. You have become so accustomed to...
... afraid to lose numbers, they go on compromising with the crowd. So if Adolf Hitler is in power, the minister blesses him. Now this is strange... that a man who believes in Christ and his message blesses Adolf Hitler, or blesses some other country. He has to look for other things which have nothing to do with religion. These people bring many changes; those changes go on killing and poisoning the body...
... the priest has created, down the ages. Man loves himself no more. You can watch yourself. Do you have any respect for yourself? How can you respect yourself if you are a sinner? If you are condemned, how can you respect yourself? You feel unworthy. The whole strategy of the so-called religions consists of making you feel unworthy. Once you are unworthy, shaken, you lose confidence, you lose power in...
... interested?" In fact if you are negatively attached to something, your attachment will go on deepening as time passes; it will never end. If you are positively attached, there is a possibility of its ending, because experience liberates. I you had known sex, by now you would have been finished with it, because it is childish; it does not have the power that negative attachment creates. Sex in itself...
... is not that powerful. It appears very powerful, because we have been taught to be against it: our antagonism gives it power. And the more you ar against it, the less experienced you are about it, the more the desire arises to experience it. In fact, monks remain interested in sex to the very end: they die thinking of sex and nothing else - it is a simple psychological truth. But the question arises...
... whatsoever they can get, whosoever hey can get, they are ready to follow. People are in such a neurotic state that idiots can pretend and become masters. To be a master means a flowering of intelligence. Have you ever seen any intelligence in people like Muktananda? But this is happening - and the reason is not that Muktananda has some power, the reason is that people are in desperate need. They don't know...
