... ordinary as anybody else. The really brave ones are Jesus, Buddha, Patanjali - these people. They have overcome themselves. Now no desire can pull them here and there, now no unconscious instinct can have any power over them. They are masters of their own lives. Sannyas is a search for self-mastery. Anand Deborah. Anand means bliss; deborah means a bee. Bliss is possible only if you live a...
... I'm not suspecting.... But these people have been trying to improve the world. In fact it is because of these people the world is not improving - it cannot improve because of these people. They don't know who they are, they don't know where they are standing; they have not even an inkling of their consciousness. They are unconscious, intoxicated with utopian ideas and trying to force those ideas on...
... on it. Gurdjieff had the idea that the moon eats people, that man is food for the moon. If man is unconscious, that is true: then man is food for the moon. But if man is conscious, prayerful, then the moon is food for man. That he never talked about; that is the other polarity of the same phenomenon. And my whole teaching is how to make the moon your food, because it is the best food possible, the...
... really freaked me out." It freaked many out, it freaked many in, but it certainly freaked. And it brought to the surface something that you must have been carrying within your unconscious. Without this freaking out it may not have come to the surface. You are saying, "It looks like I'm much more at ease with being unenlightened and searching for it, rather than just being enlightened."...
... repeats. History repeats itself because history belongs to the unconscious mob. Existence never repeats itself. It is very creative and very inventive. And it is good; otherwise, although Gautam Buddha is a beautiful man, if there are thousands of Gautam Buddhas around -- if wherever you go you meet Gautam Buddha, in every restaurant! -- you will be really bored and tired. It will destroy the whole...
... the unconscious which goes on creating things that you are not aware of. So one can be very loving - and that's the danger of love. A person need not be a Buddha to love; that's the problem. One can love, and sometimes love is more harmful than hate because you cannot defend yourself against love. If I love you, how will you defend yourself? Even the idea to defend yourself will make you feel guilty...
... one ways. It will go on manipulating you from the unconscious. It has to be cleaned. When you go back into the memories, back into the past, much dust arises inside too - the dust of memories, of thoughts, experiences, wounds. Many wounds are still there unhealed. You have simply forgotten them because you have to forget. You go on pushing those wounds away from the mind, from consciousness, but...
... difference; nothing is at stake with a stranger. People talking to strangers are more true, and they reveal their heart; but talking with friends, with relatives - father, mother, wife, husband, brother, sister - there is a deep unconscious inhibition. 'Don't say this - he may feel hurt.' 'Don't do that - mum won't like it.' 'Don't behave in this way - the father is old; he may be shocked.' So one goes on...
... world truth is always individual, it has nothing to do with majority or minority. Those who have found, have found alone, not as a crowd, not as a company, not as a church. So these are the fears that go on deep into the unconscious, but the urge to become a sannyasin is far more important than all these fears. One thing is certain: wherever you are, you are not content. Whatever you are, you cannot...
...... He himself was a very simple man and would not have become world famous except for Al Hillaj Mansoor, his disciple who was crucified. He used to say, the question of right and wrong is the question concerning your consciousness. If you are conscious, then whatever you do, is bound to be right. If you are unconscious, then whatever you do is wrong. The world may appreciate it differently. For...
