..., unconsciousness. It has nothing to do with your actions, it has something to do with your inner remembrance. Who you are, you have forgotten completely. This is the only sin, to remain unconscious, and the only virtue to become a buddha. A haiku: A DRAGONFLY ON THE ROCK; MIDDAY DREAMS. I have told you again and again that haikus are not poetries in the ordinary sense; they are poetic, they are more visual than...
... verbal. Just visualize.... A dragonfly on the rock, having midday dreams.... That is the situation of every unconscious human being. Not only the dragonfly, you are also living in dreams. Until a pillar of consciousness arises in you, you will live in dreams, in nightmares, and your life will be a wastage. It will not come to fulfillment, to contentment, to a deep realization of organic unity with the...
... am not that miserly. Either ninety-three or none." He became silent. That shows the psychology of man. What he says may not be what is in his mind; his intention may be totally different. What he acts is not necessarily what he wants to do. The unconscious mind looks all around and follows the crowd. I love George Gurdjieff - only one man in this whole century - because he said, "Don't...
... are also an unconscious being, desiring to be respected by the idiots. I don't consider anybody. It is enough for me to look into myself. Spontaneity, to me, is the only virtue, awareness the only religion. And only weaklings, cowards, consider others. Maneesha, it is the same syndrome: bigotry, prejudice, and a dictatorial attitude. But nobody can dictate anything to me. If this mad society wants...
... are all ways of becoming unconscious, and in unconsciousness what you hear is not what is being said to you. When you are conscious and silent and able to understand, then there is no need to utter even a single word. Two mystics in India had a meeting for two days. The disciples of both were immensely interested to hear them speak with each other, they wanted to know how two enlightened men...
... Father," said Paddy. "I will just sit here and wait for the police." That is the difference between a man of awareness and unconsciousness. Now he is in a good position: the police are going to catch the priest for being drunk and driving! Either you can exist as an unconscious being - you have existed that way from the very beginning - or you can exist as a conscious being. As a...
... conscious being, all your actions are bound to change. Your life will have a different aroma. Your actions will have different goals. And everything put together, you will have only one dimension: how to get free from unconscious actions, unconscious imprisonment; how to be absolutely conscious and move out of all chains. Meditation will be nothing then but a methodology to prepare the ground for you to...
..., towards achievement; but unless something becomes a crystallized experience in your life, it is going to be lost -- you will have to start from the very beginning. There will be a little difference, and that will be that in your unconscious a shadow of your past life, a faraway echo -- as if you have seen something -- will remain. And when you again get the glimpse you may feel that this is not new, I...
... have known it before. But otherwise, only crystallized achievements go with you, consciously, into the other life... knowingly, not just a dark shadow, a faraway echo in the unconscious, but consciously knowing that these Himalayan peaks exist, and you have been on those peaks. There will be no doubt about it, no wavering about it, no question about it. You are asking, "Is it possible that we...
... known, but has been dormant in your unconscious. Life has a mechanism that whenever a person dies, unless he is enlightened, he becomes almost unconscious; he goes into a coma before death, actual death, happens. So he knows nothing about the death, and he remains in a state of coma till he is born again. All those nine months in the mother's womb are a state of coma; the child is fast asleep twenty...
... extraordinary, because that is REALLY extraordinary. Nobody wants to be ordinary. But this gentleman must be as unconscious as, Deva Sarito, you are. Two buddies had been out drinking for hours when their money finally ran out. "I have an idea," croaked Al. "Lesh go over to my housh and borrow shum money from my wife." The two of them reeled into Al's living room, snapped on the light, and...
... needed is a little more consciousness. It is not a question of doing something; you need a new kind of being. Right now you are unconscious; you have to be conscious. You have to be more aware, watchful, witnessing. Witnessing is the key of my sannyas, the master key. I don't give you any other discipline, because giving you any discipline will not help. Your unconsciousness will be there, and the...
... discipline will only cover it. You can look like a saint but you will be as unconscious as before. Your saintliness will be as unconscious as your sinfulness was; there will be no qualitative difference in it. So I am not interested in making saints out of you. I am not interested in helping you to drop your sins either. What I am interested is to make you aware, and the moment you start becoming aware of...
... Sunday so I will be at home, your brother will be at home, you will be at home -- don't go anywhere. Exactly at twelve o'clock you have to kiss the same pillow you are lying on right now. I am marking the place with a cross; exactly on that cross you have to kiss." I repeated it again and again and again. And when I became certain that it had become an imprint in his unconscious mind, before...
... conscious mind was not aware at all, but his unconscious mind was now projecting something of which he was not aware. The next day, near about eleven-thirty, he became very restless. Something from the unconscious was going on, telling him to do something which of course he was thinking was insane ...to kiss. And I was present, his brother was present and I had told his brother that he had to just sit and...
... twelve. That was coming from inside me and I don't know anything about it." His brother said, "I accept the evidence." When you become infatuated with a woman, do you think your woman is just a cross on the pillow? A biological infatuation? A projection from the unconscious, very deep rooted -- not by anybody, but by nature itself. Your hormones, your chemistry, your biology, they are...
... you cannot go against your word. All the seekers of human consciousness absolutely agree on the point that all your misery or your happiness, your sadness or your joy, is nothing but your projection. It is coming deep from your unconscious mind and the other person is functioning only like a screen. Once it is fulfilled, you are finished. And suddenly, the same woman you were ready to die for ...you...
... THE WHOLE CONSCIOUS OF ITSELF? No, neither conscious nor unconscious. That is the meaning of SUPRA-CONSCIOUS. Unconsciousness is a sleep state: you are not aware of yourself. Consciousness is self.awareness - you are aware of the self. But that creates a division: the self and the awareness of it. You become two. The whole is neither conscious nor unconscious, the whole is supra-conscious, because...
... there is no division between the self and awareness. And when you become one with the whole you also are neither conscious nor unconscious. Or, you are both together. Unconscious in a way, because there is no self to be conscious about, and conscious in a way, because you are so alert. If you can conceive - it is difficult to conceive - if you can conceive a state where there is no self but only...
.... It is both conscious and unconscious and it is neither. Question 7: AN ARTIST IS AN ARTIST IN SO FAR AS HE CREATES. IS NOT CREATING DOING? AND ARE NOT MOST FORMS OF ART THE RESULT OF DOING, OF ACHIEVING, OF NOT BEING? IF AN ARTIST WAS JUST BEING HE WOULD HAVE NO ART. IS A WORLD WITHOUT ART WHAT YOU INTEND? IS THIS THE END OF CREATION? The question has to be divided in parts. The first part: AN...
... something you are not even aware of? You are acquainted only with the tip of the iceberg - how can you take responsibility for the unconscious, which is nine times more than the conscious? The conscious, at the most, can take responsibility for the conscious. Even that is difficult because it is constantly influenced by the unconscious. You are pulled, dragged into things by the unconscious - you don't...
... know why. You fall in love with a man or a woman - how can you take responsibility for it? because falling in love is not a conscious decision on your part. It is an unconscious phenomenon. It simply overwhelms you; suddenly one day, you find that you are in love. You have not done anything for it, you have not prepared for it, you were not planning for it. It comes out of nowhere, out of the blue...
... rid of the priest within you, say goodbye. And then suddenly you will see that pornography has disappeared. Kill the priest in your unconscious and you will see a great change happening in your being. You will be more together. A small beautiful story for you to meditate... Three priests went to Grand Central Station to get a train to Buffalo. The older two appointed the youngest one to go to the...
... FILLED WITH YOUR TEARS. There is beauty in the words, poetry in the expression, but there is no profundity of meaning. This statement is true only for those who are fast asleep and unconscious. The statement is not true; it simply shows your sleepiness, your unconsciousness. As far as the unconscious man is concerned, his joy is nothing but his sorrow unmasked because the unconscious man lives in...
... create joy. But the reason is, the fat person goes on becoming more and more ugly and his eyes are full of tears. He knows his ugliness, he knows that he has missed the opportunity to be beautiful. To hide the fact, he smiles more, laughs more, appears always joyful. He may not be aware of the phenomenon because whatever unconscious people are doing, they don't know why they are doing it. Just to...
... it is true for the blind, for the sleepy, for the unconscious. But those who are alert just a little bit can transcend both. They are inseparable - so the moment you transcend sorrow, you also transcend joy. In their transcendence is silence, is peace, is blissfulness, is benediction. Kahlil Gibran has the capacity to transcend this superficial, intellectual understanding - because there are...
.... Then whatever you do comes out of your blissfulness, and blissfulness cannot do any evil. To teach people not to do evil is absolutely absurd. If they are unconscious they are bound to do evil. They can try; they can force themselves to do good and not to do evil, but it will remain superficial. They don't have even the awareness of what is evil and what is good. Once a man, a very rich man of...
... that you don't have to be punished for your past -- because it was an unconscious action. You were not aware. If you can become aware right now, all that has been a heavy load on you will melt away like ice. Now there is no question of doing good and there is no question of doing evil. Now the only thing is bringing a deep understanding of the present moment, an awareness of the present moment. And...
... he goes on mixing things. The Sanskrit word KSHAMA does not mean repenting faults. KSHAMA means forgiving, forgiving others and forgiving yourself too -- forgiving because you were unconscious and others are unconscious. This forgiveness will bring some awareness to you. Every year Jainas have one day, KSHAMAVANI, the day of forgiving, when even enemies have to meet each other and forgive each...
... was a dark night and I was unconscious. Things that have happened were out of my sleep; now I don't have any connection with that old past." Not having any connection with the mind means not having any connection with the past. Your mind is your past. The whole past is continuously gathering in the mind. Cutting the mind away from yourself, you are cutting your past and you are starting anew...
... - before that total intensity can happen you have to be perfectly conscious of your unconsciousness. Man is so unconscious that he is not even conscious of his unconsciousness. Just the other day Mulla Nasrudin was telling me: "I had eighteen bottles of whisky in my cellar and was told by my wife to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else. I said I would and proceeded with...
... only will you be able to become a conscious lover, because love is one of the deepest phenomena. Unless you are aware, conscious in your ordinary life, you will not be conscious in your love. And conscious love is prayer. If love is not conscious it remains lust, and lust can never have anything of prayer in it. Lust is unconscious, love is conscious. The lush staggered into the heart of Lover's Lane...
... become unconscious; the unconscious is such an old, ancient habit. But slowly, slowly a part of you will be freed. In the beginning it will be only the tip of the iceberg, but that is the beginning of a great revolution in your life. And then you can start moving your light of awareness onto deeper things. And love is the deepest. When love and consciousness meet, prayer arises. These songs of Kabir...
... NARI, MOKO LAGAT LAJ RE... Everybody is talking, the news has reached to many that Kabir has attained. Kabir is very authentic and very true. He says: Only a few glimpses have happened; this is not attainment. In fact I have never been in more misery than I am now. When I had not seen your face at all, I was far happier because I was far more unconscious. Before I had ever seen you I had no idea that...
