...! Chaos means energy - energy of which you are unconscious. If you become conscious, the very phenomenon of consciousness is a transforming phenomenon. You need not do anything else; just being conscious is enough. The spring has come. Suddenly, buds start opening, flowers bloom - thousands of flowers; the inner world becomes full of fragrance. Man is absolutely asleep. The drunk Mulla Nasruddin noticed...
... you suddenly feel thirsty, then? So they keep aloof, a little far away." These people have been dominating humanity - ambitious! Now he wants to live. For what? Just to have more power, to have more power for a longer time. Man is not destroyed by other small things - marijuana, LSD, etcetera - he is destroyed by something far deeper. Ambition is the most poisonous thing. We are unconscious...
... you rise, the more you can see. And when you reach the ultimate height, Buddhahood, you can see everything. Then there is no past and no future; then there is only present. And in that clarity, sex is the most stupid thing because it keeps you in bondage the longest. I am not condemning it, I am simply stating a fact. It is your bondage. It keeps you unconscious. It does not allow you to see what...
...;All I see is a blur, doctor," the slacker replied. Said the military M.D., "Your eyes may not be as good as they should be my lad, but your prick is pointing straight toward Algeria!" That's why I call it stupid: it keeps you unconscious, it keeps you in a kind of possession. It is hormonal, it is chemical. It is not you; it is just your biology that goes on forcing you to do certain...
... is never pure. And that is the misery of love - because the hate becomes a poison. You love a person and you hate the same person also. But you may not be doing both simultaneously so you are not aware of it. When you love a person you forget about the hatred part, it goes below, it goes into the unconscious and it waits there. Then when your love is tired, it falls into the unconscious and the...
... hate part comes up. Then you hate the same person. And when you hate you are not aware that you also love - now the love has gone deep down into the unconscious. This goes on, just like night and day. It goes on moving in a circle. It becomes a misery. But for a Buddha, for one who is enlightened, the dichotomy, the dualism, disappears. Everywhere - not only as far as love is concerned - the whole...
... at least if you can do that, that too will be a satisfaction. You will try to make me unhappy - unknowingly, you are not alert, you are not aware of it. If you are aware you will not do it. But you will try - your unconscious mind will try to make me unhappy. If you can make me unhappy then you can be certain that you can make me happy also. But if you cannot make me unhappy you are totally...
... doing things which harm you, harm others. Still you persist in doing them because you seem to be almost incapable of remaining conscious. You are so unconscious; that's why you do not what you should and you do what you should not. He is not giving you commandments: that you should do this and you should not do that. He is simply making it clear to you that you are so unconscious that you go on...
... they have done it, only when they have said it. People know only when it is too late to change anything, when the harm is already done. YOU ARE RECKLESS, AND DESIRE GROWS. And in this unconscious soil nothing but desire grows. Desire is like weeds. If you don't look after your garden, roses will disappear soon and there will be weeds and weeds. Mulla Nasruddin has purchased a new house and he planted...
...." Weeds grow on their own; you need not take any care of them. That's how it is with the unconscious desires: they grow on their own. They are rooted in your biology, in your past, in your physiology, in your hormones, in your chemistry. Consciousness has to be deliberate. One has to make arduous effort to be conscious. And when you are conscious you do that which should be done and you do not do...
... and announced, "I am going to sing - and you are going to listen!" Things become unconscious. You cannot hide them. Everybody else will be able to see them except you. If you can also see your habits, you start becoming a little detached, unidentified from them, a little aloof. And that very aloofness is a transcendence. Then you will be able to say when no is needed - you will say no. And...
..., "Say yes." And then too, maybe there is great danger in saying yes, but say it. That's the way of the sannyasin, the really religious person. Don't become fixated. You can move from no-saying to yes-saying, and you can still remain unconscious and fixated. Then nothing has happened. Your disbelief has become belief, but you are the same person. Ira Schwartzbaum thought he was God. His...
... it out of habit, out of a past pattern. Reflect, watch, wait... and let a response arise in you. And you may be surprised - a yes is born. And it will be born in you, it will not be imposed from the outside. Your freedom is a supreme value. Nothing is higher than that. But your freedom is possible only if you are not encaged in your habits, unconscious patterns of living. Change your gestalt from...
... your feelings and just to be yourself because for thousands of years you have been told to repress your feelings. It has become part of your collective unconscious. For thousands of years you have been told NOT to be yourself. Be Jesus, be Buddha, be Krishna, but never be yourself. Be somebody else. Down the ages you have been taught so continuously, so persistently that it has gone into your blood...
... in one language group, you learn one language as your mother tongue. Then afterwards you can learn another language, but the second language will always be a second language. It will be imposed over and above the first, and the first will always colour it. Deep down in the unconscious the original language will exist, and the second language will only be in the conscious. One of my friends was in...
... Germany for twenty years. This was such a long time that he forgot his own mother tongue, Marathi. Then he fell ill and he was in a hospital. The doctors were in difficulty because whenever he was conscious he would use German, and whenever he became unconscious - the disease was such that periodically he would go unconscious - he would speak Marathi. Then he would not be able to understand German at...
... all. The deep unconscious knows the first language; the second is imposed. But for a bi-lingual child who is born between two languages, both are mother tongues. He will have no difficulty in moving from one to another. Really, he will never feel any difficulty in moving from one language to another. Science is one language toward the reality and religion is another language toward the reality...
... statement in his introduction: "That piece - that the part can be bigger than the whole - is incomprehensible to me, but my master says so, so I have put it. But I cannot support it by any reasoning." Reasoning is not at all the question. The whole is unconscious: the trees, the mountains, the rivers, the oceans, are all unconscious. When a buddha comes to his fulfillment, he is not only equal...
... to the whole, he is certainly bigger than the whole, because the whole is almost unconscious. In his consciousness, in the explosion of his consciousness, the part can become bigger than the whole. But people like Iyengar simply repeat like parrots, because it is written in the Hindu scriptures that everybody is a part of God. It is not based in experience. I say unto you: Everybody is equal to the...
..., because the whole is unconscious. Unconsciousness, howsoever vast, is not even bigger than a dewdrop of consciousness. Darkness, however vast and ancient, is not bigger than a small flame of a candle. A small flame of a candle is far bigger than all the darkness of the world. George Gurdjieff, howsoever irrational, is absolutely right. WHEN THE MONK ASKED ROSO "WHAT IS MEANT BY 'IN FRONT OF YOUR...
...: Enlightenment means being fully conscious, aware. Ordinarily we are not conscious and not aware. We are doing things either out of habit or out of biological instincts... Just as Freud's conscious mind, unconscious mind, and Jung says collective unconscious mind, I say there is a superconscious mind and collective conscious mind. To reach to the collective conscious mind they are going to the roots and I am...
... and again; I have to do my work. As a dentist you perfectly know how much it hurts, but still you have to do it. Not that you want to hurt, but you have anesthesia; you have certain gases; you can make a local part almost insensitive or you can make the whole person unconscious. But I don't have anything. I have to do all my surgery without any anesthetics. Just opening somebody's stomach or brain...
..., and without making the person unconscious, what would happen? The pain would be too much; it would kill the person, or at least drive him mad. He would jump off the table, perhaps leaving his skull behind, and run home as fast as possible; or he may even kill the doctor. But this is how my work is. There is no possibility ever to do my work in any other way. It has to be "apparently unjust...
... that consciousness is just a by-product; in reality there is no soul. Man is only matter. Then Freud said that there is no reason; man lives irrationally, at the mercy of the unconsCious, is not the maSter of his own life. It is impossible to think that he can be the master of existence - he is not even the master of his own body, of his own mind. Nine-tenths of his mind is unconscious, irrational...
... hours in the night does the traffic stop. Those are the moments of dreamless sleep. But when the traffic stops you are unconscious, and when you are conscious you go on remaining engaged in the traffic; when the traffic stops you fall unconscious. But you never know yourself, who you are, neither when the traffic is there nor when the traffic has stopped. Meditation creates a third kind of state...
