... yourselves. It is hard, arduous, to reach to that point. VAJRAYANA is Tantra, Buddhist Tantra, pure Tantra. But just look at the arrangement of things! HINAYANA is the first step, and HINAYANA seems to be absolutely repressive. But Buddha says: Unless you change your old patterns, you can go on rationalizing and you can go on living in your unconscious, robotlike life, and you can go on repeating it again...
..., and suddenly you find a diamond there by the side just waiting for you. Suddenly it catches your eyes - desire arises. You look all around: Is anybody seeing or not? You have become a thief. And you had not been thinking about a diamond; there was no desire at all. Just the eye contact and the desire has arisen from the unconscious. It must have been in the unconscious, otherwise it cannot arise...
.... Buddha says: You know well, your unconscious is full of sexuality, so better not to stare; otherwise that which is in the unconscious will be stirred again and again. And that which is stirred again and again is strengthened. That which is stirred again and again and never allowed to rest and disappear becomes stronger. And a monk is one who has decided to drop out of relationship. "... YOU SHOULD...
... 1/10th of the strength of the unconscious mind. I explain to you that anger is bad. You understand. But the intellect that has understood, has never been angry! Anger comes from the nine parts of the Unconscious that lie behind the conscious mind. Take it this way I live in a house. There is a guard at the door of this house. Now this poor man causes no mischief. Whenever there is trouble it is...
... watchman. The book appeals to you and you say it is correct. But when the other nine parts of the mind are filled with desire for sex, this one part of the conscious mind becomes ineffective and helpless. It is brushed aside by the wave of desire that rises from the folds of the unconscious. The intellect is assigned only one job: To try and understand at one time and sit and repent at another. This one...
... repeated the listener will complain that his time is being wasted. He will say, "I have understood. Now proceed further." Today, people who are experimenting with the unconscious mind, are doing nothing except repeating. For instance, there was a great psychologist in Paris by the name of Emile Coue who cured thousands of people. He used to lay his patient on a couch and repeat continuously for...
... the new and not in the old - will soon get bored and go off to sleep. Hypnosis is only this and no more. The superficial consciousness is put to sleep. But Emile keeps repeating. Then when the conscious mind falls off to sleep, the layers of the unconscious pick up the echo. After sometime, these layers also fall off to sleep. Then the layers behind these, pick up the suggestion. This goes on and on...
... from now that you are not to think about past lives. Let the memories come up by themselves. No conscious effort on your part is needed. On the contrary it will be a great hindrance. Let the unconscious do the work. You be just a witness. And as the meditation will go deeper many locked doors will be opened to you. But always remember to wait for the mysteries to reveal themselves. The seed is broken...
..., because I don't have any condemnation for anyone. People are unconscious, they go on doing things and they don't know where it will lead them, what will be the consequences. So it is not just you; everybody is in the same boat. And one should always be alert that whenever he finds that he has done something wrong - although there was a certain feeling that this is not the thing to do - still one went on...
..., SOMETIMES, SITTING WITH YOU IN DISCOURSE, EVERYTHING INSIDE ME BECOMES SO RELAXED, SO SILENT, THAT MY MIND SEEMS TO STOP THINKING THOUGHTS, AND ALTHOUGH I HEAR THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE, THE WORDS CEASE TO CARRY ANY MEANING. HOWEVER, THIS STATE LACKS A CERTAIN ALERTNESS, AS IF WHEN THE MIND BECOMES SILENT I FALL UNCONSCIOUS. HAVE YOU AN ALARM CLOCK FOR MY WITNESS? Aneesha, what do you think my jokes are for...
.... Bliss is the conscious or unconscious search of all beings - even trees are seeking for it, rivers are moving towards it. The whole existence is a longing for bliss, but only man can attain it; that is man's dignity, his grandeur. But that also creates a great problem: only man can become miserable too. A tree gropes for happiness, for bliss, but the whole groping is unconscious. It cannot achieve it...
... intelligently. Bliss is sure proof. The miserable person simply proves that he has been living stupidly. The tree is known by its fruit Either you grow the fruit of bliss or the fruit of misery - and you will be known by the fruit. Bliss requires only one thing, to be more aware in your life, just as misery also requires only one thing - to be unconscious, more unconscious in your life. Do anything out of...
.... Length: N.A. Dear Atmananda, Love. Bhakti needs only time to absorb the shock she has come across her deep meditations. Remember: only TIME and nothing else. The shock is nothing new. It happens whenever the deeper layers of the unconscious are encountered. Before any mutation this is absolutely necessary. Be grateful to the Divine because this is a good omen. Bhakti needed it badly; and when she is...
... have to be half conscious, half unconscious. It is a noontide meditation -- when you are alert, but you feel sleepy. It is just like a man who is under the influence of some intoxicant. He walks, but cannot walk rightly; he knows where he is going, but everything is dim. He is conscious and not conscious. He knows he has taken alcohol, he knows his feet are wavering, but he knows this half-asleep...
... unconscious; don't bother at all. The night has come, the sun has set, now everything is moving into unconsciousness. Move into unconsciousness. This whirling, Sufi whirling, is one of the most ancient techniques, one of the most forceful. It is so deep that even a single experience can make you totally different. You have to whirl with open eyes, just like small children go on twirling, as if your inner...
... the whirling itself come to a point where you fall down. When you fall down, fall down on your stomach; and it will be good if your stomach is in direct touch with the earth. Then close the eyes. Lie down on the earth as if lying down on the breast of your mother, a small child lying down on the breast of the mother. Become completely unconscious. And this whirling will help. Whirling gives...
..., if before death comes you have escaped, if you have become unconscious because of the fear, you have missed one of the golden opportunities, the golden gate. If your whole life you have been accepting things, when death comes, patiently, passively you will accept and enter into it without any effort to escape. If you can enter death passively, silently, without any effort, death disappears. When...
... woman and the unconscious of a man, and the man has the consciousness of a man and the unconscious of a woman. But BOTH are both! That's why it is possible to be homosexuals, lesbians; otherwise it would be impossible. This phenomenon has been happening down the ages; it is nothing new. The reason is simple: because the man is only half man and half woman; the woman part is hidden deep in the darkness...
.... But the conscious part can become tired, and when the conscious part becomes tired the unconscious takes over. Hence he may have the body of a man, but he starts functioning like a woman. And the same happens to a lesbian: on the surface she is a woman, but deep down the unconscious male energy has taken possession. Things have become upside-down. It will affect her physiology too. There are a few...
... the king." This is how the barbarous mind functions. The king asks the young man to come to his palace - inviting him - but deep down his unconscious wants him not to accept his invitation because that will mean he is still desirous of luxuries and palaces. But that young man simply stood up, and he said, "I am coming." Immediately the whole scene changed. The mind of the king was...
... applicable to him also. I cannot talk to each of you differently; it is an impossibility. Every person to me is symbolic. What I said about Anando is just symbolic - you all have to ponder over it. Perhaps the same tendencies, the same unconscious feelings, jealousies, greed, ambitions may be hiding in you. Most probably they are. Before enlightenment you all have this barbarous mind. Anando is not an...
... have." They go on repressing all their ugliness in the unconsciousness. This is not going to be helpful in your awakening. These unconscious repressed desires, feelings, attitudes, are all going to become a hindrance to your enlightenment. My effort, in different ways - answering your question, or telling a joke, or talking about strange sutras of strange people - is simply to help you face your...
... own repressed mind. Once you encounter it, then the only secret to be learned, which I teach every time, is to witness them. Don't do anything. Don't condemn them, otherwise they will immediately go deeper into the darkness of your unconscious mind. Don't condemn them, don't appreciate them, otherwise they will become attached to your conscious mind. Don't make any judgment for or against. Just...
