... transcendence. The animal is not even conscious, he is simply unconsciously authentic. But the animal IS authentic, although the authenticity is unconscious. No animal can lie; that is impossible. But it is not because animals maintain a morality, they cannot lie because they are not aware of the possibility that one can be false. They are bound to be true, but that truth is not their choice, it is their...
... slavery. An animal is bound to be true, not because he has chosen to be true, but because he cannot choose the other alternative. There is no alternative for him; he can only be himself. There is no possibility to be false because he is unconscious of possibilities. Man is conscious of possibilities. Only man can be untrue. That is a growth! That is evolution! Man can be untrue and that is why he can be...
... simple and pure and innocent just like animals. That innocence is unconscious, and man has become conscious. Now he can do two things: he may go on with his falsities, with his falseness, and constantly remain a divided being in conflict with himself. Or he may become conscious of the whole phenomenon of what has happened and what is happening to him, and he may decide not to be false. He may leave all...
... that is false. He may sacrifice, he may choose to sacrifice whatsoever can be gained by being false. Then he becomes again authentic. But this authenticity is different, qualitatively different from the authenticity of an animal. The animal is unconscious. He cannot do anything - he is forced by nature to be authentic. When a man decides to be authentic, no one is forcing him; on the contrary...
... feel that a sneeze is coming become alert, and the sneeze may not come at all. It may simply disappear, because a sneeze is a non- voluntary thing - unconscious, non-voluntary. You cannot sneeze voluntarily; you cannot "will" it. How can you? How helpless man is! You cannot "will" a single sneeze. Howsoever you may try, you cannot bring it out. A single sneeze - such a small thing...
... you become habituated to snuff, it is very difficult to leave it. It is more penetrating a habit than smoking; smoking is nothing before it. It penetrates more deeply, because smoking is conscious and sneezing is unconscious. To leave snuff is more difficult than to leave smoking. And smoking can be changed, substitutes can be found - but there is no substitute for snuff, because, really, sneezing...
... is that if the mind is not there and you are alert, you will have SATORI, you will have the first glimpse of SAMADHI. Thought is the barrier. So if thought disappears in any way, the thing will happen. But thought must disappear; only then is alertness there. Thought can disappear even in sleep; thought can disappear when you go unconscious; thought can disappear when you take some drug. Thought...
... disappears, but then there is no alertness to be aware of the phenomenon that is hidden behind thought. So I define meditation as thoughtless consciousness. You can become thoughtless and unconscious; then there is no meaning. You can be conscious with thought; you are already that. Bring these two things together - consciousness and thoughtlessness. When they meet, meditation happens, meditation is born...
... Ali. Then glancing down in great excitement he let out a blood-curdling howl, "My God, I clean forgot!" he babbled. "Yesterday I was riding Nellie!" Man lives almost in a kind of deep sleep. He is not aware who he is, what he is doing, what he is thinking, where he is going, why he is going. His whole life is the life of a somnambulist, a sleepwalker. He is utterly unconscious...
... could the world be made a better place to live in. By murdering millions of Jews, he was not thinking that he was doing any violence - he was serving humanity, he was getting rid of the enemies of humanity. And it was not a question of his befooling anybody - he was so unconscious that he himself was befooled by his own convictions. Adolf Hitler did great mischief - all the politicians do. And they...
... master is a master of himself; he is no longer unconscious. Whatsoever he does, he does it knowingly. Whatsoever he is, he is perfectly aware about it. His life is not accidental. His every act is rooted in consciousness, it is intentional. We live in the mind. The mind can even become a saint, can pretend to be holy, but it will not be. It is impossible; it is not in the very nature of the mind to be...
... it... first, what he had done he could not believe - he was a very good man, a scholar, a well-known Sanskrit scholar, a pundit. He was not expected to behave like that, but it had happened - people are so unconscious. If I had acted the way he was unconsciously expecting, then everything would have been okay. But I asked for the other shoe, and that shocked him very much. He was dazed. I told...
... innocence, that purity, that emptiness, is bound to be lost because it is unconscious. One has to regain it - one has to gain it consciously. That is the only difference between an ordinary person and the enlightened one. The ordinary person came with the same potential, has got the same potential still, but he has not claimed it yet. The enlightened one has lost it and claimed it back. The ordinary...
... unconscious. And if you remain unconscious, then the difference will remain. The difference is only of unconsciousness. Buddha is as ordinary as you are, but he is full of awareness in his ordinariness. Because of awareness his ordinariness becomes luminous. He lives the same ordinary life, remember it. That is another illusion that people are carrying within themselves: that a Buddha has to be...
... understand a thing. She is not my reward, I am her punishment!" I have not committed any sin so I don't think that I belong to that company. I belong to very ordinary people - drunkards, gamblers, not to such stupid people, full of holy cow dung! But that journalist must think he is praising me. That's what goes on in the world: people are so unconscious that they don't know what praise is and what...
..., rationalizing it, saying that "I am not a coward." It is better to realize that you are a coward, because with that realization you can get out of your cowardliness. To recognize that "I am a coward" is the beginning of courage; otherwise you will remain almost unconscious of the fact, if you go on pretending. Even unconscious people don't readily accept that they are unconscious. Even mad...
..., I am against repression, all kinds of repression - I am for understanding. Understand your desires, but don't repress them. And it is through understanding that transcendence happens. It is through understanding that you go beyond desires. It is through understanding, meditating, becoming more aware, that your unconscious, slowly slowly, is transformed into conscious, that your dark continent...
... tremendously psychological and significant. What the patient is doing on the couch of a psychoanalyst... just because you don't call it confession, do you think he's doing something else? He's making deeper confessions than are being done before any priests. He's opening up all his wounds - even bringing up his dreams hidden in the unconscious. But the secret of life is: if you bring your unconscious into...
... rubbish. They are freed from many unconscious wounds; they are cleaner, as if they have just taken a shower." But in the whole world there is not a single man who is completely psychoanalyzed - for the simple reason that you may unburden yourself twice a week, and give a tremendous amount of money, but in the remaining five days what are you going to do? You will again collect the same junk. Your...
.... He simply informed Jung, "Either you drop me, or you drop your ghosts." So knowledgeable, so much a pioneer, a great scientific mind .... But if you really know that there are no ghosts then there will be a different response. You will not fall unconscious, you will not fall from your seat. It is just knowledge, belief. Freud wants to believe that there are no ghosts, but deep down he is...
... and is no more in the body. If you are interested in ghosts, you should be logically interested in death, in the very process of death. But Jung was so afraid, more afraid than Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud at least had some excuse in the explosion to fall unconscious. Jung was so afraid that even the word "death" was enough. Thrice in his life he became unconscious just because the word...
... come to see the merger of the within and the without, when one has come to see the oneness of life and death, when there is no division left, that state is awakening. Before that everybody is a little bit schizophrenic because the divided mind divides you. Then you are divided into the lower and the higher, then you are divided into the conscious and the unconscious, the body and the soul, and so on...
... all dark now. That's why many times you say, "I did it in spite of myself." What do you mean, 'in spite of myself'? How can you do anything in spite of yourself? Is there somebody else within you too who can do something in spite of you? When you say it you simply mean, "I became so unconscious, so mad, that I did something which if I had been a little bit sane I would not have even...
... was so blissful!" - but in the morning, because at the very moment when deep sleep was happening you were not aware at all, you were totally unconscious. So the third state, which is the closest, is a negative kind of samadhi. It is emptiness. Mind is no more functioning and the soul has not yet started functioning. It is called by the Upanishads 'the twilight zone': the evening or the morning...
... thoughts, bumper-to-bumper, the line continues, whether you are awake or asleep. What you call your dreams are nothing but thoughts in the form of pictures...because the unconscious mind does not know alphabetical languages. There is no school, no training institute which teaches the unconscious language. The unconscious is very primitive, it is just like a small child. Have you looked at the books of...
...? It must be coming from existence, and if existence can produce Keshav Chandra that means existence is not unconscious, is not unintelligent. That"s all we mean by God: that existence is not only matter. You are the proof. It is strange that you are asking for the proof and you don't know that you are the proof. I can bring anybody before you as a proof that existence is intelligent. That"...
... from there and no old guy is sitting there on a golden throne who becomes afraid; these ladies are coming from repressed sexuality. The more silent you become, the more vulnerable to your own unconscious - you can become a victim. Your unconscious can create all kinds of hallucinations, and those hallucinations can destroy your peace, your silence, your feeling that you are coming to the peak of your...
