... changing your religion, you can go on changing your philosophy - these are really ways to avoid the real change. The real change has to happen deep down in you. You are unconscious, and the only change that is going to help is to become conscious. You are living mechanically: the only thing that can help is to live life non-mechanically. De-automatize yourself, de-hypnotize yourself. The society has...

...-oriented. Mohammed is life-oriented, but Mohammedanism is death-oriented. How does it happen? Just the other day, I was saying that truth transferred from one to another becomes a lie; it goes upside down. When Buddha says something, he means something totally different than that which is understood by the blind and unconscious people. Everything goes topsy-turvy. His life-affirmation becomes death...

... unconscious. Now even at the age of eighty-two it will remain. You will remain sex-obsessed; it can't leave you now. India is a so-called religious country. In fact countries can only be so-called religious. Only individuals can be really religious, countries can only be so-called religious. How can countries be religious? Religion is something that happens in the individual soul. Politics is that which...
... tremendous attention, and the patient also tries to listen to his own inner being, to his own unconscious talking to him, when this listening happens, by and by, in that deep listening there are not two persons. Maybe there are two polarities.... When you listen to me, healing is happening all the time. When you listen to me so attentively that you are not there - no mind, no thinking - you have become...

.... Through your listening you will make him aware of his own unconscious, and that is a healing thing. Once the unconscious becomes the conscious, many things disappear. All that is rubbish disappears and all that is significant deepens. But how can you teach listening? - by being a great listener. While you are listening to a patient or a friend, don't become bored. If you are bored, please tell him that...
... Freudians, it is your unconscious; to Marxists, it is the social structure. But there is somebody who goes on creating misery for you. Nobody is creating misery for you. You are clinging to it. But this is very hard to accept because then your whole image becomes neurotic -- and you carry a very golden image of yourself. I have heard a very beautiful anecdote. It is a rare beauty. Senior citizens Israel...

... your unconscious, brings it to the surface. You will have to know all hidden parts of your being and the easiest way is to be mirrored, reflected, in a relationship. Easier, I call it, because there is no other way -- but it is hard. It is hard, arduous, because you will have to change through it. And when you come to a Master an even greater challenge exists before you: you have to decide, and the...

... IT SEEMS THAT WHEREVER I GO I AM FACING THE WALL. Not facing it exactly, you are carrying the wall in front of your eyes. When your eyes have a clarity then you see it; when your eyes are dull and you are unconscious you can't see it. This ego has to be dropped. One has to gather courage and shatter it on the floor. People go on feeding it in millions of ways, not knowing that they feed their own...
... happened in China. It is going to happen if we continue to function in the same old way. Unawareness cannot bring more than that. When you are powerless, it is easy to fight against injustice; the moment you become powerful, you forget all about injustice. Then repressed desires to dominate assert themselves. Then your unconscious takes over, and you start doing the same things that were done before by...

... condition: and that condition is awareness, meditation. Go first deep into meditation, so you can cleanse your unconscious of all poisonous seeds, so there is nothing to be corrupted and there is nothing inside you which power can bring forth. And then do whatsoever you feel like doing. If you want to become a painter, become a painter. Your painting will have a difference; it won't be like Picasso...

... kinds of unintelligent activities. First sharpen your intelligence. Let a great joy arise in you. Become more watchful, so much so that not even a corner in your being is dark anymore. Let your unconscious be transformed into consciousness. Then do whatsoever you want to do. Then if you want to go to hell, go with my blessings, because you will be able to transform hell itself. It is not that...
... innocence of a Buddha. The difference is tremendous. It is unconscious innocence, and because it is unconscious it has no virtue. That's why Jesus says, "Unless you are like small children" - note the word: unless you are LIKE the small children - "you shall not enter into the kingdom of God." He is not saying unless you are children; he cannot say that, otherwise every child will...

... violent or murderous, no, not at all. He is simply unconscious. Innocence plus consciousness is equal to Buddhahood. Innocence minus consciousness is equal to childhoodness. And how one can be conscious? The only way - and let me emphasize - the ONLY way is to lose it and gain it again. You ask me, Hajo: IF AN ENLIGHTENED PERSON CANNOT LOSE HIS BUDDHAHOOD, HOW DOES A BABY BORN AS A BUDDHA LOSE HIS? The...
... his painting, his ego disappears. Maybe only for moments, but in those egoless moments God paints through him. If you participate in God, God participates in you. Art is an unconscious form of religion. Religion is conscious art. Art is as if you are religious in a dream, but it is pointing in the right direction. The artist is the nearest to the religious. But it is not understood that way. You...

... why deep sleep is so rejuvenating, so refreshing. In the morning you feel alive again, new, reborn. But that is unconscious. Patanjali has said deep sleep and SAMADHI are very similar, with only one difference: in sleep you are unconscious, in SAMADHI you are conscious. But you go to the same space, the same unfathomable, magical space within you, where there is no thought, no desire, no vibration...
... being possessed by ghosts and spirits is nothing but a very ancient symbolical way of saying what I am saying to you. A man possessed by a ghost has nothing to do with any ghost; it is his own unconscious, his own jealousy, his own anger, hatred, his own unconscious mind. And his conscious mind is so small that the unconscious takes it over. It appears almost as if somebody from outside has taken...
... don't think that you can remember that you have done anything to be a conscious human being, but you are a conscious human being. Of course your consciousness is very small, a very momentary phenomenon; you can become unconscious in a second. Somebody hits your face, slaps you, and your consciousness disappears; you become unconscious. Then whatever you do, you are doing it in unconsciousness. Later...

... did it they were absolutely unconscious. Now, something a man does in unconsciousness he cannot be held responsible for when he is conscious. If a man, completely drunk, kills somebody, then the court accepts it, that you cannot make him responsible: he was drunk, he was not in his senses. But what is anger? It is far more intoxicating than any alcohol can be. What is jealousy? What is hatred? They...
... report read, "A man was bitten by a mad dog. He has been under treatment for the last ten days and will be well quite soon." Then there was also a fourth report. "A man was bitten by a man," it said. "It was many weeks ago. He is unconscious and there is a slim chance of his recovery." I was surprised. Can a man's bite be so very poisonous? If we are observant, we will see...

... will repeatedly rise and fall again. Life is a continuous push towards egolessness, towards timelessness - whether conscious or unconscious. The intense desire of the being is to know its real self, to know the truth, to know the original, eternal, timeless source - to unite with that which is beyond time, to attain pure egolessness. It is to satisfy this unconscious inner desire of the soul that the...
... angry is just a natural human being, there is no fear about it. A husband who never becomes angry will one day suddenly jump and suffocate you. And he will do it as if he is possessed by something. Murderers have been telling the courts down through the ages, "We committed the crime, but we were possessed." Who possessed them? Their own unconscious, repressed unconscious, exploded. Have you...

... know that he controls. He has really become a controller. Now the control has become unconscious. He is a very controlled person. Everybody respects him - in the society he will succeed everywhere. He IS a success. But in his inner life he is a failure. He cannot even love. I told him, "You start by being angry, because my understanding is that when you come to a peak in your orgasm, you cannot...
