... have been working on every possible mystery for thousands of years.... This was the reason why Mahavira and Buddha both said that unless a fruit falls on its own accord, you don't have any right to take it off the tree. That is violence. When it falls on its own accord, it is a gift. The tree is giving to you out of abundance. Don't cut a tree. You will be surprised... because of this experience of...
... Mahavira, the followers of Mahavira even today don't cultivate. They stopped cultivation completely, because if you cultivate, you have to cut the trees one day, and that will be great violence. People have laughed about it, and even the Jaina monks have no answers which can convince people. What I am saying is according to my own experience. I have lived with trees, and strangely enough, they have a...
..., only then can hope be destroyed. And if you observe what you don't have, hope will never be destroyed. Religion cannot enter into the life of a person whose hope is not yet destroyed. Hope is the door of irreligiousness; the annihilation of hope is the entry of religion. And you should also know that the annihilation of hope is not hopelessness. The defeat of hope is hopelessness: hope is quite alive...
... pranayam. Creation is pranayam and destruction of the world is pratyahar. When the breath goes out, creation takes place; the breath goes in, the destruction of the world takes place. If you can understand it properly then you will see this everywhere in life. Birth is pranayam, death is pratyahar. In birth you expand, in death you shrink, you return, and life is in between the two banks of birth and...
.... For example Mahavira ... It was thought by his disciples, by his followers for twenty-five centuries, that he was teaching non-violence, that he was teaching non-possessiveness, that he was teaching being authentic and truthful. Now these are all by-products. But Jaina monks have been following them, and I have seen their faces: they don't show any signs of joy, of fulfillment, of contentment, of...
... reaching to any great silence or peace or bliss. They look absolutely dry, dead. Although they are following the discipline as accurately as possible, they are just missing the foundation. All these three things -- non-violence, non-possessiveness, authenticity and truthfulness -- arise without any effort on your part ... IF you succeed in meditation. A man of meditation cannot lie. A man of meditation...
..., "I feel feverish." I was reading something, so I said to him, "Go to sleep. Take this blanket and rest." He went to the bed, but after a few minutes he said, "No, I am not feverish. Really, I am angry. Someone has insulted me, and I feel much violence against him." So I said, "Why did you say that you are feeling feverish?" He said, "I couldn't acknowledge...
... the fact that I was angry, but really I am angry. There is no fever." He threw off the blanket. Then I said, "Okay, if you are angry then take this pillow. Beat it and be violent with it. Let your violence be released. And if the pillow is not enough, then I am available. You can beat me, and let this anger be thrown out." He laughed, but the laughter was false - just painted on his...
... transcendence. These techniques are not to satisfy the divine against the animal. That is impossible. That will create more turmoil within you, more violence, more struggle. These techniques are not to satisfy your animal against the divine. These techniques are just to transcend the duality. They are neither for the animal nor for the divine. Remember, that is the basic difference between other religions and...
.... They divide you into two, and one part of your being becomes the enemy. Then your whole energy is dissipated fighting with yourself. Tantra is not religious in that sense, because tantra doesn't believe in any conflict, in any violence. And tantra says don't fight with yourself. Just be aware. Don't be aggressive and violent with yourself. Just be a witness, a watcher. In the moment of witnessing you...
... down there is also a center - soundless, silent, no conflict, no struggle. In the center, life is a noiseless flow, relaxed, a river moving with no struggle, with no fight, no violence Towards that inner center is the search. You can get identified with the surface, with the outer. Then anxiety and anguish follows. This is what has happened to everyone: we are identified with the surface and with the...
... two glimpses there will be deep valleys of conflict, violence, hatred and anger. The other way is to find peace not through love, but directly. If you can find peace directly - and this is the method for it - your life will become filled with love. But now the quality of love will be different. It will not be possessive; it will not be centered around one. It will not be dependent and it will not...
... and kill people. He was the cause of great violence so they have thrown him to the seventh, into the last. But in the days of Mahavira, one of the disciples of Mahavira, Makkhali Gosal, revolted against the master and declared that there are not seven hells but seven hundred. People go on talking nonsense - seven and seven hundred - and they are not aware about their own inner life, from where this...
... into violence. Don't allow it to harm anybody, because if you harm others the harm will come back to you sooner or later. That's the whole theory of karma: whatsoever you do to others will be done to you. So do to others only that which you would like to be done to you. FOLLOW THESE THREE ROADS WITH PURITY AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF UPON THE ONE WAY, THE WAY OF WISDOM. The last advice Buddha gives is...
... allow him to be a little gentlemanly. No need for him to be British, but if he is a little gentlemanly, there is nothing wrong in it. This idea of God is created out of fear - fear of aloneness. When you close your eyes you are alone, but God is there. Even in your inner being he persists, he insists on being there. This is violence! But there is no God - it is your idea. It is like when you are alone...
... cannot because all violence has disappeared from him - but HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH. If truth offends you, then he is helpless. There is no intention to offend you, but if you are living in lies then truth offends. About that the master cannot do anything, he has to say the truth. In fact, he says only the truth; otherwise he is not interested in saying anything to you. The little baby was very quiet. He...
... forth, shaking his staff and clanging his tongs. This invariably frightened people into giving. Looking at his straight back and angry eyes, people were afraid that not giving would surely lead to violence. So people gave alms to the Nath-Sampradaya yogis out of fear. Otherwise their curse was certain. Such was the perverted state of affairs when Nanak came on the scene. The Nath-Sampradaya yogi never...
... entailed sin. They left off farming because plants had to die for the harvest to be collected. They shunned the violence of the battlefield. All that was left was to be a shop-keeper, a tradesman. It is noteworthy that 90 MAKE KNOWLEDGE YOUR PLEASURE AND COMPASSION YOUR STOREHOUSE. Offering of food and feasts for the poor continue in the world, but they are only external expressions. Both the Nath...
