... only eighteen per cent are mentally normal, then what is the condition of the remaining eighty-two percent? They are in a state of virtual disintegration. And you yourself will be surprised to learn the amount of madness hidden inside you if you were just to sit quietly in a corner and reflect upon yourselves for a moment. How you control and suppress your madness is quite another matter however. A...
... anyone; on the contrary, you would like to dominate everybody. Once it becomes strong through struggle, once you are certain that now nobody can destroy your ego, you start compromising. There is no need to fight, you can manage things now through compromise - a far easier way. Compromise - the very word is not in my vocabulary. Compromise is ugly. Rebellion is either/or, it never compromises. How can...
... truth compromise with lies? Either the truth has to prevail, or death. And when you have a small taste of truth, who cares about death? because that very small taste of truth makes you immortal. Deep down you know death is a fallacy: nobody dies, so what is the fear? At the most you can get a new body instead of the old. So far, so good. Getting rid of the old model and finding the fresh, new, latest...
... not be very correct to be absolutely against the priests of the great temple of the Jews who decided for the crucifixion of Jesus, because this man was destroying their hope, their dreamland. They had nothing. In the time of Jesus they were under the rule of Rome, they were again slaves; they had escaped from Egypt for nothing. All that suffering, all those forty years of immense suffering and pain...
... any doubt arise." Now, this is the whole strategy of belief. You cannot avoid doubt; wherever belief exists, doubt is simply suppressed. If there is no doubt you don't need any belief. It is because of the doubt that you need belief, to suppress it, to cover it. And the condition is that there should be no doubt; you should believe in me without any doubt and I will redeem you. Neither can you...
...? Is there a chemistry in alcohol that changes God's name into abuses? Alcohol has only brought to the surface what was already within. It broke the bastions of his personality. Till then his defence was perfect - abuses flowed within while there was nothing but God's name on his lips; but now the limbs became limp and the mind was so dazed that he had no strength to control himself, and the truth...
... be solved but if it does not, how can it be solved? This man demonstrated his wisdom. He first set out to know whether the problem existed. That is the first sign of an intelligent man. Then they questioned the man how he came to the conclusion that the door was not locked. He said: "I did not do anything for I knew I could do nothing in the matter with the knowledge at my command. Whatever I...
... article, no matter how precious, would belong to that person. No sooner was the royal command given than a rush was made to possess the costliest thing within reach. A beautiful slave girl, remaining composed and serene by the side of the throne asked the Sultan to reaffirm his command. On receiving affirmation, the slave girl immediately touched the Caliph himself on the arm saying, "Why should I...
... thousand people had gathered to see this torture. What did you do with Jesus when he was here? I think that was enough to keep him away from this earth forever! A new arrival knocked on heaven's door. Jesus was on duty and opened the door. "Who are you?" he asked. "Adolf Hitler," came the reply. "Adolf Hitler! You cannot come here. You are a megalomaniac bent on world domination...
... ask my dad." Jesus found God in his study. "Dad, there's a newcomer at the gate who wants to come in." "Who is he?" "Adolf Hitler." "Adolf Hitler! That megalomaniac bent on world domination? He can't come in here!" "But he has something very special to give me." "What is it?" "His Iron Cross." God thumped his chair. "...
... hindrances forever. Let life exist according to its own harmony; simply be a part in it, just a wave in the ocean. Don't try to dominate the ocean; that very effort is an ego trip. Meditate over Murphy's maxim: If you don't care where you are you ain't lost. And also: Nothing is ever so bad that it can't get worse. Rejoice! And why be afraid of the "nowhere"? Everywhere is nowhere. Wherever you...
... a crazy place - it is absolutely un-German! And the problem is that I have got so many German sannyasins! And I can understand why the German government is so worried, because I am destroying their young people - I am destroying their conditioning as Germans. Once they have been sannyasins, once they have understood the art of being a sannyasin, no Adolf Hitler can ever dominate them; that is...
... that you have something superior to others because you are moral. If you break this armour a chaos will follow. First you have to go mad and then fear comes, and if you are afraid you will again suppress, you will again put on the armour - you will even make it stronger. And now you have become afraid to come out of it. It protects you. I have heard that in a small school, a primary school, the...
.... Then, when it is the 'right' time, he will ask for food - and he is not hungry! When he is hungry he will control because he is not allowed to ask. This is the way he will lose contact with nature - and to be out of contact with nature is to be neurotic. A child is feeling alive, active; he wants to run and dance. The mother tries to force him to go to sleep. Have you ever thought that this is asking...
... friend. He has come just few days before, very new. He believes in fasting, and when I was talking to him, that "Fasting can be dangerous. And you should not go on your own; you should ask an expert. And if you listen to me, I'm not for fasting at all, because fasting is a sort of suppression. The body is real. The body's hunger is real; the body's need is real. Don't eat too much, because that...
... too is against the body and a sort of suppression. And don't go on a fast, because that too is unreal and that too is suppressing. That too is not in accord with nature. That's why I call it unreal." Somebody is obsessed with eating food - he is mad, and somebody is obsessed with not eating food - he is also mad. Both are destroying their body - enemies - and the fasting has been used as a...
... SPECIAL EFFORT: RELIEVE YOUR BOWELS, PASS WATER, WEAR YOUR CLOTHES, EAT YOUR FOOD, AND, WHEN TIRED, LIE DOWN. THE SIMPLE FELLOW WILL LAUGH AT YOU, BUT THE WISE WILL UNDERSTAND. AN ANCIENT SAID: ALL THOSE WHO STRIVE OUTWARDLY ARE STUPID. SUFFICE IT TO BE ONE'S OWN MASTER WHEREVER ONE MAY HAPPEN TO BE, AND REALITY WILL PREVAIL EVERYWHERE. THUS ONE WILL REMAIN UNSHAKEN UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. RINZAI SAID...
..., AND REALITY WILL PREVAIL EVERYWHERE. THUS ONE WILL REMAIN UNSHAKEN UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. RINZAI SAID ON ANOTHER OCCASION: IN YOUR RED HEART, THERE IS A TRUE MAN OF NO FIXED POSITION, WHO COMES IN AND GOES OUT THROUGH YOUR FOREHEAD. I URGE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS, TO TRY TO SEE IT. A footnote: "In China, the heart is believed to be the seat of thought, or intelligence, and its...
