... almost profane, obscene. You can just be silent. You can bow down, your eyes may have tears, your face may become aflame - but there will be utter silence. One thing. The second thing: there is a tragedy of gratitude that has to be understood. A man once came to me; he is a political leader. He was suffering from insomnia, and he said, "I am not interested in God, I have not come to you for that...
... that it can only be expressed by a "perhaps", a "maybe". It is so vast. It will be stupid to say yes or no - it will be reducing it to a very ordinary statement; it will become political. It will not have that height and plenitude of a philosophic experience. "Yes, God is, and God is not. And God is both, and God is not both." In this way Mahavir used to talk. If you...
... politics - my people are the most non-political in the world; we think politics is just stupidity. But that's why. Suspicion arises, doubt arises: if I am right, then they are all wrong. And if this idea spreads... and it can spread like fire. Truth has a potential - even if you crucify it, it spreads. Jesus was not destroyed by crucifixion. In fact it helped: Jesus became a great force in the world...
... continues. First they were too greedy about this world, now they are too greedy about the other world, but the greed is there. Silverstein, the inveterate joiner, came rushing home proudly holding a membership card to his newest organisation.... There are people who go on joining everything. I have known one person who was a member of five political parties, all against each other. When he told me I said...

Mind continuously asks for more and more, and the demand is never-ending. If you are after money, more money. If you are after political power, more power. If you are after prestige, more prestige. If you are interested in becoming humble, then...
..., trying to make great effort to attain something which once attained they will not know what to do with. That's how people are running after money, after political power. Once you have it you don't know what to do with it. A woman was saying to another woman, "Are you not worried about your husband? He continuously goes on chasing women, any woman - and you know it!" And the other woman...
... unburdened, you are back in the society - the same society, the same people. You listen to the same priest, you read the same newspaper, you go to the same political rally. You remain a communist or you remain a Catholic. The same wife, the same husband, the same children, the same people to associate with.... Again repression happens. This is a very temporary relief. Many other ways are being found...
... you don't need anybody's guidance. Once you are silent, you will be able to see the way and you will be able to reach the goal." And our minds are really troubled. A thousand and one troubles are there. First, everybody is in a state of schizophrenia, more or less; the differences are only of degrees. Everybody is split because the exploiters, both religious and political, have depended on this...
... has to be deprived of sex, so that the sex energy becomes his anger, his irritation, his destructiveness so he can be more violent than he ever was. Sex can be diverted into ambition. Repress sex: once sex is repressed, you have energy available, you can channel it into any direction. It can become a search for political power, it can become a search for more money, it can become a search for fame...
... Protestants and Catholics there are smaller and smaller subsects. And prisons become smaller and smaller.
