... determines nothing. It was coincidence that you were born in a home where people were Hindus - it is as much a coincidence as if they belonged to a particular political party. If your parents were communists, you need not be a communist. If your parents were Catholics, you need not be a Catholic either. You have to search for your own path; each one has to search for his own path. I will make all the paths...
... make a slave of you? How can emptiness be reduced to slavery? When you are not, how can you be imprisoned? When you are not, freedom is total. Freedom from the self is real freedom. These sutras are of immense value. Remember, when Buddha talks about freedom he does not mean the ordinary freedom talked about by the politicians, by the priests, and others. The social and the political freedom is: you...

So the father, who was very learned in political and economic affairs, started talking about the economic causes of u wars. But the mother thought that the little boy was too small to understand such complicated things and she said,'Let me explain it.' The...
... done with mind. In fact, if it is not the cause of unhappiness, then the cause must lie somewhere outside you. That's what Communists say -- Marx and Mao. That's what they say -- that the cause of happiness is somewhere outside you not inside you: in the structure of the society, the economic system of society, in the political world -- somewhere outside you. If your misery comes from outside there...
... nothing, but they created a great movement. They were more or less political people, scholars, logic-choppers, but not in any way realized souls. Gurdjieff shattered many beliefs.

And only very rare people have been able to...
