... always divided, so much so that many times people come to me and I ask them: Are you happy? - they shrug their shoulders. I ask them: Are you unhappy? - again they shrug their shoulders. They are not definite about what state of mind they are in, because there are many states of mind together within them. They would like to say both yes and no to every question. I have heard about a political leader...
... fail, then let us look somewhere else. Revolutions...' A political revolution, an economic revolution, a scientific revolution... now, they have all failed. It seems that man is doomed to fail. This is the situation if you look into all the questions and the answers that man has asked down the ages. The question of meaning is the most ancient question, and meaning has not been found. Many answers...
... happened once that a great political leader came to attend one of my camps in Mahabaleshwar. He was known in India as the father of the Indian parliament because he remained an MP for fifty years. The first day he watched. By the evening he came to me and he said 'Everything is okay, but a few things offend me - I have seen four of your sannyasins playing cards. How can a sannyasin play cards? What kind...
... basically it is not a spiritual endeavor, it is political, the politics of numbers. I am not a politician, and I am not interested in converting anybody. I don't have any religion to which I can convert you. I cannot give you anything that you have not already got. So my approach is totally different. I take away from you that which you don't have, but which you believe that you have - your ego, your...
... political party, we join a religious church - we become Hindus, Christians, Mohammedans. These are all ways to find security. These are all ways to find some place to belong to - a country, a church. Because of this fear politicians and priests go on exploiting you. If you are not in any fear, no politician, no priest can exploit you. It is only out of fear that he can exploit because he can provide - at...
... want to be a part of this rotten game, I don't want to be a part of this political game. I see things, and I would like to live my own life. I don't want to become anybody's slave. I don't want to be killed on any war front. I don't want to fight - there are far more beautiful things to do." But for millions there is nothing; the society has taken away all possibilities for their growth. They...
... to live, what you want to do, what you want to say. The choice of expression, the freedom - that you can say whatsoever you like, that you can do whatsoever you like, that you can choose any religious or political style; you can be a communist, you can be a fascist, you can be a liberal, you can be a democrat, and all that nonsense. You can choose. It is only a pseudo-freedom. Why do I call it...
.... These strategies are simply cunning, political, playing on man's fear and greed. Exploiting man, taking advantage of his innocence, ignorance. I am against the whole company of messiahs, prophets, founders of religions. A single man has declared war against all the religions of the world. I am fighting with every argument that they have proposed for thirty-five years continuously, and they have not...
... substitute will be a perversion. Religious leaders, political leaders, are the criminals but they will not be punished. Homosexuals, who are simply victims, will be punished. I call from California my people because California is the worst place right now. Q:* IT IS A STRANGE PARADOX. WE IN CALIFORNIA HAD THOUGHT IT WAS AN ENLIGHTENED POLICY TO INCORPORATE CITIES THAT HAD A LARGE VOTING POPULATION OF GAY...
... treasure. That which cannot be taken away from you is real treasure. Even death cannot take it away from you. That is the criterion. Whatsoever you have, always put it to the criterion: whether death will take it away from you or not. That should become a constant contemplation.
