... persona, with the mask, with the idea implanted in you about yourself. This is the religious revolution: not to be identified with the personality, and continuously reminding yourself, "Who am I?" ... THE OTHER COURTIERS WERE JEALOUS OF AYAZ... Naturally. That's how this world is. This whole world is political, and everybody is jealous of everybody else. And the more you succeed, the more...
... less powerful, war cannot be avoided. It is a natural outcome of the political game. Unless politics loses importance... It can lose importance. The only way out of the political trap is make people more and more free - economically, politically, spiritually. Decentralize power. But the whole trend is just going in the opposite direction. States are becoming more and more powerful, and they are...
... looking inside, waiting, watching, going inwards to the core of your being - and it is there. Sufism is an inner journey. By revolution I don't mean a political revolution. Political revolutions are not revolutions at all; they only substitute one slavery for another slavery. The only revolution there is, is religious. The only revolution there is, is turning away from tradition and turning inwards to...
... be a Hindu, is just ugly; it is just political, and nothing else. It has nothing to do with religion. Listen to this great Sufi, Sanai: AT HIS DOOR, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOSLEM AND CHRISTIAN, VIRTUOUS AND GUILTY? He says: There is not even a difference between the sinner and the saint. At his door, differences disappear. Nobody is a sinner and nobody is a saint, and nobody is virtuous and...
..., Judaism, Hinduism, they create guilt. Let that be your definition of religion: if it creates guilt it is not a religion. It is something else pretending, something else garbed as religion, posing as religion - but it is not religion. Religion creates celebration, not guilt. These are hidden things which don't want to expose themselves. These so-called religions are more political than religious. Their...
... power so much? Why this madness, this political madness? The reason is that they don't have any power over themselves. They need a substitute. They can feel happy if they have power over others. A man who has power over himself need not bother. Why should he bother to have power over others? It is enough, it is more than enough that he has power over himself. That's why in India we call a sannyasin...
... suicidal, it is political. A man who has a conscience is never a free man, he is a slave. He is not inside a prison but the prison is inside him; the prison is there inside him. The jailor is sitting there just in his own heart, pulling his strings. Drop this policeman. Say goodbye to it forever. Become more alert, become more loving, become more natural, become more ordinary, drop ideals. Don't try to...
... be difficult for me to find a room for you though there is a room vacant, which I cannot give.' The salesman said 'But what is the reason? Why can't you give it if the room is empty?' The hotel manager said 'A great politician is staying just beneath that room. A room is vacant on the first floor, but on the ground floor beneath the room a great political leader is staying. And he gets mad at small...
.... By the morning I will be gone, gone to another town, but give me the room.' So the room was given. In the middle of the night, the salesman came back, tired, sat on his bed, took off one of his shoes and dropped it on the floor. Then he suddenly remembered that the great political leader might get disturbed, so he took off the second shoe very silently and without making any sound he put it on the...
... is right. Sometimes the society is right, because the society cannot be absolutely wrong... even a mad person sometimes is right. It happened: A great political leader was addressing the inmates of a mad asylum, and he had spoken for only five, seven minutes when a madman stood up and said 'Stop this fool! He is mad! He does not know what he is talking about.' Of course the politician was very...
... then impose the idea of responsibility? "l am responsible towards existence. I am not responsible to any nation, to any political division. And I I am going to fight for it - if you don't give me the certificate I will go up to the supreme court to fight for it. You cannot impose on me any army training, because I don't want to kill anybody. I would prefer to be killed - there is no problem in...
... disappearing - just political games, chess. Israel was not there for hundreds of years, now it is there. And now it is the motherland of the Jews, and their responsibility is to die for it - and they are dying for it. And they will have to continue to die for it because it is never going to be a safe, secure, peaceful land; that is impossible, because it is surrounded, all around, by the Mohammedans. And in...
... way to solve it. The Jews will have continually to fight, and they will have to be continually beggars, asking for help from all over the world, particularly help from America. So America has played a good political game: fix the Jews there so their whole problem is there, their trouble is there. If Jews were intelligent enough, they would have refused it, and said, "We don't want a country...
... it would hurt people's religious feelings. Political feelings I can understand, but there are no political feelings, there are only political ideas. Yes, if I speak against Jesus, somebody's religious feelings may be hurt. But this letter is from the president of the American Nazi party, and it is a threat: "You should stop speaking against Adolf Hitler because it has not anything to do with...
... ALL? Because there is no love in the human heart. But again, the mind interferes: HAVE NOT THE RICH TAKEN AWAY FROM THE POOR? SHOULD NOT THE POOR TAKE BACK WHAT THE RICH HAVE STOLEN FROM HIM? Now you are forgetting the beggar and the heartache that you felt. Now the whole thing is becoming political, economical. Now the problem is no more of the heart: it is of the mind. And mind has created the...
... trying to get the gold medal, to come first. The ambition is there: they are already politicians. Wherever there is competition and struggle there is politics. So the whole ordinary life is politics-oriented. Meditation is like light when meditation comes politics disappears. So you cannot be meditative and political. That is impossible: you are asking for the impossible. Meditation is not one pole: it...
... politics all the effects of it also disappear. The tense state, the worry, the anxiety, the anguish, the violence, the greed -- they all disappear. They are by- products of a political mind. You will have to decide either you can be a politician or you can be a meditator. You cannot be both, because when meditation comes, the darkness disappears. This world, your world, is an absence of meditation. And...
... their prejudices. But I don't believe in coexistence; I believe in existence. Either we, or they.... Coexistence is a political word, and coexistence is simply a cold war. Just to avoid, postpone real war, politicians go on talking about coexistence. If I love you, we don't coexist, we exist together. Only enemies coexist. I don't have any enemies. If they are hostile, that is their problem. We are...
... not hostile towards anybody. Q: I SEE YOU USE THE WORD COEXISTENCE. IT HAS BECOME POLITICAL, INDEED, BUT YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU COEXIST IN THE SENSE THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THESE PEOPLE, SO YOU TOLERATE IT; AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU WOULD RATHER ENJOY LIVING WITH THESE PEOPLE. DO I INTERPRET YOU CORRECTLY? A: Tolerance is an ugly word. To tolerate means you have already humiliated the other...
... the case because that man was a Hindu chauvinist and the Maharashtra government is a Hindu chauvinist government. Q: BUT ISN'T THERE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEONE ATTEMPTING TO MURDER A POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS LEADER -- AND AFTER ALL, MAHATMA GANDHI WAS ASSASSINATED, WAS HE NOT? -- ISN'T THERE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND THE PLANNED BOMBING OF AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY SUCH AS YOU HAVE...
... still it is not much of a freedom because freedom cannot be only political; basically it has to be spiritual. And this country is not spiritually free. But people went on coming from all over the world, risking, knowing that they may not come back ever, they may be lost. But it is worth it - because in the very risk something is born inside you: the center. It is born only in the risk. That's the...
... that man has come from the monkeys, then politics would have been enough to show that man must have come from monkeys. You have a political mind. Ambitious mind means a political mind - grabbing, grasping, clinging for more and more, always trying to reach at the top. And there is nothing beyond the top; you simply look silly sitting there. But finding nowhere to go you have to stop. Only Polacks...
... united kingdom of Israel and Judah, long before. For this very thing, stopping short of utter destruction (by sparing King Agag and some beasts), Saul had been repudiated, dethroned and destroyed (according to the Levitical version of history). John Hyrcanus had to deal with two political parties. Of these, the more moderate Sadducees, who supported the monarchy, presumably tendered the counsel to...
