... master key, you will be just like gods; you will be all-knowing, you will be present anywhere you want, you will be all-powerful. You just see in these three words, man's three needs. His knowledge is very limited, very poor. What really do we know? Even small things can make you aware of your ignorance. Our power... what power do we have? Perhaps man is the only animal in the world who has no power...
... separately. It is possible that two persons may love their whole life without ever looking anywhere else. It is possible that one may love one person for the time being and then suddenly find that energy is no longer there. It had come from the unknown. It has gone to the unknown. It was not within your power to love somebody; it is not in your power to prevent love from disappearing. You cannot do...
... would say, "Only one thing: You just leave everything - just come. I want a student like you. My whole professorship is going just rotten. Why don't you come here? I will make all the facilities possible for you. "And I cannot help you in any way in some other university because I don't have any power there. Here, I am the head of the department, dean of the faculty; any day I can become the...
... man who is split can never be a master of himself. And that's what your so-called society wants everybody to be: never to be a master but always to be a slave. The society needs slaves. And by 'the society' I mean the conspiracy of the priests, the politicians, the power-hungry people. Society is a conspiracy of the power-obsessed people, and their basic strategy is to divide man from the very...
... society; it serves the Catholic church, it serves the Hindu, the Mohammedan priesthood. It serves all those who are in power. Man remains shaky, trembling, weak, divided. And man cannot assert himself, cannot stand on his own. He needs somebody to depend upon. He seeks and searches for tyrants - without tyrants he cannot live. He cannot live without governments and he cannot live without the leaders...
... suffer, no. It is not because Adam and Eve committed sin that you are suffering, no. These are tricks to avoid the responsibility - then anything will do: Adam and Eve. Poor Adam and Eve, and they become scapegoats. Or if that parable loses vitality, as every parable, every metaphor does as time passes by, as it becomes a cliche, it loses potential, power, then you create new ideas. Then the theory of...
... given us enough power to discover ourselves. To ask your help is not right - you have already given it; we have only to discover it. You have already arranged it in such a way that if we make a little effort we will know. So no more can we ask. That is not right, that is not fair." Although: NATURE SERVES THEM.... He says, "We are not asking, although nature goes on serving those who are...
... of siddhis, powers, because each power is tempting. And the higher it is, the more tempting it is. And the higher it is, the more ego-satisfying it is. And once the ego starts being satisfied with something, you will never attain the ultimate, you will never become a God. SO THAT, ASCENDING INTO RADIANT ETHER, MIDST THE IMMORTALS, THOU SHALT BE THYSELF A GOD. BEWARE, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BECOME WISE...
... agents; the real places will not have boards. So neither the Soviet Union has the capacity to destroy all the American bases within ten minutes, nor does America have the capacity to destroy all Soviet bases in that time. And how much have the Soviet and American bases accumulated, apart from the submarines which have now for the first time been declared? Both countries have so much nuclear power that...
... it can destroy the earth seven hundred times. Never before has humanity faced death on such a great scale. Nothing can be greater than that; now you cannot increase this destructive power any more. You are already sitting on a volcano which can destroy humanity within minutes. Hence, I say this is the right time and right reason. If man wants life to continue, then Hinduism will not be of any help...
...; Mahavira's son-in-law went against him, he betrayed him. He took five hundred disciples of Mahavira with him. Lions are losing their violence, cows are losing their cowardliness - and Mahavira's own son-in-law has not dropped ambition, jealousy, competition, the whole power number! And he not only left, he had enough influence that five hundred other disciples went with him; he had a clique. Now seeing...
... thought it is a lie? you believe in heaven - have you ever thought it is a lie? You believe in a thousand and one things without ever giving it a thought that they may be lies, only lies given by others to you. Authoritative people have given them to you so you believe them - your parents, your teachers, your priests, authoritative people, those who have power. Such people cannot lie. In fact, such...
... people ALWAYS lie! Their whole POWER depends on lying. Truth is humble, not powerful. Lies become very powerful; very competitive they are. Lies are an politicians struggling, fighting, trying to prove that "I am the truth." Knowledge is nothing but lies you have collected from others. Remember, unless something is of your own experience it is a lie. Truth has to be your own authentic...
... will brag about power, it will brag about prayer. The ego wants to brag: "I am doing something special, something great, something extraordinary. Don't think that I am nobody - I am somebody!" "GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND THE HASTE..." The world is fun of noise and haste. Why is the world so full of noise? - because each mind is noisy, and the world consists of minds; hence...
... stupid power, prestige, politics. A real sannyasin is one who does not care about others' opinions, who has decided to live his life as he wants to live it. I don't mean for you to be irresponsible. When you start living your life responsibly, you not only care about yourself, you care about others also - but in a totally different way. Now you will take every care that you don't interfere in anybody...
.... If education is right, then universities should not be against the universe. They should be just training-places, jumping-boards into the universe. If education is right, then it will not be concerned about money, and it will not be concerned about power and prestige. Then it will not be political at all. If education is right it will be concerned about your bliss, your happiness, music, love...
..., and asked, "Are you trying to tell us that we are bastards?" The father smiled and answered, "Yes, and cheap ones too!" In the ordinary world all of our relationships are money relationships. All relationships are money relationships: some power trip, some money trip, domination, ego. But if all your relationships are just money trips, trips of greed, then you don't know how to...
..., you are very knowledgeable, you are rich, superrich - all these dimensions are of the self. And the self goes on accumulating more money, more power, more prestige, more respectability - its ambition is unfulfillable. You go on and on creating more and more layers of self. This is the misery of man, the basic misery. Man does not know who he is, yet he goes on believing that he is this, he is that...
... coming near, and if the pope is not listened to, then Catholic votes will not be given to him. What kind of power is this, that depends on others? If they give you their vote you are a beggar, and constantly afraid. Now in Italy it has almost become a great problem because one hundred and fifty celebrities, Nobel prize-winning people, scientists, painters, poets, world-famous actors, actresses have all...
... worried; all his people will be there, and I will enter alone. I know truth has a power of its own. And this Polack pope certainly knows that he has no answers for me. And it is better to avoid confrontation because my simple proposal is: If I am defeated I will become a Catholic; but if you are defeated I become the pope! A simple proposition. Then the Vatican becomes my kingdom. And even if I get the...
.... The politician and the priest HAVE to teach suppression,. because it is only through suppression that people are driven insane. And you can rule insane people more easily than sane people. And when people are insane in their sex energy, they start moving in other directions - money they will start moving towards, or power, or prestige. They have to show their sex energy somewhere or other; it is...
... boiling there - they have to release it in some way or other. So money-madness or power-addiction, they become their releases. This whole society is sex-obsessed. If sex-obsession disappears from the world, people will not be money-mad. Who will bother about money? And people will not be bothered by power. Nobody will like to become a president or a prime minister - for what?! Life is so tremendously...
... MY EGO. You have not understood what surrender is. The first thing to remember about surrender is: you cannot do it, it is not a doing. You can prevent it from happening, but you cannot manage for it to happen. Your power about surrender is only negative: you can prevent it, but you cannot bring it. Surrender is not something that you can do. If you do it, it is not surrender, because the doer is...
... more. The ego is constantly hungry. It lives in the future and in the past. In the past it lives as a hoarder - "I have this and this and this." It gets a great satisfaction: "I have got something" - power, prestige, money. It gives a kind of reality to it. It gives the notion that, "When I have these things, I must be there." And it lives in the future with the idea of...
... us how to become enlightened." That becoming, that achieving, that desiring, goes on jumping on every object that you can find. Sometimes it is money, sometimes it is God. Sometimes it is power, sometimes it is meditation - but any object, and you start grabbing it. Non-grabbing is the way to live the real life, the true life, non-grasping, non-possessing. Let things happen, let life be a...
