... play with it but don't become attached to it, otherwise you will suffer. And that's why people are suffering: they become attached to soap bubbles. They have given different names to the soap bubbles. Somebody calls it love, somebody calls it money, somebody calls it power, somebody calls it life, prestige, and so on, so forth - but they are all soap bubbles. Any moment, they will be gone, and you...
... unintelligence. Otherwise who should be interested in just becoming a ladder climber? Life has much more to give. Just sitting under a tree and playing on your flute is far more satisfying than being a president of a country. Just being in love with a woman or a man is far more satisfying than having all the riches of the world and all the power that it can give. When Alexander the Great came to India and...
... past makes available. He has to assimilate the past; this is what Nietzsche calls the camel stage. The camel has the power of storing up in his body enormous amounts of food and water for his arduous journey across the desert. And the same is the situation of the human individual - you have to pass across a desert, you have to assimilate the whole past. And remember, just memorizing is not going to...
.... The cocoon is dropped: you become a caterpillar, you start moving. The state of the lion has these characteristics: independence, no-saying, disobedience, rebellion against the other, against authority, against dogma, against scripture, against the church, against the political power, against the state. The lion is against everything! He wants to shatter everything and create the whole world anew...
... and only Buddhas and Bahauddins and Sanais and Sosans are there, there will be only one religion. There will be a kind of religiousness in the world, not any religion in fact - a kind of religiousness. You will have to drop your fairy-tales - Christian, Hindu, Mohammedan. RISE, HAVE DONE WITH FAIRY-TALES; LEAVE YOUR BASE PASSIONS, AND COME TO ME. There are base passions: money, power, sexuality...
... forget it even for a single moment. YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT IT IS HIS GUIDANCE... Always remember that if you start moving towards God it is he who has chosen you. Don't for a moment think, "Look! I am a great seeker of God. I am no ordinary man, I am not worldly, I am not like these worldly creatures. I am a spiritual man. I search for God, I don't seek and search for money or power." You...
... brings more and more discontent, because the mind exists only in the desire for more. The mind is nothing but another name for the desire of getting more and more and more. It is a constant hankering for more. If you have money, it desires MORE money; if you have power, it desires more power; if you have knowledge, it desires more knowledge. It is the same process, objects differ but the process...
... live without any fear, because we are part of this existence. There is nobody to be afraid of. The existence is not antagonistic to us, it protects us. But the mind is the by-product of fear, and because of the fear it goes on creating its own security. Have more money, have a bigger house, have respect, prestige, political power. Win friends, influence people, so you are secure. You have so many...
... in him: no corner of darkness is left, all is light. God loves in a conscious way. The mother's love is unconscious, and naturally when love is unconscious it is contaminated by all kinds of unconscious things. There is greed, there is anger, there is hatred, there is jealousy, there is domination, power-politics - everything is there. In fact, so many unconscious ugly things are there that the...
... soviet Russia he will adjust you to the communist society, the communist way of life. He serves the state. He serves the status quo. Wherever he is, he is in the service of whomsoever happens to be in power. A Master serves no power. A Master serves no society. A Master is basically rebellious. Rebellion is his very flavour. He serves no imprisonments, he serves no conditionings. He makes you simply...
... ages of seven and fourteen we succeed and the child is killed, the child is destroyed. Then the child is wild no more - he becomes a citizen. Then he learns the ways of discipline, language, logic, prose. He starts competing in the school, becomes an egoist, starts learning all the neurotic things that are prevalent in the society, becomes more interested in power, money, starts thinking how to...
... criminal is not the drug-taker, the criminal is the politician and the educationalist. It is they who are guilty. They have forced the human mind into one extreme - into such an extreme that now there is a need to revolt. And the need is so great! Poetry has completely disappeared from people's life, beauty has disappeared, love has disappeared... money, power, pull, they have become the only gods. How...
... getting hold of it, of being it? One wants something new. And that which you have you lose all interest in. That's why you are missing God, because God you already have and you cannot be interested in him. You are interested in the world, in money, in power and prestige - those things you don't have. God is already given. God means nature. Who bothers about nature? Why think about it when in the first...
... that Buddha brings to the world - and that understanding has become a ripe fruit in Zen. That is the fundamental contribution of Buddha. A man remains artificial in the so-called world - earning money, power, prestige. And then one day he becomes religious, but again he is moving into another kind of unnaturalness. Now he practises yoga, stands on his head - all stuff and nonsense. What are you doing...
... idea is gone with her. Now again you are in darkness. Again you don't know, again you start searching for.... Why do you seek money and wealth? Just to have some identity. So that you know who you are, so that people can say who you are. Why do you go on searching for power, prestige? The same reason. Man is in a constant search for the self. Man is in a constant identity crisis. And because in the...
... magic, some miracle is constantly happening around them. From where does it come? They don't have any visible power of the world. They don't have anything that you think one needs to be happy. It is reported: when Buddha came for the first time to Varanasi, he was staying outside Varanasi underneath a tree, a great banyan tree. It was evening and the sunrays were filtering the sunset, and the clouds...
..., only Brahmins were allowed to read the Vedas, because if people are allowed to read the Vedas, then how long can you pretend that there is something in it? There is nothing! People will see it. And once they have seen it, how are you going to deceive them? How are you going to exploit them? The power of the priests and the politicians depends on the ignorance of men. Buddhism brings a totally...
... think, "Your whole life you worked for this position, for this power, and now you have arrived and you say yon have attained nothing - so your whole life has been a wastage?" Nobody wants to see it, that "My whole life has been a wastage" - it goes against the ego. So those who arrive on those big piles of dirt, who reach atop, they start declaring that they have attained. In life...
