... VANISH AND LIFE IN TRUE FAITH IS POSSIBLE. WITH A SINGLE STROKE WE ARE FREED FROM BONDAGE; NOTHING CLINGS TO US AND WE HOLD NOTHING. ALL IS EMPTY, CLEAR, SELF-ILLUMINATING, WITH NO EXERTION OF THE MIND'S POWER. HERE THOUGHT, FEELING, KNOWLEDGE, AND IMAGINATION ARE OF NO VALUE. CONSIDER MOVEMENT STATIONARY AND THE STATIONARY IN MOTION, AND BOTH THE STATE OF MOVEMENT AND THE STATE OF REST DISAPPEAR. THIS...
...-ILLUMINATING, WITH NO EXERTION OF THE MIND'S POWER. HERE THOUGHT, FEELING, KNOWLEDGE AND IMAGINATION ARE OF NO VALUE. THEN ONE LIVES, only lives. One breathes, only breathes. No imagination, no thought, no mind - they are all of no value. You trust existence, and when YOU trust existence, existence trusts you. This meeting of trust is the ultimate bliss, the ecstasy, SAMADHI. So what to do about it? It is...
.... ALL IS EMPTY, CLEAR, SELF-ILLUMINATING, WITH NO EXERTION OF THE MIND'S POWER. HERE, THOUGHT, FEELING, KNOWLEDGE AND IMAGINATION ARE OF NO VALUE. Don't think over it, try to see it in life. It will be painful, because when you are feeling love you don't want to think about hate at all. You are really afraid that if you think of the hate, then this whole ecstasy of love will disappear. When you are...
... nobody is going to respect you as a mahatma. If you want this identity then you will have to fast. You will have to adjust to the demands of a mediocre society. And everywhere the society consists of mediocre minds - the middle class, the bourgeoisie; those who have known nothing except chasing after money and power, those who have never seen anything in depth, those who are not aware at all of the...
... man, ready to bow down to any person who has authority and power. I have seen him flattering stupid politicians because he is also hoping to become the vice-chancellor of the university some day and the only way is to go on flattering the politicians, the powerful people. No, I will not ask for a character certificate from him. "All that I can do is: I am here. You look into my eyes, you hold...
... RABBIT ASKED, "HOW CAN YOU PROVE THAT YOU ARE A FOX?" THE FOX DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY, BECAUSE IN THE PAST RABBITS HAD ALWAYS RUN FROM HIM WITHOUT SUCH INQUIRIES. THEN THE RABBIT SAID, "LF YOU CAN SHOW ME WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOU ARE A FOX, I WILL BELIEVE YOU." That is part of the human mind: anything written and people believe it. The written or the printed word has a hypnotic power...
... would have achieved great wealth and power and prestige, but what are you doing? You are destroying your own life's work and effort, slipping back. WHO IS ADVANCED IN TAO SEEMS TO SLIP BACKWARDS. WHO MOVES ON THE EVEN TAO (PATH) SEEMS TO GO UP AND DOWN. To the greater majority the man of truth is someone with whom something has gone wrong, someone who is not normal, who is abnormal. Jesus is abnormal...
... APPEARS LIKE A HOLLOW (VALLEY); It is not hollow, it is filled with the infinite, but you cannot see the infinity. To you it seems empty. A man of divine character looks hollow - he has nothing. Because whatsoever you can count, he has not got that: he has no bank balance, he has no power in this world, he is absolutely powerless. But you cannot see his inner power, that he has a glory totally different...
... you have done, now you have to do the difficult one. And it will happen - all these tears and conflicts, but nothing can bring the love back. A simple thing has to be understood: love - the love that you are talking about - is not in your hands. You have fallen into it. It was not in your power not to fall, so when it comes, it takes you with it. But it is like a breeze, it comes and goes. And it is...
... try to force it, the other tries to force it. But these things are not within your power to force. A forced love is not love. If you have to kiss somebody at the point of a sword - "Kiss!" - what kind of a kiss will that be? Looking at the sword, you may kiss, but it will not be a kiss at all. Any love enforced for any reasons, is not love. And you both know what love is, because you had...
... my house and the university campus. So I was forced to give her a lift every day. She was standing just at the door waiting for me. In just a fifteen-minute drive, she would talk all about her miseries, pain, diseases; it was a daily routine. And I was wondering - she must have some imaginative power! One could not have so many diseases and so many sicknesses - and every day new? Her husband was an...
...; everywhere we are teaching cleverness. Universities are not to make you innocent, they are to make you clever, cunning, calculating. The more clever you are, the better you will be in the struggle of life. You can gain much wealth, prestige, power, if you are calculating. If you are innocent, you will prove to be stupid; if you are innocent, then you will be nowhere in this competitive world. This is the...
... read by every prince and every king in medieval Europe - but he was such a clever person that no king would employ him. He was read - his book was the bible for power-politics, every prince would read his book The Prince and they would follow it - but no king was ready to employ him because he was such a clever man. It was better to keep him away - he was dangerous; he knew too much. He said, "...
... position, no prestige, no power. What type of success is this? Crucifixion cannot be said to be a success. But he was happy. He was totally blissful - even when being crucified. And those who were crucifying him would remain alive for many years but they would remain in misery. So really, who was undergoing crucifixion? That is the point. Those who crucified Jesus, were they undergoing crucifixion? Or...
... to know sex, to know what money can bring, to know what power can give you, then you are not ready. The spiritual urge is not one urge in many urges, no. When all the urges have lost their meaning then it arises. The spiritual urge cannot exist with other urges - that's not possible. It takes possession of your complete being, utterly. It becomes the only one desire. Only then a Master can be of...
... is just the same. Even if differences exist they are just like this: that you have a small car and somebody has a big car, and you are uneducated and somebody is educated; you are poor, somebody is rich... These are nothing; they are not differences really. You may be in power and somebody is poor and a beggar on the street, but these are not differences, these are not uniquenesses. If all your...
... things are taken away, and your education and your power, then your presidents and your beggars will look just alike. One of the great psychoanalysts in the West is Victor Frankl. He has developed a new trend in psychoanalysis: he calls it logotherapy. He was in Adolf Hitler's concentration camps, and he remembers in one of his books that when they were entering into a concentration camp with hundreds...
... his face: if he is serious, he is not going to be successor to me! Let this be the criterion: even a fool will do, but he should be able to laugh and enjoy and celebrate life. But serious people are always in search of power. People who can laugh are not worried about power - that is the problem. Life is so good, who bothers to become a pope? Simple people, happy in their simple ways, don't bother...
... to become this and that. Life is so beautiful that more is not asked. But people who have no enjoyment, they enjoy power; people who have missed love, they enjoy prestige; people who have somehow missed the celebration of life and the dance, they would like to be popes - high powered, controlling people. Beware of them; they have been always the destroyers, the poisoners. They destroyed Buddha...
... for an experiment. And that is again the problem. Now America is the greatest nuclear power in the world, and they are the only nation who has a protective system. Nobody can throw a nuclear missile on their land. It will be immediately returned. Russia is still halfway in creating its protective system. It needs time, at least one year time, to protect itself completely. This one year is more...
... have been there for five years, I have watched closely -- are the ugliest in the world. Pretending all the time about democracy, but there is no democracy at all. Hidden behind the mask of democracy, is simply a fascist regime. And Ronald Reagan will not hesitate, if he sees that within one year Russia will be equal in power, then this time should not be lost -- because this time may not be available...
... looking out in things, in money, in power, in people. That is your mistake that you are looking out, not in. And they go on making the same mistake greater. They tell you it is far away, that is still out of you. It is the god in the heavens, which is simply a lie. All that is needed is to tell you that you are the temple of god, that there is no other temple. That if you want to go anywhere, go inside...
..., respectability, prestige and power through the mind, and anybody who says that mind is not a power but a bondage, that mind is not a prestige but sheer stupidity, that mind is not your honor but simply an indication that you belong to the lowest of human beings ... The real power belongs to the man of no-mind; hence, intellectuals always have felt offended by the mystics. Ta Hui started his journey as an...
... ever. So I controlled myself and looked forward. I never looked back." Something is being created in this child. Some will power, some life-energy, is being awakened in this child which can strengthen his navel system. This father is not hard; this father is very loving. And all the mothers and fathers who seem to be loving are wrong, they are weakening all the inner centers. No strength, no...
... does it arise? Why does it arise? Then slowly, slowly you will become a master of the anger. And the person who becomes a master of his anger has great power, great strength. He becomes strong, he becomes a master of himself. So it is not a question of fighting with the anger, it is a question of knowing the anger - because, remember, there is no greater energy than knowing, and there is no greater...
... have no power over man. With watching, with awareness, they all disappear. I had a friend who had a problem with anger. He said, "I am very much disturbed by it and how much it is beyond my control. Show me a method to control it without me doing something myself - because I have almost given up, I don't think I can do anything about it. I don't think that I can get out of this anger by my own...
