... sleeps - but his spontaneity has a deep background of unconsciousness. The spontaneity is there, but it is unconscious. When the spontaneity is there AND in the background is consciousness, awareness; when the awareness is there and still you don't interfere with the spontaneous... you are so disciplined in your consciousness that you don't create any unnatural discipline for yourself; your awareness...
... helps you to be natural, to be spontaneous, non-interfering, non-repressive. But yet, you are aware. These two things have to be understood. There are people who are unconscious and innocent; they are childish. They will not enter the kingdom of God, they are not sadhus. Then there are people who are conscious and have become unnatural. Because of their consciousness they have started interfering with...
... Adler's terms can be used. What they know as the conscious is the first body. The unconscious is the second - not exactly the same, but near enough to it. What they call the collective unconscious is the third - again, not exactly the same but something approximate to it. And if there are no common terms in usage, new terms can be coined. That is always better, in fact, because new terms have no old...
... awareness will show that the ego is there, watching in the corner, hiding somewhere. And the ego is always aggressive, whether hiding or not hiding, apparent or not apparent. Even hiding in the deepest corner of the unconscious, the ego is aggressive. And when I say that to become totally passive is the art of being a disciple, I mean - dissolve the ego. Then there is nobody who is asking, demanding, then...
... doer. But the ego avoids looking at such facts. The ego looks only at things which you can do. It chooses, accumulates things which can be done, and it avoids, throws into the unconscious, those things which happen. The ego is very choosey. It doesn't look at life in its totality. Truth is a happening, the final happening, the ultimate happening, in which you dissolve into the whole and the whole...
... sleep there is no desire, there is no mind, no thought. But this is not samadhi - this is coma! And many people - in India particularly - go into such a coma, and they think they are in samadhi. For hours together they become unconscious. It is a kind of hysterical fit. You can see their faces, their mouths foaming. You can see the quality of their being. They are just lying down like corpses; they...
.... Man's fall is great, man's rise is great. Man is a ladder between heaven and hell, between the animal and God. Falling towards being an animal is an unconscious process; rising towards being a God is a conscious effort. Buddha says: THE WAY IS EIGHTFOLD. THERE ARE FOUR TRUTHS. These are the four truths, he insists again and again. First: life as you know it is sorrow. He wants to make you aware of the...
... poison to a child to play with; it is dangerous. Man is unconscious, almost in a state of drunkenness. So what will you gain out of it if you stop smoking? O'Leary walked into a bar and ordered a beer and a whisky. He drank the beer and poured the whisky into his vest pocket. O'Leary repeated this routine several times, and finally the puzzled bartender asked, "What is the idea?" "None...
... of your business!" said the Irishman. "And what is more, you are so nosy I have a good mind to punch you in the eye!" Just then a mouse stuck his head out of O'Leary's vest pocket and said, "And that goes for your damned cat too!" Man is unconscious. He only APPEARS conscious, he is not conscious at all. So rather than asking me what I have to say about it, you should watch...
... alert, you will be possessed by them. If you remain unconscious, if you remain sleepy, you will be defeated by those streams. Those streams are not basically enemies to you. They are pure energy, and energy is always neutral. But when you are asleep those same streams are dangerous; when you are awake, those same streams become great creative energies for you. They are rushing towards buddhas too, but...
... time you succeed, your desire for more is projected again and you remain in the same position: miserable, unhappy, frustrated. If you DON'T get what you want, you will be frustrated; if you GET what you want, you will be frustrated. It seems frustration is the destiny, the absolute destiny, of the unconscious man. A psychiatrist was going around a mental hospital. He saw one man beating himself...
... came running out to the clerk. "Say," he cried, "that woman there is dead!" "I know," was the answer, "but how did YOU find out?" Everybody is curious for no reason at all - it was none of his business. Even he cannot answer why - some unconscious instinct, maybe biology, maybe chemistry, but not his consciousness. Who or what is deciding your life? - your...
... gravitational pull keeps it unconscious. Hence this lotus posture is something valuable. It is not just a body phenomenon; it affects the mind, it changes the mind. Sit in a lotus posture - the whole point is that your spine should be erect and should make a ninety-degree angle with the earth. That is the point where you are capable of being the most intelligent, the most alert, the least sleepy. And then...
... Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. The first question: Question 1: BELOVED MASTER, YOU SAY THAT ENLIGHTENMENT CAN HAPPEN ANY MOMENT. TO ME IT FEELS LIKE A VERY SLOW PROCESS OF LEARNING AND BECOMING AWARE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS PARTS OF MY BEING. DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS? Dharmapriya, enlightenment is not a process of learning; on the contrary, it is a process of unlearning...
... say it can happen in a moment, please don't misunderstand me - the moment is not part of time at all! I am saying it can happen immediately; it needs no time at all, not even a single moment is needed. It can happen now... but you cling. You say, "How is it possible? I have to become slowly slowly alert, aware, meditative. Chunk by chunk I have to transform my unconscious being. I have to drop...
... of them - not repression but awareness is needed. Repression makes them more unconscious and more dangerous. Become more conscious of them, watch them, meditate over them. And as you become more and more capable of watching all kinds of thoughts in your mind, you will become more and more detached from them. You will come to know that the observer is separate from the observed, that they are there...
...! I am not against homosexuality, I am simply against this absurdity. It is perfectly good, generous - but then why are you against it here? It is the stupid, unconscious mind of man. He is ready to let go of something in this world, but then he moves to the other extreme. He lets it go here, he renounces it here, and he starts asking for it in the other - the same thing. The problem does not change...
... falling into God all day long, but we are not aware of it. We move round and round and about Him but we know not. Again and again we fall into Him. In every death we fall into Him, in every birth we arise from Him, but we lack remembrance. So we are like the rivers and rivulets. We fall into the ocean but are unconscious of the event. Without awareness we are unfeeling, unconscious. We move as if in a...
