... you are suffering - - suffering because of sleep, not because of immorality; suffering not because of sin, but because you are unconscious. And they come and they say, "This is why you are suffering. A better morality, a better code of conduct, better behaviour, a better character, and your suffering will disappear." And you start correcting yourself, and you cannot correct - you need help...
..., unconscious, how can you correct yourself? At the most, you can have a little better dreams. Maybe not in black and white - technicolour dreams, psychedelic dreams, but you can only have better dreams in sleep. You cannot have reality in sleep. I have heard: It was a dark, cloudy night and the drunk staggered into the cemetery and fell into a hole which had been dug in preparation for a burial the following...
... only one thing: to be more conscious, to live more consciously. DOES ANYONE OR ANYTHING NEED CORRECTION? IT PUZZLES ME. It has puzzled everybody down the ages. Forget about correction. Put your total energy into awakening. There are only two ways to be: unconscious or conscious. Choose.... The third question Question 3: "ENLIGHTENMENT IS MY TRUE NATURE; THERE IS NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING."...
...? You will simply cover them up. You will pretend that they are not there. You will throw them into the unconscious, in the basement of your being, and will never look there. And they will accumulate there and one day they will explode. No, that is not to be done. When distrust comes, allow it to come, and know that it is there. Accept it. It must have some meaning. If it is there, it must have some...
... few days you are utterly bored and you cannot escape. There is no way to escape. You can't go to the movie, you can't look at the TV; you can't have anything that can help you to avoid it. You are thrown into it again and again. Great courage is needed to face it. It is almost like death; in fact, far more hard than death, because death comes when you become unconscious. And you are stirring ALL...
... one question that will not find an answer from yourself... asking it will be of great import - that will become a bridge between me and you. Always go into the unconscious roots of your question. There is another question on similar line: Question 3: IN YOUR LAST LECTURE YOU CALLED YUDHISHTHIRA, THE DHARMARAJ, AN IRRELIGIOUS PERSON SIMPLY BECAUSE HE LOST HIS WIFE IN GAMBLING. BUT WHAT ABOUT ONE OF...
... disciples - forty thousand are women. So was the case with Mahavir too. Why? Why does a woman easily become a disciple, very easily, naturally. She knows how to receive. For man it is a little more difficult. For man it takes a little longer - -because he has no physical womb so he does not know how to receive. He also has a spiritual womb, but that is unconscious. The woman has a spiritual womb and a...
... - I had told him that I never miss a Mark. Last night he came to see me, and he tried, but I didn't miss him. He was so perfectly womblike, but he was not aware of his own womb. It is deep hidden into the recesses of the unconscious. And the moment he surrendered, a great grace arose in him. His face changed, became luminous. Chintana, the problem with you is: you are a woman but you had fallen in...
.... So is the case in samadhi: all thinking disappears, all imagination disappears, all dreaming disappears. The only difference is, in deep sleep you are unconscious, in samadhi you are conscious. Otherwise both take you to the same home, to the source. Sleep totally. When you are walking, walk totally, let everything else disappear. Enjoy the totalness of a morning walk, all that is involved in it...
... where he is. There is some unconscious pull. In Buddha's days there was no way, because the world was really very disconnected. Nations existed secluded; there was nothing like newspapers, radio, television - no way to spread the message. But people started moving. From almost every nook and corner of the known world, people came to Buddha. Somehow it functions, it spreads; it has its own momentum...
... luminous energy of being alert, peaceful, at ease, at rest, at home - starts many people moving towards that source. It is not really in the mind that it happens, this pull. It happens deeper than the mind: it happens in your unconscious. You say: I WANT TO BE A MASTER. That will be a barrier. And the reason is the idea of just sitting there and doing nothing. You must be a mighty lazy person. Just...
... belongs to me - or, only nothing belongs to me. You can see your faces, you can see your innermost instincts, you can see your unconscious, reflected in me. Remember always not to project it, otherwise that will be a misunderstanding. Your love is good: let this love go higher and higher - because always, almost always, it starts with the body. Nothing is wrong with the body, but that is the very very...
... acceptable. And those programmes have been put so deep down in your being that you have become unconscious of them. It appears as if you are acting out of freedom; you have been tremendously deceived. Even when you think you are acting out of freedom, even when you think you are acting out of your own conscience, you are not. The society is controlling you in a very subtle way. The moment the child is born...
... astrology can be of help to a person who is still unconscious, but it is absolutely meaningless about a Buddha. A mechanical person can be predicted: his past is available, and his future is not going to be very very different from it - maybe a little bit different here and there, in details, but the general trend is fixed. But a man of awareness is absolutely unpredictable. How he will react, respond...
..., nobody knows. He HIMSELF does not know it - remember it. How can he know? How can the mirror know what is going to be reflected in it next moment? Whether a cloud will pass, or a man or a woman or a child - who knows? And nobody may pass, it may remain empty - then it will reflect emptiness. The unconscious man is like a painted picture, fixed. The conscious man is only a mirror. There is a very...
... others to meditate. And whatsoever you gain out of meditation, shower it on others. Share it - in sharing, it will grow. Whenever you meditate and you come upon beautiful spaces, IMMEDIATELY pray to existence: "Let my joy be showered over every being - conscious, unconscious. I DON'T want any personal claim over it." When you attain to satoris, share. DON'T hold then, DON'T become possessive...
... are bisexual. If the conscious mind is man, then the unconscious is woman. If the conscious mind is woman, then the unconscious is man. It has to be so. And the desire to meet with the woman or with the man on the outside is not going to fulfill you - unless you know how to meet the inner man and the inner woman. The outer woman can give you only a few glimpses of meeting, beautiful moments, but at...
... meeting, and that is one of the secret messages of Tao: that you can find your inner woman - where your conscious and unconscious meet, where your light and darkness meet, where your earth and sky meet, where your positive and negative meet. And once that meeting has happened within you, you are whole. This is what is called the man of Tao. The man of Tao is neither man nor woman. He has come back to...
... his oneness. He is alone... all one. You cannot call Lao Tzu a man or a woman, or Buddha a man or a woman, or Jesus a man or a woman. Biologically they are, spiritually they are not. Spiritually they have gone beyond. Buddha has no unconscious in him, no division. He's undivided. And when you are undivided all conflict within you ceases. Otherwise you are in a INSTANT civil war: you are not only...
... WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU SEE? This question is from Pratima. I see the first layer, the Pratima which is not real - the pretension, the effort to show something that is not there. Then at the second layer I see another Pratima, which is there, but which the first layer is trying to hide, to suppress, to push into the dark. Then I see the third layer which is so unconscious that the first two layers are...
... interpretation, which is going to be false because nobody else can interpret your unconscious because it is an individual script. They can have generalized ideas about it but they won't be of much help. That's why every psychologist and every psychoanalyst has his own way of decoding it - and they are all right. Nobody can be proved wrong. Only you can decipher it really: it is your unconscious talking to you...
... third layer, the unconscious. To penetrate the third layer is very difficult because it consists of all your past lives, all the millions of past lives you have lived. You lived like a rock, then dissolved and became a plant; you lived like a tree, then died and became an animal; you lived like an animal, then died and became a man - millions of lives. Hindus say that everybody has passed through...
... accept the day, but the night is also there - whether you accept it or not, it is there and it will remain in the unconscious, suppressed. A saint always dreams of sins. Don't look at the saint, rather penetrate into his dreams and you will find the sinner hiding there. People who try to become celibate always dream of sex - they will have to. Where will people who try to manage their life with the day...
..., in their unconscious, struggling hard to come up. That's why your saints, your so-called saints, go on trembling - they are afraid of the sins that they have not committed. This is really something. Imagine - a sinner is not afraid of sins that he has committed, but a saint is very afraid of sins that he has not committed because they are inside knocking at the door: Open the door and allow us...
... alone; even if others are there everybody lives alone in his own cell. Why so much fear of the world? The fear of the world is the fear of the unconscious, because if you are here in the market-place who knows, any moment the temptation may be too much. But if you have gone to a far-away monastery in the Himalayas, you cannot do anything - there is no woman. And by the time you reach Poona, the...
... also condemned as sin all that you condemn and has dropped it into his own unconscious. Then he lives half-heartedly on the surface, always afraid of the roots inside, always trembling and praying, praying to God to save him from temptations. You can understand him, he is very close to you; the boundary line is not very big or solid, it is vague. But real perfection, a real man of perfection, is so...
... so-called society has been teaching you to repress. Man need not have ANY unconscious. It is because of repression that man has become divided between conscious and unconscious. It is the great work of your so-called society. It is a conspiracy against man. Once man is divided he starts becoming a weakling, because he starts fighting within himself. He is split, he becomes schizophrenic. And the...
... and the unconscious; to help the individual not to repress any more but to accept himself, not to condemn but to love himself. You can call it a 'self-regarding cult' - because I teach self-love. And you have been told that there is something wrong with self-love. You have been told, "Love others, but never love yourself." But how can you love others if you cannot even love yourself...
... close. He was afraid really that if he came to know about his own unconscious he might never be the same man again. That's why we go on avoiding. But a psychoanalyst cannot avoid; hence your problem. You will have to learn to be so silent that rather than the neurotic assertions of the patient affecting you, your silence starts affecting the patient. You have to be more potential, you have to be more...
... day the very understanding of its nonsense brings you out of it. Nothing is to be done; you have just to understand, you have just to learn through life. Move! - have as many experiences as possible, because experience is the only school. Move and don't be afraid; but learn - just moving won't do. You have been moving and travelling; that won't help. If you just go on moving in an unconscious way...
... are clinging to the wheel, and you go on moving with the wheel, Become aware that you are repeating. Repetition is unconscious. Become aware that you have been behaving like a robot, not like a man. Become aware. Go back and watch, relive the moments and see that you have been doing the same thing again and again - the same anger, then again the repentance, the same marriage, and again the divorce...
... happen. It always happens. At twelve in the night I went to sleep, and just when I had put the light out, she screamed. I went in, I looked at her - she was completely unconscious, she had fainted. The moment she went to her bed and put the light out, the man did his thing exactly at the right moment. It took four or five minutes for her to come to. She would look at the corner of the room, close her...
... later. Initiate me - teach me that which never dies, teach me the deathless. And she added: Forgive me, because I was unconscious. I said something to you which was not true; I said to you that you are hard, you are like a rock, that your heart is not a heart. But I know I was wrong. Not a single tear came to Buddha. He is not sentimental, he is sensitive. When you are sensitive, only then can you...
... answer. Your question is there, I am here - a response is bound to happen. Response is responsibility. Response is authenticity. Response is living in the moment. So, if the disciple was a little more aware, I don't know what would have happened. What would have happened I don't know; nobody can say. You can always predict for unconscious people. I can say that if you were there instead of that...
... the difference. Not just a slit is open in you; you are completely open. Everything is allowed. Then the birds enrich. Then a dog barks somewhere - that too enriches. Nothing distracts if you are not concentrating. You create the problem by concentration. Being alert means being open, alive, not sleepy, not unconscious. But it is not a question of watching; otherwise you will become tense. If you...
... enlightened I have not uttered a single word. You must have been listening to somebody else, not to me. I am keeping silence. Try to listen again and you will not find a single word uttered. Somewhere there has been a mistake. In your dream you may have heard me talking. I have not talked. When you are unconscious you talk. When you become conscious you become silent. An anecdote: "George Johnson, a...
..., even if you don't say much, you say much. And you are caught in whatsoever you say. If people who are unconscious remain silent, the world will be very much better. When you become conscious, you can go on saying - it is never enough. And people who have attained, if they remain silent, the world will be very much poorer. Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
