... was needed on your part. And suddenly one day after nine months, all that world is destroyed. You are uprooted. You were grounded in the womb, you were connected with the mother: you are disconnected. And you have to pass through the birth canal, which is a very narrow canal. The child feels immense pain. The pain is such that he becomes unconscious. That is a built- in mechanism in the mind...
... - whenever something becomes unbearable, the mind simply turns you off so that you need not feel it. In fact, to call any pain unbearable is existentially wrong, because whenever pain becomes unbearable you become unconscious. So you have never known unbearable pain - if you know it, and you are conscious, it is still bearable. Once it reaches to the point where it becomes unbearable, immediately the whole...
... small death. That's why you find it so hard to get up in the morning - because getting up in the morning again disturbs your deep unconscious. It is again a birth - the birth trauma is still affecting you. You will be surprised that primitive people DON'T have any trouble getting up early in the morning. By the time the sun rises they are up, no problem at all. And the reason is because they DON'T...
... there is a transcendence, because there are not two. Violence and nonviolence are not two. Anger and compassion are not two. Love and hate are not two. That's why you know, you observe, but you are so unconscious that you don't recognize the fact. Your love changes into hate within a second. How is it possible if they are two? Not even a second is needed: this moment you love, and next moment you hate...
... compassion, but you know well that you have pushed it down into the unconscious and it is there - and any moment, a little unawareness and it will bubble up, it will surface. So one has to constantly push it down. And this is such an ugly phenomenon if one has to constantly push down negative things - then the whole life is wasted. When will you enjoy the divine? You have no space, no time. You are...
... any conflict. Don't say, "This was bad"; don't feel depressed, frustrated that you have been again distracted. Nothing is wrong in distraction - enjoy it also. If you can enjoy the distraction, less and less it will happen to you. And a day comes when there is no distraction - but this is not a victory. You have not pushed the distracting trends of your mind deep into the unconscious. No...
... - where is the fourth? You become tense about the fourth, and the more tense you become, the less is the possibility to remember it, because a tense mind loses the capacity to remember. A relaxed mind can easily remember; things from the unconscious can surface more easily because the mind is relaxed. If the mind is tense, it is so narrow that it does not allow anything from the unconscious to pass...
... through it. It becomes the eye of the needle - and things in the unconscious are like camels, not like rich men. I have been thinking hard; I can imagine a rich man passing through the eye of a needle, but I cannot imagine a camel passing through the eye of a needle. A rich man, howsoever rich, is still a man; a camel, howsoever poor, is still a camel. It is impossible for the poor camel. The rich man...
... that it is not there. That's how the unconscious is created. The unconscious is not a natural thing. The unconscious is that part of your being that you have rejected, and you don't even want to face it, you don't want to encounter it, you don't want to see that it exists at all. It is there; deep down in your being it goes on manipulating you. And it will take many types of revenge, because it also...
... is the rule to stop: when you start seeing that one person is looking like two, then go home - it is enough." One person looking like two, but the son said, "Where? Where is that one person?" He said, "Look there on that table two persons are sitting." And the son said, "There is nobody!" He had already drunk too much. Remember, when you are unconscious, things...
... don't look as they are; when you are unconscious, you project. Tonight looking at the moon you can press your eye with your finger, and you can see two moons. And when you are seeing two moons, it is very difficult to believe that there is one - you are seeing two. Just think. Somebody is born with a natural defect: his eye has that pressure which makes one thing look like two - he will always see two...
... are unconscious, then you are a fool, then you are drunk, then you don't know how to see. If you see really, then I and you are one, then the seer and the seen are not two. Then you will not see Saraha dancing here - you will see yourself dancing here. Then when I go into ecstasy, YOU will go into ecstasy and that will be the only way to know what has happened to Saraha, there is no other way. What...
... because of fear. Death scares a man. A rope on the road always appears to be a snake. But this was just the opposite: Tulsidas thought the snake to be the rope. He caught hold of it and climbed! He did not realize it even by the touch; he must have been absolutely unconscious. Passion must have made him mad. Seeing his condition his wife said, "If you had loved God the way you love me, then by now...
... idiot, he is hesitant. Do not insist on proving that you are not an idiot, otherwise this insistence will strengthen your idiocy. You must accept it. Your acceptance will dissolve your idiocy. Not only should you accept it but you should also remind yourself every moment that you are an idiot - you are unconscious, ignorant and insane. Then your consciousness will move into a new direction, your inner...
...." Then both of them decided to keep this secret to themselves. This story of Jesus says that whatever you build in the day you demolish at night. Whatever you make during the daytime when you are conscious, you destroy it at night when you are unconscious. There are some people who walk in their sleep. There have been cases in the courts - a woman gets up at night, sets fire to her clothes and...
.... The very fact is that it keeps putting you off again and again and you still believe it. How many times have you believed the mind? Every day it says, "Tomorrow", and when tomorrow comes the mind again says, "Tomorrow". Now it has become your unconscious habit, and the habit is so deep-seated that you hardly think about it. Even in your sleep the mind beguiles you with fresh...
... assurances about the future. Mulla Nasruddin was in bed with a very high fever. I went to see him. I asked his wife how long he had been in that condition. The wife said, "For an hour he has been running a fever of 105 degrees." The Mulla was unconscious. I put a thermometer in his mouth to see what the temperature was. At once he spoke, "A match, please!" He was a chain-smoker and the...
... habit was so deep-rooted that even in that unconscious state the thermometer reminded him of a cigarette. And when you die your condition will be exactly like the Mulla's. "A match, please!" Your mind keeps weaving its webs even in your unconsciousness. At the moment of death you will be filled with the mind. Whether you perform worship or pray or go to the temple or to the holy places...
... meditation, so much so, Lao Tzu says that you stop living for yourself, or you forcefully make yourself unconscious by chemical drugs, the 'I' cannot be annihilated by intoxicants. It can only be forgotten for some time. As long as it is forgotten, you feel nice but as soon as the effect fades away, the ego stands up with double vigour. It will take its revenge for being suppressed so long. As man's ego...
... increased, the world had to invent many more means to become unconscious. The more civilized a country, the more intoxicants it has. Now we have had to discover new things like marijuana, mescaline, L.S.D. Man wants to forget himself somehow. Why after all, does a man take so much trouble to forget himself? Lao Tzu says, "This Creation is so eternal for it is not aware of its existence. The space...
... you are asleep; you awake only after sleep is done. When sleep comes, you are not present - who will then see? When sleep leaves you then also you are asleep - who will then see? Sleep and you never meet. This means, you fell asleep. When sleep comes, you become so unconscious that no part of you stands aside to witness the happening. He who cannot see sleep descending within him, cannot also see...
... were good, just their awareness was nil. They were not conscious people -- your parents, your teachers, your priests, your politicians -- they were not conscious people, they were unconscious. And even a good intention in the hands of an unconscious person turns out to be poisonous. So whenever you are alone, a deep fear -- because suddenly the false starts disappearing. And the real will take a...
... it the best. In your deep unconscious, smoking is related with sucking milk from your mother's breast. And as civilization has grown, no woman wants the child to be brought up by breast-feeding -- naturally; he will destroy the breast. The breast will lose its roundness, its beauty. The child has different needs. The child does not need a round breast, because with a round breast the child will die...
... be breast-fed; but they should be given some substitute breast so that their unconscious does not carry some wound that will create problems for them -- chewing gum and cigarettes and cigars.... These are all symptoms. In different countries they are different. In India they go on chewing pan leaves, or there are many people who use snuff. These are all the same. The snuff looks far away, but it is...
