... when you are asleep, unconscious, unaware, unmeditative. And this is natural. It grows... LIKE A VINE IN THE FOREST. And whatsoever you do in this sleep is going to be wrong, remember. You can become an ascetic, you can fast, you can pray, but your prayers will be wrong. Hence, Buddha never says pray; he says meditate. What can you pray? You will always pray FOR something; it will be a desire. You...
... from you LIKE DROPS OF WATER FROM A LOTUS FLOWER. So naturally they disappear, they don't leave a trace behind. THIS IS GOOD COUNSEL AND IT IS FOR EVERYONE: AS THE GRASS IS CLEARED FOR THE FRESH ROOT, CUT DOWN DESIRE LEST DEATH AFTER DEATH CRUSH YOU AS A RIVER CRUSHES THE HELPLESS REEDS. The unconscious man is a helpless victim of circumstances; he is accidental. He has no intrinsic value yet because...
... the British Museum. He was there before the library opened, and he was almost pushed out, every day, when the library closed - and sometimes even carried out, because in his old age he would continue reading and reading, and he would become unconscious. By the time the library was going to be closed they would find that his head was on the table and he was unconscious. He had to be carried out and...
... aspect surfaces, becomes too big, too overwhelming, and the other aspects of the mind are repressed, are covered up. If he is born into a Mohammedan family another aspect of the mind becomes prominent. But the others are always present there, and they go on working from your deep unconscious . So as I see it, each person has all these religions in him. That's why you can find people who can create a...
... tolerant if you are not intolerant? I have never thought that I am tolerant. Why should I think of tolerance at all? If the intolerance is not there somewhere in the unconscious then tolerance is not needed, you are simply yourself. But this idea of "holier than thou", this holy ego is the basic characteristic of the Hindu mind. But it is not just in the Hindu mind; it permeates all the...
...; they may be absolutely unconscious. Just the other day I received a letter from Mother Teresa. I have no intention of saying anything against her sincerity; whatsoever she wrote in the letter is sincere, but it is unconscious. She is not aware of what she is writing; it is mechanical, it is robot-like. She says, "I have just received a cutting of your speech. I feel very sorry for you that you...
... is no other. In fact, all thoughts are always related to the other. The thoughts before the fourth body are unconscious links with others. The thoughts of the fifth body are conscious links but they are still related to others. After all, why are thoughts necessary? They are required only to establish a relationship with others. Until the fourth they are unconscious links; at the fifth they are...
..., the thoughts which exist up to the fourth body are unconscious thoughts; they contain a deep ignorance. It shows that we need thoughts to fight with this self-ignorance. At the fifth there is knowing of the self within, but we are still ignorant about that which is other to us; the other is still there for us. Therefore, there is the need to think in the fifth body. At the sixth there is no inside...
..., you have jealousy. You simply drop them as if they never existed. But how can you drop them? You can simply hide them in the unconscious. Just on the surface you can become loving, deep down the turmoil is hidden. Sooner or later you will be fed up, the beloved will become familiar. They say that familiarity breeds contempt, but it is not that familiarity breeds contempt - familiarity makes you...
... bored, contempt has always been there, hidden. It comes up, it was waiting for the right moment; the seed was there. The mind always has the opposite within it, and that opposite goes into the unconscious and waits for its moment to come up. If you observe minutely, you will feel it every moment. When you say to someone, I love you, close your eyes, be meditative, and feel - is there any hatred hidden...
... place, in some star; the opposite is hidden behind you, in you, in your mind, in the very functioning of the mind. If you can understand this, you will stop in the middle. If you can see I love and I hate, suddenly both will disappear, because both cannot exist together in the consciousness. You have to create a barrier: one has to exist in the unconscious and one in the conscious. Both cannot exist...
... nature. There has been much research and exploration into unconscious matter, but the time has come when we must concentrate on man himself, on his mind. The science of the future will be the science of man, not the science of matter. This change musts occur before it is too late. Those scientists who are committed to the investigation of the inanimate are orthodox men, with minds bound by tradition...
... third option. It is now possible to be neither atheistic nor theistic, now possible to be absolutely free of belief. Now, mankind can free itself from those so-called principles that have been hammered into its unconscious through generations of tradition, through centuries of teaching. The various societies and the different schools of thought always imprint their ideas on young minds in the most...
... formative years. Whether parents are Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Christian or Mohammedan, all implant their views in the minds of their children. And by constant repetition these ideas become firmly ingrained in the unconscious minds of these youngsters. This negates any opportunity for free thinking. The same approach is used to promote atheism, to spread communism. This indoctrination of innocent children is...
... love this is the answer? - that it happened, that it just happened? Love at first sight! Love happened just seeing the other! Do you know where within you this love arose from? How it came? You know nothing about it. Still you want this love to bring happiness to you. You do not know where this love comes from, from which unconscious layer it arises... where its seed is, where it sprouts from. Still...
... one billion dollars, you cannot drink it - it is useless. But once this running has started, it goes on and on. Ask yourself why you are running. You don't have any answer. You are unconscious - you don't know why you are running. You don't know where you are going, why you are going. If you don't go what will you do? Stop? - but how to stop? Stop? - stop for what? You don't know anything about...
... stopping either. Man goes on living as if he is intoxicated, drugged. The various dimensions of our life are not in our hands. We are completely unconscious. Gurdjieff used to say we are more or less sleep-walking. Our eyes are open, true, but our sleep is not broken. Our eyes are full of sleep. Something happens, we go on doing, something goes on - why? We are afraid to ask why, because we have no...
..., they love you. Their love is a kind of bargain, a survival measure. Then there is another kind of love when one is a little older. It is passion, it is unconscious desire; it is a kind of possession. One is no more oneself; one is simply possessed by certain unknown energies, and they drive one. The love of a young man has a drive in it; the love of a child has a need in it. The child wants to get...
... not that unhappiness happens to people - they have decided to remain unhappy. Maybe it is not conscious, maybe it is unconscious and they have forgotten. So try this for three weeks, and stick with the decision. And once you know the knack, it is so simple... It is the simplest thing in the world to be happy or to be unhappy. And one is always the master. You may not know it, but one is always the...
