I am here to help you to start trusting yourself again. Once you start
trusting your own being, no politician, no priest can exploit you. Man is

always: if you start feeling guilty about something around me, then you
are doing it on your own, then you are still carrying the voices of your
parents, the priests within you; you have not yet heard me, you have not
yet listened to me. I want you to be totally free of all guilt.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

humanity. To create guilt in a child is criminal because once the guilt is
created, the child will never be free of it. Unless he is very intelligent
it will be impossible for him to get rid of it; something of it will
remain around him like a hangover.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

guilt-creators, because that is the only way that you can be controlled and
manipulated. A very simple, but very cunning trick to manipulate you. They
have condemned you, because if you are accepted, not condemned -- loved,
appreciated, and if it is relayed to you from everywhere that you are okay
-- then it will be difficult to control you. How to control a person who
is absolutely okay? The very problem doesn`t arise.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

feeling of shame simply shows you that you need not be a sinner, that you
are meant to be a saint. If you are a sinner it is only because of your
unconsciousness; you are not a sinner because the society follows a
certain morality and you are not following it.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

nothing higher, nothing lower; all of you is divine. The lowest is as

the priests to exploit. It is a conspiracy between the priest and the
politician to keep humanity in deep slavery forever. They create guilt in
you, they create great fear of sin. They condemn you, they make you
afraid, they poison your very roots with the idea of guilt. They destroy
all possibilities of laughter, joy, celebration. Their condemnation is
such that to laugh seems to be a sin, to be joyous means you are worldly.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

religion has no need of the concept at all. The pseudo-religion cannot
live without the concept of sin, because sin is the technique of creating
guilt in people.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

thing: start calling mistakes, errors -- sins. They are simply mistakes,
human. Now, if somebody commits a mistake in mathematics -- two plus two,
and he concludes it makes five -- you don`t say he has committed a sin. He
is unalert, he is not paying attention to what he is doing. He is
unprepared, he has not done his homework. He is certainly committing a
mistake, but a mistake is not a sin. It can be corrected. A mistake does
not make him feel guilty. At the most it makes him feel foolish.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

few people are the blessed people; others are simply groping in darkness.
Meditation gives you an inner light, and then wherever you are there is
light and whatsoever you do, you do in full light and clarity. Hence there
is never any guilt, no repentance, no looking back. Whatsoever one does,
one feels that`s the only thing that can be done. It is always right.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

drop your parental voices within, the priestly voices within. You will
have to get rid of your parents and your conditioning. Life has been in
such a trap up to now that even a small child starts feeling guilty. We
have not yet been able to develop an education which can help people to
grow without feeling guilty. And unless that education happens man will
remain ill, ill at ease.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

`I am doing something: I going to open a hospital, going to open a
college. I give money to this charity fund, to that trust....` You feel a
little happier. The world has lived in poverty, the world has lived in
scarcity, ninety-nine percent of people have lived a poor life, almost
starving and dying, and only one percent of people have lived with
richness, with money -- they have always felt guilty. To help them, the
religions developed the idea of charity. It is to rid them of their guilt.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

oneself. We are brought up with guilt feelings deeply rooted in us. From
the very beginning we are condemned by the parents, by the teachers, by
the priests, by the politicians, by the whole establishment. A single note
is continuously repeated to every child: that `Whatsoever you are doing is
not right. You are doing what should not be done and you are not doing
what should be done.` Every child is given directly and indirectly the
impression that he is not really wanted, that his parents are tired, that
he is being somehow tolerated, that he is a nuisance.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

inhibition. If you can enjoy life with no guilt and no inhibition, a great
compassion for your parents will arise in you. Now you will not be able to
see how this can function.... No child is ever able to forgive his parents
unless he becomes guiltless, because parents mean guilt. They have created
the guilt, the basic guilt: do this, don`t do that; be like this and don`t
be like that. They were the first creative elements, but they were also
destructive. They helped the child to grow, they loved the child, but they
had their own minds and conditionings and they tried to impose those
conditionings on the child. So every child hates the parents.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

In your witnessing is the miracle -- the whole mystery of life.<span><a name='more'></a></span><br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">Meditation is nothing but putting the mind aside, putting the mind out of the way, and bringing a witnessing which is always there but hidden underneath the mind. This witnessing will reach to your center, and once you have become enlightened, then there is no problem. Then bring the mind in tune with you.<br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">You are the witness, to whom things happen but who remains a witness. Witnessing is the art of nonidentification, and nonidentification is all. Nonidentification is all there is to meditation. It is the whole meditation.</span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;"> </span></li>

That's my method of meditation. It is not a prayer because there is no God to pray to. It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts passing before you. Just witnessing -- not interfering, not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say this is good, this is bad, you have already jumped into the thought process. It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise: you are not the mind, you are the witness, a watcher.<br />This process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion, because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. A moment comes when there is no thought at all. You are, but the mind is utterly empty. That is the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment when for the first time you become unconditioned, sane, a really free human being.<br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">(Osho) whatever I am doing, my meditation continues. It is not something that I have to do it separately; it is just an art of witnessing. Speaking to you, I'm also witnessing myself speaking to you. So here are three persons: you are listening, one person is speaking, and there is one behind who is watching and that is my real me. And to keep constant contact with it is meditation. So whatever you do does not matter, you just keep contact with your witness.<br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">(Osho) My teaching is meditation. Meditation means to me, witnessing on three levels: action of the body, thoughts of the mind, feelings of the heart. Once a person becomes aware of these three things, the fourth step happens on its own accord. A quantum leap, suddenly he is at his very center, which is his life, deathless life. You can call it his soul, his being, and it is the greatest bliss in existence. There is nothing above it.<br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">Meditation simply means a discipline that makes you capable of being aloof and detached from your mind. So even if the mind is sick, your consciousness is never sick. Even if your mind is going crazy, you are just witnessing it. Mind is only a machine. You are not. Meditation is the experience: "I am not my body, not my mind -- I am the witness of it all." This experience, this transcendental experience, immensely transforms the whole situation. Many things which were driving you crazy simply drop away.<br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">Slowly slowly each act of your life should turn into a meditative act. Then there is a possibility to attain to enlightenment. Then you can sit also because that too is an act, but you are not specifically identifying sitting with meditation -- that too is a part. Walking you meditate, working you meditate, sometimes sitting silently you meditate, sometimes lying on your bed you meditate... meditation should become your constant companion.<br />And this meditation that can become constant companion is a very simple thing, I call it witnessing. Just go on witnessing whatsoever is happening. Walking you witness, sitting you witness, eating you witness yourself eating, and you will be surprised that the more you witness things the better you can do them because you are non-tense, their quality changes. You will also note that the more meditative you become every gesture of yours becomes soft, non-violent, has a grace in it. And not only you will notice it, others will start noticing it.<br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">With your witnessing there will be a few difficulties: your old friends may not remain your friends any more, not that you have done any harm to them but simply you have changed and now you no longer fit with their state, with their consciousness. So don't be worried about that. If you are married and you find that your wife is falling far away from you then it is better to tell her what you are doing: that if she wants to be with you, if she loves you the way you love her, you would like her also to be a companion on the path of meditation. Otherwise, soon you will be so far away from each other that everything will be misunderstood.<br />Your children will find that you are a different person -- you are no more the same old papa. It is better to help your children to learn a little bit of witnessing. And don't think that they cannot learn; they can learn better than grown up people because they are fresh, they are not loaded with any past. Just you have to be more friendly with them than fatherly. And before the rift happens it is better to make it clear to them, "It will not be my fault if the family falls apart. I have chosen a path which is going to give me something and I would like it to be shared by you all."<br />I don't want any family to be disturbed by anybody in the name of spirituality, and if we can be a little more loving and compassionate and make them understand -- and they will be able to see that you are less angry, you are less tired, you are less frustrated, you are more loving, more compassionate -- they will surely come with you.<br /> </span></li>
<li style="background: none; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 3px !important; margin: 3px 0px 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><span style="color: #5040ae;">The mind can stop, but not by your effort but by your effortless witnessing. That is the whole meaning of meditation. Relax. Don't force, and just watch. Let the mind do its things. It will take a little patience, but it has always happened. It is almost a scientific law, without exception, that if you can manage a little patience you will come to a point where the watcher is nourished and the mind becomes unnourished, and the thoughts start disappearing. When the whole energy of your consciousness moves into watching, you will find there is no mind at all. And to know a state of no-mind is the greatest experience in life a man is capable of. It is ecstasy. It is superconsciousness. It is self-realization. There is nothing higher than that.<br /> </span></li>

mind, you are in yoga; when there is mind you are not in yoga. So you may
do all the postures, but if the mind goes on functioning, if you go on
thinking, you are not in yoga. Yoga is the state of no-mind. If you can be
without the mind without doing any posture, you have become a perfect
yogi. It has happened to many without doing any postures, and it has not
happened to many who have been doing postures for many lives.<span><a name='more'></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

name as far as the world of yoga is concerned. This man is rare. There is
no other name comparable to Patanjali. For the first time in the history
of humanity, this man brought religion to the state of a science: he made
religion a science, bare laws; no belief is needed.</span></li>

doesn’t say to believe in anything. Yoga says experience. Just like
science says experiment, yoga says experience. Experiment and experience
are both the same, their directions are different. Experiment means
something you can do outside; experience means something you can do
inside. Experience is an inside experiment<o:p></o:p></span></li>

belief is required, no faith is needed – only courage to experience. And
that’s what’s lacking. You can believe easily because in belief you
are not going to be transformed. Belief is something added to you,
something superficial. Your being is not changed; you are not passing
through some mutation.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

discipline. It is something you have to do. It is not curiosity; it is not
philosophic speculation. It is deeper than that. It is a question of life
and death.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

means a methodology to reveal the truth. Yoga is a method to come to a
non-dreaming mind. Yoga is the science to be in the here and now. Yoga
means now you are ready not to move into the future. Yoga means you are
ready now not to hope, not to jump ahead of your being. Yoga means to
encounter the reality as it is.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

he is totally frustrated with his own mind as it is. If you are still
hoping that you can gain something through your mind, yoga is not for you.
A total frustration is needed – the revelation that this mind which
projects is futile, the mind that hopes is nonsense, it leads nowhere. It
simply closes your eyes; it intoxicates you; it never allows reality to be
revealed to you. It protects you against reality.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

future, now there are no desires. One is ready to know what is. One is not
interested in what can be, what should be, what ought to be. One is not
interested! One is interested only in that which is, because only the real
can free you, only the reality can become liberation.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

pessimistic; yoga is neither. If you are pessimistic, you cannot enter on
the path of yoga because a pessimist clings to his miseries. He will not
allow his miseries to disappear. Optimist clings to his hopes and
pessimist clings to his miseries, to his hopelessness. That hopelessness
has become the companion. Yoga is for one who is neither, who has become
so totally hopeless that even to feel hopelessness is futile.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

crystallized center in you. As you are, you are a crowd and a crowd has
many phenomena. One is, you cannot believe a crowd. Gurdjieff used to say

promise, who will fulfill the promise? Next morning the one who promised

means now you will have to be a harmony, you will have to become one. A
crystallization is needed; a centering is needed. And unless you attain a
center, all that you do is useless. It is wasting life and time. A center
is the first necessity, and only a person can be blissful who has got a
center. Everybody asks for it, but you cannot ask. You have to earn it!
Everybody hankers for a blissful state of being, but only a center can be
blissful. A crowd cannot be blissful, a crowd has got no self. There is no
atman. Who is going to be blissful.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

medical science is concerned, normal. They are not schizophrenic; they are
not mad they are not neurotic. They are normal people, healthy people with
no particular pathology. Still, they become aware that whatsoever is
called normality is futile, whatsoever is called health is of no use.
Something more is needed, something greater is needed, something holier

â€cessation of the mindâ€, this is meant: cessation as a master. Mind
ceases as a master. Then it is not active. Then it is a passive
instrument. You order, it works; you don’t order, it remains still. It
is just waiting. It cannot assert by itself. The assertion is lost; the
violence is lost. It will not try to control you.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

chauvinistic. In fact, to go into Tantra you will need the cooperation of

life. It is not an attitude of negation; it is utter positivity. Only a
woman can teach Tantra. Somebody asked me why I have chosen Kaveesha to be
the group leader for Tantra – only a woman can be a Tantra group leader.
It will be difficult for a man. Yes, sometimes a man can also be, but then
he will have to become very very feminine. A woman is already; she has
already those qualities, those loving, affectionate qualities; she
naturally has that care, that love, that feeling for the soft.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

civilization. It says if you are too much cultured you will lose all that
is natural, and then you will be a mechanical thing, not floating, not
flowing. So don’t force a structure around you – live moment to
moment, live with alertness. And this is a deep thing to be understood.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

the more cultured, the more civilized a person, the less is the
possibility of his Tantric transformation. The less civilized, the more
primitive, the more alive a person is. The more you become civilized, the
more you become plastic – you become artificial, you become too much
cultivated, you lose your roots into the earth. You are afraid of the
muddy world. You start living away from the world; you start posing
yourself as though you are not of the world. Tantra says: To find the real
person you will have to go to the roots.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

It has nothing like â€no†in its vocabulary, there is no negation. It
never says no to anything, because with no the fight starts, with no you
become the ego. The moment you say no to anything, you have become the ego
already; a conflict has come in, now you are at war.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

destruction? – no. And a transformation comes when you accept your total
being. Then suddenly everything falls in line, then everything takes its
own place; then anger is also absorbed, then greed is also absorbed. Then
without trying to cut anything out of your being, your whole being
rearranges itself. If you accept and say yes, a rearrangement happens, and
whereas before there was a noisy clamor inside, now a melody, a music is
born, a harmony comes in.</span></li>

being you can achieve ever. With acceptance desires fall. With acceptance,
a desirelessness comes into being by itself. You don’t practice it, you
don’t force it upon yourself. You don’t cut your desires – just by
accepting, they disappear.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

knowing. Unless you do something, unless you change, unless you have a
different perspective to look at, to look with, unless you move in an
altogether different dimension than the intellect, there is no answer.
Answers can be given – they are all lies. All philosophies are lies. You
ask a question and the philosophy gives you an answer. It satisfies you or
does not satisfy you. If it satisfies you, you become a convert to the
philosophy, but you remain the same. If it does not satisfy you, you go
on searching for some other philosophy to be converted to. But you remain
the same; you are not touched at all, you are not changed.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

acts, it teaches only about your being. Who you are is the point – fast
asleep, snoring, or awake? Who are you alert, conscious, or moving in
a hypnosis? Are you a sleepwalker? or are you awake, alert, whatsoever you
do? Do you do it with self-remembrance? No. It happens you don't know
why, from where it comes, from what part of the unconscious comes an urge
which possesses you, and you have to act.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

man. He must have called in his childhood, "Jesus, don't be befooled
by others." And he was not befooled, so others had to crucify him,
because he was not part of the game. Socrates had to be poisoned and
killed, Mansoor had to be murdered. These are people who have escaped from
the prison, and whatsoever you say you cannot persuade them to come back.

Bible, there would have been no record of him. The record belongs to his
four disciples; nobody else has ever mentioned him, whether he existed or
not. He was not famous. He was not successful. Can you think of a greater

Jesus. The learned fools are always disturbed by the blessed fools. They
had to murder him because his very presence was uncomfortable; his very
presence was such a pinnacle of peace, love, compassion and light, that
all the learned fools became aware that their whole being was at stake. If

because we know he enjoyed drinking -- it is impossible to think of a
person who enjoys drinking and not laughing. He enjoyed women -- it is
difficult to think of a man who enjoys women and not laughing. He was
friendly, almost in love, with a prostitute, Mary Magdalene. It is
difficult to move with a prostitute -- he was not moving with a Catholic
monk, not with a priest, not with the Pope... with a prostitute! These
were the condemnations against him.</span></li>

enemies because he was only thirty-three when he was crucified, and there
were only three years of work because he appeared at the age of thirty. Up
to that time he was with the mystery schools, going around the world to
Egypt, to India, and the possibility is even to Tibet and to Japan.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

preparation; the record is very abrupt. Something about his childhood is
said, very fragmentary. And only once is he mentioned: when he was twelve
years of age and he started arguing with the priests in the temple --
that's all. Then there is a gap of eighteen years... nothing is mentioned.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

for eighteen years and then suddenly explode into Christhood; that is not
possible. These eighteen years he was moving with different Masters, with
different systems, getting initiated into different mystery schools,
learning whatsoever was available, getting in tune with as many Masters as
possible. He appears at the age of thirty and by the age of thirty-three
he is crucified. In three years he really did a good job! He was quick!
You cannot think that he was diplomatic; he was the most undiplomatic man
ever. In fact, that's the way the awakened people behave.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

moment you become capable of deep love, life becomes god. It is a

be the right situation for you; that`s why you are in it.` Existence cares
for you. It is given to you not without any reason. It is not accidental;
NOTHING IS accidental. Whatsoever is your need is given to you. If it were
your need to be in the Himalayas, you would have been in the Himalayas.
And when the need arises, you will find that either you go to the
Himalayas or the Himalayas come to you. It happens... when the disciple is
ready, the Master arrives. And when your inner silence is ready, God
arrives. And whatsoever is needed on the path is always supplied.
Existence cares, mothers.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

not indifferent towards you. It is deeply concerned about you, it cares
for you, it loves you. and when one feels loved and cared for, one is
capable of loving and caring. when existence pours its love into you, you
start sharing your love with others. You become so burdened with love that
you have to share. You cannot contain it, it is uncontainable. It starts
spreading, radiating.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

unitary. Existence is ADVAITA, existence is non-dual -- there is no
problem. Where is the boundary of the day, when the day stops, ceases to
be, and the night starts? Is there a gap between the two? Only if there is
a gap then the boundary is possible. But there is no boundary! The day
simply melts into the night, it merges into the night, and the night again
merges into the day. Life is one, existence is one -- mind is dual. So if
you go on choosing you will never come to the source. Then you will cling
to life and you will be afraid of death. Then you will cling to love and
you will be afraid of hate. Then you will cling to the good and you will
be afraid of the bad. Then you will cling to God and you will be afraid of
the Devil.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

of God as far away, distant; that creates difficulties. Think of Him as a
friend who is walking by your side, following you like a shadow, who cares
for you, who loves you and who needs you as much as you need Him. That is
the meaning of a friend. The need is not one-sided: it is not only that
you need Him -- He also needs you. You are incomplete without Him and He
is incomplete without you. That is the meaning of friendship: you both
complement each other. This whole existence is interdependence. This small
blade of grass is as significant, is needed, is required, as much as the
greatest star. There is equality.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

understanding all that is beautiful in life, all that is great in
existence. And the whole existence is full of greatness, full of glories.
This is the only existence there is; its beauty, its truth, is the only

people. Blessed are the innocent, for theirs is the kingdom of God.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

itself. Existence is not indifferent to you, it is not detached. It is
committed to you, it cares for you. It may not care the way you want to be
cared for, but it still cares in its own way. And what you expect may not
really be your need, it may be just the opposite. Existence really
fulfills your needs -- not your likes and dislikes, not your wants, but
your real, true, authentic needs are always taken care of. Existence
cannot be indifferent to you: you are part of it. To be indifferent to you
will mean it is indifferent to itself -- that is impossible. Existence
would have disappeared long ago if it was so.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

opposites: the conqueror and the conquered, the observer and the observed,
the object and the subject, the day and the night. It goes on dividing
things which are not divided. Neither is the day divided from the night,
nor is birth divided from death. They are one energy. But mind goes on
dividing everything into polarities, opposites. Nothing is opposite in
existence; every contradiction is only apparent. Deep down all
contradictions are meeting together.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

that protects you, cares for you, is always available. If you go on
missing it, it is only because of you. If you keep your doors closed, the
sun may be outside but you will live in darkness. Even if the doors are
open and the sun is there, you can keep your eyes closed and you will
still live in darkness. So is the case with god: his love is always there
but our hearts are not open, our hearts are closed.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

existence cares for you, it is not indifferent. Let this be the foundation
of your sannyas and then the temple can be raised very easily. It is easy
to raise the temple once the foundation is rightly put. This is the
foundation stone: remember that existence loves you, cares about you, is
concerned about you; that you are not alienated, that you are not a
stranger, that you are part of this great symphony, this orchestra, this
celebration that goes on and on and knows no ending.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

payment. If you want to know yourself, you will have to drop all false

prestige, they are your religion, they are your qualifications. It is

again. And he also says: `Love thy enemy as thyself.` And if you analyze
both the sentences together, you will come to find that the neighbor and
the enemy are almost always the same person. `Love thy neighbor as
thyself` and `Love thy enemy as thyself.` What does he mean? He simply
means: don`t have any barriers for your compassion, for your love. As you
love yourself, love the whole existence -- because in the ultimate
analysis the whole existence is yourself. It is you -- reflected in many
mirrors. It is you -- it is not separate from you. Your neighbor is just a
form of you; your enemy is also a form of you. Whatsoever you come across,
you come across yourself. You may not recognize because you are not very
alert; you may not be able to see yourself in the other, but then
something is wrong with your vision, something is wrong with your eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

fundamental law of life, that god is our protection, that we are not
orphans, that we are not accidents, that existence cares for us, that
existence showers love, that existence is absolutely concerned about our
welfare. Once this is understood, not only intellectually but
existentially, once this is felt, once this becomes your own experience,
life takes an absolutely new turn. One starts feeling blissful for no
reason at all. Whereas before misery existed and persisted for no reason at
all, now bliss exists for no reason at all. It is the same energy that was
becoming misery because we were feeling alone, separated, afraid of this
vast existence, struggling on our own with a small energy against the
whole, knowing perfectly well that we were doomed to fail. That is why
people are miserable.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

not God, is not soul... it is freedom: freedom absolute, total,
unconditional. He does not want to give you an ideology, because every
ideology creates its own slavery.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

who is absolutely contented as he is, is free of all bondage. He has
attained to ultimate freedom, nirvana -- and that is the goal of life. And
it is only by attaining that freedom that you will know the significance
of being, the song of being, the celebration of being. Your life will
become a continuous bliss, and not only that YOU will be blissful, you
will be able to bless others too. The whole existence will be blessed by
you, by your very presence.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

wisdom, it brings freedom. These two flowers grow out of meditation. When
you become silent, utterly silent, beyond the mind, two flowers bloom in
you. One is of wisdom: you know what is and what is not. And the other is
of freedom: you know now there are no more any limitations on you, either
of time or of space. You become liberated. Meditation is the key to
liberation, to freedom, to wisdom.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

comes and goes, all things come and pass. Life is a flux. Your
consciousness is the only thing that is immovable, that is eternal. To
attain it is freedom. To attain it is the goal of life. If you miss it you
have missed your life and you have missed a tremendously great gift, a
great opportunity.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

the present. When you live in the present moment, with no past hanging
around you, with no future projection, you are free from life and death,
you are free from body and mind. You are free -- simply free -- you are
freedom.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

freedom from all prejudices, freedom from all scriptures, freedom from all
concepts and ideologies, freedom from all desires, freedom from all
possessiveness and jealousy, freedom from all hatred, anger, rage, lust...
in short, freedom from everything, so that you are just a pure
consciousness, unbounded, unlimited. That is the greatest joy, and it is
possible -- it is within everybody`s grasp. You just have to grope for it
a little. The groping will be in the dark, but it is not far away. If you
try, if you make an effort, you are bound to find it. It is your
birthright.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

out, because they are continuously there. You can watch them, and by
watching them you will become unidentified with them, you will become a
mirror reflecting them. And this brings great freedom. Freedom from dreams
is freedom from the world.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

your life. Buddhahood is your flowering, your fragrance. A tree is
fulfilled when it blooms, and a man is fulfilled when he releases the
fragrance of buddhahood, when he becomes luminous; then he comes to know
who he is. In knowing that, all is known. In knowing that, God is known.
In knowing that, truth is achieved -- you become the truth, and truth
liberates. Truth is freedom.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

action. And reaction is a binding: it binds you into new prisons, new
chains. Response is out of freedom, hence it brings more freedom. Reaction
is out of the past; you act according to your memories, built-in by your
experiences, conditionings. You react not to the present, not in the
present. You don`t reflect the real situation as it is; you go on
interpreting it according to your past, your past experiences. The man who
is awake is like a mirror: he reflects that which is the case. HE IS
AWAKE.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

state of misery, a state of negativity, a state of darkness, of utter
loneliness. And heaven is joy, happiness, health, light. But there is a
third word, moksha. Moksha means freedom, freedom from both heaven and
hell, freedom from pain and pleasure -- because pain binds you as much as
pleasure binds you. Pain may be an ugly chain and pleasure may be a
beautiful chain, decorated, maybe made of gold, but it chains you. Hell
may be a poor place and heaven may be a very rich place but poverty and
riches are two aspects of the same coin. One has to be free of both.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

religion, but only a religiousness. It has no dogma, it does not depend on
any founder. It has no past; in fact it has nothing to teach you. It is
the strangest thing that has happened in the whole history of mankind –
strangest because it enjoys in emptiness, it blossoms in nothingness. It
is fulfilled in innocence, in not knowing. It does not discriminate
between the mundane and the sacred. For it, all that is, is sacred.<span><a name='more'></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

unique religion, more than any other religion of the world, is that it
does not want to exclude anything from your life. Your life has to be
inclusive. It has to comprehend all the stars and the sky and the earth.
It is not a path of renouncing the world.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

wrong. It never talks about the saint and the sinner. It is so respectful
of reality that nothing in the whole of history can be compared with this
respectfulness. It is not only respectful to human beings, but to this
cricket, to these cuckoos, to these crows. Wherever life is, the Zen
experience is that it is the same life. There is no categorization; nobody
is lower or higher, but just different forms of the abundance of
existence. It blossoms in many forms, in many colors; it dances in many
ways and in many forms, but hidden within it is the same eternal
principle.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

the simple reason that it does not require any faith. It requires of you
only an intense inquiry into yourself, a deepening of consciousness, not
concentration – a settling, a relaxing of consciousness, so that you can
find your own source. That very source is the source of the whole
existence.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

is anyone who teaches it or not, whether there is anyone who learns it or
not, it is there. Zen is the very heartbeat of existence. It is not
dependent on any teaching, not dependent on any masters, not dependent on
disciples. Masters come and go, disciples come and disappear; Zen remains.
Just as it is. It is always just as it is.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

is concerned. It looks almost absurd. That is one of the reasons why it

have to become so meditative that you don’t need to meditate any more
– meditation becomes your very being. That is what is called â€the old
Zen barrier.†The day your very existence becomes meditative, when you
don’t have to sit down at a certain hour to meditate in a certain way;
the day when whatever you do, you do it meditatively – you sleep in
meditation and you wake up in meditation – you have passed the old Zen
barrier.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

intelligence. To be intellectual is to be phony; it is a pretending
intelligence. It is not real because it is not yours; it is borrowed.
Intelligence is the growth of inner consciousness. It has nothing to do
with knowledge, it has something to do with meditativeness. An intelligent
person does not function out of his past experience; he functions in the
present. He does not react, he responds. Hence he is always unpredictable;
one can never be certain what he is going to do.<span><a name='more'></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

intelligence, infinite intelligence, a radiant intelligence. Meditation
will make you more alive and sensitive; your life will become richer<o:p></o:p></span></li>

mind is a bio-computer. How can it have any intelligence? It has skill,
but it has no intelligence; it has a functional utility, but it has no
awareness. It is a robot; it works well but don`t listen to it too much
because then you will lose your inner intelligence. Then it is as if you
are asking a machine to guide you, lead you. You are asking a machine
which has nothing original in it.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

intelligence. That pure intelligence is originally yours; you are born
with it. Nobody can give you intelligence. Knowledge can be given to you,
not intelligence. Intelligence is your own sharpened being. Through deep
meditation one sharpens one`s being; through meditation one drops borrowed
thoughts, reclaims one`s own being, reclaims one`s originality, redaims
one`s childhood, innocence, freshness. Out of that freshness, when you
act, you act out of understanding. And then the response is total,
here-now; and the response is because of the challenge, not because of the
past.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

belongs to the watching consciousness; memory belongs to the mind. Memory
is one thing -- memory is not intelligence. But the whole of humanity has
been deceived for centuries and told indirectly that the memory is
intelligence. Your schools, your colleges, your universities are not
trying to find your intelligence; they are trying to find out who is
capable of memorizing more. And now we know perfectly well that memory is
a mechanical thing. A computer can have memory, but a computer cannot have
intelligence.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

becoming more and more luminous, your intelligence will be growing to the
last breath of your life. Not only that, even after the last breath your
intelligence will continue to grow -- because you are not going to die,
only your body will be dying. And the body has nothing to do with
intelligence, mind has nothing to do with intelligence. Intelligence is
the quality of your awareness -- more aware, more intelligent. And if you
are totally aware, you are as intelligent as this whole existence is.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

is always an idiot. The really intelligent person has no mind.
Intelligence arises out of no-mind, idiocy out of the mind. Mind is
idiotic, no-mind is wise. No-mind is wisdom, intelligence. Mind depends on
knowledge, on methods, on money, on experience, on this and that. Mind
always needs props, it needs supports, it cannot exist on its own. On its
own, it flops.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

they do not have the intelligence to feel confusion. To feel confusion
needs great intelligence. Only the intelligent ones feel confusion;
otherwise the mediocres go on moving in life, smiling, laughing,
accumulating money, struggling for more power and fame. If you see them
you will feel a little jealous; they look so confident, they even look
happy.</span></li>

ideology -- for what? He will not carry a load of readymade answers. He knows
that he has enough intelligence so that whatever situation arises, he will
be able to respond to it. Why carry an unnecessary load from the past?
What is the point of carrying it?<o:p></o:p></span></li>

that no object can fulfill your desire. No object, I say, and I say it
categorically, no object can ever fulfill your desire. Your desire is
divine. Your desire is as big as the sky -- even the sky is not a limit to
it. No object can fill it. Then what is to be done? The intelligent person
stops desiring objects. He makes his desire pure of all objects --
worldly, otherworldly. He starts living his desire in its purity, moment
to moment. He is full of desire, full of overflowing energy. His ordinary
life becomes so intense, so passionate, that whatsoever he touches will be
transformed. The baser metal will become gold, and the dead tree will come
to bloom again.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

other than yourself, and unless you become yourself you cannot be happy.
Happiness happens only when a rosebush grows roseflowers; when it flowers,
when it has its own individuality. You may be a rosebush and trying to
flower as lotus flower -- that is creating insanity. Erase the mind. And
the way to erase it is not by fight: the way to erase it is just to become
aware.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

disappearance, remember; on the contrary, it is your appearance. As your
person disappears, your personality falls away; your individuality, your
individual arises. To have a personality is hypocrisy. To be an individual
is your birthright.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

man has a destiny of his own. Imitation is crime, it is criminal. If you
try to become a Buddha, you may become an imitation Buddha. You may look
like Buddha, you may walk like Buddha, you may talk like Buddha, but you
will miss. You will miss all that life was ready to deliver to you.
Because Buddha happens only once. It is not in the nature of things to
repeat. God is so creative that He never repeats anything. You cannot find
another human being in the present, in the past, or in the future, who is
going to resemble you exactly. It has never happened. Man is not a
mechanism. He is not like Ford cars on an assembly line; you can produce
millions alike, exactly alike. Man is a soul, is individual. Imitation is
poisonous. Never imitate anybody<o:p></o:p></span></li>

or not; that is not the significant thing. But create something -- a
beautiful song, a little music, a dance, a painting, a garden. And when
the roses blossom... you cannot say that life is a drag with so many roses
blossoming. A beautiful painting... you cannot say life is a drag, because
this painting has been created for the first time in the world and for the
last time. Nobody has done it before, and nobody will do it again; only
you were capable of doing it. Express your uniqueness in whatsoever you
do. Express your individuality.<br />

become a fragrance.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

just to be myself. Condemned, unaccepted, losing respectability --
everything is okay but I cannot pretend anymore to be somebody else`...
This decision and this declaration -- this declaration of freedom, freedom
from the weight of the crowd -- gives birth to your natural being, to your
individuality. Then you don`t need any mask. Then you can be simply
yourself, just as you are. And the moment you can be just as you are, there
is tremendous peace that passeth understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

individuality; he has only a personality. Personality is that which is
given by others to you -- by the parents, by the teachers, by the priest,
by the society -- whatever they have said about you. And you have been
desiring to be respectable, to be respected, so you have been doing things
which are appreciated, and the society goes on rewarding you, respecting
you more and more. This is their method of creating a personality. But
personality is very thin, skin-deep. It is not your nature. The child is
born without a personality, but he is born with a potential individuality.
The potential individuality simply means his uniqueness from anybody else
-- he is different.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

individuality. They think personality is individuality. It is not -- in
fact it is the barrier. You will never attain to individuality if you are
not ready to drop your personality. Here the group therapies, meditations,
work, this communion...all is devised in such a way that it destroys your
personality, the plastic self, and throws you back to your real
individuality. Individuality is born with you, it is your being.
Personality is a social phenomenon, it is given to you. When you are
sitting in a cave in the Himalayas you don`t have any personality, but you
have individuality. Personality can exist only in reference to others. The
more people know you, the more personality you have -- hence the desire to
have name and fame. The more people respect you, the more you enjoy the
personality; it becomes strengthened.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

society depends on imitation. Everybody is telling you how to behave, and
whatsoever they are teaching you is nothing but imitation. Religious
people -- the so-called religious people, the priests, the theologians --
they are also teaching you, `Be like Jesus, be like Buddha, be like
Krishna.` Nobody ever tells you, `Just be yourself` -- nobody. Everybody
is against you, it seems. Nobody allows you to be yourself, nobody gives
you any freedom. You can be in this world, but you must imitate somebody.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

imitation is very easy. To be someone is very difficult. To become someone
is very easy -- all that you need is to be a hypocrite, which is not much
of a problem. Deep down you remain the same, but on the surface you go on
painting yourself according to some image.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

fact that`s what buddhahood means: to be yourself. That is what
christ-consciousness means: just to be yourself. Buddha was not an
imitation of somebody else. Don`t you think there were many many great men
who had preceded him? He must have been told, `Be a Krishna! Be a
Parshvanath! Be an Adinatha!` He must have heard beautiful stories,
mythologies. He must have read the PURANAS, ancient stories about the
great men, Rama, Krishna, Parasuram. He must have heard all that, he must
have received the heritage. But he never tried to be somebody. He wanted
to be himself, he wanted to know who he is. He never became an imitator;
that`s why one day he became awakened.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

you will not be able to become yourself. One thing only is certain -- that
you will not be yourself. And then follows the next thing: you can never

unintelligent. They want to do exactly the things which others are doing.
That destroys their freshness. Do things in your own style; live your life
according to your own light. And even if the same situation arises, be
alert to find a new response. It is only a question of a little alertness,
and once you have started enjoying... and it is really a great joy to
respond to old situations always in a new way, because that newness keeps
you young, keeps you conscious, keeps you non-mechanical, keeps you alive.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

is easier to play the game of imitation than to become authentically true.
Many ideas have been given to you: become like a Buddha, become like
Jesus. become like Krishna -- as if you have to become everybody else
EXCEPT yourself. As if God is only against you. He`s for Krishna, for
Christ, for Mahavir, for Buddha -- only against you. Then why does He
create you? Then He seems simply foolish. Why does He go on creating you?
If He`s interested in Buddha, Hc can create Buddhas. Why you?<o:p></o:p></span></li>

search of them you will never find them anywhere. They are within you,
they are psychological. The mind is heaven, the mind is hell, and the mind
has the capacity to become either. But people go on thinking everything is
somewhere outside. We always go on looking for everything outside because
to be inwards is very difficult. We are outgoing. If somebody says there
is a god, we look at the sky. Somewhere, sitting there, will be the divine
person.<span><a name='more'></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

projection. Fear is within you; it is projected as a hell. Hell is just a
projected image on the screen -- of the fear that is within you, of the
anger, of the jealousy, of all that is poisonous in you, of all that is
evil in you. Heaven is, again, a projected image on the screen -- of all
that is good and beautiful, of all that is blissful within you.</span></li>

something outside you, they are something that belongs to your
interiority. If you are awake, then you are in a totally different
universe; it is as if in your awakening the whole existence becomes
awakened. It takes a new color, a new flavor, a new fragrance. When you
are asleep, the whole existence sleeps with you. It all depends on you.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

desiring heaven and heavenly pleasures. But what are they? -- magnified
forms of the same old desires, in fact more dangerous than the worldly
desires, because with the worldly desires one thing is absolutely certain:
you are bound to get frustrated sooner or later. You will get out of them;
you Cannot remain in them forever. The very nature of them is such that
they promise you, but they never fulfill their promises -- the goods are
never delivered. How long can you remain deceived by them? Even the most
stupid person has glimpses, once in a while, that he is chasing illusions
which cannot be fulfilled by the very nature of existence. The intelligent
one comes to the realization sooner.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

neighbors; only a small fence divides them. You can jump that fence, even
without a gate. You go on jumping from this to that. In the morning you
may be in heaven; by evening you are in hell. This moment heaven, that
moment hell. It is just an attitude, just a state of your mind, just how
you are feeling. Many times, in a single life, you may visit hell, and
many times you may visit heaven. In a single day also...<o:p></o:p></span></li>

something. Have you given something to somebody? That`s why people enjoy
giving gifts so much. It is a sheer delight. When you give something to
somebody -- maybe valueless, may not be of much value -- but just the way,
just the gesture that you give, satisfies tremendously. Just think of a
person whose whole life is a gift! whose every moment is a sharing -- he
lives in heaven. There is no other heaven than that.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

close: with the right hand you can open one, with the left hand you can
open another. With just a change of your mind, your being is transformed
-- from heaven to hell and from hell to heaven. This goes on continuously.
What is the secret? The secret is whenever you are unconscious, whenever
you act unconsciously, without awareness, you are in hell; whenever you
are conscious, whenever you act with full awareness, you are in heaven. If
this awareness becomes so integrated, so consolidated, that you never lose
it, there is no hell for you; if unconsciousness becomes so consolidated,
so integrated, that you never lose it, there is no heaven.Fortunately
unconsciousness can never become so consolidated; a part always remains
conscious.</span></li>

on thinking in terms of having -- possessing heaven or possessing the
pleasures of heaven -- but still they go on thinking in terms of having.
Their heaven is nothing but their projected desire of having everything.
All that they have missed here they would like to have in the after-life.
But it is the same desire.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Best Meditation Quotes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLkYBq3xT2ZAaJR0JQ7pfTbqJVKqr5bCX22BrnFDKV0bmh4qQo5WNVWF33T9ihKE5V0EWYWSoYC85nmojL8WViXfs8_oD5pwGwdNOtp5lGYPOmkAEju5Xi3q3cYildV1gcs-7amyUhy4c/s1600/girl-1721424__340.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="510" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLkYBq3xT2ZAaJR0JQ7pfTbqJVKqr5bCX22BrnFDKV0bmh4qQo5WNVWF33T9ihKE5V0EWYWSoYC85nmojL8WViXfs8_oD5pwGwdNOtp5lGYPOmkAEju5Xi3q3cYildV1gcs-7amyUhy4c/s320/girl-1721424__340.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">To be a criminal needs great unconsciousness. Meditation destroys your unconsciousness, opens the doors of light and suddenly what you were doing in the darkness starts disappearing.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Meditation is just a situation; silence is not going to be the consequence of it. No, meditation is just creating the soil, the surrounding, preparing the ground. The seed is there, it is always there; you need not put in the seed, the seed has always been with you. That seed is Brahma; that seed is atma. – that seed is you. Just create the situation and the seed will become alive. It will sprout and a plant will be born, and you will start growing. Meditation doesn’t lead you to silence; meditation only creates the situation in which the silence happens. And this should be the criterion — that whenever silence happens laughter will come into your life. A vital celebration will happen all around.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Meditation is totally different. When you concentrate you close your mind to everything else. Meditation means just an openness, a relaxed openness. It is not concentration. While listening to me you are listening to the birds singing in the trees too. The wind passing through the trees singing its song — you are open to it too. The aeroplane passing by, or the train — you are open to it too. This is meditation — you are simply open, available, conscious, available, all doors are open.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Ordinarily, the mind is the master and you have to follow it. The mind gives you something to think about and you have to think about it. The mind gives you some dream and you have to dream it. And the mind goes on.... And sometimes even if you say to your mind, "Stop!" it is not going to stop, it is not going to listen to you at all. Because you have cooperated with it so much, and you have given it your energy and identification so much, that the mind doesn't remember your mastery at all. You are just a slave. Meditation means to create a gap so that you can become master, master of your own mind. And mastery means that you are not identified.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The more your meditation goes deep, the less and less you will feel the burden of the mind. The more and more meditation goes deep, the less and less you will be a mind. Thoughts will become rare, and ultimately they cease. That doesn't mean you become unthinking; it only means that your consciousness becomes clear, transparent, without thoughts moving continuously as clouds. Whenever you need to think you can think; but now thought becomes an instrument to you, not an obsession as it is presently. Thoughts are an obsession without meditation.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The more meditation goes deep, the more you will become master of your own thoughts. You will say, "Stop!" and the mind stops. You will say, "Move!" and the mind begins to move. Once this capacity comes to you, you will not fall down again. Unless this is achieved, if you discontinue meditation, soon every result will be washed away.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">As meditation goes deep you will feel less and less desires, more and more contentment with whatsoever you have. There will be less and less desire for that which you don't have, and more and more contentment with whatsoever you have. As meditation goes deeper, a very contented consciousness evolves. Ultimately there is no desire, only contentment.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">When someone is dancing madly in a blissful state, in ecstasy after meditation, he is creating vibrations around him. They may penetrate into anyone. They can become infectious; they do become infectious. This ecstasy can go to others also; this ecstasy can be felt. Others' hearts will be touched by it. And if you can create ripples around you, vibrations, you have served the world, and there is no other way to serve it -- you have served the divine, and there is no other way to serve it.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Meditation needs you in your totality. Nothing less will do. If you withhold something, and just do it halfheartedly, it is better not to do it, because the whole effort is useless. You will be simply tired and nothing will happen. So why unnecessarily tire yourself? If you are half in it you will be tired. And if someone feels tired -- remember this, and find out -- he will be half in it. If you are totally in it, you will be refreshed, not tired. This is the difference. If you are TOTALLY in it -- nothing has been retained, nothing has been withheld; you were in it totally, the doer was not standing outside; the doer has become the doing -- then you will come out of it fresh, fresh like the dew in the morning, fresh like a rose just opening; fresh, full of energy, light, dancing... blessed. And not only blessed, in such a state of mind that you can bless others.</span></li>

love. Christ brings love to the world. He destroys law, the very basis of
it. That was his crime; that's why he was crucified -- because he was
destroying the whole basis of this criminal society; he was destroying the
whole foundation rock of this criminal world, the world of wars, and
violence, and aggression. He gave a totally new foundation stone.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

violence, gross and subtle, you start becoming more and more
compassionate. Not that you cultivate compassion. Just by becoming aware
of your cruelty, violence, ugliness... the very awareness brings new
changes in you. And the energy that was involved in cruelty, in violence,
starts changing. The same energy becomes purified, the same energy becomes
compassion.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

avoid violence. People are hungry, people are starving, dying. When
somebody is hungry he is going to steal. When somebody is dying, what does
he care if he kills somebody else and gets money to survive? -- because
lust for life is the basis of all biological growth. A man can do anything
to survive.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

live animals, with no sensitivity, with no awareness, with no love. It
seems impossible; how can a man who has known love be capable of doing
such things? A man who loves his wife, who loves his children goes on
eating meat? Impossible.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

of violence. if you have a loaded gun in the heart... and that's what the
case is. Mohammedans have been fighting with Hindus. Hindus have been
fighting with Mohammedans; Christians have been killing Mohammedans,
Mohammedans have been killing Christians. Religions have been a calamity
to the world, not a blessing, a curse, not a benediction. More people have
been killed, butchered, murdered, raped, in the name of religion than in
any other name. This is very strange! Prayer is on the lips, and a loaded
gun in the heart. Unless your inner violence disappears, you cannot be
prayerful.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

more you can do things that are evil. When I say a thing is evil, I do not
mean the content of it. I say a thing is evil when it creates
unconsciousness unnecessarily: that is my definition. I do not say
violence is bad because you will kill someone. I say violence is bad
because you cannot be violent without unconsciousness. That
unconsciousness is the evil, because that unconsciousness is the
background, the basis, of all ignorance, of all dreams, of all illusions,
of all the nonsense that we can create. Evil is nothing more than an
unconscious mind.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

whatever the subject they may be studying, so their awareness becomes more
and more clean and clear. And out of that clarity we can create a
beautiful world. Those scientists, if they are also meditators, will not
create atomic bombs to destroy. They may use atomic energy to move trains
so they don't pollute the air. They may use that atomic energy in the
factories so they don't pollute air. Rather than killing man, the same atomic
energy can be a tremendous help to save man and his future.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Their strength is totally of love... Like a rose flower or a dewdrop.
Their strength is very fragile, vulnerable. Their strength is the strength
of life not of death. Their power is not of that which kills; their power
is of that which creates. Their power is not of violence, aggression;
their power is that of compassion.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

arisen out of meditation. There is no other way. Meditation is the mother
of art, music, poetry, dance, sculpture. All that is creative, all that is
life-affirmative, is born out of meditation. All that is life-negative --
hate, anger, jealousy, violence, war -- is born out of the mind. Man has
two possibilities: mind and meditation.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

and the freedom of love. Hate is a bondage. Hate is imprisonment --
imposed by you upon yourself. And hate creates hate, hate provokes hate.
If you hate somebody you are creating hate in that person's heart for
yourself. And the whole world exists in hate, in destructiveness, in
violence, in jealousy, in competitiveness. People are at each other's
throats either in reality, actuality, in action, or at least in their
minds, in their thoughts, everybody is murdering, killing. That's why we
have created a hell out of this beautiful earth -- which could have become
a paradise. Love, and the earth becomes a paradise again. And the immense
beauty of love is that it has no reference. Love comes from you for no
reason at all. It is your outpouring bliss, it is your sharing of your
heart. It is the sharing of the song of your being. And sharing is so
joyful -- hence one shares! Sharing for sharing's sake, for no other
motive.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

war because you will be able to see, with clear eyes, that you are going
to kill people -- people who have done no harm to you personally, people
just like you. They have their children, their wives, their mothers, their
old fathers to take care of -- and you are killing the person just to get
a gold medal. Your gun will slip out of your hand, and that will be an act
of awareness. And you will feel tremendously blissful that it happened;
even if you are being shot your death will be a glory, a peace, an
adventure, a journey into a new world.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

it, it is not surrender, because the doer is there. Surrender is a great

nothing to do with anybody outside you. The basic surrender is a
relaxation, a trust — so don’t be misguided by the word.
Linguistically, surrender means to surrender to somebody, but religiously,
surrender simply means trust, relaxing. It is an attitude rather than an
act: you live through trust.</span></li>

surrender is achieved through intelligence. Only idiots cannot surrender.
To surrender you need great intelligence. To see the point of surrender is
the climax of insight; to see the point that you are not separate from
existence is the highest that intelligence can give to you.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

of life. A God is not needed to surrender to. There are religions which
believe in God, there are religions which don’t believe in God, but all
religions believe in surrender. So surrender is the real God.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

from ego to egolessness. And in a single step the whole journey is
contained. It is not a long journey from you to God, it is a single-step
journey. It is not a gradual phenomenon; it is not that slowly slowly,
gradually you come to the divine. It is a quantum leap! One moment you
were in darkness and the next moment all is light. All that is needed is
to put the ego aside.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

one problems. This ego will not allow you to fall in love and millions of
problems will arise in your life. This ego would like everybody to
surrender to you; this ego will not allow you to surrender to anybody --
and love happens only when you surrender. When you force somebody to
surrender, it is hate, destruction, it is not love.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

has surrendered to God, one has trusted God. And sooner or later one is
bound to come out under the sky. One will remain grateful to the Master
forever because without the window there was no sky, there were only
walls. But one has to go through the Master and go beyond. One should not
cling to the window; the window frame should not become a hindrance.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Love requires that we should surrender, and we don't want to surrender at
all. We would like the OTHER to surrender, we would like the other to be a
slave. But the same is the desire from the other side: man wants the woman
to be a slave; and of course the woman also wants the same, the SAME
desire is there. Their methods of enslaving each other may be different,
but the desire is the same.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

other, they surrender to something unknown that exists between them. They
surrender to love -- call it the 'god of love' -- they both surrender to
the god of love. Hence nobody's ego is fulfilled by your surrender; both
the egos disappear in love.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

nothing. It is in your becoming a disciple that the whole mystery lies. It
is in your surrender of the ego that the whole search comes to an
authentic point. It is in putting your mind aside. That is what sannyas
is: an authentic discipleship. It means putting your mind aside. You have
lived according to your mind up to now. If that is fulfilling, then there
is no need for anybody to become a sannyasin.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

emphasis is on the second: to die as soon as possible, to surrender to
God. Prayer is their way. Prayer means dying, dying and disappearing as a
person, becoming part of the universal, a surrender, a trust in God. The
whole emphasis is on how to surrender your ego, sacrifice your ego, at the
altar of the divine.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

meditate, after each meditation, surrender all that you have earned out of
meditation, surrender it to the universe. If you are blissful, pour it
back into the universe -- don't carry it as a treasure. If you are feeling
very happy, share it immediately -- don't become attached to it, otherwise
your meditation itself will become a new process of the self. And the
ultimate meditation is not a process of self. The ultimate meditation is a
process of getting more and more into un-self, into non-self -- it is a
disappearance of the self.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

anybody who is not deaf can do. Listening is a rare art, one of the last
arts. Listening means not only hearing with the ears but hearing from the
heart, in utter silence, in absolute peace, with no resistance. One has to
be vulnerable to listen, and one has to be in deep love to listen. One has
to be in utter surrender to listen.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

to die into Him, because dying in God is the beginning of a new life; it
is resurrection. Love has to become such an intense flame that it bums you
out, that you are not left behind, that you are consumed in it. If you are
not, the Guest comes.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

rather than being aggressive. One has to learn the art of relaxation
rather than learning the strategies of how to conquer the world and the
reality. Truth is not going to be a conquest, it is going to be a total
surrender. One has to become a host, one has to open up, one has to be
just a receptivity so the wind can come in, the rain can come in, the sun
can come in. And just hidden behind the sun and the rain and the wind one
day comes the Guest. And the Guest does not come from the outside, it
arises within you. God is the Guest. But you have to be a host first, you
have to learn the art of being a host. You have to become a welcome, you
have to become a prayer, you have to become an invitation, and you have to
become a waiting, an infinite waiting. If it takes ages for Him to come
you have to wait, of course with tears in your eyes but with tremendous
trust in the heart.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

learn the way of the feminine, you have to become egoless, you have to
learn the path of surrender. You have to learn how to melt into existence,
how to become one with the rivers and the mountains and the clouds, how to
feel affinity, attunement, at-onement. And then slowly, slowly you become
a host. The day you are a host, the Guest comes.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

frustration, by going deep into frustrations and realizing the fact that
each frustration is an outcome of a certain dream. If you don`t want

take things. If you are desiring too much -- you want to reach too high,
and you cannot -- then there is frustration and failure. But if you are
not desiring anything and you are perfectly happy wherever you are, life
is moment-to-moment victory.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

that desiring is the root cause of frustration. To desire is to create, of
one`s own accord, a shell. Desiring is the world. To be worldly is to
desire and to go on desiring, never becoming aware that each desire comes
to nothing but frustration. Once you become aware of this, then you do not
desire, or your only desire is to know what is.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

frustration. Expectation is the mother of all frustrations; expectation
gone, frustration disappears. And when there is no frustration in your
life, life really becomes a bed of roses. Then God is a constant blessing;
he goes on raining his grace, his beauty on you.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

fulfilled; that is impossible. IT ENDS IN TEARS. Every desire ends in
frustration, because every expectation is the beginning of frustration.
Why does every desire end in frustration? There are only two alternatives:
either you achieve your object of desire or you don`t achieve it, but in
both cases it will end in tears. If you achieve it you will see the utter
futility of it all.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

creates a tension, that creates anxiety, that creates hope. And then
finally hope turns sour, becomes frustration. Each hope leads you into
anguish. Buddha calls it the only impurity. Cut the roots of desire, live
in the moment so totally, pull yourself out of the past and don`t project
yourself into the future. Let this moment be all and all. And your life
will have such a purity, such a crystal-clear consciousness that right now
you cannot imagine.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

always on the top of everything. You are exploited by this ego. And this
never allows you even a glimpse of your real authentic self, and your life

suffering, fighting, frustration, madness, suicide, murder -- all kinds of
crime.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

will get only frustration, and negative emptiness will happen. If you love
for the sheer joy of it, if you meditate for the sheer delight of it and
you don`t have any result in mind -- you are not goal-oriented -- then
there comes an emptiness which is positive. You start feeling full. You
start feeling, for the first time, that you ARE. Being is felt, and that
being is tremendously beautiful, blissful. It is SATCHITANANDA: it is
existence, it is consciousness, it is bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

fools, we go on clinging. If change is the nature of life, then clinging
is stupidity, because your clinging is not going to change the law of
life. Your clinging is only going to make you miserable. Things are bound
to change; whether you cling or not does not matter. If you cling you
become miserable: you cling and they change, you feel frustrated. If you
don`t cling they still change, but then there is no frustration because
you were perfectly aware that they are bound to change. This is how things
are, this is the suchness of life.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

soldier, and the other, that of the sannyasin. Either you can fight with
life or you can relax with life. Either you can try to conquer life or you
can live in a deep let-go. The path of the soldier is the wrong path,
because it is impossible to conquer life -- the part cannot conquer the
whole. Frustration and failure is absolutely certain. You can play around
the idea, but it is not going to succeed; it is doomed to failure. The
soldier tries to conquer the life, and in the end finds he has been
crushed by life, defeated by life, destroyed by life.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

you feel frustrated. If you are not expecting and you get five lakh rupees
you are full of joy, thankfulness, gratitude. Don`t expect, and you see
your whole life becomes a joy. Expect, and your whole life becomes a hell.
Expectation is the cause. If you want to change, never start by the
effect, start by the cause. Frustration is the effect. You can go on
fighting with frustration -- nothing will happen, you will become more and
more frustrated. Start by the cause, always look for the cause. Whenever you
are feeling miserable, go into it and find out where the cause is. and
then it is up to you. If you want to drop the effect then avoid the cause;
then become aware, more and more aware.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

not seriousness. I teach you love and laughter, because to me there is
nothing more sacred than love and laughter, and there is nothing more
prayerful than playfulness. I don't teach you renunciation, as it has been
taught down the ages. I teach you: Rejoice, rejoice, and rejoice again!
Rejoicing should be the essential core of my sannyasins.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></li>

it is laughter, it is joy. So you cannot find anything like the
seriousness of a church-goer, or the long faces of so-called religious
people in the world of the Bauls. They love laughter, they love fun. They
enjoy small things with tremendous respect. Ordinarily, religions are very
long-faced, very sombre, serious, because they have to be -- they are
against life.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

is never religious, cannot be religious. Seriousness is of the ego, part
of the very disease. Laughter is egolessness.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Sincerity is very playful, never serious. It is true, authentic, but never
serious. Sincerity does not have a long face, it is bubbling with joy,
radiating with an inner joyousness.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

is not a saint at all. Impossible. His very seriousness says that he has
not achieved. Once you have some inner experiences of your own you become
very playful, you become very innocent, childlike.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

joke! Look at other people's lives, and you will find jokes and jokes and
jokes. Seriousness is illness; seriousness has nothing spiritual about it.
Spirituality is laughter, spirituality is joy, spirituality is fun.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

something dead without a sense of humor as a foundation to it. God would
not have been able to create the world if he had no sense of humor. God is
not serious at all. Seriousness is a state of disease; humor is health.
Love, laughter, life, they are aspects of the same energy.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

everything seriously. Nothing kills the ego like playfulness, like
laughter. When you start taking life as fun, the ego has to die, it cannot
exist anymore. Ego is illness; it needs an atmosphere of sadness to exist.
Seriousness creates the sadness in you. Sadness is a necessary soil for
the ego. Hence your saints are so serious, for the simple reason that they
are the most egoistic people on the earth. They may be trying to be
humble, but they are very proud of their humbleness. They take their
humbleness very seriously.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

You cannot just jump out of your seriousness which you have accumulated
for lives. Now it has a force of its own. It is not a simple matter to
relax; it is one of the most complex phenomena possible, because all that
we are taught is tension, anxiety, anguish. Seriousness is the very core
the society is built around. Playfulness is for small children, not for
grown-up people. And I am teaching you to be children again, to be playful
again. It is a quantum leap, a jump...but it takes time to understand.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

always be remembered. If you see someone who has no sense of humour, know
well that that man has not known at all. If you come across a serious man,
then you can be certain that he is a pretender. Knowing brings sincerity
but all seriousness disappears. Knowing brings a playfulness; knowing
brings a sense of humour. The sense of humour is a must.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

very humble. Learn to laugh at yourself -- about your seriousness and
things like that. You can get serious about seriousness. Then instead of
one, you have created two diseases. Then you can get serious about that
also, and you can go on and on. There is no end to it; it can go on AD
NAUSEAM.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists. But to understand
that presence, you have to understand your own inner presence first,
because it is from there that you can take off, it is from there that you
can have the first glimpse of what godliness is. If you have not known
yourself you will never know God.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

would like to say love is God. When you say God is love, love is only one
of the qualities of God; he may have other qualities: wisdom, justice,
etcetera. To me, love is God; godliness is only one of the qualities of
love. There is no other God than the fragrance of love. But the fragrance
can arise only in deep meditation.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

can live in a godly way but you cannot worship God -- there is nobody to
worship. All your worship is sheer stupidity, all your images of God are
your own creation. There is no God as such, but there is godliness,
certainly -- in the flowers, in the birds, in the stars, in the eyes of
the people, when a song arises in the heart and poetry surrounds you...
all this is God. Let us say `godliness` rather than using the word `God`
-- that word gives you the idea of a person, and God is not a person but a
presence.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

godliness -- and godliness has to be found first within yourself. Unless
you have a taste of it in your own being you will not be able to see it
anywhere else. Once you have tasted it, once you have become drunk on the
divine, then you will see it in the trees -- in the green of the trees, in
the red of the trees, in the gold of the trees. You will see it in the
sun, in the moon, in the stars. You will be able to see it in the animals,
birds, people, rivers, mountains. The whole existence will reflect your
understanding, will become a mirror to you. You will be able to see your
own face everywhere. We can see only that which we are, we cannot see that
which we are not.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

of godliness. And when you will come to know, you will not see a god
standing before you, you will see the trees as divine, the rocks as

ego. Put the burden aside and you are absolutely free. He does not talk
about God; he only talks about the burden, the ego. Put it aside and you
will know what God is. There is no need to talk about God; talking about
God is utterly futile. He emphatically avoids talking about God; it is
useless. He gives you the right way to experience godliness. You are gods.
Just the seed has to die, the self has to die, and you will start growing.
That growth is divine. Religion is the process of inner growth, the
process of actualizing the potential, the process of being reborn. Unless
you are born again you cannot enter into the kingdom of God.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

feeling that this whole existence is nothing but the manifestation of
godliness, that we are traveling on holy earth, that whomever you are
meeting, you are meeting God -- there is no other way; only faces are
different, but the inner reality is the same -- all your tensions will
disappear. And the energy that is involved in tensions will start becoming
your grace, your beauty.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

can meditate without God. Buddha meditated without God; he had no belief
in God. Mahavira meditated and became enlightened without any idea of God.
God is not a necessity, God can be disposed of! But when Buddha attained
to meditation he became a god. Mahavira became a god himself. That`s how
it happens: you meditate and YOU will become a god, you will discover
godliness in your own being. And that is the beginning of discovery. Then
you start discovering it in others. Then slowly slowly, the whole
existence is full of God, overflooded with God.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

And naturally he will always find it difficult to explain it to people.
That's why Sufis don't believe in explanations. If you go to a Sufi he
starts giving you methods, not doctrines. That's why they are called the
people of the path. They give you a method. They say, heart, opens your
being, you will know. ' They will not give you a single doctrine, a single
principle -- they have none. They have only methodology. It is very
scientific. They give you the taste. It is hard, arduous work.</span></li>

Sufi Master does not philosophise about reality, he exposes his heart to
the disciple. Even if he sometimes uses words, those words are only
indicators -- just like arrows being used on milestones -- just indicators
that you have to go on and on. As the disciple becomes more and more
attuned with the Master then less and less words are needed. Then the
presence of the master is enough.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

one who is not concerned with words at all. A Sufi is one who is not
interested in scriptures at all. A Sufi is one who is interested in going
into existence itself. He does not want to bother about the word
"beauty", he wants to experience beauty itself. He is not

paradise. They think of God as the Beloved. They talk about wine; wine is
their symbol. They talk about drunkenness; they are drunkards, drunkards
of the divine. They abandon themselves in dance and song. They feast, they

dancing. But he is not dancing, because there is no dancer. It is pure
dance. God has taken possession of him. The Sufi is drunk, intoxicated.
His state is that of non-being. He is anchorless. The waves of the ocean
toss and turn. First his inner being is stirred, great joy arises there;
and then it starts spreading towards his body.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

have learned all that Sufis can teach you. Gurdjieff introduced Sufi
essentials into the West. He was the man who brought to the West the
secrets of the Sufis. His whole teaching depends on one word, and that is
nonidentification. Don't get identified with anything because
consciousness is always transcendental. It cannot be reduced to anything.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

shoemaking, carpentry, or anything whatsoever, but with their hands. Hand
and head are the two poles, and if your energy is moving through the
hands, the head by and by subsides. And if for years, twelve years -- such
a long time! -- you are simply working with the hands, you completely
forget the head. There is no need of it. The head becomes nonfunctioning,
and that is what is needed for a disciple: the head must be in a
nonfunctioning state. Thinking should stop. The mind should become like a
no-mind. Not filled with thoughts, dreams, ideas. Completely empty.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

with the individual. It does not believe in the individual; it is against
the individual. It tries in every possible way to destroy you for its own
purposes. It needs clerks, it needs stationmasters, deputy-collectors,
policemen, magistrates, it needs soldiers. It does not need human beings.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

cultures, have taken it for granted that the individuals exist for them,
not vice-versa. To me, just the opposite is the case: the society exists
for the individual, the culture exists for the individual, the nation
exists for the individual. Everything can be sacrificed, but the
individual cannot be sacrificed for anything. Individuality is the very
flowering of existence -- nothing is higher than it. But no culture, no
society, no civilization is ready to accept a simple truth.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

the society wants you to have personalities which are comfortable for the
society, convenient for the society. But the person is not the real thing,
the individual is the real thing. The individual is not necessarily always
comfortable to the society -- in fact he is very inconvenient.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

condition the mind -- and conditioning means nothing but hypnosis: forcing
authority, law, tradition, religion, scripture, the priest, the church,
into the innermost unconscious of the child so that from there you can
control him.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

only one thing down the centuries, "Have your own mind and have your
own individuality. Don't be a part of the crowd; don't be a wheel in the
whole mechanism of a vast society. Be individual, on your own. Live life
with your own eyes; listen to music with your own ears." But we are
not doing anything with our own ears, with our own eyes, with our own
minds; everything is being taught, and we are following it.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

society, because the society has no soul. The society is soulless. And if
you become too much a part of the society, it will reduce your soul also
to a non-entity. Beware, before you have lost your whole opportunity.
Don't be a slave. Follow society to the point you feel is needed, but
always remain master of your own destiny.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

valuable is consciousness -- not conscience but consciousness. Conscience
is created by the society. The more foolish you are, the more the society
is able to create a conscience in you. It gives you an idea how to live
your life. It manipulates you in a very subtle way. It hypnotizes you and
conditions you. And the conditioning is so long that you forget completely
that these are not your ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

of the individual. One individual outweighs all societies. And, one
individual's revolution outweighs all revolutions in the whole of history,
because one man can become the womb for God to be reborn.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

less you are an individual, the less and less you are spontaneous --
because the very membership in the society will not allow you to be
spontaneous. You will have to follow the rules of the game. If you enter a
society, you accept to follow those rules that the society is playing, or
has decided to play.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

first step -- LOVE YOURSELF -- will help you tremendously. By loving
yourself you will have destroyed much that society has implanted within
you. You will have become freer from the society and its conditioning.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

anything divine. He remains part of the stupid collectivity. Remember, the
society, the collective has no soul; the soul belongs to the individual.
Hence, those who belong to the collective are destroying every possibility
of being souls.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Meditation is the process of undoing the harm that every society goes on
doing to every individual -- communist or Catholic, Jaina or Jew, it does
not matter. I am not talking about any particular conditioning that is
wrong; I am saying conditioning AS SUCH is wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

institutions and lives spontaneously. To be a sannyasin is the most
courageous act possible. To be a sannyasin means to live without the mind,
and the moment you live without mind you live without society. The mind
has created society, and society has created the mind; they are
interdependent. To be a sannyasin means to renounce all that is false but
not to renounce the world, to renounce all that is unauthentic, to
renounce all the answers, to be responsive, spontaneously responsive, and
not to think about the reasons, but to be real.</span></li>

is how you behave with others; love is how you behave with yourself. Love
is an inner flowering; law is an outward performance. Because you live

suffering, but that life is not possible if you continuously carry the ego
with you. You cannot make a life around you so that suffering disappears.
If you carry the ego, again and again you will bump into some reality
which will hurt the unreal. Whenever there is an encounter between reality
and unreality, the unreal causes suffering.<span><a name='more'></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

you change the quality of suffering itself. Each suffering should be
welcomed through celebration; then the suffering is no more suffering.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

intelligence, your consciousness. Ordinarily what we are doing is using
every opportunity to create a hell for ourselves. Only you suffer, and
because of your suffering, you make others suffer. And when so many people
are living together, and if they all create suffering for each other, it
goes on multiplying. That's how the whole world has become a hell. It can
be instantly changed. Just the basic thing has to be understood, that
without intelligence there is no heaven.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

suffering in totality, in great intensity, you will be surprised: Saul
becomes Paul. You will not be able to believe it when it happens for the
first time, that your own suffering absorbed willingly, welcomingly,
becomes a great blessing. The same energy that becomes hate becomes love,
the same energy that becomes pain becomes pleasure, the same energy that
becomes suffering becomes bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

then you will have to understand -- you don't have a self. Then it will be
not just a small relief but a tremendous relief. And if you don't have a
self, the need for the other disappears. It was the need of the unreal
self to go on being nourished by the other. You don't need the other. And
listen carefully: when you don't need the other, you can love. And that
love will not bring misery. Going beyond needs, demands, desires, love
becomes a very soft sharing, a great understanding. When you understand
yourself, that very day you have understood the whole of humanity. Then
nobody can make you miserable. You know that they are suffering from an
unreal self, and they are throwing their misery on anybody who is close
by. Your love will make you capable of helping the person you love to get
rid of the self.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

because he becomes very sensitive. But suffering is not bad. If you
understand it rightly, suffering is a cleansing. If you understand it
rightly, sadness has a depth to it which no happiness can ever have. A
person who is simply happy is always superficial. A person who has not
known sorrow and has not known sadness, has not known the depths. He has
not touched the bottom of his being; he has remained just on the
periphery. One has to move within these two banks. Within these two banks
flows the river.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

you want to discard it, you want to get rid of it, it is so painful. But
if you are a witness then suffering loses all thorns, all stings. Then
there is suffering, and you are a witness to it. You are just a mirror; it
has nothing to do with you. Happiness comes and goes, unhappiness comes
and goes, it is a passing show; you are just there, a mirror reflecting
it. Life comes and goes, death comes and goes; the mirror is not affected
by either. The mirror reflects but remains unaffected; the mirror is not imprinted
by either.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

growth; nothing is bad in it. Suffering becomes evil only when it is
simply destructive and not creative at all; suffering becomes bad only
when you suffer and nothing is gained out of it. But I am telling you the
divine can be gained through suffering; then it becomes creative. Darkness
is beautiful if the dawn is coming out of it soon; darkness is dangerous
if it is endless, leads to no dawn, simply continues and continues and you
go on moving in a rut, in a vicious circle. This is what is happening to
you. Just to escape from one suffering you create another; then to escape
from another, another. And this goes on and on and all those sufferings
which you have not lived are waiting for you. You have escaped but you
escape from one suffering to another, because a mind which was creating a
suffering will create another. So you can escape from this suffering to
that, but suffering will be there because your mind is the creative force.
Accept the suffering and pass through it; don't escape. This is a totally
different dimension to work in. Suffering is there: encounter it, go
through it. Fear will be there, accept it. You will tremble, so tremble.
Why create a facade that you don't tremble, that you are not afraid? If
you are a coward, accept it.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

smoking will automatically be there. That's why the West smokes more than
the East -- because no mother is ready to give her breast to the child
because the shape is lost. So in the West smoking is increasing more and
more; even small children are smoking.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

that it is because the breast has been taken away. In all primitive
communities a seven-year-old child, or even an eight or nine-year-old
child, will continue breast-feeding. Then there is a satisfaction and
smoking will not be so necessary. That's why in primitive communities men
are not so much interested in women's breasts; there is no problem that
somebody will attack them. Nobody looks at the breasts.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

dropped. You can drop smoking by fighting, and then you will start doing
something else which will become a substitute. You may start chewing gum,
it is the same; You may start chewing pan, it is the same, there is no
difference. You need something to do with your mouth -- smoking, chewing,
anything. When your mouth goes on working, you feel at ease because
through the mouth tensions are released. So whenever a man feels tense he
starts smoking.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

related things, implications. You are tense, and if you stop smoking you
will start something else and the other may be more harmful. Don't go on
escaping problems, face them. The problem is that you are tense, so the
goal should be how to be non-tense, not, smoking or not smoking. Meditate.
Relax your tensions without any object into the sky, allow catharsis to
happen. When you are non-tense these things will become absurd, foolish,
and they will drop. Food will change, your styles of living will change.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

interested in your habit. Any habit that becomes a force, a dominating

becomes a sin only if you are doing it unconsciously -- it is not smoking
that makes it a sin but unconsciousness. Let me emphasize the fact. You
can do your prayer every day unconsciously; then your prayer is a sin. You
can become addicted to your prayer. If you miss the prayer one day, the
whole day you will feel something is wrong, something is missing, some gap.
It is the same with smoking or with drinking; there is no difference in
it. Your prayer has become a mechanical habit; it has become a master over
you. It bosses you; you are just a servant, a slave to it. If you don't do
it, it forces you to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

again you have failed -- not because smoking is such a great phenomenon
that you cannot get out of it, but because you are trying from the wrong
end. Rather than becoming aware of the whole situation -- why you smoke in
the first place -- rather than becoming aware of the process of smoking,
you are simply trying to drop it. It is like pruning the leaves of a tree
without cutting the roots.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

chain-smoking is not possible; chain-smoking is a by-product. You must be
so concerned about a thousand and one disturbances inside, you must be
carrying such a big load of worries on your heart, on your chest, that you
don't even know how to forget them. You don't know how to drop them --
smoking at least helps you to forget about them.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

never feels nervous, in anxiety, in tension. Smoking helps -- on a
momentary basis -- to forget about your anxieties, your tensions, your
nervousness. Other things can do the same -- chewing gum can do the same,
but smoking does 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.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

smoking here in the ashram. But you have to go very alert, aware,
meditative! If you can smoke meditatively, it is perfectly beautiful. If
it stops by being meditative, that too is perfectly beautiful. Life is
sacred.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

First they laughed when I suggested to them... they could not believe that
such a simple solution could help them. I said to them, "Don't try to
stop smoking, but rather bring a milk bottle that is used for small
children. And in the night when nobody can see you, under your blanket
enjoy the milk, the warm milk. It is not going to do any harm at
least." They said, "But how is it going to help?" I said,
"You forget about it -- how and why -- you just do it. It will give
you good food before you go to sleep, and there is no harm. And my feeling
is that the next day you will not feel so much need for cigarettes. So you
count." And they were surprised... slowly, slowly the cigarettes were
disappearing, because their basic need which had remained hanging in the
middle was fulfilled: they are no more children, they are maturing, and
the cigarette disappears.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Sincerity is something else, seriousness is something else. If you are serious you are thinking in terms of goals, means and ends, ways and achievement; you are ambitious. Seriousness is ambition and it is a disease. You may have turned your attention from this world, but your ambitious mind is now thinking about the other. Seriousness is not religious. A serious man will automatically become a philosophic man; he will start thinking. Seriousness is of the head. That's why a serious person, a thinker, becomes a long face. He cannot even laugh, he cannot smile, he cannot play, because always he is thinking: "What is to be achieved through it?"<span><a name='more'></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease. Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness. It will bring lightness to you, and it will give you wings to fly. And life is so full of opportunities. You just need the sensitivity. And create chances for other people to laugh. Laughter should be one of the most valued, cherished qualities of human beings -- because only man can laugh, no animals are capable of it. Because it is human, it must be of the highest order. To repress it is to destroy a human quality.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Because of that seriousness, millions of people have remained aloof from religion. Those who were alive could not become religious because religion meant a kind of suicide to them -- and it was so. Those who were already dead or dying, those who were ill, pathological, suicidal, only they were interested in the old religions. The old religions were not dancing, singing, celebrating; they were anti-life, anti-earth, anti-body. They were purely negative; they had nothing to affirm. Their God was based on negativity. Go on negating: the more you negate life, the more religious you were thought to be. I am bringing a totally new vision of religion to the earth: I am introducing you to a religion that can laugh, a religion that can love, a religion that can live the ordinary life with extraordinary awareness.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

And this should be the criterion -- that whenever silence happens laughter will come into your life. A vital celebration will happen all around. You will not become sad, you will not become depressed, you will not escape from the world. You will be here in this world, but taking the whole thing as a game, enjoying the whole thing as a beautiful game, a big drama, no longer serious about it. Seriousness is a disease.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.5in;">

And laughter contains love, laughter contains joy and laughter contains gratitude. Laughter contains a tremendous thankfulness towards God. When you are really in deep belly laughter, your ego disappears. It happens very rarely in any other activity, but in laughter it is bound to happen. If the laughter is total the ego cannot exist; nothing kills the ego like laughter. That's why all egoists are serious. Ego can exist only in seriousness; ego lives, feeds on seriousness. And serious people are dangerous people. We have to destroy all kinds of seriousness in the world. Temples should be full of laughter and song and dance and celebration. That's how trees are, stars are, rivers are, oceans are. The whole existence, except man, is in a nonserious state; only man seems to be very serious. No child is born serious, remember, but we destroy the innocence of the child. We destroy his qualities of wonder and awe, we destroy his laughter, we destroy everything that is beautiful and valuable, and instead we give him a load to carry on his head -- of knowledge, of theology, of philosophy. The more and more he becomes educated by us, the more and more he loses all sense of humor. He can't see any humor in existence because he starts living through his knowledge; he knows everything. Because of his knowledgeability all wonder is destroyed. Because of his knowledgeability, the greatest religious quality -- awe -- is killed.</span></li>

If understanding is there, there is no question of imitating or of following: you will follow understanding. Keep this very clear: if you follow your understanding, you will be following me. By and by you will see that your path and my path are running parallel. By and by you will see that you are following me if you follow your understanding. If you follow me and forget your understanding sooner or later you will see that I am gone and you are left in darkness. The real way to follow me is not to follow me but to follow your understanding -- then even when I am gone you will be following me. It looks paradoxical but Zen is paradoxical.<span><a name='more'></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

It insists on imitation: imitate Buddha, imitate Christ, imitate Mahavir, but imitate. Imitate somebody. Don`t be yourself, be somebody else. And if you are very stubborn you can force yourself to be somebody else. You will never be somebody else. Deep down you cannot be. You will remain yourself, but you can force so much that you almost start looking like somebody else.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Imitation is crime, it is criminal. If you try to become a Buddha, you may become an imitation Buddha. You may look like Buddha, you may walk like Buddha, you may talk like Buddha, but you will miss. You will miss all that life was ready to deliver to you. Because Buddha happens only once. It is not in the nature of things to repeat. God is so creative that He never repeats anything. You cannot find another human being in the present, in the past, or in the future, who is going to resemble you exactly. It has never happened. Man is not a mechanism. He is not like Ford cars on an assembly line; you can produce millions alike, exactly alike. Man is a soul, is individual. Imitation is poisonous. Never imitate anybody, otherwise you will be a victim of the first sort of religion, which is not religion at all.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

Who is bothered about his original face -- and what is one going to do with the original face? But the only people who have known anything worthwhile, who have lived in the authentic sense of living, are the people who have searched for their original face. Certainly you have to get out of this rut of jealousy, competition, imitation, otherwise they won`t leave you any time. Somebody is doing something, somebody else is doing something else, and your whole business is to imitate everybody -- they have better clothes, somebody has a better house, somebody has a better garden. People say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and it is true; it looks greener.</span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "" serif "" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Once you are
afraid of death you are bound to be afraid of life. That`s why I am
talking about this Hasidic approach. The whole approach consists of
methods, ways and means of how to die -- the art of dying is the art of
living also. Dying as an ego is being born as a non `ego; dying as a part
is being born as a whole; dying as man is a basic step towards being born
as a God.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "" serif "" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Start dying each
moment to the past. Clean yourself of the past each moment. Die to the
known so that you become available to the unknown. With dying and being
reborn each moment you will be able to live life and you will be able to
live death also. And that`s what spirituality is really all about: to live
death intensely, to live life intensely; to live both so passionately that
nothing is left behind unlived, not even death. If you live life and death
totally, you transcend. In that tremendous passion and intensity of life
and death, you transcend duality, you transcend the dichotomy, you come to
the One. That One is really the truth. You can call it God, you can call
it life, you can call it truth, samadhi, ecstasy, or whatsoever you choose.</span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "" serif "" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Death is an
organic, integral part of life, and it is very friendly to life. Without
it life cannot exist. Life exists because of death; death gives the
background. Death is, in fact, a process of renewal. And death happens
each moment. The moment you breathe in and the moment you breathe out,
both happen. Breathing in, life happens; breathing out, death happens.
That`s why when a child is born the first thing he does is breathe in,
then life starts. And when an old man is dying, the last thing he does is
breathe out, then life departs. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>

Breathing out is death, breathing in is life -- they are like two wheels
of a bullock cart. You live by breathing in as much as you live by
breathing out. The breathing out is part of breathing in. You cannot
breathe in if you stop breathing out. You cannot live if you stop dying.
The man who has understood what his life is allows death to happen; he
welcomes it. He dies each moment and each moment he is resurrected. His
cross and his resurrection are continually happening as a process. He dies
to the past each moment and he is born again and again into the future.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
