... through seeing it, it drops. Not that you have to drop... Remember this: if you drop, you will always drop for some other desire. You can drop, but then immediately your mind will say, "Why you are dropping this?" It will ask for another desire to be replaced. Many times it has happened: People come here to meditate, to attain peace of mind, and they don't know that the very idea of attaining...
...;Okay. If we are not impatient, if we forget time, how long it will take to attain?" Do you see the contradiction? They are again in the same rut; from the back door... Now such a person cannot meditate because constantly he will be thinking, "When it is going to happen? When? One hour has passed and it has not happened yet. Two clays have passed and it has not happened yet. Seven days have...
... was enough, because the East came to know that if even one man becomes enlightened, his energy is shared by all; if even one man comes to flower in meditation, his fragrance becomes part of the whole society. And the gain is so tremendous that the East has never said, 'Don't sit there and meditate. Who is going to feed you? Who is going to clothe you? And who is going to give you shelter?' Thousands...
... school rooms. Great Masters are disappearing. They are forced to work in the fields or in the factories. Nobody is allowed to meditate because a great understanding is lost. The whole mind is full of materialism, as if matter is all that exists. If a man in a town becomes enlightened, the whole town is benefited. It is not a wastage to support him. For nothing you are going to get such tremendous...
... cannot do. Now, rats don't meditate, rats don't become enlightened. And his conception of man is only a magnified form of a rat. And still I say that he is right about the greater majority of people; his conclusions are not wrong. And buddhas will agree with him about the so-called normal humanity: the normal humanity is utterly asleep. Even animals are not so asleep. Have you seen a deer in the jungle...
... cured, because nobody is really incurable. But time will be needed, perseverance will be needed. Buddha says: WITH GREAT PERSEVERANCE HE MEDITATES, SEEKING FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS. Meditate - meditation means watchfulness - and you will attain to freedom and bliss. SO AWAKE, REFLECT, WATCH. WORK WITH CARE AND ATTENTION. LIVE IN THE WAY AND THE LIGHT WILL GROW IN YOU. The light grows of its own accord...
... HIS ARROWS, SO THE MASTER DIRECTS HIS STRAYING THOUGHTS. Now meditate: are your thoughts directing you, or do you direct your thoughts? - because much depends on that insight. Are you being dominated by your thoughts? Do they go on driving you hither and thither? Do they suggest to you, do they fascinate you, do they obsess you? Do they pull your strings and are you simply a slave? Or are you the...
... master, and can you say to your thoughts "Stop!" and they have to stop - can you put them on or off? People never meditate over it because it makes them feel very humiliated. It shows them their impotence: they cannot even stop thoughts, their own thoughts. There is a famous Tibetan parable: A man served a master for many many years. The service was not pure; there was a motivation in it. He...
... it or leave it, but it is simply here. And when it is here, why not take it? Why waste your time in philosophizing? Why not dance and sing and love and meditate? Why not go deeper and deeper into this thing called "life"? Maybe at the ultimate core you will know the answer. But the answer comes in such a way that it cannot be expressed. It is like the dumb man's taste of sugar. It is...
..., will never be able to ask a single question. So I insist, Maulingaputta, if you really want to ask, ASK NOW!" But Buddha said, "My conditions have to be fulfilled." And, Patrick, the same is my answer to you: fulfill my condition - meditate, sit silently, just be here, and all questions will disappear. I am not interested in answering you, I am interested in dissolving your questions...
... that which is. HOW CAN A TROUBLED MIND UNDERSTAND THE WAY? So whenever a person would come to Buddha and inquire - great questions about life and life's mysteries - Buddha would say, "You wait, you meditate. First let your troubled mind become untroubled. Let this storm of your mind go past. Let silence come, because silence will give you the eyes. I can show you the way to be silent, and then...
..., this Jaina monk, an ordinary person, stupid, is ready to judge Jesus, Ramakrishna, Mohammed. He knows nothing, understands nothing, has never meditated - has not known himself yet. That's why he had come to me. He had come to me to understand what meditation is and how to meditate. Meditation has not happened yet, but judgment is there - and he is ready to judge even a man like Jesus, is not even...
... day I was reading about an experiment. Sarjano, meditate over it. A certain naturalist made the following experiment: a glass jar was divided into two halves by a perfectly transparent glass partition. On one side of the partition he placed a pike; on the other a number of small fishes such as form the prey of the pike. The pike did not notice the partition, and hurled itself on its prey with, of...
... sex, but you can use your sex energy, your money power, in such an artful way that you can create a space in which the beyond can descend. I am not against sex, and I am not against money, remember it. Always remember! But I am certainly for helping you go beyond them - I am certainly for going beyond. Use everything as a step. Don't deny anything. If you have money, you can meditate more easily...
... gravitation, we are living as prisoners. We cannot go against the wind - our life is gross. Buddha says: Be aware of it: what are you doing with your life? Reconsider, meditate over it, what you have made of yourself. BUT THE FRAGRANCE OF VIRTUE TRAVELS EVEN AGAINST THE WIND, AS FAR AS THE ENDS OF THE WORLD. Buddha says: But there is a flowering of your inner being, which is far more beautiful than...
... poor river Niranjana, how am I going to cross this huge ocean of the world? The body needs food, the body needs nourishment, the body needs strength, so that I can meditate, so that I can contemplate, so that I can inquire, with zest, enthusiasm, energy." He decided to drop all austerities. His five disciples immediately left him. They said, "Gautam has fallen from his holy state, he is no...
... you watch people meditating? Either you can meditate or not, but you cannot watch people meditating. Yes, you can watch people's physical gestures, movements, dance, or their sitting silently under a tree, but you cannot SEE meditation! You can see the physical posture of the meditator, but you cannot see his inner experience. For that, you have to meditate, you have to become a participant. And the...
... misery is real and what you are getting in the bargain is false. Of course, if you become happy, if you drop your miseries, it will be a radical change in your life-style; things may start changing. Once a woman came to me, the woman of one of the richest men in India, and she told me, "I want to meditate, but my husband is against it." I asked her, "Why is your husband against...
.... You will be more joyous, and your husband will have to learn to live with a new woman. He may not like you that way, he may start feeling inferior. Right now he is superior to you." That's why down the ages man has not allowed women to meditate, to participate in deep religious experiences. Man has not allowed women to read the Vedas, the Upanishads, the great scriptures of the world. In many...
