... understand Meera's misery. But she has to face it and understand it. It is not only a question of the death of the husband. That is not such a big problem. Husbands die, wives die; that is not a big problem, that is natural. The problem is that love could not happen. It remained a dream, a desire, and now it is going to remain unfulfilled. You cannot find that man again, so that chapter cannot be completed...
... - hours will pass, and it will look as if only minutes have passed. Time goes very, very fast when you are happy. When you are unhappy - somebody has died, somebody you loved, death has happened - then time goes very, very, very slowly. Just the other night Meera came. Her husband died a few months before. She had come to see me after the death, and I had told her don't be worried, the wound will heal...
... will remain a certain sadness around it forever. Anything incomplete is very difficult to drop. Complete things ripen and fall on their own accord. When a fruit is ripe it falls. Of course the tree feels for a few seconds something is missing, and then it forgets. Finished, because ripe fruits have to fall. Everybody has to die. You loved while the man was alive - and you loved tremendously and...
......." It transcends all dualities, polarities of is and process, of static and dynamic, of wave and particle, of life and death, of past and future - all dualities, all polarities. It is transcendent. "TARAKAM SARVAVISHAYAM" - it transcends all the objects of knowledge. "... includes the cognition of all objects simultaneously...." And for this consciousness is used the word "...
... woman and you have fallen in love and your children are born and you have become old and you are dying and people are going in a funeral procession - all simultaneously. The whole will appear in total. Difficult to comprehend, because how is it possible? A child is being born. How can he die right this moment? He is either a child or young or old, either in the womb or in the coffin, either in the...
... be made nothing, Dipped into oblivion? If not, you will never really change. The phoenix renews her youth Only when she is burnt, burnt alive, Burnt down to hot and flocculent ash. The myth, the beautiful myth of the phoenix, the bird who becomes alive only through death, who renews itself by burning itself, utterly burning itself, whose death becomes resurrection... The myth of the phoenix bird is...
... the myth of all the awakened people. Jesus is another representation of the same myth: crucifixion and resurrection. Bayazid says, "I am gone, I am no more." This is death. But out of this death something deathless arrives, is found. But people are cunning: they would like to have God also. Just as they have a good bank balance, they would like God also to be in their fist. They would like...
... will you recognize the fact, when you are awake, that all that was just dreaming. You had never left you bed, you were always here. That is the situation: nobody has lost God, nobody can. It is impossible. God is your very being, how can we lose him? And if we can lose him we will immediately die, because he is our life. If we lose him then there is no possibility of finding him; so the question is...
... no more trembling, he is not afraid of the world. There is nothing to fear. Even death will not make him afraid, because now he has seen something deathless in himself, he has tasted something of the nectar. Smoking will disappear. That's why I don't tell you to do this and to do that. My whole approach is: meditate, and then things will change on their own accord. The meditator, if he really goes...
...;Let there be light," and there was light, now let him say, "Let there be darkness," so there will be darkness. "Let there be death." He can simply finish the whole nonsense in a single stroke - if he is against it. If a poet is against his poetry, he will not write it. If a painter is against his painting, he will burn it. If a musician is against his music, he will throw...
... you have destroyed that possibility. And if you could not get through that beautiful man and his help, it is useless to waste my time. "THEREFORE YOU MUST NOT ASK ME TO ACCEPT YOU AS A DISCIPLE." To be accepted as a disciple needs surrender. One needs to die into the Master, only then does one become a disciple. Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... BACK TO BABA'S METHODS. I'M CONFUSED - CAN YOU HELP? Bernadette Brown, only a disciple can be helped. And the disciple has to become involved, committed. Without commitment there is no possibility of any help. A tree has to be rooted in the soil, only then can it grow. If it starts talking about not getting attached to the earth, it will die. Why are you afraid of getting attached to a new master? Do...
... LONGING IN MAN TO DIE AS AN EGO, TO DISAPPEAR, TO DISSOLVE - AND HOW IS THIS LONGING DIFFERENT FROM FREUD'S THANATOS, FROM LIFE-NEGATION? Sona, in reality, there is no ego to disappear. Disappearance is possible only if the ego is real. If the ego really exists, only then is disappearance possible. Then what is meant when it is said, "Let the ego disappear?" All that is meant is this? "...
... there. It disappears like a dream disappears when you wake up in the morning. You can wake up, that's all; the ego cannot be dissolved. And the whole effort is absurd, because in dissolving it you have accepted its existence - and the whole fault lies there. Sona, you ask: IS THERE NOT SOMETHING LIKE A DEEP INBUILT LONGING IN MAN TO DIE AS AN EGO? No, there is none, because the ego is not there. Yes...
..., there is a deep inbuilt longing in man to know, "Who am I?" - that is there, but not to die as an ego. There is a great urge in man to know, "Who am I?" It persists, it permeates your whole life. Even small children start asking, "Who am I?" The question is something very fundamental. It is an inbuilt phenomenon, the inquiry into one's own being. And when you inquire...
... life, that is EROS. But when this lust for life gets frustrated again and again, it is replaced by its antagonist, by its diametrical opposite. Just as love can become sour and can turn into hate, the lust for life can become a lust for death. You will be surprised to know that in poor countries very few people commit suicide. Logically it should be just otherwise: poor people should commit suicide...
... there is nothing in it. The poor man still hopes: he hopes for tomorrow, he still hopes for life. The rich man knows everything about life; he has seen it, he has lived it. He has looked all around, he has searched everywhere, and it has not been found. In tremendous frustration, the EROS, the life-instinct, turns suicidal. The rich man wants to die, because there is no point in living, because there...
... meaning of life, and turning East. And people in the East are turning West, because they want more technology, better houses, better food, better roads, better cars; they want all that has become available in the West. The East is turning communist, the West is turning religious. The East is turning more and more materialist - why? Because in the East, eros is unfulfilled, so thanatos, the death-wish...
... more and more about less and less, and then one day you arrive at the ultimate goal of knowing all about nothing. Then you are completely closed and not even a window is open; then you have become windowless. This is unintelligence. Intelligence is to be open to wind, rain and sun, to be open to all. Not to carry the past is intelligence, to die to the past every moment is intelligence, to remain...
..., in the very transfer the baby will die. You will carry a dead corpse. There is no way of transferring it. The Sufis are very particular about it - that's why they deny knowledge. They say there is no knowledge possible. Knowing possible but knowledge is not possible. What is the difference between knowledge and knowing? There is no difference in the dictionary but in existence there is a tremendous...
... to come to know that you don't know. And this should not be a mere idea, it should be a lived experience. You should not only say it, it should not be only on your lips, it should be deep in your heart. You should feel it from your very guts - 'I don't know.' What do you know? Do you know God? Do you know truth? Do you know anything about death? Do you know anything about life? Yes, you are alive...
... Friedrich Nietzsche. He said, 'God is nothing but a weakening of the will to love.' When a person becomes old or a society becomes old, rotten, dull and dying, it starts thinking of God. Why? Because death is coming close by and one has to accept death. One is going to renounce life, life is slipping out of the hands, one cannot do anything about it - but one can accept death. God is a trick to accept...
... death. And death is accepted by only those who have become weak, weaklings. Nietzsche used to say that the very idea of God comes out of the feminine mind. he used to say that Buddha and Christ are both effeminate. They are not really masculine. They are too soft. They are the people who have accepted the defeat. They are fighting no more. They are not fighting for survival. When a person stops...
... FOLLOWED THIS TEACHER, AND THEN THAT ONE. NEXT I STUDIED THESE BOOKS, AND THEN THOSE. I FEEL THAT ALTHOUGH I KNOW NOTHING OF YOU AND YOUR TEACHINGS, THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN SLOWLY PREPARING ME TO LEARN FROM YOU.' When you go to a man like Bahaudin you are coming close to danger, you are coming close to fire, you are coming close to death. This man must have gone to this teacher and that. Of teachers...
... thing in them: Satan and St. Peter decided to hold a soccer game in paradise. It was to be hell versus heaven. When everything had been arranged, St. Peter said to Satan, "Look, I can't be dishonest with you. There is no way that your side can win. All soccer players are simple, pure people and when they die, they all go to heaven. Heaven is full of soccer players." "I thank you for...
... and who is below? These heaven/hell concepts have nothing to do with geography or space, and they don't have anything to do with time either. So it is not a question of tomorrows, not a question of something after death; it is a question of understanding, it is a question of meditation, it is question of becoming utterly silent, herenow. There is no other space than the here and no other time than...
... here, and that is meditation. One has to become utterly silent, because mind is always going either backwards or forwards; either it moves into memories or into imagination. It never stays here, it never remains in the now, for the simple reason that to be in the now means the death of the mind. It is afraid of the now, it is afraid of the present. Slowly slowly he learned the art of being now and...
... master thief." It was a privilege because the entry of the master thief meant you were really rich, because he would not go to any ordinary person, only kings and very rich people had the privilege of the master thief visiting them. The thief was becoming old. His son said to him, "Now you are old and soon you will die. Teach me your art!" The master thief said, "I was also thinking...
... come out of it. No need to bother me at this moment in the night. Go to sleep. In the morning, if you feel like telling me, you can tell me. But I know what has happened - if not the details, then the essence of it, and that's enough. That's my whole art, my son; you have learned it. And if I die tomorrow I will be dying happily because I will know I am leaving somebody who knows the art. This is how...
... comfortable than the grave. Nothing ever happens in a grave, no fear, because there is no longer any death possible; no disease, no illness, no old age. You cannot be cheated, you cannot be deceived, you cannot be robbed, you cannot go bankrupt. You are safe, secure. Life is insecure. Life basically is dangerous. And I teach you how to be alive, how to live dangerously, because that is the only way to live...
...; there is no other way. If you want to live safely, comfortably, that simply means you are desiring death, you are suicidal, you are a coward, escapist. Your feeling is true. You have come across something immensely significant. Now don't turn back. You say:... WHEN I FEEL CLOSE TO YOU SOMETIMES GREAT FEAR ARISES. Let it arise! That means the beginning of life. Accept it. Go through it. And it will not...
... harm you; it will help you - it will make you stronger than ever. If you can go through the fear consciously, fear will disappear and you will come out of the fire of it purer, like pure gold. Love is the death of the ego, hence the fear. The ego is very much afraid of going into love. It can pretend to, but it cannot go into love. It can come only up to a certain point; beyond that it becomes afraid...
... possible.' Midas became very angry. He said,'I have come in search of life, not of death.' Silenus said,'Nobody has ever come to know life until he dies.' So I know your fear, I understand it, and the fear is perfectly true. It is not deceiving you, it is telling you the truth: that if you let go, you are gone forever. But there arises a need, when one NEEDS to drop completely and die completely, because...
... only then is there resurrection. When you die, something bigger than you will be born, and that is the search. Out of death comes life. Allow death. I understand your difficulty. In spite of your fear you will have to let go. There was one very famous Zen Master, Tosan. A disciple asked him,'Master, what is Tao?' The Master said,'A dragon singing in the dry wood.' The disciple said,'I wonder whether...
... death and life. No, the third does not belong to any types. The second question: Question 2: I AM AWARE OF A DICHOTOMY WITHIN ME: WHEN I AM NEAR YOU, I AM DRAWN TOWARDS YOU AND AM CONSCIOUS OF BEING A THIRSTY SEEKER. WHEN I AM AWAY FROM THE ASHRAM I JUST HAVE A GOOD TIME AND FEEL DELICIOUSLY UNHOLY. IS SOMETHING WRONG? Nothing is wrong! It is as it should be. That's what I would like it to be...
...; remain alive. Don't become a dead thing. And the only way is: every day, die to the past so that you can be alive here-now. Go on dying to the past. Never carry the past around with you, otherwise you are carrying a great imprisonment around you; a great prison surrounds you. I am not concerned about whether that prison is made of gold and decorated with diamonds, or if it is a poor man's prison, just...
... words:'Miserable, ephemeral species, children of chance and hardship; why do you compel me to tell you what is most profitable for you not to hear? The very best is quite unthinkable for you. It is: not to be born. It is impossible because you are already born. The very best is not to be born, not to exist, to be nothing. But the next best thing is: to die as soon as possible. The next best only is...
... expression is absolutely suprahuman; not for a single moment will he allow human weakness to enter in. When he was dying, he stopped his disciples from weeping and crying; he said, "You can do it when I'm gone, you will have enough time, but right now, at least while I am still alive, don't do such a stupid thing. There is nothing to weep for because there is nobody to die. Why are you weeping?"...
.... Thousands of people are coming and they are getting confused. They don't think a buddha should be crying and weeping, and you are the man who has been saying to them again and again: There is no death and the innermost core lives forever. Then why are you weeping? Your master is not dead, he has only moved from the small body to the universal body of God. So why are you weeping?" Basho wiped his...
... senses. She had knocked on many doors; slowly slowly, she saw the point that death is inevitable - it happens to everybody, that nobody can escape from it. She came back, she was a totally different woman when she came back in the evening. The child was there, Buddha was waiting. He said, "Where are the mustard seeds?" The woman laughed, fell down at his feet and said, "Initiate me into...
... your path, because I have understood your message, that everybody has to die. Today my son has died, a few days before my husband died, a few days afterwards I am going to die. Before I die I want to see the deathless. Now I am not interested in my child being raised from the dead. Now I am interested myself in seeing the eternal life." Buddha initiated Kissa Gautami. Now, these stories are the...
... same, almost the same. Lazarus' sisters or Jesus' disciples, they sent for him. He was away. He came - it took four days for him to reach there - and he raised Lazarus from the dead. But what happened to Lazarus then? He must have died again because we don't see him anywhere. So what is the point? If you ask Buddha he will say, "What is the point of raising the man? He will die again. You are...
... simply creating another opportunity to die. Once is enough, why twice?" Buddha would have responded in a totally different way. Christians can't understand it because they are obsessed with the idea of Christ. They would like Buddha and Mahavira and Krishna to be the same way. That is not possible. Buddhists cannot understand Christ either, because they have the idea of Buddha, the image of Buddha...
... destroying yourself, the more you will become beloved to God. This has been the whole teaching of the religions in the past. This has contaminated man's being, poisoned man. These poisoners have exploited man tremendously out of it. These religions of the past were death- oriented, not life-oriented. What I am heralding is a life-oriented vision: love life in its multidimensionality because that is the...
... perfectly well that there was nobody, but still embarrassed - the whole life's philosophy of atheism! But when fear knocks on the doors and when death is so close by, who bothers about logic, philosophies, isms? Who bothers about reason, argument? "Dear Lord," he said, "please help me get out of these woods, and I will always worship you. I will even start going to the mosque. I will follow...
... could have been sentenced to death! And it is the same society that creates it! You divide man and woman apart so much, you create watertight compartments. And when the man wants to love he cannot find the woman, and the woman wants to love and she cannot find a man. Then, whatsoever is available... she starts falling in love with a woman, he starts falling in love with a man. And it is not satisfying...
... a dagger, with a sword, with a bayonet. Sex has been repressed; the politician exploited it in his own way. He needed armies, he needed slaves ready to die or to kill. The person who has not lived his life in celebration is ready to die for anything. He is ready to become a martyr for any stupid idea, ideology, scripture, religion. The man who has lived the joy and the blessings of a life will not...
... be so easily ready to die. He will say, "Why? Life is so precious. I cannot sacrifice my life just for a piece of cloth called the national flag." "I cannot sacrifice my life," he will say, "just because somebody has burned the Koran. So what? Print another." "I cannot sacrifice my life because somebody has burned a temple. So what? My life is more precious than...
... ordered the third, the Englishman could not contain himself; he rushed and caught hold of the third. He said, "Are you mad? Why are you jumping like that?" The man said, "Leave me alone. Let me jump! It is better to die than to live with this man." When life is misery it is better to die; any excuse is enough. The politician needed violence; he exploited. The priest needed power; he...
... underneath a tree and think about it - what happened, how you did it - and you can pat your own back that you did well. But in fact you have not done it - it happened. It happened out of the total context. You, the snake, the danger of death, the effort of life to protect itself... and a thousand and one other things are involved in it. The total situation caused the act. You were just a medium. Now, this...
... why does awareness function as a key? The person who is living in a dream, is deep asleep, has a nightmare, is being tortured, is being killed. And of course fighting, fighting back, he is very much afraid, wants somebody to save him, and finds no way to escape. All around him are enemies with naked swords. Death seems to be certain. Trembling, perspiring, just out of the pain of the nightmare, he...
... the garments away, but the inner being continues. Once you have seen your own inner being, in the light of awareness you have seen the being of all. It is eternity. Death is a falsity. Death happens only in dreams, not in truth, not in reality. How can you rape when you are aware? Awareness brings tremendous love in its wake, and a loving person cannot rape. Rape is possible only when the person has...
... secret - then people are bound to come to ask them what to do. Life is so miserable! And then they can tell them how to get free of life. Then they can give you rituals how never to be born again, how to get out of the wheel of birth and death. they have made life such a hell, and then they teach you how to get rid of it. My effort is just the opposite: I want to create heaven here-now, so that there...
... is no need to get rid of anything. There is no need to think of getting rid of birth and death, and there is no need for the old, so-called religions. More music is needed, more poetry is needed, more art is needed, certainly more mysticism is needed, more science is needed - and then there will be a totally different kind of religion born, a new religion. A religion which will not teach you anti...
... own navel - afraid. He cannot allow anybody else to touch his navel; that is out of the question. He cannot touch it himself; he has never fingered his navel - that is impossible. He will die. he is so afraid of it. Now it looks absurd, but it looks absurd to you only because you have other fears. This is his fear. Now what am I going to do? I told him, "You just wait here and after a few days...
... is already disappearing. The real rose by the evening starts falling, the petals are falling. The real rose lives only for the moment, then it disappears. The real knows birth and death; the real lives in danger. Your morality, your honesty, your religion, were not really a way of living a dangerous life, but, on the contrary, defence measures. You were creating a safe life for yourself, secure...
... will disappear. It is frightening because you will have to die. Love requires that much sacrifice. But it is worth it, be- cause through death is resurrection. Die in love, and you will be born as love. And you will never again be the same, and the world will be totally different. The same world will be so full of God if you are full of love. I teach love: love is my message. But the way to teach it...
... eternal virginity of the mountains he was going to die. He had lived beautifully, a long life. Now he wanted to have a beautiful death in the valleys surrounded by the mountains, with the sound of running water and birds and flowers and the fragrance. The disciples asked, "Your last message, Master?" And he said, "Beware of me." That has been always the last message of all great...
... is going to happen. A new life is being born. In love you become pregnant. A new spirit is being born, and in the beginning it is heavy. And in the beginning it is so new that you would like to escape from it. But never escape love, because love is the temple of God. When it happens, let it happen - help it to happen. Even if you have to die and disappear into it, die and disappear. Accept the...
... transformed, they become luminous. The man who becomes enlightened becomes himself the tree of knowledge. Beware of the Buddhas. That's why Buddha says: "If you meet me on the way, kill me!" Beware of the Buddhas. The last thing that Zarathustra said to his disciples was: "Beware of me!" He was leaving for the mountains, to disappear and die in the mountains; in the silence, in the...
