... so-called great thinkers and philosophers and theologians are stargazers. They don't see that which is close; their eyes are fixed far away on an imaginary God, a paradise beyond death. I don't care at all about your gods, and I don't care at all what happens to you after your death. My concern is what happens to you right now, to your consciousness. Because that will always be with you, beyond...
... death, wherever you are. Your consciousness will carry that light which divides the wrong from the right. Anything that makes you more alert, more conscious, more peaceful, more silent, more celebrating, more festive, is good. Anything that makes you unconscious, miserable, jealous, angry, destructive, is wrong. I am not giving you a list of objects which are right and which are wrong. I am simply...
... unless the whole humanity takes the responsibility of murderers and thieves and rapists, we are not going to change anything. We have condemned them for centuries, and what we have done to them is so ridiculous.... If a person is caught trying to commit suicide, then for centuries his punishment was death. Strange... great wisdom! What he was doing himself, you are doing to him as a punishment. If a...
... murderer is given a death sentence, your whole society is murderous, your law is murderous. What is the difference? That man destroyed a life and you are destroying another life - do you think by destroying this murderer you are going to bring life back to the murdered one? No, instead of one man murdered now there are two men murdered - great justice, great love. If a man has murdered someone, somewhere...
... something that one is going to die from. It takes ninety days to kill a person without food, so don't be worried." But tears in their eyes, of great love... "No, you will have to accept, because we can eat anything. The non-vegetarian meals are available to us." And whenever I passed through the corridor to enter in a jail or to come out of a jail, they were all standing behind the bars...
... world, and that world beyond death which nobody has ever seen, which nobody has ever proved, for which no evidence, no argument exists. But all the religions have been telling you: sacrifice the world that you know for a world which no one knows whether it exists or not. They are dividing you again between life and divine life. The divine life is always beyond death. And we have accepted these...
... said, "It does not matter. I don't understand English, but something is better than nothing." Can you see how we have made the human mind unnecessarily miserable? Now this man at the age of seventy still has a desire to go to see a film. When he came back, I asked him, "Are you satisfied?" He said, "That there was nothing, it was great of you that you helped me. I can now die...
... without any desire. Otherwise I was afraid that this desire would continue even at the moment of death." If you forcibly renounce anything it will follow you. If your understanding, your meditation, your silence makes you grown up, anything that is stupid will simply fall away from your life, you will not have to renounce it. And remember one thing: growing old and growing up do not mean the same...
... you wanted. Now this frustrated energy becomes anger - anger against the person who has destroyed the possibility of fulfilling your desire. You cannot prevent anger, because anger is a by-product, but you can do something else so that the by-product does not happen at all. In life, remember one thing: never desire anything so intensely as if it is a question of life and death. Be a little playful...
... said, "My prayer does not depend on any condition - those things are ordinary. Whether I get food or not I don't want to bother existence about it - such a small thing in such a big universe. If I don't get water... even if I die, it does not matter, my prayer will remain the same. Because this vast universe... it makes no difference whether Junnaid is alive or dead." This is what I mean...
... literally that "unless you are born again" means that first you will have to die, and then you will be born, and on the judgment day Jesus will take you into paradise. That is not the meaning of the man. What he is saying is: Unless you die right now as a personality and emerge as an innocent individuality, unscratched, unpolluted by the society and the people... This is your new birth, this is...
... going to do something. He has answered me well." Wherever I went people would ask, "What happened? He was perfectly healthy." I said, "People die at any age. You are worried about him, you are not worried about my hairs." That was the last thing my father ever did to me, because he knew that the answer could be more dangerous! On the contrary, he brought a certain oil that is...
... interested in how many people are meditating; it is not my responsibility. I am fulfilled and absolutely content. If death comes this moment I will not even tell death, "Wait a few minutes more; let me finish my speech." What is the point? I am always ready; in the middle of the sentence I can stop. I have no desires, no longings, no stupid superiority complex of being a prophet or a messiah or a...
... up to me?" It has been always up to you whether to get into the mess or get out of it. It is none of my business. I have never bothered.... Millions of people have passed by my side, people who were ready to die for me, or were ready to kill me just if I said something that went against their prejudices -- the same people. It has been a tremendously rich life of experiences, but now I am...
... rational thing. It is not a syllogism: she is your mother; hence you have to love her. Wherever any kind of compulsoriness comes in, love is very delicate and disappears. Everybody is much more worthy than he can even dream of, to receive love, to share love, to rejoice in making love your very life. Birth is not in your hands, neither is death in your hands. Between birth and death only one thing is in...
... life force, as you become aware there is no death, fear disappears. And with the disappearance of the fear -- from the very roots -- now there is no point in keeping your heart closed. You can open your heart to friend and foe, to those who are familiar and to those who are strangers. And you will receive gifts which you had not ever imagined. You are saying, Neera, "Over the last few months, I...
... yourself down and making something so important that people are ready to die for money; people are ready to die for power. People are ready to do anything to fulfill their ambition. All these attachments destroy your worthiness. They take away all that is beautiful and valuable in you. You become smaller than the things you are attached to and infatuated with. A man who has no attachment has tremendous...
... then falling asleep... never finding a small gap of time just to see that your life is slipping by and you have not done anything even to be introduced to it. Death is going to knock any day on your doors, but you are not prepared -- all these worries had no time, because you were so tired. But you were happy. Here, nobody is dictating to you. It was all contrary to me, because I was in isolation and...
..., and will die almost a natural death. Nobody can suspect that he has been poisoned. But only one person, the medical person in the group, knew about it. The whole medical corporation was unaware. So the problem was that the secret was kept within those twenty people, and because they all were in some way or other involved in arson, in murder -- they murdered one man -- in attempts to murder, in...
... in this world, where two and half billion people will be dying out of starvation, what will be the shape? It will be just death all around. Secondly, the nuclear weapons are going bigger and bigger. Already Soviet Union and America together have enough nuclear weapons to destroy this earth seven hundred times. Now, we must be living in a mad world. Now, what is the point of creating more nuclear...
... compassion try to wipe the tears, you may get AIDS as a reward. Any liquid coming out of the body can carry the virus, and there seems to be no cure. And all the scientists are absolutely in agreement that there is no hope in the future either, because the very nature of AIDS is totally different from other diseases. The cure is not possible. It is not a disease but a slow kind of death. Just as there is...
... no cure for disease called death, there is no cure for disease called AIDS. It is slow death. I don't want my people to bring children into this ugly, insane... on the very verge of a global suicide. This world is not right to bring children. So in four years not a single baby has been born in the commune. And I would like that the whole humanity follows the pattern. If for thirty years no children...
... sensitive, our eyes were not so penetrating, our insight was not so far-reaching. He has taken pictures of people who are going to be sick, or die, and he has caught their future. He has told people, "You are going to have cancer." The experts are simply at a loss, because there are no symptoms at all, the man is perfectly healthy; there is no indication that he is going to have cancer. They...
... instruments and the ability to look into the future. Kirlian has taken photographs of people who are going to die, and he has said, "This man is going to die because his picture shows him as dead." And the man is full of life, at the peak of his youth. The whole idea that he is going to die seems to be absurd. At first the doctors simply rejected Kirlian as a madman. How can photographs be taken...
... bright. Come closer... there is a certain moment when, from the burning candle, the flame jumps to the unlit candle and suddenly you are enlightened. And the beauty is, the burning candle loses nothing and the unlit candle gains everything - the whole universe. Sannyas is a journey from darkness towards light, from death towards immortality, from ignorance towards an explosion of knowing. The books or...
... uncomfortable. You have lived in death again and again, so that the very idea of immortality has become inconceivable to you. Your whole life is surrounded by lies - to come close to a master means dropping all those lies because they are the barriers between you and the master. Before you can realize the truth the lies have to be dropped, however valuable you think they are, and however ancient you think...

INfiNITE SOUNDS ARE RINGING, AND INfiNITE ARE THE PLAYERS; INfiNITE THE SINGERS, AND INfiNITE THE MELODIES THEY SING. WATER, fiRE AND WIND SING YOUR GLORY, AND THE GOD OF DEATH SINGS AT YOUR DOOR; CHITRAGUPTA, SHIVA, BRAHMA, DEVI - ALL SING YOUR GLORY; AND INDRA ON HIS THRONE...
... around and listen! Existence sings from every corner. Nothing in existence is clearer than music. It stops at death when life has become silent. Life is full of resonance, but man is deaf; therefore, though the thread is clear and within our hands, we do not grasp it. If life is so full of song, then it is certain that God's hand is behind it. God is somewhere hidden behind the song. If we could sing...
... the world that prevents you from singing and dancing. Dance, sing - and you stand in the footsteps of God. Nanak says it in such poetic words: WHERE IS THAT DOOR? WHAT MANSION IS IT WHERE YOU SIT AND OVERLOOK YOUR CREATION? INfiNITE SOUNDS ARE RINGING, AND INfiNITE ARE THE PLAYERS; INfiNITE THE SINGERS, AND INfiNITE THE MELODIES THEY SING. WATER, fiRE AND WIND SING YOUR GLORY, AND THE GOD OF DEATH...
... the door; therefore, his words are straightforward and simple. As if this is happening before his eyes he says: WHERE IS THAT DOOR? WHAT MANSION IS IT WHERE YOU SIT AND OVERLOOK YOUR CREATION? INfiNITE SOUNDS ARE RINGING, AND INfiNITE ARE THE PLAYERS; INfiNITE THE SINGERS, AND INfiNITE THE MELODIES THEY SING. WATER, fiRE AND WIND SING YOUR GLORY, AND THE GOD OF DEATH SINGS AT YOUR DOOR. CHITRAGUPTA...
..., SHIVA, BRAHMA, DEVI - ALL SING YOUR GLORY; Understand that Dharmraj, the god of death, signifies the zenith, the climax; he is the deity of virtue and ethics. To investigate what is good and what is not good in its finest subtlety is the work of Dharmraj. Nanak says that even he sits at Your door and sings. There can be no one of a more serious nature than Dharmraj. His very name implies one who has a...
... death. Don't be afraid of maya, it is only His play." One thing is certain and imperative: don't lose yourself in this play. Always keep your mind on the player - this is 'remembrance'. Don't get lost in the dance. Keep constantly in mind Him who directs the dance. Look at the trees, hear the song of the birds, but do not be so lost in them that you forget the One who is behind them all! Maya...
.... They are waiting for Godot. When they don't know who this God is, then why are they waiting? Because if you don't wait for something you fall into the inner emptiness. If you are not waiting for something to happen, you have to face your inner vacuum, the inner nothingness. And it;s scary, it is death-like. To avoid it, to escape from it, one projects a dream in the future; that's how future time is...
... the seed becomes the flower there is joy, there is delight. Once you understand who you are, once you go deep into your emptiness and are not scared, once you accept the inner death and you are not trying to escape through dreams and projections, once you accept that you are dust unto dust and between these two happenings there is nothing but a deep emptiness, you have arrived at what Buddha calls...
... is a phenomenon - so vast, so infinite, that no word can contain it. Only the infinite heart can contain it. Only the infinite inner emptiness can contain it. When you enter within yourself, you will feel you are entering into a space where you are going to be lost - just as a drop of water entering into the ocean is lost. You will be lost: that is the fear. That is why you become afraid of death...
... and you start dreaming - future, projections. Entry into your being is always like death. It is a crucifixion. It is a cross. But if you are courageous enough.... And cowards can never become religious. Only very rare courageous souls who can take the risk of being lost, arrive. You have to pay for it and nothing less will do. You have to lose yourself to gain it. Once you are ready to enter into...
... as history, you are behaving very foolishly. It is a beautiful, poetic metaphor. Christ is crucified and on the third day he is resurrected. A new life - immortal now, eternal now. If you move withinwards and come across the inner emptiness, you will die. And there will be a gap. The three days are symbolic. There will be a gap. You will lie dead for three days just like Jesus in the cave. Just a...
.... Knowing is yours, knowledge is others. 'THAT IS JUST AS WHEN A MAN WALKS THROUGH THE WOODS ON A DARK NIGHT, AND FOR A TIME ANOTHER MAN ACCOMPANIES HIM WHO HAS A LAMP, BUT AT THE CROSSROADS THEY PART AND THE FIRST MUST GROPE HIS WAY ON ALONE.' Buddha was dying. He walked for forty years with a lamp and thousands followed him. Now he was going to die. One day in the morning he said: 'This is my last day...
... he has not even taken account of it. The person may be simply imagining that he has reached the past life. How do you make the distinction? The man may be dreaming under hypnosis that he has reached the past life. Even that imagination and hallucination and dreaming may be helpful to remove the symptoms, but you cannot be certain that he has reached really beyond the birth, beyond the death, to the...
.... Unless you know the beyond, the mysterious, you know nothing. You can live a healthy life, and you can have a healthy heart attack. It is a well-known fact that sick people rarely have heart attacks. One needs some energy to have a heart attack. Have you observed the fact that after eighty years of age, very few people die? After ninety, even less and after a hundred, you will very rarely find somebody...
... dying, because dying needs some energy. After a hundred years of living, you will be so exhausted... you cannot die! It will be good for him to have a deep contact with the East, because he will not get any support in the West. He will be suppressed, subdued, contradicted, and alone he will not be able to fight the vested interests of Christianity, Judaism, Mohammedanism, communism. Now almost three...
... is time to stop all desiring, it is time to stop all greed, it is time to stop all jealousy. It is time to look inwards, and to see your original face. In the East, we have called this cycle of birth and death... You just go on moving like a wheel, the same route again and again, the same spokes again and again. Sometimes it comes up, sometimes it goes down, but it is the same wheel. How to get rid...
... of this wheel of birth and death has been the only focus of the whole Eastern consciousness. And certainly that helped so many people in India, in China, in Tibet, in Japan, to become enlightened, to become buddhas. The whole earth has the same intrinsic birthright. The sutra. Maneesha has asked: OUR BELOVED MASTER, A MONK ASKED KOYO SEIJO, "DAITSU SAT IN ZAZEN FOR TEN KALPAS - millions of...
... man who cannot laugh is sick, sick unto death. Bernie Baloney comes racing into the emergency room of the Hamchop Hospital. "Excuse me, miss," he pants, as he reaches the receptionist, "but can you tell me which ward Miss Fitz is in?" "Miss Fitz? You mean Miss Fannie Fitz?" asks the receptionist. "The woman who got run over by a steamroller this morning?"...
... beyond the ken of so-called saints and the mortals, the people who are still living with the idea that this life is all and that with death everything ends ...these are the mortals. The so-called saints whose intentions cannot be doubted are sincere people, but they have fallen into wrong ways. They have become followers, imitators. They have ideals in their mind cultivated by the society, by the...
..., death, because all these are creating the situation for you to search for truth. Otherwise you would fall asleep; otherwise you would be so comfortable, you would become a vegetable. There would be no need .... Suffering creates the need for a search. YOUR BODY AND MIND ARE THE FIELD. SUFFERING IS THE SEED, WISDOM THE SPROUT AND BUDDHAHOOD THE GRAIN. In this synthesis he is giving credit to your body...
... drop those poisons of greed, anger and delusion which really constitute your mind -- the moment you have dropped the mind, your very being becomes heaven itself. The idea that is prevalent in the world is that those who are good will enter one day after death into heaven, and those who are bad will one day enter hell after death. That idea is absolutely wrong. The good have already entered heaven...
... -- there is no need to wait for death. Heaven is not somewhere else. It is just your own transformation. The same energy that is anger becomes compassion, the same energy that is greed becomes sharing, the same energy that is delusion becomes awareness. The energy is the same, just its direction changes. To change the direction of your energies, to create a new symphony out of your energies, is the whole...
