... not open it unless it was an almost life-and-death problem. Then came the time. A neighbouring kingdom defeated him. He escaped into the forest, into the hills, with the enemy following. He could hear their footsteps of the horses coming closer and closer and closer. He came to a precipice - now there was no go. He could not go back and the enemy was coming. They would be there within seconds. And...
... he would die if he jumped. Now was the moment. He couldn't find any solution, so he opened the locket. There was a simple sentence: 'This too will pass.' Just this much was written on it. He said, 'What type of person is that old man, befooling me? There is nothing in it, and I was thinking that it was a great secret - This too will pass.' But it happened that while he was reading it, suddenly he...
... getting out of it; you will struggle against it. You will resist it as if you are slipping into death. Don't be worried - you are coming to terms with life as it is. Feel happy... feel coolly happy. In the beginning it will be difficult. But soon when you have tasted it and you are drunk with it, you will not be ready to give it for anything whatsoever. [One of the leaders said that they had prepared a...
... other treasure can give you contentment, because all other treasures will be taken away by death. There is only one treasure which death cannot take away from you; it is hidden in the deep recesses of your own being. It is part of you; it cannot be taken away. It is intrinsically part of you. It is you. It cannot be taken away. It cannot be burned, it cannot be destroyed. It is an invisible energy...
.... You can call it God, you can call it nirvana, enlightenment; any name will do, because it has no name of its own. To look within is to become aware of the immense glory of man, the dignity of consciousness. With that dignity, great gratitude arises towards God. You have something to be grateful for only when you have something that transcends death, that surpasses time. Only when you have something...
... eros energy will become sore. That's what has happened: it has become a wound. The same wound can become a rose, it can become a flower, it can bloom with great joy, but then you will need open sky and winds and the sun. Yes, there is danger. You can put the rose in your protected home under the shelter; it will die! It needs all the challenge of the open world; all the dangers are needed. Those are...
.... Somebody dies and you are thick, it does not penetrate you so you remain perfectly okay; no emotional response is needed. Now if somebody dies you will feel almost like dying. If you love somebody and he dies or she dies, for a few days you are going to be really in death. When a beloved dies, for a few days at least one has to go with the beloved into deep depth, into deep death... into those gloomy...
... death because there is no more to it - everything is already known! Hence a great meaninglessness is arising in the west - particularly in the minds of those who are very very clear, logical, thinkers - a great boredom: what else to do? Everything seems to be finished. They have explored the small room totally and they don't go beyond the boundaries. Great mysteries are waiting, but those mysteries...
... just natural. Sannyas is entering into the illogical, into the paradoxical... but life is there! With the mind there is only death, only death.... The mind functions perfectly well with things; with persons it cannot function at all because a person is a mystery. And the mind goes on keeping to the earth. It looks only a few feet ahead and goes on keeping to the earth: it never raises its eyes to the...
... definition of a child and an old man. The old man has a past and has no future, and the child has only a future and no past. If you can always remain responsible towards the future, you remain a child, as fresh as dew. Even at the moment of dying - you may be one hundred years old - but if your responsibility is towards the future you are young. Even in death you are young. You don't bother about life...
.... When death is coming, you pay your respects to death. So be faithful to the sun that is yet to rise and always remain available to new possibilities, to new doors. There are an infinity of doors and infinite are the possibilities. If you don't become too closed with your past, life never repeats itself. Even when you feel that it is repeating, it is not. It may be similar but it is never a repetition...
... disappears, another comes into existence. Earths disappear, planets disappear, stars disappear, but somewhere else... but the total remains the same. It always contains the same. When one feels one with the total there is no death any more. Waves die, the ocean remains. To be identified with the wave is to be miserable. To know that one is the ocean, to be oceanic, is to be blissful. Deva means divine...
...... then you are the sky. Then the sun rises in you and the stars move in you; you contain the whole within you. That is the meaning of becoming a god of bliss. Then all is joy, because nothing can be taken away from you. Then there is no death, because the whole never dies. Only parts change, the whole continues. One tree dies, another tree is born. One river dries up, another starts flowing. One cloud...
... vitamin. The most vital thing in existence is attention. If no one loves you, you start withering away. If no one pays attention to you, death settles in. You want to die. If someone pays attention to you, you become alive again. Attention is life, elan vital. If no one loves you, you will commit suicide, because you are not capable of loving yourself. If you were capable of loving yourself, if you were...
... mean a belief in God, theism doesn't mean believing in a theology. Theism means a total yes to existence, saying yes to existence. But when can you say yes? You can say it only when you have heard the song. How can you say yes to a cry; how can you say yes to a noise, a mad noise; how can you say yes to the insanity that appears all around, the death, the misery? How can you say yes to it? But it is...
... IN THE DUST OF THIS WORLD; IF YOU DISAGREE, YOU WILL BE ALWAYS SUNK IN LIFE AND DEATH." Maneesha, these small anecdotes are small only in size; in depth, no ocean can compete with them. It is a miracle that in such small dialogues, the greatest of experiences, which are inexpressible, are expressed. Look at this small anecdote: KINZAN, GANTO AND SEPPO - all masters - WERE DOING ZAZEN WHEN...
... - listening to Ganto - AND GANTO SAID, "IF YOU AGREE TO THIS, YOU ARE STILL IN THE DUST OF THIS WORLD." This is a very beautiful point to be remembered. If you agree to this, to what I have said, remember: agreement means movement has stopped. You have already agreed. If you agree to this, you are still in the world. AND IF YOU DISAGREE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SUNK IN LIFE AND DEATH. What a great...
... open your wings and fly in the inner world without any bondage, without any weight. This has been called by the buddhas and the siddhas, the only freedom. Great is this blissfulness, this suchness, this life in death, this silence in relaxation, this peace beyond mind, this dance which is the only sacred experience in the world. Poor are those who have never entered in. Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Come...
... so afraid. You are entering into your grave alive. Fear is a grave, love is a temple. In love life comes to its ultimate peak. In fear life falls to the level of death. Fear stinks, love is fragrant. Why should you be afraid? Be afraid of your ego, be afraid of your lust, be afraid of your greed, be afraid of your possessiveness; be afraid of your jealousy -- but there is no question of being...
... fear. But people are afraid of God also for the simple reason that their God is again a projection of ambition. The day Jesus was going to be crucified, he gave a farewell party for his disciples -- The Last Supper. He was going to die the next day, and do you know what the disciples were asking? They were asking, "Lord, tell us one thing, because now this is the last time we will be able to ask...
... thousands of people, but underground. If even a single copy is seized they will be in trouble. Now, in such a society, how can you think of tackling the problems to change them? There is no freedom to think at all. And the same is true about Mao Zedong's China. Just as Russians insulted Joseph Stalin after his death...when he was alive they could not say anything because he was too powerful. To say...
... anything against him only meant one thing: death. You would disappear the next day and you would never be heard of again. Now the same is happening to Mao Zedong. Now his portraits are being removed, his statues are being removed, his name is being brought down. Soon you will see that Mao Zedong has become an ugly name in China, just as Stalin has become an ugly name in Russia. In China Mao Zedong's name...
... to re-condition it. That is, you create a new habit of being happy. Unless a new habit is created - of being happy - the old habit is bound to persist, because the energy needs some outlet. You cannot simply remain without any outlet. You will die, you will suffocate. If your energy is not becoming love, it is bound to become sour, bitter; anger, sadness. Sadness is not the problem - neither is...
... ashamed; the death created the trouble. Suddenly she died, and now you cannot forgive yourself. The death shocked you, so now you would like to go to her and say 'Sorry, Vipassana. It was not good of me to say that to you'. But there is nobody to whom you can say it, so now it will always remain a weight. To destroy that weight, you are trying to balance it by feeling ashamed. That's what's happening to...
... many people. While alive, they won't love each other, and when somebody dies, they repent their whole lives - that they should have loved, and they missed. But remember that everybody present here, everybody present in this moment in the whole world, is going to die. So let it become a deep remembrance in you. Behave with each and every person as if this meeting will be the last. And just see the...
