... consciously; hence he does not die. He dies joyously because to him death comes as a freedom, as a freedom from the bondage of body-mind ... as if suddenly all the walls have fallen and you have become the whole sky. Ta Hui's last statement is so beautiful and so poetic: THE WEATHER IS HOT AND YOU HAVE BEEN STANDING A LONG TIME. TA HUI GAVE A SHOUT AND DESCENDED FROM THE SEAT. In Zen, the shout of the...
... should listen to him. First you die, and then if he is still alive, I will listen -- but right now it is your responsibility." He said, "You are strange. You don't have anything to do; why can't you just sit and listen to him?" I said, "Right now it is your duty. Your father has died, not my father. You are getting the whole heritage, and this man is part of the heritage." One...
... THE LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE, DON'T BLAME ME. Ta Hui is reminding you in his last statement that if you don't lose your ego, if you don't lose your identity with the body and mind, if you don't become pure meditation, then "don't blame me at the time of your death." Then you will see the body is going, the mind is going ... and you had remained always confined to the body and to the mind, and...
... you never looked beyond. When the body and the mind are going, people fall unconscious. The shock is so terrible that they cannot remain conscious. Only a meditator can remain conscious because he knows. Even before death, many times when he was in meditation the body was lying there, the mind was there ... and he was far above. He was a totally different phenomenon. A man of meditation dies...
... become very intimate with somebody, he will become aware of it. But we are fragile beings -- the most fragile in the whole existence. The human child is the most fragile child of all the animals. The children of other animals can survive without the mother, without the father, without a family. But the human child will die immediately. So this frailty is not something to be condemned -- it is the...
.... Have you ever thought about it? At the age of ninety, very few people die. At the age of a hundred, even less people die. At the age of a hundred and twenty, nobody dies. So getting older is not a problem. People die at seventy, seventy-five, and then the number starts getting less and less. By the time they have made the century, then they don't die. So don't be worried about getting older. Just be...
... making love for two months and then the woman started feeling very guilty, because her conditioning was such that she has betrayed Jesus Christ, she has betrayed her religion. A nun is a bride of Jesus Christ, and this ugly fellow... but she is stuck with him on this island. She felt so bad about it that she committed suicide. Two months after her death, the man started feeling that what he was doing...
... of this century, there will be one hundred million people suffering from AIDS. If ten million people are suffering from AIDS, then what do you think? How many people will be involved in homosexuality? And when I had said for the first time that two thirds of humanity will die from AIDS, all the journalists laughed about it. Now the doctors are saying that at least seventy percent of people in some...
... areas of the world could die from AIDS. That is a bigger percentage than I had predicted. My prediction was only two-thirds; that was sixty-six percent. They are talking now of seventy percent. But everybody is taking a very hopeful and optimistic attitude -- and there are hundreds of other countries which are not exposing themselves, not reporting how many homosexuals they have and how many people...
... then is there a possibility of meeting. Longing is a barrier, desire is a barrier. I don't have any longing. That does not mean that I am hurting you, don't misunderstand me. It has nothing to do with you; it is just explaining to you my situation. In my heart, there is no longing. It is completely fulfilled. If I die this very moment, I will die in utter contentment because nothing is left which is...
... space of not knowing, the search, the seeking, arises. But who can say when it is going to be fulfilled? It is unpredictable. Q: DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A GOD? A: My God! There is no God, so how can I consider myself a god? God is the greatest lie invented by man. Q: WHY? A: Because man feels so helpless, so afraid of death, so burdened with life's problems. Because he has been raised by a father, by...
... life, my people love life. I'm not afraid of death. I will enjoy death as much as life, but my people don't want me to leave the body now, and they have every right to protect me. I'm not going to prevent anybody who is going to assassinate me. Why should I prevent my people from protecting me? If the assassin is free, I'm not going to interfere. And the people who love me and want to protect me, I'm...
... take the responsibility for whatsoever happened in Jonestown. From Jesus till this Pope the Polack, all are responsible for it, because Christianity is a death- oriented religion. The cross is its symbol. There is nothing common between me and Reverend Jim Jones. Everything is opposite to him. Q: PEOPLE THINK THE POWER YOU HAVE OVER YOUR FOLLOWERS.... A: I don't have any power. I don't have any...
... ago there was no water. We managed two big lakes, small ponds all around, enough water. And we can create more lakes, more water. We can make more land ready to be cultivated. It is only a question of effort, devotion, and the joy of creation. Those people are simply jealous, lazy, lousy, and nothing else. And it is our problem, not their problem. If my people die because the water is not enough...
... creative. It is only a question of application. The nuclear weapons are meant to destroy. The whole science is motivated towards a third world war. The same energy that is being put into making these weapons and these new discoveries can be put into creative ways. There is no need for Ethiopia to starve and die. Q: DOES THIS PUT YOU ON THE SIDE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS? A: Not to destroy -- but the energy...
... send medical groups to help the Ethiopians die peacefully if you cannot provide food and clothes. And how long are you going to provide? Ethiopia has been starving and dying for four years continuously, and those dying Ethiopians are still creating children. The people who have increased the population of the world by their teachings should take the responsibility and feed those people; or, if they...
... needed for more nuclear plants, atomic bombs. All that India has is farming. Eighty percent of Indians are farmers; they can only sell their raw product. And they will be purchasing death. So if great explosions go on happening, it is scientifically estimated how many explosions will start melting the eternal snow of the Himalayas. And even just the Himalayas melting is enough to drown India completely...
...-existential. You cannot see it, you cannot touch it, you cannot feel it. God is a belief, heaven is a belief, hell is a belief The reason why you believe in these things is within your psychology; the priest is only exploiting. You have greed for immortality, you have greed for paradise and all the pleasures there. You have fear of death, you have fear of falling into the darkness of hell and all the...
... tortures there. Naturally you start believing, because you don't want to go to hell, you want to go to heaven. It is because of this psychology that an idiot like Reverend Jim Jones managed the suicide of his whole commune. He persuaded them to die with him, because if they died with him, they would all enter into heaven. This is the logical conclusion of Jesus' telling his disciples, 'I will take you...
... the purest truth possible, as pure as it can be put into words, because now the people who are around me can even understand my silence. So there is no question of misunderstanding my words. That is impossible. So a totally new phase. And I have experienced so much that to die without conveying it in some way or other will be a shame. Q: IS YOUR CONVEYING WHAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED ALSO THE REASON...
... that the person slowly slowly becomes sick and dies almost as if a natural death, so nobody can suspect that he has been poisoned. If you suddenly poison somebody and he dies, then it will be found. So she was giving the poison in tea, in coffee, in injections. The person may be thinking of some other injection is being given, and he is being given some poison. And it will take six months for him to...
... die. So she must have carried much. And nobody checked her, because she was continuously coming and going, so there was no question of checking. Otherwise she had no right even to use the commune airplane. She should have herself declared that she is leaving, so her luggage should be checked. But to avoid it she kept me in dark that four days she will be waiting and then she will see me. And there...
... son, and I don't want him to see again." And in India when somebody dies and his funeral pyre is lit with fire, the eldest son puts the fire. So Gandhi made it his will that "Haridas is not my son and I emphasize the fact that after my death he should not put the fire into my funeral." What anger! What violence! I have known this man, Haridas Gandhi. He was really a lovely man. And he...
... is going to be Germany. I would like to have a good fight with German politicians. Q: WITH DECLARING THE DEATH OF RAJNEESHISM AS A RELIGION, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE ANY CHANGES IN THE CONTENT OF YOUR TEACHINGS, OR ARE YOU CHANGING ANY OF YOUR TEACHING? B: No, because before I went into silence there was no Rajneeshism. It was created by Sheela and her fascist gang. As I came out of silence, I have...
... you to objects also. Even when you are alone, when no one is there, you are loving. It is just like breathing. If I take an oath that I will breathe only when I am with you, only death can follow. Breathing is not relationship; it is not tied to any relationship. And for the etheric body, love is just like breathing. It is its breath. So either you are loving, or you are not loving. The type of love...
... can be changed; it can be thrown from you. And now, new possibilities are there. Someday even your mind will be able to be transplanted into someone else. Just as the heart can be transplanted, sooner or later memory will be able to be transplanted. Then a person who is dying will not die completely. At least his memory can be saved and transplanted into a new child. The child will acquire the whole...
... being. There is a flower within your reach, but you will never come to know it because you are thinking about it. The flower will die, and you will go on thinking about it. Thinking has created a film between you and the experience - transparent, but not so transparent; only an illusion of transparency. For example, you are listening to me. But it may be that you are not really listening. If you are...
...; God is not Brahman itself. Brahman means all light and darkness combined, life and death combined, existence and non-existence combined. God is not death; God is only life. God is not non-existence; God is only existence. God is not darkness; God is only light. He is only part of the total being, not the total. To know the total is to become nothing. Only nothingness can know the wholeness...

... be utterly bored! Bertrand Russell is reported to have said: I don't want to go to heaven, for the simple reason that there will be sages and sages, all perfect. Heaven is bound to be very boring. Just think of all perfect people - what life can there be? Bertrand Russell is right: in hell there is much more life than in heaven. Heaven will certainly be dull and dead. Perfection is death...
... woman, and naturally he had to die a bachelor. When he was dying, somebody asked him, "Your whole life you were searching for a perfect wife. Could you not find a single woman who was perfect?" He said, "Who said that I didn't find her? Many times I came across a perfect woman." Then the questioner asked, "Then what happened? Why didn't you get married?" He said, "...
... carried it like a great treasure. One night it happened: he was staying in a cold hut. And the winter was really ice-cold and he was shivering. It seemed that he was going to die. There was no wood for his fire. At midnight, when he was shivering, it is said that Buddha appeared and said: 'Why don't you burn me?' The wooden statue was there. The man became afraid. This must be a devil. He said: 'What...
... it exists or not? Life eternal may be just a wish-fulfillment. Something beyond death?it may be just a trick of human mind. To tolerate death? To accept death? To live with death? It may be just a trick of the mind.' Then you are impatient. But once you have seen the light... even the light of somebody else, which cannot light your path, but can give you a trust. From the Masters, one doesn't learn...

WITH THE OLD GODS, THEY HAVE LONG SINCE MET THEIR END - AND TRULY, THEY HAD A FINE, MERRY, DIVINE ENDING! THEY DID NOT 'FADE AWAY IN TWILIGHT' - THAT IS A LIE!

..., I accept it. If death is going to be my fate, I will welcome it, but I will not ask for some savior to interfere. I will remain on my own, I will remain myself." Prayer is betraying you and your very being. YOU KNOW IT WELL: THE COWARDLY DEVIL IN YOU WHO WOULD LIKE TO CLASP HIS HANDS AND TO FOLD HIS ARMS AND TO TAKE IT EASIER: - IT WAS THIS COWARDLY DEVIL WHO PERSUADED YOU: 'THERE IS A GOD...
....' Just for the last time, before you leave the body." He said, "Don't do that to me, because I am a devotee of Krishna and at the last moment I should remember Krishna; and if you remain here by my side I will remember Rama, not Krishna. You are so much associated with him. For years you have been shouting... just let me die peacefully!" These are the believers - so afraid. Even the word...

... is a variety of flowers. Let there be a variety of flowering consciousnesses - different, unique, in their own right - and existence will be richer. That's why Zarathustra says it was a godless saying. And because one god said it, all other gods laughed to their death. They laughed so much, "This old idiot must have gone mad. What is he saying? He is destroying the dignity of the whole...
