... is against both." To me atheism is simply a reaction of theism. If theism disappears, if there is nobody who believes in God, then atheism will die an automatic death, because then what is the point of denying? So it is a dependent phenomenon. It has nothing of its own to give. It has no contribution to make. And to me it is idiotic. If there is no God, then why waste your whole life talking...
... of Punjab, Baba Hrigri* -- he was not aware of me. And it was just a coincidence that in a conference... In Amritsar they have every year a Vedant* conference, world conference, and at least one hundred thousand people gather in the conference. It was just a coincidence that he spoke and I was to speak after him. And I criticized him point by point. The organizers were simply frozen to death...
..., because that man was respected in Punjab. Thousands will be ready to die for him. I was not known in Punjab at all, that was my first time to be in Amritsar. And I criticized him so totally, even on small points, that they were afraid that there is going to be a riot immediately. And I don't have not even a single person who knows me. An ancient Vedanta story he has said. The story is that ten blind men...
... promise but they cannot deliver the goods. And we have believed too long. Now nobody is willing even to believe. It simply gives frustration. Thirdly, the most important thing is the nuclear war hanging over the horizon. That makes the issue of transforming human consciousness absolutely urgent. Either you change or you die. And when there is such a choice... In ordinary conditions nobody wants to...
... change. Even those who are miserable, suffering, poor, even they don't want to change for the simple reason that they have become accustomed of their lifestyle. They are afraid that they will have to learn from ABC again a new lifestyle. Nobody wants to do that. But when the question comes, change versus death, then it is a totally different matter. It is not between one kind of society, economic...
... ordinary war. It is total war in which the victor and the defeated both are going to be finished. And not only that it will destroy humanity, it will destroy trees, birds, animals - anything that is living on the earth. It will destroy every possibility for life to continue in any form. This darkness of death has to be made very clear to the people. Then they can be ready for any change. And the change...
... were not even courageous enough to face me. They have committed almost every possible crime. But that's how all the religions have done. And it is done in such a way that the doer thinks he is doing something good. When Mohammedans force somebody on the point of the sword that, "Either become a Mohammedan or be ready to die," the person who is doing it does not think he is doing any harm...
... breasts are not possible. If these breasts were there humanity would die." The minister of education who was showing me around said, "Why?" I said, "Just see the roundness of the breast - the little child on this round breast... his nose will get closed, he will not be able to drink milk. Either he can drink milk or he can breathe, two alternatives are before him." And nature...
... of life and death. If cause and effect are put at a distance - in one life is the cause, in another life is the effect - then it is absolutely impossible. But it is a good consolation for people, for their misery, that they had committed evil acts. What evil acts? I don't see people committing evil acts in such a proportion that the whole humanity should be miserable. The reality is something...
... don't know anything. You are unnecessarily wasting your business, and you are becoming a burden to me because whenever I look at you.... Twenty-four hours a day you are sitting here, on my head, and I don't know any miracles. What to do?" The man said, "You cannot avoid me so easily. I have heard that you have been hiding those secrets. But if you are stubborn, I am also stubborn. I will die...
... have produced atomic energy not to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki but to help the whole of humanity to raise its standard of living. Without meditation the mind is negative, it is bound to be in the service of death. With meditation the master is there, and the master is absolute positiveness. In its hands the same mind, the same energy, becomes creative, constructive, life affirmative. So you cannot...
... one son: if you do not attain to awareness, the kingdom is going into somebody else's hands. You will be a beggar on the streets. So it is a question of life and death for you. Go to this man; he has been my master. Now he is very old, but I know that if anybody can teach you, he is the man. Tell him, 'My father is sick, old, can die any day. Time is short, and I have to become fully aware before he...
... a few times but found him always ready. He could not hit him with the sword because he could not find him unconscious, unalert. He was just alertness. It was a question of death - you cannot afford to be anything but alert. In three days' time the master could not find a single moment, a single loophole. And after the third day he called him and told him, "Now you can go and tell your father...
...;What are you doing? You will become a misfit." If you listen to this part, thinking that "I don't want to be unfit, I am not ready to be crucified or to be poisoned or to be stoned to death," then the other part says, "You are not man enough. You are a coward." You can neither go this way nor you can go that way. You are always on the crossroads, and the mind says all kinds...
... already ready for enlightenment. To go that high, to collect certain memories, means the person is ready to explode into the ultimate celebration. So both are possible; you just have to look at the quality of the memory. If it is ecstatic, meditative, then rejoice in it: it is connecting you with past lives of meditation, where you stopped because of death. From there you can grow. Suddenly you have...
... society is living in such a way that the lie has become the way of life. The better you can lie, the more logical you can make your lie appear, the more respected you will be. Lies bring respect, rewards, Nobel prizes. Truth brings death, crucifixion. So why should people bother about truth? Jesus would have been perfectly accepted as a rabbi, a respectable person with a great following. There would...
... can persuade him to bring his clothes for you. They will be simply without any comparison to what has ever existed or will ever exist again." God's clothes? The emperor could not believe it. But he thought, "What is the harm in it?" He said, "Remember, if you deceive me death will be the reward for it." The man said, "That I know; about that you need not be worried. But...
...!" And everybody was thinking, "My God, the king is completely naked - but millions of people see the clothes, so to go against these millions and say that the king is naked is absolutely absurd, it is just to be condemned. Maybe people will kill you, stone you to death: ?You are such a disgrace!' " Just a small child who had come with his father, and was sitting on his shoulders...
... richness I recognize, because anything other than the inner richness is going to be taken away by death. It is not yours; it belongs to the world. The only thing that belongs to you is your own consciousness, and that consciousness is asleep. Just allow me to wake it up. As far as your heart is concerned, you are right - I have taken it away long before. And when I take people's hearts, I don't take...
...." As we entered, the doctor not only got up, but he screamed. He screamed because he was not aware that I had put another man in there also. So while he was lying down there, the other man was getting up, going down, getting up, going down. The doctor was almost on the verge of death, because he was not aware that there was another man also; and the door was locked so he could not escape: it is...
... is being reflected. Get ready, and don't be afraid, because it is not your enemy, it is you; it is your very divine being. But there may be fear, because the moment you find your real being, your phony self will have to die, will have to disappear. And you have decorated it with so much care, educated it with so much trouble, have made it respectable, prestigious - all this will disappear, and the...
... is contained in yourself - all the joys and all the blissfulness and all the ecstasies. And then unselfishness will come just like your shadow follows you - because to have a dancing heart, to have God in your being, you have to share it. You cannot go on keeping it, like a miser, because miserliness in your inner growth is a death. The economics of inner growth is different from the outer...
... himself, birth is just like death - or even worse, because when you die you simply die. There is nothing much to it; you stop breathing. But when the child is born he starts breathing, he becomes alive, and he finds himself in a very strange situation: upside-down, head coming first. And he is losing big beautiful home. The womb has been so warm, so comfortable, that psychologists say man has been...
..., sitting, sleeping, the prayer continues like an undercurrent. He need not go to a temple to pray; only irreligious people go. But the larger part of humanity is full of fear, full of greed, full of anguish - the anguish that death is there standing. Any moment it can jump upon you, and you need a protector, an almighty protector. Just see the word "almighty", ponder over it. Man feels...
... come into the world alone and we will be leaving the world again alone. Between these two alonenesses, between birth and death, you are still alone; but you have not understood the beauty of aloneness, and hence you have fallen into a kind of fallacy - the fallacy of loneliness. To discover one's aloneness one has to go out of the crowd. Slowly, slowly as he forgets the world, all his awareness...
... their heights. Zarathustra starts "down- going," going back to the crowd. He has to deliver the message to humanity that you are suffering unnecessarily; you are being dependent unnecessarily; you are creating all kinds of imprisonments for yourself - just to feel safe and secure. But the only security and the only safety is in knowing yourself, because then even death is impotent. It cannot...
... miserable person has ever been crucified, ever poisoned, ever stoned to death. But to be blissful amongst miserable people is dangerous, because you are a height and they feel offended. You can see and they cannot. It is unbearable. They are dead and you are alive. You have to be punished. You have gone astray from the crowd. Are you not afraid of the punishment? 'YES, I RECOGNIZE ZARATHUSTRA. HIS EYES...
... LURKS IN HIS MOUTH.' If you look at people, they are disgusted with the whole of life and you cannot blame them. What have they got? Their whole life is nothing but a long-drawn-out tragedy. It is sickness unto death. They go on breathing, they go on living, they go on hoping. But those hopes always remain hopes. Their dreams are never fulfilled. As they grow older, they see their hopes shattering...
... coming of the superman. They want human beings unconscious, blind, groping in the dark, weak, afraid of death, afraid of God, greedy for rewards... listening to all kinds of nonsense these preachers go on telling them. And these preachers are not in any way superior consciousnesses; otherwise it would be impossible for them to do such stupid things. It happened one day.... In the middle of the night, a...
... relaxedness comes from his foresight. He knows what is going to happen; he is ready to respond. You cannot find him in a state of unreadiness. Even if death knocks on his doors he will welcome it with joy - because life he has known; now death is going to be a new adventure. THEN IT SHALL STAND BY THE SEA, GNARLED AND TWISTED AND WITH SUPPLE HARDINESS, A LIVING LIGHTHOUSE OF UNCONQUERABLE LIFE. YONDER...
... silence heard him shouting, "Save me!" He went to the side of the well and he said, "What is the point? What will you be doing if you are saved - the same repetitive life? It is better to die silently, that's what my master has taught me." The man said, "I don't want any philosophy at this moment. I am dying and you are talking philosophy!" The Buddhist monk said, "...
..., you will be scared to death. And if you report it, then nobody will believe that it can happen. It is impossible. Why don't animals laugh? Why can't trees laugh? There is a very deep cause for laughter. Only that animal can laugh which can get bored. Animals and trees are not bored. Boredom and laughter are the polar dualities, these are the polar opposites. They go together. And man is the only...
... would die first and this man has defeated us. We are laughing at our defeat and his victory. Also he lived with us for many years and we laughed together and we enjoyed each other's togetherness, presence. There can be no better way of giving him the last send off. We can only laugh. "But the whole village was sad. And when the dead monk's body was put on the funeral pyre, then the village...
