... from here -- it is not me!" People get fixed ideas -- and very soon. Ordinarily it goes perfectly well, because you meet only dead people who are not changing, who go on saying the same thing their whole life just like a parrot. They are consistent people; they have all your respect. I seem to you self-contradictory, inconsistent, for the simple reason that I have decided not to die before I die...
... monk had said something almost sacrilegious: that if it was in his power he would declare me the twenty-fifth tirthankara. He was so infatuated with the book that he said that he had never understood things which the book had made him understand, and he was happy that he had found it before his death. He came to see me; it must have been nearabout six in the evening when he came. The daughter of the...
... that you could turn it on or turn it off. There is no switch, so from birth to death it continues. You will be surprised that the people who understand computers and who understand the human brain have a very strange idea. If we take out the brain from the skull of a human being and keep it alive mechanically, it goes on chattering in the same way. It does not matter to it that it is now no longer...
..., then the brain would go on functioning. It doesn't matter whether Albert Einstein is alive or not; that brain will continue to think about the theory of relativity, about stars and about theories. The idea is that just as people donate blood and people donate eyes before they die, people should start donating their brains too so that their brains can be kept. If we feel that they are special brains...
..., very qualified -- and it is sheer wastage to let them die -- then we can transplant them. Some idiot can be made an Albert Einstein, and the idiot will never know -- because inside the skull of man there is no sensitivity; you can change anything and the person will never know. Just make the person unconscious and change anything you want to change in his brain -- the whole brain you can change...
... is one of the most basic problems. To solve it, one has to solve many things because everything is interconnected. If you are afraid of death you will be afraid of sex. If you are afraid of darkness you will be afraid of women. And if you are afraid of sex, that simply shows that you are afraid of life. So sex is just a focusing of many problems - afraid of life, afraid of death, afraid of darkness...
... stake there. Once you have controlled sex, you have controlled the body, you have controlled life; you have controlled death. Everything is controlled and you are the master. But this never happens. It cannot happen because the mind itself is nothing but an instrument of sex. This is the thing to be understood. The mind exists for the sexual energy but not vice versa. It is an extension of sexual...
... dances in the waves of the ocean, he dances in the dancing trees in the sun, he dances with the stars. His heart responds to the fragrance of the flowers, to the song of the birds, to the silences of the night. Devotion is not a path. Devotion is the death of the personality. That which is mortal in you, you drop of your own accord; only the immortal remains, the eternal remains, the deathless remains...
... world in those days. Under Akbar, India was the greatest land; there was immense money available, but Akbar spent everything. He wanted the capital to be complete before his death. But seeing that it seemed to be impossible, that the capital would take at least forty years more to be absolutely complete, he decided, "At least while I am alive, half of the capital - particularly the offices of the...
... their quotation was less, so why waste money? And anyway one has to die, today or tomorrow. Goldberg is thinking the way any economist, any mathematician would think. To you, he will look a little mad. But you will find these kinds of people all around the world. Just remember one thing: you have to make it a point that the only criterion of sanity is to remain blissful, whatsoever the cost. It may...
...: BELOVED MASTER, I BROUGHT MYSELF TO YOUR DOORSTEP AND THEN TRIED TO RUN AWAY, BUT YOU WOULD NOT LET ME ESCAPE. NOW, SO MANY BELOVED FRIENDS AND FELLOW TRAVELERS HAVE HUGGED ME AND SPOKEN OF FEELING YOUR LOVE FOR ME WITHIN THEMSELVES, AND SO MANY FELT YOU DISSOLVE THEIR QUESTIONS IN MINE. WHEN I LET THE MIND DIE IN TEARS THAT AROSE FROM THE HEART OF MY BEING, FOR A MOMENT, EVEN IN THE SOUND OF THE WIND...
... matter. Modern physics has declared - without declaring the death of matter - that there is no matter at all. With the disappearance of matter and with the death of God, only one energy remains in the whole cosmos. Now time and space cannot be two. They have to be expressions of one energy. The mystics have simply expressed the oneness of all. Physicists go into detail. Albert Einstein, especially, was...
... crucifixion. It is beautiful to die on the path of truth, it is ugly to survive through compromising. Each compromise means you have fallen from the truth into the ditch of lies. What else can a compromise be? I have come across the news that the Dutch Government has made a commission of inquiry to investigate 'impartially' about sects. Now, this is sheer stupidity! How can they inquire impartially? And the...
... he is living, when the truth is breathing, then it is a cult - it has to be condemned. And when the Master is dead... and with the Master's death the truth disappears, because truth needs an embodiment. It is an experience; it has to exist in the person who has realized it. When the person is no more, the truth is no more. If Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Zarathustra, Mohammed, while they are alive are...
... not really committing suicide, because he will be born again; he will have a new body that's all, a new model. But the person who goes against his own inner experience is committing a far deeper suicide - he is destroying his very soul. It is better to suffer; it IS BEAUTIFUL to suffer on the path of truth. Even death on the path of truth has a beauty of its own. And these governments are going to...
..., otherwise how can you suck their blood? From where is the blood going to come? They should not die, they should be kept alive! To keep them alive, go on giving them a little bit in donations; then they ARE alive and you can go on sucking them. Lao Tzu says to remain in a let-go. It is beautiful for the inner growth, but not good for the outside world. Let-go means no struggle, no revolution, no rebellion...
... months passed, and lo and behold! the rowboat reached Israel. On the way into the mooring, one old Jewish garment-worker said to the captain, "Excuse me, sir, I have never traveled this way before - how much should I tip the guy with the whip?" Old habits die hard! Sangam Lal Pandey, if you want to serve the poor, I feel sorry for you - but okay! A minister had a habit of preaching on...
... mother used to cut my hair, I often wished I might be bald." Fifteenth: Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If you enjoy it, you can do it again tomorrow... if you're young enough. And the last: The man condemned to die in the electric chair asked his friend Murphy if he had any parting words of wisdom for him. Whereupon the great Murphy replied, "Yes, don't sit down."...
...! It is necessary to reach Delhi - there is no meaning in life without that." This is the type of fever we create in the minds of children. This fever of ambition is so high that the child runs like mad. This is what we call the speed of life. Can this speed liberate you? No, it can lead you to death but not to liberation. Most of us only die in this process, we don't become liberated. The path...
... enters death, not life. But the dog completed his journey - he had the passion to run to Delhi and there were dogs all around to make him run! We are doing the same thing to our children: "Go to Delhi!" All the people around you go on chasing you; your parents chase you in childhood, and your wife when you are an adult. When you are old, your children are after you, "Go on! Go to Delhi...
... up to a point, but if it becomes a question of life and death, then there is a sudden outburst of intelligence in ordinary people. You would never have expected it. The people who are in power are not going to the people of wisdom, ever. Power corrupts so deeply and gives such a big ego that even to ask advice becomes impossible. The revolution is going to happen not through the powerful people but...
... marriage is nothing but licensed prostitution. This is ugly. Except for love there should be no other thing between two persons. In the villages, in the mountains, in the communes, the woman will have a similar kind of work to the man. She will not be financially dependent on man; she will be producing, she will be creative. And let the cities die. It happened many times in the past - it can happen again...
... to give them to him because he was creating too much trouble for her. Just to console him, she gave him those two keys. And I don't see that she was very much hurt by his death. Perhaps deep down she wanted it. He was not the man she wanted to replace her; her elder son was the person that she wanted to take her place. But whoever had all those secrets would be the prime minister. This is how, for...
... changing your tactics. The ego employs every type of strategy - for the ego it is a life-and-death problem. It will deceive you, it will deceive you continuously. And the ego is a perfect rationalist. When it deceives it gives you reasons. You cannot argue with it. And if you try to argue you will be defeated. Hence, the supremacy of trust and faith. Only a faithful one can surrender. And only a faithful...
... accident, and in this accident there is no possibility. Between birth and death, if you can at the most manage somehow to exist, that's enough. Logic is suicidal. If you go with it, finally it will give you the key to get out of life. Finally it will say that suicide is the most logical step to be taken, because life is meaningless. What are you doing here? Repeating the same routine? In the morning...
... dying, many were crying and weeping. Only a few were blissfully sitting around - only a few. Those were the peakers who were sitting blissfully; they had become one with the source. They had become one with the Buddha; the disciple and the master had disappeared long before and now there is going to be no death. Only a few - a Mahakashyap, a Sariputta, were sitting silently, enjoying. Even Ananda...
