... are thinking to attain to heaven or to nirvana after death are very greedy people. They are not religious at all. Sufism does not believe in any fairy-tales of the other world, of heaven and hell. And it is not that heaven does not exist, but that is not the concern of the Sufi. The Sufi lives totally in the moment. His simplicity comes out of his understanding, not out of cultivation; he does not...
..., AND YOU WILL BE A KING. And this is the miracle, that when you become a slave you become the king. Why? And how? When you surrender to the ocean as a wave, you become the ocean. Separate from the ocean you are just a wave, continuously fighting and afraid of death. Separate from the ocean you are just a worry, an anguish, and nothing else. One with the ocean, there is no question of death. The wave...
... again. ... WHEN THE SCENT OF LIFE REACHES THEM FROM HIS SOUL. The great Sufi master, Jalaluddin Rumi, wrote these three lines as his own epitaph: Not more than three words, My whole life is condensed in these three words: I was raw, now I am cooked and burnt. This is the death that brings resurrection. I was raw, now I am cooked and burnt. Jalaluddin, the greatest Sufi, says, "These three words...
... lived in God, we ARE living in God. He is our womb: from eternity to eternity we never leave his womb. Still e cannot describe him, we still don't have the eyes which can see him. Hence the symbol of the third eye. These two eyes can see his world, these two eyes can see the without. These two eyes can see the duality of day and night, summer and winter, life and death, man and woman, positive...
... miracle that a man can drown, because water uplifts. You drown in your freak-out. You scream and shout, you open your mouth, you drink in water and take on more weight - and you drown. You cause your own death. A swimmer learns only this: Water uplifts! His trust in water becomes stronger. He understands that weight decreases in water. Our weight in water is much less than on land. You must have seen...
... telling you that you have become so stone hearted that you won't pay any attention to her unless she is ready to kill herself. She is only attracting your attention. This is very unseemly - that she has to use dying as the means to attract your attention. Man has certainly become exceptionally hard, has become stonelike. Women don't want to die, they want to live. When too much trouble comes on the path...
... blossoming is its strength; music, fragrance is its strength. Its weakness is its strength. It opens in the morning, and wilts by the evening - this is its strength. But it blooms. A rock never blooms, it just is. A rock is dead. The flower is alive - it will die because it has lived. A rock will never die, because it is already dead. Become tender. Call tears back again. Let them fill your eyes with song...
... and you are dragged along, and someone is whipping you from behind to keep you moving. The man who lives in culture is forcefully dragged along, dragged against his will. A religious person is dancing. Even when he approaches death he goes dancing. You are dragged even in life. You always experience that you are under compulsion. You always experience that you are missing something that others enjoy...
... big well. There are steel rods on top of the well. The dead body is put on those steel rods, and between the steel rods there are gaps. All around, there are big, ancient trees and thousands of vultures are sitting there, waiting for some poor Parsee to die -- the vultures need food every day; Parsees supply the food. The dead body of the Parsee is put on those rods on top of the well and the...
... natural cycles anywhere. For our whole lives we have been eating -- now it is time that we should be eaten. And anyway you are dead; why unnecessarily destroy good food for the vultures? Just go here in Bombay, you will see a beautiful scene -- you will not see it anywhere else in the whole world -- so many vultures together just waiting for poor Parsees to die, praying to God, "Finish someone...
... forget all about it" -- but you cannot forget about it. Nature has a beautiful arrangement: with each death, a thick layer of forgetfulness comes over your memories. You are carrying all the memories of all your lives. But a small human being finds it so difficult to live with a small conscious mind of one life -- if so many lives burst upon him, he is bound to be insane. It is a natural...
... don't believe man has yet become civilized. If man has become civilized, then there is no need for wars; if man has become civilized, then there is no need for discrimination between blacks and whites, men and women; if man has become civilized then there is no need for people to die because they have nothing to eat -- and there are people who are dying because they have too much to eat. In America...
..., thirty million people are dying from overeating, and thirty million people are dying because they have nothing to eat. And you call this world a civilized world? It is not even sane. And it cannot be just coincidence: exactly thirty million people overeating, knowing perfectly well that they are eating themselves to death, knowing perfectly well that thirty million people are on the streets dying...
... without food. Strange... sixty million people can be saved within a second, but these sixty million people will die. I have heard.... A man was very much worried because his wife was getting fatter and fatter and fatter. And women have greater capacity for becoming fat than men -- it is a biological privilege, because the woman has to be able to become pregnant, to become a mother; then for nine months...
... murder someone and he will murder -- and he will be punished. He may be sentenced to death, and he will not have any explanation to give. And nobody can touch you who hypnotized him, because nobody will ever know what you did in hypnosis, while he was asleep. Hypnosis can be misused. Everything great can be misused. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why most of the countries and cultures have tried to...
... have to have faith in it. I don't have faith in it. I know all about it -- it is nonsense. But if people are healed, I keep my mouth shut. I don't say anything to anybody, but one thing is certain, it won't help me. I will die if I take those medicines -- which cured innumerable people, even of tuberculosis! So don't be surprised, and don't tell anybody anything, because if I survive I will have to...
... continue my practice. If I die then you can tell the truth." But the truth is, you need faith. It is the faith that changes the mind and affects the body - - but not vice versa. The body is not superstitious, nor is it faithful; it is simply natural. It doesn't care about anything else. There used to be a sect in America... I think it still survives in a few places, but in the beginning of this...
..., he starts glorifying his own slavery - his religion, his nation, his race, his color. These are his slaveries, but he starts glorifying them. As an individual he belongs to no crowd. Every child is born as an individual, but rarely does a man die as an individual. My work is to help you meet your death with the same innocence, with the same integrity, with the same individuality as you have met...
... your birth. Between your birth and your death your dance should remain a conscious, solitary reaching to the stars; alone, uncompromising - a rebellious spirit. Unless you have a rebellious spirit, you don't have a spirit at all. There is no other kind of spirit available. And you can rest assured that I am not going to stop! That's my only joy - to make as many people as possible free from their...
.... That's where we had to take it. And we have celebrated the death of the religion - a religion which was not my idea. I trust in sannyasins remaining individuals, I trust in their growth and movement; but I don't like the idea of them becoming like Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists. That's what was done while I was in isolation. In my absence, Sheela gathered around herself a fascist group and managed...
... that he forgets that he is committing a crime. It is a tribute to the beauty of the woman. She has proved to be almost like a drug, and the man has proved to be completely in her power. He is ready to commit a crime for which in different countries he will have different kinds of punishments. For example, in the Middle East, death will be the punishment. He has even forgotten that death will be the...
... circumstantial evidence, not even any technical loophole - but he was sentenced to death because he was the uncle of one of the terrorists who murdered Srimati Indira Gandhi. His only crime was to be the uncle of the man. One simply cannot believe that to be an uncle to a terrorist is enough to hang him. The Supreme Court has rejected the appeal to reconsider, without giving any evidence or any reasoning why...
.... It seems the whole country has been castrated. But I protest with my whole heart! In the first place, death is not a right way of punishment, even to the person who has murdered somebody. This is the law of the jungle, an eye for an eye. It is not justice. The man has murdered somebody, and you murder the man! Can blood wash your hands which are full of blood? And as far as talking is concerned...
... opposition who is in power, and he does not belong to this opposition party. To take refuge and support from them he felt was undignified, and he was hoping that he would have so many friends who would come to help him. Nobody has come to help him. Finally he accepted - this is even more humiliating - the government's offer to him. Until his death he can occupy a certain bungalow. But that bungalow is...
..., nor defeat is possible. What is possible is only a mutual conflict leading to the birth of an individual utterly depleted of strength, and finally to death. Since, in this manner all the faculties of the individual conspire together to bring about self-destruction, life becomes ugly, uninspiring, and futile. Beauty, Truth and blessedness are attainable only if life were to be engaged in the creative...
.... Even if one learns all the secrets of one's own body, one can easily secure the key to the endless mysteries of the Supreme Soul. How small is this body but how many wonderful mysteries lie embedded in it! The mind is hidden in the body. The soul is hidden in the mind. The Supreme Soul is hidden in the soul. A sage was about to die. He took leave of his disciples and devotees present there. He...
... the receptacle of limitless potentialities. Those who are hostile to it clash with these potentialities and seek annihilation at their own hands. They say that they censure and oppose the mind for its fickleness and unsteadiness. But inconstancy is a sign of life. Those who are afraid of life and eagerly wait for death, welcome sluggishness, since they see peace and restfulness in it. But let me...
... woman who is living a posthumous life. In nature, there are authentic men - raw, rooted in the earth - but you will not find your gentlemen. They are the hypocrites who have died long ago and are now just breathing, eating, dragging themselves from the cradle to the grave. If they were really alive, they would have known the secret that exists between birth and death. Almustafa simply refused to...
... going to happen simultaneously. On the one hand, death; on the other hand, a resurrection. EVEN AS HE IS FOR YOUR GROWTH SO IS HE FOR PRUNING. You have grown so many ugly things in your life. They have to be pruned - and that pruning is not against your growth. In fact, those ugly things that you have gathered around yourself - jealousy, domination, continuous effort to have the upper hand - will not...
... whiteness is basically a great synthesis of all the colors of life. And if you remove all the colors, then there is blackness. Blackness is negativity, blackness is no. Blackness is death. Whiteness is positivity, whiteness is yes, whiteness is God. Whiteness is love. HE KNEADS YOU UNTIL YOU ARE PLIANT; AND THEN HE ASSIGNS YOU TO HIS SACRED FIRE, THAT YOU MAY BECOME SACRED BREAD FOR GOD'S SACRED FEAST...
