... I don't teach because this peace is the peace of death. I teach you living peace. I would like you to pass through the chaos and transcend it - rather than escaping from it. Escaping is not going to really change you. You have to pass through these situations. [Your girlfriend] is almost crazy. She can drive you crazy! But that is the beauty of this relationship: if you go with her, either you...
..., deeper, more in tune, and one day suddenly it happens when two hearts meet in absolute trust, with no shadow of doubt, you have tasted for the first time what love is. Otherwise as I see it, millions of people die without knowing anything about love. They may have lived with many women, many men; they may have children, families; they may have a so-called good family life - but they have not known love...
.... You have to overcome it, you have to transcend it. You have to be beyond darkness, and beyond light also. When consciousness goes beyond darkness and light, the duality ends and nonduality begins. Then that one is seen who is neither light nor darkness, neither night nor day, neither life nor death, who always is, and is beyond all dualities. You face a final conflict with light before that...
... that objectless world, then Kabir, Mohammed, the Sufi mystics, the Baul mystics, the Jaina mystics, begin to dance, declaring what we call light to be only darkness. Aurobindo has written, "Once I had seen within, it became clear that the thing which I had understood to be light was darkness. When I looked within I saw that the thing which I had considered to be life was in fact death." It...
... represents death. Water reaches the ocean one day but the rock goes on remaining where it is. The rock cannot be adventurous: it has no desire to search, to seek. The water is constantly searching for the vast, the oceanic. The rock is very arrogant, egoistic. Water is very polite, egoless; and that's its power. If there is a clash between the water and the rock, for the moment it may seem that the rock is...
... becomes an engineer, and then he thinks all is finished. He becomes identified with being an engineer. Then his whole life he is just an engineer. And there were millions of things available. But he moves only on one track, becomes bored. Is fed up. Is tired, wearied. Goes on dragging. Waits only for death. What meaning can there be? Have more interests in life. Don't be always a businessman. Sometimes...
... play too. Don't be just a doctor or an engineer, or a headmaster, or a professor - be as many things as possible! Play cards, play the violin, sing a song, be an amateur photographer, a poet.... Find as many things as possible in life, and then you will have richness. And meaning is a by-product of richness. I have heard a very meaningful story about Socrates: Socrates, while awaiting death in prison...
..., was haunted by a dream that kept urging him, "Socrates, make music!" The old man felt he had always served art with his philosophizing. But now, spurred on by that mysterious voice, he turned fables into verse, indited a hymn to Apollo, and played the flute. In the face of death, philosophy and music briefly went hand in hand, and Socrates was as blissful as never before. He had never...
... played on the flute. Something inside him persisted, "Socrates, make music!" Just in the face of death! It looked so ridiculous. And he had never played, he had never made music. A part of his being had remained suffocated. Yes, even a man like Socrates, had remained one- dimensional. The denied part insisted, "Enough of logic - a little music will be good, will bring balance. Enough of...
... God can move hand-in-hand. Remember, words become useless after a certain time. Not only useless, but sometimes dangerous, harmful. The same words which used to mean much become meaningless. The same words which were very significant go out of-date after a time; then they lose meaning.Words also are born and die. 'God the Father' has died - the word, the metaphor. 'God the Beloved' still can ring...
... things. They are unnecessary, they don't lead you to any understanding. Question 5: WHY DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT MAN'S STATE WITH METAPHORS SUCH AS LAMENESS, DEAFNESS, BLINDNESS, DRUNKENNESS, SLEEP AND DEATH? You ask why? Just observe yourself and you will find all these things there - lameness... A man is lame if he has not yet reached God. What use are your legs if they have not led you to God? What...
... outside God. So we are born in him, we breathe in him. We breathe him, we eat him, we love him, we are loved by him, we tight with him, we quarrel with him; we are young in him and we become old in him. And one day we die in him as one day we were born in him. You must be blind because you don't see him and you go on asking 'Where is God?' And you ask: WHY DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT MAN'S STATE WITH...
... METAPHORS SUCH AS LAMENESS, DEAFNESS, BLINDNESS, DRUNKENNESS, SLEEP AND DEATH? This life is not life. It cannot be called life yet because joy has not happened. What kind of life is this? Maybe just a preparation, a rehearsal for the real life, but the real has not happened because it does not show in the glow of your being. That splendour is not there, present within you, that aura does not surround you...
... population from growing, and if you wait for the masses to understand and if you wait for them to be educated, then it is not going to happen, ever. That's what angered Indians. Hindus, Mohammedans, everybody was angered. They thought their freedom was being taken away. It is not a question of freedom or no freedom now. It is a question of life and death! The country is moving every day towards the abyss...
... something. If a child is born, then two are needed, man and woman. Two are needed everywhere. Electricity needs the positive and the negative. Even life needs death as the opposite. So if you look into life, everything is dual; two are needed. But beyond the two there is also a state, the transcendental, where two are not needed. It is called anahat naad: unstruck sound, one hand clapping. That sound is...
..., but you have become accustomed to that too. And what does it matter if you die a few hours earlier than you would have died without smoking? What are you going to do here? What have you done? So what is the point - whether you die Monday or Tuesday or Sunday, this year, that year - what does it matter?" He said, "Yes, that is true, it doesn't matter." Then I said, "Forget about...
... will die without you, you are the only person in my world, you are my life" - because he expects you to say it, not because you are feeling it. If you are feeling it, then it has beauty, then it is a real rose. If you are simply pretending, massaging his male ego, buttressing him because you have some ends to fulfill through him, then it is an artificial flower, a plastic flower. And you are...
... give you as many mustard seeds as you want, but the condition will not be fulfilled because so many people have died in our house. And woman, don't be mad! Buddha has played a trick on you. You will not find a single house on the whole earth." But she hoped, "Maybe... who knows? There may be some house that has not known death." And she went around and around the whole day. By the...
... evening a great understanding had dawned on her: "Death is part of life; it happens. It is not something personal, it is not something like a personal calamity that has happened to me."With that understanding she went to Buddha. He asked, "Where are the mustard seeds?" And she smiled... and she said, "You did it!" She fell at his feet and said, "Initiate me. I would...
... like to know that which never dies. I don't ask for my child back, because even if he is given he will die again. So what is the point? Teach me something so that I can know inside myself that which never dies." Now this is a totally different story. Jesus' miracle looks more miraculous because the earth was still poor. Can't you see the point? The East is turning Christian and the West is...
... that no salesmen are allowed in. If anybody tries to enter he will be prosecuted. A friend asked him, "Why are you so much against salesmen?" He said, "They bore me to death." The friend said, "That's true, that's my experience too. From where did you get this signboard?" And Mulla laughed and said, "That is the only practical thing I have ever purchased from a...
... a tree and bring the roots to the sunlight: they will die, they can exist only in the darkness of the soil. Your motives also exist only in the darkness of your unconsciousness. So the only way to transform your love is to bring all the motivations from the unconscious into the conscious. Slowly slowly, those motives will die. And when love is unmotivated, then love is the greatest thing that can...
... becomes stubbornly antagonistic. The husband wants to become a sannyasin: the wife becomes absolutely antagonistic. The fear is that something new is there and it may disturb the arrangement. And people want to live in security, even if security means death. People want to live in comfort, even if comfort simply means nothing but dragging your life. Security, comfort, convenience, have become ultimate...
... as God, your whole vision of life will change. Then you will not go to worship in a temple or a church or a mosque: then love will be your worship. And then you will not be afraid of existence, because it cares for you. Fear will disappear. You will not be afraid even of death, because death can take away only that which is not needed any more, but it cannot destroy you. Existence is your mother...
... I been doing? I have wasted my life." With that realization - "I have wasted my life in accumulating unnecessary things, and now all those beautiful days are gone and only death is there in the future" - a great frustration arises. One has failed, tremendously failed. They say nothing succeeds like success, but I say nothing fails like success. The moment you have succeeded, then...
... life becomes nothing but an endeavor to create some security. And then comes death and destroys all that we have created. All our palaces prove to be nothing but palaces made of playing-cards. And all our great boats prove to be nothing but paper boats. Our whole life is made of the stuff called dreams - because we are asleep. Wake up! YOU HAVE BROKEN FAITH, YET STILL HE KEEPS HIS FAITH WITH YOU: HE...
... seek, there is a possibility of finding if you don't seek, there is no possibility. If you start moving then one day or other you will reach the ocean, as every river does. But if you have become very, very much afraid of movement, of dynamism, of life, of change, then you become a small pond. By and by you die. You become more and more dirty, dull, stale, stagnant. Then your whole life is ill. Then...
...-service. To face a real Master is to face death and to face life - they are both to-gether, always together. To worship a dead Master - a Jesus, a Buddha - requires nothing from you. You can bow down at the feet of an image and you remain the same. Bowing down at the feet of a real Master your ego has to be put aside. Your ego will create a thousand and one difficulties for you to bow down and surrender...
..., singing, women and men holding hands - what kind of ashram is this?' Their problem I can understand. They may have gone to Vinoba's ashram or to Shivananda's ashram. Ashrams have existed in India for centuries - life-negative ashrams where only dull and dead people gather together, old, on the verge of death, tired, bored, finished, just somehow pulling themselves along, against life, against every kind...
... that night? But try to understand. He is the perfect robopath. He says, 'I did my duty' - as you do your duty. You go to the office and you do your duty. You are a clerk and you have to issue an order for somebody to be crucified, sentenced to death - you don't feel anything. You simply type the order, you send it to the right person to sign, you come back home, you take your dinner, you love your...
