...,' said the king. The prince was full of sadness. He said, 'I will kill myself. If there is no truth beyond magic, then what is the point of going on living? I will kill myself, and I am saying to you, honestly.' The king, by magic caused death to appear. Death stood in the door and beckoned to the prince. The prince shuddered. He remembered the beautiful but unreal islands and the unreal but beautiful...
... princesses and then he said, 'Very well. I can bear it. If everything is magic and nothing is beyond magic, then I can accept death also.' 'You see my son,' said the king. 'You too now begin to be a magician.' Now this parable is very very significant. It is very easy to change one magic for another. It is very easy to change one ideology for another. It is very easy to become a Christian from a Hindu, or...
... something, his goal is not to destroy something; his goal is to help that which is already bubbling, radiating in his being. IT IS BETTER TO FEED ONE SKRIDAGAMIN THAN TO FEED ONE MILLION OF SROTAPANNAS. Buddha goes deeper and deeper. A skridagamin is one who will die and will come once again in life. His samadhi is just coming closer. Srotapanna is one who has jumped into the stream from the bank; a...
.... Existentialists have the right word for it: they say we have been thrown here. Thrown? Dumped! Expelled! Punished! And this existence is against us. And you can prove it: so many diseases - death is there; so many frustrations, failures. People go on saying man proposes and God disposes. So of course man is doomed, doomed from the very beginning, is born with great desires and without any possibility of any...
... never a millionaire. The more you chase, the more you feel the horizon is far away. The faster you run, the closer you come to your death, but never to any fulfillment. The shadow of death, the fear of death, the fear that you are going to miss again, destroys all contentment. The sixth is: right effort. Buddha says: Never strain and never be lazy. One has to balance between the two. Then there is...
... rabbi rowed over and called out, "Father, can I have your boat if you don't come up again?" We may not be so direct, but this is how we are: just waiting - how can we possess more? just waiting - how can our territory become a little bigger? Even if others suffer for it, even if they have to die for it, we are ready to sacrifice the whole world. For what? - for things which you will not be...
... able to carry to the other shore. Death will come and shatter all your arrangements. Buddha said: Before death takes things away from you, share them. At least there will remain some gratitude in people's hearts for you, at least they will remember you. Death will not be able to efface your memory completely. And by sharing you will become open. And by sharing you will become more trusting - and...
... know what life is, that you know how to live, but anyone who is in HIS state of awareness is in no state even to call you alive. Your morality is a sort of death: before death kills you, the society kills you. That is why Chuang Tzu's message is one of the most dangerous, the most revolutionary, the most rebellious - because he says: Allow nature! And don't give any goal to nature. Who are you to...
... in death. .... HIS MIND WAS MEANWHILE FREE AND WITHOUT CONCERN, WITH WHAT HE WAS DOING. NO APPLICATION WAS NEEDED - HIS MIND WAS PERFECTLY SIMPLE AND KNEW NO OBSTACLE. You need to learn everything because you have forgotten your nature completely. Now psychologists are proposing that there must be training for love, because people are by and by forgetting how to love. Much literature has come into...
..., but if on a rose bush, five flowers have grown and you don't pluck them, no more will come, and those five will soon die. If you pluck five, ten will come; if you pluck ten, twenty will come. The more you pluck, the more flowers the tree will give you. The same is the case when you are a unity: you have become a flowering tree. The more you give, the more you find will come; the more you share, the...
.... There is a prostitute: she is selling her body - that is her business. You don't have condemnation in you, otherwise you will be attracted towards her. It happened - a very old story - that a saint and a prostitute lived together. They were neighbors, and then they died. The saint was very famous. Death came and started trying to take the saint to the hell. And they died on the Fame day, the...
... prostitute also. The saint was surprised because the prostitute was taken on the road towards heaven. So he said, "What is this? There seems some misunderstanding. I am the one who should be led towards heaven. And this is a prostitute!" Death said, 'We know, but now if you want, we can explain you: there is no misunderstanding. There are the orders - that the prostitute has to be brought to...
... heaven and the saint has to be thrown into hell." The saint said, "But why?" Even the prostitute could not believe. She said, "Something must be wrong. I must be thrown in heaven? And he is a saint - a great saint. We worshipped him. Take him to heaven." Death said, "No, that's not possible, because he was a saint just on the surface, and he was thinking continuously of...
... perseverance comes to your effort. ALSO, MEDITATE ON THE INNER LIGHT WHICH IS SERENE, BEYOND ALL SORROW. This can be done only when you have attained a certain quality Of perceptivity. Then you can close the eyes and you can find a flame - a beautiful flame near the heart, a blue light. But right now you cannot see it. It is there, it has been always there. When you die, that blue light goes out of your body...
... is absorbed by the mother - now these are scientific facts - and when more oxygen is absorbed by the mother, the child cannot get the oxygen. Sometimes even death is possible; the child may die. The child remembers all these things. You also remember all these things; they are there, but because the ego was not there, they have not become a burden on you. An enlightened person remembers things just...
... will fall apart. You are the center and the crystallizing factor in it. When in hunger, one watches the hunger, the cooperation is not there. It is a temporary death. You are not supporting the body. When you are not supporting the body, how the body can feel hunger? - because the body cannot feel anything; the feeling is of your being. Hunger may be there in the body but the body cannot feel, it has...
.... Resurrection is not of the body, it is of the soul. Again one becomes like a child; again one is innocent, but this innocence is based, rooted in experience. If you die without becoming a child again, you lived your life in a futile way; you lived uselessly. You simply wasted the opportunity. And you will have to come back again - the whole will go on throwing again and again... This is the whole doctrine of...
... REALLY understand me, I am going to become your dangerous life. You will always be insecure if you have understood me. You will never ask for safety and security. You will abhor safety and security. You will think of them as enemies - they are. You will enjoy being in the Open, vulnerable to all that is possible in life. Yes, vulnerable to death too;'all' includes death too. A REAL life is encountering...
... death each moment. Only unreal, plastic lives are safe. No, I cannot say that, that I have got you safely under my wing and there is no way back. You can fall, you can fall from the very last rung. Unless you become Enlightened, there is a way back; you can go back. You can deny, you can betray, you can reject. You can fall into the misery again - from the very last rung also you can fall. Until and...
... be safe. Only in that witnessing will you become more and more blissful every day - not by repeating it! Only in that witnessing will you stop wavering. Only in that witnessing will you come to the center of your being - where death exists not, where only life abundant is, where one is drinking the nectar Saraha talks about. The sixth question: Question 7: WHAT IS IT EXACTLY THAT IS OBSTRUCTING MY...
... is no need to renounce it. The need to renounce arises only because you have not understood what greed is. The need to take a vow against sex is needed only because you have not understood what sex is. And the society does not allow you to understand it. The society helps you NOT to understand. The society has been avoiding the very subject of sex and death down through the centuries. These...
... with no fear... without fear, look into things deeply. Don't listen to what your so-called religious people go on teaching. They make you afraid: they don't allow you to look into sex, they don't allow you to look into death. They have exploited your fears tremendously. The only way to exploit a person is: first, to make him afraid. Once you are afraid, you are ready to be exploited. Fear is the...
..., how does it take possession of you, what it gives, and where does it lead? What happens in it and what happens out of it? Where do you arrive again and again making love? Do you arrive anywhere? These things have to be encountered. Tantra is an encounter with the reality of life. And sex is fundamental. So is death. They are the two most basic, fundamental chakras - MULADHAR and SWADHISTAN...
..., how can I be happy?' One lakh also happens, but you have not learned anything yet. Now you think that unless ten lakhs are there 'How can I be happy?' And so on and so forth you go... from one cave to another, from one birth to another, from one death to another! Man seems to be almost incapable of learning. Those who learn, only they know. Start learning. Be a little more alert. Let each experience...
... because of an impossible desire. People ask that which cannot be done. You want security for the future, which is not possible. You want absolute security for tomorrow - it cannot be guaranteed; it is not in the nature of life. An intelligent person knows that it is not in the nature of life - the future remains open. The bank can go bankrupt, the wife can escape with somebody else, the husband can die...
... greatest implication for a future world. Krishna has said: SWADHARME NADHANAM SHREYAH: it is good to die in your own self- nature, following your self-nature. PER DHARMO BAVAHA BAHA: somebody else's nature is very dangerous. Don't become imitators. Just be yourself. I have heard... Bill always wanted to go moose-hunting so he saved up enough money and went to the North Woods. There he was fitted out with...
... will not be able to recover - and passing with such dullness, as if only waiting for death. What has happened to so many people? Why don't they have the same freshness as the trees? Why doesn't man have the same song as the birds? What has happened to man? One thing has happened: Man has been imitating. Man has been trying to become somebody else. Nobody is at his own home. Everybody is knocking at...
... exhausted that there is nothing else to throw out. In that moment, suddenly, there is a contact; silence descends. Out of work is rest. Out of expression is silence. This is how God works. His ways are very irrational. Now, if you really want to be secure, you will have to live a life of insecurity. If you really want to be alive, you will have to be ready to die at any moment. This is God's illogic! If...
... fact, a dead person cannot die. That would be consistent. If some dead person dies, it is absolutely logical; but what happens is contradictory. A living person, life suddenly becomes death. If you look into existence -- and I am not a philosopher, I am simply existential, not even an existentialist, just existential, I see everywhere contradiction. Light cannot exist without darkness; darkness...
... becomes a Godman. Now it is possible Lazarus was Jesus Christ's friend. It can be managed very easily that his death is bogus, and Jesus revives him back to life, because Lazarus was not the only person who has died in Jesus's life. He was here for thirty-three years, in thirty-three years, thousands of people in Judea must have died. And if the man knew how to bring them back to life, then he was...
... ITSELF? A:* It is. It is a contradiction to call it a modern religion, or better, a religionless religion, which will make the contradiction more clear. But to me, existence allows contradictions. it is not logical; it is very illogical. In fact, existence depends on contradictions. What is life and death? Are not they contradictory? But both are going to happen to one person, to the same person. In...
