... would die. Moses must have been a tremendously powerful leader that he convinced these slaves, "You can drop out of this slavery, you are not made for this. On the contrary, you are a master race; you are the chosen few of God." This was such a great quantum leap - from being a slave to becoming a master race. Moses did a miracle! But it is easy to convince people, to give them dreams...
... accept him as the messiah, for a simple psychological reason: to accept somebody as a messiah means dropping the hope for the future. Then there is no tomorrow. Then there is no more utopia. They had to crucify Jesus just to save their hope. The hope was far more significant than crucifying a Jew who was going to die anyway. But he should not be allowed to disturb the hope of the whole race. So it will...
..., created by him just to defame Makkhali Gosal - that he died in a prostitute's home and that before death he told the prostitute, "I am not the real tirthankara, Mahavira is. But I was egoistic and jealous of him, hence I continued the whole of my life to fight for it. But now, at my dying moment, I want to declare the truth. And only you are here, so I am saying it to you; you declare it to others...
... religion is something utterly false, that there is no God, no spirit, no life except matter, that what you think is your consciousness is an epiphenomenon - just a by-product. The moment you die everything dies. I tell you you are born and you will certainly die but something in you was before your birth, and something in you is there which will remain after your death. And that something is life. Life...
...; said Nasrudin, "how in the name of the Holy Prophet are they going to get a coffin down the crooked stairs in this house?" Now on the surface he was trying to encourage the man, but deep down he knew that he was going to die, and deep down an undercurrent: how are they going to get the coffin down? -- the staircase is so crooked. Truth has a tendency to reveal itself. Just be a little alert...
... time impatiently hoping for and eagerly awaiting a message from Berkowitz. Then one year after the day of his death, Berkowitz spoke to Michaelson. It was late at night; Michaelson was in bed. "Michaelson, Michaelson," echoed the voice. "Is that you, Berkowitz?" "Yes." "What is it like where you are?" "We have breakfast and then we make love, then we eat...
... submission is. It is one of the keys, but people are very afraid to use it -- because if you surrender, submit, you are lost. It is death-like. It is as if one is committing suicide. So people go on doing other things and they call it submission, surrender. To have this understanding, this glimpse that all that you have up to now been thinking of as surrender, as submission is not the real thing, is a...
... poor man can have. The rich man becomes hopeless. He knows now the money will go on increasing and nothing is going to happen -- just death, only death. He has tasted all kinds of things; now he only feels a tastelessness. A kind of death has already happened, because he cannot conceive of how to fulfill that desire for expansion. But desire in itself is not wrong. The desire for money, the desire...
... choice -- and each moment the choice has to be faced; each moment you are on the crossroads. Millions of people decide not to grow. They remain seeds; they remain potentialities, they never become actualities. They don't know what self-realization is, they don't know what self-actualization is, they don't know anything of being. Utterly empty they live, utterly empty they die. How can they relate? It...
..., but it has no life. Death is secure, life is insecurity. One who really wants to live has to live in danger, in constant danger. One who wants to reach to the peaks has to take the risk of getting lost. One who wants to climb the highest peaks has to take the risk of falling from somewhere, slipping down. The greater is the longing to grow, the more and more danger has to be accepted. The real man...
... in life, all life becomes meaningless. Then they simply wait for death to come and deliver them. It is a delicate problem; how to solve it? Monks have not been able to solve it. On the contrary, they created many perversions in the world. All the perversions that are condemned by your so-called saints are created by those same people. The first idea of homosexuality arose in the monasteries...
..., IN MY INTERVIEWS, THREE KOANS: "THE TRUE FACE BEFORE FATHER AND MOTHER WERE BORN," "THE HEART, THE BUDDHA," AND "NO HEART, NO BUDDHA." FOR ONE FACING THE TURBULENCE OF LIFE-AND-DEATH, THESE KOANS CLEAR AWAY THE SANDY SOIL OF WORLDLY CONCERNS AND OPEN UP THE GOLDEN TREASURE WHICH WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING, THE AGELESS ROOT OF ALL THINGS. HOWEVER, IF AFTER GRAPPLING...
... which is the buddha. And the third, "NO HEART, NO BUDDHA." These three koans he has used. There are a thousand and one koans -- anything which is insoluble, which looks beautiful but when you start working on it, you find that you have come to the end of the road; it does not go anywhere. FOR ONE FACING THE TURBULENCE OF LIFE-AND-DEATH, THESE KOANS CLEAR AWAY THE SANDY SOIL OF WORLDLY...
... blink of an eye you are on the other shore. FOR ONE FACING THE TURBULENCE OF LIFE-AND-DEATH, THESE KOANS CLEAR AWAY THE SANDY SOIL OF WORLDLY CONCERNS AND OPEN UP THE GOLDEN TREASURE WHICH WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING, THE AGELESS ROOT OF ALL THINGS. A very simple device, if done rightly, can open up the cosmic treasure -- your ultimate home. HOWEVER, IF AFTER GRAPPLING WITH A KOAN FOR THREE OR FIVE...
... meditative -- not even prayerful but meditative -- because in prayer there is a duality: I and Thou, the devotee and the deity. With the sixth, even that duality disappears. Sleep is profound... as profound as death. In fact, death is nothing but a great sleep, and sleep is nothing but a small death. With the sixth, sleep penetrates to your deepest core... and then the work is finished. When you come out...
... night: both are two parts of one whole. Life and death: both are two parts of one whole existence. Object is out, subject is in -- you are neither out nor in. This is very difficult to understand because ordinarily it is said, "Go within." That is just a temporary phase. One has to go even beyond that. Without and within -- both are out. You are that who can go without and who can come...
... of anybody to his sad plight, so he resigned himself to a tragic fate. The record of his approaching death was scribbled on the wall of the car in these words: "I am becoming colder. Still colder now. Nothing to do but wait. These may be my last words." And they were. When the car was opened, the searchers were astonished to find him dead. There was no physical reason for his death. The...
... who is waiting for you. Beauty has no awareness of marriages, of husbands, of wives; it knows no limitations. But society cannot live this way, because society is not yet mature enough to allow absolute freedom. Only in absolute freedom can your sensitivity be allowed to have its full growth. Everybody is born with sensitivity, but everybody dies dull. In fact, long before a man's death, he has died...
... unknown source of existence and life." Perhaps it is enough to enjoy them and not to ask the meaning. Those who have asked the meaning are lost; they will never find the meaning. And while they are searching for the meaning, life is slipping by. They will not find meaning. They will only find death. What Kahlil Gibran is saying is exactly the same: Let beauty be your life. Let beauty be in your...
... a man and a woman. And naturally, she started torturing her, to such a point that the girl stopped eating, stopped moving out of the house, was sitting in her room. Her mala was taken away. She has one of my pictures; she was keeping it in the room and meditating. But the mother was puzzled. She wanted her to get married, but the girl said that marriage is not for her. Seeing that she would die...
... experience. He has not much time, but still time enough to say a few words which will be remembered with the sadness and with the glory and the beauty of his departure. It is not a death; he is going back home. But he has to say a few things which were not possible to say before - not that he was not prepared, but there was nobody to listen to them. Hearing that he is going, the whole city of Orphalese has...
... reason that a strange woman sleeping in the same room... who knows what her intentions are? Just a knife and he can be finished. This man created the second world war, which killed six million people in all; a man who was so afraid of death killed six million people. On the surface you may not find any relationship between the two, but just go a little deeper, and you will find the relationship. By...
... killing people he was proving to himself, "I am immortal. Everybody else dies...." Even though six million people were killed, his fear was not gone. He married just three hours before he was going to take poison and die, because the enemies were winning. It is a strange story that no general of Adolf Hitler could say to him, "On a certain front we are losing." He would kill that...
