... quality as the Upanishads. It is also a strange document because in such a small space it says so much. It is really made of sutras - just a few hints. Nothing is said very solidly: just a few hints, fingers pointing to the moon. It is so small that after Adlai Stevenson's death in 1965 it was discovered that he had intended to send out the DESIDERATA as a Christmas card to his friends. It can be...
... WITH ALL PERSONS." But AS FAR AS POSSIBLE... That does not mean that I have to be absolutely on good terms. I am on good terms with everybody, but AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. Whenever the question of the essential arises, then it is not a question of being good or bad, it is a question of life and death. Then I can rebel, then I can fight back, then I can sacrifice everything. And the advice of the...
... goes on preparing, he goes on preparing. I have heard about a man who collected millions of books. He had no time to read because it took so much time to collect. He collected and collected - his library became the best in the world - but he had not read anything. Then came his death, and doctors said, 'You will not be surviving more than one week.' He said, 'But this is unjust! For my whole life I...
... have been collecting and waiting that one day I will retire and read, but now there is no time. What to do?' Somebody suggested, 'You can hire scholars. They can read all the books and in a summary form, before you die, they can give you the gist.' So scholars gathered, they read all the books, and they prepared short notes, but still it was too big a thing. Again it was like a Bible; and the man was...
... will be shattering - I have to be. Sometimes I have to be merciless, because that is the only way to help you, that is the only way to destroy you, annihilate you, and give you an opportunity to be reborn. As you are you have to disappear. As you are you have to die, only then can the new arise out of you. The ego has to disappear for your real being to be. The mind has to cease for God to be. The...
... door, not only for himself but for others also. The society was afraid. Society wants people almost dead. Only one requirement is needed of living people by the society and that is that they should be efficient. They should work hard, produce more, be obedient, good citizens, live comfortably, and die silently. They should not create any noise in the world. They should not even sing a song. They...
... opposite pole of celebration. You blame. You cannot celebrate. You have grudge against everything. Everything is wrong and you are negative, and you cannot flow, and you cannot relate, and you cannot allow anybody to flow into you. You have become an island - closed completely. This is a living death. Life is only when you are open and flowing, when you are unafraid, fearless, open, vulnerable...
... back." We tried in every way to persuade him. At one point he became so afraid he stopped the car, got out of the car and said, "No! Now I cannot move from here. It is dangerous," he said. "It may not be dangerous for you; you may be ready to die. But I am not I want to go back." By chance one of my friends who is also a sardar and was a big police official, he was also...
... millions of germs are not being carried into! Who knows cancer is not coming through the breath! If you really doubt, you cannot even breathe. You cannot live a single moment; you will die immediately. Doubt is suicide. But you never doubt perfectly, so you linger on. You linger on; you somehow drag on. But your life is not total. Just think: if total doubt is suicide, then total trust will be the...
..., and Al-Hillaj was smiling, and he said towards the sky "Look, you cannot deceive me." So somebody asked "What do you mean? To whom you are talking?" He said, "I am talking to my God: in whatsoever form you come you cannot deceive me. I know you well. Now you have come as death. You cannot deceive me." A man of trust cannot be deceived. In whatsoever form, whosoever...
... all over, then when one dies, why don't others die also?" This is simple. If there are a thousand and one mirrors in the room, you can destroy one mirror: one reflection will disappear - not others. You destroy another: another reflection will disappear - not others. When one person dies, only one reflection dies. But the one who is being reflected remains undying; it is deathless. Then another...
... your consciousness to a focus, to who you are. Differentiate between the objects. Hunger arises - this is an object. Then you are satisfied, you have eaten well, a certain well-being arises - that too is an object. Morning comes - that too is an object. Evening comes - that too is an object. You remain the same - hunger or no hunger. Life or death, misery or happiness, you remain the same watcher...
... father and mother, and so on and so forth. It goes on and on. You are joined with the air every moment. If you don't breathe, you will die. You are joined with the sun rays; if the sun simply forgets one day to rise in the morning, we will be dead within ten minutes. You depend on water, you depend on food. How can you say you are not joined with the trees? We are deeply connected with everything else...
...; said the old man, "it's a lucky thing that my father had his way, because if I'd been a dentist I'd have starved to death." "How do you know that?" asked the friend. "Well," said the blacksmith, "I can prove it. I've been right here in this shop for over thirty years and doing a lot of blacksmithing, but not once in all that time has a living soul asked me to pull a...
... continuously talks about it. It is a trick to paint death in beautiful colors, but you know all the time it is death. How can you befool yourself? Gurdjieff used to say that if you want to get rid of religion, live near by a priest and you will get rid of religion. Maybe the ordinary human being is deceived, but how can the priest be deceived? He himself is creating the whole deception. No priest is ever...
...." AND HE WAS REFERRING TO THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. DOES THAT BOTHER YOU IN ANY WAY THAT YOU SHARE THAT SAME...? A: No. He was a Christian, a Christian priest, and he had a congregation of the most retarded black people. And there is nothing common between me and him.... Q: EXCEPT THAT APPEAL TO THE SOVIET UNION. A: With that appeal I am saying that we are not going to die so easily as they think...
... THAT YOU TAKE SUCH A GLOOMY VIEW OF THE INTENTIONS OF THE OREGON STATE GOVERNMENT, BUT I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY PLANS THE DEATH OF YOU OR YOUR FOLLOWERS BECAUSE THAT STRIKES ME AS HYPERBOLE, TO SAY THE VERY LEAST. A: You don't know what has happened to me in the past, that's why. Attempts on my life have been made in India. I have been given poison, a knife has been thrown at...
... scholar, died - the same day, the same time. And they used to live just opposite each other in the same street. The mystic was surprised to see that the angels of death were also carrying the pundit, the great scholar, to heaven. He had never thought, no mystic has ever thought, that pundits can enter heaven. Even sinners can enter, but not scholars, not theologians, not philosophers. They are wordy...
... says to the other, "Well, yes, my dear friend, I am a self-made man. I started with nothing, absolutely nothing... Now I have over two million dollars worth of debts!" A Jew heard that at a certain gas station they pumped up tires for free. He went there, and in his excitement over the deal he blew all four tires. Old habits die hard. And it is very difficult to find a man without habits...
