... AMAZEMENT, HE CAME RUNNING TO HIS FATHER AND ASKED HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR SUCH A ZADDIK TO PRAY SO QUIETLY AND SIMPLY, WITHOUT GIVING ANY SIGN OF ECSTASY. One of the most delicate and significant points to be remembered: agony becomes ecstasy. If you are in deep agony, then the same energy which was agony will become ecstasy when you meditate. You will dance with ecstasy, but that is not the last point...
... prayer possible. WHEN THE SON OF THE RABBI OF LENTSHNO WAS A BOY, HE SAW RABBI VITZHAK OF VORKI, PRAYING. The boy must have seen many Hassidic disciples, dancing, full of tears of joy, weeping, crying, embracing each other, in deep gratitude, in deep remembrance of God. The boy must have seen that when people meditate, they celebrate. FULL OF AMAZEMENT, HE CAME RUNNING TO HIS FATHER AND ASKED HOW IT...
..., "Perhaps this is it." He would run to the master, but before he had uttered a word, the master would just close the door in his face and shout from inside, "Go back and meditate. This is not the sound!" Shohaku would think, "What is the matter? I have not even said anything and he has refused already!" But the master is right, because no answer can be right. There is no...
... answer was going to be the answer. Only no-mind could be the answer. No-mind is the sound of one hand clapping." CUCKOO CALLING TODAY OF ALL DAYS WHEN NO ONE IS HERE. A beautiful, very beautiful haiku to remember. Question 2: Maneesha's question ... OUR BELOVED MASTER, IS IT BECAUSE OF A REFUSAL TO ENCOUNTER THE REALITY OF DEATH THAT THERE IS A RELUCTANCE TO MEDITATE? Maneesha, yes, because...
... well. Why do you bother me? And if you bother me much more I will take you all to my master!" You have to learn how to sleep, and you have to learn how to meditate. Both are the same. In sleep also you go to the same depth, but not the whole night. In eight hours sleep, six hours you dream -- not continuously, but with a few breaks here and there, for two hours. For two hours you are at the very...
... to go into meditation, they REALLY want to go into meditation. But they have motives. They say 'If we go into meditation, shall we see God?' I say to them that if they have a motivation like that, meditation will not happen, because a motivated mind can never be meditative. Motivation is desire, desire is disturbance. How can you meditate with disturbance? Meditation is possible only when you are...
... wrong karma for yourself; you will have to suffer. So you have not helped. That's why you will not find a Jain monk running a hospital or a school, no. That is impossible. 'People are suffering from diseases because of their past KARMAS. They have to suffer. Help them to accept.' The Jain monk will say 'Please be silent and meditate.' And he has the thermos and he can give the water, but he will not...
... and disappeared. So Jesus participated in Christ- consciousness and disappeared. Now there is no question of time, now time exists not. Now there is no more any time and no more any space. This state is what Buddha calls NIRVANA, and Jesus calls the 'kingdom of God'. Meditate on these sutras. They are incredible. Go into them, and you will be immensely benefitted. Great will be your grace if you can...
... are not two separate entities. Man is one of the forms of God's expression in the world. Jesus is man and God, so are you. And to understand Jesus is to understand your own situation. And to love Jesus is to love your own being. To meditate on Jesus to meditate upon your own division, the gap that has come in your being between you and your own real self. To understand Jesus is to bridge that gap...
...: SAT - being, CHIT - consciousness, ANANDA - bliss. Remember these seven words and meditate on them. Then you will be able to easily understand these immensely significant sayings of Jesus. AND ONE OF THE PHARISEES DESIRED HIM THAT HE WOULD EAT WITH HIM. AND HE WENT INTO THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE, AND SAT DOWN TO MEAT. AND, BEHOLD, A WOMAN IN THE CITY, WHICH WAS A SINNER, WHEN SHE KNEW THAT JESUS SAT AT...
...." How can you find it out? One has to meditate on it. The problem is such that you cannot solve it by intellect, by reason. You have to ponder over it, meditate over it, go on meditating and searching: "What is my original face?" And the teacher will be there with his staff, and he will look around to see if someone is going into sleep. Then the teacher's staff will be on your head. You...
... cannot sleep; sleep is not allowed at all. You have to be constantly awake. So a Zen teacher is a hard taskmaster. You have to meditate before him, and he will not allow you to drop into sleep - because the moment when you are dropping into sleep is the moment to encounter the unconscious. If you can remain out of sleep, then the unconscious will be revealed - because that is the line. The very line...
...: only that the next breath did not come. What he says is of immense significance - 'Where could I go? I am always here.' There is nowhere to go. This is the only existence there is, this is the only dance there is - where can one go? Life comes and goes, death comes and goes - but where can ONE go? You were there before life. That's why Zen masters go on saying to their disciples: Go meditate, and try...
... - another great technique that is very special to Zen. Bodhidharma's technique is not very special to Zen, it comes from Buddha. In that way Hui-neng is more of an original thinker than Bodhidharma; even Bodhidharma is not so original - Hui-neng gave the koan. 'Koan' means an absurd question which cannot be answered, any way you try. It is unanswerable. And one has to meditate on that unanswerable...
... you, please be aware, don't use it. I will tell you one story, it is a beauty. Meditate over it. There was this bloke, see, and he hadn't been able to get the bonk... Now, I am not going to tell you what 'bonk' is. You will understand it as the story proceeds. So there was this bloke, see, and he hadn't been able to get the bonk for a year. He was pretty upset about it, see, and of course his wife...
... path, some new urge. Now you are in difficulty. The confusion is, you want to cling to the old, I want to push you into the new. Hence the confusion. Once you stop clinging to the old, there will be no confusion. And then I will not be able to unsettle you at all. Because you are no more seeking settlement - how can I unsettle you? Meditate on this small parable, a real story. Ma Tsu heard of Ta...
... enter into the world. What is the difference? How will you know the difference? If you stand before a Buddha-statue and meditate over it for half an hour, you will see the difference. And then go and meditate half an hour on a Picasso painting, and you will see the difference immediately. Half an hour, and the painting will start driving you mad. You will feel very uneasy, you will start feeling very...
..., one zero - big zero - and all have dissolved into it. When you meditate, the ego disappears. With the ego all the distinctions, differences, disappear. If you all are meditative here, in this moment, then here there is nobody. Only one prevails - the unknown - only God prevails. You disappear, you lose your boundaries, you melt, you merge in the ocean. When you are thinking, you are separate. When...
.... Truth is not an object, truth is not a fact; it is a realization. And when truth happens, it happens in toto. Another thing to be understood, then this story will be very simple and you will love it and you will be able to meditate your path into it. Facts come one by one. You can never be certain that you have known all the facts. New ways of looking, new instruments, new devices, and you may come to...
... ASKETH RECEIVETH, AND HE THAT SEEKETH FINDETH, AND TO HIM THAT KNOCKETH, IT SHALL BE OPENED." In these two statements, the whole of religion is contained. If you can meditate on these two small statements, the vast sky of all Buddhahood becomes available to you. You need not read a thousand and one books. A small statement meditated upon, absorbed, digested, is enough to transform you. These...
... those faces. And that facelessness is called the original face. Just think, just meditate a little: you look through the eyes, but the one who looks through the eyes has no eyes. You smell through the nose, but the one who smells through the nose has no nose. You eat through the mouth, you digest through the body, but the one who is behind, who feels the hunger, who feels the satisfaction of eating...
... continue to meditate, allow love to happen; nothing else is needed. One has just to allow it to happen.... And come back. [A sannyasin says: I am in a relationship, and I love her and she loves me, but I'm afraid that our paths may not be compatible.] If you love, then nothing is incompatible. If you don't love, then there are a thousand and one excuses. Just think - a man and a woman are incompatible...
