... the slave and you are the master. Then in a certain sense you are the slave -- your body, your senses, your mind -- and in a certain sense you are the master -- your consciousness, awareness. Wherever a master exists the slave has to exist. Up to now you have tried to become a master and create slaves around you. Everybody is trying that, to become a master and to create somebody as a slave. The...
... who's trying to become the master himself and trying to force others to become slaves. Religion is a totally different dimension: you don't force anybody else to become a slave; still, you become a master. You become both. Your body, your gross parts, your earth element, becomes the slave; your sky element becomes the master. A Buddha is both: master -- superb; and slave -- also superb. It is a...
... meeting of your own slave and your own master, and then there is no conflict, because the body is your shadow. Once you say, "I am the master," the body follows you. It has to follow; it is natural for it to follow. In fact, when the body is allowed to become the master and you become the slave, it is a very unnatural state of affairs. It is as if the shadow is leading you. You will fall in a...
... ditch because the shadow has no consciousness; the shadow cannot be aware. The shadow is nonexistential, really. Your body is leading you: this is suffering. When you lead your body, suffering disappears; you start feeling blissful, at home, at ease. Yes, the opposite is everywhere. If light is there darkness is there. If love is there hate is there. If a master exists a slave has to exist; otherwise...
... your split state is bondage. When you are one, nobody can make you a slave -- nobody! You can be thrown in an imprisonment, you can be chained, but you cannot be made unfree. Your body may be chained: your soul will soar high. There will be no problem for it. How can your prayer be in bondage? How can your meditation be in a bondage? How can your love be in a bondage? How can your spirit be in...
... cannot make an anchorage out of it. It is so pure that the earthly gravitation cannot function on it. The earth needs something more material. The body needs something more material; the body is part of the earth. When you die the earth returns to the earth - the dust unto dust. To remain in the body, just compassion is not enough. In fact, the day compassion arises, you are ready to leave the body...
.... Compassion gives you a totally different pull - the pull from the high, the pull from the above. You start being pulled from the above. It becomes almost impossible to remain in the body. No, that purity won't be of much help. A little impurity is needed to remain on the earth and in the body, something more material. Food is perfectly good. Food is part of earth, material. It can give you a weight. People...
..., greed, ego - suddenly you are separate because you see it. It is there like an object, and you are there, the onlooker. How can you become the doer? A person becomes a doer when the witnessing is lost; he becomes identified with the object of vision. He starts saying, "This sex, it is me, it is 1," "This hunger in the body, it is me, it is I." If you watch the hunger, hunger is...
... there in the body and you are far away on the stars. Just try it. When you feel hungry, sit, close the eyes and watch the hunger. You cannot be identified with the hunger. If you feel identified, in that very moment witnessing is lost; you have become a doer. The whole art of witnessing is to help you to feel separate from all that with which you are clinging. No, doer never arises out of samyama...
... life has come from woman, then somehow death is also going to happen through her. Because the end always comes to meet the beginning. Only then is-the circle completed. In India, in Indian mythology, we realized it. You must have seen pictures or statues of Mother Kali, who is the symbolization of the feminine mind, and she is dancing on the body of her husband, Shiva. She has danced so terribly that...
... more circular, the circle seems to be complete. That may be the cause of their body being so round. It has a shape of roundness. Man has corners; and always ready to fight and argue. Even in moments of love. I was reading about Somerset Maugham. When Somerset Maugham, the writer, was nearly ninety, he had a bout with influenza. One day a lady admirer phoned and asked if she might send fruit and...
... flowers. "It is too late for fruit," Maugham replied, "and too early for flowers." Such a simple gesture of love... Logic enters immediately. One very famous woman, a dancer, an actress, and one of the most beautiful, asked Bernard Shaw, "Would you like to marry me?" Bernard said, "For what?" The woman said, "I always think that my beauty - my body, my face...
... your sun and moon inside releases your energy towards the head. It is an inner orgasm - the meeting of the sun and the moon, or call it the meeting of the anima and the animus, the male and the female inside you. Your whole body is divided into male and female. This has to be understood. Do you see how much left-handed people are suppressed? If a child writes with the left hand, immediately the whole...
... before you were feeling so good; just a moment after you are feeling so bad, just ready to fight or do something. Remember, the whole body is divided. Your brain is also divided into two brains. You don't have one brain; you have two brains - two hemispheres. The left-side brain is the sun brain; the right side brain is the moon brain. You may be puzzled, because everything left is moon, why the right...
... side brain is moon. The right side brain is connected with your left side body. Your left hand is connected with the right side brain, your right hand is connected with the left side brain, that's why. Crosswise. The right-side brain is the seat of imagination, poetry, love, intuition. The left side brain is the seat of reason, logic, argumentation, philosophy, science. And unless you attain to a...
... understand why women go on decorating themselves so much. I have heard, one couple went to the mountains to celebrate their honeymoon. The young man was lying in the bed and waiting for the wife. The wife was powdering her body and doing her hair and doing this and that, polishing her nails, and then she took a few drops of perfume and put them behind her ears. Then the young man jumped out of the bed. The...
... NATURE OF MIND. That too is not an adequate translation, but it is difficult. Translators are in a difficulty. "HRIDAYE CHITTA SAMVIT." First, when Patanjali uses the word hridaye, he does not mean the physical heart. In yoga terminology, just behind the physical heart is the real heart, hidden. It is not part of the physical body. The physical heart simply corresponds with the real heart...
.... In that oneness, the bull is transcended. Then you don't see yourself as separate from your mind. Then you don't see yourself as separate from the body. Then you don't see yourself as separate from the whole. You become one. All masters are one with existence; only slaves are separate. Separation is an illness. In health, you are not separate from the whole - you become one with it. Just try to...
... understand it. When you have a headache, your head is separate from you. Have you watched it? When the headache goes on hammering inside, knocking iside, your head is separate from you. But when the headache disappears, the head also disappears; then you can't feel it, then it is no more separate, then it has become part of your being If your body is perfectly healthy, then you don't have any body sense...
... always been the same; now you are riding on the river. And if you can float totally, not even a slight effort to swim, just floating, then your body and the river's body merge. Then you are not aware where your body ends and where the river's body begins. Then you are in an organic unity with the river. Then you will feel an orgasmic experience. Being one with the river, suddenly all limitations are...
...;Before I leave my body I would like to know one thing - whether this man I have been serving for thirty years has yet attained or not." The suspicion is natural, because the man has not yet abandoned the whip and the rope. The prostitute asked, "What am I supposed to do?" The woman said, "I will give you as much money as you want. You just go in the middle of the night. He will be...
...: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. DO YOU NOT SEE HIM, THE REALLY WISE MAN, ALWAYS AT EASE, UNMOVED? HE DOES NOT GET RID OF ILLUSION, NOR DOES HE SEEK FOR THE (SO-CALLED) TRUTH. IGNORANCE IS INTRINSICALLY THE BUDDHA NATURE, OUR ILLUSORY UNREAL BODY IS THE COSMIC BODY. GETTING RID OF THINGS AND CLINGING TO EMPTINESS IS AN ILLNESS OF THE SAME KIND; IT IS JUST LIKE THROWING ONESELF INTO A FIRE TO...
... greeting. When you face an enlightened being you have to bow three times - the body bows, the mind bows, the soul bows; you surrender utterly. That is just a gesture; it happens spontaneously. And when it happens spontaneously only then does it happen. Just two, three nights before, Hema came to see me. She may not even be aware of the Buddhist rule that when you face a Master you have to bow down three...
..., ALWAYS AT EASE, UNMOVED? HE DOES NOT GET RID OF ILLUSION, NOR DOES HE SEEK FOR THE (SO-CALLED) TRUTH. IGNORANCE IS INTRINSICALLY THE BUDDHA NATURE, OUR ILLUSORY UNREAL BODY IS THE COSMIC BODY. Statements of immense significance. Statements of great rebellion against all orthodox religions. Statements that can shock you. Statements which never relate with religions such as Christianity, Hinduism...
... Enlightenment he came to see that just in his belly, close to the diaphragm, there is a hard plate of steel that is dividing him into two, and because of it he cannot be one and whole. There is only a small hole in it through which he connects with the lower part of his body. And he was very puzzled because underneath the hole he saw written 'Made in USA. Patent applied for.' Then he became very worried...
... it was always there, even while you were thinking that you were a beggar. This whole world is our created and sustained dream. OUR ILLUSORY UNREAL BODY IS THE COSMIC BODY. And don't create any distinctions that 'this is unreal' and 'that is real'. All is one. GETTING RID OF THINGS AND CLINGING TO EMPTINESS IS AN ILLNESS OF THE SAME KIND... But beware: it happens that people try to get rid of things...
... from heaven and turned her ordinary body into a golden one. As she was filling water for the ascetic from the pond, she saw her reflection in the water and just could not believe that she was looking like a fairy. She became fascinated by her own reflection. She continued to look after the ascetic. Then one day the ascetic opened his eyes and told the young woman that he wanted to leave that place...
... dream! The woman looked familiar and unfamiliar both. The outlines were just the same but now there was a glory in it. The body and the features were the same but they were radiant now. She was like the forgotten melody, played again on a flute by some musician. The ascetic sat down and closed his eyes again. He did not go. That night the young woman could not sleep because she felt happy at her...
... the agony of the world is realized and one becomes detached from the world, then one starts hoping for heaven. Hope drags you on even when you are tired and fall down. Many times this question must have arisen in you. When you see a beggar on the roadside who is without hands, feet, eyes - whose whole body is wasted, you also start wondering why he is living. What is he living for? But he is not the...
... steadfast. It is difficult. It is easy to do something. If you eat more then you are troubling your body, if you fast even then you are troubling your body; there is no difference between these two conditions. First you were troubling the body by eating more, now you are troubling it by fasting. You go on collecting money, you can give it up also. You will know the futility of money only after you have...
... useless. You do not have to make much effort to fast - it is only a little trouble to the body. You can do austerities also because it satisfies your ego. But the one and only revolution is the revolution of self-knowledge. Nobody can be free without that revolution. Self-knowledge is the only liberation. Knowledge is liberation. But knowledge does not mean the knowledge of the scriptures because, that...
... the attainment of everything. When you feel this, when you feel deep contentment, then that is the proof of his being engrossed in Brahma, of being in a deep embrace with the divine. There is a very interesting thing. You must have seen the image of Mahavira - he is very blissful. You must have seen his body also. But look at the Jaina muni. He looks so unhappy, so miserable. There is no bliss...
.... Mohammedans, Jainas, Hindus laugh at this stupidity. How can a child be born out of a virgin girl? It is absolutely absurd. But Mohammedans say that while in his body, Mohammed went to heaven sitting on his female horse. Christians, Hindus, Jainas laugh at this - what kind of stupidity is this! The first thing is that a female horse cannot go to heaven. If it had been a male horse, it might have been able...
... to go. A man can go to heaven but there is no provision for women to go - so a female horse cannot go to heaven. If it had been a male horse the idea might have been tolerated, it might have been alright. And secondly, how can somebody go to heaven while in his body? The body has to be left here, the body is a thing of the earth. Mohammed cannot go to heaven in his body. Everybody laughs at the...
... give him truth, he will be in bondage in some way or other. If he gets free from one he will be tied to another, if he gets free from the second he will be tied to the third - he cannot get free from the bondage. But to get free of one and to be tied to the other always gives relief for a while. When a man dies, four people carry his dead body to the funeral ground on a bier on their shoulders. When...
.... And in the meditation which we are going to do tonight, don't go to sleep either! Now we will do the night meditation. You should not go to sleep. Relax the body, relax the breath, make the mind silent, but do not go to sleep. Be totally awake inside. That's why I have told you to keep listening to everything outside, because if you are listening you will remain awake but if you are not listening...
... talked about the needs of the body; today we talked about how to bring health to the mind and brain, how to become free of the entangling net of the brain. And tomorrow we will talk about the heart, the second center. If the heart and the mind are sorted out then it will be very easy to enter into the third center. There may be some new people here today so I must tell them that now we will lie down...
... question of owning in democracy does not arise. Individuals should be the owners of everything that exists. Government is simply a functioning body. It is not the master, it is the servant of the people. It should look that everything is going well, that no individual is being in any way exploited, that no individual is being enslaved, that no individual is being interfered with. The function in...
... democracy of the government is to protect the individual, his freedom, his ownership, his possibilities of growth, and to help him. The government should not become a partner, a competitor, in business, in land, in factories, in anything. Government is just a functional body like post office. Now, post office should start owning land and factories? Or the board that runs airplanes or railway lines...
..., because these are the people who have perverted human mind. Homosexuality was born in monasteries, because you are forcing men to live together without a woman entering. There are monasteries where for one thousand years not a single woman has entered. And women have to be kept away in their nunneries, where men cannot enter. Now, you cannot go against nature. Your body does not know that you are a...
... Catholic, that you are a fundamentalist Christian, that you are a Hindu or a Mohammedan. Your body knows nothing. The body does not know that you have taken a vow of celibacy. The body goes on producing blood, bones, sex energy. It knows nothing about celibacy. God himself is not celibate. Not only that, he is a criminal. He made poor Virgin Mary pregnant. And the whole company of God -- God, the Holy...
... never could get time, now they have two years time, complete two years time. This is too much! Do everything that you wanted to do and meditate as deeply as possible, because if your death comes, and you are able to meditate while death is coming, that is the greatest experience in the world. Because death comes to the body, to the brain, but not to you. You can go on watching death step by step. It...
... has taken your body, it has taken your brain, it has taken your heart, but you are still the same. At the very center of your being is something which is eternal. And the time of two years.... They are fortunate. AIDS has come in disguise as a fortune, otherwise how to get two years time just to meditate and do nothing? I have every certainty they will die a beautiful death. The other religions have...
..., austerities, she can become a nun, she can renounce everything -- all this will give her only a man's body in the next birth, because only through a man's body will she be able to enter into enlightenment. There is no way from a woman's body. And what was the reason? The monthly period -- because in the monthly period something comes out of the woman, and the woman cannot hide it. It is difficult for so...
... many years to keep it a secret and pretend that it doesn't happen, that you have controlled it completely. It is impossible. The blood is coming out of the body. How are you going to prevent it? And the pain and the misery? It was the monthly period that was given as the reason that women are not capable of controlling their bodies. They cannot rise above their bodies, so they cannot attain...
... control urination, how can you control your semen, which is being produced by you, by your body? And the body knows nothing about celibacy, there is no way to give the idea of celibacy to the body... so now there is no need to produce any sexual energy. There is no communication between the mind and the body in that way. These people have dominated humanity and given them idiotic ideas. One may ask why...
... compromise somewhere so both heaven and hell can meet; so body and soul, the lower and the higher, the past and the future, can somewhere meet and have a compromise. We have been doing that for many lives. It has not happened, and it is not going to happen. The whole effort is absurd, impossible. These techniques are not concerned with creating a compromise within you. These techniques are to give you a...
... is useless. You miss the point. Feel it deep down in your bones. Feel it all over your body. Feel it as a total unit, not in the head. Just feel it - I AM. Don't use the words 'I am'. Because I am relating to you, I am using the words. 'I am'. And Shiva was relating to Parvati, so he had to use the words 'I am existing'. Don't. Don't go on repeating. This is not a mantra. You are not to repeat I AM...
..., totally different. Thinking is a trick to escape from feeling. It is not only different, it is a deception. What do I mean when I say to feel I AM EXISTING? I am sitting in this chair. If I start feeling I AM EXISTING, I will become aware of many things: the pressure on the chair, the touch of the velvet, the air passing through the room, the noise touching my body, the blood circulating silently, the...
... heart, the breathing that goes on continuously, and a subtle vibrating feeling of the body. Because the body is a dynamism; it is not a static thing. You are vibrating. Continuously there is a subtle trembling and while you are alive it will continue. The trembling is there. You will become aware of all these multidimensional things. And the more you become aware of the many things that are happening...
... EXISTING. Try it. And you can do it anywhere. Just riding in a bus, or travelling in a train, or just sitting, or lying down on your bed, try to feel existence as it is; don't think about it. Suddenly you will become aware that you have not known many things which are continuously happening to you. You have not felt your body. You have your hands, but you have not ever felt it - what it says, and what it...
..., of your body. It is a big phenomenon; there are subtle nuances. The body goes on telling you and you are not there to hear it. And existence all around you goes on penetrating you in subtle ways, in many ways, in different ways, but you are not aware. You are not there to receive it, to welcome it. When you start feeling existence, the whole world becomes alive to you in a totally new way; you have...
