...-dimensional; it has all the three dimensions of man's being. When you laugh your body joins it, your mind joins it, your being joins it. In laughter the distinctions disappear, the divisions disappear, the schizophrenic personality disappears. But it was against those who wanted to exploit man - the kings, the priests, the cunning politicians. Their whole effort was somehow to make man weaker, sick: make...
... this slow suicide for centuries, because the idea has become fixed in our minds that the body and the soul are enemies. The more you torture the body, the more spiritual you are; the more you allow the body to have pleasure, enjoyment, love, laughter, the less spiritual you are. This dichotomy is the basic reason why laughter has disappeared from man. HE - DID NOT LOVE SUFFICIENTLY: OTHERWISE HE...
... CLEARLY, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN ALL THE TEACHING. WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE? WHAT IS THERE TO GAIN? There is nothing to lose and nothing to gain. If you can be centered in your consciousness, suddenly you will see that you are eternal and immortal. Even if the body is burned on a funeral pyre, you will not be burned. Your life principle is immortal. You cannot lose your life and you cannot gain it either...
... has said: COMING, I DON'T ENTER THE GATE. GOING, I DON'T LEAVE BY THE DOOR. THIS VERY BODY IS THE LAND OF TRANQUIL LIGHT. When you go out, only the body goes out. Your inner light remains in the same place inside you. Whether you come or go, whether you run or sit, it does not matter. Your inner being remains in the same situation. Another poem runs: IN THE UTTER SILENCE OF A TEMPLE, A CUCKOO'S...
... Holland, an utterly drunk Dutch sailor is brought into the hospital, totally unconscious. Nurse Holynose is given the task of taking care of him until he recovers from the fight he has been in. She begins to wash the blood from his face and notices under his shirt that his body is covered with tattoos. Curious, she can't help but unbutton his shirt a little for a further peek. Naked dancing women cover...
... loved the woman so much, so madly, that he in his madness thought that there must be a physician somewhere in the country who could still bring her back to life. So he carried the dead body of his wife Parvati on his shoulders and roamed around the country looking for some miracle worker, some physician who knew the secret of the nectar which could revive the woman. Of course, the body started...
... deteriorating: it became rotten, parts of the body started falling. But he was so mad he went on and on. The hands fell in one place, the legs fell in another, the head fell somewhere else... That's how the Indian sacred places were born - this is the story. One part fell in Varanasi, another fell in Puri, another fell in Ujjain, and so on and so forth. The body fell in twelve parts all over the country. By...
...; it seems to be really a great obsession. Basically it is just an indication that these people are still hankering for the mother; the breast represents the mother. If children are free of the mother, the breast will disappear from poetry and films and painting. They will take the right proportion, they will be natural parts of the body. Right now it seems that it is not the woman who has breasts...
.... [To the son:] It is good.... Create trouble! Daya means compassion, and compassion is the highest flowering of love. In love a little bit of lust remains; love remains contaminated with the earth. Love has something of the sky in it and something of the earth in it. It is dual: its body belongs to the matter, its soul belongs to consciousness. Compassion is pure soul, it is pure sky: it has no...
... learning, you will remain capable of being a no-mind again and again and again -- the mind will never be accumulated. If you are capable of remaining alert-and spontaneous, able to be surprised by life and by yourself, you will become by and by more and more interested in the interior-most life, in the core of life. When you see a person, you will not see just the body, your gaze will become penetrating...
..., your gaze will become like an x-ray. It will catch hold of the person -- of the consciousness there, of the inner light there in the other person. The body is just an abode -- you will meet the person, you will shake hands, but not only hands, you will shake the person, you will meet the person. And in your own life, by and by, you will become aware that the body is just the outermost garment: you...
... have to take care of it, it is not to be neglected, it is valuable, but it is not the end. You are the master, not the servant. And by and by, the more you penetrate withinwards, you will see that the mind also is an innermost garment -- more valuable than the body but not more valuable than you. You remain the supreme value. Once you know your supreme value, you have become mature; and once you know...
... because he will have to strain, hold himself. His whole body will become rigid and he will try to fidget here and there and he will want to jump out of himself. You have forced the energy -- now it has no purpose, no meaning, no space to move, nowhere to bloom and flower; it is stuck, frozen, rigid. The child is suffering a short death, a temporary death. Now if you don't allow the child to run again...
... patterns, pictures, movement. And when you dance there comes a moment when your body is no longer a rigid thing, it becomes flexible, flowing. When you dance there comes a moment when your boundary is no longer so clear; you melt and merge with the cosmos, the boundaries are mixing. Watch a dancer -- you will see that he has become an energy phenomenon, no longer in a fixed form, no longer in a frame. He...
... obsession has never existed here. That obsession has come from the West now; then people become interested more in irrelevant things. When a Sosan is born, what difference does it make - this year or that? When he dies, how is it important? Sosan is important, not his entry into this world and the body, not his departure. Arrivals and departures are irrelevant. The only relevance is in the being. And...
..., categorized, compartmentalized, divided - but life is messy. But what to do? It is so. It is not so compartmentalized, so clear-cut, divided - it is a chaos. But logic is dead and life is alive, so the question is whether to choose consistency or to choose life. If you are too much for consistency you will become dead, and deadlier and deadlier, because consistency is possible only if you drop the opposite...
..., celibates, who try to keep the sex energy in, the semen in, the whole body wants to throw it out. Their whole life becomes sexual - their mind becomes sexual, they dream of sex, they think of sex. Sex becomes their obsession because they are trying to do something, logical of course, but not true to life. And they don't live long, they die soon. This is a new finding, a new research: that a man lives...
.... Love more - that is breathing out - and your body will gather energy from the whole cosmos. You create the vacuum and the energy comes. It is just like this in every process of life. You eat, but then you become a miser, you become constipated. The logic is right: don't breathe out. Constipation is choosing for breathing in and being against breathing out. Almost every civilized person is constipated...
... long as you are, there is a certain slavery to circumstances, to the body, to the mind, to the society. You cannot be absolutely independent as long as you are. Nirvana is absolute freedom. Now there is no one who can be enslaved. The dewdrop has disappeared into the ocean. These sutras are good enough to make Hyakujo a master - and finally he became a master. He did not revise these sutras. He...
... and I got into a discussion about whether you are a man or a woman." The monk must have been a man of a great sense of humor. He said, "Aha! I don't know myself. A monk is a monk - he is neither a man nor a woman." The man became even more disappointed. He said to me, "Now it is very difficult. His body is very shapely, and he himself says that he does not know who he is."...
... leg lying on the tracks. He picks himself up, rubs his eyes in disbelief, and staggers on. A few minutes later, he stumbles over another leg lying on the tracks. Next, he comes across an arm. By now, Looney Larry has become really interested, and when he sees a body, he stops to have a good look at it. Walking around the body, he scratches his chin, and mumbles to himself, "That coat looks...
...) (Gibberish) (Drumbeat) Close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen. Look inward with great urgency, as if this moment is the last moment of your life. Only with great urgency can you reach to your buddhahood. It is not far away. Just gather all your consciousness into an arrow. It is an unknown path for you - but go ahead! There is no fear. Nobody is ever harmed by reaching to the life source...
.... Deeper and deeper... at the center of your being is the unmoving center of the whole existence. To be it, is to have found the treasure house of all the mysteries and miracles. Just look, without any evaluation, without any judgment. Be a mirror - only reflecting. A witness - just a witness with no idea, no opinion. To make it clear, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Watch, witness. Your body is not you; your...
.... COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME, BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MISSING FROM THESE VIEWS BUT I CAN'T SEE IT MYSELF. Prem Hamid, MAN certainly is a biocomputer, but something more too. About ninety-nine point nine percent of people it can be said that they are only biocomputers and nothing more. Ordinarily one is only the body and the mind, and both are composites. Unless one moves into meditation one...
... cannot find that which is something more, something transcendental to body and mind. The psychologists, particularly the behaviorists, have been studying man for half a century, but they study the ordinary man, and of course their thesis is proved by all their studies. The ordinary man, the unconscious man, has nothing more in him than the bodymind composite. The body is the outer side of the mind and...
... the mind the inner side of the body. Both are born and both will die one day. But there is something more. That something more makes a man awakened, enlightened, a Buddha, a Christ. But a Buddha or a Christ is not available to be studied by Pavlov, Skinner, Delgado and others. Their study is about the unconscious man, and of course when you study the unconscious man you will not find anything...
.... He says: You are not the body, you are not the mind, you are not the self He goes on denying, eliminating. He eliminates everything that you can conceive of, and then he does not say anything what is left. That which is left is your reality: that utterly pure sky without clouds, no thought, no identity, no emotion, no desire, no ego - nothing is left. All clouds have disappeared... just the pure...
... it has a consistency, but it is not that much rich as when the flute becomes part of an orchestra. Then it has a totally different kind of richness, multidimensionality. But then you have to be in tune with others; you have to be continuously alert not to fall out of step. Somebody is playing a tabla and somebody is playing the sitar and you are playing the flute; all the three have to be in...
... physiological you will never be out of it. You will never be out of it because there are intrinsic impossibilities: if someone is trying to be above desires he is struggling for something which is impossible, because desires are natural. Your body cannot exist without them. So you will go on clinging to the body, and still desires will be there -- less, of course, but they will be there. And the weaker the...
... body, the less the desires will be strongly felt. So you can go on weakening, but unless you die the body will have desires. There are not only desires, there are needs. Needs are to be fulfilled, and the better fulfilled, the less they trouble you, the less they demand, the less time is needed for them. So once you are struggling with physiological needs, you will waste your whole life. This whole...
... process, this whole old sannyas, is negative, fighting against something. Of course, it is ego-strengthening. Whenever there is fight, ego is strengthened. If you can kill a desire, you may become more egoistic. If you can deny your body a particular need, you become more egoistic. Fight, in any manner, is always ego-satisfying and ego-fulfilling. To me, sannyas is something positive, not negative. It...
... around your body, just like in the morning. The whole day, it conserves. If you can feel it, cooperate with it, you will know a great difference. And when one is wearing ocher, it is one thing; when thousands wear it, the result is altogether different. The quantity changes the quality. Buddha will come to a city with ten thousand ocher-colored bhikkhus. The whole city is surrounded with a new...
... your body. You know you are transcendental, but the body is there, the mind is there. You have just come to recognize the fact that you are not your body-mind, that you are total. Now if you want to express THIS experience, you will have to use the same mind, the same body that you were using before enlightenment. You don't have any other instruments to use, hence the uniqueness. Christ uses his mind...
...! Your mind was already there, just your body has to follow. And you will think many things against me - small things, and you will make much fuss about them. You will make mountains out of molehills. And when you will understand one day, you will be surprised at how you were creating unnecessary things. But they were part of the growth. Right now, you can be awake only in the day. In the night you...
... notorious transgressor, packed Vienna's churches in 1809 with his fiery sermons on carnal sin. One Sunday, he preached to a huge congregation a sermon on 'that tiny piece of flesh, that most dangerous appurtenance of a man's body'. Gentleman blanched, ladies blushed, as he elaborated on all the horrendous consequences of its misuse, his piercing eyes shooting sparks as he expounded graphically on and on...
