... beings to be enlightened; it is almost impossibly rare for animals to become enlightened, but the cow attained. She will not be born again. From the body of a cow she has bypassed the whole world of humanity, and she has jumped ahead and joined with the buddhas. So once in a while -- there are a few instances only -- it has happened. But that cannot be called the rule; it is just the exception. Things...
... just a burden. He is told that he is a soul, that he is a spirit, that he is not a body, that he is not material. Or, in communist countries he is told that he is a body, just material, and that only in the old days, out of fear and ignorance, did people believe that they have souls -- that that is just a superstition. But in both cases, the child is being given an answer for which he has not asked...
... his declaration and it means "I am God, and there is no other God." Mohammedans could not forgive him; they killed him. But can you kill an al-Hillaj? It is impossible! Even while they were killing him he was laughing. Somebody asked, "Why are you laughing?" He replied, "Because you are not killing me, you are killing only the body, and I have said again and again that I am...
... not my body. Ana'l haq! I am God himself." Now these men are the very salt of the earth. Al-Hillaj Mansoor has not written any book; just a few of his declarations have been collected by his lovers and friends. I will not even say followers, because men like al-Hillaj don't even accept followers, imitators - they only accept lovers, friends. I am sorry, I forgot about him completely. That is...
... calls himself Farida of course because he is the master; the body is the servant. The great king Akbar used to come to Farid to listen to his songs. Akbar once received a gift, a very precious gift, a pair of golden scissors studded with diamonds. Gudia would have loved them - any woman would. Akbar also loved them, so much so that he thought they would be a good present for Farid. He came and gave...
... feeling victorious, suddenly you feel empty. Now nothing is left in your hand, only logic. And what can you do with logic-chopping? You cannot eat it. You cannot drink it. You cannot love it. You cannot live it. It is just rot, rubbish. Groups help very much. They bring you back to your body and they bring you back to your emotions, to the honesty of the emotions, the sincerity of your anger. Have you...
... certain breeze has moved around you, caressing you, giving you a taste of love. But these are all irrational forces. One needs now to move first into the body, into the emotions, into the heart, and then again one is flowing, and then meditation becomes possible. So be here and do a few groups. And take a jump into sannyas... Just meet sannyasins, talk about sannyas, feel it. It will be helpful. It will...
... because your breathing moves perfectly into the same pattern it would have been in when you were being suffocated. So your body remembers it perfectly. Just being conscious about it is enough; it can be undone. There is nothing to be worried about, but it has been there. That may be the cause why you cannot feel a deep trust towards life; that's why you are not flowing. The mother is the first...
... that he had given at darshan on July lOth, in which hot and cold water were used in rapid succession.... ] If you can take a sauna, that will be good... anything that makes the body hot and perspiring, and then a sudden change to cold, so that first the pores become porous, open, relaxed, and then they suddenly freeze. That gives the spine a totally new life. That's why after a sauna, one feels so...
... alive so full of energy. It has nothing to do with anything else but the spine. The spine is the base of life. At least to exist in the body, the spine is the most important part. On one end of the spine is sex energy, on another end of the spine is the mind. In fact man is nothing but spine. When sex energy starts moving towards the sahasrar, the seventh centre, then for the first time one becomes...
... and rush towards freedom. But just to be free and without loving, how can a man live? Love is such a big need. To be loved and to love is almost spiritual breathing. The body cannot live without breath and the spirit cannot live without love. One day you become bored with your freedom because what to do with it? Of course you are free, but what to do with freedom? There is no love so nothing flowers...
... minutes in the night to sit silently in this posture (indicating the posture in which she was sitting, legs folded back on either side of her). Half open the eyes and just be looking down. Breathing should be slow, body unmoving, and start chanting aum inside. There is no need to bring it out. It will be more penetrating with lips closed; even the tongue should not move. Chant aum fast - aum aum aum aum...
...; fast and loud but inside you. Just feel that it is vibrating all over the body from the feet to the head, from the head to the feet. Each aum falls into your consciousness like a rock thrown into a pool and ripples arise and spread to the very end. The ripples go on expanding and touch the whole body. Doing this there will be moments - and they will be the most beautiful moments - when you will not...
... belong to the body, we are identified with the body. This identification with the body becomes an identification with the clothes. If I ask a man to wear a woman's dress and walk down the street, do you think that this is just going to be a change of clothes? It is not! Firstly, he will not be ready to do it. No man will be ready to do it. Why this unreadiness, why this resistance? It is only a change...
... AND SUBTLE BODIES IS CALLED THE KUTASTHA OR THE CREST- INDWELLER. FROM AMONG THE KUTASTHA AND ITS DIFFERENT FORMS THE SELF, FOR THE SAKE OF THE REALIZATION OF ITS NATURE, PERMEATES THE BODY LIKE A THREAD THREADING A NECKLACE, AND IT IS CALLED ANTARYAMI OR THE IMMINENT. Now, three situational dimensions of the being: We discussed personalities; we discussed bodies; we discussed complexes of diseases...
... personality is known as lingasharir - the subtle body. And behind this subtle body, lingasharir - behind this identification, behind this barrier - is the knower. So to dissolve the personality, to withdraw yourself from the personality, to renounce the personality, is the essential renunciation. That is what is sannyas: to renounce... not the world, because how can you renounce the world? - It has never...
.... Once killed, killed for ever. But this very experience of death in silence is the beginning of a new life ... very fresh, very young, just a green sprout, just the early morning cool breeze. It does not have the old connotations about death that your mind may be filled with: darkness, danger, angels of death surrounding you, pulling your soul out from your body while you cling to the body. Death is a...
... anyone. I have simply changed their old, rotten bodies, their old, rotten minds and given them new bodies. And there are a few who have lived so totally and so consciously that they don't need to come back into the world as a separate entity. They don't get another body again. To them I give the whole of existence to disappear into. They will be in this cosmos not as separate units, but one with the...
... YEARS. DURING THIS PERIOD, HE DELVED DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO MEDITATION. Kanzan wrote: IN MY HOUSE THERE IS A CAVE, AND IN THE CAVE IS NOTHING AT ALL -- PURE AND WONDERFULLY EMPTY, RESPLENDENT, WITH A LIGHT LIKE THE SUN. A MEAL OF GREENS WILL DO FOR THIS OLD BODY, A RAGGED COAT WILL COVER THIS PHANTOM FORM. LET A THOUSAND SAINTS APPEAR BEFORE ME -- I HAVE THE BUDDHA OF HEAVENLY TRUTH! Once you have...
..., three men came around looking for some fun, so I hired her out to them. I told them to take it easy with her, but the three idiots all tried to get into her at the same time. Of course, she split from back to front. Now she is gone, and I am very happy about it!" Mrs. Godball faints. Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes, and feel your body to be...
... space and it is your own birthright to be a buddha. To make it absolutely clear that you are not the body, nor the mind, but just a witness, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax, and just be a witness. This witnessing is another name of the buddha. Witnessing makes you an empty mirror, reflecting everything without getting identified. And this is the miracle of meditation; it gives you freedom, it gives you...
... prevent them, because I have burned my fingers with Gautam Buddha - that's enough! No more disturbance in my sleep; no more knocking on my doors. These fellows are good from far away. To live in the same room or in the same body... those four days I will never forget! After many many days, the time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh has come. Father Fumble is thumbing through the church records one day, when he...
.... I and my tribe found them kind, compassionate, loving, wise, sensitive - and absolutely delicious!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes, and feel your body to be completely frozen. This is the moment you can look inwards with your total consciousness, and with an urgency as if this is going to be your last moment. Only with such urgency can you...
... reach to your very center immediately! And to be at your very center is to be a buddha. There is nothing beyond it. In this silence, in this blissfulness, this night becomes golden, something of the beyond. Just remember one thing: the only quality of a buddha is to be a witness. The moment you are just a witness... looking at the body, you are not it; looking at the mind, you are not it. You are just...
