... mind recognized quickly that mind is part of the body on the one hand, and on the other hand, mind is part of the education of the society. The brain is the natural part, and the mind is the part that the society has given you - the conditionings, the philosophies, the religions, the whole nurture. This small mind, which consists only of biology and sociology, cannot know the vast truth, the...
... EMPTY EON?" Before that empty timelessness, what is the self... where have you been? You must have been somewhere - a relevant question. Existence may not have been here, you may not have been in a body, but somewhere, hiding in some corner, you must have been somewhere. AS CHORO WAS ABOUT TO ANSWER, TANKA SAID, "YOU ARE STILL NOISY - GO AWAY FOR NOW." Tanka was the master who asked the...
... know," says Gloria. "I can feel it!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent... Close your eyes, and feel your body to be completely frozen. This is the right moment to enter inwards. Gather your energies, your total consciousness. And with an intensity, rush towards the center of your being. A deep urgency is needed, as if this is going to be your last...
... pure sky, your freedom, your eternity, your ecstasy. Witness that you are not the body. Witness that you are not the mind. Witness that you are only the witness - a pure witness, just a mirror. This witnessing is the only revolution that has ever happened to any man, the only revolution that has produced a line of buddhas. Make it deeper... Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax, but remain a witness...
... they will be able to condemn it. They say, "What is the body? Just in a bag of skin there are millions of dirty things. Just open the bag and see." And you will find that then they are right. But have you asked the other question? These people must have been expecting something which they have not found. Were you expecting gold inside the bag of skin, or diamonds inside the bag of skin...
...? Then would things have been better? Ask the other question: what were you expecting? You cannot find a better and more beautiful body than you have, and you go on looking at the dirt inside. You don't look at the beautiful work it continues. The whole body continues to work for seventy, eighty, or even a hundred years with such smooth efficiency, with such silence. Look at the throbbing energy in the...
... body, the pulsation of energy. But there are people who can always find something wrong. Whatsoever it is, they can find something wrong. You show them a rose and they will take it off the plant and will say, "What is it? It will be dead within a few hours. Yes, it will wither, so all beauty is lost." You show them a beautiful rainbow, and they will say that it is illusory: "You go...
..., proportionate body." One of the two men said, "It is all nonsense. Don't get convinced by this man - it is simply stupid." But the other man became interested. He said, "I will purchase it." And he said to his friend, "Remember, it is my woman, and I don't like anybody fooling around with my woman." The other man said, "I have never thought that you are so stupid. It is...
... flowing. Now, there is no natural relationship between the ringing of a bell and the saliva and the tongue hanging out, but they have become associated. The ringing bell immediately prepares his whole body ready for food, although there is no food. There is a beautiful incident that Pavlov proved by these experiments about association. One day he tried the same experiment from another side. He placed...
... IT WITH ONESELF AND NOT GO ROAMING ABOUT - THUS DO I TEACH. You should love yourself without thinking whether you deserve it or not. You are alive - that is enough proof that you deserve love, just as you deserve breathing. You don't think whether you deserve breathing or not. Love is a subtle nourishment to the soul, just as food is to the body. And if you are full of love for yourself you will be...
... could have been, the body is not so proportionate as other bodies are. You are continuously comparing yourself, and in comparison you will always find someone better than you. How can you love yourself? All comparison should stop. You have to accept yourself as you are - this is the way existence wants you to be. And this is the way you have to love yourself - not reluctantly, but joyously. Then...
..., "It is God. He has decided already, so we simply have to be instrumental; we cannot do anything on our own . " Even a man like Krishna says to Arjuna, "Don't worry. You can kill in the war because God has already decided whom to kill and whom to save. In fact, he has already killed - you are just a means. If you are not going to kill then some-body else will have to do the job. So why...
... part of him immediately felt my presence. When I touched him he responded. That response is not of the brain, that response is not of the body. The body is in a mess, the brain is no longer functioning, but man is more than the body and the brain. That something more, that plus, immediately danced with joy. I am part of him, he is part of me. In his life he is part of me, if he goes he is part of me...
... is it not possible with the man you love? The difference has to be understood. You love me, but you don't love me in the same way you love your husband, your wife. Your love towards me is not biological; with me your love is a totally different phenomenon -- it is of the spirit, not of the body. And secondly, you are connected with me because of your search for truth. My relationship with you is...
... you are making love, but in both cases, you are related with the body, the physical part, the biology, the hormones. You are not related with the innermost core of the other. Your souls remain separate. In the temples and in the churches and in the courts, only your bodies are married. Your souls are miles apart. While you are making love to your man -- even in those moments -- neither are you there...
... brought here. Things are not impossible, but we have not tried the right medicine. I would like you to be reminded that the word `medicine' comes from the same root as `meditation'. Medicine cures your body; meditation cures your soul. Medicine heals the material part of you; meditation heals the spiritual part of you. People are living together and their spirits are full of wounds; hence, small things...
... SUFFERING AND EXPERIENCE THE BLISS OF NIRVANA. ALL OTHERS, TRAPPED BY THE IMPURE MIND AND ENTANGLED BY THEIR OWN KARMA, ARE MORTALS. THEY DRIFT THROUGH THE THREE REALMS AND SUFFER COUNTLESS AFFLICTIONS. AND ALL BECAUSE THEIR IMPURE MIND OBSCURES THEIR REAL SELF. THE SUTRA OF THE TEN STAGES SAYS, "IN THE BODY OF MORTALS IS THE INDESTRUCTIBLE BUDDHA-NATURE. LIKE THE SUN, ITS LIGHT FILLS ENDLESS SPACE...
... there was one man who was half paralyzed and utterly mad, but thousands of people used to gather around him. He had nothing to say and there was no light in his eyes and there was no joy in his being. I used to go and simply sit there and watch the man and what people were doing. He was living almost by drinking only tea. It was difficult for him to drink tea because half his body was paralyzed, so...
... affected by dark clouds. It is still shining in its grandeur, but the dark clouds can cover it so much that even the day starts looking like night. THE SUTRA OF THE TEN STAGES SAYS, "IN THE BODY OF MORTALS IS THE INDESTRUCTIBLE BUDDHA-NATURE. LIKE THE SUN, ITS LIGHT FILLS ENDLESS SPACE. BUT ONCE VEILED BY THE DARK CLOUDS OF THE FIVE SHADES, IT'S LIKE A LIGHT INSIDE A JAR, HIDDEN FROM VIEW." AND...
... why they are not using their freedom for higher values, for higher consciousnesses. They don't have any idea, they are beggars. For those higher values you have to go through a hierarchy. There are beauties of the body, but they have never enjoyed the beauties of the body. There are beauties of the mind - listening to great music or reading great poetry are beauties of the mind - but they have never...
... bothered. Unless you go from body to mind, you cannot go beyond mind. You will have to pass through the mind. They know only one thing in life and that is greed; they have learned only one art - how to fulfill the greed. And now they are at the end of their lives, it seems too late to begin, and even the idea of beginning will not happen to them. In ancient India you will be surprised to know that great...
... field, or chopping wood, or carrying water - whatever you could do. But the necessary thing was that everything should be done with a meditative mind. Work should be a meditation. Just as you sit for meditation, Buddha introduced walking also as meditation. Then why should working not also be associated with meditation. There is no reason. Only when work and all kinds of movements of your body, are...
...?" sobs Fumble, "AND THEN?" "And then," says Pussy, "my mother walked in." "Ah!" screams the priest. "Shit!" Anando... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) (Drumbeat) Nivedano... Be silent, close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen. Now look inwards with absolute urgency as if this is the last moment of your life. Bring your total consciousness as...
... you to take a jump from this stepping board into the ultimate oceanic reality. Unless you disappear completely, leaving no trace behind, you cannot be at rest. The buddha is only the door. To make it more clear, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax. Let go of the body and the mind. Only the witnessing remains, which is another name of buddhahood. Rejoice this great moment. Very few people have reached to...
... philosophers - in India, a whole school of philosophers called Charvakas - who believe that with the death of the body everything dies. So it does not matter what you do - just do it skillfully so that you are not caught. And don't be worried about what happens after death; after death you will not be there. Death means the end of you. In Greece there was Epicurus, a very great logician, who said there is no...
... life beyond death; and he had a great school and hundreds of followers. And today, for the first time, half of the world - more than half of the world - is communist. Karl Marx, the founder of communism, does not believe in any God, any hell, any heaven. He says, "Consciousness is just a by-product. When the body disintegrates the by-product disappears." There has never been such a large...
... purpose in life, and joy is just a dream, just a hope; it does not exist in reality. The West needs meditation. The East needs medicine; it is sick in the body. The West is sick in the soul. Once we understand the problem clearly.... Now it is not the East which is a danger to the world; at the most they can starve and die as they are dying in Ethiopia. But it is not a danger to the world. In fact, in a...
... could not. I have tried to fall like a feather - I could not. I have tried to fall like a feather - I came down with a thump on the ground. I have bruised my body, broken one of my legs! Please don't ask that question. "And it does not happen every day. It happens only when I forget myself completely. When the dancer disappears in the dance then I don't know what happens because I am not there...
... they can torture themselves - they became great saints. These are qualities? What has religion to do with fasting? What has religion to do with torturing yourself? - lying down on a bed of nails, making thousands of wounds in the body? In a hot country like India, where the sun is almost showering fire on you, you will find saints sitting surrounded with fire. Much wood which is on fire is...
... these people are going even farther. They are not even horizontal, they are standing on their heads, so all the blood of the body moves towards the head. And soon their heads are as intelligent as your feet. I don't see what transformation they have managed, what they have contributed to the world, what beauty, what joy. Their contribution is nil. No religious saints have been able to make this earth...
