... 1: Maneesha has asked a question: OUR BELOVED MASTER, IS THE WITNESS A PRESENCE OR SIMPLY AN ABSENCE - THE ABSENCE OF IDENTIFICATION WITH BODY AND MIND? Maneesha, it is a difficult question - difficult only because your mind never accepts contradictions, and existence absolutely is in favor of contradictions. In fact, existence is made of contradictions. So these two words, presence and absence...
..., he has made me this terrific offer. He wants to give me the Iron Cross!" "The Iron Cross?" shouts God, in amazement. "You idiot! Look what happened when you got that wooden one!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen. Now look inwards with your total life energy, with your total...
... clock. Whatever you are doing, do it with full awareness and with a grace that shows that you have recognized the buddha in the deepest core of your being. To make it more clear, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Just watch, be a witness. You are not the body, you are not the mind; you are simply the witnessing, and this witnessing is the buddha. The spring has come and the cherry tree has blossomed into...
... DOES NOT CONSIST IN SITTING OR LYING DOWN. THE DHARMA GOES ON FOREVER AND NEVER ABIDES IN ANYTHING." It has no particular form, it has no particular place; it goes on moving into different forms. You will not be able to find it in any form, in any body, in any posture. You will have to look within. It is only found in the emptiness, because emptiness cannot sit, cannot stand up, cannot lie down...
...;I must sleep with your wife," says Ali Baba, "and in return, I will pay you her weight in gold." Boris hesitates, and then he insists that he will need a few days. "To think the deal over?" asks Ali Baba, anxiously. "No, no!" cries Boris, "to fatten her up!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Let your body be completely...
...... (Drumbeat) Relax. Watch -- the body is not you, the mind is not you. Only the watching, only the witnessing is you. This witnessing is your eternity. With this witnessing comes all the ecstasies, all the blessings that existence can offer to you. The deeper you are, the more watchful you are -- the more silent, the more peaceful. It is a great event. Every evening you go a little deeper into your...
... how to get out of this wheel. This wheel is your slavery. And to get out of this slavery has been the only longing of seekers of truth and freedom. Once you have realized that your being can remain in the universe without any body, any form - it can be formless and still there, spread all over existence - all your efforts will be how to attain that great freedom. In the East we have called the...
... ultimate experience of such people moksha, which means absolute freedom. Freedom from the body, freedom from the mind, freedom from any kind of chains around you, freedom from form - just a pure consciousness. Still it has an individuality, an invisible center which knows, "I am." In fact, "for the first time I am in my true essence." Anand Somen, deja vu is an authentic experience...
... form is simply always fresh, young, free, and the whole universe is available to it. Its empire is great. Once Gautam Buddha was asked, "You say again and again that if you become absolutely conscious you will not be born again into the body and your empire will be the whole existence. But what about the many people who become enlightened, have already become enlightened? How can I alone be the...
... AND SOMETHING HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU AND ME WHICH WENT BEYOND MIND AND HEART. I FELT MY BODY MOVING IN A WAY I COULD NEVER DO DELIBERATELY. FOR SECONDS EVERYTHING STOPPED, I HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING. IT WAS LIKE A DELICIOUS, FEARLESS DYING. FOR A LONG TIME AFTERWARDS I FELT DRUNK, WEAK AND STRONG AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. DID I JUMP TOO SHORT, OR DIDN'T I JUMP AT ALL? THE...
... ONLY CERTAINTY I HAVE NOW IS THAT I CANNOT JUMP. BELOVED MASTER, PLEASE COMMENT. Premda, I am aware that something happened to you. It was a jump, and it was not short. But it was a jump of consciousness - that is why you are puzzled. And when consciousness jumps, the body goes into strange postures, which you could not do deliberately even if you wanted to. The jump of consciousness was not...
... meditators start having a sweet taste in their mouth. Perhaps all the five senses may have something to say about meditation. Eyes - it has always been known that they express your meditativeness; the energy that jumps from one person to another jumps from your eyes to the other person's eyes. Eyes are the most sensitive part of your body; naturally they are capable of catching the subtlest vibration of...
... because you are decorating your body. Washing your mouth, your teeth, is ugly...! If this is all that self-love means then please don't do it to your enemies. Don't do it to your neighbors - Jesus says, "Love your neighbors just the way you love yourself." The maxims on the surface look very beautiful, but the implications are not very beautiful. And his whole life Jesus pretends that he is...
... really deeply disrespectful, and one cannot conceive that women should be made from the rib of a man. It shows many things. It shows that the woman is just a small part of the human body; she cannot be equal. How can a rib be equal to the whole man? To reduce her completely, the strategy has been used in the story to make her out of a rib; otherwise there seems to be no reason. Why should she not be...
... people going. Nobody comes again, particularly people who have become enlightened. Even if they want to come again, they cannot. Buddha cannot come back again. So his statement that he or anybody else who is awakened will be coming back can only be taken symbolically. The quality of awakeness is the same. It does not matter what body the awakening happens in. Vishnu is a mythological figure. He is not...
... creating it for a very valid reason. But slowly, slowly they found that over three hundred years people lost the idea of Buddha. There was only a tree. Nobody remembered that somebody had sat under the tree who had become so absent that he could not be sculpted. At that very time, Alexander the Great came to India. His face was beautiful, his body was beautiful - and all the Buddhist statues resemble...
... very disciplined body. They changed the statue totally. They took the outer form of Alexander's body. He was not a meditator, he was not a silent man, he was not compassionate, he was as cruel as one can be. He was murderous. He was so full of desire that he wanted to conquer the whole world. He was just the opposite of Buddha, who was desireless, silent, the most cultured man humanity has produced...
... great energy started flowing from his hand into Bennett's body. Bennett became young again, just within minutes. He opened his eyes, he could not believe it. He looked at his hands -- all his paleness had disappeared. There was a feeling of rejuvenation, almost a rebirth. But when he looked at Gurdjieff, he could not believe it -- he had become pale. Bennett had never seen him so weak, and he could...
.... In fact, the mind and the senses are one phenomenon. The senses are doors of the mind, connecting it with the world. Eyes, ears, nose, hands, the whole body -- all your six senses are nothing but your six connections with existence. Mind goes on gathering information, energy, nourishment, from all these senses. Mind is only your seventh sense and nothing else -- or in other words, the central pool...
... shook him and told him, 'Look how many dangers there are for drunkards, how many things in the body can go wrong.' He listened, and I was happy because he said, 'Enough is enough, I will stop it from tomorrow.' And from the next day he stopped purchasing the newspaper, but the drinking continued -- why bother about newspapers that create such trouble?" What kind of dialogue is possible? Nobody...
... occupying the same space - not the candles, but the light; not your body but your presence. I am not talking about surrender, but you are experiencing it. It is no longer destructive of your self-respect, no longer destructive of your individuality. It has nothing to do with obedience; it has nothing to do with any submission. The word ?surrender' comes from the vocabulary associated with war. When two...
... about something, then some very small thing starts looking very big. You have a small wound, and you start playing with the wound, and you don't allow it to heal - and you want the wound to heal. But touching the wound again and again and remaining concentrated on the wound is not going to heal it. Forget all about it. The body has its own wisdom; it will heal it. Don't interfere in the body's way...
... suicide - he jumped into the Ganges from the mountain. He had come with such a great expectation of respect, that he would be hailed as the greatest Hindu of the age - and what happened was just the opposite. Ramateertha's followers say that he took samadhi in the Ganges. It was not samadhi; samadhi is possible only when you are enlightened and you feel that this body is no more needed, that it has done...
..., so fragile, that he may not be able to keep his body and his soul together. The sudden lightning experience will become the death of the body, the separation from the body. And that's what happened. I have seen many musicians but none was of his quality. He could use anything as an instrument - just iron rods and he would start playing with those rods. And you would be amazed that he could create...
... inside. They could not believe it. The pyramid was three thousand years old, so the cat must have died three thousand years ago. Just by accident she may have entered when they were closing it, and could not get out. But the body of the cat was absolutely fresh, as if it had just died. No stink... in three thousand years. Then the scientists started looking at the shape of the pyramids - there must be...
... remains without any change. It is your ultimate being. In this ultimateness you are no more there, but the whole is. The dewdrop has disappeared in the ocean, or the ocean has disappeared in the dewdrop. This is one of the greatest moments to become a witness. Witness that you are not the body... Witness that you are not the mind... Witness that you are only a pure witnessing consciousness.... The...
... the inner space, otherwise there is no need of any religion, and no need of any temple. This very body becomes the temple. And this very consciousness becomes the buddha. These are the three small steps.... First, request the buddha, the internal and the eternal flame to follow you, to become part of your ordinary day-to-day life. In the second step, you start becoming a shadow to the buddha. He...
