..., equally valuable. And death is a great equalizer. When you die all distinctions drop, and a dead Hitler is just like a dead dog - no difference. Can you see any difference between a dead dog and a dead Hitler, or even a dead Buddha? No distinction can be made, the body is just the same: dust unto dust. And those who can love can become, and feel, an equality with the whole existence - even with rocks...
.... If you are in love, you will feel a vibration that everything is equal, even a rock is as equal as you. Then there is no death because then you cannot die - you have felt such a unity with existence. This unity will continue. The form will disappear, the body will be no longer there, but the inner most unity will remain. In new waves you will arise, in new trees you will flower, in new beings you...
... - many impossible things become possible because a sage is the only miracle in the world. He lives in the body and he is no longer the body, he is here with you and no longer with you, he touches you and yet a vast, infinite distance exists between you and him. A sage is the only miracle. If you live around him, just silently, just absorbing, drinking his wine, soon you will feel the miracle and that...
... by the sickness of transformation." I said,"But in life as well there are people who never change at all. Their principles too are eternal and they too keep their eyes shut against any change lest they too should be afflicted by the sickness of change. But aren't here too a few who do change?" The dead replied in a body, " No. No. No. How can that happen here? None of us is...
.... What I myself see after gaining the eyes is that only God exists, nothing else. What I used to know in blindness was that while God did not exist, everything else did. 224. Truth is one. Hence splitting existence into two is the most deep-rooted of all blind beliefs. What exists is solitary and without a second. Nature -- God, body -- soul, insentient -- sentient -- such differentiation has no place...
... from Truth. Discussion and deliberation separate Truth from the Self. In that perception, devoid of thought there is neither soul nor body, neither God, nor nature. But there is something which cannot be assigned a name. I call it the Supreme Soul. That . unknown, nameless, unsplit entity is Truth. When deliberated upon, it appears in pieces. But when freed of thoughts, it manifests itself in its...
... of life is body, soul, nature and God. All these are the notes of that single melody. All is life. There is nothing dead or insentient. All is nectar and life, far removed from death. Waves come rolling and surging in life's ocean and eventually merge therein. They are there both when they rise as well as when they disappear. They exist in both these conditions because the ocean exists. Individuals...
... - "I will be here." But you couldn't see him when he was in the body, so how will you be able to see him when he is not in the body? And look at the strange phenomenon: many Christians see him with their eyes closed, praying, they see a vision - and the nearest disciples could not see him when he was present. What is happening? These Christs which you see in your prayers are just your...
...." And then when he is dead, millions of people close their eyes and see him and enjoy him, the same people who crucified him when he was here in the body. The same people go on imagining and thinking about him - because this imagination is not a fire, it is a consolation. It consoles you: "I have seen Christ." People come to me and they say, "I have seen Christ," and they look...
... at me so that I should say, "Yes, you have seen him." Then they go away very happy - children playing with toys. If I say, "This is foolishness, drop all this imagination!" they feel very unhappy, they never come back to me. Why go to such a man who destroys, destroys your nice dreams? Christ, when alive, you miss; how can you meet him when he is not there in the body? But again...
... Available: N.A. Length: N.A. The first question: Question 1: THE REVOLUTION FEELS TO BE HOT, HEADY AND SHARP. WHEREAS LOVE FEELS TO BE SOFT, SMOOTH AND DELICATE. HOW DO LOVE AND REVOLUTION GO TOGETHER? JUST as man and woman go together. Just as the head and the heart go together in you, just as the body and the soul go together in you. The heart cannot exist without the head and the head cannot exist...
... beg, how many things he should accept, how many monks should go walking together for their begging, whether nuns and monks should be together or not, or how much distance should be kept - the details are infinite. If a nun is ill, whether the monk should touch her body or not. Then there are details within details: if she is old or young - if she is old it is okay, if she is young, no. When a nun is...
... liking. Love is never ordinary - it can't be, it is intrinsically extraordinary. It is not of this world. When you say to a woman or a man 'I love you' you are simply saying 'I cannot be deceived by your body, I have seen you. Your body may become old but I have seen you, the bodiless you. I have seen your innermost core, the core that is divine.' Liking is superficial. Love penetrates and goes to the...
... thoughts cannot satisfy your thirst, thoughts cannot satisfy your hunger. Whether people think you are well-fed or not is not the question; you cannot deceive the body. Real food is needed, pictures of food won't do. Real water is needed, pictures of water, formulas about water, won't do. H2O cannot quench your thirst. Once you understand this, then the discovery starts; then you are in search of the...
... himself. And the second basic thing about man to be remembered is: man is the only animal who stands erect - the only animal who walks on his two hind legs. This has created a very unique situation for man. Animals walk on their four legs. They can look only in one direction. Man stands on his two feet - he can look in all directions simultaneously. There is no need to turn his whole body; just the...
... without any bracketing. You don't put anything aside. You are simply available. If the nightingale sings, you are available. If the sun is felt, touches you on the body and you feel the warmth, you are available. If the wind passes by, you feel it, you are available. A child cries, a dog barks; you are simply aware. You don't have any object. Concentration is objective. Meditation has no object to it...
... be made alert and aware, your life may have a glimpse of satori, samadhi. Patanjali, in his Yoga Sutras, also says that deep sleep is like samadhi, with only one difference: the awareness is not there. In samadhi, you are as deep asleep as in any sleep, but you are alert. The whole mechanism is asleep; body, mind - both are asleep. But you are alert. So sometimes it has happened that a man was hit...
... the stages. And even you, when you are not in your mother's womb, your body contains sea water; and not a small quantity - you are eighty per cent sea water, eighty per cent! And in your body the water has to contain the same saltiness as the sea; that's why if you miss salt, you don't feel energy, you don't feel vital, you feel weak. That's why salt is one of the most necessary things in life; even...
... start beating himself every morning. There has been a sect, a Christian sect, and the greatest saint was one who would flog his body to blood every morning. People would come and watch. Just think of those people. They would watch, and the saints would be flogging their bodies, and blood would be coming, and their bodies would be tortured. And people would watch with glee - seeing who was the greatest...
.... Forms go on changing, forms are momentary; life is eternal. But remember that life is expressed through moments. Don't create a separation between the moment and the eternal, and don't start searching for the eternal, and don't start sacrificing the momentary - because the eternal expresses itself through the momentary, the soul expresses itself through the body. God has not made the world, God has...
.... Even beggars are thrilled, excited. There is nothing to be excited about, but they are hoping. Why is it happening so much in America? - the ordinary problems of life have disappeared, the mind is free to rise higher than the ordinary consciousness. The mind can rise beyond body, beyond mind itself. The consciousness is ready to take wings and the society does not allow it. Out of ten suicides, about...
... nine are sensitive people. Seeing the meaninglessness of life, seeing the indignity that life imposes, seeing the compromises that one has to make for nothing, seeing all the taciturnity, looking around and seeing this - "a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing" - they decide to get rid of the body. If they could have wings in the body, they would not decide so. Then suicide has another...
... the other day he was sitting in front of me and talking about his problems. And sometimes I wonder... he has so many problems, and he is a groupleader. What will he be doing with people? What kind of help can come from him? And he has such a fat body and he cannot even change that; and he goes on stuffing himself. And these were his problems. And he was so afraid that he was insisting again and...
... is the desire to meet the opposite on the level of the body, and religion is the desire to meet the opposite on the level of being. It is a desire. It is a thirst. When it arises, only then can it be talked about. You may bring intellectual questions; that doesn't mean anything. You may ask whether God exists or not; that is not the point. Are you thirsty? Has the desire arisen to meet the opposite...
... on the level of being -- neither on the level of body nor of mind, but at the level of being, your totality? Are you ready for that jump? Then understanding is possible. That's why Heraclitus says: ALTHOUGH THIS LOGOS IS ETERNALLY VALID... The logos is everywhere present -- in the trees, in the stones, in the sky, everywhere! In you, all around you the logos is present, because the whole life is...
... to walk because they had such small feet. It was impossible... because the feet exist in the right proportion to the body. You cannot have small feet because nature knows better than you. But they were trying, they were trying to improve nature, improve upon nature. They suffered long. And the whole misery of man is this, it can be reduced to a single law: if you try to be exceptional you will...
... find wrongs because an ego needs continuous discomfort, it exists in discomfort. When everything is okay the ego disappears. Says Chuang Tzu: "When the shoe fits, the body is forgotten, the feet are forgotten." And when everything is forgotten, how can you cling to the ego? Ego needs that shoes should continue pinching so that you can remember who you are. That's why an egoist cannot love...
... respond, you respond here and now. He looked at the woman, her body - too much fat. He felt the heart of the woman, the pulse. He was a wise man; he created a device. He lied to the woman: 'You are going to die.' And the woman was transformed. People who go to the courts and to the capitals, and can be purchased, cannot be much of the wise. It happened in Japan: An emperor became very anxious to know...
..., body, whatsoever you have, put it to the criterion: whether it will be taken by death, whether you will be separated from it, or not. And you will find that, except samadhi, everything will be taken by death. That's why Sufis say it is better to die to all these things which will be taken by death finally. Eventually they are going to be taken away. Die to them, and arise in samadhi - because that is...
... so beautiful - and they have suddenly become ugly?' In that night, reality penetrated. He kept it to himself. One day, he was going to participate in a festival. On the way he came to see an old man. He had never seen one before. He came to see a dead body being carried to the burning GHAT. He had never seen one. He asked his driver, the chariot-driver, 'What is the matter? What has happened to...
... observed that a long mood of happiness also tires you? Because it is an excitement. You cannot be happy for a long period, otherwise it will be too much for your body, for your mind; for your psychosomatic being it will be too much. You cannot be because it makes you tremble, it is like a fever. People cannot remain happy for ever. They will die; they will have heart attacks, blood pressure, and many...
... the tree coming slowly, falling towards the earth, and you will hear the whisper of the buddha. Once you have become accustomed, once you have become attuned to the master, the whole existence has the same color. You see the master everywhere. The whole existence becomes his voice, his body. Then everything reminds you of him. And remember, I say it categorically: EVERYTHING reminds you of him. A...
... child giggling, and you will remember buddha. A dead body being carried, and you will remember buddha. Whatsoever happens around you, you have become so attuned to the master that everywhere you will find his signature. Bodhidharma remains silent, just as Buddha had remained silent with the third visitor who came in the evening. In those few moments something jumped from Buddha's flame to the inquirer...
... NO FORM, THEREFORE ONE SEES IT WITHOUT SEEING." These are very deep, profound, pregnant words. Reality has no form. Truth has no form, no body. Truth is unmanifest, unembodied. Dharmakaya is the Buddhist word for truth, the reality, the ultimate, or you can use the word God. But that is not Buddha's word: he uses dharmakaya. "DHARMAKAYA HAS NO FORM, THEREFORE, ONE SEES IT WITHOUT SEEING...
.... Then clinging will become your misery, and you will be afraid of death - and you cannot avoid that either, because rest is a great need. After seventy, eighty, ninety years of continuous functioning the body needs rest, the brain cells need rest, the soul needs rest. But first you cling to life and become miserable because you cannot hold onto it - it goes on slipping out of your hands - then you...
