"

we have slipped conpletely inside

The son goes to the father when he needs money, the father goes to the son when he wants to give him a sermon; otherwise the two dont meet, the meeting never happens.

When it rises, it is in a state of activity.

There is no meeting point between a father and a son.

and just as a flower blossoms when the sun rises, similarily the spring of bliss bursts forth looking at the void within.

The servant trembled before him, his son trembled before him, his wife was scared to face him.

If you dont remain stiff with your son, his pocket money goes on increasing.

goes on falling.

I am not asking you to think about death, because such thinking will mislead you.

Where will you run from it? Where will you go?

just die.

Thats why man likes to live in a crowd; he feels afraid if he is left alone.

Everything will be lost.

There is great danger in being fluid, there is insecurity in it.

Love means an attempt to reconstruct, once again, by putting different parts together, the relationship we have broken off with the whole.

the body has remained just like a shell

.

Thinking about death, what will you do?

the breathing has relaxed.

For example, you go out to defeat a man, and before you knock him down he lays himself down on the ground; and before you sit on him he invites you and lets you sit on him.

If you talk to your servant gently, he also tries to behave like a boss.

No scripture lasts forever, although of course it lasts a little longer.

Lao Tzu said, "No one could defeat me because I always remained defeated.

Dont take too much trouble, dont bother too much; theres no need to exert yourself -- just come and sit on me.

It will be a mess; everything will become ugly and distorted.

A great spectrum of bliss will unfold within that very void

only a flame of knowing has remained inside

.

Now I will give some suggestions, and you feel them along with me.

.

This is the only cause of separation: we are not flowing, we have become like blocks; we are not like water, we are like frozen ice.

.

We have called it darshan while they have called it philosophy, and there is a fundamental difference between the two.

In fact, it is even more enjoyable.

We get up every morning and go to work.

Sometimes we say that such-and-such a person is very cold -- there is no warmth in him; he becomes hard like a rock.

The death of the seed becomes life for the tree.

the thoughts are relaxing.

Whatever it was before in the ocean, it is now still the same, but it is at rest.

.

Let go completely

The man who penetrates death, who is not afraid of death, who does not run away from it, who begins to live it -- his I disappears, his ego disappears.

If you want to know a flower, dont think about it -- look at the flower.

You will always be insulted because you are filled with the desire for recognition.

You will have to see it.

They said, "You never told us this before! We also wish to be victorious.

One might feel afraid to go to bed, arguing, "It is such a joy to wake up in the morning, it is better not to fall asleep or else it will spoil the whole charm of waking up.

"

Soon it was evening, and here I was, completely oblivious that I am Kamal who has come here to cut grass.

.

The truth of the matter is that there is hardly any home where the father and the son meet each other lovingly.

Hitler, Genghis Khan, and other such people, killed millions in order to assure themselves that "No one can kill me, since I kill millions myself.

Darshan means to see; darshan does not mean thinking.

.

We are all waves risen above the ocean of consciousness.

She isnt recovering from her illness because she stays up all night, afraid she may not wake up alive.

First the "I" says, "Break yourself away from the all, isolate yourself; you are different from the whole.

Remember, an ocean can be without a wave but a wave cannot exist without the ocean.

But neither of them is eager, anxious to know death.

Thats it! The matter is over! Then everything is accepted.

Let go totally.

.

only seeing.

I could die.

This friend has asked, "Why think of death?" I dont say to think.

.

Love is Dangerous

.

To his great amazement, he realizes, "What a great mystery lies hidden in death! What I knew as death and kept running away from, actually conceals within itself the source of supreme life.

As soon as you come to know it a transformation happens in your life -- because death is not.

Also, if someone feels like lying down during the experiment he should do so.

So he will say, "Money will be lost, wealth will be lost, but my work, my scripture will survive" -- and that is precisely what he wants.

So the friend asks: "Why should we think about death? Why not forget it? Why not just live?" I would like to say to him that, forgetting death, no one has ever lived, nor can anyone ever live.

Only one who is afraid of death has ego, because ego means a constricted personality, a solid knot.

.

The body is relaxing

Go on feeling

.

move further back from them.

everthing elso has become a void

Then one comes to know that birth is there and so is death.

the breathing is calming down.

.

.

A cold person becomes hard, unable to flow, closed from all sides.

And everything has disappeared

You may or may not have noticed that people who are engaged in a creative activity -- a painter, a musician, a poet, a writer -- are not too concerned with having sons, simply because they have found a substitute.

the body is going on relaxing

The ocean has always been; it is only the wave which has taken form and then disintegrated.

Two lovers long so much for their love to become immortal -- they sing songs day and night.

Jesus went on, "Do you call this woman my mother? I have no mother.

" How many times have you heard this before too? How many times have you read it before? Or you may say, "The flower is very fresh" -- but this too, how many times have you heard or read it before? What good are thoughts? How will you be able to enter the being of that roseflower by thinking about it? Thinking can only lead you into whatsoever is in your memory about a rose.

and go deeper within

Death is the gateway to knowing life.

)

So convenience shapes our thinking; our thoughts are formed out of convenience.

mind is becoming empty

" What does this mean?

The same law works: keep on becoming cold.

.

Kabir went over, shook him, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Kamal opened his eyes.

.

So I am not saying you should think about death.

.

This means that when he took his first step towards Calcutta, he began to reach Calcutta.

We are a frightened people; we want to make everything secure first.

as if a fountain of bliss opens up and bliss abounds all over.

But scriptures also become lost.

" And Jesus says, "If a man snatches your coat, also give him your shirt immediately.

What I call the I is dying all the time.

You have come for that, havent you? So go ahead.

let go

the body has completely relaxed.

Mercy and sympathy bring warmth; cruelty and ruthlessness bring cold.

Look within wakefully.

How can a wave survive as a wave? It will die.

"

.

He is quite rich, with a great deal of property.

What we call living is just another name for dying gradually.

When it rises in the morning, death departs; everything becomes warm and hot.

How many fathers have done this?

What fun can there be in defeating someone who doesnt even want to win?"

No one should be between you two.

As soon as the wave comes to believe it is separate from the ocean, it begins to die, its death comes nearer.

.

And one who has not loved has never known anything.

Anyone in fear has to shrink inside, and whatever shrinks turns into a knot.

.

Hence he is not interested in having a family; he has created a different kind of family.

There was so much joy in being the grass, joy that, being Kamal, I never had before.

One can never deny death.

Eluding death is eluding life as well.

You have always thought, you have never seen.

let go

And just looking at it continuously, I dont know when, but I also became a blade of grass.

And remember, the warmer a person is the more simple he is.

your own breathing will seem to be so far away.

Actually, life is sustained by warmth; death is cold, below zero.

Thats why we change our beliefs many times.

The day property is distributed, the question of sharing women is bound to arise.

.

We are going on slipping inside, there where life is.

He will of course be gone, but he wants to create another wave which will continue further on, which will at least identify the wave it came from.

Even underneath the dyed color the hair is still white.

" Mary stopped, stood there in shock.

Look

Somebody from the crowd shouted, "Make way, make room for Jesus mother.

The assumption is that, when we ourselves are capable of killing people, who can kill us?

Thats why we turn love into security.

" The wave says, "Ill disappear, but Ill leave a little wave -- it will survive after me, the chain will continue, my name shall remain.

I was never kicked out from any place, because I always sat near the entrance where people remove their shoes.

.

look within

I said no one could ever defeat me, and you are saying you too want to be victorious.

We can run an experiment.

leave your eyes relaxed and close the eyelids

"

It does not show understanding, it merely shows our concern for convenience.

He will say, "How can this be possible? What nonsense are you talking about? This is all wrong!"

And one who fears death can never live -- both things cannot exist together.

So a solid wall of coldness had to be erected all around -- that would scare the wife, that would scare the son.

Our separation from God has happened because of one reason alone: we are not liquid, we have become solid.

One who will lose himself shall find, and one who will save himself shall be lost.

With each step Calcutta drew nearer and nearer.

Let her come.

This phenomenon of death will have to be seen, this phenomenon of death will have to be lived, this phenomenon of death, that "I am dying, I am dying," will have to be accepted.

There, the two streams disappear and merge into each other.

A FRIEND HAS ASKED: SOME PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE.

The wave has created its own organization.

.

It is just as if I have a coin in my hand and I say, "Why bother about the reverse side of the coin? Why not just forget it?" If I give up the reverse side, then I will lose the front side of theread.99csw.com coin too, because both make two sides of the same coin.

But the man who is afraid of death, who is eluding it -- how can he love death, how can he have its darshan, how can he ever see death? When death appears before him, he turns his back on it.

And even by the waning hours of afternoon there was no sign of Kamal.

On its own a wave feels more frightened that it may disappear, that it may really disappear.

We take all the measures, we take the full social precautions; only then do we accept the individual in marriage.

There is a vast difference between convenience and truth.

your own body will be seen so far away

Why should I disappear?" then the seed is bound to rot.

.

The thoughgts are also dropping

drown in the depths and go on looking

leave your eyes relaxed and close the eyelids.

.

These are all conveniences.

The wave has declared, "I am the ocean," and now it is not attempting to connect itself with each and every other wave.

Love means warmth; a cold love carries no meaning.

Thats why no one wants to live without love and be miserable.

Their paintings will survive, their poetry will survive, their sculptures will survive; they dont care about having a son.

Different people do different jobs -- people sweat the whole day.

" And Lao Tzu said further, "And no one has ever been able to insult me.

.

.

Death is the final defeat, and we all want to run away from it.

I became the grass itself.

the breathing is going on calming down

disappear

Lao Tzu went on to say, "But you are asking something else.

Once we become fluid-like, the separation will no longer exist; but we will only become fluid-like when we agree to see and to live death, when we accept that death exists.

You heard something different.

" What this means is: dont even give him the trouble of turning your other cheek -- you do it for him.

When Lao Tzu was about to die, somebody asked him to reveal a few secrets of his life.

The son is also afraid; he sneaks by his father.

It is dangerous to form a relationship, because if you form a relationship with somebody then sooner or later he starts asking for money.

Only the outer sheath is formed and unformed.

If anyone ever came to challenge me he found me already defeated, so he couldnt have any fun defeating me.

The thought is gratifying to this man not because it is right.

Slowly take a few deep breaths

Thats why scientists, painters, sculptors, writers and poets are not overly concerned with having sons.

Jesus has spoken some very strong words.

Meditation means to move into what is, where we are.

It will take time, but the journey will continue.

One who wants to escape from death will inevitably grab hold of some belief.

We have named the same science darshan.

The ego is like frozen ice and love is like water, fluid, flowing.

Man has always tried to forget about death, he has tried not to think about it.

You have never wondered however, why there is so much fear of death.

One wants a wife, a husband, a son, a mother, a brother, a friend, a society, an organization, a nation.

.

One who wakes up right will sleep right.

A waterfall may emerge and only bliss flows all around, which spreads all over you, in your every fiber, in your each particle.

The father is afraid, and he has surrounded himself with a solid wall.

It is not a sudden event; it is a growth that begins with birth.

leave the breathing relaxed

the mind will go on quietening.

We have to know what death is, see it as it is.

You will move ahead in your thoughts while the flower will remain lying there.

One day life will leave you totally; even if you want to keep it, it wont stay.

Some of us have turned into ice -- most of us have.

We can put it this way: only the ego dies, not the soul.

You will think according to your convenience; your convenience determines your thinking.

.

Everyone is seeking love: somebody wants to receive your love, somebody wants to give you love.

No one ever forced me out of there or pushed me aside; nor did anyone say, Get lost! because that was the last place.

But this we will come to see only when we have seen death, when we have had the vision of death, when we have encountered death face-to-face -- never before.

look within

When they are an integral part of the ocean, all waves exist in peace and rest.

If you see an increasing number of people believing in God, you should know that more and more people are becoming happy.

.

.

One who has fear of death shrinks within.

Relationship happens where thought is no more and where darshan, seeing, has begun.

Yet when a few waves gather together they feel more reassured -- some sort of organization is created; a crowd is created.

If the body wants to drop, let it drop

But if the wave, by falling back into the ocean, were to make itself cease to exist as separate, if it were to come to know that it is in fact the ocean, then there wouldnt be any question of the waves disappearing.

When I stayed with him and came to know him closely, I asked him what all this was about.

When the stomach is upset one feels like becoming an atheist, and when the stomach is okay one feels like believing in God! How can a man possibly believe that there is a God when he has a headache? If God exists and so does the headache, how can you connect the two?

The final step will be as instrumental in bringing him to Calcutta as the initial step.

The body has relaxed

There are people on this earth who propound, "Today property, tomorrow women.

One day Jesus was standing in the market surrounded by a crowd.

That which binds also breaks.

If a fear of falling asleep were to overtake somebody, it would make life difficult.

Only a happy mind rings bells in the temple, kindles lamps and chants prayers.

let go completely

Leave the thoughts also

Thats why we say "a warm welcome.

Thoughts are always stale.

keep watching the breath.

I would like to say one more thing that may not have occurred to you before.

Hence, it is meaningless to try to save yourself from death, or to postpone it by saying that death is in the future.

Thats why they have named their science of thinking philosophy.

let go of the wave, be one with the ocean.

.

relax your body

They are afraid of death too.

We are seeing

.

You want me to tell you the technique of winning.

Tapascharya means one is not concerned with conveniences; instead, one has to know whatever is, whichever way it is.

Seeing leads you into love; seeing is the source of love.

.

.

we have retreated back

If you think of winning, you will lose.

So remember, if you see atheism increasing around the world, know well that misery must be on the increase too.

The other day it was convenient for him to think that the property be divided; now it is inconvenient to think that property be divided.

They are the indications that death has started approaching, that it is sure to come.

These are all endeavors of the ego; these are attempts by one who has broken himself away from it, to unite once again with the whole.

.

And remember also, the man who attempts to escape his own death will continue to work towards the killing of others.

a flame of knowing

.

I was very puzzled to see that inwardly he was very soft, but very hard on the outside.

then open your eyes

Unless, of course, it becomes ice.

die completely from outside.

Remember this: no fact can ever be known by thinking.

Philosophy means conceptual thinking.

As a wave it was one with the ocean; however, if it becomes a chunk of ice it will survive, of course, but then it will be cut off from the ocean.

Waves, in fact, unite with each other and create an organization mainly to save themselves from the ocean.

A thought is always about convenience.

People would begin to thank God.

And how long will it survive in that state? Whatsoever is frozen will undoubtedly melt.

Go on relaxing the body completely.

Retreat back even from the breathing, call your energy back from there too.

Thinking is nothing but reiterating a thought.

Death is the ultimate defeat; after that there is no possibility for the enemy to win, ever.

Look intently into this void

move back from them too

.

No one can enter into him, nor can he enter into anyone.

We cant even imagine a person like Jesus, so full of love, can utter such words as, "I have no mother.

Actually, both are aspects of the same thing.

If the wave wants to survive as a wave, it cannot; it is bound to die.

What she said at the dinner table comes back to you -- and the thought stands between you.

One who sleeps right will wake up right.

.

And remember, if you still have a mother, then you wont be able to come near me.

The disciples pleaded, "Even so, please explain to us.

Now it will fall into the struggle to protect itself from death.

let go completely from outside

Although it will come to its completion in the future, it is actually taking place every moment.

And for the man who does not find love it becomes a problem.

Leave it relaxed

Killing others, he believes no one can kill him, because now he himself has the power to kill.

A vision has nothing to do with convenience.

.

Otherwise, these facts eventually lead us nowhere but to death.

The body has become lifeless

Only go on looking wakefully

Question 1

A writer doesnt care much about having a son, about having an offspring.

What I am saying is: here is death, right now within you, and you have to see it.

"Once again you are making a mistake.

.

What we call samsara, the world, is the state of activity, and what we call moksha, liberation, is the state of rest.

come back from meditation.

" Thats why a father feels unhappy if he doesnt have a son -- it means he couldnt arrange his immortality.

" He said, "I am very scared.

The man who is ready to meet death with absolute spontaneity, he alone is ready to live as well.

.

If we dont even know the circumference, how will we ever know the center? And if we run away from the circumference, we will never reach closer to the center.

.

The West has a science of thinking -- it consists of investigation, logic, analysis.

the thoughts are going on calming down

eveything has disappeared.

.

He has asked the right thing.

" But we know this is ridiculous: sleeping is the other side of waking up.

The West puts great emphasis on thinking.

Let go

The ocean, however, can exist without a wave.

" And how interesting it is, that breaking away from the whole makes you miserable.

the breathing is calming down, is calming down.

No one ever wanted to be in that spot.

as if one goes on falling in a deep well

Inside九九藏書

How can we falsify it? No matter how much we go on falsifying it, it makes no difference -- it is approaching, non-stop.

.

It will have to die.

Mind has become completely empty

This is the reason one who is to die wants to love.

.

The wave will melt and it will make a big hue and cry, because as soon as it melts it will disappear.

This journey begins with birth.

.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THEM? ARE THESE PEOPLE NOT AFRAID OF DEATH?

During this one hour we will be dying too.

he, the miserable, sick individual.

" By killing others we try to be free of our own death, we want to confirm our independence.

But we are very scared of death, although it is nothing more than a deep sleep.

.

"

"Please tell us its secret also, because we do not like to be insulted either," a disciple said.

.

In fact, in the world of waves, no matter to what extent a wave may prolong itself, ultimately it is bound to be lost.

Look

the body is relaxing

the mind will become even calmer.

The colder it gets, the harder it becomes.

But we are holding on to it.

Either he does not exist, or he has gone mad.

I said, "As such, you are a very simple man.

Death lies hidden in birth.

Soon it was evening and the sun was about to set, so finally, accompanied by a few of his devotees, Kabir set out in search of Kamal.

Thats why our so-called love is very painful, because it is a wave trying to relate with another wave.

Whatsoever is, that has to be known.

go deeper within.

And the same is the case when it heats up two degrees.

A vision is always of truth; a thought is always of convenience.

You recall how she quarreled when you were about to leave for the office in the morning -- and again the thought is present between you.

The others broken ego becomes the strength of our own.

So whenever somebody went to challenge this man, he would immediately lie down on the ground and say, "Come on, sit on me.

The first condition in looking at a roseflower is that the person looking at it should not think.

Once we have seen and recognized that death exists, why should there be any fear? When death is surely there, when the wave knows for certain she is bound to disappear; if the wave has found out that birth itself contains death, if the wave has come to know that its disintegration began the very moment it was created, the matter is finished.

What will your state be then? You would want to run away from there! What else could you do? People watching would laugh and say, "Go on, sit on him; sit comfortably.

The breath will appear to be far away.

Looking at a flower, if you begin thinking about it you will never know the flower, because the more you move into thinking about it, the further it will be removed from you.

.

So the one who knows will warn you at the very first degree that the water will turn into steam -- although you never see water turning into steam anywhere.

(A deep silence prevails

He obviously does not want to save any part of himself, because if he does he will be saving nothing but his misery and pain.

At the first degree the water warms up, but it hasnt turned into steam yet.

Only the bliss prevails all over, all around.

There is no harmony anywhere between the two.

.

mind has become a void

The joy is in defeating one who desires to be victorious.

One who harbors the thought of winning is always the loser.

That is really when a relationship takes place, because then no one exists to disrupt it.

Relax your body

"

.

It may take seventy years for us to die completely, nevertheless this one hour will be a part of it.

A vision is something else.

Thats why we invented marriages -- first we marry, first we take all the necessary measures, then we fall in love -- because love is dangerous.

But in death even you are annihilated as well.

One day life will leave you, so feel it by dropping it now.

Then death takes over.

the breathing is going on calming down

Thinking and seeing are two altogether different processes.

For example, a man sets out from Dwarka for Calcutta.

This is like dying in parts, dying a bit every day.

the breathing is calming down

The breeze was not moving the grass, the breeze was moving me -- the cutter and that which was to be cut had both disappeared.

Those who take philosophy and darshan to be synonymous know nothing.

Belonging to it does not mean the wave joins itself with the ocean; rather, it means the wave knows that "I am not at all different from the ocean.

He has to lose everything that gives warmth to his being.

Light always shone -- the sun rose and set.

I was the lord of my own place; I have always been the lord of my own place.

.

A man who thinks about love may perhaps write a thesis on it, but a lover lives it, sees it; its possible he may not be able to write a thesis.

Love is never cold, it contains warmth.

Thus it is happy in life, it is happy in death -- because it knows that "that which is" is never born nor does it ever die.

do not keep any grip

Lao Tzu said, "The first secret is: no one has ever defeated me in my life.

.

let go completely

the body will be seen lying at a distance

Your conveniences and inconveniences make no difference.

In fact, birth constitutes one end of death, and death constitutes the other end.

I dont say think about the future, I say watch what is already happening now.

No one could insult me because I never desired honor.

Thats why I say: look at death.

.

Every moment is filled with fear of death.

am seeing

This sort of acceptance feels comfortable, thats all.

In fact, only the ego can die; only the ego has a death -- because it is false.

Then all worry over its disappearance is gone, because then the wave knows it existed before its extinction and it will continue to exist even after it has vanished -- not as the I, but as the boundless ocean.

slowly, slowly

Drop it completely, drop all your control

The works of Mahavira and Marx cannot make the least difference.

It is not that after seventy years one dies all of a sudden; death never occurs instantaneously.

"

For example, Jesus says, "If a man slaps your right cheek, offer him the left.

Remember, therefore, that having a vision is a tapascharya, a deep personal commitment to knowing the truth.

Then he lives this truth.

People thought about it a good deal before they called on him.

feel it, the body is relaxing

you have moved further back.

Beliefs dont mean anything.

.

The more a person is afraid, the more he worries about his security, the more solid he becomes.

But the man who has a beautiful woman will certainly protest.

There can never be an original thinker -- only seers are original.

You will hear him say, "Communism, etcetera -- its all nonsense!" What happened to this man? What was convenient to him shaped his thinking.

Once you get the idea that "I am," then how can you be with the rest of the all? If you choose to be with the all, then the I is lost.

Jesus has said, "The one who will save himself will perish; and the one who will efface himself -- no one can ever destroy him.

Then, for whatever time it has, it dances in the sky, rejoices under the rays of the sun, is happy.

.

That which is, is; only forms keep changing.

Putting an end to their lives does not mean they find any joy in death, but since life appears worse than death to them, they prefer death.

Now why turn into ice? Then it will accept being a wave as long as it has to be, and it will accept being the ocean as long as it has to be.

There is an incredible saying of Jesus.

.

.

If we sit here for an hour, we will be dead one hour.

So if you look upon yourself as a wave you will want to avoid death -- you will remain afraid, scared.

am seeing.

Of course we can dye our white hair, but that does not prove death a lie -- it invariably comes.

slowly, slowly you would have slipped into depths

Even in the biggest defeats, you still survive; although defeated, you continue to exist.

Leave the breathing also relaxed.

The breathing is going on calming down

Love is fluid, a man might find his way into anyone.

Sooner or later such questions will surely come up.

How can you remain connected?" So the "I" snaps itself away; but then it gets into trouble -- because, as soon as the "I" separates from the all, it becomes miserable; its end approaches.

One who does not live rightly will not die rightly.

let go completely.

But I was puzzled about one thing: he would never speak kindly to anyone; otherwise he was a good man.

Go on loosening it, feel that the body is relaxing

Jesus says, "When someone comes to defeat you, be defeated readily.

What else would you do? What else can you do with thinking? Could even one single unheard-of and original viewpoint about a rose ever appear in your thoughts? How can it?

Just as there are laws for the freezing of water, there are laws for the freezing of human consciousness.

Do not prevent it

The sun begins to set the moment it rises.

Both comprise bliss.

The urge to kill an enemy comes from our desire to inflict on him the ultimate defeat.

And just by looking at it you will find that what seemed like death from this end, as you enter into it a little, the same thing turns out to be life.

We keep on adding to it.

He is also striving for the same degree of immortality.

The mind will become even calmer

At sunset, the sun reaches exactly where it was at sunrise -- but at sunrise it is in the east, whereas at sunset it is in the west.

The ego is like ice, as hard as a rock.

So when I say death has to be known, I mean we will have to love death as well.

.

Only a flame has remained burning

drown

A poor wave will melt a little sooner, while a rich wave will take a little longer -- what else? The sunrays will take a little longer to melt a big wave, while a smaller wave will melt sooner.

They are not synonymous.

.

.

Actually, it gives us pleasure to destroy somebodys ego because doing so strengthens our own.

" And so I say that a religious man does not belong to any organization -- he neither holds to a family, nor does he own a friend, a father or a brother.

.

Then you were tired, broken, worn out.

The water will turn into steam when it heats to a hundred degrees; however, it started moving closer to becoming steam at the first degree, and then at the second, and the third and so on.

The man who is afraid of death will run away from it.

the body is relaxing

Who knows how many scriptures have already been lost, and how many get lost everyday.

And the fact of the matter is that all these organizations are goread.99csw.coming to disappear -- the ocean below is the only organization.

These facts will have to be seen, will have to be lived.

By running away from the periphery, we also run away from life.

Birth and death are two aspects of the same life.

the thoughts have calmed down.

"

Darshan, seeing, can be original.

Please do something and save her from this fear; otherwise I am in great trouble.

If the seed were to protect itself by saying, "I am scared.

And the man who hasnt been able to love death yet, how will he ever love life? -- because death is a very superficial event and life is a far deeper phenomenon.

The reason for this violence is not that it is caused because people dont drink unstrained water or they eat after sunset, no, it is nothing of that sort.

The rising and the setting go together -- the setting, in fact, lies hidden in the rising.

The experience of ignorance is death; the experience of awareness is immortality.

ask the life to retreat within, and leave the body relaxed.

We will have to see death.

Let the first fifty live in misery and let the other fifty live happy lives.

For example, a wave rises in an ocean.

Thats why thinking is never original.

The mind has become completely a void.

Be seated making a little space around yourself.

the body is relaxing.

as if it is dead, as if the body has become completely lifeless.

He said, "She has been ill lately, and she feels she may die in her sleep, so she is afraid of falling asleep.

the body has relaxed

And this carries a totally different meaning.

If you become frightened of the walls that make up the outer limits of a house, and escape, how will you ever enter the inner dwelling? Death is the periphery and life is the temple at the center of it.

.

As long as it was one with the ocean, there was no death at all -- because the ocean never dies.

The only difference is that we can fail to know it.

"

There is a state of activity and there is a state of rest.

And if someone asks a lover to say something about love, he may close his eyes, tears may start rolling down his cheeks, and he might say, "Please dont ask.

I asked him, "How did this happen?"

So one kind of love is the one where we attempt to rebuild our lost relationship with the whole by adding parts.

The fundamental reason for violence is that man kills others to forget about his own death.

And resting is no less enjoyable than being active.

It is only a question of time, but melting is bound to happen.

Thats why I say death will have to be lived, it will have to be known, it will have to be seen.

Those who are lying down or have fallen down, take a deep breath slowly

Then his life has a liquidity that enables him to flow into others and allows others to flow into him.

.

.

Death is happening every moment; we are dying every day.

And when it falls back into the ocean, it is equally happy in its state of rest.

we are knowing

" What I am saying is that our theism and our atheism, our beliefs -- all of them are the products of conveniences that suit our conditions.

So man is afraid to live alone.

.

.

An old lady was brought to me by her son.

.

" When it disappears as a wave, it still exists -- in a state of rest.

The change is not total, it is a partial transformation.

do not keep any hold over it

This is the reason we are afraid of falling in love.

We are dying this very moment.

Drop your grip completely

He makes a lot of noise -- there should be a revolution, the poor should be poor no longer, property must be divided, and so on.

Every day it approaches nearer -- whether you think about it or not, whether you escape from it or not.

the body is relaxing.

In the final analysis, death is our total defeat.

goes on falling

And thats the reason there is no relationship between husband and wife, between father and son, between mother and son.

Warmth is the symbol of life, cold is the symbol of death.

You may perhaps say he took six months to arrive at Calcutta, but the fact is that it is only because he had started to arrive six months ago that he could arrive six months later.

If a desire to freeze arises in us, the consciousness, otherwise so simple and fluid, freezes and becomes an ego.

"

There is no way to defeat a defeated man.

In fact, defeat begins with the very idea of victory.

.

slowly take a few deep breaths.

a great light of bliss will fill that very void.

Similarly, someone who wishes to die will also grab on to some belief.

What I am asking is: how will one who hasnt even known death yet know what life is? My point is: death is on the circumference; life is at the center.

The East cared for something else.

So its all right for the former wave to disappear -- it leaves another one behind.

How will you escape from it? Where will you escape? Even running away from it, you are ultimately going to run into it.

relax your body

This is what we call love.

This does not mean, however, that he is carefree; it simply means he has found a long-lasting wave; he stops worrying about smaller waves.

A sick and miserable man may find it gratifying to think that everything ends in death.

The very idea that "I will die" sends chills up our spines.

You will find that atheism will increase in the former group and theism will increase in the latter group.

But we are scared of death and so our whole life has become totally crippled.

In the morning the body feels fresh and rejuvenated; it is filled with energy, ready to face another day of activity.

.

WHY DO WE BRING IN THE THOUGHT OF DEATH?

Life seems more painful to them than death; hence they want to finish it.

The more we secure ourselves, the harder and colder the wall of ice is all around us, and it shrinks our entire being.

But even when its at ninety-nine degrees the water does not turn into steam; that will only happen when it reaches one hundred.

and get up very slowly and gently.

When they reached the forest they found Kamal standing in the middle of the thick grass, his eyes closed, swaying like a blade of grass in the breeze.

One who dies properly will take the right steps in his future life.

Please show us the trick.

After that there is no way he can ever be a winner, because then he exists no more.

the consciousness has slipped withinwards

Only he who declares, "I accept death, for death is one of the facts of life -- it is a reality," can be a nonviolent person.

only a flame near the heart has remained burning.

No, thought is never original.

the thoughts are relaxing

I say to you: look at death -- neither should you avoid it nor be afraid of it, nor run away from it.

But have we ever wondered what the meaning of love is?

.

Thats why the sun is the symbol of life, the sun is the symbol of warmth.

You believe in its existence only as long as you have not known it.

That means, first we make sure there is no cause for danger from the person, then we fall in love.

What has the flower to do with what you are thinking? A flower is a fact.

Actually, they have found a son that will last even longer than yours, because even when your son has disappeared, the writers book will still remain.

Look at it.

On the outside, death has happened.

It isnt possible to save one side of the coin and throw the other side on the street.

We have managed our entire system of life in such a way that death should not become visible.

.

They have created a wave which will remain long after they are gone.

show the courage to die

Let go of the body completely, let it fall if it wants to, dont worry about it.

.

But they are more afraid of life than of death.

let go totally

His mother, Mary, came to see him.

He should remove thoughts from his memory; he should become empty, and live in that moment with the flower.

I am not asking you to think, even.

.

Let go

The whole day we are alive; the whole night we are dead.

Even when they came to his door they hesitated to ring the bell, wondering whether they should go in or not.

One who comes to know death will, by and by, uncover it and begin to understand life as well.

Now the division of property would mean dividing his car, dividing his bungalow.

.

Birth is on one side, death is on the other.

If one says, "It is wrong that one man should live in a big house and the other in a shanty," then what is the problem in questioning, "Why should one man have a pretty woman and another man not? The division should be equal.

He says, "The whole mess is because of that unknown one, because of God.

we have remained only a watcher.

Nothing youve ever experienced should be in between.

The father says, "I will disappear, but it doesnt matter -- I will leave my son behind.

Lao Tzu answered, "You made a mistake.

.

.

Only a flame of knowing will go on burning in the void, that "I am knowing"

Then it doesnt want to become frozen ice.

Then whether it disappears or remains, it still exists -- because it knows that "I am not a wave, I am the ocean.

However, if a wave were to assert itself as a wave, it would be filled with ego, and then it would want to break itself away from the ocean.

Of course, he may say the water is heating up, but where is it turning into steam? We can delude ourselves up to the ninety-ninth degree that the water is still not turning into steam, but at the hundredth degree it is bound to become steam.

Thats why theres nothing like Indian philosophy and nothing like Western darshan.

Never think too much about convenience.

Death is such an enormous fact it cannot be ignored; although throughout our lives we try not to think of death -- not because death is not worth thinking about, but because the very thought of it is terrifying.

Deep down, this is avoiding death.

There is a difference between thinking and seeing -- and the difference is significant.

the thoughts are relaxing

You can never know death by thinking about it.

The mind will become even calmer.

.

Leave the body completely relaxed as if there is no life in it.

Now, once again, you can sing new songs, something you couldnt do the previous evening.

For eternity poems have been written about love becoming immortal.

mind is becoming empty.

.

So pull the same life deep within

Therefore one moves into meditation only when one is ready for dying, not otherwise.

.

For example, love gives warmth, hatred brings coldness.

Now, slowly take a few deep breaths.

Water has to cool in order to become ice, it has to lose its heat, it has to turn cold.

In the dictionary, in the world of language, it has one meaｈｔtｐs://ｒｅａｄ•99ｃｓw•ｃｏmning -- that a person who has not faced defeat is victorious.

Each degree will keep bringing the boiling point closer.

And one who ignores death also ignores life.

.

The two things are totally opposite, although they look similar in meaning.

If this wave tries to relate with other waves, it will get into trouble.

.

What seems to be the matter? The question is that if a wave is attempting to unite with another wave, it wont be able to come close to the ocean.

Have you ever seen your wife, your son, with whom you have lived for so many years? Have you ever seen them? The things your wife did yesterday flash through your mind -- and a thought comes in between you and her.

.

It is just like when we heat water.

Remember, the wave itself is dying, and the other waves nearby are dying too.

One who is miserable, living in pain, will readily believe that death takes everything away -- including the soul -- that death leaves nothing behind.

We shrink with fear of death.

I was never defeated because I never wished for victory.

Actually, thinking is a tactful means of falsifying facts.

And there is an enormous difference between living and thinking.

open the eyes slowly

let go

the thoughts are going on calming down

more inside

The moment you know death, you come to realize that it is not.

No matter where you escape, no matter which direction you take, eventually you are going to end up there.

Lamps would be lit and prayers would be chanted.

Then you will know the flower from its interiority.

In fact, the truth is that beliefs change with headaches.

Kamal went as he was told.

As long as there is something in between to bind the two, the disrupter is also present.

let go completely

.

How can this be possible? With the one I keep, the other side will automatically be saved.

I was never asked to move from a place because I always stood at the end, where no one could push me further back.

the body is relaxing.

In fact, only those who have attained to love can speak such strong words; people weak in love cannot utter them.

Where I stood, no one ever came to throw me out.

Kabir grew even more worried.

.

Inside

The funny thing is that the other wants to become immortal by uniting with you, and you want to become immortal by uniting with the other.

Take fifty men and infect them with chronic diseases, and keep the other fifty in good health.

.

The whole body becomes useless and the need arises to acquire a new body.

One who does not die in a right manner will not live rightly.

Now, for ten minutes just remain awake within, remain conscious within.

If I ask you to think about this roseflower, what will you think? You will simply reiterate what you already know about a rose.

slowly take a few deep breaths

Meditation means death.

become a void

Hearing this, the disciples became very excited.

A relationship does not mean we are joined with somebody, a relationship means that now nothing exists between you and the other person, there is no one in between -- not even to join you.

Remember, a relationship does not mean there is a third factor binding the two.

.

of seeing.

Slowly take a deep breath

.

.

Then the wave becomes the ocean; its fear of extinction disappears.

So for the sake of the ego, one has to give up love and cling to hatred.

the breathing is calming down

As ice, it parts from the ocean, it separates, it becomes solid.

This wave and the other wave are both dying, and yet they get into a relationship with each other in the hope that by joining with each other they perhaps may save themselves.

inside, look at this void.

.

You will have to fall in love with it; you will have to look into its eyes.

the breathing is calming sown

It is not that happiness is caused by believing in God; a miserable mind inevitably becomes atheistic.

.

There is no other reason except that they have found a different kind of son.

In fact, no one could pick a fight with me.

Remain just a watcher

When you go to bed at night, tired and weary, your body is in one state, and when you wake up in the morning it is in a different state.

Mind has become a void

we have slipped completely inside

There are people who think this way.

Remember, as a wave it is not apart from the ocean, it is one with the ocean.

Thinking is never original -- although we ordinarily say that such-and-such a persons thoughts are highly original.

There is a joy in getting up in the morning, but isnt it equally joyful to sleep at night? If a few madmen were to start convincing people not to sleep at night, then getting up in the morning would also stop, because the man who wouldnt sleep wouldnt be able to wake up in the morning either.

settle in the seeing.

The East has experienced that there are certain facts which can never be known by thinking about them.

There are laws under which water turns into ice, and there are also laws which cause the formation of the ego.

The very first step he takes will be as much to reach Calcutta as his last step.

A person who is miserable, troubled, sick and in pain feels he should meet a total death, that nothing should be left behind -- because if any part of him does survive, then it would obviously mean he would survive

If people were to go on becoming happier in Russia, then in the next fifty years theism would revive there and the bells would begin to ring in Russian temples.

He is afraid, he is frightened; thats why he is unable to see death at all, nor is he able to love it.

And when the ego disappears only life remains.

He will go on freezing, because that fear that he may die, that he may disappear, will make him contract -- and his ego will remain, growing harder, stronger.

The day one realizes this, not only does the sting of death depart, the thought of not dying disappears as well.

A seer penetrates inside an object, while a thinker hovers around it on the outside -- and therefore a thinker has no achievement of his own; only a seer enjoys achievement.

So when I say "Know death," recognize the facts -- I am not asking you to think.

But still, in that sort of survival the wave is no more and the ice remains -- ice which is a wave, closed, broken away from the ocean.

A FRIEND HAS ASKED: WHY SHOULD WE THINK OF DEATH AT ALL? WE HAVE LIFE, LET US LIVE IT.

.

It still exists.

And then, once again, the "I" says, "Relate with the all" -- such is the tortuous way of the "I".

A complex is created inside the person.

And as soon as a man looks into deaths eyes, begins to watch it, penetrate into it, he feels astounded.

Beauty was always around -- the flowers bloomed and withered away.

" This is being very harsh.

The body goes on relaxing

And Jesus says, "If someone asks you to carry his load for a mile, at the end of the mile ask him if he would like you to carry it further.

What we call the birthday is actually the first day of death.

.

Deep down, a violent man is an escapist from death.

slowly, slowly, everything will turn into a void.

That which is ascending on one side is declining on the other.

All our thoughts either foster our convenience or remove our inconvenience.

In that acceptance the wave becomes the ocean.

But all these efforts to unite are invitations to death -- because the one with whom you are forming a union is as much surrounded by death, as much surrounded by the ego

Get out of here! You will never understand what I am saying.

This needs to be understood a little.

mind is becoming empty

How amazing it is that a fluid like water can become hard like ice and rock.

A seer penetrates within because there remains no wall between him and the object before him -- the wall crumbles, disappears.

All mans efforts and plans towards falsifying death seem to be succeeding, but they never are successful -- because death is there.

The thoughts are relaxing

.

No matter what a man may have set out to know, he has only known it through love.

The thoughts are going on calming down

One who turned away from the very first step, how will he ever reach the deep waters of the well?

We dive within ourselves at night and come out refreshed in the morning.

He knows it, he sees it, and he accepts it.

For all the rest, as if death has happened

Kamal answered, "I am sorry, but when I came here, instead of cutting the grass I began to look at it.

In Russia people read Marx, while in India you read Mahavira -- this makes no difference.

There was no place beyond that.

Disappear completely from outside

I say to you, therefore, that in the next fifty years there is a great possibility that Russia will become theistic and India will become even more atheistic.

An unhappy mind wants to express its anger.

Because of this fear we have created a life, a society, a family which lives the least but fears death the most.

Then he accepts everything.

It is not a question of convenience.

Those who want to lie down, do so beforehand.

It does not mean that we are attempting to integrate the fragments; it means we have stopped breaking ourselves away from the whole.

The reason all of us, who are going to die, are so eager to love is that love is the obvious means to connect.

The flowers bloom and the birds begin to sing.

the consciousness has remained lit like a flame.

We try our best to falsify death; we have invented a thousand ways to falsify it.

.

It says, "I have to survive.

I was a guest at a friends house for a few days.

There is no way that one who knows that such is the case can ever deny it.

Close your eyes

For ten minutes only go on looking within, do not do anything else, only go on looking.

People began to make way for her.

Please show us the technique.

Hence it creates an organization, it creates a chain.

The breathing is calming down

But the ego of this man we are talking about is already broken.

.

And when the person finds no cause for being unhappy, then who should he be angry at? He obviously becomes filled with bitterness towards the unknown.

Death will not happen in the future -- death is already happening every moment.

LET US LIVE IN THE PRESENT.

And sit at a little distance from each other so that no one falls over you if someone lies down, or falls over.

But the moment a wave strives to save itself from the ocean, difficulties arise -- it cuts itself off from the ocean and its death begins.

.

.

Kabir said, "But what have you been doing for so long? Its so late!"

Then open the eyes slowly

Its good you came, because I didnt know what 九*九*藏*書was happening.

if it falls it falls.

How can you become immortal? Such a union will double death; it will certainly not turn it into an elixir.

.

We are all filled with desire to freeze, and so we employ many kinds of means to see how we can become frozen, solidified.

And the organization of the ocean is a totally different thing.

.

Mind is becoming empty

Do you know that the body undergoes change overnight and comes out different every morning? The change is so minimal you dont notice it.

When you wake up in the morning you feel happy, because only a part of your body changes in sleep -- but death, on the other hand, brings about a complete change.

.

Why are you running away?" Who would look stupid, the one who sat on the man, or the man who kept laughing and whose laughter resounded throughout your life?

.

You cannot conceive of a wave without the ocean -- the ocean will be present in the wave.

And the fact is that both of you are going to die.

One who lives properly will die properly.

If you remain courteous and loving to your wife, the expenditures shoot up.

am knowing

I simply said no one could defeat me, while you are talking about becoming victorious.

He came to himself, realized what had happened, and immediately apologized.

But if a man has already effaced himself, what fun can there be in destroying such a person? Our ego wouldnt get any kick out of it.

the breathing is calming down.

.

" And there is nothing wrong in it, because all along you have been treating women as your property anyway.

Let the roseflower be on one side and you be on the other, and let there be no one between you -- nothing youve ever heard, nothing youve ever read, nothing youve ever known.

Of course, it will shake you up while dying; but even before that, if this idea takes hold of your mind, it will shake you to your very roots.

There is one more interesting thing that needs to be understood.

If I throw away one, both will be thrown away; if I save one, both will be saved.

The fear of death is responsible for creating the ugliness and the distortion.

And there is another kind of love where we have stopped our attempts to break away from the whole.

after few minutes, Osho starts giving suggestions again.

Life and death are both aspects of the same phenomenon.

How were you never defeated?"

.

Who is my mother?" So Mary stood there in shock.

.

Question 2

I was very happy to be at the end; it saved me from all sorts of trouble.

This is love.

Once Kabir asked his son Kamal to go to the forest and bring some hay for their cattle.

In that case, it will not even remain a seed, let alone grow into a tree.

And what is future? It is the sum total of all of our presents.

I dont want to disappear.

.

.

Look intently in that void

Only then, the unknown seated within the rose will begin to enter your being.

Hence, prayer is absolute love.

The more we succeed in breaking the others ego, the stronger ours becomes.

In a way, sleeping is like dying every day.

But since we continue to remain egos, a great difficulty is created.

.

let go

Let go

By the time we are seventy or eighty, the body is worn out.

The more he succeeds in killing others, the more alive he will feel.

So one who wants to create an ego has to become cold, and in order to become cold he has to lose all those things which give warmth.

.

Remember, never believe that what seems pleasing to you is necessarily true, because what feels pleasing does not depend on what is true, it depends on what you think of as convenient.

as if a wave may disappear and become the ocean.

the body is relaxing

.

In its loneliness a wave is left totally by itself -- slipping away, falling away, vanishing, close to disappearing, feeling alienated on both sides -- the ocean on one, the rest of the waves on the other.

Somebody goes and digs ditches

But the truth is, it is already disappearing.

We have slipped withinwards

So the fact of death has to be seen, not thought about.

What does this mean? This means that by accepting the facts of life totally concerning insecurity, failure, defeat, and finally death, we conquer them all.

" When Jesus heard him, he said in a loud voice, "If you are giving way to Jesus mother, then dont do it, because Jesus doesnt have a mother.

Finding no hindrance in between, it will enter, and then you wont feel you want to know the rose, you will feel you are one with the rose.

Mind is becoming empty

" A welcome is always warm; a cold welcome has no meaning.

The feeling of I is the feeling of a man afraid of death.

.

The man who doesnt have a beautiful woman can very well say that women should also be socialized.

When I say "triumph over death," I mean that as soon as a person accepts death he laughs, because he comes to know there is no death.

.

Death is the biggest defeat of all; thats why we want to kill our enemy -- there is no other reason.

Thinking will lead you nowhere.

Be seated with a little distance from each other.

go on looking inside

What else can it be? And both are melting, sinking, fading away; thats why they are frightened, worried.

It was morning when he left, but when the sun was overhead and Kamal had not yet returned, Kabir became worried.

" If a seed wishes to save itself, it will rot -- what else? And if a seed annihilates itself in the earth, disappears, it will become a tree.

A sunset is as much a reality as the sunrise -- the difference is only of direction.

the body is relaxing

for ten minutes just remain looking.

It is dangerous to fall in love with a stranger; he may sneak off at night with all your valuables! So first we make absolutely certain who the man is, what he does, where his parents are from, how his character is, what his qualities are.

And if the initial step cant bring him to Calcutta, the last step cannot either.

Now just give him a car, a big bungalow and a beautiful girl to marry, and in fifteen days you will see a totally different man.

One who is afraid of death and wants to save himself, readily accepts the belief in the immortality of the soul.

If it contracts, becomes solid, then it can survive.

A man who was an atheist in his youth becomes a theist in his old age.

Hence, the reason for all the violence in the world is totally different from what people ordinarily take it to be.

You are only knowing

The breathing is going on calming down

" Why? -- because it is possible the man may feel embarrassed taking the shirt away from you.

We are in big trouble.

He said his mother was too afraid to fall asleep.

mind has become empty

do not keep even the least grip.

In fact, there is virtually no difference between what we call living, and dying.

" These are danger signals.

Only a happy mind wishes to thank somebody, and who else should one thank? -- because a man can find no reasons for the presence of inner happiness, so he thanks the unknown; it must be because of it.

Has it ever occurred to you that the hundredth degree is also a degree, just as the first degree is also a degree? The journey from the ninety-ninth degree to the hundredth degree is the same as from the first to the second degree; there is no difference.

He shuts his eyes; he never lets death appear before him, face-to-face.

If he makes you lose one round, lose two instead.

Thinking means to repeat, in the mind, what we already know.

When the head has no pain we follow one set of beliefs; with a headache these beliefs are replaced by another set.

.

And with that, this body goes through a complete change.

There are a few more questions which we will be able to discuss during the night session.

.

let that spring burst forth

Addressing the crowd, Jesus said, "As long as you have a mother, a father, a brother, you wont be able to come close to me.

Thoughts can never be original.

.

In it, the wave has contracted; it has become frozen.

.

the thoughts are going on relaxing.

The second thing I would like to say to you is: dont think that death is somewhere in the future, death is present every moment.

You may say, "The roseflower is very beautiful," but how many times have you heard this before? How many times have you read this before? Or you may say, "The roseflower is just as beautiful as the face of my beloved.

The man who wants to create ego has to become cold as well; he has to lose his warmth.

The body is lying down, almost dead, away

One can never run away from a fact.

" It has created nations; it has created Hindu-Mohammedan sects -- waves creating their own organizations.

It is like a restless wave which crashes against the wind and wrestles with it, and then it falls back into the ocean and disappears.

She fears she wont wake up once she goes to sleep, so she keeps trying to stay up the whole night.

Why should some men have a monopoly over beautiful women? Women should belong to all.

With acceptance comes transformation.

That is called prayer.

How can two people who are going to die desire immortality together? A union of two such people only makes death twice as real and nothing else.

But his very asking, "Why bring in the idea of death?" or "Lets just live and not even think of death" shows in itself that even he cannot escape thinking about death.

And one who wants to save himself from death can never be nonviolent.

The day nothing exists to bind, when only two remain, when nothing remains in between, that day what actually remains is only one; then there are not two.

.

The whole of life would come to a halt.

goes on dying.

And that which shone with the rising and setting of the sun was forever present, before sunrise and after sunset.

become a void completely.

It is not that death is something which will happen in the future, so why think about it now? This too is a misapprehension.

Thats why the I insists, "Break away from the all.

Only after we have scrutinized the person and become totally reassured do we ever fall in love.

One man is a communist.

It is hard to say how much the scriptures affect your belief system and how much your liver does! One cant be sure whether gurus or the liver affect it more! What goes on inside the body has a greater effect.

What can I say about love?" One who has thought about love will explain it for hours, but he may not even know one iota of love.

To be a wave means to face extinction -- prolonging makes no difference.

.

" Hence I say to you: enter into death willingly so that you may reach life.

Now we will sit for the morning meditation.

Jesus also says, "Blessed are those who are ready to stand in the last row.
