Night & Day ,Love & Hate

There is no problem anywhere with the night or with the day. 

Existence is as happy in the day as in the night. In fact the whole night, existence prepares for the day... rests in. the womb of darkness...gets ready again. The whole day vibrates with a thousand and one things, gets excited, moves to the climax, then gets tired, exhausted, spent, and moves into the night again.

Hate is also a love relationship. 

Behind each hate, love is hiding, and behind each love, hate is

hiding. In fact love and hate are not two things.

 They are not love and hate... the whole energy is

love/hate.

 That’s why any love relationship can change into a hate relationship very easily – in a

single moment. Just a single moment before you were in love, and now you hate.

 And vice versa is 

also possible.

Be a Mind beyond judgement

HOW CAN A TROUBLED MIND
UNDERSTAND THE WAY?
IF A MAN IS DISTURBED
HE WILL NEVER BE FILLED WITH KNOWLEDGE.

AN UNTROUBLED MIND,
NO LONGER SEEKING TO CONSIDER
WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG,
A MIND BEYOND JUDGMENTS,
WATCHES AND UNDERSTANDS.

Love deeply

Love, but be very careful; you are moving on sacred ground. You are going into the highest, the purest and holiest temple. Be alert! 

Drop all impurities outside the temple. When you love a person,
love the person as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man, because if you love a man as a man your love is going to be very, very ordinary. Your love is not going to be more than lust. If you love a woman as a woman, your love is not going to soar very high. Love a woman as a goddess, then love becomes worship.

Your Life-Observe & Experience

Sometimes, sitting on a silent night, looking at the stars – and something was going to happen and you shrank; apprehensive, frightened, you started doing something else. It was too good to be true. You missed an opportunity. Sometimes, in deep love, just sitting by the side of your beloved,something started happening; you were moving in some unknown direction. You became scared,

you pulled yourself back to earth.

Sometimes, for no reason at all, just swimming in the river, or running around in the hot sun, or just relaxing on the beach and listening to the wild roar of the ocean, something started happening inside you, some inner alchemical change, as if your body was creating LSD. Something inside...and you were moving in a totally unknown dimension – as if you had wings and you could fly. You became afraid, you started clinging to the earth.

It looks a little absurd and paradoxical. When there is no need to make love, then he is allowed to make love. When the woman has become a goddess, then he is allowed to make love – because

now love can soar high, love can become a climax, a crescendo. Now it will not be of the earth, it will not be of this world; it will not be of two bodies, it will be of two beings. It will be a meeting of two existences. Two souls will meet, merge and mingle, and both will come out of it tremendously alone in the good sense.

Remain a master

Start being the master of your own self. Give rest to the body, but don’t become a slave. 

Listen to the body’s needs, but remain capable, remain in control, remain a master. Otherwise the body has a lethargy in it, and the mind has a repetitive, mechanical quality in it. Then it can become just an everyday habit. You come to listen to me, you sit, and the body and mind start moving towards sleep. Break it! Come out of it.

Think in color – don’t think in black and white.

Black and white thinking makes humanity schizophrenic.

You say: This is my friend and that is my enemy. But the enemy can become a friend tomorrow, and the friend can become an enemy tomorrow. So the difference can be, at the most, relative; it cannot be absolute.

Think in color – don’t think in black and white.

Visualization is the language of children, of all primitive people, and of the unconscious. Your

unconscious also thinks in pictures.

What is God?

All the religions believe that God created the world and also mankind. But if you are created by
someone, you are only a puppet, you don’t have your own soul. And if you are created by somebody,
he can uncreate you any moment. He neither asked you whether you wanted to be created, nor is
he going to ask you, ”Do you want to be uncreated?”

God is the greatest dictator, if you accept the fiction that he created the world and also created
mankind. If God is a reality, then man is a slave, a puppet. All the strings are in his hands, even your
life. Then there is no question of any enlightenment. Then there is no question of there being any
Gautam the Buddha, because there is no freedom at all. He pulls the strings, you dance; he pulls
the strings, you cry; he pulls the strings, you start murders, suicide, war. You are just a puppet and
he is the puppeteer.

No theologian, no founder of religions thought about this, that if you accept God as the creator,
you are destroying the whole dignity of consciousness, of freedom, of love. You are taking all
responsibility from man, and you are taking all his freedom away. You are reducing the whole of
existence to just the whim of a strange fellow called God.

Man is free, but free for what? If there is no God and man is free, that will simply mean man is now
capable of doing anything, good or bad; there is nobody to judge him, nobody to forgive him. This
freedom will be simply licentiousness.
There comes the other side. You remove God and you leave man utterly empty. Of course,
you declare his freedom, but to what purpose? How is he going to use his freedom creatively,
responsibly? How is he going to avoid freedom being reduced to licentiousness?

God was non-existential, but it was a good consolation. It used to fill people’s interior, although it
was a lie. But even a lie, repeated thousands and thousands of times for millennia, becomes almost
a truth. God has been a great consolation to people in their fear, in their dread, in their awareness of
old age and death, and beyond – the unknown darkness. God has been a tremendous consolation,
although it was a lie. Lies can console you, you have to understand it. In fact lies are sweeter than
the truth.
Gautam Buddha is reported to have said, ”Truth is bitter in the beginning, sweet in the end, and lies
are sweet in the beginning, bitter in the end” – when they are exposed. Then comes a tremendous
bitterness, that you have been deceived by all your parents, by all your teachers, by all your priests,
by all your so-called leaders. You have been continuously deceived. That frustration brings up a
great distrust in everybody. ”Nobody is worthy of trust...” It creates a vacuum.
