My message is not a doctrine, not a philosophy. My Message is a
certain alchemy, a science of transformation. Just be yourself, utterly yourself. And dont be bothered about what kind of flower you turn out to be. It does not matter whether you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold, What matters is flowering. This is something strange: all religions teach love, and all religions end in hatred. Just to give birth to a child is one thing to be a mother is totally different. Any woman can give birth to a child; thats a very simple phenomenon. But to be a mother needs great art, needs great under-standing. You are creating a human being that is the greatest creation! A painter paints a picture; we call it great art. Picasso we call him a great artist. But what about the mother who created Picasso? A poet writes beautiful poems, but what about the mother who created Shakespeare? The search for paradise is the search for your childhood again. Of course your body will no more be a childs, but your consciousness can be as pure as the consciousness of the child. This is the whole secret of the mystical path: to make you a child again, innocent, unpolluted by any knowledge, not knowing anything, still aware of everything that surrounds you, with a deep wonder and a sense of a mystery that cannot be demystified. We have tried religion and it failed. We have tried politics and it has failed. Now we have to try science. Give it a chance, because in three hundred years it has made more progress than man has made in his whole history of millions of years. To make you spiritually weak they have found a sure method, one hundred percent guaranteed, and that is to teach you not to love yourself because if a man cannot love himself he cannot love anybody else either. And unless we recognize the uniqueness of each individual, there are not going to be any human rights, and there is not going to be a civilized world human, loving, rejoicing
A buddhafield is one of the most mysterious phenomena in
existence. It simply means whenever someone becomes awakened, his consciousness radiates a certain aura around him. Whoever is receptive, available, can be transformed by the radiating energy from an awakened being. Gautam Buddhas emphasis on compassion was a very new phenomenon as far as the mystics of old were concerned. Gautam Buddha makes a historical dividing line from the past; before him meditation was enough, nobody had emphasized compassion together with meditation. And the reason was that meditation brings enlightenment, your blossoming, your ultimate expression of being. What more do you need? As far as the individual is concerned, meditation is enough. Gautam Buddhas greatness consists in introducing compassion even before you start meditating. You should be more loving, more kind, more compassionate. Cosmic chemistry says that the entire cosmos is a body. Nothing in it stands alone, all things are joined together. So no matter how distant a star may be from us, when it changes, our heartbeats also change. And no matter how far away the sun may be, when it becomes very disturbed our blood circulation is also disturbed. Dialogue is taking each others hand, moving together towards the truth, helping each other to find the way. It is togetherness, it is a cooperation, it is a harmonious effort to find the truth. It is not in any way a fight, not at all. It is a friendship, moving together to find the truth, helping each other to find the truth. Become more and more alive, authentic, responsive. Even if there is a possibility to go astray, go astray, because there is no way to grow if you are so afraid of committing errors. Errors are good. Mistakes have to be committed. Never commit the same mistake again, but never be afraid of committing mistakes. People who become so afraid of committing mistakes never grow. They go on sitting in their place, afraid to move. They are not alive. Relationship means something complete, finished, closed. Love is never a relationship; love is relating. It is always a river, flowing, unending. Love knows no full stop; the honeymoon begins but never ends.
Allow fear, dont fight with it. Watch what is happening. Go on
watching. As your watching eye becomes more penetrating and intense the body will be trembling, the mind will be trembling deep within you will be consciousness, which simply is a witness, which only watches. It remains untouched, like a lotus flower in water. Only when you attain to that will you attain to fearlessness. The moment love becomes a relationship, it becomes a bondage, because there are expectations and there are demands and there are frustrations, and an effort from both sides to dominate. It becomes a struggle for power... If the child is allowed and helped to develop his individuality without any hindrance from others, we will have a beautiful world. Then we will have many buddhas, many socrateses and many jesuses. We will have a tremendous variety of geniuses
