Bhagwan's body is very weak and vulnerable to any infection, so anyone who is coughing or likely to cough is discouraged to come and those who have come but in the urge to cough, were encouraged to repress the coughing.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki would not have happened if man were not thought to be just matter. So many nuclear weapons would not have been piled up if man had been thought to be a hidden God, a hidden splendor; not to be destroyed but to be discovered, not to be destroyed but to be brought into the light – a temple of God.

Therefore, I say that fear itself is violence, and fearlessness is non-violence. To be free from violence, one has to be free from fear; to be free from fear, one has to be free from death; to be free from death, one has to know oneself.

..because in Woodlands, where I used to live, the door to my room and the door to my closet were exactly the same. For anybody who entered for the first time, it was natural – the chances were fifty-fifty, so almost fifty percent of the people used to go into the closet – and I enjoyed it very much! I used to have an electric remote control lock by my side for both doors. Once a person entered my closet, I would lock it.

... and can open your eyes about your own being as part of eternity.

People think that only sicknesses can be contagious; that is a half truth. Why can’t wholeness, well-being, blissfulness, ecstasy, be contagious? You just have to be open, available, fearless. Then truth can enter you and can wake up your own truth, which is fast asleep. Then light can enter you and enkindle your own flame. Then something of the eternal can touch you and destroy your fear of death, ...

And possession is killing. The moment you possess the lover you have killed. Then you suffer. Then you weep and cry and then you think that the lover is wrong, the fate is wrong, ”The destiny is not in my favor.” But you don’t know you have poisoned love through possession, through possessiveness.

You start flowering. Even one person welcoming you, waiting for you, loving you, caring for you, you start flowering. Just in the beginning, and then immediately your wrong patterns start working-you immediately want to possess the beloved, the loved one.

It is impossible to explain love, trust, beauty, grace, gratitude, silence. All that is meaningful seems to be beyond mind, and all that is meaningless seems to be the boundary of the mind.

If their expectations are not fulfilled they are miserable, and the miserable create misery for you, they cannot do otherwise. You can only give that which you have, and they have only misery.

So I say do not consider, let the world go on its way, you move on your own.

Gurdjieff used to say, "Do not consider others...." It is absolutely right. The moment you consider others you are no more yourself. But to live in freedom is difficult too because you have to live with people who are full of expectations, and they are very touchy!

The first: freedom.
The second: uniqueness of individuality.
The third: love.
The fourth: meditation.
The fifth: non-seriousness.
The sixth: playfulness.
The seventh: creativity.
The eighth: sensitivity.
The ninth: gratefulness.
Tenth: a feeling of the mysterious.
These ten non-commandments constitute my basic attitude towards reality, towards man's freedom from all kinds of spiritual slavery.

"To be what you don't want to be, to be with someone you don't want to be with, to do something you don't want to do is the basis of all your miseries."

The zorba loves singing, playing on his musical instruments, dancing.
Buddha will make it perfect, absolute. Even silence will become a song, even stones will become sermons, and whatever you touch will become a musical instrument because your hands will now have the magic of the whole existence; they will have the grace, the beauty, the poetry...

”I am not making anybody head of my religion because I don’t want any books to be followed. I don’t want people exploiting others in my name. I am not going to be succeeded by anybody. The day I am dead, I am dead. There is no question of my successor.”

And slowly slowly, as the watcher becomes more and more solid, stable, unwavering, a transformation happens. The things that you were watching disappear.
For the first time, the watcher itself becomes the watched, the observer itself becomes the observed.
You have come home.

The emphasis is on watching, watchfulness. All those points are just excuses. You can watch the breath at the tip of the nose where the breath goes in, you can watch it while it is going in, you can watch it when it returns -- you can watch it anywhere. You can watch thoughts moving inside. The whole point is not to get lost in what you are watching, as if
that is important. That is not important....

Just remember one thing -- your love. Then wherever you are, space and the distance in space does not matter. And at a certain depth, even time does not matter.
And when time and space both are immaterial, then you have really touched the feet of the master.
Then whatsoever transpires in you -- to live for the message or to die, whatever comes naturally and spontaneously -- let it happen.

I HEAR HIM SAYING:

”I HAVE FULFILLED MY PROMISE. I WAS TO COME AS MAITREYA AFTER TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS, AND I HAVE COME. IF YOU HAVE EYES, YOU WILL SEE ME; IF YOU HAVE EARS YOU WILL HEAR ME; IF YOU HAVE A HEART YOU WILL FEEL AND RECOGNIZE ME. MY THIRD BODY I HAD KEPT IN EXISTENCE TO REBIRTH, TO HELP WHOEVER WANTED MY HELP.

The second comes from a more mature, from a more conscious, more alert Kabir. But whatever way you see it – the dewdrop disappearing into the ocean or the ocean disappearing into the dewdrop – it means exactly the same.

You are just a dewdrop.

And as you meditate, the dewdrop starts slipping from the petals of the lotus towards the ocean.

When the meditation is complete, the dewdrop has disappeared into the ocean.

Or you can say, the ocean has disappeared into the dewdrop – it is the same.

Sheer beauty is how the author finishes his narration! It goes like this:

Such change in the composition of the non-stupid population inevitably strengthens the destructive power of the Œ fraction and makes decline a cer­tainty. And the country goes to Hell.

"The Fifth Basic Law states that
«A stupid person is the most dangerous
type of person».
The corollary of the Law is that
«A stupid person is more dangerous
than a bandit»."

"This is clearly summarized in the Fourth Basic Law which states that:
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid
individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all
times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake."

"As the Third Basic Law explicitly clarifies:
"A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a
group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring
losses.""

I really like the way this book is written. For example, there is this title:

Chapter IV
The Third ( and Golden) Basic Law

"I firmly believe that stupidity is an indiscriminate privilege of all human groups and is uniformly distributed according to a constant proportion. This fact is scientifically expressed by the Second Basic Law which states that:
"The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other
characteristic of that person.""

The first basic law of human stupidity asserts without ambiguity that:
"Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid
individuals in circulation."

"But let me repeat: There is not a single question which is not yours too."

"Only the future will show it, that it was good. According to me, anything
that happens ultimately turns out in favor of the good."
