> PREFACE
I too am a farmer and I sowed some seeds. They sprouted and now flowers have
come to them. My whole life is filled with the fragrance of these flowers and
because of this fragrance now I am in a different world. This fragrance has
given me a new birth, and now I am no longer that which is seen by ordinary
eyes.
The unseen and the unknown have flung open their closed doors, and I am seeing
a world which is not seen through the eyes, and I am hearing music which ears
are not capable of hearing. Whatsoever I have found and known is eager to flow
just as the mountain waterfalls and springs flow and rush towards the ocean.
Remember, when the clouds are full of water they have to shower. And when the
flowers are filled with fragrance they have to give off their fragrance freely
to the winds. And when a lamp is lit, the light is bound to radiate from it.
Something like this has happened and the winds are carrying away some seeds of
revolution from me. I have no idea in what fields they will land and who will
tend them. I only know that it is from seeds like these that I have attained the
flowers of life, immortality, and the divine. And in whatever field they land,
the very soil there will turn into the flowers of immortality.
In death is hidden the immortal and in death is life -- just as flowers are
inherent in the soil. But the potential of the soil can never become realized in
the absence of seeds. The seeds make manifest that which was unmanifest and give
expression to that which was latent.
Whatever I have, whatever I am, I want to give away as seeds of divine
consciousness. What is attained in knowledge -- knowing -- love gives away in
abundance. In knowing one knows God; in love one BECOMES God. Knowledge is the
spiritual discipline, love is the fulfillment.

I had been to a village. I heard someone saying there: "Religion lies in
renunciation, and renunciation is a hard and demanding discipline."
As I heard this, I recollected an incident from my early childhood. I had
accompanied a picnic party to the bank of a river. The river was small but with
a vast expanse of sand. On the sandy bank there lay many pebbles in luminous
colors. I felt I had stumbled on a treasure. By the evening I had collected so
many pebbles that it was not possible to bring them home with me. Tears came
into my eyes when I had to leave them behind as I left, and I was surprised to
see my companions' lack of interest in those pebbles.
That day they seemed to me to be great renouncers. When I think of it today, I
see that there is no question of renunciation once you have known the stones as
stones.
Ignorance is indulgence.
Knowing is renunciation.
Renunciation is not a doing; it is not something to be done, it just happens.
It is a natural result of knowing. Indulgence is mechanical: that too is not a
doing -- it is a natural result of ignorance.
Hence, the idea that renunciation is a hard and arduous task is meaningless. In
the first place it is not an act -- activities alone can be difficult and
strenuous -- it is an outcome. Secondly, in renunciation what apparently drops
is worthless, and what is attained is priceless.
In fact, renunciation as such does not exist, because we gain immensely more
than we drop. The reality is that we drop only our bondage, but we gain
liberation; we drop only shells but we receive diamonds; we forsake only death
but attain immortality; we leave only darkness but attain the light -- eternal
and infinite.
Where then is the renunciation? Dropping nothing and receiving everything
cannot be called renunciation.
2
LAST NIGHT a man breathed his last. Today people mourn at his door.
At such moments a memory of an event in my childhood arises in my mind. It was
my first visit to the burning ghats. The funeral pyre had been lit, and the
people were chatting in small groups. The village poet said, "I am not afraid of
death. Death is a friend."
Since then I have heard this same assertion in different forms from different
people. I have also looked into the eyes of those who say this and have found
that these fearless words arise from fear.
Nothing changes just by giving death beautiful names. In fact, the fear is not
of death, the fear is of the unfamiliar. What is unknown creates fear in us. It
is necessary to become acquainted with death. This acquaintance brings one to
fearlessness. Why? -- because it is through acquaintance that one comes to know
that there is no death to what is.
It is only the personality, which we have taken to be our "I", that shatters,
that dies. It shatters because it is not. It is only a combination, a union of a
few elements. As this union disintegrates, the personality shatters. This is
what death is. Hence, as long as personality is taken to be one and the same as
the true self, there is death.
Move deeper from the personality, and as you arrive at the true self, the
deathless is attained.
The path of this journey, the penetration from the surface of personality to
the core of the self, is religion.
It is in samadhi, enlightenment, that acquaintance with death happens. Just as
darkness ceases to exist the moment the sun rises, so does death when samadhi is
attained.
Death is neither an enemy nor a friend, it simply does not exist. One needs
neither to fear it nor not fear it. One has only to know it. Ignorance of it is
fear, knowing it is fearlessness.

ONE DAY I went to a temple. The crowd of worshippers was engaged in worshipping
the deity. The devotees were bowing down before the idols. An elderly man who
had come with me said, "Nowadays people do not have faith in religion. So very
few people visit the temples."
I said, "Where is the religion in a temple? What a self- deceiver man is! He
deceives himself by taking as gods the idols created by his own hands. He
satisfies himself by taking the scriptures -- the product of his own mind -- as
truth."
Whatsoever is the creation of man's own hands and mind is not religion. The
idols sitting in the temples are not images of gods but of man himself. And what
is written in the scriptures is but a reflection of man's own desires and
thinking, not the truth seen within. It is not possible to express the truth in
words.
It is not possible to have an idol of truth, because truth is boundless,
infinite and formless. It has no form, no name, no attribute. The moment it is
given a form it disappears.
In order to attain it, all idols and all physical conceptions have to be
dropped; the whole cobweb of self-fabricated fallacies has to be swept away.
That uncreated truth reveals itself only when man's consciousness is liberated
from the prison which his own mind has created .
In fact, rather than building temples in order to reach the truth, we should
demolish them; instead of sculpting idols, we should destroy them. We should
drop our obsession with the form so that the formless may enter. The moment the
manifest leaves our minds, the unmanifest appears.
It was there already, but it was hidden beneath the idols and the tangible.
Just as we cannot see the empty space in a room stuffed with things -- remove
those things and the empty space is revealed; it has always been there.
Truth too is like this. Empty the mind and it is there.

I HEARD a discourse this morning. It happened unintentionally. A so-called
saint was speaking and I was passing that way when I heard him say, "The way to
be religious is to be God-fearing. Only one who fears God is religious. It is
fear that brings one to love God. There is no loving without fear. Love is
impossible in the absence of fear."
Usually, those who are called religious are religious because of fear. Those
who are called moral are also bound to fear.
Kant has said, "Even if there is no God, still it is necessary to accept him."
Perhaps that is because the fear of God makes people good.
When I hear such statements, I cannot help laughing. Perhaps nothing else is so
mistaken and untrue.
Religion has nothing to do with fear. Religion is born out of fearlessness.
It is impossible for love to co-exist with fear. How can fear give birth to
love? Out of fear, only the pretense of love can be born. And what else but
non-love can exist behind a counterfeit love? Love born out of fear is an
impossibility.
Hence, religiousness and morality based on fear are false, not true. They weigh
down, rather than elevate, the energy of the soul. Religion and love cannot be
imposed on oneself, they have to be kindled and aroused within.
Truth is not founded on fear. Fear does not support the truth, it is opposed to
it. The foundation-stone of truth is fearlessness.
The true flowers of religion and love can be grown only in the soil of
fearlessness. Those planted in the soil of fear can only be artificial.
The realization of God happens only in fearlessness. Or to put it more
correctly, the realization of fearless consciousness is the realization of God.
The moment all fear disappears from the mind, what happens in that moment is the
encounter with truth.

THE HEAT of noon is at its peak. The flowers on the palasa tree are glowing
like embers.
I walk along a deserted path. Thick bamboo groves line the path and I find
their shade very pleasant.
A familiar bird sings a song and accepting its invitation I stop there.
A man who is with me asks,"How to conquer anger? How to conquer sex?"
This is a question so frequently asked nowadays. The mistake lies in asking the
question -- and I said so to him.
The problem is not to conquer, it is to know. We know neither anger nor sex.
This ignorance is what defeats us.
Knowing brings victory. When there is anger, when there is sex, we are not.
There is no awareness, hence we are not. What happens in this state of
unconsciousness is completely mechanical. When the unconsciousness releases its
grip, remorse follows -- but that is futile. Because the one who now repents
will fall asleep again as soon as sex catches hold of him. If he does not sink
into sleep -- if he lets consciousness, wakefulness and right remembrance
prevail -- he will find that there is neither anger nor sex. The mechanicalness
is broken and there is nothing to be conquered -- the enemy has gone.
You may understand this better through a symbolic story. In the darkness, a
rope is taken for a snake. Seeing it, some run away, some get ready to kill it.
Both are mistaken because they both take the rope for a snake. Somebody goes
near it and finds that there is no snake at all. He does not need to do anything
more than approach it.
Man has only to approach himself. Whatever is within him, he must be familiar
with it all. He does not have to fight with anything. And I say unto you that
victory comes to him without a fight.
Right watchfulness towards one's own mind is the key to victory over life.

THE NIGHT is past and the rays of the morning sun are spreading all over the
fields. We have just crossed a small stream. Hearing the sound of the train, a
flock of white herons flies from the white lilies towards the sun.
Then something happens and the train stops. Halting in this lonely place feels
good to me. My unknown fellow passengers are also awake. They boarded at some
wayside station in the night. Perhaps taking me for a sannyasin, they come as
though to touch my feet. An eagerness to ask something is in their eyes.
Finally one of them speaks: "If it does not inconvenience you, I wish to ask a
question. I am interested in God and I have tried hard to reach him, but all to
no avail. Does this mean that God does not favor me?"
I say, "Yesterday I went to a garden. Some friends were with me. One of them
was thirsty. He lowered a bucket into the well. The well was very deep. It took
some effort to pull the bucket up. But when it appeared at the top of the well
it was empty. All the others laughed.
"It seemed to me that the bucket was like the mind of a man. It had many cracks
and holes. Of course, at first it was filled with water, but every drop ran out
through the holes. Our mind too is full of holes. Offer the leaking mind to the
existence as persistently as you wish, it will return to you empty. If you
repair the bucket beforehand, my friends, it becomes easy to fill it with water.
Of course, the leaking bucket may cause you to undertake many exercises in
asceticism, but it will not quench your thirst.
Remember that the existence is neither sympathetic nor unsympathetic. It is
your responsibility to keep your bucket intact. The well is always ready to
offer you water. It will never deny you."

ONE DAY I was standing on the bank of a river. I saw a paper boat sink in the
water.
The day before, some children had built castles of wet sand. They too had
tumbled down.
Every day, boats sink and castles tumble.
A woman came to me. Her dreams had not been fulfilled. She had lost all
interest in life. She had been thinking of committing suicide. Everything seemed
futile to her. Her eyes were deeply sunk in their sockets.
I said, "Who ever has his dreams fulfilled? All dreams ultimately bring misery
because, even if the paper boats sail, how far can they go? The dreams are not
in error: dreams are naturally unrealizable. It is we who are at fault:
dreaming, we are asleep. Sleeping, we can achieve nothing. On waking, we see
that what we thought we had attained, we have not attained.
"Instead of seeing dreams, see the truth. See what is. This brings liberation.
This boat alone is real. This boat alone will carry you to the ultimate
fulfillment of your life.
"In dreams is death, in truth is life; dreams mean sleep, and truth means
wakefulness. Wake up and realize your self. As long as the mind is dreaming,
that which sees the dreams cannot itself be seen. Only the seer is Truth. Only
the seer is. As soon as we realize this, we can laugh at the sunken boats and
fallen castles."

There is a Sufi song:
A lover knocked at the door of his beloved. A voice cried, "Who is there?" The
person outside said, "It is I." He heard in reply, "This house has no place for
two, 'I' and 'Thou'."
The closed door remained closed. The lover retreated into a forest. There he
made penance, observed fasts, and offered prayers. After many years, he returned
and again knocked on the closed door. Again the voice asked, "Who is there?"
This time the doors were thrown open, for his reply was, "It is thou."
This reply, "It is thou", is the essence of all religion. On the endlessly
flowing river of life, "I" is the only bubble. "I" alienates the individual from
existence. The bubble of "I" thinks itself distinct from the river, whereas in
reality the bubble has no separate existence. It has no separate center, no
separate life. It is the ocean. The ocean is its life. Its very existence is in
and through the ocean. Even the idea of its being separate from the ocean is
ignorance. Look into the bubble, and you find the ocean. Look into t he 'I', and
you find brahman.
Where 'I' does not exist, 'Thou' too is absent. There is only 'being'. Only
existence, pure is-ness is there. To awaken into this pure existence is nirvana.

The only light came from an earthenware lamp. But now it too has been blown
out. A gust of wind came and extinguished the flame. How far can we rely on
lamps? When they are so easily blown out, how long can even a great many flames
last? We are drowned in an ocean of darkness.
A young man is sitting with me. He is very much afraid of the darkness. He says
his very being is shaken by it, so much so that he can hardly breathe.
I tell him, "Darkness, and darkness alone, envelops this world. And the world
has no light to dispel the darkness. Whatever flames there are in the world are
fading out. They flicker, but the darkness remains unaffected. The darkness of
the world is eternal, and those who rely on these flames are unintelligent, for
the flames are not real. Ultimately, they are all overpowered by the darkness.
"But there is another world -- a world different from this visible world. If
this world is darkness, the other is light. If in this world light is transient
and temporary and darkness permanent, in the other one darkness is transient and
temporary and light permanent.
"The wonderful thing is that the world of darkness is far away from us, and the
world of light is very near.
"Darkness is outside, and light is inside.
"And remember, if you do not awaken to the light within, no other light can
dispel your fear. Drop your reliance on mortal lamps, and seek the immortal
light. This alone can bring you fearlessness, bliss, and the light which no one
can take away from you. This alone is ours and of this we cannot be deprived.
Only that which does not come from outside is ours.
"Of course there is darkness outside your eyes. But when you look within your
eyes, what do you find there?
"If there were darkness there, how could you recognize the darkness? He who
recognizes the darkness cannot himself be darkness.
"Again, if he aspires for light, how can he be darkness? He is light. Hence he
aspires for light. He is light, hence he yearns for light. He is light, hence he
seeks the light. Light alone can thirst for light. Search the place from which
your thirst arises, make that point your goal, and you will find what you thirst
for hidden there."

I am not God-fearing. Fear does not take one to God. It is only a complete
absence of fear which can take you there.
In no sense am I a believer either. Belief is blind. How can blindness take one
to the ultimate truth?
Nor am I a follower of any religion, because religion cannot be divided up and
categorized. It is one and indivisible.
Yesterday when I said this, someone asked me, "Then are you an atheist?"
I am neither an atheist nor a theist. These distinctions are superficial,
merely intellectual. They have absolutely nothing to do with existence.
Existence is not divided into 'is' and 'is not'. These distinctions are of the
mind. Accordingly, both atheism and theism are of the mind. They do not reach
the spiritual. The spiritual transcends both positive and negative. That which
is lies beyond positive and negative.
In other words, there they are one, and there is no dividing line between them.
No concept accepted by the intellect gains access there. In fact, the theist has
to drop his theism and the atheist his atheism. Then possibly they may enter the
world of truth. Both these ideas are the obsessions of intellect. Obsession is
an imposition. We are not asked to decide what truth is, but to recognize it as
the moment one opens oneself.
Remember that we do not have to decide about truth: we have to recognize it. He
who drops all intellectual decisions, logical conceptions, mental obsessions and
assumptions, in that state of mental innocence opens himself to the truth as
flowers open themselves to the light. It is in this opening up that seeing
becomes possible.
Thus, I call that man religious who is neither a theist nor an atheist.
Religiousness is a leap from the notion of many into oneness.
Where there is no thought, but only absence of thought, where there is no
choice, only choicelessness, where there are no words, only wordlessness, there
we enter religion.
