Tantra the Logic or Mystics
When Love becomes a duty; then real love will never
happen.
People go on teaching love. How can you love? Because
of this teaching, love has become impossible. The mother goes on saying to the
child,”Love me! I am your mother.” How is the child supposed to love? What is
he supposed to do, in fact? The child cannot believe what to do, how to do it.
And the mother goes on insisting. And the father goes on insisting,”when I come
home, love is expected!” by and by the child become a politician; he start the
politics of love – which is not love at all. He start playing tricks. He become
deceptive. He smiles when the mother comes close and the mother feels “he love
me”
He has to do these things because he depends on them;
his survival depends on them. He is helpless. He becomes a diplomat. He does
not feel any love but he has to pretend. By and by the pretension becomes so
deep-rooted he goes on pretending his whole life. Then he loves a woman because
she is his wife; then she loves a man because he is her husband. One has to
love. Love becomes a duty. Can you think of any more absurd possibility? Love
becomes a duty; one has to do it. It is a commandment; one has to fulfill it.
It is a responsibility.
Language is needed to relate to people with whom
you have no love relationship. non language is needed for people with whom you have
a love relationship. One has to become innocent again like a child, and silent.
Gestures will be there; sometimes you will smile and hold hands, or sometimes
you will just remain silent, looking into each other’s eyes- not doing
anything, just being the presences meet and merge, and something happens which
only you will know—only you to whom it has happened. No one else will become
aware; it happens in such depth.
So feel happy next time , feel thankful that you are
growing enjoy that silence; feel thankful that you are growing. Enjoy that
silence; feel and taste and savor it. Soon you will see that it has its own
communication; that it is greater and higher and deeper and more profound and
that communication is sacred, it has a purity about it
Go to the sea and see the waves rising. Are the
waves separate from the ocean? Is the ocean separate from the waves? Has
anybody ever seen a wave separate from the ocean? Has anybody ever seen the
ocean without waves? They are together. In fact to say “together” is not right,
because they are one. What is a wave? – an ocean waving, an ocean in movement.
And what is an ocean?-all the waves together, all the waving together. Waving
is an aspect of the reality of the ocean.
But words create separation. When you say “the wave,”
“the ocean,” there is a difference. If you look in the dictionary, the
dictionary cannot say, “the wave is the ocean” or “the ocean is the wave.”
The dictionary will go into the etymology of the words
“wave,” “ocean” – they are separate. The dictionary has to keep them separate,
otherwise words will enter into each other and there will be great confusion.
They have to be kept separate, compartmentalized. But only words are separate;
in reality. Nothing is separate.
The tree is separate, the earth is separate, but in
realty the tree is never separate from the earth and the earth is never
separate from the tree. In words the sky is separate from the earth, but in
reality they are together. The reality is a togetherness. All things are
hanging together, intertwined, members of each other. If you start working from
one thing you will end up with the whole….
Some one says says that it is the nature of the master to change others; it
is not an effort. Nothing is being done by the master, simply his presence….And
if he appears to do something that appearance is just a trick because you
cannot understand the language of nondoing. You can only understand the
language of effort. So he creates a language for you. Even if you cannot
understand his language, he can understand your language very well. Even if you
cannot understand him, he can understand you very well.
So he gives whatsoever you can understand and by and by
your understanding grows. And one day when you really come to the point when
you can understand a master, you will start laughing – because he has not done
anything! But you will feel grateful in that moment, because without doing
anything he has totally transformed you….
Before desire and before knowing. How can I say I
am? A desire arises: with the desire, the feeling that “I am” arises. A thought
arises: with the thought, the feeling that “I am” arises. Look for it in your
own experience. Before desire and before knowing, there is no ego.
Sit silently, look within. A thought arises: you get identified
with the thought. A desire arises: you get identified with the desire. In the
identification you become the ego. Then think: there is no desire and there is
no knowing and no thought---you cannot get identified with anything. The ego
cannot arises.
Buddha used this technique. And he said to his disciple
not to do anything else but just one thing: when a thought arises, note it.
Buddha used to say that when a thought arises, note that a thought is arising.
Just inside, note it: now a thought is arising, now thought has arisen, now
thought is disappearing. Just remember that now the thought is arising, now the
thought has arisen, now the thought is disappearing, so that you don’t get
identified with it.
Whatsoever you practice, remember, practice cannot
lead you to the natural, the loose and the natural, because practice means
practicing something which is not there. Practicing means always practicing
something artificial. Nature has not to be practiced: there is no need, it is
already there. You learn something which is not there. How can you learn
something which is already there? How can you learn nature, too? It is already
there! You are born in it. There is no need to find any teacher so that you can
be taught—and that is the difference between a teacher and a master.
A master is one who teaches you something, a master is
one who help you unlearn all that you have already learned. A master is to help
you unlearn. A master is to give you the taste of the nonpracticed. It is
already there; through your learning you have lost it through your unlearning
you will regain it.
Truth is not a discovery, it is a rediscovery. It was
already there in the first place. When you came into this world it was with
you, when you were born into this life it was with you, because you are it. It
cannot be otherwise. It is not something external. It is intrinsic in you, it
is your very being. So if you practice, says tilopa, you will not know that
which is beyond practice.
Energy has been going downward through the sex
center continuously for many births, so when any energy is created it will
first try to move downward. That is why meditation sometimes will create more
sexuality in you than you have ever felt before. You will feel more sexual
because you have generated more energy than you previously had. When you have
conserved something, the old, habitual passage is ready to release it. The
mechanism is ready, the old passage is ready. Your mind only knows one passage
– the lower one, the sexual passage – so when you are meditating the first
movement of your life energy will be downward. Just be aware of it.
Do not struggle with it; just be aware of it. Be aware
of the habitual passage, be aware of sexual images; let them come. Be aware of
them, but do not do anything about the situation; just be aware of it. The
sexual pass...
Love is the ultimate in suicide. All other suicides
are small suicides. Somebody commits suicide; that is only physical. Love is
psychological suicide and meditation is spiritual suicide. In love you die
psychologically, you drop the psychological ego, and in meditation you drop the
very idea of the self, even of the supreme self. You become a nothingness…and
in that nothingness blooms the white lotus of a Buddha
There is a deep desire in everyone to commit suicide
for the simple reason, that life seems to be meaningless. People go on living,
not because they love life, they go on living just because they are afraid to
commit suicide. There is a desire to; and in many ways they do commit suicide.
Monks and nuns have committed psychological suicide, they have renounced life.
And these suicidal people have dominated humanity for centuries. They have
condemned everything that is beautiful. They have praised something imaginary
A free man belongs to himself and nobody else. A
free man is simply an energy with no name, no form, no race, no nation. The
days of nations and races are past, the days of the individual are coming. In a
better world - there will be pure individuals, perfectly free, living their life
in their own way, not disturbing anybody's life and not allowing anybody to
disturb their lives.
"Don't listen to anybody, you remain yourself.
Just bypass them, be indifferent. If you go on listening to everybody,
everybody will be prodding you to this way or that. You will never be able to
reach your innermost center.
Everybody has become eccentric. This English word is
very beautiful: it means off the center, and we use it for the mad people. But
everybody is eccentric, off the center, and the whole world is helping you to
be eccentric because everybody is prodding you. Your mother prodding you
towards north, your father towards south, your uncle is doing something else,
your brother something else, your wife, of course, something else — everybody is
trying to force you somewhere. By and by, a moment comes when you are nowhere.
You remain just on the crossroads being pushed from north to south, from south
to east, from east to west, moving nowhere. By and by, this becomes your total
situation — you become eccentric
