MIND - You have many minds but you have
only one heart. Have you observed this fact? You don't have one mind; you are multipsychic, you have many minds. They
constantly change-every moment your mind changes. One moment it is full of doubt, another moment it is full of belief,
and another moment again it is full of doubt. One moment it wants to take the jump, another moment it escapes. One moment
you are so full of love, another moment so full of anger and hate. --- Watch it: you have a thousand and one minds,
and they go on rotating. There is a kind of rotation system in your head. For a moment one mind becomes the master,
and in that moment you decide something and you think you will be able to do it. You will not be able to, because
next moment the monarch is gone. It is a rotation system: another mind has come up, now another spoke of the wheel has
come up. And this mind knows nothing of the decision that the other mind has taken. - This self knows nothing of the
other self; it will destroy whatsoever you have decided. One moment you decide never to smoke again, another moment
you are pulling out your cigarette packet. And you are surprised-just a moment ago you had decided, and the decision
seemed so total, so TRUSTABLE. And now it is all gone, gone down the drain, nothing of it is there. And you are
perfectly willing to smoke again. And again that old mind will come back and torture you, and you will repent and think
that you are guilty. - But this will go on changing. Mind is a flux, it is a continuum of many minds. And that's why
those who live in the mind live a disintegrated, fragmentary life. - The heart is one, it is always one. The heart
means the watching consciousness in you. Who is the watcher of the head? Try to meditate over it. Anger comes: who is
watching? You know perfectly well that there is anger; you know perfectly well that it is coming and growing, you
know perfectly well that soon you will be overwhelmed by it. And then it is going, receding, disappearing, you know
it is gone. Gone, gone, gone, it is no more there.Who is watching? - Love comes and goes. Misery comes, happiness comes,
everything comes and everything goes. Who is watching? The watcher remains. - Only one thing in you is constant, and
that is the watcher. Everything changes, only the watcher abides. That watcher is your soul. - The real silence happens
when you start watching the noise of your mind. - There is a constant traffic in the mind-thoughts, memories,
imagination, thousands of desires. It is always a crowd moving in all directions. If you can stand by the side of the
road and just watch, without any evaluation, judgment, without condemning something or appreciating something
- just sitting on the bank of the river, watching the flow of the river, unconcerned, detached, just being a pure witness,
then the miracle happens ...
EVIL - Jesus says: "Resist not evil." A very strange
statement. No other awakened person has given such a rebellious statement. Christian priests, missionaries, don't
talk about it at all. They talk about other things, but they don't talk about this strange statement: "Resist not
evil." It seems very illogical, irreligious. Evil HAS to be resisted - and Jesus says: "Resist not evil." Why? ---
There is a secret in it. If you resist evil, you give energy to it. Every resistance gives energy to the thing resisted.
"Don't resist evil" means if you DON'T resist it, it will drop of its own accord because you will not be nourishing
it with your energy; you are disconnected immediately. - Only love can be just because only love can understand. Without
love there is no understanding and without understanding how can there be any justice? Science and the mind cannot
know anything about love and cannot know anything about man's inner being and cannot know anything about God. It is
impossible because the scientific approach itself inhibits it, prohibits it. The very approach is such,the requirement
is such, the methodology is such that; these things are debarred ... If you want to understand the truth you have
to be very loving. If you really want to understand the whole of life in all its dimensions, you have to approach
it with great love and care. You have to be very tender, soft. And then a new phenomenom arises in you: your life
becomes full of justice. You cannot be unjust then; you cannot be unfair then - it is impossible. A loving person
cannot be unfair. And love is always protected by God. Only those who are not in love are unprotected; those who are
not in love are always in insecurity. The moment you enter love, you enter absolute security, safety, because love
is another name of God and God is protection. The ordinary man lives in fear, anxiety. He tries to protect himself,
hence he becomes very tense. Once God is known, tasted, death disappears. Death exists only for those who have not
known love. Those who have known love are beyond death.

Trade Secret -
The Religious & Social Abusers have destroyed people's
respect for themselves, and they have created guilt in everybody. And you can create guilt for anything, but once
guilt is created, the religious or social abuser has become powerful. The person who 'creates' guilt in you becomes
powerful over you - because then only he or she can redeem you of guilt . Then you'll have to go to then,- then you can
be used by them ---

You have to be alert not to allow the
mind to disturb your peace in the present, and the future will take care of itself. Let your blissfulness be the only
criterion. If something is making you blissful, it is bound to be real - because from the unreal you cannot get
blissfulness. And if your blissfulness goes on growing, then you are on the right path.
Every thing that you perceive outside of yourself is
a reflection to you. That which you judge to be negative indeed is a reflection of who you are. That which
you judge to be wondrously beautiful is also a reflection of who you are. Whatever it is in your life that you resist,
that you judge, that you push away, that you repress or suppress, all of it will come back to you. Whatever it
is you resist will persist and persist until you come into allowance, until you come into embracement, until you come
into non-judgement. There are only two forces in all of man: One is fear and one is love. Without love you
are fighting for survival, with it you are free and creative. It is not about loving anyone else, it is about loving
you. Judgement {who is bad or who is wrong} will bring about separation pain and fear- whatever you invalidate
in others, you empower. Love unifies.
The only way you can change is to acknowledge and embrace
your fears. To release the pain, nullify the judgement - discern, do not judge. Other peoples' journeys are
none of your business, what anybody else thinks of you is none of your business - your business is you. You will
need to transmute fear into love to discover who you really are - And as you transmute the pain, so it is that you
create the change in your universe.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can
do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

A Native American grandfather was talking to his
grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the
vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which
wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered, "The one I feed." +++
NATURE,HUMAN - There is no particular nature.
Eech has his own particular nature - there is nothing like a generalized nature, nothing like human nature. Jesus
has his nature, I have mine, you have yours. And when you flower, you will flower in a different way. --- Everybody
has his own. Even Jesus' Master, John the Baptist, had a different quality. Jesus never followed him - he started
moving in different ways. It has to be so. There is no problem in it. --- I have to follow my nature. This is
how I see that it is more helpful to you. It is my way, there is no comparison, no criterion. --- And there
is nothing like human nature. Each individual human being has his own nature. So if you reach to a Buddha he will
be tatally different from Jesus. If you ask a Buddhist, he will say that Jesus must have been a little political,
that he was not purely religious, otherwise why should he be crucified? Buddha was not crucified! --- Mahavira lived
naked, so his followers think that everybody who has attained has to live naked, because when you become innocent, what
is the use of clothes? Jesus is not realized because he is still wearing clothes. Even a Buddha is not realized -
he is still wearing clothes! --- So these are different people, and they have all attained in their own ways; their
expressions are unique. And it is good that they are unique, otherwise life will be too monotonous. Think - a row of Jesuses
standing in a queue. It will look ugly. Alone Jesus is beautiful, a precious diamond, but if there are too many just like
him, he will be a pebble on the shore - nothing of worth. --- ------------
