Watch,witness,observe your thoughts-without any judgement,without any condemnation or evaluation...

The really intelligent person keeps his childhood alive to his last breath.He never loses it-the wonder the child feels looking at the birds,looking at the flowers,looking at the sky...Intelligence also has to be,in the same way,childlike.

Destroy Your Beliefs
 I do not believe in believing.  That has to be
 understood first. Nobody asks me, 'Do you believe in rose flowers? There is no
need.  You can see; the roseflower is there or it
isn't. Only fiction, not facts, have to be believed.

Belief is comfortable, convenient; it dulls.  It is a  kind of drug; it makes you a zombie.  A zombie can be a Christian, \Hindu,
Mohammedan - but they are all zombies, with different labels. And sometimes you get fed up with one label, so they
change the label; the Hindu becomes a Christian, the Christian becomes  a Hindu, a new label, a fresh label, but behind the label the same belief system.
Destroy your beliefs. Certainly it will be uncomfortable, inconvenient but
nothing valuable  is ever gained without inconvenience.

When you dance, you become a whirlwind and by and by, you are completely lost in your dancing, it happens - something breaks down inside you, the barriers are lost - you become one unity. A great orgasm spreads all over your being. You are in tune with existence in those moments.

What is fear?  Why are you so afraid?  Even if everything is known about you and you are an open book, why fear?  How can it harm you?  Just false conceptions, just conditionings given by the society - that you have to hide, that you have to protect yourself, that you have to be constantly in a fighting mood, that everybody is and enemy, that everybody is against you.  Nobody is against you!  Even if you feel somebody is against you, he is not against you because everybody is concerned with himself, not with you

The world is full of cowards, hence people stop growing.  With each new opportunity you shrink back, you close your eyes.  And because you cannot grow you have to find a substitute growth.  You can not grow, but your bank account grows - that is a substitute.  It needs no courage; it is perfectly adjusted with your cowardliness.  Your bank balance goes on growing and you start to think that you are growing.  You become more respectable.  You name and fame go on growing and you think you are growing.  You are simply deceiving yourself, your name is not you, neither is your fame you.  You bank balance is not your being.

Memory is a dead thing. Memory is not truth and cannot ever be, because truth is always alive, truth is life; memory is persistence of that which is no more.  It is living in ghost world, but it contains us, it is our prison.  In fact it is us.  Memory creates the knot, the complex called the I and the ego

Fear kills, want to kill.  Fear is destructive.  Love is creative energy.  When you love  you would like to create - you may like to sing a song, paint, write poetry, but you would not take a bayonet or an atom bomb and go rushing off madly to kill people who are absolutely unknown to you, who have done nothing, who are as unknown to you as you are to them.

If you are really spontaneous, people will think you are mad.  If you go to a tree and start talking, or to a flower, people will think you are mad.  If you go to a church and talk to a cross or to an image, nobody will think your are mad, they will think that you are religious.  You are talking to a stone in a temple and everybody thinks you are religious because this is the authorized form.

Remember that hate is not the opposite of love as people think.  Hate is love standing upside down; it is not the opposite of love.  The real opposite of love is fear.  In love one expands, in fear one shrinks.  In fear one becomes closed, in love one opens.  In fear one doubts, in love one trusts.  In fear one is left lonely.  In love one disappears; hence there is no question of loneliness at all.  Love is when you have known your inner sky.  There is no higher religion than love
