FROM BONDAGE TO FREEDOM
Enough just to be with me
BELOVED MASTER,
WHAT IS BEYOND PSYCHOTHERAPY?
PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Beyond
psychotherapy is your real being. Psychotherapy is confined to the mind --
and you are not the mind. The West has always divided man into body and
mind. The East, which knows more, knows that there is something beyond this
duality of body-mind.
Psychotherapy can help a little bit for those who are mentally sick, but
not much, because psychotherapists are the most mentally sick people on the
earth. More psychotherapists commit suicide than any other profession. More
psychotherapists go mad than any other profession. More psychotherapists are
sexually perverted than any other profession. And these people are trying to
help mentally sick people!
They have the expertise, they can help you a little bit; they can bring you
back to your normal state of insanity. But that which is beyond
psychotherapy brings you to real health, wholeness.
Man consists of three layers: the body -- the most visible; the being --
the most invisible; and the mind -- in between.
The mind is a good mechanism, but not a good master. It can serve you if
you are the master and the mind is the servant. But if the servant becomes
the master and starts ruling over you, that is the state of insanity. That's
why I say the whole humanity is "normally insane."
What is mind? It is all borrowed, and borrowed from different sources --
from the parents, from the neighbors, from the teachers, from the priests,
from the libraries. Its hunger is insatiable; it goes on swallowing all
kinds of information. That information may be contradictory, that
information may create tensions, may create a split -- or many splits.
For example, if you are born a Christian.... The BIBLE says the earth is
flat. From your very childhood you have believed in the BIBLE because your
parents believed in it. But in school you learn that the earth is not flat,
it is a globe. Both these pieces of information are collected by the mind.
Their conflict becomes your anxiety, and this anxiety takes thousands of
shapes. And it is impossible for you to decide which way to go; you are
pulled apart in all directions.
If you somehow can maintain your balance, this is normal insanity. Insanity
is there, but it is just the same as everybody else's. Unless you come in
close proximity to a saner person, you will not be able to think yourself
insane.
The function of the psychotherapist is, whenever somebody goes beyond the
boundary of the normal humanity, to bring him back. It is not an easy job.
It takes years, and only the very rich can afford it. Then, too, success is
not certain, because the person who is treating him is himself repressing
his own insanity.
I have heard about one psychotherapist.... He was treating a patient who
had this insane idea that thousands of flies, which nobody could see, were
sitting all over his body -- on his face, on his hands -- and he was
continuously brushing them off. Everybody said that there are no flies, but
he said, "Should I believe my own eyes or your eyes? Should I believe my own
hands which are feeling the flies, or your hands? I can see flies are not on
you; they are simply attracted to me."
Finally, it became impossible for him to do anything. His family brought
him to the psychotherapist. The psychotherapist tried, explained, analyzed
his dreams.
After two years they were sitting in the garden chitchatting -- they had
become friendly in the two years -- and the man started brushing off flies.
The psychotherapist stood up, and he said, "Not on me! I have tolerated it
for two years, but there is a limit to everything."
In these two years the madman with the flies has convinced the
psychoanalyst that flies exist, they are -- rather than the psychoanalyst
convincing him that the flies are just his imagination. It is a dangerous
game. That's why so many psychotherapists go mad; to be with mad people is
not an easy job.
In one madhouse, the old doctor had retired and the new doctor had come in,
and all the mad people were very happy. They rejoiced and danced. The doctor
said, "Why are you so happy?"
They said, "Because you are just like us! That man, although he stayed with
us for ten years, remained a foreigner. But you really understand." At that
moment the doctor saw that he himself was dancing with them, rejoicing. Even
the mad people recognized that he was also mad. They said, "This is the
greatest thing that has happened in this madhouse. Now there is no problem
-- we are all one."
This unity between the patient and the doctor.... The psychotherapist has
to create some kind of bridge to communicate, but inside him is the same
kind of mind which can go berserk any moment. And to convince a madman, a
fanatic -- and all madmen are fanatic, and all fanatics are mad -- is very
difficult.
One man, who thought he was dead, was brought to a psychoanalyst. That was
too much. The whole society was puzzled as to how to convince him that he
was not dead. His family, wife, children, parents, were all in deep sadness.
But how to convince a man that he is not dead? The psychoanalyst thought of
a method. He asked the madman, "Do you know that a dead man never bleeds?"
The madman said, "That's true, I know. How can a dead man bleed? Blood
disappears as life disappears."
The psychoanalyst took him close to the mirror, pushed a needle into his
hand, and blood came out. The psychotherapist asked him, "Now what do you
say?"
He said, "This means the proverb is wrong -- dead men do bleed! This is a
proof; nobody ever experimented before. Are you convinced, or not?"
Naturally, psychotherapists become more and more filled with these mad
people's ideas; they become their nightmare, they follow them like a shadow.
So it is understandable why they go mad more than any other profession.
And why do they commit suicide? Perhaps the tension becomes so much that
living becomes impossible. Why do they become perverted? -- because they are
surrounded by perverted people. And your mind is continuously taking
information from outside, accumulating it; it is a computer.
Psychotherapy has not done much good to humanity. It cannot.
In the East, nothing like psychotherapy has happened. You will be surprised
that in the East, for ten thousand years, no enlightened person has even
paid any attention to the mind. If they have ever talked about the mind,
they have talked in reference to meditation. And what they have talked about
is how to make the mind silent, empty, a total nothingness, a no-mind.
The state of no-mind is unknown to the West, and it is only in the state of
no-mind that one becomes aware of that which is beyond mind.... Because when
all the chattering of the mind stops and there is no more noise, the still
small voice of the being is heard. For the first time one becomes aware, "I
am here. I was not there in that crowded place, I was always out of it."
And a single moment of knowing yourself to be above the mind has given you
a master key. Now the mind can never become your master. And if the mind can
never become your master it can never drive you mad. Now the mind cannot go
on accumulating whatever it wants. Once the being asserts itself, the mind
becomes very submissive -- immediately.
It is just like in a small school... children are chitchatting, making
noise, running around in the class -- and the master appears. Immediately,
every child is in his seat, with open book, trying to look very busy; and
there is complete silence. The master has not done anything, he has not even
uttered a single world, but his presence is enough.
Exactly something like that happens. The presence of being -- and the mind
stops all its nuisance. The thoughts disappear and the mind becomes just a
pure space.
The being can see through the mind with great clarity, perception. Before
the being's arrival it was always a question of either/or -- to do this or
to do that, what is right, what is wrong -- and the mind was never able to
decide. And, whatever it decided, it was always half-hearted; hence,
repentance was always bound to happen. You were thinking to marry this woman
or that woman... finally the mind has to decide. Wavering, it comes to a
decision. By marrying one woman you come to know the woman in her totality,
and a great repentance settles in: you have chosen the wrong woman.
Nobody in the whole world has chosen the right woman, neither has any woman
chosen the right man. It is very strange.... How do you manage, out of
millions of people, always to find the wrong woman, the wrong man?
The fault is not of the man, not of the woman. The mind has no clarity. It
is clouded by so many thoughts; it is incapable of decision because it is
incapable of clarity.
Once mind is silent, once there is a state of no-mind, being is very sharp
and clear. There is no question of either/or, there is no question of
choosing; whatever the being does is choiceless. It simply does that which
the clarity allows it to do. It is always right. Just as mind is always
wrong, being is always right.
But the West has not recognized being. Hence, in the muddy waters of the
mind, Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, Alfred Adler and their progeny --
they are all just making the water more muddy. They have themselves not
known that there is something in their innermost core which cannot go mad,
which is sanity itself. Existence speaks through it -- it is the voice of
life itself.
But the psychotherapists are afraid even to discover being. There were
chances.... Jung traveled long in India, visiting the Taj Mahal, Khajuraho,
Konarak, the caves of Ajanta and Ellora -- all beautiful places. And he was
told by every person he came across, "Rather than wasting time in visiting
these places, you should not miss meeting a man, Raman Maharshi, who lives
in South India on the hill Arunachal -- it is not far away -- because he can
give you a glimpse. Perhaps in his presence, just sitting by his side or
talking to him, you may have some idea of why the East has never paid any
attention to mind, and yet has produced the greatest enlightened people, the
sanest people possible, with crystal-clear vision."
Raman Maharshi was one of those people, but Jung never went to him. He was
afraid; the very idea that there is something beyond mind was very scary.
That means the whole of psychoanalysis is meaningless, and he was not ready
to take the risk of meeting such a man. He came back from India without
visiting Raman.
Jung's fear is the fear of all psychoanalysts -- something beyond the mind
makes their whole profession utterly meaningless. And if there is a direct
method to reach the being by bypassing the mind, and if the moment you reach
the being the mind itself cools down, there is no need of any
psychoanalysis. There is no need to convince the insane person that he is
wrong. There is no need to go into deep details about his dreams, diaries,
and all kinds of nonsense.
Meditation is a direct route to being.
It simply bypasses the mind.
And once you are centered in your being, the mind, which was jumping up and
down pretending to be your master, suddenly becomes submissive; it
immediately falls silent, drops all its noise. And a man of being can use
the mind just the way you can use any mechanism. But if the mechanism starts
using you, that is an ugly state.
Man should remember that he is the master of his body and of his mind.
Certainly the master must be beyond both. And I say it on my own authority:
it is so. You can play with psychotherapy and other therapies -- they are
just games. If you like those games, no harm. They are better than football,
but they are no more than games. And they are not going to give you a new
life, they are not going to give you an authentic intelligence, a clarity
which can see into every problem without any question of either/or.
The enlightened man is nothing but the man who functions from his being.
People tell me, "We have to decide what is right and what is wrong." Yes,
you will have to decide if you live under the impact of the mind -- and none
of your decisions is going to prove right. Whatever you choose you will
suffer, and you will always look back: "Perhaps the other alternative was
better?"
The enlightened man never chooses, he lives in a choiceless awareness. In
the light of his awareness he knows what is right; it is not a question of
decision. And the moment you know what is right, with your total being, you
never repent.
For three decades continuously I have never looked back. I have never for a
single moment thought that perhaps if I had chosen something else, it would
have been better. The question does not arise.
Hence, the enlightened man carries no burden of the past, and remains clear
-- because the burden of the past is like dust gathering on your awareness,
on the mirror of your being. When the mirror is clear it simply reflects
what is the case.

So it is not a question of deciding what is right and wrong. That's why I
have never talked to my people about morality, immorality, virtue, sin,
good, bad; it is useless. I have insisted only on one point, that you become
centered in your being. And then whatever you do is right, is virtue. Yes,
there is your real being -- beyond psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is only
children's play. And it is strange, still today the psychoanalyst is not
willing even to consider the position of enlightenment. I can understand why
he cannot even consider it: psychotherapy has become his bread and butter.
It is one of the most highly paid professions.
The psychotherapist is the latest version of the priest. He is a parasite,
he is sucking blood in the name of curing insane people. And I have never
come across a single man who has been cured by psychoanalysis. Even the
psychoanalyst is not cured. The founders of psychoanalysis were not the
people who can be said to be whole and absolutely healthy in their
consciousness.
Jung was very much afraid of death. Now, that is not a sign of a meditator.
He was so afraid of death.... But it is a strange phenomenon: whatever you
are afraid of, you are also in some way obsessed by. He was obsessed with
the desire to see the mummies in Egypt. At least half a dozen times he
booked his ticket to go to Egypt, and each time he would find some excuse to
cancel it. The sixth time he gathered courage and reached the airport, but
at the airport he lost his nerve again.
He turned back, and he wrote in his diary, "I cannot go to Egypt. I cannot
see those dead bodies, hundreds of years old, because every dead body
reminds me of my own death."
A man of meditation knows there is no death. And if this kind of fear
exists in the founder of a school called analytical psychology, what can you
expect from his disciples?
Jung himself was a disciple of Sigmund Freud. And the reason they had to
part was a very funny one. Sigmund Freud was very much afraid of ghosts.
Even the word "ghost" was enough to make him go into a fit, and he would
start foaming at the mouth. So every disciple knew that the word "ghost" was
never to be mentioned before him. And this is the founder of psychoanalysis!
These people are sick themselves. Because Jung continued to use the word
"ghost," and three times made Freud go into a fit, that was too much. The
third time, when he came out of the fit, Freud told Jung, "You just get
lost! I don't want to hear anything that makes me sick."
But what is the fear in ghosts? Why is he so afraid -- such trembling, such
fear? And Freud was psychoanalyzing hundreds of people's dreams, but he
never allowed any of his disciples to psychoanalyze his dreams. He himself
was not psychoanalyzed. Strange... the founder should be available for his
own method.
The reason is clear. Freud knew what his dreams were, and how he had been
interpreting others' dreams -- making everything symbolic of sexuality. If
somebody sees a rocket in the dream, that is a phallic symbol. Anything! He
was very clever at making symbols, interpreting them as your repressed sex.
And that was the fear: because these disciples have become experts, now they
will interpret his dreams as repressed sexuality -- which he never wanted
the world to know. But this is not the way of the seeker, the way of truth.
Psychotherapy's days are numbered. As meditation spreads, psychotherapy
will start shrinking. If we can spread meditation around the earth,
psychotherapy will simply disappear. There is no use for it, and it has not
helped in any way.
And you should not get into the mud of psychotherapy -- because to get into
it is very easy but to get out of it is very difficult. You go on digging,
and you go on finding more and more mud; there is no end to it. Mind has an
infinite store of dreams, thoughts, desires, repressions, perversions.
There are people who have been psychoanalyzed for fifteen years
continuously, but their psychoanalysis is not complete. There is not even a
single man in the whole world whose psychoanalysis is complete. He is
exactly at the same stage where he had started fifteen years ago -- although
his bank balance has disappeared.
Meditation takes you to being.
It is a direct route to the beyond.
And once the master is there, mind immediately surrenders. In that
surrender is health, because the master is in his place and the servant is
in his place; the harmony is restored. And to be harmonious is all that
health means.
Question 2
BELOVED MASTER,
IS IT TRUE THAT ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS ARE BOTH MIND PROCESSES, AND IN THE
END NEITHER CAN HELP VERY MUCH?
PLEASE COMMENT.
Yes, both are mind processes, analysis and synthesis both. What can help is
witnessing -- witnessing the mind and its activities. And witnessing is the
real miracle. The more you witness, the less thoughts are there in the mind
-- in exact proportion. If your witnessing is only ten percent, then there
are ninety percent thoughts. If your witnessing is ninety percent, there are
only ten percent thoughts. If your witnessing is one hundred percent, then
there is no mind, there are no thoughts at all.
So Sigmund Freud, who talks about psychoanalysis, and Assagioli, who talks
about psychosynthesis, are in the same boat. They are both talking about
mind; neither of them is talking of going beyond mind.
Witnessing simply takes you beyond mind. And to be beyond mind is the whole
of religion, the true religion. I call it pure religiousness.
Question 3
BELOVED MASTER,
SOMEWHERE IN THOSE FAR-OFF POONA DAYS THIS QUOTATION HIT ME -- THE AUTHOR
AND EXACT WORDS NOW FORGOTTEN, BUT IT SEEMS TO SAY EVERYTHING THERE IS TO
SAY. "THE GREATEST GOOD FORTUNE THAT CAN BEFALL A MAN IS TO BE BORN IN THE
AGE OF A BUDDHA. EVEN GREATER IS THE GOOD FORTUNE OF HE WHO COMES TO HEAR OF
THE EXISTENCE OF THE BUDDHA. AND EVEN GREATER STILL IS THE GOOD FORTUNE OF
HE WHO IS DRAWN INTO THE FAMILY OF THE BUDDHA."
SO MY QUESTION IS: HOW CAN ANY SANNYASIN BE SUCH A PEABRAIN AS TO NOT BE
HERE WITH YOU COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, POISON OR PRISON, BULLETS OR BOREDOM,
ANGUISH OR AIDS?
It is true that it is a great fortune to be born in the age of an
enlightened one. It is greater fortune to have heard about him. It is an
even greater fortune to be part of his family.
But there are people who are blind; they have eyes but they cannot see.
They are deaf; they have ears but they cannot hear. Even sometimes by
accident they may get into the family of the enlightened one, but they still
remain an outsider, they never merge with it. And it has been always so.
In Gautam Buddha's time, how many people were in his family, how many of
those people became enlightened? How many people dropped out of his family
-- how many people even became enemies of Gautam Buddha? How many attempts
were made to kill him by his own ex-followers? Buddha's own cousin-brother
tried to kill him many times. He could not succeed, but he made those
efforts.
So the statement is true, but not for all. It is true only for those who
have a sensitivity to feel the presence of the enlightened one, to be soaked
in his silence, to be filled with his fragrance, to let their heart beat in
the same rhythm, to become part of his song, his dance. How many people have
eyes to see?
The birth of a buddha is very rare -- that's why the statement that it is
very fortunate to be born in the times of an enlightened one. It is more
fortunate to hear about him, because millions will not even know that he had
existed, that he was here, that the river was just flowing by their side and
they remained thirsty. Millions will see the body of the enlightened one,
but will not be able to see his spiritual aura, his energy field.
Millions will hear about him, but will not believe. Millions will hear him,
but will not listen. And there will be many who, on trivial excuses, will
leave the enlightened one's family, not knowing what they are leaving, not
knowing that their excuses are just meaningless.
And many will try even to destroy the man, because somehow his presence is
against their egos. His presence makes them feel to melt with him, to become
one with him, and there are egoistic people -- hard, they don't have hearts
-- who cannot melt. For them it is better to destroy this person, because he
is a constant reminder of their dead heart.
But there will always be a few who will remain with the enlightened one in
every situation. Nothing matters more than to be with him. But one needs a
little sensitivity, and then all stupid things become meaningless. It is
certainly a great blessing.
I am reminded of one of my vice-chancellors. He was a world-famous
historian. He had been a professor of history in Oxford for almost twenty
years, and after his retirement from Oxford, he came back to India. He had a
world-famous name, and he was elected to be the vice-chancellor of the
university I was studying in. He was a nice man, a beautiful personality,
with immense knowledgeability, scholarship, recognition -- so many books to
his credit.
By chance, the day he took charge as vice-chancellor was Gautam Buddha's
birthday. And Gautam Buddha's birthday is more important than anybody else's
birthday, because Gautam Buddha's birthday is also his day of enlightenment,
and also his day of leaving the body. The same day he was born, the same day
he became enlightened, the same day he died.
The whole university gathered to hear him speak on Gautam Buddha. And he
was a great historian, he had written about Gautam Buddha; and he spoke with
great emotion. Tears in his eyes, he said, "I have always felt that if I had
been born in Gautam Buddha's time, I would have never left his feet."
According to my habit I stood up, and I said, "You please take your words
back."
He said, "But why?"
I said, "Because they are false. You have been alive in Raman Maharshi's
time. He was the same kind of man, his was the same enlightenment -- and I
know that you have not even visited him. So whom are you trying to befool?
You would not have visited Gautam Buddha either. Wipe your tears, they are
crocodile tears. You are simply a scholar and you don't know anything about
enlightenment or people like Gautam Buddha."
There was a great silence in the auditorium. My professors were afraid that
I might be expelled; they were always afraid, that any time.... And I had
told them, "You don't be worried about me. I have been expelled from many
colleges, universities -- it has become almost my way of life, being
expelled."
But now they were very much afraid. They loved me, and they wanted me....
But to create such a situation, such an awkward situation... and nobody knew
what to do, how to break the ice. In those few seconds it looked as if hours
had passed. The vice-chancellor was standing there -- but he was certainly a
man of some superior quality. He wiped his tears and asked that he should be
forgiven -- perhaps he was wrong. And he invited me to his house so that we
could discuss it in more detail.
But he said, before the whole university, "You are right. I would not have
gone to Gautam Buddha, I know it. I was not aware when I said it; it was
just emotional, I was carried away. Yes, I have never been to Raman Maharshi
when he was alive. And I had been very close to his place many times -- I
used to deliver lectures in Madras University, from where it is only a few
hours' journey to Arunachal. I have been told by many friends, 'You should
go and see this man' -- and I always went on postponing till the man died."
The whole university could not believe it, my professors could not believe
it. But his humbleness touched everybody. Respect for him grew tremendously;
and we became friends. He was very old -- he was almost sixty-eight -- and I
was only twenty-four, but we became friends. And he never for a moment
allowed me to feel that he was a great scholar, that he was the
vice-chancellor, that he was my grandfather's age.
On the contrary, he said to me, "I don't know what happened that day; I am
not so humble a man. Being a professor in Oxford for twenty years, being a
visiting professor to almost all the universities of the world, I have
become very egoistic. But you destroyed everything in a single stroke. And I
will remain grateful to you for my whole life: if you had not stood up, I
might have remained believing that I would have done this. But now I would
like it... if you can find someone, then I would like to sit by his feet and
listen to him."
And you will not believe it that when I said, "Then sit down and
listen...." he said, "What!"
I said, "Just look at me. Don't be bothered by my age, sit down and listen
to me." And you will not believe it -- that old man sat down and listened to
me, to whatever I wanted to say to him. But rare are people who have so much
courage and so much openness.
After that day he used to come to the hostel to visit me. Everybody was
puzzled: what had happened? -- and I had created for him such an
embarrassing situation! He used to take me to his house, and we would sit
together and he would ask me, "Say anything -- I want to listen. My whole
life I have been talking; I have forgotten listening. And I have been saying
things which I don't know." And he listened the way a disciple listens to a
master.
My professors were very much puzzled. They said, "Have you done some magic
on that old man? or has he gone senile? or what is the matter? To see him,
we have to make an appointment, and we have to wait on a long list. When our
time comes, only then can we meet him. And he comes to see you -- not only
that, he listens to you. What has happened?"
I said, "The same can happen to you too, but you are not that intelligent,
not that sensitive, not that understanding. That old man is really rare."
And you will not believe it: one year after I left the university I came
back to the same town to deliver a lecture in a conference. The
vice-chancellor came to listen to me and said, "You will have to talk to the
students of your university also." So I went to the university to talk to
the students.
And this is the most unbelievable part: when I reached the podium, he
touched my feet. I said to him, "What are you doing?"
He said, "I should have done it before, but I cannot miss this chance.
Perhaps we may meet again, we may not meet again." And we did not meet
again, because after just two days, he died. But before the whole university
he touched my feet -- the feet of one of his students.
Such sensitivity is unique -- and such humbleness. But the love and the
compassion and the benediction and the blessings of the enlightened one
shower only on such people.
Question 4
BELOVED MASTER,
BEING WITH YOU, WHAT DOES GROWTH MEAN?
It is enough just being with me. Growth will come of its own accord, there
is no need to be bothered about growth. Just being with me you will become
more and more silent, more and more loving, more and more soft, more and
more humble, more and more melted into the universal flow of life.
The moment you have melted like a snowflake, the growth has come. When you
are not, the growth has happened. You are the barrier, you are preventing
it.
And I am giving you the simplest method: Just being with me -- alert,
aware, receptive, open -- all that is possible to human beings will become
possible to you. Neither I have to do anything, nor have you to do anything.
This is called by the ancient mystics of China, action without action.
Question 5
BELOVED MASTER,
WHAT IS THE POINT OF CALLING YOUR JUICY DISCOURSES, THE BIBLE?
[These discourses were first given under the title, THE RAJNEESH BIBLE --
Ed.]
The point is clear. The Bible of the Christians is not juicy. They have
destroyed a beautiful word, "bible." It has become dead. I want to make it
alive. I love the word, and I want to give it all the juice that is
possible.
The point is very simple: so people can see the dead BIBLE and the living
Bible -- the BIBLE which is just dry bones and the BIBLE which has juice.
Now the choice is theirs.
Okay?
