Quality of Prayer !

Once Mohammed asked a young man to go with him to pray.

The young man could not avoid it,
because Mohammed had asked him – just as you cannot avoid something if I ask you to do it!

In the morning he went with Mohammed. Mohammed stood there and prayed, and the young man also stood and began to murmur something.

He could only murmur.
Mohammed became very uneasy and thought, ”I made a mistake in bringing this man here.

” But now there was no way out of it. After praying, they left. It was morning and people were still in their beds.

The young man said to Mohammed, ”Sir, what will happen to these people? Though this is the time
for prayer they are still in their beds. What do you think of them? Will they go to hell?”

Mohammed replied, ”I do not know where they will go, but I shall have to go back to the mosque.”

The man asked, ”What has happened to you?”
Mohammed said, ”My first prayer has become useless –

I have harmed you. Before offering prayers this morning at least you were humble; you did not consider these people sinful.

This is another harm done.
Please pardon me, and do not come to the mosque again.

Now I must go back again to pray, because now my first prayer is useless.

I have harmed you by bringing you to the mosque because now you have become more egoistic and vain.

The ego should be shattered by prayers,but yours has become stronger!”

Have you seen how proudly a man walks with a saffron mark and sandal paste on his forehead?

He behaves as if God has given him a special license.

Such people think they are God’s relatives,God’s family, God’s chosen ones. Now they will not rest content until they have condemned the
whole world to hell.

Man must be considered a very strange animal when he can become full of ego even through prayer.

There is no limit to his cunningness.

The essential quality of prayer is the abandonment, the death of the Ego.

CHAPTER 19. TRANSFORMATION IS THE TEST
The Heartbeat of the Absolute

HOW CAN I STOP WANTING TO BE SPECIAL?

Because you ARE special, and there is no need to be special. You ARE special, you ARE unique - God never creates anything less than that.

Everyone is unique, utterly unique. There has been no person like you before, and there will NEVER be a person like you again. God has taken this form for the first time and the last time, so there is no need to try to become special, you already are. If you are trying to be special you will become ordinary. Your very effort is rooted in misunderstanding. It will create confusion, because when you try to become special you have taken one thing tor granted - that you are not special. You have become ordinary already. You have missed the point.

Now, once you have taken it for granted that you are ordinary, how can you become special? You will try this way and that, and you will remain ordinary, because your base, your foundation is wrong. Yes, you can go to the dressmaker and can find more sophisticated dresses, you can have your hair style done again, you can use cosmetics; you can learn a few things and become more knowledgeable, you can paint and start thinking that you are a painter; you can do a few things, you can become famous or notorious, but deep down you will know that you are ordinary. All these things are on the outside. How can you transform your ordinary soul into an extraordinary soul? There is no way.

And God has not given any way because he never makes ordinary souls, so he could not think about your problem. He HAS given you a special, extraordinary soul. He has never given it to anybody.

This is just made for you.
. There is no need to get it, it is already there - recognise it. Go into your self and feel it. Nobody's thumb print is like yours - not even the thumb print. Nobody's eyes are like yours; nobody's sound is like yours; nobody's flavour is like yours. You are absolutely exceptional. There is not a double of you anywhere. Even two twins are different - howsoever alike they look, they are different. They go different ways, they grow different ways; they attain to different kinds of individualities.

This recognition is needed.

Honesty-Hipocrisy !

One day I was just playing; I must have been four or five years old, not more than that.

My father was shaving his beard when somebody knocked on the door; my father said to me, ”Just go and tell him, ’My father is not at home.’”I went out and I said, ”My father is shaving and he says to tell you, ’My father is not at home.

’”The man said, ”What?
He is inside?”I said, ”Yes, but this is what he has told me. I have told you the whole truth.”The man came in and my father looked at me: What had happened?

And the man was very angry,he said, ”This is something! You had called me to come at this time, and you send a message with the boy that you have gone out.

”My father asked him, ”But how did you find out that I was in?”He said, ”This boy has said the whole thing, that ’My father is in. He is shaving his beard, and he has told me to tell you that he is out.

’”My father looked at me. I could understand; he was saying, ”Just wait! Let this man go, and I will show you.”And I told him, ”I am going before this man leaves.

”He said, ”But I have not said anything to you.”I said, ”I have understood everything!”

I told the man, ”Just stay here.
First let me get out, because there is going to be trouble for me.” But on departing I said to my father, ”You insist with me,’Be truthful....’

So,” I said, ”this is a chance to be truthful, and to check whether you really mean me to be truthful, or is it just that you’re trying to teach me cunningness?

”Of course he understood that it was better to keep quiet, not to quarrel with me then, because when the man was gone, I would have to come home. I came after two or three hours so that he would cool down or other people would be there and no problem would arise.

He was alone. I went in, he said, ”Don’t be worried – I will never tell you anything like that again. You have to forgive me.” He was in this way a fair man, otherwise who bothers about a four, five-year old child, and asks – being a father – ”Forgive me”?

And he never said anything like it again his whole life. He knew that with me he had to be different than with other children.

As you grow up, as the society goes on teaching you to be this way, to behave this way, you start becoming a hypocrite, and you become identified with your hypocrisy.

My function here is to destroy all hypocrisy in you.

To me honesty is not a policy.

Just at supper I was telling Vivek that the man who first made up this maxim, ”Honesty is the best policy,” must have been a very cunning man.

Honesty is not policy; and if it is policy, then it is not honesty: you are honest because it pays, you will be dishonest if that pays.

Honesty is the best policy if it is paying, but if sometimes it is not paying, then dishonesty of course is the best policy.

CHAPTER 3. BEWARE! I AM HERE TO DESTROY YOUR DREAMS
From Personality to Individuality

Growing in Romance !

Married people have completely forgotten what Romance is.

A real marriage will go on growing in Romance.

But our whole life is unreal, hence our marriages are unreal.

Because our individualities are not there, we are phoney, then whatsoever we do with those phoney personalities becomes doubly phoney.

And whenever there is a possibility of coming across some truth, fear arises.

The wife wants to become a sannyasin: the husband becomes stubbornly antagonistic. The husband wants to become a sannyasin: the wife becomes absolutely antagonistic.

The fear is that something new is there and it may disturb the arrangement.

And people want to live in security, even if security means death.

People want to live in comfort, even if comfort simply means nothing but dragging your life.

Security, comfort, convenience, have become ultimate values.

In a society which thinks of security as a value, comfort as a value, convenience as a value,everybody remains afraid, nobody wants anything to change.

Everybody is for the status quo: let things remain as they are, don’t touch them.
