NOTES OF A MADMAN
- A synopsis
Good,
this is what I mean by being unmiserly. Mind is always
miserly, is always a cheat. It cannot be otherwise. Mind
always tries to limit, to stop, because it is possible
to control the limited. One should give totally in
everything, then one can know the is-ness of life. It is
the very spirit of living... not great nor holy, not the
other chaining the other.
I
have been leading a revolution, not of gradualness -- so
once in a while be fearless. And remember, with me there
is no danger. I have nothing to lose, I have lost
everything. I have nothing more to lose because now I
have only that which cannot be lost -- ever.
The
Upanishads sing, "Take us beyond the deathless...."
Who can do it for you? It is futile. Only you yourself
can go; nobody can take you, only you. The Upanishads
go on, but it is only beautiful words. Words are words;
howsoever beautiful, they are empty, they can never
contain the poetry, they never contain the essence.

SESSION 6
"O
Lord,
take
us from untruth to truth...."
But
how can anybody take you from the untruth? You are clinging
to it. Nobody is holding you to it, you are clinging; it is
in your hatred, your anger, your jealousy, your miserliness.
Who can take you beyond it except your understanding of it?
I emphasize, only understanding is the way. It is not a road
ready-made for you. You have to make it. You have to make
it, and you have to make it by living it. There is no other
method.
You
have never been in this isness before. This is rare.
The
Himalayas are full of snow, pure whiteness, pure innocence,
purity. That's what the word snow-white represents; that is
my color. Orange is the color of my disciples, the color of
sunrise. My color is white, and can only be white, because
white contains all the other colors. It is all; it is one.
You
have to listen to me, absolutely. It is a one- way affair: I
say, and you listen... I order you. There is no other way.
When I am working on your soul, do not disturb me.
Look:
I am a poor man, the poorest, but also the richest poor man,
if such a thing is possible. I have everything that no king
on earth has. Napoleon and Alexander must be jealous... they
must be.
So
listen and don't try to say anything to me, because whatever
you say is bullshit! As far as I am concerned I simply want
to be myself. One day what I am saying here, in the privacy
of your Noah's Ark, will have to be declared, but wait.
All
that is great comes from here.
All
that has splendor comes from here. All that is
beautiful
comes from here....
I
am afraid that even my fingers may not be able to say what I
want.
I
love to be on these peaks. I love the heights. This beauty,
this is sundram. This is something that I can only explain
to my lovers. It is beautiful. This is not a story, it is
not a novel, it is reality. My tear is a proof. Truth has to
be proved by one's tears, by one's existence, by one's way
of living.
A
scientist cannot be generous. He has to take care, he has to
be the calculator, the cautious... but again his left side
is taking over. Ashu is winning. This is a polar alignment.
Devageet, the man, to the right; the woman, Ashu, to the
left. This is not accidental. No man can be on the left,
only a woman, because only a woman can be on the left; only
a woman because only a woman can connect with me from the
left side.
Man
is just this poor right hand -- workable, usable, technical,
but otherwise of no use. The right side has no poetry, so
man should remain on the right; then he is right. When he
tries to be on the left he is wrong.
Don't
be afraid that I am going mad or something -it is
impossible. How can a madman go mad again? Impossible! So
with me you can be absolutely fearless.
Just
like a flower...
a
flower,
the
bees are buzzing around it.
That
is what happens around me:
The
flower opens
and
the bees start coming
and
singing.
When
I see that you are going mad I will stop. Till then let the
flower grow and the birds sing. I am a little crazy.
Everyone knows it so no need to worry.
Ahhhh
the flowers...
the
birds... the bees...
I
love it all.
Nothing
can harm me,
not
even death.
Now,
now... it is immense!
The
very grandeur of it...
the
grace of it...
I
am afraid to say so....
I
hear your giggles. I am afraid my body may not be able to
express it. For twenty-five years I have been speaking, and
with a wrong pronunciation. Who cares? What matters is the
heights from which I am speaking. Why are you in a hurry?
You are hurrying to nowhere. Call everyone here.
If
there is time to relax... let me relax once in a while. I
should check whether you are conscious or not. Never be
afraid, even if I die at this moment, because I'll be dying
with all my blessings, all my joy, whether expressed or not.
Devageet
seems to be a little shaky, even more than me when I walk.
Have you seen me walking? It is so difficult for me, but as
far as the heights are concerned, I can fly.
I
am such a devil! I have always been a devil!
