Shubhendu Kumarhar citeretfor 2 år siden
You are weak – not because others are strong – you are weak because you are filled with so many desires. You are defeated, not because others are more cunning and clever – you are defeated because you have so many leakages.

Tathata – acceptance, total acceptance, means no desire. Desire arises out of non-acceptance. You cannot accept a certain situation, so desire arises.

Chuang Tzu and Lao Tzu used to say: Concentrate on the toe. Close your eyes and move into the toe and remain there. That will give you a balance. The head has given you much imbalance. The toe … ? It looks like they are joking. They mean it, they are not joking. They are right.

I have heard of a man who was on the verge of becoming bankrupt. He was afraid to go to the market, to his shop. He was afraid to even walk on the streets. One day as he was coming out of his bathroom he fell down and was paralyzed. Now all sorts of treatments are being done for him. But we do not want to accept that the man wanted to become paralyzed. He did not think about this consciously, but that is not the point. Nor does it matter whether he had made up his mind or not to get paralyzed – most probably he never thought of it. But somewhere inside his mind, in his unconscious, he must have wanted that he should not have to go to the market or to the shop or on the streets. This is the first thing.

Secondly, he also wanted people to be less hostile towards him and wanted them to start showing some sympathy – these were his deep desires. Obviously his body will support him. The body always follows the mind like a shadow; it will always support the mind. The mind makes the arrangements. Actually we never realize what arrangements the mind has in its store. If you have fasted for the whole day, then you will have a meal in the night – the mind will see to that. It will tell you in your dreams that you have fasted for the whole day, you must be uncomfortable; let’s go to a feast at the king’s palace. And you will eat there in the night in your dream.

The mind arranges for everything that the body could not do. So most of the dreams we see are just like these – just substitutes. What we could not do in the day we do in the night. Mind arranges all these things. If suddenly in the night you feel like going to the bathroom, then it means that the mind is sounding an alarm. It will send you to the bathroom in your dream and you will feel less strain on your bladder. You will think that that is alright and that you have been to the bathroom. The mind arranges so that your sleep is not disturbed. Throughout the day and night, the mind is constantly making arrangements so that all your desires are fulfilled.

This man had an attack of hemiplegia and he fell down. Now we are trying to treat that. But actually the medicines might harm him, because he does not have hemiplegia; he has brought the disease upon himself. Even if we treat his paralysis then he will manifest a second or a third, or maybe a fourth disease. Actually, until he gathers courage to go to the market he will suffer from one disease or another. And as soon as he falls ill he realizes that the whole situation has changed. Now he has some justification for going bankrupt. What can I do?--I am paralyzed! Now he can tell his creditors, “How can I repay you? You can see the condition I am in.” Actually, when the creditor will come to him, he himself will feel ashamed to ask for
