The earth is full of hypocrites, pretenders, deceivers

103381.jpgI AM NOT AGAINST ANYTHING: not against sex, not against love, not against money, not against matter, not against at all. I would like my people to live life in its totality. IF YOU DON'T LIVE LIFE IN TOTALITY, you become a hypocrite; and the hypocrite is incapable of knowing the truth.

 
    Little Peter and little Johnny asked their grandma, "How children are born, granny?"
    "The stork brings them in his beak, my children," said the grandmother.
    Little Peter and little Johnny looked at each other, and then little Johnny said, "What do you think, Peter? Shall we tell her?"
    "No! No!" said Peter. "Leave her in her innocence!"
 
    The husband and wife decided never to fight in front of their children, so all their fights were wreathed in smiles and full of endearments such as 'dear' and 'darling'.
    It was only when one day they heard their two sons fighting viciously that they then realized what the effect of their charades had been. When asked who had started the fight, one of the little boys exclaimed, "He called me 'darling' first, mommy, honest, he did!..."

 

    THE HYPOCRITE'S MIND becomes very upside-down; he cannot see things as they are. He wants to see one thing, but he tries to show that he is seeing something else. He says one thing, he means another. He wants to do one thing, but he goes on doing something else. HIS LIFE BECOMES UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED; unnecessarily he creates conflict within himself. He becomes divided, and there is a constant civil war....
 
    Avoid being a hypocrite! But our society all over the world, the so-called civilization and culture only create hypocrites. THE EARTH IS FULL OF HYPOCRITES, PRETENDERS, DECEIVERS. That is not the way to hear the primordial sound; one has to be simple and innocent.
 
    And why this hypocrisy? Why in the first place it starts? IT STARTS BECAUSE OF OUR CONDEMNATION. If you condemn something, of course, that has to be denied, ignored, overlooked. You have to forget all about it, as if it does not exist.
 
    If some being from some other planet comes to earth, he will be very much puzzled and surprised how children are produced, because he will never see what is happening -- he will never see the truth. AND ALL KINDS OF NONSENSE  will be told to him which will be as far away from reality as possible.
 
    The Upanishads are LIFE-AFFIRMATIVE -- LIFE IN ITS TOTALITY. The Upanishadic seers lived as ordinarily as you live. They were not mahatmas, they were not saints. They were seers but not saints, they were sages but not saints. They lived a very ordinary life, of course with a very extraordinary intensity and passion.... People should be simple, people should be ordinary and live the ordinary life with extraordinary intensity.
