Also, if it becomes a scientifically proven fact - which I have no doubt it will once science starts moving in that direction and drops the Christian or the Jewish or the Mohammedan idea of only one life_That is simply stupid, because in existence nothing dies; everything continues, only forms change. Why should it be otherwise as far as life is concerned?

If people become aware that they have lived the same kind of life thousands of times_and this was the use that the theory of reincarnation was put to - to create a great boredom and a fed-upness, because all these things you have done before. And you have not learned anything, you are again_for thousands of lives you have been running for power, for money, and you are still doing that. It seems every life's experience is being erased and you start from abc again!

If it becomes scientifically supported, you will have great difficulty in repeating the same stupid games. You have played enough - it is time to change, it is time to raise your consciousness; it is time to go beyond this vicious circle of moving from one life into another, again and again like a wheel.

The Hindi word for the world is samsara and the word samsara means "the wheel which goes on moving." This is what I was saying about how difficult it is to communicate. The people who gave the world the name samsara had a certain idea behind it: to remind you so that you don't go on moving like a mechanical wheel. And when they said, "Renounce samsara," they were not saying to renounce the world, they were saying to renounce this wheel-like movement.

But it has been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and people started renouncing the world and going to the mountains and the caves and the monasteries. And perhaps they had gone to the monasteries in their past lives also! It is part of the samsara - those monasteries, those mountains, the marketplace. Whether you live with your wife or you renounce her - these are all part of the wheel.

Ecstasy always arises when two polarities meet. The bigger the polarities, the bigger the distance between the polarities, the bigger the ecstasy. That's why while you are making love to a woman there is great joy, because two polarities meet. Not very big polarities, because a man and woman are not very far away - not very distant, but still distant. When a man and woman meet and are lost in love there is great ecstasy, there is great joy because they are dissolved, the egos are lost. Boundaries are no more valid - they are overlapping, overflowing into each other. Their ordinary mundane worries don't make any sense in this moment of joy. This orgasmic moment, how does it arise? It is the meeting of the polarities. What to say about Jesus meeting Christ, Gautama meeting

Buddhahood, man meeting God - those are the ultimate polarities as far away as possible - finite meeting infinite. The very meeting is the ultimate in celebration.

Jesus must have been ecstatic. Because of the Christian painting, Christian ideology, he looks very sad. He must have been a man of great joy, overflowing with delight. What else is possible when the light has happened inside? - delight has to happen outside. They go together. When the house is lit - even with closed windows, travelers can see the light falling outside, from the curtains, from the doors. That is delight! When light has happened inside, from the outside people can see something immensely valuable flowing.

That is the definition of ecstasy: polarities meeting.

And I learned with these small things, by and by, that this society rewards lies, punishes truth. It teaches truth, but never rewards the truth. This whole society is against the individual, it wants everybody retarded. The retarded people are good: they never give anybody any problem, they cannot raise questions, they are easily enslaved. The individual is essentially rebellious. He will say yes only when he feels it, otherwise he is going to say no.

You ask me how I am preparing to change the world. I am doing just the opposite of what society has done to individuals. I have to undo it; there is no need to do anything else. My sannyas is simply a process of undoing what the society has done to you. I am simply provoking your intelligence again. It is dormant - it is there, nobody can kill it, it can only be repressed. Finding a suitable, comfortable situation, it can again start growing.

I want every one of my sannyasins to be utterly unique. This is one of the reasons I am against communism, because communism is the ultimate result of destroying individuals. Other societies have done it partially, communism does it totally - hence in these seventy years in Soviet Russia, not a single rebel. Strange. A country which brags about revolution, but does not produce revolutionaries.

It is something worth noting that before the revolution Russia was a poor country, but it had many geniuses. Perhaps no country could have competed in the early years of this century, or the last part of the preceding century. If you wanted to choose the ten best novels of the whole world, from all languages, you will be surprised that at least five will be Russian. And they will be the topmost. And after the revolution, not a single novel. What happened to the genius of the country?

There was Fyodor Dostoyevsky, who has written as nobody else has written in the world. His insight is so penetrating that if the Bible is lost, nothing is lost; but if his books are lost, humanity will be always poor, because Fyodor Dostoyevsky cannot be replaced by anyone. And there were all these men: Leo Tolstoy - a giant, each thing that he has written should be written in gold - Chekhov, Gorky, Turgenev. These five people you would have to put first. Only then, five from the rest of the world.

One of my sannyasins went to see U.G. Krishnamurti, and because he argued with him, U.G. Krishnamurti immediately became angry. And these people like U.G. Krishnamurti are telling people to drop anger, to drop greed, to drop the ego. But if you provoke them... Their whole religion is just skindeep. Inside is hiding a very pious ego, and when ego becomes pious it becomes poisonous. It is more dangerous because you become absolutely unaware of it, it goes so deep down in the unconscious. U.G. Krishnamurti lived with J. Krishnamurti for twelve years, and he never mentions his name. If somebody brings up J. Krishnamurti's name, he immediately condemns J. Krishnamurti -- and whatever he is saying is just an imitation of J. Krishnamurti, paraphrasing. The reason he cannot accept the fact that he has been with J. Krishnamurti for twelve years is very simple. The moment he accepts it, then you can compare his statements with J. Krishnamurti's, and you will find they are simply paraphrasing. He is repeating, imitating, he knows nothing.

I can expose ug krishnamurti.
