00:00The real teacher has a great responsibility to make himself unnecessary.
00:08What if the teacher is known by his followership?
00:19And mind you, the real ones hardly ever had any followership.
00:28It is the primary duty of the teacher to make himself redundant.
00:33You have helped someone only if he no longer needs your help.
00:40But if the guru has his own self-interest in mind, he will continue to ensure that you
00:46return to him day after day.
00:53And you can continue to return to him only if he pleases you.
00:57That's one clear indication of the self-interest of the guru.
01:02The real ones were always myth-busters, iconoclasts.
01:08They never pleased their audiences.
01:10That is why they received the treatment that they did, discarded, ostracized, stoned, killed,
01:20crucified.
01:21They had no concern for the status quo.
01:25They had no concern for what you like.
01:28They were not pleasant.
01:29They were not smiling.
01:33They didn't want to make you feel good.
01:41They were not bothered whether you return to them or not.
01:49They did not make arrangements that a thousand people must come to me.
02:01The teacher's role is to show that a teacher is not needed.
02:06That is the rightful role of the teacher.
02:10I repeat, the teacher's role is to show that you are unnecessarily coming to the teacher.
02:16You are self-sufficient.
02:17Are the gurus doing that?
02:24Does it happen that they ensure that people do not return?
02:29Does it happen that they attack so vigorously that people feel bad?
02:37The real teacher, at least if you look at the prominent teachers in India, the real
02:45ones have always been shown carrying weapons.
02:49They were not pleasing personalities.
02:51They were not like this.
02:58In Zen, you have stories of masters who would always be carrying a stick and hit hard.
03:03Yes, of course, they would not please you.
03:07They would not allow you to go to sleep.
03:09They would wake you up.
03:10And if you don't wake up, you get a tight slap.
03:15But if you are somebody who counts numbers, then you won't be given a slap.
03:21He won't give you a slap.
03:24You know a particular Zen story?
03:28The master asks a particular question, a mischievous student unnecessarily keeps raising his hand.
03:36There are people who are fond of talking, talking, can't listen to the teacher.
03:46So the master calls that one here and cuts off his finger, cuts off his finger.
03:53And the story says that the disciple was immediately enlightened.
04:02In Zen, that is what is there, immediate enlightenment.
04:05The real teacher would never be too acceptable.
04:16He would not look like a pleasing fatherly figure.
04:26Because only that pleases you, which allows you to continue you as you.
04:33And the teacher's responsibility is to not to let you continue as you.
04:42What is it that you find pleasurable?
04:44You find only that pleasurable, which is an extension, a continuation of your ways, of
04:50your ego.
04:52So if you really like a teacher and you say, wow, nice one, I want to go to him, it only
04:58proves that he is some kind of a plum cake for you, pleases your senses.
05:04You like going to a shopping mall, you also like going to satsangs, you are the same.
05:10The liking too is coming from the same center.
05:27I never lost it.
05:28How did you lose it?
05:29First of all, nobody has ever lost it.
05:33You explain to me how you lost it.
05:37How did you lose it?
05:45How did you lose it?
05:48Life never allows you to lose the truth.
05:51I'm again and again saying, you cannot afford to lose the truth.
05:56You try and you had a tight slap.
05:59Now how can you lose the truth?
06:02So tell me how did you lose the truth?
06:06You forget and you are beaten black and blue.
06:09Look at your wounds.
06:10Look at how life is beating you.
06:12Look at the scars on the psyche.
06:14Look at all the hurt, the suppression, the repression in the mind.
06:18Does somebody have to remind you that your hand is carrying a wound, the wound is full
06:30of pus, hurts, does somebody have to come to remind you that you are hurt?
06:38Yes.
06:39Explain to you why is this hurt?
06:42Come on.
06:43Why is that hurt does not matter.
06:45First of all, the acknowledgement that there is hurt.
06:50Does somebody have to come to tell you that you are hurt?
06:53It is paining and aching and it is killing you.
06:56Do you need somebody else to come and tell you CCC you are bleeding?
07:01CCC it's stolen.
07:02Does that happen?
07:03Everybody knows that.
07:04Whenever something is a myth, then it can go away without any loss to you.
07:29If the hurt in the arm is a myth, then it should disappear immediately.
07:36Do your wounds answer honestly, do your wounds keep disappearing immediately or do we keep
07:41carrying them as memories, identities?
07:42Oh, don't shrug it away in laughter.
07:43It's an important matter.
07:44If I think that it's real, don't talk in terms of if, do you think they're real or not?
07:45Nothing is real.
07:46Are you saying that now?
07:47Or do you say that in moments when you are angry, frustrated, depressed and violent?
08:03Don't laugh it away.
08:05It is easy to intellectualize stuff here.
08:08I'm talking of real life.
08:13It is very easy to say, you know, if you are the Sachidanand Brahm, then anger does not
08:17matter.
08:18Does anger not matter really when you are fighting and negotiating with the man on the
08:22street?
08:23Does it matter to you or not?
08:26So don't just give hypothetical and ideal answers, answer from your life, answer from the way
08:34you interact with your boss, your wife, your kid, the man on the street, the stranger,
08:40the robber.
08:41Look at that, stare the facts in the face, look at the way the world is, violent, chaotic,
08:50anarchic.
08:51What is the point in talking of great ideals?
08:58You hear this sound, this is what the world is, this celebration for us, noise.
09:05Why talk ifs and buts?
09:08The fact carries no ifs and buts.
09:09The fact is just there, not conditional, not if.
09:14You cannot be told that, you know, if you think of yourself as pure consciousness, then
09:27you will feel peace.
09:29If you think of yourself as pure consciousness, the bugger does not even know that every thought
09:36is a disturbance, every thought is a disturbance, peace is when thoughts are not there, not
09:47needed.
09:48And the remedy that he is suggesting is no if you think of yourself as pure consciousness
09:54and what exactly is that pure consciousness?
09:58Some great pristine image, go on.
10:09I feel everything you say is true and it pleases me.
10:13Does it mean I shouldn't come here tomorrow?
10:16Who?
10:17If?
10:19I feel everything you say is true and it pleases me.
10:24Does it mean I shouldn't come here tomorrow?
10:27I have already said, man should relate to man as a friend, as a lover, not in submission.
10:33Do not come to submit to me.
10:36Meet me as a friend meets a friend.
10:39You are most welcome.
10:42You can dance.
10:44I don't want to sermonize.
10:47This is a very boring activity.
10:50I would rather play with you.
10:57I would rather play with you.
