UNLESS YOU DESTROY THE LIES, YOU CANNOT MAKE PLACE FOR THE TRUTH

Activism against the

'unconsciousness' of the outer world is godliness! Seek the highest truths both within yourself, as well as in the world. We are all instruments of a 'higher source' that must be reinforced for further growth for a more loving and compassionate world. Arhata

It is absolutely unbelievable that TWENTY-FIVE CENTURIES AGO, INSIGHTS OF SUCH TREMENDOUS VALUE were possible to a man.THE CROWD, THE PEOPLE, WILL CONDEMN all the rebels, all the rebellious spirits, as destroyers. BUT TO CREATE, ONE HAS TO DESTROY. Unless you destroy the false, you cannot create the real. Unless you destroy the ugly, you cannot create the beautiful. UNLESS YOU DESTROY THE LIES, YOU CANNOT MAKE PLACE FOR THE TRUTH. The creators have always been called DESTROYERS AND DESPISERS OF GOOD AND EVIL. And who decides what is good and what is evil? WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE IT? In different societies, different things are thought to be good; different things are thought to be evil.I used to move around India. I CAME UP AGAINST MANY STRANGE CONVENTIONS. In Rajasthan, there is a tribe of nomads; these are the forefathers, the original tribe, from where GYPSIES in Europe branched off. The gypsies are from Rajasthan. They still speak Hindi -- of course with few distortions. And they have been called gypsies, because first they reached Egypt and remained in Egypt, and from Egypt they moved to Europe. Because of Egypt they became "gypsies". But now it is well established their language is Rajasthani Hindi, their stories are about Rama and Krishna. Their original home is Rajasthan, and in Rajasthan the nomads still exist.They have a strange idea: WHENEVER A YOUNG MAN IS TO BE MARRIED, HE HAS TO PROVE HOW MANY TIMES HE HAS BEEN JAILED FOR THEFT -- that is a qualification. If a young man has not been a thief and has not been jailed, it is very difficult for him to find a wife. Who is going to give his daughter to this good-for-nothing?In my own home town I had a friend, a Marwadi. They also come from Rajasthan, they are the richest people in India. I used to go to his home. And when the time of his marriage came, I BECAME AWARE OF A STRANGE CONVENTION. A boy in a Marwadi family gets the most beautiful wife according to a certain rule: HOW MANY TIMES HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN BANKRUPT. Because Marwadis are very clever -- so whenever they have enough money and prestige, they simply go bankrupt.Of course, in that same place they cannot stay any longer. They move to other parts of the country. And they have the money, they are not really bankrupt. EACH BANKRUPTCY MEANS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY... So the parents of the daughter enquire, "How many times has your family been bankrupt?" -- THAT IS A CRITERION WHETHER YOU ARE RICH ENOUGH OR NOT.WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS EVIL? As far as conventions in the world are concerned, THEY HAVE ALL GROWN OUT OF THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND OF MAN. The real criterion of good and evil is only one -- and that is possible if you are fully conscious: ONLY THE FULLY AWAKENED AND ENLIGHTENED PERSON KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS BAD. And how does he know it? THE ENLIGHTENED PERSON CANNOT DO ANYTHING BAD; that is just impossible for him. So that which is impossible for the enlightened man to do is bad, and that which he enjoys doing is good. Except that, all other criteria are arbitrary.AND HUMANITY WILL KNOW WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD only when millions of people are awakened. In your deep sleep and unconsciousness, you cannot decide what is good and what is bad; you simply carry the old heritage. But according to Zarathustra, THESE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE DESPISED, who will be hated, who will be called destroyers ARE REALLY THE HARVESTERS AND REJOICERS.OSHOZarathustra: A God That Can Dance
