Anger can come and one can commit murder in an enraged state, and then guilt comes, naturally, because you have done something which you never wanted to do in the first place.
Modern psychology has come to a decisive conclusion that only one part of our mind is conscious, nine parts are unconscious. So just a very small fragment, just a very small part of your being, is conscious, but the major part, nine out of ten fragments are unconscious. It is just like an iceberg: only one-tenth is above the surface of the ocean, nine-tenths is below the surface. How can one-tenth decide for nine-tenths? -- impossible. But meditation helps you to make your conscious slowly bigger and to slowly reduce the unconscious to a point where it totally disappears. Then your whole being becomes conscious, full of light. That is the meaning of the word 'enlightenment': when nothing is dark inside of you, then the master has arisen in you. You are no more a victim of unconscious forces, you are totally in control. And without any enforcement, just by being aware, conscious, has this mastery happened.
This mastery has a beauty, a grace. Of course such a man will help many people to be masters of themselves. That's my purpose here. A sannyasin is not a follower, he is a fellow traveller. A sannyasin is not to imitate me, he has just to understand me, that's all. Nothing else is expected. In that very understanding he will slowly come out of the darkness. And as one comes out of darkness life starts having a meaning, tremendous meaning, significance, splendour.
(The words evolution and revolution are immensely important, Osho tells newly named Veet Vikas -- going beyond evolution.)
Evolution is an unconscious phenomenon. It is a natural phenomenon. The scientists say man was born as a fish in the ocean. Millions of years have passed between the stage of the fish and that of the human being. It took really long to get to the stage of a human being. Man had to pass through almost all kinds of animal stages. The last stage before man was something like the ape, the monkey.
All this has happened unconsciously; no deliberate effort has been there. But since
