reality
and are clinging to the labels
they are all clinging to the cages
maybe they are golden cages
but the bird, the alive bird, the singing bird
is no more there
the search of sannyas
is for the alive, the singing bird
man has two alternatives
two possible orientations
one is character, the other is consciousness
character is imposed from the outside
it is a political and social strategy
to dominate the person
consciousness is individual, character is social
all societies are against consciousness
and for character
because they can manipulate character
it is within their grasp
they can paint it
according to their own investment
they can cut you into shape
to fit with their mechanism
they can make you obedient through it
they can make you a slave
and that is the desire
of all the establishment
but the real master
never gives you character
he gives you consciousness
consciousness is a discovery of your own being
no discipline is imposed on you
in fact all discipline is disposed of
you are allowed to be yourself, authentically
as god means you to be
one has to discover one's nature
one's spontaneity, one's original face
that is consciousness
the very discovery
makes you more and more conscious
the deeper you go into it
the more conscious you become
a point comes when you are just a flame of light
and in that light whatsoever you do is right
in that light
wrong is impossible and right is inevitable
then a totally different kind of character
comes like a shadow following consciousness
i call that character religious, spiritual
the so-called character in the world
is just political, social
it has no value at all
so go beyond the ordinary character
so that you can find the real character
and the way to find the real
is through consciousness
the master cannot say anything about truth
truth
