RELIGION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CHURCHES AND TEMPLES AND RITUALS: religion is born only when somebody pulsates with love.

EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS TO GIVE BIRTH TO A RELIGION -- and unless you have given birth to a religion in you, you are not religious. You cannot join an organization and become religious, remember -- religion is not an organization to belong to. To be religious you have to give birth to religion in your innermost core, in your very core. When religion is born there, only then are you religious. Not by becoming a Christian but by becoming a Christ; not by becoming a Buddhist but by becoming a Buddha, religion is born.

WHEN YOU ARE BORN IN LOVE, RELIGION IS BORN IN YOU -- and then your whole life is a melody, a beautiful song. And then you will be surprised that nothing is wrong: all fits together. Right now, nothing fits together. Right now, you are a mess. Right now, you are an anarchy. Right now, you are just traffic noise -- rushing in all directions, falling apart, disintegrating. Right now, you are nothing but anguish, agony.

ONCE LOVE IS BORN, YOU HAVE A CENTER. Once love is born, you are centered -- AND EVERYTHING FALLS IN TUNE WITH THE CENTER. You become an orchestra, a beautiful harmony. It is hidden in you. You have brought it in the world, it is yet unmanifest.

Kabir says: Manifest it -- LET YOUR LOVE BE MANIFESTED. In that manifestation will be your prayer.

The Divine Melody
Ch #9: The pause between two notes
am in Buddha Hall

MY REBEL, MY NEW MAN, IS ZORBA THE BUDDHA. Mankind has lived believing either in the reality of the soul and the illusoriness of matter, or in the reality of matter and the illusoriness of the soul.

YOU CAN DIVIDE THE HUMANITY OF THE PAST INTO THE SPIRITUALISTS AND THE MATERIALISTS. But nobody has bothered to look at the reality of man. HE IS BOTH TOGETHER. He is neither just a spirituality -- he is not just consciousness -- nor he is just matter. HE IS A TREMENDOUS HARMONY BETWEEN MATTER AND CONSCIOUSNESS.

Or perhaps MATTER AND CONSCIOUSNESS ARE NOT TWO THINGS, but only two aspects of one reality. Matter is the outside of consciousness, and consciousness is the interiority of matter. BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE PHILOSOPHER, sage, or religious mystic in the past WHO HAS DECLARED THIS UNITY. They were all in favor of dividing man, calling one side real and the other side unreal. THIS HAS CREATED an atmosphere of SCHIZOPHRENIA all over the earth.

YOU CANNOT LIVE JUST AS A BODY. That's what Jesus means when he says, "Man cannot live by bread alone" -- but this is only half the truth. You cannot live just as consciousness alone, you cannot live without bread either. YOU HAVE TWO DIMENSIONS OF YOUR BEING, and both the dimensions have to be fulfilled, given equal opportunity for growth. But the past has been either in favor of one and against the other, or in favor of the other and against the first one.

BUT MAN AS A TOTALITY HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED. This has created misery, anguish, and a tremendous darkness -- a night that has lasted for thousands of years, that seems to have no end. BECAUSE IF YOU LISTEN TO THE BODY, YOU CONDEMN YOURSELF; IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THE BODY, YOU SUFFER -- you are hungry, you are poor, you are thirsty. If you listen to consciousness only, your growth will be lopsided: your consciousness will grow but your body will shrink, and the balance will be lost. And in the balance is your health, in the balance is your wholeness, in the balance is your joy, is your song, is your dance.

THE WEST HAS CHOSEN TO LISTEN TO THE BODY, and has become completely DEAF AS FAR AS THE REALITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS IS CONCERNED. The ultimate result is great science, great technology, an affluent society, a richness of things mundane, worldly. And amidst all this abundance, A POOR MAN WITHOUT A SOUL, COMPLETELY LOST -- not knowing who he is, not knowing why he is, feeling almost an accident or a freak of nature.

AND UNLESS CONSCIOUSNESS GROWS WITH THE RICHNESS OF THE MATERIAL WORLD and the body -- matter becomes too heavy and the soul becomes too weak. You become too much burdened by your own inventions, your own discoveries. Rather than creating a beautiful life for you, THEY CREATE A LIFE WHICH IS FELT by all the intelligentsia of the West AS NOT WORTH LIVING.

THE EAST HAS CHOSEN CONSCIOUSNESS AND HAS CONDEMNED MATTER AND EVERYTHING MATERIAL, the body included, as maya, as illusory, as a mirage in a desert which only appears but has no reality in itself. The East has created a Gautam Buddha, a Mahavira, a Patanjali, a Kabir, a Farid, a Raidas -- a long line of people with great consciousness, with great awareness. BUT IT HAS ALSO CREATED MILLIONS OF POOR PEOPLE, hungry, starving, dying like dogs -- with not enough food, no pure water to drink, not enough clothes, not enough shelters.
