And Now, And Here- 第84部分

a　whole　science　exists　around　it。

if　we　could　make　use　of　the　science　of　child…conception；　a　plete　transformation　of　the　human　race　could　be　brought　about。

even　little　things　make　a　difference。

currently；　a　scientist　is　carrying　on　a　small　experiment　which　will　bring　about　a　fundamental　change。

he　has　devised　a　small　belt　which　is　to　be　tied　around　a　pregnant　womans　abdomen。

it　so　happened　that　once　a　woman　had　to　wear　a　belt　for　some　reason　in　her　pregnancy　……　she　was　ill　……　but　it　created　a　strange　effect　on　the　child。

it　was　found　that　the　belt　pressed　against　the　babys　head　and　the　child　was　born　with　a　very　high　iq。

this　was　purely　accidental；　a　particular　center　of　the　childs　brain　was　pressed。

following　this　incident；　the　scientist　has　carried　out　many　more　experiments。

it　may　well　be　that　the　child　was　naturally　endowed　with　such　high　intelligence；　and　the　whole　thing　was　just　a　coincidence。

however；　the　subsequent　experiments　proved　that　if　pressure　is　applied　at　a　particular　place　on　a　pregnant　womans　abdomen；　it　causes　a　remarkable　change　in　the　childs　intelligence。

there　are　many　asanas；　body　postures；　which　are　meant　to　bring　about　the　required　pressure　at　a　particular　point。

there　are　many　breathing　techniques　for　the　same　purpose。

there　are　many　words　which；　when　articulated　properly；　bring　about　a　certain　pressure。

all　of　these　bee　helpful　in　allowing　the　genius；　the　health；　the　capability；　the　potentiality　of　the　child　to　manifest　fully。

up　to　now　man　has　discovered　who　knows　how　many　ways　to　cause　mischief；　but　he　has　not　been　putting　enough　energy　into　discovering　ways　which　can　build；　enrich　the　future　of　mankind。

but　it　is　all　possible。

as　soon　as　a　woman　conceives；　she　begins　to　reflect　the　possibilities　the　child　is　endowed　with。

it　is　in　fact　a　dual　process。

in　pregnancy；　if　the　mother　bees　irritable；　angry；　the　child　will　be　born　with　an　angry　temperament。

similarly；　if　the　soul　of　an　angry　disposition　has　entered　the　womb；　a　woman　who　otherwise　never　became　angry　would　begin　to　show　anger。

this　is　indeed　very　remarkable。

and　in　view　of　this　fact；　experiments　can　be　done　for　treating　the　anger　of　the　conceived　child　right　when　it　is　in　a　seed　form。

there　are　many　souls　which　can　take　birth　but　havent　been　able　to　yet。

its　a　very　strange　situation。

it　is　something　like　a　university　which　may　give　some　people　education　up　to　the　b。

a。

；　but　has　no　additional　provision　or　facility　for　postgraduate　study　or　for　research。

in　that　case；　many　graduates　would　have　to　be　on　the　lookout　for　some　place　where　they　can　work　toward　an　m。

a。

or　do　further　research。

this　world　of　ours　develops　the　being　and　intelligence　of　some　people　only　to　a　certain　point；　and　then　deserts　them。

beyond　that　we　have　no　means　to　help　them　further。

but　a　systematic　provision　can　be　made。

the　right　type　of　possibilities　and　conditions　can　be　created　so　higher　souls　may　find　their　way　into　this　world。

so　let　me　repeat　the　few　basic　points。

the　first　thing　is：　our　whole　attitude　toward　sex　is　sick　and　dangerous。

as　long　as　the　sacredness　of　sex　is　not　recognized　in　this　world；　well　go　on　causing　more　and　more　harm　to　mankind。

so　long　as　one　has　not　bee　meditative　prior　to　entering　sex；　his　sex　will　remain　animal…like：　it　can　never　have　a　human　quality。

and　secondly；　without　a　prolonged　period　of　celibacy　preceding　the　sexual　involvement　the　creation　of　a　powerful　sperm　is　not　possible。

and　without　it　there　is　no　possibility　of　giving　birth　to　a　powerful　soul。

question　3　

you　have　said　once　before　that　if　people　like　krishna；　christ；　buddha；　mahavira　do　not　appear　on　the　earth　in　the　next　fifty　years；　the　whole　of　humanity　may　perish。

you　also　stated；　as　did　vivekananda；　〃i　am　in　search　of　a　hundred　individuals　who　can　show　courage　in　attaining　the　ultimate　heights　of　spirit。

if　that　es　true；　then　it　will　be　possible　to　save　not　only　this　country；　but　the　entire　humanity。

this　is　the　reason　why　in　village　after　village　i　keep　looking　in　the　eyes　of　those　who　can　be　useful。

from　my　side　i　am　ready　totally　to　take　you　inward。

lets　see　if　at　the　time　of　my　death　i　will　have　to　say　as　well　that；　i　was　looking　for　a　hundred　individuals；　but　couldnt　find　them。

if　you　are　ready；　then　e　along！〃　

would　you　kindly　explain　what　you　mean　by　〃i　am　ready〃　and　〃if　you　are　ready〃？　please　explain　what　preparation　is　required　on　our　part；　and　how　do　we　prepare　ourselves？　

let　me　just　explain　to　you　the　meaning　of　your　preparation。

i　have　to　do　my　own　preparation　……　you　have；　of　course；　nothing　to　do　with　it。

in　fact；　i　dont　have　to　do　any　preparation；　i　am　ready。

so　what　is　your　preparation？　there　are　three　things　involved　in　it。

first；　over　the　past　thousands　of　years；　we　have　bee　believers　rather　than　inquirers。

a　believing　mind　has　e　to　exist　instead　of　an　inquiring　mind。

we　immediately　believe；　we　never　go　on　a　search。

and　whatsoever　is　worth　attaining　in　this　world；　cannot　be　attained　without　inquiring；　searching。

even　if　it　were　possible　to　attain　everything　else　without　searching；　ones　own　being　cannot　be　attained　without　a　quest。

so　the　first　thing　is：　one　should　have　a　mind　full　of　questions。

the　first　preparation　is　to　have　a　probing　mind。

you　may　say　you　do　inquire；　you　do　ask　questions。

remember；　however；　your　inquiries　only　look　for　an　answer；　i　dont　consider　them　inquiries。

the　question　should　not　just　look　for　an　answer；　it　should　look　for　an　experience。

anyone　can　give　you　an　answer；　no　one　can　give　you　the　experience。

there　are　people　who　seem　to　be　inquiring；　and　their　inquiry　seems　religious。

ostensibly　they　ask；　〃does　god　exist？　is　there　moksha；　salvation？〃　but　it　appears　they　are　looking　for　answers；　someone　should　provide　them　the　answers　……　thats　all。

if　the　query　is　only　to　find　the　answer；　then　sooner　or　later　the　answer　will　turn　into　a　belief；　because　the　questioner　is　not　ready　to　take　much　trouble。

his　interest　is　simply　that　he　should　meet　someone　he　can　believe　in；　someone　who　can　provide　the　answer　and　satisfy　his　curiosity。

i　have　no　answers　for　anyone。

i　am　not　interested　in　supplying　answers。

if　i　do　speak　a　little　in　terms　of　answering　the　questions；　it　is　only　so　that　the　questioners　dont　altogether　run　away。

i　would　like　them　to　stay　a　little　longer　so　that　i　may　destroy　their　desire　to　find　the　answer；　and　instead　help　grow　the　seed　desiring　the　experience。

people　are　ready　to　have　answers；　no　one　wants　to　know　really。

answers　are　cheap。

you　can　find　them　in　books；　gurus　can　provide　them。

finding　answers　is　an　absolutely　intellectual　thing；　it　has　nothing　to　do　with　living　totally。

a　quest　for　experience　is　needed；　a　probing　for　the　sake　of　experience　is　required。

let　me　tell　you　a　story　as　an　example。

in　tibet　lived　a　mystic　called　milarepa。

there　was　a　custom　in　tibet　that　when　someone　went　to　see　the　master；　he　had　first　to　walk　around　him　three　times；　then　bow　down　to　him　seven　times；　and　then　sit　in　a　corner　reverently　until　the　master　called　and　allowed　him　to　ask。

milarepa　went　straight　to　the　master　and　caught　him　by　the　neck。

he　neither　went　around　him　three　times；　nor　did　he　bow　seven　times　and　wait　his　turn　sitting　quietly　in　the　corner。

he　simply　took　hold　of　the　master　and　said：　

〃tell　me　quickly　what　you　want　to　say　to　me；　because　i　dont　even　know　what　i　want　to　ask。

i　know　this　much：　that　i　dont　know　anything。

if　you　have　anything　to　say；　then　speak！〃　

the　master　said；　〃now　wait　a　minute　and　behave　yourself。

arent　you　aware　of　the　etiquette　for　asking　a　question？　dont　you　know　that　you　are　required　to　go　around　the　master　three　times；　bow　down　to　him　seven　times；　and　then　sit　in　a　corner　till　you　are　called？〃　

milarepa　said；　〃ill　do　all　that　later。

tell　me；　in　the　process　of　going　around　three　times；　and　bowing　down　seven　times；　and　sitting　in　the　corner　respectfully；　if　i　were　to　die；　who　will　be　responsible？　will　you　take　the　responsibility　for　my　death　or　will　i　be　responsible？　if　you　promise　me　i　wont　die　while　doing　all　that；　i　am　willing　to　go　around　and　bow　down　not　only　seven　but　seven　hundred　times。

first　answer　me；　the　formalities　can　be　done　later；　at　leisure。

〃　

the　master　said；　〃sit　down。

you　are　the　kind　of　person　who　is　in　search　of　an　experience；　not　an　answer。

it　is　good　that　you　didnt　circle　around　me；　because　that　business　is　meant　only　for　those　who　can　do　it。

when　someone　does　this　going　around；　i　know　a　wrong　man　has　e；　because　it　shows　he　still　has　time　to　do　it。

〃　

so　the　first　element　i　look　for　in　a　seeker　is　the　element　of　inquiry：　the　quest；　not　for　an　answer；　but　for　the　experience；　a　search　not　to　find　a　philosophy；　but　to　discover　ones　own　being；　a　probing　not　simply　to　know；　but　to　attain；　not　even　just　to　attain；　but　to　be。

so　this　is　the　first　thing。

the　second　thing　is　that　normally；　when　we　set　out　to　achieve　something　we　have　to　lose　something。

nothing　in　this　world　is　attained　without　losing　something　in　return。

but　that　is　not　the　case　in　attaining　truth。

no　matter　how　mu
