Discourse 18
Personality: The False Disease
Personality: The False Disease
30 December 1987 am in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED MASTER,
AS YOU GLIDE INTO BUDDHA HALL, SLOWLY TURNING
TOWARDS WHERE I SIT WAITING FOR YOUR GAZE TO TOUCH
ME, A STRANGE OVERWHELMING FEAR GRIPS ME. I SAY
TO MYSELF, ”DARSHAN, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF BEING
WITH HIM, WHY THIS FEAR?”
THEN AS YOUR EYES CARESS ME, THE FEAR MELTS
IMMEDIATELY, I MELT AND SOMETHING LOVELY STARTS
DANCING WITHIN ME.
BELOVED MASTER, PLEASE SPEAK A LITTLE ABOUT THIS
CRAZY PARTNERSHIP OF FEAR AND LOVE THAT TAKES ME SO
COMPLETELY BY SURPRISE AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Deva Darshan, your question is much more comprehensive and
complex than you may have realized.
Man is an organic unity. And the moment I say an organic unity, I
mean you are love, you are fear, you are anger ... the whole
panorama, all the colors of the rainbow.
But it is very rarely realized, because our minds try to dissect things,
divide things, arrange things. They are very clever and intelligent in
a way, as far as parts are concerned. The moment the whole arises
in your view, the mind freaks out. It cannot understand that even in
fear, all the rainbows of your being are involved.
To explain a simple fact, in the schools they use a device. They
make a fan with seven wings of all seven different colors. When the
fan is not moving you can see what is red and what is blue...
