Discourse 29
Just Be a Little Saner
Just Be a Little Saner
16 January 1988 pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED MASTER,
I AM A TWENTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD GERMAN GUY AND AFTER
DOING A PRIMAL GROUP I KNOW PRETTY WELL THAT I DON’T
WANT TO ACCEPT ANY OTHER FATHER OR MOTHER
THAN ME.
NOW I LIKE YOUR TEACHING, YOUR DESTROYING OF MY OLD
CONDITIONING VERY MUCH BUT WHY SHOULD I CHANGE MY
NAME, BE A SANNYASIN AND ACCEPT A MASTER WHO SAYS
THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY AUTHORITY?
Peter Heidegger, the question you have asked is immensely
interesting. Even if you had not said that you are a German guy,
the question would have revealed it – the question is authentically
German! I am going to analyze it, because that is the only way a
German can understand.
You have done only one Primal group and you have taken
conclusions for your whole life. Do you see the stupidity of it? Do
you see the impatience of coming to conclusions from a small Primal
group – which is just a cathartic group, it is not meditation. It is not
even the beginning of meditation.
It is only preparing the ground, taking out the weeds and the grass
roots before seeds can be sown. Just this small group and you jump
to conclusions, far-reaching, without being aware of what you are
asking. You don’t know even the meaning of the words you are
using....
