Communism and Zen Fire, Zen Wind
“Partial revolution is not revolution. Only the total revolution – and total revolution has to arise from your very center. That is my work here. I want every individual to clean the past from their mind completely. All his prejudices, all his thoughts – political, social, religious – everything has to be dropped. Just a clean slate, and you have arrived at the space of no-mind. No-mind is meditation, and no-mind is the revelation, and no-mind is the greatest rebellion that has ever happened.
“In the past, only very few people – a Gautam Buddha here and there. Thousands of years pass, and then comes one person who blossoms into a buddha. But now there is no more time. You cannot postpone until tomorrow. Whatever you want to do has to be done now. For the first time, the present is becoming more and more important. Each day you are coming closer to choosing the alternative: either move toward becoming a buddha or move toward becoming a corpse.
“I don’t think anybody wants to die, particularly when all life is at risk. This third world war cannot happen. We are going to prevent it. Our ways are very different; that’s why I love your expression for me: a “spiritual terrorist.” I don’t have any weapons, I don’t have any nuclear missiles, but I have something greater and something far more effective. It is not to kill; it is to bring life to those living almost as if they are dead. It is bringing awareness to those behaving like somnambulists, walking in their sleep, talking in their sleep, not exactly knowing what they are doing and why they are doing it.
“I want people to be so awake that their whole consciousness goes to the deepest part of their being and also to the highest peak. A vertical growth – just like a tree grows. Its roots go down into the earth, and its branches spread toward the stars. Its blossoms flower into the sky; its nourishment comes from the deepest part of the earth. It is always balanced: the higher the tree goes, the deeper the roots.”
