HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANY ANIMAL TURNING INTO A POLITICIAN?

Remember! We are fulfilling our egos in every way possible - gross or subtle, direct or indirect.
Down the centuries, in three thousand years, there have been thousand wars. No, no animal is so ignoble, animal have a natural nobility. But man is very cunning.

Does mankind is the most noble? Why is mankind the most noble? If we look at human history, mankind seems to be the most ignoble. Look at the animals; they have not been so violent, so murderous; they have not been so insane. Have you ever seen any animal turning into a politician?...Trying to become the head of the country or a premier? They are not insane, they live naturally, they die naturally, animals in the wild never go mad. Sometimes they go mad when they are forced to live in a zoo.

Yes, they kill, but they kill only when they want to eat. Man kills, for no reason. A man goes to the wild and kills a tiger and he says "This is play. This is game. I was hunting." Have you ever heard of any tiger hunting? They never hunt. When a tiger is hungry, of course he kills, and that's a natural way for him.

When animals are hungry they kill, but they don't kill as game. They don't kill for fun, they are not interested in killing in itself. Of course they are interested in food, nothing is wrong in it; man kills for no reason. Animals don't kill for ideologies, they don't say, "I am a Communist and you are Capitalist. I will kill you." They don't say, "I am a Fascist and you are a Communist, so I will kill you." They don't have any ideologies, and they don't kill because they are Hindus, Mohammedans and Christians.

Man kills for any excuse, for any excuse what so ever. And for what? For abstract doctrines, principles - and nobody is ready to live for those doctrines and everybody is ready to kills others for those same doctrines. But if somebody insults the Quran or Bible? He will say, "It is very difficult." He is not interested in living it, nobody is interested in living it. But if it comes to killing then everybody much interested.

People begin to slaughter one another, and they go on slaughtering for thousand of years. It seems to them at the time that they hate one another; or perhaps that they have to slaughter each other for some exalted purpose; or that they must defend somebody or something and that it is very noble thing to do; or something else of the same kind. They fail to realize to what an extent they are mere pawns in the game. They think they signify something, they think they can decide to this or that...

People are afraid of one another and what are they suffering from? First of all from an extraordinary opinion of themselves.

Dear readers!

The world of politics is basically of the instinctive level. It belongs to the law of the jungle; might is right. And the people who get interested in politics are the most mediocre... Please remember!

Politics needs no other qualification except one: That is, a deep feeling of inferiority. Politics can be reduced almost into a mathematical maxim:

'Politic means will to power'.

Will to power expresses itself in many ways. So you have to understand by 'politics' not only that is known by the name. Wherever somebody is trying a power number; it is politics. It does not matter whether it relates whether to the state, the government, and matter like that...

To me, the word politics is much more comprehensive than is generally understood.
It is simple to be a politician. One not only concerned with government, the state and connected affairs... Any power trip makes you a politician... Such as:
The husband trying to be superior to the wife... It is politics.

The wife trying to be superior to the husband... Because the wife simply cannot accept the idea. Even though for millions of years she has been conditioned. She finds ways to sabotage it.

Every husband is henpecked, there is no other category of husband. But why? Why has this ugly situation arisen?..

Because... There is a male form of politics... There is a female form of politics... Both are trying to be on top of each other in every other area, for example in university.

The lecturer wants to be the reader, the reader wants to be the professor, the professor wants to be the dean, the dean wants to be the vice-chancellor... A constant struggle for power. At least one would think it should not be so in education. But nobody is interested in education... Everybody is interested in power.

In religion it is the same:

Everybody is on a ladder trying to climb higher, and others are pulling him down by the legs. Those who are higher are trying to push him so that he cannot rise up to their level.

And the same is being done to those who are on a lower rung of the ladder, some are pulling on their legs, others are kicking and hitting them to keep them down as low as possible.
The whole ladder, if you see it just as an observer... Is a circus. This is happening all around... Everywhere. So to me, politics means an effort:

To prove yourself superior... But why?
Because you feel, deep down, inferior. And please remember!
The man of instinct is bound to feel inferior... He is inferior. It is not an 'inferiority complex', it is a fact, a reality... He is inferior. Please bear in mind:

To live the life of instinct is to live at the lowest possible level of life.
If you understand the struggle, the fight for being superior, you drop out of the fighting... You simple say, "I am myself, neither superior nor inferior." If you just stand by the side and watch the whole show, you have entered into the second world... The world of intelligence and consciousness.

It is only a question of understanding the whole rotten situation in which everybody is caught. You have just to give a little patient observation to the whole situation:

What is happening? And even if I reach to the highest rung of the ladder, what is the point? You are just hung up in the sky looking like a fool... There is nowhere else to go. Of course, You cannot come down because people will start joking about you: "Where are you going? What happened? Are you defeated? You cannot come down and you cannot go anywhere else because there is no step higher. So you are hung up in the sky pretending that you have arrived, that you have found the goal of life. And you know that you have not found anything."

You have simply been a fool and your whole life is wasted. Now there is no way to go up, and if you go down, then everybody is going to laugh. So...

Anybody who becomes a president of a country... A leader of any associations, institutions... etc:
"His only prayer is that he should die at his post".

Because lower you cannot go... That is insulting... Humiliating and there is no way to go higher. You are stuck only death can release you from the dilemma.

Man is trying... continuously trying in every possible way to be somebody higher, special, superior.. But this is all politics.

An according to me... The intelligent people have something more important to do. The intelligent people cannot waste itself in struggling... With third class, ugly politics, dirty politics. An intelligent person is not going to be distracted by such a desert, which leads nowhere, not even to an oasis.
