You can be someone, but you cannot be the greatest. There will always be someone else somewhere in the world who is greater. But who is this "someone"? You are the measure. You say that this person is great - but by what, by whom do you measure? By yourself.

This spoon is the measure of the ocean. "This man is great," you say. This is what you say, this is what others say just like you: "This man is great" - and he becomes great because of you!

No. In this world, no one can be the greatest, no matter who they are, because the ocean cannot be measured with spoons. And all of you are teaspoons measuring the ocean. No, It is Immpossible.

So no one will really be the greatest among you. What does Chuang Tzu mean when he says, "The greatest man will be nothing"? This means that it will be immeasurable. You cannot measure him, you cannot label him, you cannot classify him, you cannot say, answer the question, "Who is this?" It simply cannot be measured. It just goes beyond - further, and further, and further ... And you can throw away your teaspoon.

Enough for today.

OWL AND PHOENIX

Hui Zi was the prime minister in Liang.

He thought he had secret information

That Chuang Tzu is jealous of him,

And plots to oust him.

When Chuang Tzu arrived in Liang,

The minister sent servants to seize him,

But though they searched for three days and three nights,

Couldn't find him.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Zi himself came to Hui Zi.

and said:

"A bird lives in the south -

Ageless Phoenix.

Have you heard about it?

"This immortal Phoenix rises into the air in the Southern Ocean

And flies to the Northern Ocean,

Stopping for rest only on plane trees.

He only eats

Rare exquisite bamboo fruit

And he drinks water only from crystal fresh springs.

"One day some owl

Gutting a stinking dead rat,

She saw a Phoenix flying over her.

Raising her head and looking around, she hooted menacingly,

And pressed the rat to her

In confusion and fear.

"Minister,

Why are you so furious

clinging to your ministry

and hooting at me in horror?"

OWL AND PHOENIX

The religious mind is fundamentally unambitious, unpretentious. If there is at least some ambition, at least some ambition, then it is impossible to be religious, because only a person the highest quality can become religious. Ambition implies inferiority, inferior quality. Try to understand this, for this is one of the fundamental laws. Without his understanding you can go to temples, you can go to the Himalayas, you can pray and you can meditate, but it will all be in vain. You will simply be wasting your life if you do not figure out whether the nature of your mind is ambitious or not. Your whole search will be in vain, because ambition, ambition can never lead you to the divine. Only the absence of any ambition can become a door.

Modern psychology also agrees with Chuang Tzu, with Lao Tzu, with the Buddha, with everyone who has known that inferiority gives rise to ambition, gives rise to ambition. Therefore, politicians come from the worst part of humanity. All politicians are sudras, untouchables. It cannot be otherwise, as soon as the mind feels an inferiority complex, it tries to become superior - and confrontation, contradiction is born. When you feel that you are ugly, you try to look beautiful. If you are beautiful, then efforts are useless.

Look at ugly women and you will understand the inner nature of a politician. An ugly woman is always trying to hide her ugliness, always trying to look beautiful. At the very least, the face, the painted face, the outfits, the jewelry - everything is dedicated to the ugly. The ugliness has to be overcome somehow, and you have to create the opposite to hide it, to escape from it. Truly beautiful woman will not worry, she will not even be aware of her beauty. And only unconscious beauty is beautiful. If you become aware, there is ugliness, ugliness.

When you feel inferior, when you compare yourself to others and see that they are superior to you, what will you do? The ego feels hurt - you are inferior. You just can't accept it and you have to deceive yourself and others.

How are you cheating? There are two ways. One is to go crazy. Then you can proclaim that you are Alexander the Great, Hitler, Nixon. Then the deception is easy, because you don't care what others say and think. Look into a lunatic asylum anywhere in the world and you will find all the great personalities of history still living there!

At the time Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was alive, at least a dozen people in India believed they were Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. One day he went to a lunatic asylum to inaugurate a new department. And the authorities of this lunatic asylum made it so that he had to release several patients, because now they have become healthy and normal. The first person was brought to him and introduced, and Nehru also introduced himself to the former madman: "I am Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India."

That madman laughed and replied, "Don't worry. Stay here for three years and you will become as normal as I am. Three years ago, when I first came to this madhouse, I believed that I was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister "Minister of India. But I've been completely cured, so don't worry."

Such cases are not uncommon. Lloyd George was Prime Minister of England. During the war, from six o'clock in the evening, a curfew began, a blackout, and everyone was forbidden to leave their homes. All traffic was stopped, the use of light was forbidden, and everyone had to hide somewhere. Lloyd George, walking one evening, completely forgot about it.

Suddenly a siren wailed. It was six o'clock in the evening, and his house was several miles away. So he knocked on the nearest door and said to the man who opened it: "Let me stay here for the night; otherwise the police will detain me. I am Lloyd George, the Prime Minister."

The one who opened it grabbed it and laughed: "Come in. You've hit the right place. We already have three Lloyd Georges!" It was a crazy house.

Lloyd George tried to convince the man that he was real. But the orderly was relentless: "You all say so, so don't waste time, let's go inside before I move you."

And Lloyd George had to keep quiet all night, otherwise he really could be beaten. How could he convince them? There were already three Lloyd Georges besides him, and they were all trying to prove they were real.

One way is to go crazy - you suddenly declare that you are superior, the highest. Another way is to get into politics. One of two things: either go crazy, or go into politics. With politics, you cannot suddenly proclaim - you have to prove that you are really the prime minister or the president. So it's a long detour. Madness is the road to importance; politics is a long road. But they achieve the same goal.

And if this world is destined to become a mentally healthy, normal world, then these two types of people need to be cured: crazy people and politicians. Both of them are sick. One went a long roundabout way, the other breaks straight. And remember well that a madman is less harmful than a politician, because he only proclaims his superiority, he does not bother to prove it; A politician does what he proves - and proof is always expensive.

What was Hitler trying to prove? That he is the highest, most excellent Aryan. It would be better for the world if he went crazy, took a shortcut; then there would be no second world war.

Politicians are much more dangerous because they are crazy with evidence. They are crazy industrious, active, striving, achieving goals only for the sake of concealing inferiority, second-rateness in themselves. If someone feels inferior, he needs to prove or simply inspire himself with the belief that he is complete. You cannot be religious if you are insane. Not as mad as Saint Francis is mad - that madness comes from ecstasy, that madness comes from inferiority. The madness of Saint Francis or Chuang Tzu comes from the highest, is born from the heart, comes from the true, primary source. And this other madness comes from the ego. The soul is always higher, and the ego is always lower, inferior.
