BOREDOM

[Guest guest]

BOREDOM IS GETTING STUCK at one point -- repeating, repeating, repeating. Joy is

in exploration -- finding new people, new spaces. It is simple common sense.

 

People are bored in their job because they allowed others to decide their job;

their parents wanted them to be a doctor, so they are a doctor. They never had

any inner urge to be a doctor, and they never listened to their inner voice.

 

It is never too late; they can start listening to their inner voice. And it is

better to drop a job and do the thing they always wanted to do. It may be a loss

in salary; economically it may not be good, but spiritually it is going to take

away the boredom. And what are you going to do with the money, with all the

facilities that the job gives you, if you are utterly bored? It is better to be

a beggar but not bored, than to be an emperor and be bored.

 

These are common-sense insights. The cities are becoming bigger and bigger. The

villages are disappearing, and with the disappearing villages the pure air, the

unpolluted atmosphere -- that is disappearing. People should just see it; they

should start moving towards the villages. They should start doing farming,

gardening; and there are thousands of other things. It just needs a little

courage.

 

The city has no future.

 

Small villages can convert themselves into communes, which would give them a new

structure, which would make people free of children and would make the children

free of parental power. And they could have more fresh food, fresh water, fresh

air.

 

There were all running to the city for one thing -- because it gives money, and

the villages cannot give money. Why have villages been disappearing, and big,

monstrous cities coming up? The reason is that everybody is after money, not

understanding a simple thing, that money cannot buy anything that makes life a

beautiful, blissful pilgrimage. It can buy many things, but they are useless if

the man himself loses his soul.

 

If the cities disappear into villages, much of the pollution will also

disappear. The cities are almost like a canceric growth, that goes on growing

bigger and bigger. The people in power cannot do anything because their power

needs money -- not love, not blissfulness, not joy -- just money.

 

AND YOUR SO-CALLED WISE PEOPLE are nothing but politicians in another garb of

religious heads; their whole interest is also in power. It is a different kind

of power, more subtle, but all the same it is power. They would not like the

cities to disappear. Their power depends on the boredom of man, his loveless

life, his meaningless life, his anguish, because these are the things which

bring people to their feet -- to the churches, to the temples, to the

synagogues. They may say great things, but basically they don't want these

things to disappear. If these things completely disappeared, churches would be

empty and nobody would go to the synagogue -- there is no reason to go...you go

to the physician because you are sick.

 

There is a certain vested interest that the physician has in your sickness. I

have heard of a young man who had just come home from medical college. His

father was not feeling well. He said, "I would like to rest for a few days. And

now you are back fully qualified... I am proud of you, that you topped the

university -- now you take care of the dispensary."

 

After three days the son came and told the father, "You must be proud of me!

That old woman -- the richest in the city, whom you have been treating for

thirty years -- I have treated her in three days. Now she is perfectly okay."

 

The father said "My God! She is the woman who has paid all your fees and all

your expenses at medical college. She is also paying the expenses of your

younger brother in college. You have destroyed half of my business!

 

"You idiot, don't you know that when a poor man comes you should cure him

immediately, because he is going to be an unnecessary harassment. When a rich

man comes, take time -- there is no hurry. If one illness disappears, let

another appear. A really rich man should be a lifelong patient. This is a basic

rule of the profession. You have learned medicine, but you have not learned the

medical profession."

 

The priest has a vested interest in man's misery. And it is really unbelievable,

but it is the truth: the magistrate has a vested interest in criminals, the

advocates have a vested interest in criminals. They are supposed to do justice,

they are supposed to be fair; but basically their profession is based on these

poor people. If everybody is a nice, good gentleman and there is no criminal

anywhere, what are all your magistrates, all your jailers, all your advocates,

and all your legal professionals going to do? They will have to commit suicide

-- their whole profession will be gone.

TRUE Christian leaders "powers" does NOT depend on

people being retained in boredom and misery. You are

WRONG! Power to TRUE Christian leaders comes from God

himself and no other! That power leads people into the

direction of righteousness and holiness.
