India - the Mother

May 3, 1969

All the methods—which we may call artificial, Nirvana included—all the methods to get out of it are worthless. Beginning with the fool who kills himself to "put an end" to his life: that's ... of all stupidities, that one is the biggest, it makes his case still worse. From that up to Nirvana (where one imagines one can get out of it), all of it, all of it is worth NOTHING. Those are different stages, but they're worth NOTHING.

... But salvation is PHYSICAL—not at all mental, but PHYSICAL. I mean it's not in escape: it's ... HERE.

... It's not that it's veiled or hidden or anything: it's HERE.... All the rest, including death and everything, really becomes a falsehood, that is to say, something that does not exist.
