TO BE HAPPY GREAT INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDEDTO BE UNHAPPY NO INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED. EVRY BODY IS CAPABLE OF BEING UNHAPPY BUT HAPPYNESS IS VERY, VERY RARE. GREAT TALENT IS NEEDED. NOT ONLY INTELLECT, INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED. ONLY RARELY DOES A BUDDHA, A KRISHNA, BECOME HAPPY. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE HAPPY.SO LET US TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT UNHAPPINESS IS. UNHAPPINESS IS THE INCAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND LIFE, THE INCAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND ONESELF, THE INCAPACITY TO CREATE A HARMONY BETWEEN YOU AND EXISTANCE. UNHAPPINESS IS A DISCORD BETWEEN YOU AND REALITY; SOMETHING IS IN CONFLICT BETWEEN YOU AND EXISTANCE. HAPPINESS IS WHEN NOTHING IS IN CONFLICT---- WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER, AND YOU ARE ALSO TOGETHER WITH EXISTENCE. WHEN THERE IS A HARMONY, WHEN EVERYTHING IS FLOWING WITHOUT ANY CONFLICT,SMOOTH, RELEXED, THEN YOU ARE HAPPY. HAPPINESS IS POSSIBLE ONLY WITH GREAT UNDERSTANDING, AN UNDERSTANDING LIKE THE PEAKS OF THE HIMALAYAS. LESS THAN THAT WON’T DO.ANYBODY IS CAPABLE OF BEING UNHAPPY ANY MOMENT,THAT`S HOW WHOLE WORLD IS SO UNHAPPY.TO BE HAPPY YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE SUCH A GREAT UNDERSTANING ABOUT YOU AND ABOUT THE EXISTENCE IN WHICH YOU EXIST,THAT EVERYTHING FALLS IN LINE,IN DEEP ACCORD,IN RHYTHM.AND BETWEEN YOUR ENERGY AND THE ENERGY THAT SURROUNDS YOU,A DANCE HAPPENS AND YOU START MOVING IN STEP WITH LIFE.HAPPINESS IS WHEN YOU DISAPPEAR.UNHAPPINESS IS WHEN YOU ARE TOO MUCH.YOU ARE THE DISCORD YOUR ABSENCE WILL BE THE ACCORD.SOMETIMES YOU HAVE GLIMPSES OF HAPPINESS—WHEN BY SOME ACCIDENT YOU ARE NOT THERE.LOOKING AT NATURE ,OR LOOKING AT THE STARS,OR HOLDING THE HAND OF YOUR BELOVED,OR MAKING LOVE..IN SOME MOMENTS YOU ARE NOT THERE.IF YOU ARE THERE,EVEN THERETHERE WILL BE NO HAPPINESS.IF YOU ARE MAKING LOVE TO YOUR BELOVED AND IT IS REALLY AS YOU EXPRESS IT,A `MAKING` THEN THERE WILL BE NO HAPPINESS.LOVE CANNOT BE MADE.YOU CAN BE IN IT OR NOT IN IT,BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT. THE ENGLISH EXPRESSION IS UGLY.TO` `MAKE LOVE`IS ABSURD.HOW CAN YOU MAKE IT?IF THE MAKER IS THERE, THE DOER IS THERE,THE TECHNICIAN GOES ON EXISTING.AND IF YOU FOLLOW SOME TECHNIQUES FROM MASTERS AND JOHNSON OR SOME VATSYAYANA OR SOME OTHER SOURCE,AND YOU ARE NOT LOST IN IT,HAPPINESS WILL NOT HAPPEN.WHEN YOU ARE LOST,YOU DON`T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING,YOU DON`T KNOW WHAT YOU ARRE DOING,YOU ARE POSSESSED BY THE WHOLE,THE PART DOES NOT EXIST SEPRATE FROM THE WHOLE…THEN THERE IS AN ORGASMIC EXPERIENCE.THAT IS WHAT HAPPINESS IS.FOR HAPPINESS YOU WILL NEED TREMENDOUS INTELLIGENCE.AND I SAY INTELLIGENCES,NOT INTELLECT,KNOWINGLY.INTELLECT YOU CAN GET FROM THE MARKET ,INTELLECT YOU CAN GET FROM THE UNIVERSITY.INTELLECT IS TRANSFERABLE,INTELLECT IS MECHANICAL,INTELLECT IS OF THE BIO-COMPUTER YOU CALL MIND.INTELLIGENCE IS NOT OF THE MIND,INTELLIGENCE IS OF THE NO –MIND—WHAT ZEN PEOPLE CALL NO-MIND.INTELLIGENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INFORMATION,KNOWLEDGE;IT HAS ONLY ONE AND THAT ELEMENT IS OF AWARENESS.IF YOU ARE INTELLIGENT THEN YOUR LIFE WILL BE ONE OF HAPPINESS.WHY IS INTELLIGENT THEN NEEDED? BECAUSE LIFE IN ITSELF IS MEANINGLESS.MEANING IS NOT SOMETHING SITTING THERE AND YOU HAVE JUST TO REACH AND POSSESS IT.MEANING HAS TO BE CREATED.PEOPLE COME TO ME AND THEY ASK,`WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?`AS IF LIFE HAS ANY MEANING .LIFE HAS NO MEANING—THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF LIFE.THAT`S WHY IT IS FREEDOM.YOU ARE FREE TO CREATE YOUR OWN MEANING AND I AM FREE TO CREATE MY MEANING.IF LIFE HAS A MEANING,THEN WE WILL ALL BE JUST SLAVES AND THAT MEANING WILL NOT BE WORTH ANYTHING.LIFE IS FREEDOM.IT DOES NOT IMPOSE ANY MEANING ON YOU;IT SIMPLY GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE YOUR OWN MEANING.THE MEANING HAS TO BE CREATED.IT IS NOT LIKE A THING THAT YOU CAN UNCOVER,YOU WILL HAVE TO BECOME YOUR MEANING,YOU WILL HAVE HAVE TO GIVE A REBIRTH TO YOURSELF.THAT`S WHY I SAY MUCH INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED.ONLY WHEN YOU FEEL MEANING IN ITSELF,YOU HAVE TO BRING MEANING INTO IT.LIFE IS JUST RAW MATERIAL,YOU HAVE TO CREAT YOUR MEANING OUT OF IT. YOU HAVE TO CREAT YOUR GOD.GOD IS NOT THERE WAITING FOR YOU.YOU INNERMOST CORE OF BEING. ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE HAPPY.TO CREATE MEANING, YOU WILL HAVE TO BE A CREATOR. PAINTERS PAINT, CREATE PAINTINGS; POETS WRITE, CREATE POETRY; DANCERS CREATE DANCE… BUT THESE ARE ALL JUST FRAGMENTS. A RELIGIOUS PERSON CREATES HIMSELF; THE RELIGIOUS PERSON IS THE GREATEST ARTIST THERE IS .ALL OTHER ARTISTS ARE JUST FINDING SUBSTITUTES AND ONE DAY OR OTHER THEY WILL BECOME FRUSTRATED. YOU HAVE WRITTEN MANY POEMS, THEN ONE DAY REALISE, ‘WHAT IS THE POINT? WHY GO ON WRITING? YOU HAVE PAINTED , THEN ONE DAY SUDDENLY YOU REALISE, ‘WHAT IS THE POINT? FOR WHOM? FOR WHAT?’ ONE DAY YOU WILL DIE AND ALL WILL BE LEFT AND WILL DISAPPEAR. SO WHAT IS THE POINT?UNLESS YOU FEEL A POINT OF IMMORTALITY IN WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING YOU CANNOT BE HAPPY, AND THAT POINT OF IMMORTALITY WITHIN YOURSELF.GURDJIEFF USED TO SAY, AND VERY RIGHTLY, THAT MAN IS NOT BORN WITH A SOUL. ALL OTHER RELIGIOUS SAY THAT MAN IS BORN WITH A SOUL, BUT GURDJIEFF’S SAYING IS TREMENDOUSLY SIGNIFICANT--- MAN IS NOT BORN WITH A SOUL. AND UNLESS YOU CREATE IT, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY SOUL , YOU WILL EXIST EMPTY AND YOU DIE EMPTY.YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE IT, THAT’S WHY I SAY GREAT INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED.
