The document discusses ecstasy and how it is the natural state of being for humans and children. However, society forces people to forget their ecstatic nature and conditions them to be miserable instead. It argues that society depends on human misery to maintain control and structure. Ecstatic people cannot be controlled and are a threat to society's rigid social structures. The document calls ecstatic people "rebels" rather than revolutionaries, as they do not want to replace one social structure with another but rather want to live freely as individuals.

ECSTASY IS A LANGUAGE.
The only language that you
Taoshobuddha are born with is indeed ecstasy. However the saddest part is that man has completely forgotten. Not that he TAOSHOBUDDHA
The word Taoshobuddha comes from three words, ‘tao,’ ‘sho,’
and ‘Buddha’. The word Tao was coined by the Chinese master, Lau Tzu. It means that which is and cannot be put into words. It is unknown and unknowable. It can only be experienced and not expressed in words. Its magnanimity cannot be condensed into finiteness. The word Sho implies, that which is vast like the sky and deep like an ocean and carries within its womb a treasure as ‘Bliss’. It also means one on whom the existence showers its blessings. And lastly the word Buddha implies the Enlightened One; one who has arrived home and whose consciousness that is not clouded by thoughts, emotions, and sentiments together or individual! .
Thus, Taoshobuddha implies one who is existential, on whom
the existence showers its blessings and one who has arrived home. The Enlightened One! ECSTASY IS A LANGUAGE. The only language that you are born with is indeed ecstasy. However the saddest part is that man has completely forgotten. Not that he has forgotten on his own accord instead he has been forced or compelled to forget it. The society and the civilization is against ecstasy. The society does not want you to be ecstatic. Society and civilization rejoices when man is miserable. And there is a reason for this.
The society has a tremendous investment in misery.
Society depends on misery. It feeds on misery, and survives on misery. The society is not for human beings. The society is using human beings as a means for itself. The society has become more important than humanity. The culture, the civilization, the church, they all have become more important. They were meant to be for man, but now they are not for man. They have almost reversed the whole process; now man exists for them.
Remember society as such does not exist. I have not seen
anywhere society. If you have seen please do let me know? Society is a word that exists in dictionary and that too dictionary of sociology. Society or family is not the unit of any country as has been propagated. All the religious preceptors go on supporting family and society at the cost of man. You never come across society and the family. The unit is man. Man can be transformed not the family or society. Man is changeable. It is the change in man that can really bring about change in family values. Man can be ecstatic if he is freed from the clutches of the organized religions and society. And only an ecstatic person is spiritual.
Every child is born ecstatic. Ecstasy is natural and
spontaneous with the child. It is not something that happens only to great sages. It is something that everybody brings with him into the world. Everybody comes with it. Ecstasy is life’s innermost core. It is part of being alive. Life is ecstasy. Every child brings it into the world, but then the society jumps on the child, starts destroying the possibility of ecstasy. In the process society starts making the child miserable, by conditioning the child.
The society is neurotic, and it cannot allow ecstatic
people to be here. They are dangerous for it. Try to understand the mechanism; then things will be easier.
You cannot control an ecstatic man. It is impossible. You
can only control a miserable man. An ecstatic man is bound to be free. Ecstasy is freedom. He cannot be reduced to being a slave. You cannot destroy him so easily. You cannot persuade him to live in a prison. He would like to dance under the stars and he would like to walk with the wind and he would like to talk with the sun and the moon. He will need the vast, the infinite, the huge, and the enormous. He cannot be seduced into living in a dark cell. You cannot make a slave out of him. He will live his own life and he will do his thing. This is very difficult for the society. If there are many ecstatic people, the society will feel it is falling apart, its structure will not hold anymore. Those ecstatic people will be the rebels. Remember, I do no call an ecstatic person ‘revolutionary’; I call him a ‘rebel.’ A revolutionary is one who wants to change the society, but he wants to replace it with another society. A rebel is one who wants to live as an individual and would like there to exist no rigid social structure in the world. A rebel is one who does not want to replace this society with another society instead all the societies have proved the same. The capitalist and the communist and the fascist and the socialist, they are all cousins. It does not make much difference. The society is society. All the churches, the Hindu, the Christian, and the Mohammedan have proved the same.
Once a structure becomes powerful, it does not want
anybody to be ecstatic, because ecstasy is against structure. Listen to it and meditate over it. Ecstasy is against structure Ecstasy is rebellious. It is not revolutionary.
A revolutionary is a political man. A religious man is a
rebel. A revolutionary wants another structure, of his own desire, of his own utopia, but a structure all the same. He wants to be in power. He wants to be the oppressor and not the oppressed. He wants to be the exploiter and not the exploited. He wants to rule and not be ruled. A rebel is not the one who wants to be ruled or wants to rule. A rebel is one who wants no rule in the world. A rebel is anarchic. A rebel is one who trusts nature, not man- made structures. He trusts if nature is left alone to function, everything will be beautiful. Ecstasy is the outcome of inner harmony and oneness! Ecstasy is the quality of the being. Ecstasy is the shadow of Truth! Ecstasy changes the gestalt! Cherish the moments of ecstasy! Out of these one day explodes ENLIGHTENMENT!
