What is the deepest meaning of the theory of karma? Karma is a method ofautohypnosis. If you repeat an action continuously you become hypnotized by it; then the karma,the action, becomes the master and you are just a slave. What have you gained through sex? Haveyou gained anything or is it just a repetition? But you have repeated it for so long that now if you stopyou feel you are missing something. If you continue you feel nothing is gained. If nothing is gainedby continuing it, then you are not missing anything by stopping it. Then why do you feel somethingis missing? It is just the old habit – a samskara, a conditioning, a karma. You have repeated it toomany times and you have become hypnotized by it. Now you have to repeat it, it has become anobsession, it is compulsive.A person goes on overeating. He knows it is bad, he suffers because of it, he is ill continuously; butstill, when he sits down to eat he cannot help it. It is compulsive. What is compulsion? Because hehas been doing it so long he has become hypnotized by it. He is drunk.Mulla Nasruddin came home one night very late, it must have been three in the morning. Heknocked; his wife was very angry, but Mulla said, ”Wait! First give me one minute to explain, thenyou can start. I was sitting with a very sick friend.”His wife said, ”A very likely story – but tell me the name of the friend.”Mulla Nasruddin thought and thought and thought, and then he said triumphantly, ”He was so sickhe couldn’t tell me!”The mind, if it is drunk, may find excuses but all those excuses are false, just like this one: ”Thefriend was so sick that he couldn’t tell me.” For sex you will find excuses, for smoking you will find excuses, for your lust for power you will find excuses, but all excuses are lame. The real fact is thatyou are not ready to recognize that it has become compulsive, that you are under an obsession, youare under a hypnosis.This is what a Jesus finds: everyone drunk and fast asleep. You cannot find it because you yourselfare asleep. Unless you are awake you cannot become aware of what is happening all around. Thewhole world is moving in a somnambulism. That’s why there is so much misery, so much violence,so much war. It is unnecessary, but it has to be so because people who are asleep and drunk cannotbe responsible for anything. If somebody came to Jesus to ask what he should do to change, Jesuswould say: You cannot do anything to change unless you become awake. What can you do? Whatcan a man who is fast asleep do to change his dreams? What can he do?<a href="http://files.osho-buddha.webnode.cz/200000352-e9ba7eab4c/The%20Mustard%20Seed%20-%20My%20Most%20Loved%20Gospel%20on%20Jesus.pdf" target="_blank">http://files.osho-buddha.webnode.cz/200000352-e9ba7eab4c/The%20Mustard%20Seed%20-%20My%20Most%20Loved%20Gospel%20on%20Jesus.pdf</a></blockquote>
