Ecstasy is the language that man has completely forgotten. He has been forced to forget it. He has been compelled to forget it. Society is against it. Society has made a tremendous investment in unhappiness. It depends on unhappiness, feeds on unhappiness, survives on unhappiness. Society is not for human beings.

Society uses human beings as means for itself. Society has become more important than humanity. "Culture," "civilization," "the church," have become more significant. They were supposed to be "made for man," but "now they are not for man." They have almost reversed the entire process: Now man exists for them.

Every child is born ecstatic. Ecstasy is natural. It is not something that happens only to great sages. It is something that everyone brings with them into the world. Everyone comes with it. It is the innermost core of life. It is part of being alive.
