>>12406081For what will Buddha go to Vienna? There seems to be no reason. In fact, sooner or later, one day Freud will have to come to a buddha. You will find many psychoanalysts here. They have to come because they are losing all perspective. Listening to people's miseries day in, day out, they are losing all hope. A buddha can give them hope again. A buddha can help them to be ecstatic again. They have lived with agony too much.
Do you know that psychoanalysts commit suicide more than any other profession, almost double? And psychoanalysts go mad more than any other profession, almost double. This should not be so - a psychoanalyst should not commit suicide and should not go mad. But they go mad more and they commit suicide more.
I understand, I have all compassion for them. Their whole life's work is such - agony and agony and agony - seeing people's wounds in the soul and the pus oozing day in, day out, they live in a kind of hell.
I have heard_
A psychoanalyst died. He had a ticket for heaven, but he went to hell. The Devil was surprised; he said, "But you have a ticket for heaven. Why have you come here?"
He said, "I am a psychoanalyst. I have to get accustomed slowly, slowly. Heaven will be too much right now; I will not be able to believe in it. First let me live in hell for a few days, let me get accustomed to better things."
