... tension and anxiety and turmoil, and the peace will be lost. When God is the doer you simply say, 'I am just a servant. Whatsoever life leads me to do I will do. ' Once you relax your concept of the doer, the ego, there is a quality of peace to whatsoever you do. You can even go to the war front and fight and kill and be killed, and there will remain peace - it will remain undisturbed. And this is true...
... man and touched his feet. The man was puzzled as to what had happened, because just a single moment before he was about to kill him, and then he touched his feet and said, 'You revealed a bigger truth to me than even the Himalayas could reveal. I am the same old man. Now I am not going to the Himalayas. I will live in the marketplace and try to be silent. ' If silence is possible in the marketplace...
... laughed at the whole idea. They cannot even believe how for centuries millions of people have believed in a god who has no feminine energy, who is simply male energy - monotonous, ugly. And that's why the jewish god is a little too cruel - always ready to kill and destroy and throw you into hell fire. It seems there is no compassion - maybe just, but not compassionate. There seems to be no mercy; he...
... such an extreme that his followers cannot even cultivate, because plants have life; if you cultivate then you will have to kill the plants when you reap the crop. Gautam Buddha comes third, who taught people to accept, to be contented wherever and with whatever they have - poor, hungry, starving, enslaved, remain utterly contented. Their teachings were great. This is something to be remembered...
... have to kill him! Wherever you meet him, there is no need even to say hello. First kill him and then you can say hello - just to fulfill the formality. But God is not needed at all. With God above in the sky, man will always remain a slave, and man will always remain unconscious, and man will never strive to reach to the peaks of his potential. With God removed you may feel a little fear - just out...
..., could not believe - he was reading about Zen - how the art of archery can be meditation. There seems to be no relationship. It seems to be perfect that Gautam Buddha sitting in the lotus posture is meditating. But to conceive that an archer or a swordsman, whose effort is to kill the other, can be meditative... Herrigel went to Japan. For three years he was in Japan, and there he found the secret. He...
... Aikido classes; there are a few fools, they have to be satisfied. We are going to have archery.... One of my sannyasins is a master archer. She is French, she is ready to come any day if we want archery. But she is not meditative, she is just technically perfect. I will have to send her to Japan to learn the combination of meditation and archery. But what is the point? We are not going to kill the...
... birds, we are not going to kill each other. And if you want a perfect archer, the simplest thing is... I have always loved the story of a king who was passing through a village. He loved archery; he himself was a master archer. He could not believe that in that small village there lived someone who was certainly a greater archer than himself. He had not been one hundred percent; once in a while the...
... was crucified, and crucifixion became the source of Christianity. It is out of murder, out of violence and blood, that a religion arises. You cannot expect from Christianity anything else. In two thousand years it has killed millions of people. Its very origin was in murder, in crucifixion. They have not bothered about Jesus' teachings. He was saying, "Love your enemy like yourself." Then...
... I cannot understand who these people were killing. If you are going to love your enemy, are you going to kill your lovers? Enemies have to be loved, so who is to be killed - friends? No, the teaching has not been followed; only sermons were given in the churches. But enemies - and innocent enemies, who have done no harm to the Christians.... Their only crime was that they were not Christians, and...
... deep mountains, and the other master was absolutely antagonistic to the methods and to the teachings of Ma Tsu. One disciple of Ma Tsu was having difficult times with the master, because Ma Tsu used to hit, beat ... It was known that once Ma Tsu had thrown a disciple out of the window and jumped on top of him. The disciple had a few fractures and Ma Tsu was sitting on his chest asking, "Got it...
... musical that he went to the master and told him that it is the sound when the wind passes through the pine trees ... The master hit him hard and said, "Don't bring any idiotic answers to me, just go back and meditate." And this went on happening. One time he heard a cuckoo calling in the night ... so sweet, so overwhelming, so touching that he forgot all the beatings and went again. Finally he...
..., "I have been beaten very badly. You beat very considerably, but that man is absolutely mad; he wanted to kill me!" Ma Tsu said, "He is very compassionate." The disciple said, "This is strange. You are enemies, you have been quarreling for years. Everything that is said by one is opposed by the other -- but you both agree as far as killing a poor disciple is concerned!" Ma...
... simple expertise. What spirituality is in it? The Jaina monks don't take a bath, they don't brush their teeth, they don't clean their mouth. Their breath is disgusting; their bodies are so smelly. It is natural, but no Jaina points out to them that it is stupid. On the contrary, they have reasons. First, that when you are using water you will kill many small germs in the water - and they are nonviolent...
...; they cannot kill. Secondly, when you are taking a bath or brushing your teeth, you are decorating your body - and the body is the enemy; you have to torture it as much as possible. The more you torture it, the more spiritual you are. But Jainas will not see it - it is their madness. There are many sects within the Jainas. One sect uses pieces of cloth to cover the nose and the mouth, tied to the ears...
..., 'Don't steal, don't lie, don't kill.' These sermons make sense only if people were killing, if people were stealing, if people were lying." When was this golden age? In the days of Rama?Rama himself killed a sudra, an untouchable, because it was prohibited for the untouchables - the lowest of the low, the poorest of the poor, the most oppressed people on the earth - to read the VEDAS. Reading was...
... HUNDRED SAMADHIS AND THE COUNTLESS MYSTERIOUS TRUTHS ARE PROFOUNDLY KNOWN TO ME NOW IN THE TIP OF ONE HAIR." HE MADE HIS BOWS AND DEPARTED. Baso said nothing but did something. Certainly, from the outside it looks as if he kicked the chest of the inquirer. But that is a photographic description from the outside. What happened inside? Baso had not hit the other inquirers in the chest. But hitting...
... like Baso enters. Baso is very compassionate, otherwise who cares to knock anybody down, to hit them in the chest? These methods are especially Zen methods. No tradition in the world has ever known anything about these secret methods. But things when written lose much. I would like you to experience it. Writing and reading will not help. Learn to wait till infinity. Because you are eternal, there is...
... we live in, because now if you hit somebody, you will find yourself in the police station - however much you try to say, "I am a master." However much you say, "He is my disciple and I am trying to make him awakened." It isn't going to help. You will have to appear in court. I myself have been jailed in six jails and brought into two courts. And I could see: the people you call...
... weather the common topic of conversation. The olden peoples all believed in the power of the shaman as a rain maker, but it was customary to kill him when he failed, unless he could offer a plausible excuse to account for the failure. (988.3) 90:2.7 Again and again did the Caesars banish the astrologers, but they invariably returned because of the popular belief in their powers. They could not be driven...
... responsible for disease and death. (990.1) 90:3.6 Today, in Africa and elsewhere may be found primitive peoples who kill someone every time a nonviolent death occurs. Their medicine men indicate the guilty parties. If a mother dies in childbirth, the child is immediately strangled — a life for a life. (990.2) 90:3.7 3. Magic — the influence of enemies. Much sickness was thought to be caused by bewitchment...
..., the action of the evil eye and the magic pointing bow. At one time it was really dangerous to point a finger at anyone; it is still regarded as ill-mannered to point. In cases of obscure disease and death the ancients would hold a formal inquest, dissect the body, and settle upon some finding as the cause of death; otherwise the death would be laid to witchcraft, thus necessitating the execution of...
..., happiness is spontaneous. Then there is no effort involved. One is simply happy. Then to be is just to be happy; there is no other way. [A sannyasin returning to the West says: I have a few things to finish there and some work. I'm thinking of writing a book about what's happening in mental hospitals - to denounce it... They make automata of them and they kill their soul. If I can try to write something...
.... One feels very confused as to what to do and what not to do. But something has been hit deep down so you continue it. A Little more depth is needed and these things will disappear. They are just the old mind pulling you back from the depth, mm? Good. Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
....' Surely this is obvious?15 It might have been thought that they are simply required to remove their hair, and even smearing it with nasha16 [is valid] and so we are told that this is not so.17 It is [also] stated, 'If any one of them polled without a razor etc. Now we can grant this in the case of a nazirite where there is written, There shall no razor come upon his head,18 and of the...
... shave, and also that he must shave his beard, and not simply that he must remove the hair. Not using the word shave'. By becoming defiled; aliter, by becoming a nazirite at all, in accordance with the opinion of R. Eleazar ha-Kappar, v. supra 19a. He was not responsible for his leprosy, so that the act of purification is purely a religious duty, not an expiation. Tractate List / Glossary / / Bible...
