... and have not been able to produce any evidence. There is no evidence that Jesus is the only son of God. When God is doubtful, Jesus becomes doubtful. And claiming to be the only begotten son of God is a really egoistic attitude, a megalomania. And that too, two thousand years ago, when there was no birth control! Why is Jesus the only begotten son of God? Has he got birth control? As far as the pill...
... HUSBANDS. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? German people are fortunate that their population is decreasing. The problem is not with decreasing population, the problem is with increasing population. Thirty years ago when I started teaching about birth control and abortion in India I was stoned, attempts on my life were made because I was teaching something immoral, against God. But at that time India's population...
... will be having the privilege. By the end of this century we will be one billion people. So rather than wasting your energy into anything else, teach people for birth control, teach people for pills, teach people for abortion. And prevent all those religious leaders: pope, shankaracharya, Acharya Tulsi, Mother Teresa and their whole clan that if they go on insisting and teaching people against birth...
... control they are committing a crime and they should be behind the bars. "These people also are doing another crime, that they are teaching people to live a celibate life -- which is unnatural. "Nobody can live a celibate life unless he is impotent. And the most amazing thing is that not a single impotent person in the whole history of man has been creative in any dimension -- science, art...
... the idiot Albert Einstein, but you can change Albert Einstein into an idiot -- that possibility exists. So the lowest denominator is going to dominate all Communist societies and my idea is that the highest, which is always unique.... So instead of the idea of equality, I preach the idea of unique individuality. Yes, everybody should get equal opportunity. Somebody wants to become a scientist and...
... -- that we had no government and yet no crime, not a single baby was born in four years. Without forcing people to use birth control methods, just trusting their intelligence was enough. So we have proved if you trust the individual, his intelligence, his integrity, and if you respect him you can expect miracles from him. Secondly, which seems almost an impossibility, communist and anarchists have never...
... improve things, things will go from bad to worse.' And perhaps they are right. Even with the governments the crime is there and it goes on growing. The human mind seems not to change at all. With all the control, all the courts, all the punishments, the human mind seems to be very stubborn. If all these controls are removed the society will fall into a barbarious state. So communists say `somewhere far...
... first step is no government, not even democratic government; and communist's first step is a very strong, almost a military rule over the country so that we can destroy all the old habits which are clinging to human mind. Anarchists, like Bakunin, Tolstoy and communists like Karl Marx and Lenin have been constantly arguing. They think themselves enemies. I went it into detail because what happened in...
... now I am not going to stop speaking and being in direct contact with you. I don't have any power, but I have love, which is far more powerful than any power. I cannot dictate to you - but I need not dictate. Just a gesture of love is enough. Just my fingers pointing to the moon, and your eyes will turn towards the moon without any order, commandment. So don't feel afraid at all, but remember your...
... out of love is beautiful. To rule is ugly, and I want my people to be the most beautiful people about everything. Beauty has many dimensions. I want my people to be beautiful in all dimensions: graceful, humble, humane, loving, trusting, responsible individuals, intelligent, meditative. But not rulers and ruled. So I don't know, because I have never been a ruler and I have never been one who is...
... education is moving. And during these twenty-five years of education, you are no more under the control of your parents, of your society, of your priests. In these twenty-five years you have no responsibility, you are not married. In the past, marriage used to happen too early - seven years, eight years, ten years, was old enough to be married. A ten-year-old boy gets married with a seven-year-old girl...
... little more understanding, a little more clarity, a little more readiness to listen to the new generation, because they are the future. In the past, the past used to rule the future. Now things are otherwise: the future is going to rule over everything. I have been a teacher and I have been attending conferences of professors of the universities. And the whole problem to them was: how to create...
... in you and replaces it with cruelty, violence, a desire to dominate. The whole of society from all sides supports this destruction of your innocence; it is favorable to them. Forcing anything simply means you are forcing against yourself. This creates the schizophrenia, the split personality which is fighting with itself. This is the most ugly and destructive device which has been used by the...
... vested interests for thousands of years. They found a simple clue for how to destroy the individual. The individual is a danger - a danger against exploitation, a danger against slavery, a danger against any kind of enforcement. An individual would die rather than submit. Individuality has a dignity.... But man has been taken away from his individuality by a simple device. Put the individual in...
... fighting with your heart. Your head and your heart are not together, that is the problem. Your head is full of all kinds of nonsense, and that nonsense does not belong to you. It has been given to you by your parents, by your society, by your teachers, by your professors, by your priests, by your politicians. You have a head full of all kinds of bullshit, and this head tries to dominate over the heart...
...; Two idiots are doing things on your behalf. You also wanted to do the same things, but you kept yourself in control. Now it is "having a good time" because somebody else is doing it and your own repressed energies are expressed. It is something to be understood: why should you be interested in two persons behaving barbariously, harming each other? Certainly you also have the same desires...
... only interested in writing about boredom, meaninglessness, anguish, angst. They all come to the conclusion that suicide seems to be the only way out, but nobody gets out of the way. The West has reached, by its own success, to the ultimate failure. And this failure of nerve is very dangerous, because they are in control of enormous destructive power, nuclear weapons. They can destroy the whole planet...
.... This is not a very scientific way of arranging the world. You have to force people to retire, and these are the people who know. And you have to employ people who know nothing. Men's lives should be made longer and birth control should be more strict. A child should be born only when we are ready to allow a Bertrand Russell to leave the world - only a replacement, and unless we can find a better...
... fanatic Christian. I have been talking to these Jaina monks and telling them the story of Mahatma Gandhi, what happened to him. In his ashram no love affair was allowed; even husbands and wives, if they wanted to become inmates of the ashram, had to take the vow of brahmacharya, celibacy. That was a basic rule. So there were husbands and wives but they were both celibate. It was not being followed; they...
... capacity to control it anymore. Then people find rationalizations. Then he started to sleep with a naked woman - but he had a cunning mind, he rationalized it. He said he was just testing whether anywhere in his unconscious the woman still had some attraction. Does he still feel fascinated by a naked young girl? And he was beyond seventy and the girl he was sleeping with was only twenty. This was not...
... and they sat on the balcony. Indira Gandhi asked Golda Meir, "Is it a rule of the synagogue that only prime ministers can sit on the balcony?" - because Golda Meir and Indira Gandhi both were women. Golda Meir did not want to say that in the Jewish tradition the woman is kept separate. But Indira Gandhi thought, "It is because we are both prime ministers, so a special place is being...
... In could be ordered to come to the court. His prime minister advised him, "Don't be foolish. You may be the emperor of the whole of Japan, but there are a few people in the country who are beyond your domination -- or anybody's domination. You cannot order Nan In; you can kill him, but you cannot force him to do anything against his will. And he has not left his monastery for thirty years. If...
... friends to survive? I am absolutely helpless, what can I do? Nobody has any control over death; I am dead." People tried in every way: "You are talking and you are eating and you are sleeping and you are walking -- and still you go on insisting that you are dead?" Watchfulness... your gift to yourself He said, "I know more about myself... I don't need anybody's advice. I feel...
... freedom that perhaps nobody has ever spoken with. I am not concerned whether I am consistent, because that is not the purpose. A man who wants to convince you and manipulate you through his speaking has to be consistent, has to be logical, has to be rational, to overpower your reason. He wants to dominate through words. One of the very famous books of Dale Carnegie is about speaking and influencing...
... exploit you, to keep you under control. It is a psychological bondage, because I don't see any point.... My own experience is that if you can be silent, and if you can transcend mind and your consciousness can grow, it does not matter what you are doing; your actions are not counted at all, only your consciousness. Actions are very small things, but up to now all the religions have been counting your...
... celebration. But this is only half of the statement; the other half I don't agree with. That's where he shows his Christian roots: "And what I assume, you shall assume." That disturbs the whole thing. Again it has come to the same point -- "What I believe you should believe, what I assume you should assume." Then there comes a subtle domination. No, on that point I cannot agree. I would...
