Unless you accept death you cannot achieve orgasm, because orgasm means losing all control, orgasm means losing all mind, orgasm means the whole body throbs in ecstasy, every fiber and every cell of It. The whole body celebrates in an unknown bliss and the mind is no more the controller and the manipulator. Man can achieve only a local orgasm...

... can achieve multiple orgasms and a man can achieve only one. A woman can achieve within minutes at least six orgasms - six to sixty. It will be impossible for any man to satisfy a woman, and she will go so mad because she is so natural - it is better to suppress her. Sex has been suppressed as part of death. Only two things have been suppressed in the world, sex and death. And this has been my...

In fact, all natural, beautiful things are also terrible. God is not only beautiful, God is also terrible. He is not only a mystery, he is not only mysterium, he is also tremendum; he is not only life, he is also death. And once you suppress...

... first thing is to get in tune with this emptiness, to allow it, to live it. Don't suppress and don't escape. Feel it, enjoy it - and by and by you will understand the beauty of it. Once you understand the beauty of your loneliness it becomes aloneness. Then it is no more empty, then it is no more nothingness. Then it is a purity - it is so pure that it is formless. Always remember the difference...

The remaining people receive the leftover. And there is no need for such a vast army. And in...

And for the first time within ten years India will be the...

The pill was a birth control measure, but sometimes the woman may forget the pill one day. And people always think it is not going to happen always, but sometimes it happens. But now they have come with a pill for the man. If the woman does not take the pill...

A woman continuously pregnant cannot work, cannot go to the educations institutions, cannot do business. So the first thing is, the woman should be freed, and birth control... Pope is against it because that brings orphans, that brings more Catholics. Mother Teresa is rewarded everywhere, given a Nobel Prize...

.... But why the Indian government? Indian government is giving her prestige to capture the votes of the Christians. Birth control, free pills, should be provided to everyone who comes. One thing, that the population comes down. By the time of two thousand... twenty thousand... there will be more than five billion people. And it is a phenomenon that each year the population doubles. So nobody sees that...

If there is no other choice then why are you calling those poor people phony? They also don't have any other choice. So the first thing: intellectuals...

Secondly, the method that the people he calls phony are teaching is not a right method, but because he himself has never meditated, he does not understand what is right and what is wrong. The method these people are teaching -- and he himself is teaching -- is to control your mind...

.... Meditation has nothing to do with controlling the mind -- because every control is a kind of repression and that which is repressed will take its revenge. Whenever you relax a little, the mind that was in control will immediately come up and start, with vengeance, to stir up everything within you. Meditation is not control, because control creates tension and meditation is based on relaxation. Meditation...

... has a few essential things in it, whatever the method. But those few essentials are necessary in every method. The first is a relaxed state: no fight with the mind, no control of the mind, no concentration. Second, just watching with a relaxed awareness whatever is going on, without any interference ... just watching the mind, silently, without any judgment, any evaluation. These are the three...

In fact, if the mind says something, tell it, 'This we have been doing...

And you cannot try new things -- they are too risky. You have to try the...

If you want to control others, you...

A man who suppresses anger will have to suppress his love. Then...

Love - love is a storm created by nature. And...

What Christianity has been doing is continually issuing orders from the Vatican against birth control, saying it is sin to use birth control methods; it is sin to believe in abortion or to propagate abortion, or to make it legal. Do you think they are interested in the unborn children? They are not interested, they have nothing...

They pursue their interest knowing perfectly well that if abortion is not practiced, if birth control methods are not practiced, then this whole humanity is going to commit a global suicide. And it is not so far away that you cannot see the situation. Within just fifteen years the world population will be such that it will be impossible to survive. Either you will...

That was the proportion, and that was the proportion in India just thirty or forty years ago: out of ten children, only one would survive. That was perfectly okay. Then the population was not too great...

There is, in America, a Christian association called "Underground Evangelism," which works in communist countries to distribute BIBLES freely and to distribute these stupid ideas that abortion is sin and birth control is sin. Somehow Russia is not starving; they are not rich but they are not starving. Please, at least leave them alone. And it is...

... because of birth control that they are not starving. If birth control is prohibited, if abortion is prohibited, Russia will be in the same position as Ethiopia Then Mother Teresa will be very happy. Then underground evangelists will come overground - a great opportunity to convert people to Christianity. Now, from where does this polack pope get the idea that it is sin? - because it is not in the BIBLE...

..., it is not in any old scriptures. Has he got a new message from God? Some amendment to the BIBLE? Should these one hundred and thirty pages be added to the BIBLE as the fifth gospel? What does he want? And who is he to decide that birth control is sin? The pope says once a child is conceived, if abortion happens then, that child dies. That can be under stood, but at what point can the child be...

... understand; but what the pope is suggesting about birth control and abortion is absolutely foolish. You cannot decide what time the child becomes a human being. And if it can be decided, it has to be decided by physiologists, medical people. But what is wrong in birth control? - because then no conception happens. And if he says that too is wrong because you are preventing a conception from happening, then...

Because whether you use birth control methods or not, every time you make love, conception does not happen. All those times that conception does not happen, remember, will be counted as sin. He is asking you why the conception did not happen. It has to happen. His...
