...? — R. Johanan and Resh Lakish can answer you: Is there not Monabaz who declares him non-culpable? We rule as Monabaz. What is Monabaz's reason?10  Because it is written, Ye shall have one law for him that doeth unwittingly;11  and in proximity thereto [it is written], And the soul that doeth aught with a high hand:12  hence unwitting is assimilated to wilful transgression:13 ...

...? Lit., 'bring'. Hence even a castrate may not drink this potion. Who is in any case unable to beget children. The reference is to the remedies mentioned in Git. 70a. And made me potent again.

Whose husband died without issue. Who most decide whether to contract with her the levirate marriage or to submit to halizah from her. As one's father's brother's wife. Whence does he derive his ruling in out Mishnah? If the text...

... ideals persons get deflected from the path of self-development; they reach nowhere. I see suicides behind the cover of ideals and there could be nothing but suicides. What shall I do whenever I will try to be like some one else? I will kill my own self; I will suppress myself: I will hate myself. Thus there will be suicide and hypocrisy; because it will be an acting to show what I am not, to look and...

... that day; but because of that old man, I am wiser today and see no reason for surprise. On the contrary, one thought haunts me again and again. If advertisement is so useful in the world why will it not be in heaven? Will not the rule of heaven be the same as those of the world? After all, the heaven is also a creation of the same mind that creates the world. Is not the desire and conception of...

..., on his foot. His foot was burnt and anger sprang up in his eyes. Surely, there was no possibility of that slave living any more. That slave was trembling in fear. But a drowning man catches at a straw. In self-defence, he quoted a saying from the pious scriptures of that country: "Heaven is for him who can control his anger." His master heard it. His eyes were full of anger, but even then...

... a mere curiosity. That was the deepest desire of his life. Therefore, he gave up all. He went into renunciation with full steam. He spent years of his life with one loin-cloth. With fasts and all kinds of suppression of the body, he performed penance. Years went by. But he could not hear the footsteps of peace coming near him. Then he gave up the loin-cloth also. He now started living stark naked...

... was narrow and the darkness of the evening was surrounding on all sides: Frederic asked that old man in anger: "Who are you?" That old man said: "A monarch". Frederic asked in amazement: "Monarch?" and then he cut a joke, "Which country do you rule?" That old man said: "The self". Surely those who rule the self are monarchs. 28. Why is this...

... were fully prepared, although on account of their keeping awake with the books throughout the night their minds were not under control and their feet were falling as if they were intoxicated. Treatises and knowledge also have their own intoxications. But to both of them the third person, who had slept peacefully at night, was definitely looking mad. What else could his carefreeness indicate except...

... conclusions. Therefore, he wanted new areas to rule everyday. The setting sun of the evening should not find the boundaries of his kingdom where the rising sun of the morning had found it. He was dreaming of silver and breathing in gold. For life such dreams and such breaths are very dangerous. because the dreams of silver become chains for the breaths and breaths in gold pour poison in the soul. The stupor...

... priest saw him going by the temple. There was an unprecedented lustre on his face. There was an unprecedented peace in his eyes. Even around his face there was a hallow of light. But he did not even lift his eyes towards the temple. He looked absolutely indifferent and disinterested about it. But the priest could not control himself. He called him and asked: "Hello; is your attempt for self...

... invented to cover and hide them; and then an endless chain of deceptions starts in which cowardice gets on increasing and man becomes a small heap of meekness and cowardice. Then he starts fearing himself also. This fear becomes a hell. In life, it is not proper to take on the cover of deceptions out of fear. What is proper is to search for the root cause of fear. It is not necessary to suppress fear; it...

.... Length: N.A. [A sannyasin asks: How is it possible always to remain centred? There is a tendency to go astray...] Don't create any conflict about going astray and being centred. Float. If you create a conflict, if you become afraid of going astray, then there is more possibility that you will go astray - because whatsoever you try to suppress becomes very significant. Whatsoever you try to deny becomes...

... we explain the following clause: IF HE SAYS,] 'THE GOLD DENAR THAT COMES INTO MY HAND FIRST [SHALL BE SACRED],' AND A SILVER DENAR CAME TO HIS HAND, BETH SHAMMAI DECLARE IT SACRED?14  — Do you submit, then, that a person consecrates with an ill grace?

... son of R. Hanina demurred to this: But this [verse] is speaking of a defiled nazirite?7 In the West8  they laughed at this [objection]. Consider, [they said]. That a defiled nazirite is required to use a razor [in shaving his head] is inferred from a ritually pure nazirite.9  [It stands to reason then that] we can now infer the rule of the ritually pure nazirite from the defiled nazirite...

Ahaba replied: Its purpose is to bring within the scope of the rule an adult gentile who although he is an adult [cannot make even ordinary vows, if he] cannot discriminate.19 Now what need is there of [the phrase,] 'when [a man] shall clearly utter' mentioned in connection with the naziriteship?
