... Siddhartha! For days he disappears from the mother; he lives with other sannyasins for days together. He has many friends, grown-up friends; women, men. He comes back to the ashram very late in the night - two o'clock. So busy! Laxmi called him and asked him, "Siddhartha, this is too much - two o'clock! You have to be in by eleven." He said, "Is this a rule only for me or for all? Is this...
... rule applicable to grown-ups too?" Now, this is maturity! He is becoming grown-up! And he said, "A few days I have to stay with others too - they invite me!" Now he is living with many families. He will become aware that his mother is not the only woman in the world; there are many other women. He will become acquainted with many facets of womanhood. His idea of woman will be richer...
... life. Unless you make great efforts to awaken yourself you will remain enclosed in your ideologies; they will dominate you. This is a social strategy to dominate you. Not only have they placed the policeman outside, and the magistrate and the government; inside they have also interfered with your being, inside the society has also trespassed on you. The judge simply shows the trespass of the society...
...; but if you go on doing it more and more, thinking that more will be more helpful, then soon you will find that you are simply exhausted, dead, you cannot move. One has to watch it. There cannot be a fixed rule for everybody because everybody's body has a different quality, different energy, different quantity of energy; one has to watch oneself. If you are sleeping less than necessary then the whole...
... is unique with every individual - you have your own rhythm about everything. I have worked on many people, and this has been my understanding: everyone is so different that no fixed rule can be applied. Only flexible understanding, that's all. And you have to find your own rhythm. About catharsis also, try to find your own rhythm. This should be the criterion: if catharsis is exhausting, then you...
... - three seconds is casual. Beyond that, your eyes are touching the woman - a distant touch, like a remote control. And if you stare in the eyes of the woman more than three seconds, she will feel offended; you have already penetrated her body through her eyes. And it is not allowed by etiquette to look back again and again at the woman. But do you know the meaning of the word 'respect'? It means looking...
... million or more living cells are in a great car race, because only one will be able to reach first. Sometimes two reach at the same time - that's why twins are born; very rarely, three, even more rarely four. The record is nine, but that has happened only once. The rule is that out of these one million living beings - which are all unique; nobody knows their potential, what they could have become if...
... far-fetched. Jokes are simple. They are not created by great philosophers - just ordinary people in ordinary life. They don't know that they are creating a great psychological thing. But Freud was unable to laugh. Not only that, it was an undeclared rule amongst his disciples that when he was present nobody could laugh. I was also a teacher in the university. And every day complaints were coming...
... they live on that plane themselves. Remember it as a ground rule: Wherever you live, you cannot see beyond that. If you live in your body, if you think you are only your body, you can be attracted only to somebody's body. This is the physiological stage of love. But a musician, a painter, a poet, lives on a different plane. He does not think, he feels. And because he lives in his heart, he can feel...
... existed in history. You should be thankful to the British government that they forced India and consolidated her into one country. India has been one country only under British rule. In Gautam Buddha's time there were two thousand independent kingdoms in India!" And I had told my family, "Your freedom will certainly remove the British from power, but remember, the country will start falling...
..., freedom. But these few things are exceptions, and exceptions always prove the rule. Everything else you can purchase with money. Because all the religions have been against life, they were bound to be against money. That is a natural corollary. Life needs money because life needs comforts, life needs good food, life needs good clothes, good houses. Life needs beautiful literature, music, art, poetry...
... continually remember, because you have said one lie to one person, another lie to another person; something else to somebody else. To whom you have said what you have to categorize in your mind and keep. And whenever a question arises about a lie you have to lie again, so it is a series. The lie does not believe in birth control. Truth is celibate, it has no children at all; it is unmarried in fact. Once...
... who is a coward, afraid, ready to submit, surrender, a person who has himself no dignity, no respect for his own being - or you can be fearless. But then you are going to be a rebel, you cannot avoid that. Either you can be a man of faith or you are going to be a rebellious spirit. So those people who don't want you to be rebels - because your being rebellious goes against their interests - go on...
... money to me only if I remain under your control. "So that's perfectly clear: you are using money to force me in a certain direction which I refuse. But," I said, "you will suffer repentance just because you mentioned money. Do you think you can force me by threatening that you are not going to give me any money?" I left the house. For two years he was continually coming, saying...
... money, and my father would not give up control of the land to the other brother to whom it belonged; so there was a legal case. I told my father, "I will be coming to support the eccentric goldsmith." He said, "What! You will be a witness against me?" I said, "Of course. I know that you have paid, but that was your fault. You should have found out to whom the land belonged...
... understood, there remains no need to understand any Koran or Bible. This small statement is like atomic energy - immense energy within a tiny atom! And the saints who gave these atomic statements were not very educated people. It is a strange fact that the educated are often unable to attain to saintliness. Exceptions may be found, but as a rule the learned do not attain to saintliness, because those who...
... your life by fighting it. Thinkers like Darwin could come up with theories like "survival of the fittest" because basically they consider everyone to be separate. Then life is a conflict, a chaos, and violence is its rule. Destroying others is the only way to survive. Your death is my life; my death is your life. In such a way of life, bliss is impossible. Where violence is the law, bliss...
... suppressed is very powerful. Society has labeled it bad because it is powerful. Because society is afraid that if it is not repressed, it is so powerful that it will shatter society to pieces, it will destroy it. The most powerful of all is sex; hence it is sex to which society is most opposed. Society seeks the total suppression of sex, because as soon as one's sexual feelings are repressed, the person...
... bullock will do; the bull is so powerful that his strength will make it impossible to control him. It is difficult to say where he will go. He will take the cart where he wants - into ditches and hedges, into ups and downs, which the cart will never survive. It is not so with the weak, domesticated bullock. Every child is born a bull; and society converts every child into a domesticated ox, because only...
