... light. These are all just lies. If light exists, hit it with something, it will make a sound. Anything that exists, being hit by something, makes sound. I can hear the sound. Or at least put it in my hands. I can feel whether it is heavy, rough, smooth." Now how to put light into his hands? How to make him taste light? What taste has light? What smell has light? But you cannot say that he is...
... go on hiding it. They do two things to hide it. First, they fight it. They try to crucify it, they try to kill it. I have seen caps and sweaters with my head on them, the head crossed out. They are being sold - must be in millions because they are being produced in Hong Kong, in Taipei. When Hong Kong and Taipei or Korea produces anything, they produce in millions, never less than that. They cannot...
... will look very contradictory to you, but this is how it works. Kill the authentic man, the authentic message, and then distort whatever he has said - comment on it make a great theology out of it so all that he has said is lost in the turmoil; make a religion out of it. Again, new employment for new priests they don't miss that point. Jesus is crucified but the pope is welcomed. In fact they should...
... shop opened. On his death started a new religion, a new employment source for the priesthood; and really it turned out to be a big business. As far as I know, Jews are still hurting; they missed the greatest opportunity. It was their own boy who started the whole firm, and others are reaping the crop! They missed their chance. So first the pseudo-religions will kill the authentic religious person...
... say India is a rare country: even Brihaspati is accepted as an acharya. Whatsoever he says is debated, confuted, argued about, but that does not mean disrespect to the person. Of course he is a founder of a movement, and what he is saying needs to be argued about - but you need not kill him, or crucify him. He is challenging you: "All your religion is bogus; it is just because of the fear of...
... moment you take the electrode off, it unwinds, it goes back; it goes back to the beginning. You put on the electrode: strange, the man starts speaking. It is beyond his control, he cannot stop himself He will say the whole thing, unless you remove the electrode. Once you remove it, he simply closes his mouth, but within a second his mind is back into its old position, ready to repeat it again - a...
...- product; from the combination of those four, five things, redness comes as a by-product. If you remove those five things, you can't expect that the redness will remain behind; no, it will disappear. So when a man dies, everything subsides; there is no soul left. Brihaspati must have been a man of guts. None of his books have survived; perhaps they have been destroyed, burned. All that has survived is...
... himself in the skin and stood there. There was no need to tie him because he was a hunter, but he said, "Be aware, don't let the lion attack me. If he attacks, then even if you kill him I am gone." The other hunter said, "Don't be worried," and he kept his eyes on the lion... because a lion was there, far away, watching the cow. So he was pointing his gun towards the lion - and...
... bishops and ministers and priests; they are all hoping one day to become the pope, that is their only ambition. They all must be praying, "God, call this man back home." And although there is no God, so many prayers cannot go unheard. You will be surprised-without God, how can prayers be heard? There is no need for God. Just so many people desiring your death can create enough energy to kill...
...; He said, "I can distribute my virtue to the whole universe but not to my neighbor. So you have to give me permission to let my joy be distributed to the whole universe except my neighbor. That guy, if I have any chance, I will kill." Buddha said, "How can you distribute to the whole universe if you are excluding your own neighbor? No, this exception cannot be allowed. You will have...
... on, when consciousness comes back and you cool down, you may repent; you may feel this was not right. Who did it? Many murderers in the courts all over the world have appealed on the grounds that they have not committed the murder. No magistrate, no court or jury has listened to them. But I say to you that almost ninety-nine percent of them are telling the thruth - they have not done it. While they...
... who does not exist.... But this prayer itself, this desire, this ambition to become the pope is enough to kill the poor man. So almost within one year, two years, three years, the pope dies. I am not in any way concerned with the pope - he is not in my way. I am going nowhere, so nobody can be in my way. I am simply sitting in my room: there is no possibility of the pope crossing my way. Yes, the...
..., "I was just looking at your boiling! You were just getting ready to kill me once these two days were finished. That's why I giggled, and I think that's why Kabir giggled, because his disciples were also getting hot." Those two days looked like two years because those two people were simply sitting silently; and because of them, just out of respect, all the disciples were sitting silently...
... responsible? Only one thing is missing from the animals: they don't have saints and moralists. Priests - Christian and Hindu and Mohammedan and Jaina - they don't have. They don't have temples, mosques, Bibles and Vedas, that's all. That is the only difference. Still there are a few primitive societies where, down through the ages, murder has never happened, because nobody has poisoned their mind for...
... morality, nobody has trained them to be moral. They are natural people. When you are natural you function harmoniously. Sometimes you become angry, but that is natural - and it is momentary. A person who never becomes angry and goes on controlling his anger is very dangerous. Beware of him; he can kill you. If your husband never becomes angry, report him to the police. A husband who sometimes becomes...
... allow it because, if you allow it, you are afraid maybe with it the anger, the repressed anger, may also be allowed." He said, "What are you saying? I always dream that I have killed my woman. And I always dream that 1 kill her, suffocate her, while making love to her. And I am afraid that if I lose control I will not be able to resist the temptation to suffocate and kill her." Now the...
... appropriate pause, Khrushchev would conclude, "That, comrades, is why I danced too." Just out of fear, Stalin can kill. Stalin is death, and your priests have been death, representatives of death not of God. I represent life. Your priests have been in conspiracy with death and they have crippled life. Your priests talk about God, but it seems they are partners with the devil. A great conspiracy...
... the same; he has not changed at all. I have heard about a closemouthed politician who shot his girl friend and was convicted of murder in the first degree. Just before he was hanged, he was asked, "Have you anything you wish to say?" His answer was, "Not at this time." Just the old habit. Now there is going to be no time anymore, he is going to be hanged, but that was his old...
.... Yes, it is how it happens. Sometimes just a hit from the Master, or sometimes just a look from the Master, and it can happen. And not only that, sometimes it can happen without the Master. It is said about Lao Tzu that he was sitting under a tree when he became enlightened, but he was not doing anything. Buddha was meditating; Lao Tzu was not doing anything, not even meditation. He was just sitting...
... their body to rest. They are afraid because if you give the body rest, then the body demands more. They will not give right food to the body. They will fast because they are afraid, because if you give food to the body, the body creates energy. Energy wants to delight, energy wants to love, energy wants to dance; so don't give food to the body. Fast, starve the body. They slowly kill the body, by and...
... you are rooted. The body is your earth; you are rooted in the body. Your consciousness is like a tree in the body. Your thoughts are like fruits. Your meditations are like flowers. But you are rooted in the body; the body supports it. The body supports everything that you are doing. You love; the body supports. You hate; the body supports. You want to kill somebody; the body supports. You want to...
... protect somebody; the body supports. In compassion, in love, in anger, in hate - in every way - the body supports you. You are rooted in the body; you are nourished by the body. Even when you start realizing who you are, the body supports you. Don't kill the body. Don't be a masochist, don't torture it. It is your friend; it is not your enemy. Listen to its language, decode its language, and by and by...
... of mind. In this world, ninety-nine percent of the people called theists are hidden atheists. There is no strength in their theism, it is spineless, it is impotent. Only a slight hit and their theism will wither away. It has no inner root. One becomes a theist only if one sees the world directly, putting the mind aside. Then it is not the world that is seen, because with the removal of the mind...
.... Thinking was going on - that stopped and the dozing began. You avoided one ditch and fell into the other. The dozing begins only when the flow of thinking breaks. And then came the monk who gave a hit on the head. The flow of thinking had stopped, the dozing had set in, the monk gave a hit on your head - for a moment the dozing was broken. In that single moment a glimpse of meditation happens. And if...
... sleepy, he brings both hands near his chest. Thus the master can easily see that in that person there is arising a danger of falling asleep. This gesture is an invitation for the hit; that, "Dozing is just about to begin, the waves of sleep have just begun to give me their featherlike touch; the waves are overpowering me and I am afraid that now I will be lost in sleep." If thinking does not...
... the seeds. You sow the seeds but you do not water them. Or if you water them, you do not raise a fence to protect the plants from animals. No, one has to move through each step. Detachment means to remove one's mind from all sorts of desires. As the mind is removed from desires, the energy that was being destroyed in running after these desires is saved and it becomes a flame. THE FRUIT OF KNOWLEDGE...
...;tit for tat" is the most fundamental law. If somebody throws a brick at you, reply by throwing a rock at him. If somebody takes one of your eyes, take both the eyes of that man... murder for murder, violence for violence. And Jesus says, "If somebody hits you on one cheek, give him the other cheek too because God is love." But the Old Testament God is not love. God himself declares...
... that they were wrong. He was talking about higher values, higher truths. The whole establishment was shaken up. The Jews were slaves, they were dominated by the Romans. and the Romans and the Jews both conspired to kill Jesus. It was not only the Jews, remember: fifty percent of the crime was committed by the Jews in the case of Jesus' crucifixion and fifty percent was committed by the Romans...
... afraid that if the child is allowed to be just himself he may not be obedient. He may start doing things that are against the ideas of the parents. He may start living a life that does not conform, is not conventional. He may turn out to be a rebel. And it is better to kill that rebellion in the very seed. Hence so much misery in the world, no laughter at all and no love - because if you cannot love...
... the other. And I don't have another cheek, no more, only two. Now the message is finished! Now I am free! Now I will show you what it means to hit somebody! " Once Buddha said to one of his disciples who was asking, "Bhagwan, you always say forgive, but how many times?"... In fact, to ask that question is enough proof that the disciple has not understood. It is not a question of how...
... which, if you talk about them, if you start exhibiting them, the energy that is needed to nourish them starts moving into exhibiting them. The seed needs to be hidden in the soil. It should not be brought out again and again; if you bring it out you will kill it. And these spiritual experiences are like great seeds. The disciple has to learn the art of keeping secrets. This is one of the very...
... that people will be angry, irritated, revengeful, they will become antagonistic to you. Hope for the best and expect the worst. If they don't kill you, be thankful to them. A disciple of Buddha was going to spread his master's word. Buddha asked him, "Where will you be going, in what direction, to what province?" And he said that he was going to a remote corner of Bihar -- it was called...
..., "Now the second question. They will beat you, you are going to be beaten. Then what will happen to you? Then what will you think?" The disciple said, "You know perfectly well. I will be thankful to them, because I will think they are only beating me when they could have killed me." Buddha said, "Now the third question. They can kill you. And if they kill you, what will happen...
... to you? What will you think in your heart?" The disciple said, "You know perfectly well, you are unnecessarily asking me. But because you ask, I have to answer. If they kill me, while I am being killed I will be thankful, because they have given me a beautiful opportunity, the greatest challenge." Can you be thankful even to those who are killing you? The greatest challenge! "I...
... you start laughing. A great laughter arises in you. You start roaring like a lion, a great uproar. Now you have seen the truth, why God had told you not to eat the fruit of a certain tree - He wanted you to eat it. Of course, God cannot be so foolish. If He did not want then He would have kept quiet. He could have removed the tree! - any ordinary gardener can do that. He did not remove the tree, He...
... present - he will kill you. He has to prove himself because the wife is there. When he is alone you can fight; he will not bother - he will say it is okay. When you have a woman with you, you become a daredevil. You have to prove to the woman that you are a hero, a great, courageous man, brave. Then you can be mad, you can do anything. But even then God was suspicious: maybe the woman is not enough. He...
... is the same snake! Now it starts moving towards the peak, towards the mountain. When it starts moving upwards, a great transformation is happening. From Adam you are becoming a Christ. And when the snake has hit the ultimate in you, SAHASRAR, the seventh chakra of your being, the highest peak, the Everest, the Gourishankar, when it has hit that chakra, suddenly you are neither Adam nor Christ - you...
... difficulty. But the negative mind always looks from the negative. That's what I would like to say to you: I have many more Mahakashyaps than Buddha had and the towel was in a difficulty. Worried, it hit the beam - where to descend? on whom? It would have been unjust to choose one and not to choose the other. In the whole history of humanity there has never been such laughter as there is around me. When...
... sorrow, no sadness. Existence had become a celebration and it would remain a celebration to eternity, for ever and forever. That's why I say that it is dangerous that you have come to me.You have taken a risky step. If you are courageous, then be ready for the jump. The whole effort is how to kill you, the whole effort is how to destroy you. Once you are destroyed, the indestructible will come up - it...
... destroyed all hope, because he said, "I am here." The mind was disturbed. They had to kill this man, otherwise they would not have been able to live with the hope of the tomorrow. And not only Jesus, many others have declared since then, "I am here, I am the messiah!" And Jews always deny, because if they don't deny, then how will they be able to hope and how will they be able to...
... whom can it hit? This symbol of the empty boat is really beautiful. People are angry because you are too much there, because you are too heavy there - so solid they cannot pass. And life is intertwined with everybody. If you are too much, then everywhere there will be collision, anger, depression, aggression, violence - the conflict continues. Whenever you feel that someone is angry or someone has...
... is what happened to Socrates, and it had to happen there because the Greek mind is the most rational mind in the world, and a rational mind always tries not to be foolish. Socrates angered everybody. People had to kill him really, because he would ask awkward questions and he would make everybody feel foolish. He put everybody in a corner - because one cannot answer even ordinary questions if...
... because fools don't like it. Don't try to prove to a madman that he is mad, because no madman likes it. He will get angry, arrogant, aggressive. He will kill you if you prove too much. If you come to the point where it can be proved, he will take revenge. Chuang Tzu would have said: It is better to be foolish yourself, then people enjoy you, and then by a very subtle methodology you can help them change...
