... plants? They don't belong to spirituality. You will have to reject all medical science, all surgery. You will have to reject all birth control methods. Do you want to kill this whole country, to commit suicide? And what is this heritage you are bragging about? From where does it start? From the RIGVEDA? That is the ancientmost scripture, it can be taken as a milestone. In RIGVEDA, human sacrifice was a...
... just like any commodity! People think - and perhaps Rajiv Gandhi believes in those people - that India was very moral in the past. This is absolutely absurd. All Hindu scriptures, all Buddhist scriptures, all Jaina scriptures, continuously teach people, "Don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't murder people." To whom were these statements addressed? If India had been moral there would not...
... such a complex phenomenon; in a small skull there are millions of nerves. While doing the surgery your hand should not shake even a little, otherwise you will cut thousands of nerves, which will have effects all over the body. You don't know where that will lead - to paralysis, to blindness - because everything is controlled by the brain. If there is a tumor, you have to remove it with such care that...
... letter to Wittgenstein, saying, "You have said it. 'That which cannot be said, should not be said,' - is still a statement about that. You should remove this statement." Unfortunately he was dead. Some of his friends wrote to me, "It is too late; otherwise, he was so sincere he would have crossed out that line. He would have understood immediately that even to say that nothing can be...
... writing the whole world's history; he wasted almost forty years writing it. One day, just behind his house, a murder was committed in broad daylight, before witnesses. He ran and asked the people who had seen it how the person had been shot dead and how the person who killed him escaped. But there were as many versions as there were witnesses. He could not believe his eyes. It happened in front of them...
... are Ram. About whom are you talking?' Said Ramteerth, 'I am not Ram, I am the knower. This body is Ram and those urchins cannot throw stones at me. How can a stone be thrown at consciousness? Can you hit the sky with a stone? Can you touch the sky with a stone?' Consciousness is a vast sky, a space; you cannot hit it. Only body can be hit with a stone because body belongs to matter; matter can hit...
... it. Body belongs to matter. It feels hungry for food. Food can satisfy it, hunger will kill it. Consciousness is not the body. Lack of awareness is when you take your body as yourself. Ninety percent of your lives' miseries are because of this: lack of awareness. You take the body as yourself and then you suffer. You are suffering in a dream. The body is not yours. Soon it will not be yours. Where...
... effective, remember! She may cry and weep... that is far more clever too; that leaves the man absolutely indefensible. If you hit somebody the other can retaliate, react. The other can also hit you, or at least can defend. But if you hit yourself, then the other cannot do anything. The other is simply defenseless, the other is simply defeated. So men only THINK that they are the masters in the house, the...
... much murder, as Joseph Stalin alone did. He had learned the lesson so well that it is suspected that the leader of the revolution, Lenin, was poisoned by Joseph Stalin, slowly slowly, in the name of medicine. He was ill, and in the name of medicine he was poisoned slowly, slowly and killed. If Lenin were there then Joseph Stalin would be number three man, because there was another man, Leon Trotsky...
..., who was number two. So the first thing was how to destroy Lenin - he killed Lenin - and then the second thing was how to kill Trotsky - he killed Trotsky. Then he was in power, and once he was in power he started killing everybody. All the members of the Politburo, of the highest commanding communist leaders, were killed by Stalin, by and by. Because they all knew the strategies, they had to be...
..., because mind belongs to the collective. There are certain moments when you can see and watch your own Genghis Khan, your own Hitler. There are certain moments when you can see that you would like to murder and kill and destroy the whole world. You have to be very courageous to pass through the periphery, to be a witness. And if you can enter this periphery, this society, the history, then at the center...
... free. This man will be a freedom here in your world of slavery. Would you like not to be exploited? Yes, you will say, you would like not to be exploited. Would you like not to be made a prisoner? Yes, you would like not to be made a prisoner. But would you like the other thing also: not to make a prisoner of anybody else? not to dominate, not to oppress and exploit? not to kill the spirit, not to...
... twenty-five years more." If you are sentenced for twenty-five years you are a great criminal. But just fifteen? -- you are just a beginner, amateur. Even criminals brag about how much they can do, how much they have done. If they commit one murder, they claim seven. And saints also do the same. Then what is the difference? In India, saints publish how many days they fasted this year. One man came...
... as he feels about untruth. Be authentic! If you feel like hitting the child, hit him, but don't be untrue. And when you feel repentance, ask forgiveness also, and be true in that. A husband who has never said anything in anger to his wife will not be able to love, because everything remains false, on the surface. If you cannot bring deep anger, how can you bring deep love? And if you are so much...
... was sitting by his side on the ground, and he laughed. The king said, "Why are you laughing? What he is saying is true. I know this man, I know his archery. Even with closed eyes he never misses his target; with closed eyes he can kill a flying bird. There is nobody who is in any way comparable to him." The old man said, "You are too young. I know a man before whom this man is just an...
... way to the place where he could be found, the cave where he lived. The archer went miles into the mountains, finally found the cave and laughed, because there was the old man sitting, not even with a bow in the cave anywhere, no arrows -- what kind of master archer is he? And he was so old, maybe ninety, ninety-five or more. He could not hit the target, his hands would tremble; he was so old! But...
... -- just looking at a bird was enough to kill it. Just those two rays going from the eyes were enough, because his inner being was so solidly immobile that those two rays became like arrows. He said, "Now I understand the meaning of the old saying: The musician breaks down his musical instruments when he really becomes a master. Then what is the use of those instruments? because they are still part...
... difficult part is the diagnosis: how exactly to know what the problem is. This is my observation, that the mind has become so cunning in hiding, that when there is a problem, it never allows the actual problem to come to you; it changes the problem. If you want to kill your father, the mind dreams of killing your uncle, not your father. The uncle looks like the father, is a little fatherly, and yet he is...
... is part of it - be alert. Use that negative energy also in a positive way. You can go into a garden and dig a hole or you can chop wood, or clean the floor. Gurdjieff used to say to his disciples that if they are feeling angry, to chew their food as much as they can. That is violence, anger. Kill the food... destroy it completely. That is what chewing is - destroying. Energy cannot be just positive...
..., because joy comes out of intimacy. He is just a hit and run affair. So you misunderstood me. But I know that's how things are here. I say something and you people misunderstand and start doing your own thing. But that's how you will learn - there is no other way. I have to go on taking risks and saying things, knowing well that something is going to go wrong, but that's the way you will learn. When I...
.... But for the first time the whole family has died - and in advance! No, I cannot deceive you. You are a very simple person." I said, "I am not a simple person. I am just enjoying. Ten rupees are not much of a problem... to kill your whole family. If you have some relatives...." He said, "You want to kill my relatives too?" I said, "Anybody! Relatives, neighbors - I will...
... people said, "My God, we have been cheated! This Avirbhava as high priestess and Kaveesha, the channel... these people were cheating us!" They were not cheating you. They are simple people, very simple. You know Avirbhava; every day she screams - not that I am going to hit her or anything. I do nothing to her; I just make the gesture - that's enough. Rather than giving me trouble, she herself...
... deep-rooted disrespect for life and existence. My approach is that of reverence for life. The rebel will be ready to die, but he will not be ready to kill. It is the pride of man to die for a cause; it is animalistic to kill someone, however great the cause may be. By killing, you have spoiled it completely. And looking practically, the rebel is an individual against the whole world; even if he...
... entity. And no spirituality can accept violence as a means to attain the end. Violence is simply out of the question as far as my rebellion, my rebel, is concerned. He cannot destroy, we have destroyed enough. He cannot kill, we have killed enough. It is time to stop this whole idiotic way of life. We have to come out of this darkness into the light. Even if it costs you your life it is perfectly good...
.... She could manage because she was a queen, although her own family tried to kill her because she was dancing on the streets, singing songs. The family could not tolerate it. Particularly in India, and in Rajasthan, the woman is very much repressed. And a woman of the beauty of Meera, dancing in the streets, singing songs of joy... There was a temple in Vrindavan, where Krishna had resided. In his...
... individuality are respected, the world will be filled with more love, more flowers, with more fragrance. What has man been doing down the ages except fighting? And what has man's genius been doing except creating more and more dangerous, destructive weapons? They are not satisfied with the nuclear weapons which exist today; they are enough to kill the whole earth seven times. I don't understand: what is the...
... point, now, of piling up more and more nuclear weapons? There is only one incidence - Jesus - of someone who resurrected and may have needed a second killing. But ordinarily people die only once. And the fact is, Jesus was not resurrected; he never died on the cross. He was taken off the cross before he could have died. The Jewish cross is such that it takes forty-eight hours to kill a person, because...
... those poor people choose to be dead rather than be red? We will change the whole situation. The whole world is ours - Oregon included. They are simple human beings reacting in simple human ways. There was no need to create what Sheela did. It is past history and we have to erase it. Just the other day I came to know that Sheela, and the whole gang that has escaped from here, were trying to kill three...
... murder somebody and you will not feel that you are doing anything bad. No, whatever you call the tree, this God will not change me. You can call the tree anything. It is just an idiotic story, because there is no forbidden fruit. It is supposed to be the apple - it was an apple tree. And just because it was an apple tree, I used to eat as many apples in the day as possible so that I would not remain...
... ignorant. But I found that apples have no quality, no chemicals to make you more alert, more aware. What fruit can make you more aware, more discriminating, more knowing what is good and what is bad? So you can play and change the name of the tree, but whatever name you put on it, I will hit on it without any difficulty. It does not matter. To me, what really matters is that God has not punished man for...
