... this circus?" In private they would say to me, "You are right, but what can we say about it? You always hit wherever it hurts most. You have a knack," they would say to me, "of hitting people at their weakest point. Now this is clear, four months.... I know, but I cannot say it in public, because how am I to survive?" He depends on these people. These people are businessmen...
... subjective world. Remember, the outer science can help immensely to reduce your suffering and misery by almost ninety percent. And once you remove ninety percent of your suffering and miseries - which are physical, biological, science can very easily remove them - then the remaining ten percent of misery will be for the first time clear to you. Right now it is lost in the mess of this ninety percent of...
... all these things can be tackled by science. Remove the priest completely. He has no function for the future. He has already done enough mischief Focus on science, and then immediately you will see a new dimension arising in you, of which you were not aware. It was there - but a hungry man, how can he think whether life has meaning or not? A hungry man cannot think whether the flower is beautiful or...
... the dog - it was Trotsky's dog... such criminal minds! And he sent a hired murderer to kill Trotsky in Mexico. Trotsky was writing Joseph Stalin's biography, which is one of the most profound biographies ever written because he knew Stalin as nobody else knew him - Trotsky was the second topmost man in the revolution. Stalin was nowhere; he was somewhere around eleventh or twelfth. But Trotsky was...
... beautiful conspiracy: Lenin was given daily poison in the name of medicine. The doctor was a hired man of Stalin. The poison was to be given in such small doses that it would kill him over a long period of time. While he remains alive, he remains the leader because the masses still know him. He should not die right now, because if he dies right now then Trotsky will be the man to control the country...
.... It is a big biography, nearabout twelve hundred pages. He was writing the last page when he was killed with a hammer from the back. The hammer was hit on his head many times. His head fell on the book and splashed the blood onto the last page. In a way, that made the book an absolutely authoritative biography of what he had been saying all along about how people had been killed. He was killed on...
... all. The question was how to remove the invaders. He became interested because he was so sensitive a man that he loved the idea of freedom. It had nothing to do with politics; he loved the idea of freedom as a poet. But when freedom came there was a great struggle for who should be the prime minister. There were people like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a real politician, a solid politician who...
... more there. Life is constant movement. The master has to do something. Even if he thinks killing you will help, he will kill you. That's why surrender is needed. Surrender is not easy, because surrender means saying to a master, "From now on, my life and my death are yours." Surrender means "I am ready. If you say, 'Die!' I will die. I will not ask why." If you ask why, there is...
... contribute first; otherwise this is insulting - that a king is present and this man has contributed. The monk said, "You can kill me if it is against the convention, but she has saved my life. And it was such an ecstatic moment for me, I had to give something. I have nothing else, just that blanket, and I cannot wait for you, I am going to the Himalayas. This woman and this man who is playing the...
... sudden moment the boy was transformed. He was no more a child, he became mature. It can happen in an instant; it may not happen in many lives. The imitation has to be cut severely. The finger is just symbolic. The boy has to be hit severely, and the suffering must go to the very root of his being, and it should be so unknown that he cannot make a theory out of it. He cannot think about it, he cannot...
... very deep. In this suffering the pain was severe, and so sudden that the mind stopped revolving and the heart was hit. AS THE BOY RAN OFF HOWLING, GUTEI SHOUTED, "STOP!" This is what I have been saying to you. But first you must be in deep suffering and howling, only then the 'stop' can be meaningful. The boy ran howling in suffering and pain, and Gutei shouted, "Stop!" If the...
... be bloodshed. Either I will kill myself or I will kill the person! What nonsense is this?" But these people believe that by repeating a certain mantra you can attain to spirituality. All that you can attain to is a bored state of mind. You will lose your intelligence, that's an. You will lose your sharpness. And he says, "Bhagwan contains sex." Now he has understood only language and...
... more intelligent you are. There is no question of how to open the sense of humor; you simply remove the barriers. It is already there, it is already the case. You simply remove a few rocks which your parents, your society have put to prevent it. The society teaches you self-control, and sense of humor means relaxation. Just the other day somebody from London, a sannyasin, sent me a cutting of a...
... always mad -- for small things, for nothings really. They said, "This woman has committed sin. She has been in a love affair with a man -- illegal. So what should we do with her? The old scripture says stone her to death." They wanted to kill two birds with one stone -- that woman, and Jesus also. Because if Jesus says, "Yes, the old scripture is right. Kill her," then they were...
..., but with discrimination. Jesus did a great deed of discrimination. He said, "Yes, it is right; the scripture is right. Kill this woman." Then he created the discrimination, "Now, those who are not sinners themselves, they should take the stones in their hands and kill her." This is discrimination. It came out of awareness; it was not a dead judgement. He didn't follow the...
... happened to this man? - because I know, I remember, he used to be a professor in the university." The superintendent said, "He is a very nice fellow. But do you see the picture he is holding? That is the picture of the woman he wanted to get and could not get. So he has gone mad." The psychoanalyst felt very sad. In the next room, another man was trying to hit his head against the wall...
..., and two persons were holding him back. The psychoanalyst asked, "What has happened to him?" The superintendent said, "Nothing happened to him, he got married to the same woman." The one who could not get her still thinks he has missed an opportunity of being in love with a beautiful person. The one who got the opportunity is trying to kill himself - but nobody allows him to kill...
... himself. He has become so much of a nuisance in the house that his family has put him into the madhouse to be taken care of, because with anything he finds, he starts making an effort to kill himself; he is so tortured by the same beautiful woman. It seems that in life whatever looks beautiful to you is only beautiful because it is not yours - the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. It is...
... your questions. I even said, "This question is absolutely wrong, it does not deserve any answer. And if I can find the man who asked it, I will hit him." Later my professor said, "That examination was prepared by me, and I have read your answer. I understand that you are right, the question was stupid." The question was, "What is the difference between Indian philosophy and...
... Western philosophy?" And naturally I said, "Philosophy is not geographical. Philosophy is simply philosophy. What does it have to do with East and West? It is a thinking process, you can do it anywhere. It has nothing to do with place, with geography. Your question is absurd, hence I'm not going to answer it. And if I could meet you, I would hit you." He said, "It is good that that...
.... You deserved one hundred and one percent." I said to him, "Now I can forgive you." I was speaking in Allahabad University. He had never come to listen to any lecturer visiting the university, but he was sitting just in front of me when I entered the hall. Everybody was surprised that Professor Ranade also had come to listen. I hit hard on the education system and on the professors who...
.... Just one hit of Nivedano's drum and you will jump back into your body. That's why it's so safe to tell you to die, because I know you cannot go far away in two minutes. You will be just here, hovering. Just a good drumbeat and you will hurry back, "Everybody is coming back, what am I doing out here? My body is there." Be quick, because somebody else may enter. That is the only problem I...
... ground and sat on his chest. He lifted his spear and was about to plunge it in his chest, when the enemy spat in his face. Omar threw away the spear and stood up. The enemy was amazed. He said, "Omar, after twelve years you finally got the chance to kill me. Why have you missed it?" Omar said, "I was thinking that you are an enemy worthy of me, but by spitting in my face you have shown...
... such pettiness that now there is no question of killing you. The pettiness that you have shown is not the quality of a brave man. I thought that you are equal to me, so for twelve years I continued the war. But when I was going to kill you with the spear, you spat at me - this is not the quality of a brave man. I will commit a sin if I kill you. What will the world say to me if I kill a weak person...
... your head too, good manure. One day looking out of my window I saw two sannyasins working outside - two of Deeksha's handymen, one Italian and one German. They were about to hammer away at a concrete pillar with a sledge hammer and a wrecking bar. The German was holding the wrecking bar and the Italian the sledge hammer. On the first try with the sledge hammer, the Italian missed and hit the German...
... on the head. The German, unaffected, continued to hold the bar, waiting for the next try. The Italian again missed and hit the German on the head once more. Without batting an eye, the German continued to hold the bar. The Italian tried once again and once again missed, hitting the German again on the head. This time the German looked at the Italian with a wary eye and said, "Swami, please be...
... careful. If you hit my fingers you can hurt me!" But if the coin comes up tails, then put your tail between your legs and escape from here as fast as possible! That's exactly the origin of the word "hippie" - "Hippie" comes from "hips": one who cannot encounter a challenge and shows his hips and escapes. So if it is tails, then understand the message - escape like a...
.... If there is not a fight going on that means there is no excitement. Deepak is a very soft person, but Astha drove him to such a point that he hit her so hard that not only are her lips wounded, her head struck the wall and she had a concussion. Now she is going gaga! This is a love affair, but a little bit primitive! So, Toshi, there is nothing to be worried about. Why you should be confused? Love...
... room - then some space is created there. Then you remove more furniture, and more space is created there. When you have removed all the furniture, the whole room becomes space. Really, space is not created by removing the furniture, the space was already there. It is only that the space was occupied by the furniture. When you remove the furniture, no space comes in from outside; the space was there...
..., occupied by furniture. You have removed the furniture, and the space is recovered, reclaimed. Deep down mind is space occupied, filled by thoughts. If you remove some thoughts, space is created - or discovered, or reclaimed. If you go on removing your thoughts, by and by you go on regaining your space. This space is meditation. Slowly it can be done - suddenly also. There is no need to go on for lives...
... together removing the furniture, because there are problems. When you start to remove the furniture, one percent space is created and ninety-nine percent space is occupied. That ninety-nine percent occupied space will not feel good about the unoccupied space; it will try to fill it. So one goes on slowly decreasing thoughts and then again creating new thoughts. In the morning you sit for meditation for...
