... removed your eyesight from the object, remove yourself from the image. Withdraw yourself; become indifferent. Do not look at it inside, just feel that you have gone away from it. Soon the image will also disappear. First the object disappears, then the image disappears. And when the image disappears, Shiva says, THEN. Then you are left alone. In that aloneness one realizes oneself, one comes to the...
... center, one is thrown to the original source. This is a very good meditation - you can do it. Take any object, but let the object remain the same every day so that the same image is created inside and you remove yourself from the same image. Images in the temples were used for this technique.Now images are there, but the technique is lost. You go to a temple - this is the technique to do. Look at the...
... statue of Mahavir or Buddha or Ram or Krishna or any other. Look at the statue, concentrate on it; focus the whole mind so that the statue becomes an image inside. Then close your eyes. Remove your eyes from the statue, then close them. And then remove the image, wipe it out completely. Then you are there in your total aloneness, in your total purity, in your total innocence. Realizing that is freedom...
...; lovingly you can kill and murder, because you are killing for the sake of the person you are killing. You are killing him for himself, for his own sake, to help him. You can change your actions, and this effort to change the actions may be just a device to escape the basic change. The basic change is this - first you must be. You must become more alert, more conscious of your being, only then a presence...
... will become a part of your non-violence - that is more subtle. You will be violently non-v iolent. Your non-violence will have all the madness of violence, and through your compassion you will be cruel. You can even kill through your compassion; people have killed. There are so many religious wars - they are fought in the mood of compassion. You can kill very compassionately, very non-violently...
... aside. The suffering cannot push him off his feet. Nothing can push him - neither suffering nor happiness. You exist like a pendulum: everything pushes you - everything. You cannot even be really happy, because happiness will also kill you. You get so involved in it. I remember, once it happened that a poor schoolmaster - very old, poor, retired - won a lottery. The wife was afraid and she thought...
..., 'This is going to be too much for the old man. Five thousand dollars is too much for him. Even a five dollar note gives him so much happiness, so five thousand dollars may kill him.' She ran to the church, to the nearby church, and went to the priest and told him what had happened. She said, 'The old man is out, but he is just coming back, this is his time to return, so do something. Five thousand...
... dollars - just the news will kill him!' The priest said, 'Don't be afraid. I know the human mind and the way it functions. I know the psychology. I will come.' So the priest came to the house. The moment they arrived the old man also arrived, so the priest started. He said, 'Suppose you won a lottery of five thousand dollars - what would you do?' The old man thought about it, pondered over it, and he...
... said, 'I would give half of the money to the church.' The priest fell down dead. It was too much. Even happiness will kill you, because you get so involved. You cannot remain out of anything. Suffering or happiness, whatsoever comes to your door, you get so involved in it you are just pushed off your feet. You are no more there. Just a breeze comes in the house and you are no more there. What I am...
... margin notes are Dilling's: More filth tied to Jesus They kill Jesus Dilling's assumption that this text refers to Jesus is confirmed by the Sanhedrin General Index entry for "Jesus" (Exhibit 118), where this page -- page 722 of Tractate Sanhedrin, folio 106a -- is listed. Holographically reproduced in her book, this page was taken from the Soncino Press 1936 publication of the Babylonian Talmud. The...
... gives Mordecai carte blanche, whereon Mordecai instructs the governors of the "hundred twenty and seven provinces" from India unto Ethiopia to have the Jews in every city "gather themselves together and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish all the power of the people ... both little ones and women ..." This countermanding decree being published, "...
...;the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day" and (a detail of interest) "many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them". Then, on the appointed day, the Jews "smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them, slaying of their foes "seventy...
... laid down in verses 6 and 10, chapter 7, and verses 13 and 14, chapter 9, of Esther. Whether these anecdotes were fact or fable, they have become The Law of our century. The most joyful festivals of the Jewish year commemorate the ancient legends of destruction and vengeance on which The Law is based: the slaying of "all the firstborn of Egypt", and Mordecai's massacre. Perhaps, then, it is...
... the destruction which accompanied them became an act of fulfilment under The Judaic Law, like the slaying of the Egyptian firstborn, the destruction of Babylon, and Mordecai's pogrom. Rome followed Greece, and when Rome rose Cicero evidently shared the opinion, about the part played by the Jews in the disintegration of Greek civilization, which as Dr. Kastein was to express twenty centuries later...
.... Fraina, thecounder of the American Communist Party, Boston, The Revolutionary Age Publishers, p. 49). 059 "The Jews were now free to indulge in their most fervent fantasies of mass murder of helpless victims. Christians were dragged from their beds, tortured and killed. Some were actually sliced to pieces, bit by bit, while others were branded with hot irons, their eyes poked out to induce unbearable...
... would toss the baby into the air, and another member of the mob would rush forward and catch it on the tip of his bayonet. Pregnant Christian women were chained to trees and their babies cut out of their bodies. There were many places of public execution in Russia during the days of the revolution, one of which was described by the American Rohrbach Commission: 'The whole cement floor of the execution...
..., agreed upon something and took oath not to part, but immediately after that they began to do something quite different from what they themselves had anticipated and then they began to accuse and to slay each other. Fires broke out and famine started." (Crime and Punishment, Epilogue, Translation from the Russian, Raskolinkoff Dostojevsky; The World At The Cross Roads, Boris Brasol, pp. 37-38). 063...
... become a hindrance if understanding is missing. And even sometimes that which was going to be poisonous, with understanding can be changed into something medicinal. All medicines are made of poisons: they don't kill, they help people to remain healthy. In the right hands even poison becomes medicine; and in the wrong hands, even medicine may prove to be a poison. Revolution is the change of the...
..., that is the problem. If there is no religion, then communism seems to be the ultimate revolution. Then there is no higher. But if religion is there, then communism seems to be just so-so, lukewarm - it is not much to brag about. Communism wants to kill religion utterly, destroy religion from the earth. They have done that in Russia, they are doing it in China. They are doing it even in Tibet, which...
... housetops!' Buddha cannot say that. Lao Tzu... not at all. It was even difficult to find where Lao Tzu was, people had to search for him for months together. And once he would come to know that somebody is searching for him, he would escape, he would remove himself from one village to another. He would create all kinds of problems. He would allow only those who REALLY were seekers, who were ready to...
... were so startled that they cried aloud when he suddenly jumped from a sitting position straight up, coming down in the first steps of a wild dance. 'It must have hit his brain first' said one spectator, his nose flattened against the Dome wall. The Innovator stopped his dance abruptly as he turned to see the faces peering out at him. He smiled at them - a broad, toothy smile with no malice in it at...
... some time had departed from there. It was a ruin. The soul had left the body, it was a corpse. AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, SEE YE NOT ALL THESE THINGS? 'You still call this a temple? Don't you see all these things that are happening there?' It is politics, it is no more religion. It is reformist, it is no more rebellious. It does not transform people, it consoles them. It does not hit people awake, it...
... when it is a question of doing something wrong never tells you to postpone. It says, "Do it right now. Who knows about tomorrow? This man has insulted you - hit him back, hit him hard! If a brick is thrown at you, answer with a rock!" Gurdjieff remembers that when his grandfather was dying - he was only nine years old - the grandfather called him. He loved the boy very much and he told the...
... to me? I just had to wipe it. It's so simple. And don't you get agitated, otherwise you are behaving foolishly. For his wrong, you are punishing yourself - this is foolishness!" See the point - of tremendous significance. Buddha says, "HE has done something wrong. Why are YOU punishing yourself, Ananda? I can see you are boiling! If I were not here to prevent you, you would kill this man...
..., remember - you must be doing something wrong. But people are very cunning, their minds are very cunning. If you are in misery the mind says, "Others are doing wrong to you, that's why you are in misery." It is not so - NOBODY can make you miserable. Yes, they can kill you, but nobody can make you miserable. You can kill me but you cannot make me miserable. I will die in the same blissful state...
... you will start trying to prove that it has not happened to her. How can it happen to Maneesha before you? Impossible! Do you know that when Bodhidharma gave his robe to Hui Koju he told him a second thing? 'Escape now. Take this robe and escape as far away as possible otherwise the other disciples will kill you.' There were five hundred disciples. So four hundred and ninety-nine would be against...
... this Hui Koju, who was just a simple poor man. They would kill him, certainly they would kill him. They followed him. The moment they became aware that it had happened to Hui Koju and the robe had been given to him, they followed him. Where had he gone? He had moved past a mountain retreat, running as far away as possible - as the Master had told him to. They got hold of him. The greatest scholar...
... seen all this scholar's ignorance hidden behind the so-called knowledge. He must have trembled. He must have tried to take the robe but could not pick it up from the ground. He fell down at the feet of Hui Koju and he said, 'I am sorry. I am not after the robe. Tell me what he has transferred to you.' For years Hui Koju was pursued and efforts were made to kill him. This has been so always. I am not...
..., it destroys, it recreates. In fact, because it is a blank it kills, because it is empty it kills. It comes out of my emptiness, it is part of my emptiness. If you allow my emptiness to enter you it will kill you and revive you on a totally different plane, in a new dimension. Yes, it will be a cross, a crucifixion - and a resurrection too. It kills only because it is a blank. It is like a blank...
... that if you go on living unsaved you may commit sins and you will suffer in hell. By killing you they are at least taking away all the opportunities of falling into hell. And to be killed by a savior is almost to be saved. That's what Mohammedans have been saying, that if you kill somebody in order to save him, he is saved; God will look after it. He is saved and you are accumulating more virtue in...
... Burhanuddin knows me - we have spoken many times from the same platform - so it will be very difficult for me to act. I can try, there is no harm. At the most we may get caught and we can laugh at the whole thing." He said, "You can laugh, but my position will be very bad. They will kill me because you are a Mohammedan and you are supporting a kaffir, and deceiving one of your great masters."...
...; I said, "I will arrange it - just come out with me. Here it will be difficult: even if you take the poison you are not going to die immediately. Your father is a doctor; the door can be broken down and you can be saved from the poison. It is not such a great thing. I found out from your father that that poison can kill, but it will take at least eighteen to twenty-fours hours for the man to...
... nothing true in it. One thing they discussed was: "Osho has started speaking and He will be speaking every day now. Won't people get bored?" Three priests... of course that is their experience. They don't speak every day for three hours continually. They speak only once a week, and not for three hours; otherwise people would kill them. All the three priests are concerned that my people will...
... question of a fight: people would get angry and would be ready to.... And I enjoyed the scene. Natthu Kaka's shop was just in front of my father's shop so whenever there was something happening I would immediately go there. But I kept my scarf in Natthu Kaka's place itself because sometimes I might be coming by and just see some great thing happening there - somebody ready to hit Natthu Kaka, and him...
