And when the lights came on, he enquired again. I said, "Why...
... should anybody hit you, unless you have done something wrong." He said, "I have been sitting on my suitcases." I said, "We will see, it is still a long journey and the whole night is ahead."

..., "What should be done?" I said, "You do one thing: when he sits down you press him from both sides." They said, "That's a good idea." In the darkness the yogi started shouting, "Two people are pushing me from both sides." And at that very moment I hit him again, and he said, "Just forgive me, I will change compartments." As the light came on again at...
... another station, he asked the people who were sitting by his side, "Why were you pushing me?" They said, "Strange, you seem to be a man of imagination. Why should we push you?" And he said, "Somebody hit me again on the head." I said, "It is your yoga that has led you into hallucinations." He said, "I want to go out of this compartment. I want to change...
..., "It is God. He has decided already, so we simply have to be instrumental; we cannot do anything on our own . " Even a man like Krishna says to Arjuna, "Don't worry. You can kill in the war because God has already decided whom to kill and whom to save. In fact, he has already killed - you are just a means. If you are not going to kill then some-body else will have to do the job. So why...
... escape? Just do your .duty! And your duty is fixed, it is already decided by God." That's the whole argument of Krishna in the SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA.

And the people I am going to kill are my friends, my...

... Hebrew mores and presently gained control of the caravan tariffs formerly collected by the Philistines. And then came a series of atrocities climaxed by the murder of Uriah. All judicial appeals were adjudicated at Jerusalem; no longer could “the elders” mete out justice. No wonder rebellion broke out. Today, Absalom might be called a demagogue; his mother was a Canaanite. There were a half dozen...
... to papers directing that Naboth’s land be confiscated on the charge that he had blasphemed the names of “Elohim and the king.” He and his sons were promptly executed.

... AND THE CURSES In the depositions, and, if you wish, the confessions under torture, of the Trent defendants under indictment for Simonino ’s so-called ritual murder, ample space, at the request of the inquisitors, was given to the preparation of the Seder of Pesach in the respective houses, to the reading of the Haggadah and the particular rites of the festival. The inquisitors inquired about...
... Crusades [...] during the period in which the first accusations of ritual murder were made against the Jews. The custom of opening the door [...] probably also dates back to that period, in which such an act was caused by the fear that behind the door there might be placed the body of some murdered child and that the murder might be blamed on the Jews"). [22] In this regard, see, in particular, G.D...
... arduous. Nobody has lived the way Mahavira has lived -- naked in the winter, in the hot sun, hungry for months, fasting, eating once in a while, barefooted, walking on the burning earth in the hot sun. He did not use shoes because shoes were made only of leather in those days, and to use shoes meant you were indirectly supporting the industry of violence, because the best leather comes when you kill...
... young calves. If you want really perfect leather, then you have to take the leather from the calf while it is alive; you don't kill him first. First you take the leather, and in taking the leather of course he dies. That leather is the most soft and the best. Mahavira was absolutely against in any way supporting anything which is based on violence. This prince became -- and naturally, you can...
... to the cosmic mind. In such a trance she declared that Socrates was the wisest man in the world. And a few people visiting her from Athens were very happy, because Socrates was an Athenian. They reached Socrates -- he was old -- before his death, before his murder, and said, "You should be happy; the oracle of Delphi has declared you the wisest man in the world." Socrates said, "It...
... about you which he may use against you. It is better to keep him at a distance. And everybody is ambitious, everybody wants to be in his place, so although they are looking very friendly, deep down they are all enemies, competitors; they can kill him. He had no friends. And what kind of love is this, that he cannot trust the woman in his room. One of his women remained for many years in love with him...

So Subash went with his umbrella and his hat into the governor's office, and the governor was very much annoyed that an Indian should behave in this way.

... ascetics I have seen in Ladakh ...and they are in many places, in Assam, in Nagaland. The cobra has to bite them on their tongue so the poison immediately reaches to their bloodstream, and you will be immensely amazed that the cobra dies from biting them! Those people have become so full of poison that the poor cobra .... This is the fire test. When a man can kill the cobra and not be killed by the cobra...
... interest. It is like the doctors: they help the patient to be cured, but deep down they want the patient to take as long a time to be cured as possible. They don't want to kill him because that would not help their profession, but they would like him to hang between life and death as long as possible, because the longer he is hanging between life and death, the longer they are earning money. If he is...
... years, I have cured in three days!" The father hit his head with his hand. He said, "You idiot! That woman has been providing money for your education! And you have cured her. She is so rich that she could have been able to provide for your other two brothers who are in college. And she is strong enough; she will not die, but we have to keep her just in the middle." The boy could not...
... layer of ego, not much. I can hit your head right now and break it, but [a chuckle] it will be too easy for you. So go the hard way! [A sannyasin says: I'm taking heroin lately... and feeling negative.] So if you want to feel negative, take it. It is destructive. You have some suicidal tendency deep down.

There is no need to accept right now...
... components of religiousness. Yes to a world full of songs and music and dance and creativity. The no part is very small. The no part is just like demolishing an old building which is dangerous to live in, which can fall at any moment, which is not going to remain for long and it is better to demolish it, otherwise it will kill people. The no part is just the way the sculptor works on the stone, cutting...
... the world. It was not possible to demolish it and to make a new one. But it was also dangerous to let it remain as it was - it was going to kill a few people. And nobody had been going in for years - even the priest was not courageous enough to go in, because who knew at what moment the church would simply collapse? So something had to be done. And the board was in a very great dilemma: something...
.... It seems they have slowed the process, and it is also possible that they may have succeeded. These people - who are so compassionate to the trees that they are ready to die for them - murder human beings. With human beings their relationships are of cruelty, barbarousness. And they are primitive people; a few tribes even sacrifice men to their god, and then they eat the flesh of men. It is very...
... night when the whole palace was asleep, he went into his wife's chamber. But she had covered the child with a blanket, close to her heart. For a moment Buddha thought just to remove the blanket a little and see the face. But then he became afraid: if the wife wakes up then there is going to be trouble. Then the whole house will be awakened, then the old father will freak out. It is better not to see...
... created to exploit humanity; it has no truth in it. It is the greatest lie. It needs to be exposed to every human being, because without its exposure man remains a puppet. If God exists then our life is absolutely meaningless, without any dignity, with no freedom; we are just made out of mud. And if God makes us - he seems to be whimsical - he can kill us any moment. Neither did he ask us whether we...
...? Are you a gramophone record? You may have dreamed the whole night, but just a hit on your head and all dreams will disappear. The room of your house may have been dark for millions of years, but bring a small candle in and all darkness disappears. It does not say, "I am too old.
