... not start existing. But Atta must be waiting for some opportunity to say something aggressive to me, to be in some way violent to me. This is natural, because sannyas means surrender, and when you surrender then more often than not you are repressing your ego. It will find its way from somewhere to assert. It is not just a coincidence that Buddha's own brother, Devadatta, tried many times to kill...
... repressed resistance asserted - he revolted. He took away few people those who had become his friends and followers, away from Buddha. And their whole effort was: How to kill this man? Judas was the cause of Jesus' death, and Judas was the most intellectual disciple of Jesus. Remember it. Never forget it, that he was the most sophisticated disciple of Jesus. All others were very unsophisticated, simple...
.... Finally he decided that it is time that this man should be removed forcibly. Judas was the culprit, the real murderer. He sold Jesus only in thirty silver coins. He was thinking that this is the only way to remove Jesus from the scene, then he can take over the leadership of the group, of the commune. There must have been deep down a hurt ego. It has always happened that way. Mahavira's own disciple...
... will understand the deep significance of the parable and the significance will be life-transforming, He will become a follower. He may become, later on, a disciple. He may be transformed totally. AND THE DISCIPLES CAME. AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHY SPEAKEST THOU UNTO THEM IN PARABLES? "Why don't you say things directly? Why are you indirect and indirect? Why do you go around and around? Why not hit...
... something, you attain to some power because knowledge gives power; knowledge is power. What will you do with the power if you don't understand? If you understand it, the power will be absorbed by you; the power will give you light. The power will become silence, the power will become a deep calm. The power will become humility, humbleness - it will kill your ego. But if you don't understand, then the...
...... The heart is the good ground. And the good news can be received only in the good ground. Jesus says: "That's why I talk in parables." The parable can be understood according to the man. He can understand it according to himself. If he has something within him, then the parable will hit that source and will give much. If he has nothing in him, the parable will be lost. If you don't have the...
.... Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. LUKE 18 SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE? GOOD, SAVE ONE, THAT IS, GOD. ADULTERY, DO NOT KILL, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER. LACKEST THOU ONE THING: SELL ALL THAT THOU HAST, AND DISTRIBUTE UNTO THE POOR, AND THOU SHALT HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN: AND COME, FOLLOW ME. WAS VERY RICH. HOW HARDLY SHALL THEY THAT HAVE RICHES...
... God. Jesus said: THOU KNOWEST THE COMMANDMENTS, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT KILL, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER. Jesus said to that man, "You know the commandments. Follow them. If you want to enter into the kingdom of God, the eternal life, you know the commandments. Every child knows them: DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT KILL, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT...
.... Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. The first question: Question 1: BELOVED MASTER, IN THE WEST I WAS TRAINED AS A SOCIAL WORKER. I WAS TAUGHT THAT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT A PERSON RESPECTS AND LOVES HIMSELF AND FEELS WORTHWHILE. I WAS TAUGHT THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO GIVE SUPPORT TO HELP STRENGTHEN THE EGO. YOU SAY KILL THE EGO. I AM CONFUSED. Prem Aradhana, the ego is needed because the true self is not...
... consciousness is there, just behind the rock; it has not to be brought from somewhere else. Remove the rock - real religion consists only of removing that which is unnecessary, and then the necessary starts flowing. That which is unessential has to be removed. And the essential is already there, is already the case! You remove the rock and you will be surprised: you need not create the real self - it reveals...
... the church, to die for your religion, is the sure way to enter into paradise. Instantly you are uplifted into paradise if you die for your religion." Kill others for your religion and it is not sin; die for your own religion and it is not suicide. Killing is not murder, committing suicide is not suicide! Once these ideas have been implanted in your being, imprinted in your being, they start...
... roseflower. You are so much occupied, your senses are so full of information; they are not empty and available. Your senses are not very sensitive. The buddha does not kill them, but many saints have been doing that stupidity. There have been Christian saints in Russia - a long tradition - who used to cut off their genital organs; the nuns used to cut off their breasts. Ridiculous, stupid! What more...
.... When he finally managed to crawl out, he saw his wife standing on the road. 'Maria' he said 'if you hit me like that again you'll really make me lose my temper.' Now this is bullshit. If you ask a psychoanalyst, he will call it a rationalisation. The culture society was organising a group to be comprised strictly of virgins, when a young lady carrying a baby appeared. 'But, madam' protested the...
... it would be good if he should look into the Bible; you cannot find a more beautiful story full of suspense. Everything is there: love. Life, murder; everything is there. It is very sensational. Scriptures, to me, have nothing special. Scriptures are as sacred as the trees and the rocks and the stars - or as secular. I don't make a distinction so I am not very serious about scriptures. The only...
... trap of laziness is better than the trap of egoism. That is more dangerous, because the lazy person has never done anything wrong, a lazy person cannot do. He will never do any good - okay, but he will never do any wrong either. He will not bother to kill anybody, to torture anybody, to create concentration camps, to go to war he will not bother. He says 'Why? When one can rest, why?' A lazy person...
..., but will only teach you courage, adventure, quest. Listening to your question, I remembered two stories. There was a boy five or six years old who had acquired the habit of using swear words in his ordinary conversation. His parents tried their best to break him of this habit, and in final desperation hit upon a plan which they thought would work. They called their son into a family consultation and...
... governor-generals in the world. A politician said to the dying Socrates, 'We are sorry that you had to be sentenced to death.' Socrates opened his eyes and said, 'Don't be worried. You cannot kill me, I will live. And remember, your name will be remembered only because of me.' And that is so. The real India is a quest of the innermost soul of man - not the geography, not the political history, but the...
... Hindu chauvinists. But what kind of hypocrisy is this? Now they pay tribute and call him Father of the Nation. And these are the murderers; they created the climate in the country to murder that man. And now they worship him. In his name now they are in power. India has many currents. And it is beautiful. It is not a monolith, that's why it is beautiful. It is a rainbow, it has all the colours...
... was not his wife. Radha was his mistress. And India never bothered to kill this man. Rather on the contrary we have said that he is the ABSOLUTE avatar, the TOTAL coming of God on the earth. Why have we called him the total God? Because he can sin like a sinner, the greatest sinner, and he remains like a saint - the greatest ever known. Two polarities meet in him. He is total. If a saint is simply a...
... sleep, but the disciple had a curious habit: he would eat a little, shake himself, then eat some more. One day Nasrudin said, What do you do? Tell me the secret. Am I not your Master? The disciple said, Well Master, I find if I eat a little, then drink some water, then settle it all by shaking, I can hold more. It is just like a box - you settle, things settle.... Nasrudin took off his sandal and hit...
...! Remember the disease of O.D. It kills in many ways. Overeating, overloving, can kill you. Many people come to me - they are overdoing sex. They are killing themselves. Or overeating, they are killing themselves. Yes, and you can do over-meditation also. The mind always likes to do something to the extreme. Mind is the extremist, it never wants to be in the middle, because to be in the middle is to be...
... Sumeru, the golden mountain in heaven was going to have my name. For this I have lived, for this I have staked my life; for this I was ready to kill the whole world. And anybody else can erase my name and write his. What is the point of writing it? I will not write it." The gatekeeper laughed. The emperor said, "Why are you laughing?" The gatekeeper said, "This is strange, because...
... off my head, you can cut off my hands, you can cut off my legs, you can cut my whole body into pieces, but remember one thing: when you are cutting my body, my head, my hands, I will be watching in the same way as you will be watching. Your sword cannot cut me, my watcher cannot be penetrated by a sword. So start!" he said. But it is so difficult to kill such a man, who is inviting you to kill...
... first class I have given in my whole life, and I don't think I will give one again, because I don't think anybody is going to hit me so hard." He hugged me. He invited me and my vice-chancellor and the professor to come to the cafeteria. He said, "I enjoyed it because for the first time I felt I was really encountering someone; otherwise, students come so afraid, and they go on repeating...
... said, "You all stand in a line and I will count and teach you how to count. I will slap the first person; he has to say, 'One,' then I will slap twice the second person; he has to say, 'Two,' then thrice, the third person; he has to say, 'Three.' This way I will go on hitting. And when I hit ten times you know you are ten; nobody is lost." And this way he counted. He enjoyed hitting them...
..., and they were very happy being hit because the lost companion was found. This is Vedanta's attitude, that in the world we go on collecting everything, possessing money, power, prestige, just forgetting ourselves - but that is the most precious thing. I was the second person to speak. You know I am crazy, so I said, "This story is just absurd." The whole conference was shocked: This is an...
