... gave me the poison in small doses. And still they were afraid that perhaps those small doses were not going to kill me, so finally they put a bomb under my chair. It is by the courtesy of the bomb that I am alive; it did not go off at the right time. I had left the chair. I heard it at the airport from the journalists that the bomb did not go off, something went wrong. I am not against the American...

... what Karl Marx called the "opium of the people." They are giving the poor consolation, that "Your poverty is a fire test. Just listen to the words of Jesus. He says, 'Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth.'" If blessed are the poor, then there is no need to remove poverty. In fact, make more poor people so they can become more blessed people and can inherit the...

... planet can live in peace. In three thousand years the politicians have dragged humanity into five thousand wars, but you will be surprised: even in five thousand wars politicians have not been able to kill more people than religions have killed. They have their religions wars: crusades, jihad.... Jesus says, "Whoever is not with me is against me." Now these are the words of a politician...

... when the revolution happened in marriage, to dissolve the family. But they found it very difficult. It is one of the most ancient institutions. Emotionally, sentimentally, psychologically, it is very difficult to dissolve it. It was difficult to dissolve private ownership of property and make it public -- Stalin had to kill at least one million Russians just to make a classless society possible. They...

... returned at midnight, tired after a day's work. He sat on the bed and removed one shoe, which he let fall. When it hit the floor he suddenly remembered the finicky person in the room below, so he carefully placed the other shoe on the floor and went to sleep. After about fifteen minutes there was a knock at the door. He opened the door and saw a man standing there trembling with rage. The traveller was...

... Leave the main door unguarded." but they did as they were told, and not a single prisoner escaped. The main gate was unguarded. They could have broken it down and all of them marched out, but they ignored the main gate. they imagined it was heavily guarded since it had always been heavily guarded. When the guards asked him how he hit upon the idea, the head keeper explained it like this: "...

... destroys them, as if they were hit by a flood. If you dismantle the delicate machinery of all these seventy million cells and tried to work things out for yourself, you would never meet with any success. Failure and great damage are certain. Yet this is what people do: they try to open their own brains! They try to meditate on their own and practice their own yoga postures! They pick up clues from books...

... principle it's fine: Do not kill others-Live and let live! But it implies that they want to survive and they don't care about the others at all so they use the idea of non-violence; there is no other meaning behind it. After having thrown Krishna into hell, they were afraid of the anger of the Hindus, so out of fear they have played another trick: They declared that Krishna will be a Tirthankara in the...

... hit it of at once. Both were born in 1743. Amschel kept his true wealth from Elector Wilhelm I, always wearing the same clothes and pretending to be poor. From the time he became the manager of the fortune of Elector Wilhelm I, Amschel's fortune increased as his employer's decreased. In 1794 there occurred an event that caused Elector Wilhelm I to flee. It happened when the French General Hoche...

... the world safe for democracy" and fighting a "war to end all wars." I cannot go too far back in history, so let us begin with some of the most explosive upheavals to hit the world beginning with the 18th century and the personalities involved and then continue through to the 20th century. Limitations of space restrict to the more salient features of these events. Although there is no...

... explained by only 5% of all condemned? Why were the reforms bought for 4 billion francs and 50,000 heads when Louis XVI was already offering them free?" Ernest Renan in his work, La Monarchic Constitutionally en France, wrote: The murder of King Louis XVI was an act of the most hideous materialism, the most shameful profession of ingratitude and baseness, of most roturiere villainy and forgetfulness...

... tempted to reveal whom the persons behind the revolution were. Murder, then as now, was the favorite weapon employed against those who sought to thwart the will of the "300." Lord Acton, writing in his Essay on the French Revolution made this observation: The appalling thing is not the tumult but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of a calculating organization...

... one of his causes celebre and showed how far his powerful arm could reach. A certain priest, a Father Thomas and his servant disappeared in Damascus in April 1840. Murder was suspected and the suspects, who just happened to be Jewish, were arrested, whereupon they confessed to the murder. World Jewry immediately protested vehemently that the arrested Jews were innocent, and that their confessions...

... had been made under torture. James and Salomon immediately brought their combined pressures to bear upon the monarch and Salomon induced Prince Mettemich of Austria to take action. The Austrian Consul von Laurin protested to Mohammed Ali, reporting directly to James and Salomon actions taken. The French Consul at Damascus, however, being on the scene, took an altogether different view of the murder...

..., and took a room in the Hotel des Reservoirs where he lived throughout the fighting, looting and the terrors of the revolution. The quoted portions are from the work of Olivia Maria O'Grady, the works of Professor Langer and from The Untold Mystery by John Reeves. What is worthy of note is that while the most radical of the mob remained to murder their unfortunate victims, their leaders slipped out...

... Rothschilds: He also hit out at a Mr. Mayer who is a brother-in-law of Mr. George Blumenthal a member of the firm of J.P. Morgan and Co., who, I understand, represents the Rothschild interest... I want to make it perfectly plain, that in placing Mr. Mayer at the head of the Federal Reserve system you are turning it over completely to this international finance group. How was the U.S. forced into the slavery...

... Constitution that forbad establishing a central bank. We are reminded by the words of Jesus Christ at his crucifixion when He said: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." This prayer of forgiveness was for and behalf of the Roman soldiers, and not for the Sanhedrin, who had demanded his execution. Thus we say of those members of the U.S. Congress who were ignorant of what was being...

... House to receive permission to listen to the debate. The bill was presented not directly, but what it became known as, a bill to remove restrictions from all faiths, what the Rothschilds always did, calling such an approach as a "side wind." The measure was to end the longstanding practice, which held, that Jews could not become magistrates, schoolteachers or enter Parliament; could not vote...

... characterized by scathing debate. The measure was now being referred to in the Times as the "annual pastime" of Parliament. Having been struck down in 1849, 1851, 1853, 1856 and 1857, Disraeli in 1858 tried a new tack by changing the wording of the Oath, but the Lords again rejected it. Disraeli hit back by appointing a committee to look into a basis of the restoration of the new Oath and appointed...

... order, Kuhn, Loeb and Co., floated the three large Japanese war loans in 1904 and 1905. In appreciation he was awarded the Second Order of the Sacred Treasure of Japan. After the decisive defeat of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur, the stage was set for the grave unrest in Russia that was to follow: July 28, 1904 Murder of Viacheslav von Plehve, the able minister of the interior August 22,1904 Jewish...

... Romanov's. The murder of von Plehve was predicted in a Jewish poem circulated in February 1904, addressed to "Haman." Easily identified as the minister of the interior, it read that the "new Haman" would soon die. On the morning of July 28, 1904, a terrorist by the name of Sazonov threw a bomb at von Plehve as he stood in the square before the Warsaw depot in St. Petersburg. Just...

... Jerusalem His portrayal of the consequences was plain demagogy; if this were done, he said, war would come to an end. But then came the paramount idea (and who knows whence Monk got it?): an International Government must be set up in Jerusalem. Here Monk hit on the true intention of Zionism. Monk was only enabled to have his work published through an acquaintanceship which he owed to Holman Hunt: John...

... day" was at hand and pointing to some warlike episode, in Africa or Asia Minor or the Balkans or Europe, as the foretold beginning of the end; skirmishes and minor campaigns never lacked. At last Holman Hunt and Ruskin hit on a plan which seemed likely to allay their fears, appease their consciences and rid them of The Prophet; they urged him to go to Jerusalem and (like Sabbatai Zevi) proclaim...

... interview me. Three: I will not go out of the country. If I fulfilled these three conditions then I could stay in the country. I said, "Why don't you simply shoot me? These conditions are just to kill me!" And I had to leave the country because... there are many sannyasins in high posts in the government who informed me that I should leave immediately because they were going to confiscate my...

... the question of separation. There is no need to kill people. India should remain one. My solution is simple -- one just needs a little understanding. Freedom is everybody's birthright. So I am not in favor of this India, which is absolutely corrupted. But to me, in my vision, there is a totally different, glorious India, which consists of men like Gautam Buddha, Nagarjuna, Vasubundhu, Shankara... a...

... every physician told him, "You are straining your whole brain system too much. You are too serious, you should relax; you have taken too much of a burden on yourself." Sometimes his migraine was so much that he would like to have hit his head against the wall. While speaking he was almost screaming, shouting, hitting his own head, because he could not understand that you are unable to...

..., but he would hit his head... too serious. And as death was coming closer he was becoming more and more serious, knowing now that his life had been a failure. He worked hard, immensely hard. His approach was very clean and very clear. His way of working was very logical, very intellectual, absolutely contemporary: an impeccable life of worth -- he was a perfectionist. But in the end the hands are...

... that he was true and sincere and that he told you. Tell him to never pretend - even if you feel hurt, he should never pretend! Because pretension kills love. Hurts, love can tolerate as many as possible. Hurts are nothing - in fact they make love even deeper; each hurt brings a new life - but pretensions kill. So if you pretend that you are not jealous, on the surface you will say, 'I love you', and...

... anything, then what can you do? If you cannot do anything, then what can he do? If you accept him, he accepts you... and he accepts you as you are; you accept him as he is. This is the way it should be here with my sannyasins. Otherwise you can get married to him and have a christian marriage and be happy ever afterwards. Mm? So don't kill it. Let it remain open. If it exists, good! If it disappears...

... tells you - "argue!".... You cannot force somebody to argue. But Keshav Chandra had no idea, because he had never come across such a man. He went to Dakshineshwar where Ramakrishna used to live in a temple. His disciples were very much afraid. They knew - Keshav Chandra's arguments are like spears, they go directly to the heart. They can kill a man. And Ramakrishna is so simple... perhaps he...

... interested in rational explanations. They don't miss a single opportunity in which they can make you feel guilty. Guilt is their power over you. If we can remove all guilt from humanity, all the churches will be empty, all the temples will be empty. There will be nobody praying, nobody carrying Holy Bibles. But anything can be made into guilt. Sometimes it is very hilarious.... Up to my eighteenth year, I...

... good hit to poor Maneesha. (NISKRIYA TAPS MANEESHA LIGHTLY ON THE HEAD WITH HIS ZEN STICK.) I call you "poor Maneesha" because there is a poverty of the outer world, and there is a poverty of the inner world. I am against the poverty of the outer world, but I am not against the poverty of the inner world. The poverty of the inner world means: no ego, no pride, no arrogance, pure humbleness...

... that. She said it was the biggest one she had ever seen! "Anyway, Suzy got braver and tried to kill it by biting its head off! I guess it bit her back, because suddenly she made a noise and let go. Then she grabbed it with both hands and held it tight while Herbert took a plastic muzzle from his pocket and put it over the snake's head to keep it from biting again. "Then Suzy and Herbert lay...

... even to kill her. The law allowed it, because the wife was nothing but a possession - like you possess a chair, and if you want to destroy it, it is not a crime; it was your chair. And if you kill your wife, it was your wife.... For centuries no man in China had been punished for having killed his wife - up to this century. Power over anybody reduces the other person's individuality, reduces his...
