... you see? This is my answer! You cannot stand and say your name before me; that was the same situation with me in those days. I can kill you - he could have killed me!" And the same was done to Khrushchev. That's how it has been going on. In power politics you don't think of right or wrong means. In politics there is nothing right, nothing wrong: whatsoever succeeds is right and whatsoever fails...
... encounter the person directly. Everywhere agents are needed. Priests have been agents between man and God. "You commit sin? Don't be worried," priests say. "Just give the right amount of bribes and you will be forgiven. And God is very compassionate." If you don't bribe, then of course you have to suffer. Buddha removed God completely. He removed God because he wanted to remove the...
...; I said, "How can I go to sleep?" And he was really doing such hard work - something like Rolfing! I asked him, "Where did you learn Rolfing?" He said, "I have waited for one year!" I said, "That I understand." So he was taking revenge! Finally I got tired, so tired that I had to call the police to remove that man. Now he was very angry. He said, "No...
...; shouted his father. "Your turtle is not dead after all." "Daddy, let's kill it!" This is innocence, but not Buddha-like. Now the child has become so much interested in the grave and the white fence and the ice-cream, that who cares for the turtle now? Now all that ceremony... But there is no sin either. There is no virtue, no sin; he is simply unaware. You cannot say that he is...
... left empty again, as it had been for countless ages. Finally, he hit on the idea of choosing which of the many Buddhas, Arhatas, Bodhisattvas, Christs, Kutubs and other enlightened beings abounding in the lotus paradise was the Master of Masters - in short, a spiritual Mr. Universe competition. He summoned all the enlightened ones together and asked them to encapsulate in a short phrase the essence...
... of their teaching, which would entitle them to the title of Master of Masters. There was, as usual, a deep silence which lasted a few hundred years. Finally a Zen Master stood forward and hit the journalist hard on the head. This was considered to be well deserved, but not very original. Another hundred years passed and then a Sufi stood up and began to whirl. Unfortunately he was out of training...
... others' lives. That is just a reflection, that is just a shadow. Stop interfering with your own life, then suddenly all interference disappears because that is absurd. Life is already going where it needs to go, why interfere? The river is already flowing towards the ocean, why interfere? Why direct it? If you start directing the river, you kill it - it becomes a channel. Then it is no more a river...
... and the roads are rough and there are thorns also. Life is full of thorns, so help the snake put shoes on the snake.' You will kill the snake. All effort to improve upon people is just like that, but it is a natural corollary: if you are trying to improve yourself, you will try to improve others. Your own disease goes on overflowing onto others. Once you stop improving upon yourself, once you...
... IS RATIONALISATION? Rationalisation is a pseudo reasoning - it looks like reason, but is not. In life you use it every day. You come from the office angry, the boss was nasty but you could not be angry there; there you had to smile. He was shouting at you, screaming at you, and you were smiling; you were as soft as butter, you swallowed anger. You wanted to kill the man then and there, but that is...
.... Surrender means you become vulnerable, open, you don't defend. Surrender means now you put your arms away, now you drop your armor. Now even if the Master wants to kill you, you will be happy to be killed by the Master. I have heard... One day Hassan of Busra and Malik, son of Dinar, and Sakik of Bulk, came to see Rabiya el-Adawiya when she was ill. Rabiya is one of the greatest woman mystics of the world...
... his Lord." Let me repeat it: none is sincere in his claim unless he forgets the blows in beholding his Lord. Even when the Master hits, you feel tremendously happy. And the Master has to hit to make openings in your being; you have grown a hard crust around yourself. That was necessary for survival, otherwise you would not have survived at all. You had to protect yourself against so many...
... dangerous situations in life. You have become afraid, frightened; you have created a China Wall around yourself. When you come to a Master you have to drop that armor. And the armor may have gone so deep that you cannot drop it. Then the Master has to hit you, the Master has to use a sledge-hammer. He has to cut many chunks of your being because they are not really part of you. They are part of the armor...
... outside. But Delgado just pushes a button, it touches some center in his head - a center which functions to create ferociousness, anger, rage - and rage is released. The bull rushes towards Delgado, mad to kill him. When for the first time the experiment was done, fifty thousand people had come to see it. Their breathing stopped; they had never seen any bull so ferocious. And the experiment was done in...
... Morarji Desai can push a button in Delhi and the whole country says, "Morarji Desai, JINDABAD. Long live Morarji Desai!" You just order, "Right turn!" and the whole country turns right; "Go and kill the enemy!" and people start killing. Delgado has released a more dangerous phenomenon than atomic energy. People have not yet understood all the implications of it. It will...
... to learn the art of it. Sing, dance, celebrate. Sex should not be a hasty affair, it should not be a hit-and-run affair - as it is. Savour it. It should be a great ritual. That's how Tantra rituals arose. Prepare for it. Become more sensitive, open, silent. When you are going into lovemaking you are entering into the temple of God. Enter only when you are prayerful, otherwise not. Don't enter with...
... observing is a very subtle phenomenon, a subtle approach. It may be as successful as a college friend I once knew. He met a girl at a football game, and they hit it off so well that he took her to a show. That went fine, so he asked her to dinner. They enjoyed a leisurely dinner at a good hotel and followed that with a night club and dancing. Along toward midnight, they were having a snack at a table for...
... two and he said to her, "You know, I have had a wonderful time ever since I met you this afternoon. I think we have hit it off swell together, don't you?" "Sure," she agreed. "I have enjoyed it too." "I would like to have breakfast with you in the morning." And he looked at her eagerly, "May I?" "Yes," she answered, "I would like that...
... interested in it. Just think of a hungry man: if you talk about meditation to him, it will be just insulting him. It will be humiliating him. He is hungry, he needs bread - and you say to him, "Man cannot live by bread alone"? He will kill you! He needs bread, and you talk about God? The East is turning communist every day for a simple reason: because unless the East becomes rich there is no...
... question, that the children should write whether they would like to kill their parents or not, and I am the only one who wrote 'no'. Everybody else wrote 'yes', so the psychoanalyst said: You are the only abnormal child. Every child wants to kill his parents. A moment comes when the lover would like to kill the beloved; and she was the goal of all his desires, of all his dreams, of all his poetry. How...
... you have to condition him first. Push this button and immediately breakfast comes in. I have conditioned him perfectly." B. F. Skinner thinks he has conditioned his lab mice, and they think they have conditioned him. Conditioning is a murder; the spontaneity is killed. The mind is fed with certain ideas and you are not allowed to respond; you are only allowed to react. In small things or great...
... would have liked to kill. Inside you car;y on all rubbish and on the outside you go on sprinkling perfume. Inside you stink; on the outside you create an illusion as if you are a roseflower. Never repress. Repression is the greatest calamity that has happened to man. And it has happened for very beautiful reasons. You look at a buddha or a muso - so silent, undisturbed. A greed arises: you would also...
... for a moment, then said to the guard, 'It doesn't say positively." You can always find ways, means, through words. I say 'alert'. I never said 'watch'. Watching is a tense activity. You become narrowed. Alertness is a very broad consciousness. You are not narrowed; you are widely open. Watching is concentration. You concentrate - as if you want to hit a target with an arrow. Then you...
... my very childhood I have been curious about everything, and in India there are so many dogs. The municipal committees cannot kill them because it is violent and immediately there would be trouble from the people: "You are killing" - so their number goes on growing. Just as the number of people goes on growing, the number of dogs goes on growing. Sitting in front of my house in the winter...
... what. The stronger man may not know anything, may be just a heavyweight, not a heavyweight champion, and the smaller man may throw him off. We are not programmed. Dogs are programmed and they can read each other's program easily. They give all the signs of their program: "This is what I can do. These are my teeth, you can see them. This is my bark, this way I jump, this way I will hit. You show...
... superintendent, "I am no longer mad, and now this is a torture for me. For these four months it was perfectly okay: they were beating me or I was beating them; it didn't matter. We were fighting and we were pulling each other and shouting and screaming and biting. Everything was going on - it was a free-for-all. But now I am not mad. "This is the difficulty: I cannot hit them - I feel sad for them...
... mean by innocence. When I say I know that I know not, I am trying through language to help you have a little glimpse of what happens when contradictions meet. I am saying both I know and I know not. They will cross each other, kill each other, destroy each other. And what will remain? Just an innocent awareness. Ignorance is not innocent. Ignorance feels inferiority; the ego hurts. Knowing is not...
... if somebody sees you there, and recognizes you there...." I said, "That is my problem." He said, "No, it is not your problem - they will kill me, they will say 'It is you who took him; otherwise how could he find that bistro? You were supposed to take him home from the meeting place, not to a bistro.'" I said, "Don't be worried. I will protect you and say that I...
... the mother, that he has to remain in the womb for his whole life: he would kill the mother. Coming out of the womb does not mean disrespect. One day he stops drinking milk from her breast. That does not mean that he is turning his back on her, that he no longer cares about her. He is becoming independent. No, that's how it should be: these are outer bondages that he is breaking. But inner bondages...
