... most dangerous man. It was not on the spur of the moment, it was a planned thing. For months he calculated when to commit the murder, how to commit the murder, how to commit it perfectly so he would not be caught. All over the world courts make a difference - this man is really dangerous, this man is really a criminal. In the spur of the moment sometimes you do something. You were not really trying...
... to kill the other; it may have happened just accidentally - yes, you became angry. Remember, I am not teaching anger, I am simply teaching totality. Through totality anger disappears, but you never become perfect, you always remain growing. Remain growing. You ask me: IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE WORLD WHO IS PERFECT? I am reminded of this small story. At a revival meeting tee evangelist exclaimed, Who...
... are already that - that's why I say the myth of change is one of the most dangerous myths. It has two dimensions to it. One is political, the other is religious. The political dimension is that the society can be improved, that revolution can help, that there is a utopia that can be realised. Because of this, politicians have been able to torture, to murder, to exploit, to oppress. And people have...
... is. You see a rock. Somebody may stumble upon it - because it is getting dark, night is falling. so you remove the rock from the path. This is action. What have you done? Consciousness has changed the content. On the path of action, content is important and has to be changed. If somebody is ill and you go and serve him and you give him medicine, you are changing the content. If somebody has fallen...
... don't know the whole story. It is only possible for art, insider to know the whole story. For example, if you had suddenly reached Gurdjieff, you might have been surprised. He might have been shouting - humiliating somebody, using abusive words. He was a past master in using abusive words. And when he was in a rage, he was really in a rage - it was as if he was going to murder. If you saw it...
...? You never created it. You have simply found it - given. Anger is there, sex is there, greed is there - you have not created them; they are given facts of life, just like your eyes and your hands. You can call them names, you can call them ugly or beautiful or whatsoever you like, but you cannot kill them. Nothing can be killed out of existence, nothing can be destroyed. Tantra says a transformation...
... fool, I wasted your wealth. Forgive me. Now I have nowhere to go, accept me, I am coming back." And the father said to his sons, "Celebrate this occasion. Kill the fattest sheep, make many delicious foods, distribute sweets to the whole town, find out the oldest wine for him. This is going to be a feast - my son who had gone astray is coming back." Some people from the village went to...
... a bath; just the blood reaches, and by the time it reaches you are back to your normal posture: and it cleanses. But if you do shirshasan for minutes together or hours together, it will kill your whole brain-system. The flood is too much, the brain cannot exist. And yogis have found many ways to destroy the brain. Once it is destroyed you cannot see the ocean - but the ocean is there, thoughts are...
... there was something I could do I would do it, but this is impossible. If you told me to fetch the moon I could bring it; if you told me to remove the Himalayas I could do it; if you told me to force the Ganges to run up-current I could do it - because in the old ancient days other monkeys like Hanuman have been known to do it. I am a monkey, I have the potentiality, I can also do it - but sitting...
... them. She became so angry that she took the one sugar-cane stick and started beating Tukaram. She hit him hard on his head. The stick broke in two and Tukaram laughed. He said, 'So you are a dualist. I believe in the one, you believe in two. Good. So now the sticks are two - you can have one and I can have one. But I thought that we were one so I thought one stick would be enough.' Your understanding...
... people. Enlightenment comes like a wave - when it comes, then many people ride the wave. There were many enlightened people, Junaid was one. Junaid said to Mansoor al-Hillaj, 'You stop talking, you keep quiet, otherwise they will kill you.' And there were other enlightened people, they all came to Mansoor and told him, 'You keep quiet! These Mohammedans around are dangerous!' But al-Hillaj wouldn't...
... done by the experts either. But we are so much interested in others' opinions because we are absolutely absent - there is nobody awake inside. Deeply asleep, we are snoring inside. The absent-minded professor went in for a haircut. He sat down in the barber's chair, but didn't remove his hat. 'I'm afraid you will have to take off your hat,' said the barber. 'Oh, I'm sorry!' said the professor, 'I...
... the films, on the radio, on the television, murder is allowed; it is not called obscene. But love-making is not allowed; it is called obscene. This society lives through hate not through love. If somebody is murdering, it is perfectly okay. If somebody puts a dagger into your heart and the blood rushes like a fountain, it is perfectly okay. But if somebody hugs you, kisses you, loves you, the...
... society is afraid. This is strange that love is obscene and murder is not, that lovers are condemned and soldiers rewarded, that war is right and love is wrong. If you accept your intelligence, if you accept yourself, you will become clear, absolutely clear; all clouds will disappear. And the second thing: you need absorption and tranquillity. Intelligence and clarity are part of the male mind...
... is simply a sinner but has found a beautiful rationalization for remaining a sinner. The murderer can say, "What can I do? - God intended to murder through me." The thief can say, "What can I do? - that's how God commanded me. I simply followed." And it will be very difficult to argue with him; he has a beautiful rationalization there. So the SOPHOS fell and became a sophist...
... happening in a country which calls itself the most religious country in the world. What kind of wisdom is this? And behind all this rape, murder, arson, are your brahmins, the claimers. They repeat the Vedas, the Upanishads, but it is only a tape in their minds. They repeat without knowing what they are repeating. SOPHIA IS wisdom. Wisdom happens in the innermost shrine of your being. It is never borrowed...
... love with him, but there are people who live so deeply in their lies... they were all getting hurt. There was every danger that he might be killed. If natural death was not going to come. there was every possibility that the herd might kill him. So naturally he was in a hurry. And he was more hard on those who were more capable. The MOST capable disciple did something wrong - he acted in an...
... drunkards are so at home in their drunkenness that you may not recognize their condition. Sleepwalkers share this same ability to wander over great distances, and to perform tasks that can only be considered as miracles when a person is asleep. There are even people who have committed murder in their sleep, and then returned to bed; and of course, in the morning they have no knowledge of what they have...
... awareness, inner wakefulness, inner consciousness. Buddha, Mahavira, Christ are not people with better memories than us, they are people of more awareness than us, a higher degree. Nothing can be taken away from them. We can murder them and cut their bodies into little pieces, but we cannot destroy their awareness, because awareness is not an outcome of any physical mechanism; awareness is the name given...
... symptom of unawareness to exploit and torture others - and to disguise the torture as morality. When a father beats his child, you think he is doing it for the child's own good. With just a small amount of awareness you will come to see that the beating has in fact nothing to do with improving the child. What has happened is that somehow the child has hit the father's ego, scratched it; and because of...
... chariot I came in?" "Yes, it is one and the same." "Please remove the horses." It was done. Pointing to the horses, the monk asked, "Is this the chariot?" The emperor said, "How can the horses be called a chariot?" At a sign from the monk, the horses were led away, and the poles used to tie the horses were removed. "Are these poles your chariot?"...
... crumble and the onrush of the ever-ready Ganges takes place. We dig a well. Water is already there, inside; it doesn't have to be brought from anywhere. We just dig up the earth and stones and remove them. What is it we do exactly? We create an emptiness so that the water that is hidden inside can find a space to move into, a space in which to show itself. That which is inside wants room; it wants space...
.... It craves an emptiness - which it is not getting - so it can come out, so it can burst forth. If a well is full of sand and stones, the moment we remove the sand and stones water will surge upwards. Similarly, man is full of love, but love needs space to surface. As long as your heart and soul are saying "I" you are a well of sand and stones, and the stream of love will not bubble up in...
... had been absolutely a dead man, then only would he have accepted it. He was alive. They could not kill his life, that aliveness exploded. If he had been a dull, mediocre mind, maybe he would have accepted - but he has an intelligence, a tremendous awareness. He got out of it. That whole movement and the whole organized thing functioned as a positive challenge. As far as I see, nothing can hold you...
... religious, he has to be forgiven. If a rich man is not religious, his sin is unpardonable. I am a rich man's guru. Absolutely it is so. Let me tell you one anecdote: They were married for twenty-five years and had their biggest argument on the day of their silver anniversary. She never hit harder or lower: "If it weren't for my money, that TV set wouldn't be here. If it weren't for my money, the very...
... with your life. A beggar cannot come because he is not yet frustrated. Religion is luxury - the last, ultimate luxury I call it, because it is the highest value. When a man is hungry, he does not bother about music, cannot. And if you start playing sitar before him, he will kill you. He will say, "You are insulting me! I am hungry and you are playing sitar - is this the time to play sitar? Feed...
...; nobody had even offered them food. For three days they had been sleeping under the trees, outside a town. and the town was very antagonistic and was ready to kill them. And the morning of the fourth day the mystic was praying again and he was saying, "Thank you. Whatsoever I need you always give me." One disciple could not contain himself. He said, "Stop all this nonsense! There is a...
... with it. It has only one word for both conscience and consciousness. Buddha also says: Your consciousness should be your conscience. You should become more aware. You should start seeing more things as they are, and then a nonviolence will arise. It is stupid to kill animals just for your food. It is not sin, it is stupid. It has nothing to do with sin. You are not going to be thrown into hell-fire...
... remain unfulfilled, and you remain empty. The first thing about livelihood is: it should be based on needs, not on desires. Then a very small quantity of things is enough. Secondly: it should not be violent. You should not do something just because you can get some money out of it. You can kill somebody and get some money, you can be a butcher and you can make your livelihood, but that is inhuman...
