... manners, then you should learn manners also. You remained sitting. You should have stood first. I was a guest. You did not remove your hat. Why should I remove mine? You did not ask my permission to go on sitting, why should I ask your permission? Who are you, do you think? At the most you can reject me for the ICS, but I will not leave it in your hands. I don't want to join the service." And he...
... right hand upon my nature unnecessarily." But there are very few people who will take that stand against the whole of society. So one thing: coming too close is dangerous, and still the left hand is left out: it can carry a small knife and that may be enough to kill you. The East has found a better way. Rather than shaking hands, it puts both hands together, to show you that both hands are empty...
... killed. When they were hugging, they were also carrying a knife, a small knife in their hands. And it was enough - if you wound the person in the right place, you can kill him, even with a small knife. There are many cases on record. So-called great emperors and kings have behaved in such an ugly way, inviting another king as a friend and then killing him! If emperors can do that, what about ordinary...
... cosmos. This was appealing to all those who had the intelligence. The commune became an alternative society in the eyes of the politicians. They could see the great success of the commune - it was the highest quality of communism - and they could not believe that five thousand people were living there, and there was no murder, no theft, no rape. Women could move in the middle of the night alone without...
... present shake and be afraid, and make it a point that you must be having all the evidence and the laws, otherwise you could not be roaring like a lion. All depends on how loud you are and how many times you hit on the table of the judge." Whenever you see politicians telling the biggest lies in the loudest voice, you should know that lies can only be told in loud voices. The loudness of the voice...
... time when man was living in jungles. The night was the most dangerous time. In the day somehow he managed to protect himself from the wild animals; he managed to kill them for his own food. But in the night he was absolutely helpless. Darkness all around, he was a victim. Any animal was capable of destroying him. In the day he could have managed to escape, to climb a tree or do something, but in...
... said, "Don't ask; otherwise you will have to take a third bath, and the night is too cold. You just cover yourself with a blanket and go to sleep." He said, "You will kill me!" I said, "I am not doing anything; I am simply sitting here. It is you who are doing all these things - touching my feet, taking a bath. Why are you bothered with me?" I have experienced thousands...
... the wife of your enemy, Alexander, who is camping on the other side of the Sindhu river. Now remember and keep the thread on your hand. Do whatever you want to do, but don't kill my husband." Poras promised. This was a strange strategy. But when fighting, Poras had the chance, when he killed Alexander's horse and Alexander fell on the earth and Poras jumped on him from his elephant with a spear...
.... But as he was going to put the spear into the chest of Alexander, he saw the thread. He simply stopped. Alexander asked, "What has happened?" He said, "I have given your wife a promise. She has become my sister. I cannot kill you." That way Alexander became the conqueror. This is not conquest. This is pure cunningness. And from there he returned. Seeing the way Poras behaved, he...
... is a very crude instrument for killing a person. For a healthy young man like Jesus - he was only thirty-three - it will take at least forty-eight hours of being on the cross before he will die. It is because the Jewish cross slowly takes out your blood; it does not kill you immediately. There was a conspiracy between the disciples of Jesus and Pontius Pilate, who was not a Jew. The land of Jesus...
..., Judea, was under the Roman Empire; it was a slave country. Pontius Pilate was the governor, the Roman governor. He had no interest in killing Jesus. In fact, he could not conceive why Jews were so insistent to kill this innocent young man who had not committed any crime at all. He was a politician; he could not arouse the whole of Judea against the Roman Empire just because of a young man. But he...
.... Just see the opposite. When you look at a person with hatred you have reduced him to a thing. That's why hatred wants to kill, because the hatred cannot accept that the other person is a person. He should be reduced to a thing; should be killed. Then the other is just like earth or stones - dead. Hate reduces the other to a thing. Love reduces nobody to a thing. On the contrary it raises, uplifts...
... - diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting. They are very good indications. In India, Yoga has been working for centuries. They start from the opposite end. First they cleanse your intestine. In Yoga there is a method where the yogi has to vomit every day in the morning. [Osho went on to describe this method, as he had done in a former darshan when he suggested that a sannyasin do it in order to remove some blocked...
... committed. Of course, you have the support of the whole society; so nobody calls your punishment a crime. But any unprejudiced mind can see what you are doing. A man commits rape. A man commits robbery. A man commits murder. Certainly something has to be done. But not punishment. Because the man who commits rape simply means he is sexually unsatisfied. And your society has not given him a chance to be...
... you are doing? You destroy that man's life. And I don't see the logic, because if this man's murder, crucifixion, was going to revive the other man, then too there was some logic in it. Instead of one man dead, now there will be two men dead. And you think law is satisfied, the society is satisfied; but this satisfaction is ugly. So I will not go into the details of law, because that is not my...
... everybody betrays me. I wonder how you have come to this conclusion. I certainly trust everybody but nobody has ever betrayed me, because my trust is not conditional. This has to be understood. Your trust can be betrayed if you have a condition in it. If I trust you without any condition there is no possibility of betraying me. Whatever you do I will still trust you. You can kill me but you cannot destroy...
... discrimination." The man must have thought `a giant of the intellect' and `is unable to discriminate' looks obviously nonsense, because intellect's function is discrimination. And if you are a giant of intellect, then your whole work is discrimination; very delicate and very refined discrimination. But you did well to remove that word `giant' because I am not a giant, I am a simple human being. It would...
..., priests say that, teachers say that, all the scriptures say that... you become surrounded with such pressure. You have just arrived on the earth, you don't know who you are, and everybody is telling you that you are a sheep; naturally, you live as a sheep your whole life. This is wastage, wastage of millions of people - their joy, their integrity, their individuality. This is real murder. There cannot...
... play chess, you have time to see stupid things - like a football match - for hours on end. And if asked by someone, you say, "I am killing time." Whom are you befooling? Time is killing you. You cannot kill time. You cannot even catch hold of time. You can break your watch - that does not mean you have killed time. You are destroying your life. You have enough time to be alone. Use it...
