... reality are not interested in such games. A poor tailor was beside himself. His wife was sick and perhaps dying. He called on the only doctor nearby. "Please, save my wife, doctor! I'll pay anything!" "But what if I can't cure her" asked the doctor. "I'll pay whether you cure her or kill her, if only you'll come right away!" So the doctor promptly visited the woman, but...

...; admitted the doctor. "And did you kill her?" "I certainly did not!" expostulated the physician. "In that case," the rabbi said with finality, "you have no grounds on which to base a fee." One can enjoy logic. One can enjoy logic-chopping too. But never be befooled - it cannot lead you to truth. You have to surrender ALL logicalness. That's why it is very...
... sophisticated, very cultured. The more you polish it, the further away it is from your reality. Let it be raw so that it is close to your heart. If your question itself has gone very far away from your heart, then how can my answer be close to you? My answer will hit the question and you will be very far away from it. Let it be raw like a wound so I can hit it directly. It will hurt. That's why you try to...
..., 'What is this poor cat going to do in those two years? Nothing. But in two years these fools will do much.' "I have not killed the cat out of anger, I have not killed the cat out of hate. I loved her and I love her more now because she helped to solve a problem. And it was a good shock to these idiots, because without shocks their minds don't function. Once in a while you have to hit them."...

...; And certainly it happened from that day all kinds of quarreling simply disappeared, because those disciples became aware that this man is dangerous, he can kill somebody; the quarrel can be too hazardous. All arguments ceased. And the king was absolutely satisfied. He said, "This has always been your teaching, that it is not the act but the consciousness. We can only see the act; we don't know...
... convenience; it is making a lifelong contract. Otherwise, a few people prefer temporary contracts, a few people prefer lifelong contracts - these are preferences. And nobody possesses anybody. So if somebody's wife has escaped - great! Great for the man because he is free, and great for the woman because for a few days at least the man will not want to kill her! It is freeing and beautiful for the other man...

.... He had said, "What will he do with the ladder? Because a ladder does not fit with a psychoanalyst... a couch is okay." So he had come ahead and was sitting on top of the tree and when Sigmund Freud started making love, it was so hilarious and Carl Gustav Jung himself became so excited that the branch that he was holding started moving and a coconut fell and hit the lady elephant's head...
... the body. Another Zen Master picks up his staff and hits the seeker on the head. This is also strange. The seeker has gone to him for peace of mind, and the Master hits him with his staff. This suddenly creates a moment of strangeness for the seeker. But it will not be so in India. If you hit someone here, he will hit you back; he will be ready for a fight. It will only happen in Japan, because this...
... searched the body to find out where the black hole exists. It is just below the navel. Two inches below the navel exists the point of death. It is a very subtle point. You must have heard the word harakiri; the word comes from hara. hara means the black hole inside the body, and harakiri means suicide, to use that black hole. The Japanese have become very efficient in killing themselves; nobody can kill...

... suffering - because from the throat to the hara there is much distance; that distance death will have to travel. So if somebody's head is cut off, the body remains alive for a few minutes; it goes on trembling and throbbing because you have not penetrated the hara directly. The Japanese can kill themselves so easily and so silently that when you see a man who has done harakiri, who has committed suicide...
... save somebody ...! Do you think in this dry creek ... even if you try to kill yourself by drowning, it is impossible. Our sannyasins say to them, "We are saved" - but they don't listen, they go on saying that, "Christ is the savior." But this is strange. If a man is not sick why should he enter your hospital, or drink your medicine? Isn't anybody allowed to be just healthy? No...

... to you, follow a different law: if you cling to them they shrink, if you cling too much you can even kill them. If you want to destroy them, then close all the windows and doors, become a grave so nothing can escape outside you - but you will be a dead man, with all your treasures also dead with you; your truth, your freedom, your love, your joy. Everything will be dead with you - securely dead...
... commune we had our symbol of birds. Somebody - this you can see is utterly stupid - somebody has made holes by shooting bullets into the birds. Those birds are just painted, but such is... These people would have liked to kill all of you... they would not dare! Now they are shooting painted birds which were our symbols. Just the other day one man has been caught as a murderer and he confessed in the...

... court that he was offered the opportunity, at whatever cost, to bomb the house where I lived in the commune. He went there, but seeing that it was too well guarded he did not dare. But his statement shows that people were trying to kill me, and now they are trying in a psychological way. They are preventing any news media from reaching here: the Indian government does not give them permission. We...
.... "We are giving you freedom and you are as scared as if we are going to kill you." And those prisoners said, "That's exactly what we are feeling - that you are going to kill us. We are perfectly happy here. Just excuse us; we cannot fulfill your expectations, it is too late." But revolutionaries are stubborn people. They did not listen to the prisoners; they cut their chains, they...
.... "I can't cut it out just like that, Doctor!" wailed the Mulla "It would kill me." "Hmmm.... you have probably got something there said the doctor. "We will compromise then, and do it gradually. For the next week you can drink four double scotches a day. No more. The following week we will cut it down to three, and the week-after down to two. Nasrudin staggered off and was...

..., "You can kill me, but this torture with the spears has got to stop. DAMMIT, I AM TIRED OF BEING STUCK FOR THE DRINKS." 88. "Is there any reason why the board should not draft you into the army, Mulla?" "Yes, I have defective eyesight," said Mulla Nasrudin. "Are you able to substantiate that claim?" "WELL -- HERE'S A PHOTOGRAPH OF MY WIFE." 89. Mulla...
