... enforcing rules on others because through rules they kill and destroy, and they enjoy violence. Their violence is very subtle, they don't kill you directly, they kill you very indirectly. If somebody attacks you directly you can defend yourself. When somebody attacks you indirectly - for your own sake - you become completely a victim, you cannot even defend yourself. Many gurus are nothing but violence...
...; a man who has decided to remain authentically true to himself, and wheresoever this truth leads, he is ready to go. This is courage - because it may lead you into insecurity and you would like to be more secure; so you will listen to others and their well-wishing and then their symphonies will kill you. They have already killed you. Why do you listen to others? Because you feel that they know more...
... function is to bring death into the world. He cannot be allowed to be very alive, otherwise how will he bring death? Death can only come through a dead man. He has to kill. And before he kills others he has to be killed completely himself, through rules. So the whole army training is to kill the aliveness of the person, the consciousness of the person - to make him an automaton. So they go on saying to...
.... If you think: Why kill this man? He has not done anything to me. I don't even know who he is, he is a stranger. If you think, you will also have the feeling that you have a mother at home, a wife, a small child, who are waiting for you, and the same is going to be the case with the other. A mother must be waiting somewhere, a wife praying that her husband will come back, a child hoping that his...
... father will be back. Why kill this man and kill those hopes of a child, of a wife, of a mother, of a father, brother, friends? Why kill this man? And he has not done anything wrong to you, just two politicians have gone mad. They can go and fight with each other and decide the matter. Why decide through others? If you are alert, aware, it will be impossible for you to shoot and kill. So the whole...
... was saying, "Love. And if someone strikes you on one cheek, give him the other cheek; if someone forces you to carry his burden for one mile, go two miles with him; if someone snatches your coat, give him your shirt also." This man could not say, "Kill, murder, stone this woman to death." And if he said, "No, don't kill her," then they could say, "You are against...
... the crowd. So they said to Jesus, "This woman is a sinner, and she has confessed. So what should we do now? It is written in the old scriptures that she should be killed by throwing stones at her, she should be stoned to death. What do you say? What should we do?" They were trying to put Jesus in a dilemma, because if he said not to kill her... as it was expected he should say, because he...
... there is no mind, there is no question of choice - a choicelessness has happened. So Jesus said, "It is right, it is written in the scriptures to stone this woman to death. It is okay. Bring the stones and kill this woman - but only that man is allowed to stone this woman who has himself not committed sin in his actions, or in his mind." Then those who were leading the crowd started...
... dispersing, because there was none who had not committed adultery in act or in mind. And there is no difference whether you commit it in action or you commit it in the mind, it is the same for the consciousness. There is no difference. Whether you think of killing a person or you actually kill, there is no difference, because you have killed inwardly when you have thought. If, just in your mind, you want...
... Christianity. Then later on the judgment was changed, later on other popes found that the pope who condemned her was wrong. So later on when she was dead, posthumously she was awarded sainthood, she was made a saint. She became Saint Joan of Arc. But what to do with the man who had condemned her? What to do with the bishop who was solely responsible for her burning and murder, who had proposed to the pope...
... really had forgotten why he had started. His mind was so constantly changing. The worship had become an obsession. He had forgotten for what, so he said, "Let me think." Then he asked for one gift. The gift was given. Then he became aware that this wouldn't do; he had asked for something wrong. He was angry with his wife, so he had said, "Kill her!" Immediately she was dead. And...
... him, the stick also. He got up and picked up the stick. The man who had hit him was running away. Bokuju ran after him, calling, "Wait, take your stick with you!" He followed after him and gave him the stick. A crowd had gathered to see what was happening, and somebody asked Bokuju, "That man struck you hard, and you have not said anything!" Bokuju is reported to have said, "...
...;A fact is a fact. He has hit, that's all. It happened that he was the hitter and I was the hit. It is just as if I am passing under a tree, or sitting under a tree, and a branch falls down. What will I do? What can I do?" But the crowd said, "But a branch is a branch, this is a man. We cannot say anything to the branch, we cannot punish it. We cannot say to the tree that it is bad...
... might never have heard Mahavira, but his father created the curiosity. One day he went, but he heard only one sentence and became afraid of his father, because his father was no ordinary man - if he comes to know, he will kill him! There is no other punishment. But he heard one sentence and escaped. That night his father was in the palace of the king, and much jewelry was stolen. The father escaped...
... into nouns. It calls flowing water a river. It has forgotten completely the great insight of Heraclitus, that you cannot step in the same river twice. Where are you going to find the same river twice? But if I happen to meet Heraclitus some day - and nothing is impossible in this mysterious existence - I am going to hit him hard! Because although he has stated something tremendously beautiful, it is...
... create categories and hierarchies, and then create problems: how to achieve this, how to achieve that. One Zen master, Lin Chi, used to say to his disciples, "I am going to ask a question. If you answer, whatever the answer, I am going to hit you. If you don't answer, I am still going to hit you." He left no other possibility; any answer will be a wrong answer, and in being afraid that all...
... answers are going to be wrong answers, your silence is also an answer. You are trying to be clever. Lin Chi will not leave you alone, he will hit you in any case. When Lin Chi's successor arrived, as usual Lin Chi said, "I am going to ask the question..." And the successor said, "You need not. If you ask the question, I am going to hit you - whatever the question. And if you don't ask I...
... am going to hit you." In a gathering of disciples, this stranger... and Lin Chi hugged him and said, "So you have come! Take the seat, because I am retiring." Ed Meese comes into the oval office one morning and says, "Mr. President, I was wondering, sir, if it might be possible for my son to work somewhere in the White House." "Of course," replied Reagan, "...
... even going out of my house. In those seven years in Poona, I had gone only twice out of the house: once to see my father when he was dying and once when Vimalkirti was dying. Otherwise I was just remaining in the house because now they were so desperate that they wanted to kill me. Now it was not only a question of preventing me, now people were coming to me. I was not going anywhere so they could...
... not prevent me. And in front of ten thousand sannyasins they tried to kill me by throwing a knife. It was something unprecedented, because attempts to kill somebody are not made so publicly - ten thousand eyewitnesses. The knife was there, and twenty highly posted police officers were there because they had got an anonymous phone call in the morning: "Some people are trying to kill Osho this...
... tell a lie for no reason. But I had to release him; otherwise, you know these people - they can even kill me." So that man was released. And as I have been moving around, the dangers have been becoming larger and larger every day. First, it was one government, one country, then another government, and now it is the whole world. It has been a strange experience, of how uncivilized humanity is and...
... book, JAPUJI, and the Sikhs were immensely happy because no non-Sikh had ever bothered. And the meaning I gave to their small booklet they had never thought of. But when I said, after two years, in a meeting in their Golden Temple that, "I consider only Nanak to be enlightened; the remaining nine masters are just ordinary teachers," they were ready to kill me. I said, "You can kill me...
... better not to get into them. The basic urge to get into a triangle is not love, it is something else. It is power. You feel more powerful because you can pull [your boyfriend] from his wife towards you. And the wife is also feeling powerful - she pulls [her husband], and he is just a football between the two of you. When he is hit by her, he comes to you. When you hit him, he goes there. It cannot...
... responsibility. That is dangerous, because unless love grows very intimate, it will not come to fruition; it will not be fulfilled. You will not come to know what it really is. You touch the periphery... it is a hit-and-run affair. [She answers: You spoke the other day about the indian mind and I thought I am also false and indirect and that is why I am attracted to Indians.] That is not the point. Your...
..., changing every day. It is not like a fashion - somebody comes along with a better face, a fairer colour, and everyone changes. They believe that love should be a very permanent thing, and it is very meaningful. If it can become permanent it is very beautiful. Your desire is not wrong; it is absolutely in the right direction, but your western upbringing is a problem. No indian woman will hit her lover...
...; impossible. But you hit! That comes very easy to the Westerner. You have to drop that, otherwise an Indian will simply feel puzzled at what is happening; what type of love this is. So just try for a few more days, mm? And then I will see. Don't be worried. [A sannyasin says: I'm finding myself in emptiness a lot. I feel like I just want to die... I've tried to enjoy it... I've tried to just give in to it...
... brutish people, vile and vulgar men, slaves worthy of the yoke [Talmudism] which you bear ... Go, take back your books and remove yourselves from me. (LA MOISADE) [The Talmud] taught the Jews to steal the goods of Christians, to regard them as savage beasts, to push them over the precipice ... to kill them with impunity and to utter every morning the most horrible imprecations against them. (JUIFS) 783...
... expect of their Messiah is that he should slay and murder the whole world with the sword. As they at first demonstrated against us Christians and would like to do now, if they only could; have also tried it often and have been repeatedly struck on their snouts... Their breath stinks for the gold and silver of the heathen; since no people under the sun always have been, still are, and always will remain...
..., martyr stated in 116 A. D.: "The Jews were behind all the persecutions of the Christians. They wandered through the country everywhere hating and undermining the Christian faith." 774 ST. JOHN, Gospel of St. John VII: "After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry because the Jews sought to kill him." 775 M. H.DE HEEKELINGEN, in Israel: Son Passe, Son Avenir: "The former...
... with the heathen in Persia at the time of Esther... On how they love the book of Esther, which so nicely agrees with their bloodthirsty, revengeful and murderous desire and hope. The sun never did shine on a more bloodthirsty and revengeful people as they, who imagine to be the people of God, and who desire to and think they must murder and crush the heathen. And the foremost undertaking which they...
... TALMUD and rabbis write that it is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it is a sin if he kills a brother in Israel? It is no sin if he does not keep his oath to a heathen. Therefore, to steal and rob (as they do with their moneylending) from a heathen, is a divine service... And they are the masters of the world and we are their servants - yea, their cattle! I maintain that in three fables of...
.... He knows that you cannot really kill yourself, you can only pretend to. Suicide is just a pose, because really you are neither alive nor dead. Death is on the fifth plane, in the fifth body. It is a going out of a particular energy and a coming in of a particular energy. You are the one in which this coming and going happens. If you become identified with the first, you can commit the second. If...
... you become identified with living, and if life becomes impossible, you can say, "I will commit suicide." This is the other aspect of your fifth body asserting itself. There is not a single human being who has not thought at some time to commit suicide... because death is the other side of life. This other side can become either suicide or murder: it can become either. If you are obsessed...
... with life, if you are so attached to it that you want to deny death completely, you can kill another. By killing another you satisfy your death wish: "the will to die." By this trick you satisfy it, and you think that now you will not have to die because someone else has died. All those persons who have committed great murders - Hitler, Mussolini - are still very much afraid of death. They...
... are always in fear of death, so they project this death on others. The person who can kill someone else feels that he is more powerful than death: he can kill others. In a "magical way," with a "magical formula," he thinks that because he can kill he transcends death, that a thing he can do to others cannot be done to him. This is a projection of death, but it can come back to...
... you. If you kill so many persons that in the end you commit suicide, it is the projection coming back to you. In the fifth body, with life and death coming to you - with life coming and going - one cannot be attached to anyone. If you are attached, you are not accepting the polarity in its totality, and you will become ill. Up to the fourth body it was not so difficult, but to conceive of death and...
... cosmic experience; you are not there! The person who is in the sixth body - who has reached to the sixth body - will see everything that is dying as his own death. A Mahavira cannot kill an ant, not because of any principle of nonviolence, but because it is his death. Everything that dies is his death. When you become aware of this, of the creation and the destruction - of things coming into existence...
... the very least, all your judges and all your great law experts can become gardeners. But the whole justice establishment is there to protect the many injustices that are in existence, and the people who are in power want those injustices to continue. The world of my vision, the world of the new man, will remove all causes. Many crimes - murder, rape, even stealing - are hereditary. You need your...
...: N.A. Question 1: BELOVED MASTER, WHAT IS JUSTICE FOR A REBELLIOUS MAN? Raso, it is one of the most significant questions to be asked - for the simple reason that man has never tried to remove the causes of injustice. On the contrary, in the name of justice, he has been taking revenge on the individuals who were not obedient to the social order, to the establishment, to the vested interests. They...
... criminal; every man is born as a sage, innocent. It is a certain kind of nurturing, a certain kind of society, a certain upbringing, that reduces him into a criminal. The society of the rebels will remove the causes. For example, poverty will not be allowed on the earth. And once poverty is removed, almost fifty percent of crimes will be removed, and fifty percent of judges, fifty percent of courts...
... how to remove the causes. Why do people want power? Because whatever they are doing is not respected. A shoemaker is not respected like the president of a country. In reality, he may be better as a shoemaker than the president is as a president. The quality should be praised - if a shoemaker is a better shoemaker, then he need not be interested in being a president. His own art, his own craft, will...
... division of classes in the society between the poor and the rich is because of currency notes. The rebel will remove all currency, all money. Everybody should get his needs fulfilled. The commune will be responsible to take care of the individual. The commune will make every effort to be richer, to be healthier, to allow people to live more comfortably, to live more luxuriously. But for that you don't...
... collaboration of science, psychology, psychoanalysis and psychiatry, the rebel will be able to remove all injustice, and the very question will become irrelevant. Raso, you are asking, "What is justice for a rebellious man?" To destroy all the causes of injustice... to help people to be healthier, to be more sane, to change their chemistry so their anger and their violence disappear. To give...
... priests, the capitalists - all causes can be removed. People will completely forget the word 'justice', because there will not be any justice or injustice in existence. There is one tribe in Burma, a very small tribe, whose whole history is a great example of what I am saying. There has never been any murder, there has never been any suicide, there has never been any rape, there has never even been...
... thousand years old - there is no police station, there are no police, there is no court, there is no law; yet no theft happens, no murder happens. And if sometimes a murder happens, then a very rare thing happens - which is inconceivable to the outsider. The murderer goes hundreds of miles to the capital to surrender to the police, confessing that he has murdered a fellow man and he needs to be punished...
... murder the way we murder, but that does not mean they are not cruel. They are far more cruel. In an aboriginal tribe, if somebody behaves in a way which is not in tune with the tribe, he is boycotted, completely boycotted. Nobody will speak to him. He cannot draw water from the tribe's well; he may have to go miles to fetch water for himself. He is left completely alone and isolated. He cannot ask for...
... any help in any trouble. If his hut catches fire, nobody from the tribe will come to help him to put the fire out. Once they have boycotted somebody, he does not exist for them. This is psychological murder - far more dangerous than sitting in an electric chair and within a second you are transported into another world. That is the simplest way, the most kind way. But this man will be in constant...
... Golden Temple, touch the feet of the high priest, confess his crime and accept whatsoever punishment is given. Resignation was difficult because if he resigns from the chief ministership, he will be killed immediately - the Sikhs will kill him; his own people will kill him because he has trespassed their holy place. And he was one of them. So he went to touch the feet of the priest and the priest said...
... reason, suddenly the car would take speed to a hundred miles an hour, and suddenly it would stop; then again it would speed and stop just to give me as much of a jolt as possible, to hit the painful back with the thick chain they had put on it. But it does not humiliate me. It was simply showing their stupidity. They could not prevent me from smiling. Everywhere people were standing by the side of the...
... Talmud outlawed the issue [or children] of a Gentile as that of a beast."(11) During the intifada uprising in Gaza in 1988, the world was horrified when Israeli soldiers buried alive four Palestinian youths. Yet the Talmud sanctions Jewish murder of Gentiles. The Talmud says "if a Jew throws his neighbor into a pit that contains a ladder, then hastens to remove the ladder, he is not liable for the...
... all the Jews of the Universe Extremism 001 National Prayer Network THE TALMUD: SCALPEL THAT BLEEDS THE MIDEAST (Reprint) By Rev. Ted Pike - 1 Sep 10 Editor Note: For centuries in polite society, it has been considered anti-Jewish to tell what Judaism's Talmud and Kabbalah plainly and repeatedly teach-that pious Jews have a duty to kill or assist the deaths of Gentiles, especially those who resist...
... that Bleeds the Mideast." THE TALMUD: SCALPEL THAT BLEEDS THE MIDEAST By Rev. Ted Pike - 13 Jan 06 In the Old Testament, God required the Hebrews to drive the wicked Canaanites from His promised land. Canaanite culture was saturated with infant sacrifice, ritual murder, sexual perversion, idolatry and occultism. God knew that a policy of zero tolerance toward Canaanite evil was the only way Hebrew...
... soldiers includes a summary of Ben Yohai's teaching: "In war when our forces storm the enemy, they are allowed and even enjoined by the Halakah to kill even good civilians, that is civilians who are ostensibly good."(17) The Talmud clearly does more than dehumanize Palestinians. It also dehumanizes the educated and religious Jews who are guided by its homicidal racism. The Talmud is the scalpel that...

A JEW WHO KILLS A CHRISTIAN COMMITS NO SIN, BUT OFFERS AN ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE TO GOD In Sepher Or Israel (177b) it says: "Take the life of the Kliphoth and kill them, and you will please God the same as one who offers incense to Him." And in Ialkut...
... Simoni (245c. n. 772) it says: "Everyone who sheds the blood of the impious is as acceptable to God as he who offers a sacrifice to God." VI. AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM, THE ONLY SACRIFICE NECESSARY IS THE EXTERMINATION OF CHRISTIANS In Zohar (III,227b) the Good Pastor says: "The only sacrifice required is that we remove the unclean from amongst us." Zohar (II, 43a), explaining...

THOSE WHO KILL CHRISTIANS SHALL HAVE A HIGH PLACE IN HEAVEN In Zohar (I,38b, and 39a) it says: "In the palaces of the fourth heaven are those who lamented over Sion and Jerusalem, and all those who destroyed idolatrous nations ... and those who killed off people who worship idols are clothed in purple garments so that they may be recognized and honored." VIII. JEWS MUST NEVER CEASE...
... TO EXTERMINATE THE GOIM; THEY MUST NEVER LEAVE THEM IN PEACE AND NEVER SUBMIT TO THEM In Hilkhoth Akum (X, 1) it says: "Do not eat with idolaters, nor permit them to worship their idols; for it is written: Make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them (Deuter. ch. 7, 2). Either turn away from their idols or kill them." Ibidem (X,7): "In places where Jews are strong, no idolater must be...
