... is a rare thing, you know that just before making love, if you have been fighting and angry and trying to kill each other, and then you make love, then the orgasm has a high peak such as can never be attained ordinarily. Because when energies move farther away - hate means energy is moving farther away - there comes a point when you have moved as far from each other as you were before you fell in...
... no moral code can be given. All moral codes kill you, they poison you. All commandments are poisonous, because they give you a fixed thing: Do this. But situations change. And in changing situations, the same thing is immoral. Morality and immorality are not commodities, things. They are not things, they are processes. And that is the subtlest point to be understood about life. People come to me...
... has become a sharing. You are patient because now you are enjoying life at its peak. Who bothers what others say? One is not concerned at all. A zen master was going to his temple after his morning walk with his disciple. A man came, hit him hard on the back with a staff, and ran away. The master did not even look back; he continued his walk. The disciple could not believe it. He said, 'What is the...
... matter with you? Are you mad? The man has hit so hard and he has escaped and you have not even looked back." The zen master said, 'That is his problem. How am I concerned with it? He must be mad, poor fellow. I feel much compassion for him. And I cannot look back, because he is already mad; my looking back may make him more mad. Already he will feel guilty back home; with my looking back he may...
... to push the mind aside. It will be there, you will be addicted. Trees will again become old, colors will not be so radiant, things will again become dull. The drug has killed you; it couldn't kill the mind. The drug can only give you a shock treatment. It is a shock to the whole body chemistry. In that shock, the old adjustment is broken. Gaps are there; through the gaps you can look, but this...
... cannot be made a practice. You cannot practice a drug. Sooner or later it becomes part of the mind; the mind takes over. Then everything is old again. Only meditation can kill the mind, nothing else. Meditation is mind suicide, mind committing suicide. If you can put the mind aside - without any chemicals, without any physical means - then YOU become the master. And when you are the master, everything...
...: if someone says something against Jesus and you are a Christian you will be ready to kill him, or be ready to be killed - it is a question of life and death. Someone says something against Mohammed, a Mohammedan gets mad. Just a word - 'Mohammed' is just a word, 'Jesus' is just a word - but people live by words. I have heard: Once Mulla Nasruddin caught hold of a man on the street and said, "I...
... no future. If there is no future you cannot dream, because dreams need space, time to move. That's why death looks so dangerous, because it allows no time to think. You cannot hope, because there is no tomorrow. Death does not kill you, it simply kills the tomorrow, and tomorrow has been your very existence. You have never lived today, you have been always postponing for tomorrow. And death kills...
... often happens that when life is pain and misery, we seek unconsciousness. This is why there is such a pull for alcohol all over the world. And no matter how much the preachers go on preaching against alcohol, it does not help people at all to stop drinking, because there is so much sorrow in his life, and the preachers' sermons do not in any way remove it. And the sorrow is so much that if a man...
... you may bestow your kindness; there is no one there whom you may serve. How will you become bad there? There is no one there you may call names or murder. You are alone there so the sin and virtue have both disappeared. Sin and virtue are coins of the society. So man first accumulates wealth, enlarges his bank balance; and with that too he announces only his ego: "Look how much wealth I have...
... hands. That creates fear, that creates a trembling inside. That makes you alert that you are coming to a dangerous place - one step more and you may be gone, and then you will never be able to find yourself again. The real work of the master is really murder: murder of that which you are not. The master takes away all that which is not really there, and strangely, gives you that which you have always...
...; They all gathered in the night when Columbus was sleeping, to kill him, and go back - because alive he was not going to go back. He was not a man to go back; he would rather fall into the eternal ditch. He was not the man to go back - even to say anything about it was impossible. But Columbus suspected that these people must be getting afraid. He himself was having doubts: three months were ending...
... remove a truck! A great miracle. People are dying... so many wars... so many people being killed - and he is not coming. Do you think those millions of Jews who were gassed in Germany - many of them were rabbis, very learned ones - were not praying? He comes to move a truck in the Muddy Ranch, and what about those millions of Jews and hundreds of rabbis being gassed, and he does not come at all? What...
... Nietzsche is an egoist. The very idea that God exists is not acceptable to him, because if God exists then the camel is standing by the side of the Himalayas. Then who is Nietzsche? Then nobody is anybody in particular. Then you have to drop the ego; then you cannot go on carrying it. It becomes utterly futile, foolish. It is better to kill God. Nietzsche is speaking for your egos; he represents your egos...
... party made its slow and solemn way through the pouring rain to the place of execution a few miles away. The executioner remarked, "Well, you're not very lucky with this storm and mud today, are you?" The sentenced man replied smilingly, "Oh, but you've got to go all the way back through it again!" You are so unconscious! You are not aware of what you are doing. You are not aware of...
... worshipped. The real Master's work is to become gradually useless for the disciple. Buddha says: If you meet me on the way, kill me immediately. The Master would not like to stand between you and the divine, and if the Master wants to stand between you and the divine he is not a Master at all. If he teaches you clinging, then he is teaching you the world; if he teaches you unclinging, then he teaches you...
... you. But he had gone astray. Now that he is coming back he needs to be received well so he can gain his dignity back, so he can again feel part of the family, so he can again feel the love, so he does not feel a stranger, so he does not feel that he has done anything wrong, so he does not feel guilty. To remove his guilt this feast is arranged. You don't have any guilt, hence no feast is needed...
... can hit you, because there is nobody inside to be hit. Then if you hate me, your arrow will pass through me. It cannot strike because there is nobody. You cannot make a target of me. Whether you love me or hate me, you cannot make a target of me. So it makes no difference. And I don't do anything, I just remain myself. One day Mulla Nasrudin was saying to me, "Yes, I used to be in politics...
