If you are destroying one country, we will destroy two countries. It means that we are ready to destroy everything, but we cannot remain behind. Who is creating this situation? It is all due to our education. But we are blind and we are not...

Go in the direction he asks. If he asks you to sit, sit; if he asks you to stand up, stand up. This is the type of discipline so far. But it is a conspiracy to kill man so that no consciousness, no awareness and no...

If you tell him to kill someone, he kills. He has ceased to be a man, he has become a machine. Is this called discipline? And we wish that there should be this discipline in children also. So we give the children cadet training...

Discipline means that a man becomes dead through it. The more disciplined a man is, the more dead he is. Then do I tell you to ask your students to rebel and jump up and fight in schools, or that they should not allow others to learn? No, I...

... Pakistan could ask the Pakistani youth to go and kill the Indian people? Or could any Indian politician ask the Indian youth to go and kill Pakistani people? They will immediately ask the politicians to stop such foolish talk. They will say, "This is an unintelligent idea and we cannot do it." But at present, the idiots have been taught discipline and if they are asked to kill they do, because...

And I can see the point, and you know it, that on the board will be David Washington, so nobody knows that I am here in the jail. So whatever you want to do with me, even if you want to kill me you can...

She immediately informed the press media, which was all around the jail as she was released, so tomorrow morning immediately it was all over the press, radio, television, that they are trying this strategy. So that even if they kill me, nobody can find where I disappeared. As they saw that it is already on the television and already in the...

So my health they have put backwards, but I am recovering. It is not - because these diseases are not something that can kill somebody, just you...

So this was the first vegetarian community which was using eggs, non-fertilized, and making vegetarian food complete. Now there is no need to be in any way eat meat and kill living people, living animals. Seeing the commune, the American...

With my both hands chained, the world should know what America really is. But they did not come to the commune. They were afraid that to arrest me will mean to kill five thousand sannyasins. Without that they will not be able to arrest me. And this will be a great...

And these were efforts that they wanted their physician to be replaced, who can inject me any time. They wanted their caretaker to take care of me. And she was persistently against that I should start speaking. I said, I am a man of the moment. When I wanted to go in silence, I went. Now...

It is considered threatening because if there are twenty people sad, frustrated, and you are smiling and joyful, you will be considered threatening. Those twenty people will kill you. They will see you, you have gone mad. Why are you smiling? Meditation...

... BLOCKED, IMPAIRED, HESITANT AND AFRAID. EVEN IN SANNYAS, I HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY HIT FOR BEING JUDGMENTAL WHEN OFTEN I FELT MY STATEMENTS WERE RELEVANT AND VALID. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUDGMENT, DISCRIMINATION, AND TRUE CLARITY? AND HOW IS A CHILD, OR A FORTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD MAN, TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE? WOULD YOU PLEASE COMMENT? Mind cannot be nonjudgmental. If you force it to be nonjudgmental...

Even murder is valuable because that means they are giving their daughter to a man who is capable of everything, including murder.

The principal used to tell me, "Just open your hand," and he would hit my...

Now give me...

He will see that you are not there in your technique; if you are an archer you may hit the target perfectly, but that is not the point. Even a prostitute brings you to orgasm, she hits the target as perfectly as possible, sometimes even more perfectly than your own beloved; but that is not the point -- because although a...

... person remains incomplete, a technique can easily become complete. A person remains incomplete unless he becomes enlightened. You cannot expect perfection from a person before enlightenment, but you can expect perfection in a skill. You cannot expect perfection in the being, but in the doing it can be expected, there is no problem about it. An archer can hit the target without ever missing it -- and...

Herrigel, a German seeker, worked for three years with his master in Japan. He was an archer, when he reached Japan he was already an archer, and a perfect one, because a hundred percent of his targets were hit by the arrow; there was no question of it. When he arrived he was...

It may be invisible, but it will be there. For all outward purposes you may have hit the target, but for inward purposes you have missed. How can you hit the target? So the basic thing is not to hit the target, the basic thing is to attain...

This is the difference between the art of shooting and the art of non-shooting. It is possible that this master, old master, may miss the target, it is possible; but still, he knows the art of non-shooting. Lieh-Tzu will never miss the target, but still he has missed the...

Kavita is a breath therapist here; that may be the cause of the whole trouble. If you are a therapist...

The eighth question: OSHO, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OPTIMIST AND A PESSIMIST? Suriyo, NOT MUCH. An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. A pessimist fears this is true. The ninth question: OSHO, CAN I COUNT ON YOU TO KILL...

Your desire is good, but it is only a desire. You will have to deserve it. Just last night I killed Magga. Now she is crying, not understanding what has happened. She was a medium; suddenly I dropped her. It is ego...

A Master is needed only because you cannot kill your own ego, it is a difficult task. It can be done, but it is a very difficult task. It is almost like pulling yourself up by pulling your shoestrings. It is difficult; some help is needed. Some help can be given, but it can be given only...

... would not kill him; that way they would look very compassionate. They would not crucify him; there is no need to crucify now. He would be put in a mental hospital where he would be given treatment along with the mad people; that would be far more dangerous. Socrates being treated in a madhouse would be far more disrespectful. At least the Greeks were respectful: they poisoned him - that's okay. If you...

... don't agree with the man and the man is not ready to agree with you, you kill him! It seems perfectly okay. But to make him a madman and then torture him and slowly slowly destroy his whole mechanism of thinking, his whole brain system, to operate on his brain and do damage to his brain, that is ugly. That's what is happening in Russia. Russians are beautiful people, Devendra, but they are living...

Ahabah raised an objection: 'Two [capital] cases may not be tried in one day; not even that of an adulterer and his paramour'? [17] R. Hisda explained this as referring to the...

All the more so cases involving two different modes of execution may certainly not be tried on the same day. But in the...
