... blissful, then of course they become more and more suspicious of their life-style, more and more doubtful - and nobody wants to live in doubt. And it is easier to kill the person, to destroy the person, than to destroy your doubts. It is easier to remove the buddha, to murder the buddha, than to become conscious. Christians have never been able to explain why Jesus was crucified, and they have found all...
... will do. They will sit in a movie house for three hours seeing something utterly stupid. They will read a detective novel for hours, wasting their time. They will read the same newspaper again and again just to keep themselves engaged. They will play cards and chess just to kill time - as if they have too much time! We don't have too much time; we don't have time enough to grow, to be, to rejoice...
... may look very loving to you, but his love is poisonous. He may be very sweet, but his sweetness is nothing but sugarcoated poison. The real master is one who helps you to be yourself, who helps you to be free - even free of himself. The Zen people say: If you meet the Buddha on the way, kill him! And they worship Buddha, and still they say: If you meet the Buddha on the way, kill him! They are...
...: consciousness is only a by-product of matter, an epiphenomenon. So when you kill a person you are not killing anybody - there is nobody inside; a man is just matter. This was a great help for the murderer, Joseph Stalin. If there is nobody inside, you are not committing any crime, and when YOU die YOU will die: there is not going to be any afterlife and there is not going to be any Judgment Day. People can...
... sweet medicine may kill you: it is not your need. I am a physician, I am trying to help you to come out of your diseases. You may not be too interested in coming out of your diseases, but that is my only interest. I am not interested in anything else. You may be simply hankering for sympathy. Sympathy is poison and has to be used only when poison is needed. Sometimes a ill person needs poison too...
... ask: WHY HAVE YOU BECOME SO HARD ON OLD DISCIPLES? That's what the old disciple is for. You have graduated. Ananda Prem. Gramya will also graduate - wait! The older you are, the harder I will be; because I hope that you will have become more capable. I hope that now you will be able to receive greater shocks. Naturally, when a new disciple comes, I cannot hit him very hard. I have to be very...
... cautious, I go slowly. The closer and closer the disciple comes to me, the more and more I can become certain when the moment is and the disciple can be hit hard. Because deep down the whole function of a Master is to behead you. The Master is a sword. Says Jesus. 'I have not brought peace into the world, I have brought a sword. Buddhists have given a special name for it, they have called it...
... to you. You ask: AND, OSHO, DON'T YOU LOVE ME ANY MORE? Now I have started loving you, Ananda Prem, hence the thousand-pound sledge hammer. And when I love you even more I will have to take even weightier hammers. Otherwise why should I bother to hit you at all? For what profit? By hitting you there are only two possibilities: either you receive it and you become more understanding, or you escape...
... one's own life. A man came to me and he said, 'What to do Osho? I have fallen in love with two women.' Now one is enough, one will do enough harm but he has fallen in love with two women. So both are struggling and he is crushed. And he says, 'I am in misery. ,Both are fighting over me.' And naturally from both the sides he is being hit. And if I say to him, 'Choose one,' he says that it is difficult...
... into your life you will find how unintelligently you have been behaving. You read a book and you accumu-late knowledge and you start thinking that you know. You have learned the word 'God' and you think you have known God. You are ready to argue - not only argue, you are ready to kill and be killed. How many Mohammedans, how many Hindus, how many Christians have been killed for something they have...
... things would disappear from the world if people were intelligent; almost ninety-nine per cent of things would disappear. War would not be possible. On the earth, war is almost the major work of humanity - it has been for centuries. Seventy per cent of money is wasted on war - seventy per cent! What are you doing? Simply preparing for war? You don't know anything else. You know only how to kill. People...
.... Intellectually he is not an Albert Einstein - he compares himself with giants - psychologically he is not a Sigmund Freud.... If you compare yourself with the giants of humanity you are bound to feel completely shrunk, worthless. This worthlessness can be removed in two ways: one is religion, the other is politics. Politics does not really remove it, only covers it. It is the same sick man, the same man who...
... airplanes continually? Money must be coming from somewhere, and he has no visible source. My feeling is that Jugal Kisore was not lying." Indira mentioned this to Jaiprakash: "Do you get a salary every month from the Birla house?" And that was the thing that hit him hard; that was when he decided that Indira could no longer be tolerated. He willingly became a partner of Morarji Desai's and...
... against women. Perhaps the bitterness was created by the monks and the priests, and the respect was created by the religious people. Immediately Alexander's wife asked, "Now you are my brother, and I hope that you will save me, but the only way to save me is not to kill Alexander. Would you like your sister to remain a widow all her life?" Poras said, "There is no question about it. You...
... his feet on Alexander - and Alexander would have been finished. And just by habit Poras pulled out his spear and was going to kill Alexander, when he saw the thread on his wrist. He put his spear back, told the mahout, the man who guides the elephant, "Move away... and inform Alexander that I will not kill him." That was the moment when Alexander would have been killed, and all his desire...
... - do you recognize it? You had sent this thread with your wife; now she is my sister, and I cannot kill my own brother-in- law. It is not possible for me to make her a widow. I chose to be defeated rather than to kill you. But there is no need for you to feel obliged towards me; this is just how a really centered man should behave." So in the past it was possible because of the monarchy. But...
... certain power, not of the same category but of a higher category. They can kill me but they cannot kill my truth. And my truth is more important to me than my life, because my life is going to end anyway. If it ends in the service of truth then it will have a certain eternity about it, because truth cannot be killed. You can crucify a Jesus, but how can you crucify this man's truth? If he had any truth...
... brought before the court. There was no problem because he accepted that he had committed the murder. The judge asked him, "Would you like an advocate to plead for you?" He said, "No, because there is no question: I have committed murder and these people who have caught me and brought me here are my witnesses. There is no case at all - I have committed murder. Give me the punishment."...
... with full awareness of the consequences. And these people are just foolish; they were unnecessarily troubling themselves - I was coming to the court myself to declare that I had committed murder. Now what is the punishment?" The judge said, "I will give you only ten years in jail, although the maximum punishment is death. This is the minimum; less than that I cannot support." The man...
... said, "It is perfectly right - don't be unhappy about it. But one thing I want to say: the murder was done by my hands, not by me. You can imprison my hands but you cannot imprison me. You have no charge against me. My hands, you can see, are still covered with blood." The magistrate thought, This man is really something! But he said, "Okay, I will sentence both your hands for ten...
... something is to kin it. The very effort of knowing is an effort to kill. Hence whatsoever science knows is about dead things. Now even scientists are becoming aware of the fact. When blood is taken out of your body and is examined, analyzed, it is no more the same blood as it was when it was circulating in your body. Then it was alive; then it was an organic part of your life. Now it is not the same. It...
... journalist died and reached heaven. St. Peter opened the door and told the journalist, "Please, our quota for journalists is fun. We have only twelve journalists in heaven, not more than that. Even those twelve are almost always unemployed, because there is no news. Nothing happens!" What will happen in heaven? No riot, no rape, no politicians, no toppling of governments, no divorces, no murder...
... the TV. Not only that - they will even mae love just before the TV so they can do both the things, making love and watching the TV, because something may be missed! Now these idiots are in the majority. And they will play cards and if you ask why they will say, "Killing time." One minute the train is late and they are angry, and then what do they do with the saved time? They kill it! Going...
... to the movie, killing time... sometimes going to see the same picture again! Stupidity seems to be infinite. Now what are you going for? The same picture again? But the time has to be killed. They will go to the Rotary Club, to the I,ions Club. And all these clubs exist for people to kill time, to meet the same fools, to say the same foolish things, to gossip about the same old nonsense - to kill...
... time. They will go to the restaurants, to the hotels, to the parties - to kill time. And look at their faces - they are bored everywhere. Whatsoever they are doing they are bored, obviously, because they are not into it. They are trying somehow to finish it to save time, And then they have to kill time. Killing time, saving time, killing time, saving time.... The whole li& is gone! And you come...
... whether he is called Robert, or Ram or Raheem? It makes no difference. But it is easier - if the man is called Raheem you know he is a Mohammedan. And if you are a Hindu, now there is a conflict. Now you can avoid this man; this is not of worth. It is dangerous. Now you can remain alert: "This is a Mohammedan; he must be carrying a knife, and he may kill you!" Or if he is Ram, you are very...
..., they will choose business. A Jew was caught red-handed with a gun in his hand. He was going to kill a man: the man was making love to his wife. The magistrate asked, "Your gun was loaded, then why didn't you really kill him? Were you simply pretending or something?" The man said, "When I took my gun and I was just about to kill him, this man asked, 'How much will you take for the gun...
...?' Now, how can you kill a man who is talking business?" A Jew is a Jew: how can you kill a man when he is talking business? Then you forget all about the wife, that he was making love to the wife, when business comes. There are people for whom politics is more important than love - money, respectability, morality; a thousand things are there for a man. But a woman loves. She loves totally - that...
... dangerous. Never provoke a woman. If you provoke a man he will follow some rules and regulations of fight and war; a woman does not follow these. She simply will jump upon you and tear you, bite you, kill you - she will not follow any rules. She does not know them. Her man is not trained at all: when he explodes, he simply explodes. Both of these are together in you. What does the seeker have to do, what...
... discipline is not misused. You can see "yogis" displaying their power. That is impossible for a yogi, because if the yogi has really fulfilled these five vows he will no longer be an exhibitionist; he cannot display. He can no longer try to play with miracles -- that is not possible for him. Miracles happen around him, but he is not the doer. These five vows kill your ego completely. Either the...
... day. It may kill neighbors; it may kill you yourself. This is the first thing to be understood. The second thing: the other day Narendra asked a question, a very relevant one. He said, "In Sanskrit yam means death and yam also means inner discipline. Is there any correlation between the two, death and inner discipline?" There is. That too has to be understood. Sanskrit is a very potential...
... move in the rainy season because in the rainy season many insects and many flies, many ants, are born, and everywhere life is alive. If you move on wet ground there is a possibility.... It is said that a Jain monk should not even turn his side in the night while asleep, because if you turn your side too many times you may kill a few insects; you should remain on one side. This is moving to the...
... extreme. This is moving to absurdity. So remember, people have used nonviolence against life. And nonviolence means such a deep love of life that you cannot kill: you love life so much that you will not like to hurt anybody. It is deep love, not rejection. Of course, in being alive a little violence is a must, but that is not violence, because you are not doing it willfully. So remember, only that is...
... -- impossible. If you live in such total fear that everything seems to be wrong, you are surrounded by guilt and guilt and nothing else, and whatsoever you do is sin more or less.... Even to speak a word is to commit sin because when you speak, more hot air comes out of the mouth: it kills thousands of small microbes. You drink water and you kill; you cannot avoid. Then what to do? Patanjali is not against...
... observed, whenever you feel afraid something hits you just near the navel? There is the center of death and deathlessness. When the energy passes to that center, comes to that level, you feel deathless. If somebody even kills you, you know that you are not being killed: "Na hanyate hanyamane sharire" -- "By killing the body you cannot kill the soul." Then the energy goes higher, comes...
... murder, to kill. The first thing that comes to a woman in anger is to commit suicide, to destroy oneself. Have you seen husbands and wives fighting? The husband starts beating the wife; the wife starts beating herself. The functioning is different. But a perfect man needs to have a synthesis of both the energies - solar and lunar. When both the energies are fifty-fifty and balanced, one attains to...
... hara, just two inches below the navel. If you hit hard there, you will die. Not even a single drop of blood will come out, and you will die. And there will be no pain. That's why Japanese can die so easily; nobody else can do that. They simply strike a knife into the hara - but they know exactly where it is - and they disappear. The body is disconnected from the soul. The moon center is the death...
... angry, he would like to hit; if a woman becomes angry, she will talk and nag and... but she will not hit. She is not aggressive; she is passive. I have heard one anecdote: A woman lecturer was going great guns. "Yes," she cried, "women have suffered in a thousand ways!" She paused for effect. A meek little man in the front row raised his hand. "I know one way in which they...
... moon energy, if life is not going well, becomes sad. The sun energy, if life is not going good, becomes angry. So women become sad; men become angry. If a man feels something is wrong, he would like to do something about it. A woman will wait. If a man is angry, he would like to kill somebody. If a woman is angry, she would like to commit suicide. The first thing that comes to a man in anger is to...
... sometimes you do such hard work, and nothing succeeds; everything fails. Your arrangement is not right. You are functioning through a wrong center. When a warrior goes to the war, to the war front, he should go when the death center is in his hands. Then... then he can kill very easily. Then he is death incarnate. That is what is the meaning of an "evil eye": the man whose death center has got...
... in a gross way, and if you watch your body you will see that the body also functions as a mind. You are fast asleep, and a fly comes and hangs around your face - you remove it with your hand without in any way getting up or waking up. The body functioned, very mindfully. Or something starts crawling on your feet - you throw it away. Fast asleep. You will not remember in the morning. The body...
... purusha, pure consciousness, and sattva, pure intelligence...." Language belongs to sattva, theories belong to sattva, philosophies belong to sattva. Sattva means your intelligence, your mind. Mind is not you. Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, belong to the mind. That's why Buddhist monks say, "If you meet Buddha on the way, kill him immediately." Buddhist monks saying that? They...
... say, "Kill the Buddha if you see him, immediately." They are saying, "Kill the mind, don't carry a theory about the Buddha; otherwise you will never become a Buddha. If you want to become a Buddha, drop all ideas about Buddha - all ideas. Kill Buddha immediately!" They say, "If you utter the name of Buddha, immediately wash and rinse your mouth - the word is dirty."...
... want to see the real moon, you will have to move away from the reflection - you will have to burn scriptures and you will have to kill Buddhas. You will have to move in the very opposite, diametrically opposite, dimension. Then your head moves towards the moon; then you cannot see the reflection. The reflection disappears. All scriptures at the most can train and discipline your intelligence. No...
... the world. And yoga is not against bliss - you are against bliss. And yoga wants you to drop the world so all limitations can be dropped and you can become unlimited in your being, in your experiencing. THESE ARE POWERS WHEN THE MIND IS TURNED OUTWARD, BUT OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF SAMADHI. But Patanjali is always aware to tell you again and again - he goes on hammering the point to hit it home - that...
... inside the cupboard. You can imagine what happened to the young man. He wanted to kill his father! But he had no hope that he would ever see him again. He would go directly to jail for his whole life. It was such an unfortunate moment that he had asked... but now nothing could be done. The whole house was awake. Servants were running here and there, and they found the hole in the wall. It was certain a...
... waiting for? He is dying, and he has a promise to fulfill. So you go and ask him." She asked. Ramakrishna closed his eyes. This time there were no tears, no ecstasy. He was simply calm and quiet, and then he opened his eyes and said, "Sharda, you will have to forgive me, I cannot fulfill your demand. The reason is, I have asked the ultimate reality to remove this cancer because my people are...
... that he would kill one thousand people and cut off their heads. And just to remember how many he had finished off, he would also cut from each, one finger. And out of those fingers he made a garland - just to keep count. He was not very educated. One thousand was a big number. And it would take years to kill one thousand people. He moved outside the city and he killed many people, almost nine hundred...
.... But as Gautam Buddha came closer, he saw the man - he saw the beauty of the man, he saw the peace and the love and the compassion of the man. And even the man who had killed nine hundred and ninety-nine people without any consideration, hesitated: "This man is not worth killing. The world needs this type of man more and more. I am a sinner, a murderer, but I am not so fallen as to kill this...
... you are no ordinary man. I have killed kings, but I have never seen such beauty and such radiance; I have never seen such eyes so penetrating. You are unique. Please listen to me and go back. Don't force me to kill you." Gautam Buddha said, "Angulimal, you are wrong. I stopped moving almost thirty years back. The day my mind stopped, all movement stopped. It is desire that keeps people...
... are not. I hit only when I see somebody is carrying a big ego - it needs to be punctured. But you don't have any ego - you need not be afraid of me. I have never hurt anybody unless I see that somebody is carrying a dangerous, canceric ego with him. Then I have to cut that ego. And of course the job of a spiritual surgeon is a thankless job. Your fear is out of your conditioning. I was hitting the...
