... said about the nonmaterial character of the kingdom, he could not wholly remove from the minds of his Jewish hearers the idea that the Messiah was to establish some kind of nationalistic government with headquarters at Jerusalem. (1867.3) 171:0.3 What Jesus said in his Sabbath sermon only tended to confuse the majority of his followers; very few were enlightened by the Master’s discourse. The leaders...
...; that they will condemn him and then deliver him into the hands of the gentiles. And so will they mock the Son of Man, even spit upon him and scourge him, and they will deliver him up to death. And when they kill the Son of Man, be not dismayed, for I declare that on the third day he shall rise. Take heed to yourselves and remember that I have forewarned you.” (1871.5) 171:4.3 Again were the apostles...
... Jesus and said: “Flee in haste from these parts, for Herod, just as he sought John, now seeks to kill you. He fears an uprising of the people and has decided to kill you. We bring you this warning that you may escape.” (1872.2) 171:4.5 And this was partly true. The resurrection of Lazarus frightened and alarmed Herod, and knowing that the Sanhedrin had dared to condemn Jesus, even in advance of a...
... trial, Herod made up his mind either to kill Jesus or to drive him out of his domains. He really desired to do the latter since he so feared him that he hoped he would not be compelled to execute him. (1872.3) 171:4.6 When Jesus heard what the Pharisees had to say, he replied: “I well know about Herod and his fear of this gospel of the kingdom. But, mistake not, he would much prefer that the Son of...
... ways may look very soft but what I am doing is simply destroying your ego, your hypocrisy, your personality, so that you can discover your authentic individuality. It is hard work, because you are identified with your personality. The moment I hit your personality, you immediately feel as if you have been hit. You have not been hit. Your personality is your enemy. And only those who are ready to see...
... only way is forward. So why be bothered with the past? Your father may have done something to you. Every father does something to every child. He has to; otherwise those children will kill him. They will destroy the house, they will set it on fire - they can do anything! Every father has to be a strict disciplinarian. And that is what creates resentment, because he cuts your freedom. He tries to make...
... suicide, where AIDS is spreading like wildfire. My communes will be the only refuge where we can prevent AIDS, where we can promote a great world movement of meditation, silence and peace - and destroy the mad dreams of politicians to kill all life on this earth. Question 4: BELOVED OSHO, THE OTHER MORNING I WOKE UP WITH THESE WORDS ON MY MIND: "I'M GOING TO SQUEEZE THE JUICE, THE WHOLE JUICE, AND...
... of people and taking them to the marketplace. They saw this man and discussed among themselves: "This man will fetch a good price, perhaps the best ever. But he seems to be too strong even for four persons. He will kill us if we try to catch hold of him; he looks dangerous." And Diogenes was listening because they were discussing what to do just behind the bushes. Diogenes said, "You...
... may turn, or jump and hit somebody." They kept their distance. Diogenes said, "Don't be afraid! Just stay close! Are you taking me to the marketplace or am I taking you?" With great fear they came close to him. And in the marketplace where people, men and women, were auctioned, Diogenes jumped on the table and shouted at the crowd that had come to purchase people, "Here is a...
...? Just tell me yourself, what is the problem?" He was a very well-known criminal lawyer. The man said to him, "Twenty-five years ago, remember, I had come to you to ask that if I kill my wife, how much imprisonment...? And you told me, 'At least twenty-five years. Even though I try my hardest, you will go for twenty-five years, so don't do such a thing.' Now twenty-five years have passed, and...
... I am feeling that today I would have been free. If I had not listened to you, you idiot, today I would have come out of the jail. Now there is no hope. I lived with a woman for these twenty-five years whom I wanted to kill." But everybody is living with things which they wanted to drop. It is not only a question of a woman or a man. But they go on living with them; it seems risky to drop...
... want to try something new. You see that local couple coming down the street? Go and insult the wife. Then, when the man goes to hit you, we will start rolling the camera. It will be pure realism!" Hunk shrugs and walks up to the couple, who turn out to be Paddy and Maureen O'Murphy, doing their shopping. "Hey, buddy, is this lady your wife?" asks Hunk sternly. "Yes," replies...
... is no evidence; you cannot murder an innocent man. But power is blind, and when blind power becomes revengeful then it is absolutely destructive. I am not concerned that one man has been hanged. My concern is, as a citizen of this country, that hanging an innocent man is hanging justice itself, is hanging democracy, freedom of individuality, freedom of expression - even freedom to be innocent! And...
.... It seems the whole country has been castrated. But I protest with my whole heart! In the first place, death is not a right way of punishment, even to the person who has murdered somebody. This is the law of the jungle, an eye for an eye. It is not justice. The man has murdered somebody, and you murder the man! Can blood wash your hands which are full of blood? And as far as talking is concerned...
..., all the leaders, all the politicians go on talking about beautiful things, giving hope and consolation to the masses, but the fact is that there is no law, no constitution. If you can murder an innocent man you can do anything - and the country will remain silent. But I, as an individual, alone, protest this murder of the innocent man. Secondly, all these past few days I have been exposing Indian...
... inconsistent or self-contradictory it does not become self- contradictory or inconsistent. And he says that there are repetitions in the book. Yes, there are repetitions because it is not a written book. These are lectures, running for months, and one has to understand that a written book is different. When a person is writing, he can cut; he can remove some passages if there is any tautology, any repetition...
... values - where no money, no power, no respectability is of any help - are you entering into authentic life. And the flavor of that life is love. Because man is so much accustomed to purchasing everything, he forgets that the very effort to purchase something that cannot be purchased is a murder. A husband demands love from his wife because he has purchased her, and the same is true about the wife. But...
... something which is priceless. Do you have something in your life which is priceless? People are selling even their lives. What are your soldiers? - and their number must be millions all around the earth. They have sold themselves. Their only function is to kill and be killed. But as far as I can see, that is not important; they have killed themselves the day they sold themselves. They may be still...
... you cannot possess it either. In your deep sleep, you even possess your children without ever becoming aware that the very possession - "This is my child" - is a murder. Children come through you, but they belong to the universe. You are just a passage. But you make every effort that your child should have your family name, your religion, your political ideology. He should be just an...
... and the prime ministers - they don't have any souls; otherwise it is impossible for a man like Josef Stalin to kill one million Russians. And these were not capitalists - Russia has never been so rich - these were poor people, but they wanted not to be possessed by anyone and they were rebelling against slavery. First the czars were killing them for centuries, but Stalin outdid all the czars. But...
... whiteness is basically a great synthesis of all the colors of life. And if you remove all the colors, then there is blackness. Blackness is negativity, blackness is no. Blackness is death. Whiteness is positivity, whiteness is yes, whiteness is God. Whiteness is love. HE KNEADS YOU UNTIL YOU ARE PLIANT; AND THEN HE ASSIGNS YOU TO HIS SACRED FIRE, THAT YOU MAY BECOME SACRED BREAD FOR GOD'S SACRED FEAST...
... have brought with you. Just look at my kripan." And I took away his knife. He asked, "What are you doing?" I said, "If you speak another word - just one hit of the kripan, you will lose your head." He said, "You seem to be insane. I have not done anything wrong and you are ready to kill me!" I said, "It is not a question of right or wrong. It is a question of...
... wrong means give you a shortcut. I used to know a student... I was a teacher in the university. On examination days, no teacher was ready to be in the hall where that student was given a place, because that student was almost murderous - at any moment he could murder somebody. What he used to do was this: he would come with a knife into the examination hall, and he would put his knife on the desk so...
... - he was a Sikh. I asked him, "You give me your kripan." It was a big, special kind of sword, far more dangerous than any other sword. Just one hit and the head is off! He asked, "What are you going to do with the sword?" I said, "I am trying to teach him to be a Sikh." He said, "That is good. Vah guruji ki fatah. Vah guruji ka khalsa." That is the mantra of...
... said, "I am sorry that I asked you to be the examiner here. Just forgive me, don't do such a thing!" I said, "There is no other way to teach that idiot a lesson. Because all the professors you have been sending here were so afraid of his knife, now nobody is ready to come. What can he do? - at the most he can kill you, so I have brought a bigger kripan." But this is what the...
... self-illumination whatever the cost; only then can I go back." But trying to put the young man into hardships, the old master was himself also trying to do the same. He was also terribly tired. Finally, he had a nervous breakdown. The young man said, "What is the matter?" The old man said, "To be honest with you - I have to be honest, otherwise you will kill me - you are young and...
... are such a rascal that you really followed, and you are still bent upon following me - that means you will kill me." The young man said, "But what about self-illumination?" The master said, "I have forgotten all. I don't know who I am. I don't know what self-illumination is. I just pray to you to leave me in peace. I will never bother you again, but don't disturb my business in...
... given. It happened one day that one monk was coming back and some bird dropped a piece of meat in his bowl. Now a great problem arose for him because Buddha had said, "Nothing should be rejected from the bowl. Whatsoever is in the bowl you have to eat it all." And he had also said, "You should not eat meat, you should not kill for eating." He came in front of Buddha, and in front...
..., particularly for the times in which we are living. Don't be life destructive. Just for your taste, don't kill animals. It does not matter whether you yourself kill, or somebody else kills it for you. If you want the silent meditation that Gautam Buddha has given to the world, vipassana, you have to be vegetarian. A non-vegetarian will find it very difficult, because the meditation is for a very sensitive...
..., slowly Western society has accepted the idea. Now there is no resistance against it. If you say to someone that you hate your father, that you wanted to make love to your mother, he will accept it. But if you say that to a Japanese, either he will kill himself or he will kill you -- those are the only two alternatives. He will immediately challenge you to a fight because it is absolutely inconceivable...
... to a Japanese that he has even dreamt of making love to his mother or he was jealous of his father; that he was antagonistic and hated his father, that he wanted to kill his father. Because the Japanese conditioning is that the very idea, even the idea of being disrespectful to your father is enough to feel so ashamed that you don't have any worth even to live a single moment more. Hara-kiri...
..., suicide is the only way. In Japan millions of people down the ages have committed suicide over such small matters that you cannot conceive. Rarely, once in a while, somebody commits suicide, but you can see that he has reasons: his business went bankrupt, his wife eloped, he was the richest man and now he has to live like a beggar on the street. It is so against his ego that he would rather kill himself...
... have learned from Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler. And they think they are talking very sensible things, but to the Japanese... He immediately stands up saying, "Take your words back! What do you think of me?... I wanted to make love to my mother? I will kill myself, even if the idea happens to me. Even if I dream it in the night, in the morning I will finish myself. What...
... years time not a single crime has been committed - no rape, no murder, no suicide, not a single man has gone mad. And these are the American ways of life - rape, murder, suicide, madness. In five thousand people not a single man is a beggar. America has thirty million street people. They don't have any roof, they don't have floors, they don't have bread for tomorrow; and they are the source of all...
...: YOU HAVE SAID THAT THEY WANTED TO KILL YOU. THERE WAS A BOMB INCIDENT IN THE JAIL, YOU KNOW. A: Yes. Q: NOW, IN THE JAIL THEY REALLY WANTED TO KILL YOU? A: It seems. Q: BUT WAS THERE SOME OTHER INCIDENTS ALSO TO ESTABLISH THE FACT THAT THEY WANTED TO KILL YOU? A: Yes. There are other incidents also - looking backwards after this bomb. They knew my back is a problem. They were driving me in such a...
... before I hit him? Who can see my intention? Now how you can prove that I had the intention to stay in America? Unless you can read minds, there is no way to prove about intentions. And the court can act upon actions, not upon intentions. Because there are millions of people with intentions to murder, people with intentions to commit suicide. But you cannot bring them under crime. It is my joy, I can...
... pleasure with money. These ugly marriages lead people to become drunkards, these ugly marriages make people to commit suicide, to murder, and between these husbands and wives are growing your children, who are watching every scene. And they are learning that this is what life is all about. They will repeat the same thing in their own way. So generation to generation ugliness goes on as an inheritance. I...
... rupees, because I have been marriaging people. Only these two were their points, that when I came from India I had the intention to stay here. I was perfectly ready. I argued with my attorneys that you are not giving me chance. These both are stupid arguments. Nobody can see my intention. I can ask the judge, I am standing before you. See my intention. And I can hit the U.S. Attorney. Had you seen it...
... visiting." Children will grow faster, learn faster, have a wider experience of humanity; and it will be impossible to put them against anybody. Just because you are a Hindu, you have to kill the Mohammedan. That will be impossible. The third point; we abandoned money in the society, in the commune. Money should not be used in the commune. You use whatever commune can supply, and commune will try to...
