..., you have to protect it. A day comes when the tree has become strong enough; you remove all protection. It can protect itself. With the mind the problem is that there is nobody to remove it. The society creates it, the parents create it, the society, the college, the university create it, and there is nobody to help to uncreate it. That's the function of a Master. And the world has become VERY poor...
... moments when the layer of unawareness is very thin. There is a question from Anup. He asks, "Why don't you hit me, Osho?" You are very thick, Anup. Hitting won't do. I'm waiting. You have great shock-absorbers around you, buffers upon buffers. I'm waiting. And you are gathering more buffers rather than dropping them. Your being here is not total. Your being here is just so-so, lukewarm. You...
... now, you don't have eyes. Sudesh says, "Things around you are not right. They are topsy-turvy." They are managed that way by me. Passing through them, accepting them, is coming closer to me. That will help you to grow in trust. If you cannot grow then it is better to leave. Give your place to somebody else. Anup asks me again and again why I don't hit him. You have to be worthy of it. The...
... hit is not cheap, it is costly. I don't go on hitting everybody and anybody. I hit only when I see that now the layer is so thin, just a small hit and the clouds will disappear. Enlightenment can happen any place, can happen any moment. You just have to allow it to happen. It is not a question of place and time, it is a question of your allowing it. A parable, a modern Zen parable. You will not find...
... the capability to kill and be killed, no, courage means the capacity to live and to live your own life according to your own heart. And strength does not mean the capacity of violence strength means the capacity to understand, the capacity to know, the capacity to love, the capacity to be open. When somebody hits you it is not strength to hit him back it is very simple, anybody can do it. Even a...
... that they cannot even be translated into each other. Impossible. They are not only two languages, they are two different planes, two different worlds, two separate realities. In a way the king is sincere, he is showing his real face. THE KING STAMPED HIS FOOT, COUGHED AND SAID FIERCELY, 'WHAT PLEASES ME IS COURAGE AND STRENGTH.' Why courage? Why have people talked so much about courage? - to kill...
... child can do it. But when somebody hits you and you don't hit back, it is strength. When Jesus was crucified and he prayed to God, 'Father, forgive these people because they don't know what they are doing,' it is strength - the strength of the meek, the power of the humble. Remember, the same word, if used by different people, becomes different. In fact, there should be different dictionaries...
... right thing? It is very difficult to be ready to hear the truth. It shatters, it confuses, it uproots, it shocks, it dismantles, it destroys your prejudices, it hits you hard. In fact, it tries to kill you as you have existed up to now. That's why very rare people are ready to hear the truth. If I were to talk in terms of lies you would find millions of people around here. I was talking to thousands...
... certain art so nobody can stab you, or, even if he does, he will miss.' Now he sees that the king is ready. persuaded. The king says, 'EXCELLENT! THIS IS THE SORT OF THING I LIKE TO HEAR.' Now he moves ahead. He says, 'But even if a stab or blow misses it is still humiliating for you. If somebody tries to kill you. even though he misses, the effort on your life is humiliating. I can do something for...
... that he would be poisoned - he looked at Socrates and said, 'What do you say?' Socrates laughed and he said, 'Remember one thing: for thousands of years people will think about me, but they will remember your name only because you put the case against me - that's all. They will know your name only because you were the man who moved the court to kill Socrates. Nothing else will be remembered of you...
... servant was at a loss. The servant said, 'Master, why don't you kill me directly? I am a poor servant - I don't even know how to hold a sword. And fighting with you, a great warrior, a great master, who has thousands of disciples in swordsmanship.... There is nobody who can compete with you in the whole country - and you are giving me this sword to fight with you! Why don't you kill me directly? If you...
... want to kill me, kill me - but what is the point of me fighting with you?' But the samurai said, 'That is how it has to be. I cannot kill you, that is against my honour. You will have to fight. Accept the challenge and come into the ground.' Now the servant - seeing no way possible, no way of getting out of it, knowing perfectly well that death has come - in a moment changed. When death is so certain...
... and wrong when you are going to die? And within seconds the master is pushed against the wall - there is no further to go back. And the master says, 'Wait. Don't kill me right now. You can kill me after a few days, but first teach me your art. I have been fighting my whole life - I have never seen such a great warrior!' And the servant laughed. He said, 'There is nothing, no art. But when death is...
... ask a Zen Master, "What is a Buddha?" He can hit you! That is far better even than cypress tree in the courtyard'. He can jump upon you, he can take you unawares. You were not waiting for it. He can slap you. What are these techniques? What is the significance of all these? They look so brute, violent, uncivilized, primitive. They are not. The whole effort is to give you a gap from the...
... slapped this man, he was stupefied; he must have become scared, he must have been very shocked. But he was still not out of it, he was still clinging to the same plane. He may have been getting angry, or he may have been thinking to hit back. And then somebody from the crowd - must have been a man of great understanding - somebody in the crowd said, "Why don't you bow?" Now this is even more...
... unexpected. Somebody hits you, slaps you, and you have to bow to him! But the one who said, "Why don't you bow?" is showing great insight. He is saying, "The Master has been so compassionate towards you. There was no reason for him to do so much - to come down, to take you by your collar and hit you and slap you. There was no need! Out of compassion he has done so much for you, and what are...
... personification of enlightenment. He must have had a glimpse, a window must have opened, something must have clicked. Yes, he understood: "This man has not hit you out of anger, out of aggression. He is not your enemy, he is your friend. It is out of compassion that he has hit you." Once this glimpse dawned on him, he bowed down. In that very bowing, he had his first satori. ZEN HAS BROUGHT INTO THE...
... words used by Tosu are meaningless; these words used by Tosu are NOT used as words but as shouts! just to hit the other's mind to a halt. They show something. He is saying, "Don't ask questions. Let religion be your quest, not a question. Let religion be your experience, not an explanation. If you really want to know what Buddha is, I AM HERE! Look! Buddha is Buddha. I am here. Look into me, and...
... yet arrived and we have to reach somewhere. So just a recognition.... Hence the Zen insistence to awaken you by shocks. A Buddha is thinking that he is not a Buddha - what to do? Rather than explaining to him, giving him great philosophy and theology, it is better to hit him hard so he awakens! In that moment of awakening is satori. People feel very puzzled as to how satori is attained so fast. It...

... sardarji started hitting... not that anybody was his enemy or anything. He made such long jumps to hit people that the whole of the grounds were empty; all the meditators were standing around the edge of the grounds, and the sardarji was alone inside. I said, "Sardarji, now sit down. Everybody is gone." He said, "What came over me? -- because I am not a violent man." And the people of...
... is bound to come. I am answering your questions just to kill them, just to destroy them, so that I can help you to go beyond questions and beyond answers into a state of silence where there is no question and no answer. That space is the space of all miracles, of all mysteries. That magical space I call true religion. To enter into it is to be a religious person. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, WHEN...
... four feet ahead so he never sees a woman, because looking four feet ahead, at the most you can see the feet of a woman, that's all. He should walk very slowly, very carefully, so he does not kill any ants or anything. He should carry a woolen brush with him so that before he sits he brushes the place. It has to be woolen so that no ant or anything is killed by it, it is so soft. Such details!that he...
... be cut, nobody is to support him. Otherwise, in a village, that's the way: when one person's crops are ripe, the whole village helps him to cut the crop. Then somebody else's are ready and the whole village helps him. Singlehandedly, he will be in immense trouble. Nobody will talk to him. People should not recognize him on the street, should not say hello. You will kill the man - and he cannot go...
... completely disappeared; there is no description of the masses at all. But Gandhi was adamant about technology: the telegraph, the telephone.... I don't see that the telegraph, or the telephone are in any way violent. In fact these are very non-violent things; they should be supported by non-violent people. If you don't have a telephone then you will have to walk down to the place, and walking may kill a...
... few insects. Or if you drive the car there then you are going to kill a few small insects on the road - or you may have an accident, kill somebody or get killed yourself The telephone is saving you from all this violence. I don't see that I can change my argument anytime, because it is a simple argument. It has nothing to do with my age. Mahavira did not criticize Buddha. To me that is a criticism...
... remove it, I will remain here - I will not enter the university but I will approach every student, every professor and ask the same question that I have asked you. And you are inviting unnecessary trouble. The best way is just remove that sentence." He said, "I will have to think about it. People will ask, 'Why are you removing it?' It has been there since the university has been founded...
....'" I said, "That is not my concern. If it is a lie, the sooner it is removed, the better. And what can you think about it? You don't know God. How are you going to think about something you don't know? Do you know truth? What are you going to think about these things which you don't know? Better you remove that sentence." He was really a gentleman, he agreed to remove it. And he said...
... has a different quality - and immediately the hit comes. Suddenly you are awake and the disciple is expected to bow down and touch the feet of the master in gratitude for his compassion that he did not allow him to fall into the trap of dreams. In the third stage the master will be helpful in making it clear to you that what you are seeing now are not dreams. Listen to them, follow them - they are...
... knowledge, to stop the growth of science, is far more criminal than to murder man. Nothing can be more criminal than that. But even today, any progress in science and every effort is made to stop it; because it is dangerous to the vested interests of politicians and the priests it has to be stopped. Man should not become too wise; otherwise you will not be able to make humanity a feeding place for slaves...
... instincts of humanity. Journalism has not yet come of age. It has not become mature yet. So if there is a rape, it is news. If there is murder, it is news. If there is suicide, it is news. Anything ugly, disgusting, criminal, is news, and anything beautiful is not news. If a dog bites a man it is not news, it is natural; but if a man bites a dog, then it is news. Then the journalist is not interested...
... rape; they enjoy a rape story. They would like to murder, but they cannot murder, it is too risky; they enjoy the murder story. They have thought many times to commit suicide - remember, it is very difficult to find a man who has not at one time in his life thought of dropping it all, and being finished with it all - but they have not been able to gather courage. It needs a little courage to commit...
... was nothing but an afterplay - just to finish the game. It was the peak but it was not the center. Love was the center. Then the heart functioned in a different way, vibrated in a different way. Then Aum was enough to work with. Aum will help a person who is very loving and who has a heart; otherwise, it will not help him. Hoo is the sound for this age. It will hit you directly at the sex center. If...
... you really hit loudly with "Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" you will feel a subtle hammering inside. And sex energy can move in two ways: it can move outward and it can move inward. When you feel attracted to a woman or to a man, the energy has started moving outward. Really, a woman or a man - a person of the opposite sex - is hitting you from without. And this is literally true. When you feel that some...
... woman is attracting you, if you can become alert and observing you will feel a subtle hit at your sex center. The feminine energy, or the masculine energy hits you on that center. The same hit will be felt when you shout Hoo, but from within. And if you go on hammering the sex center from within, an opening is created and the energy begins to flow inward - upward. Once you know how to make this energy...
... flow upward and withinward, you will reach to higher orgasms, to higher peaks of ecstasy, than you can ever reach with any woman or any man. An inner meeting will have started. The first step is to change your prana, your breathing pattern. The second stage is to throw your emotions, the suppressed part of your mind - a catharsis. And the third is to hit your life energy to move upward. And when the...
.... Perhaps this discovery by the scientists led to the insight of Sigmund Freud that one day men killed their fathers -- had to kill, had to remove them, otherwise they wouldn't allow you to live at all. If God did exist, it is absolutely certain he would have been assassinated -- it would have become absolutely intolerable. But fortunately, he does not exist so nobody can assassinate him. But...
... will always find people immensely friendly with their uncles. They will not say things to just anybody which they can say to their uncles; some different quality exists. Such a God is not only Jewish, such a God is the God of all primitive people. In all primitive, holy scriptures he is very angry. If he was available in the world, Albert Camus is right, we would have to kill him. It would become...
... because somewhere in the past man had to kill the father he felt the guilt of what he had done. And out of that guilt he started worshipping the ancestors, the fathers, the elderly people, the old people. All this respect has arisen out of a guilt which has settled in the human heart. Man started inventing a God as father, raising temples in his memory, statues, priests praying, worshipers worshipping...
... main market M.G. market. This is the guilt that somehow has to be erased, so they have raised the statue to Mahatma Gandhi. Strange... you kill the man and then you raise the statue. You must have seen on the hills, just nearby the bridge, there is one beautiful bungalow where Mahatma Gandhi used to stay. The people to whom that bungalow belongs used to come to listen to me in Bombay. And when I was...
