... SCIENCE AND MYSTICISM, THESE WORDS OF D. H. LAWRENCE: "IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY MAN KILLS THE THING HE LOVES. TO KNOW A LIVING THING IS TO KILL IT. ONE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY INTELLIGENT AND INTERESTED TO KNOW A GOOD DEAL ABOUT ANY PERSON ONE COMES IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH. ABOUT HER. ABOUT HIM. BUT TO TRY TO KNOW ANY LIVING BEING IS TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF THAT BEING. ABOVE ALL THINGS, WITH THE WOMAN...
... ONE LOVES. EVERY SACRED INSTINCT TEACHES ONE THAT ONE MUST LEAVE HER UNKNOWN. YOU KNOW YOUR WOMAN DARKLY, IN THE BLOOD. TO TRY TO KNOW HER MENTALLY IS TO KILL HER. BEWARE, O WOMAN, OF THE MAN WHO WANTS TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE. AND, O MAN, BEWARE A THOUSAND TIMES MORE OF THE WOMAN WHO WANTS TO KNOW YOU, OR GET YOU, WHAT YOU ARE. MAN DOES SO HORRIBLY WANT TO MASTER THE SECRET OF LIFE AND OF...
... each other, "Open your heart. Say it, whatsoever it is. Bring it out!" That is really ugly because you may be able to know a little more about the person, but at the same time the love is dying because love can exist only between two mysteries - two persons who are mysteries to each other. IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY MAN KILLS THE THING HE LOVES. TO KNOW A LIVING THING IS TO KILL IT. If you...
... you start the effort to know her you have already started destroying her. Soon she will be reduced to a wife, but then she is not the woman you had loved in the first place. The mystery has disappeared - and you are the cause of it. YOU KNOW YOUR WOMAN DARKLY, IN THE BLOOD. IN THE BONES, IN THE MARROW. TO TRY TO KNOW HER MENTALLY IS TO KILL HER. BEWARE, O WOMAN, OF THE MAN WHO WANTS TO FIND OUT WHAT...
..., silly ideas! And India is a spiritual country! And anger you can see every day in communal riots. Everywhere people are ready to kill so easily, and just a moment before they were praying, they were doing their namaz, they were doing their prayer. But it is very strange that people go to do namaz with weapons, because immediately after the namaz the killing starts - as if they were ready! And Hindus...
.... That's what al-Hillaj Mansoor did before he was killed by the fanatic Mohammedans, because he had declared: ANA'L HAQ - I am God. Mohammedans could not tolerate it, just as Jews could not tolerate Jesus. They killed him - but before they killed him, he looked at the sky and laughed loudly. One hundred thousand people had gathered to see this ugly phenomenon, the murder of one of the greatest human...
... was cut off. They tortured him as much as was possible, but he laughed. Somebody asked, "Why are you laughing?" Mansoor said, "I am laughing because the man you are killing is somebody else, I am not he. I am laughing at God too. What is happening? - have these people gone mad? They are killing somebody else! Me you cannot kill; it is ridiculous, your whole effort is ridiculous. So...
... breathe easily. But that can be done in a far better way by a belly laughter. And now there are doctors who say that if we take enough care children don't cry; on the contrary, they smile. That's a good beginning. Soon Zarathustras will be coming. But up to now doctors have been very Christian. The first thing they do is they hang the child upside down and hit him on the buttocks. Do you expect a child...
... to laugh? This is a great welcome to the world, putting the child upside down, giving him a hit - a good beginning, because his whole life he is going to get hit in the pants, again and again. And hanging upside down, how can he laugh? No wonder he cries! Now there are a few doctors working in a different direction. They bring the child in a more natural way out of the mother's womb; they don't cut...
... rank. The third person, who was slapped by Birbal, could not believe what was happening, because he was not concerned at all. Birbal had cracked a joke, he had received the reward. Now why he should be hit? He was not at all related in it. And he asked, "What are you doing?" Birbal said, "Don't waste time, hit the other person lower than you. And the world is round. Sooner or later the...
... hit will reach Akbar." And it is said it reached in the night - the wife hit Akbar himself. And next day he said to Birbal, "You are right, the world is round. But you have always to hit the person who is lower than you; you have to be alert about that." So everybody is hitting everybody else, hurting everybody else. That's why we have created this insane world. Pritama, drop this...
.... But if so, why 'and thou mayest tell him?' Should it not read 'and they2 will tell him'? Again, 'I am taking possession of what is mine'; should it not be 'he is taking possession of what is his'? — This is indeed a difficulty. Come and hear: In the case of an ox throwing itself upon the back of another's ox so as to kill it, if the owner of the ox that was beneath arrived and extricated...
... be liability to compensate. Now if the case dealt with is of Tam,5 why liability? — Since he was able to extricate his ox from beneath, which in fact he did not do, [he had no right to push and directly kill the assailing ox].6 Come and hear: In the case of a trespasser having filled his neighbour's premises with pitchers of wine and pitchers of oil, the owner of the premises is...
... regarding damages there should [always] be liability, for it was taught:27 If his pitcher broke and he did not remove the potsherds, [or] his camel fell down and he did not raise it, R. Meir orders payment for any damage resulting therefrom, whereas the Sages maintain - To Next Folio - Original footnotes renumbered. See Structure of the Talmud Files Lit., 'ground of the world'. Whereas the water was...
... will be too much. It will be offending, and it will be against all dignity, all grace. You make friends, you talk, you persuade, you seduce. If somebody, a stranger, comes up to you on the road and suddenly says that he would like to sleep with you, you will hit him on the face! He can ask the same thing but some preliminaries have to be fulfilled; then nothing is wrong. The same thing should be the...
.... That's why you are feeling fragile. There is nothing wrong in it. Fragility is not weakness; it is being delicate. Misery makes people hard, happiness makes them fragile. Happiness makes them open and sensitive... vulnerable. They become like a lotus flower. When you are unhappy you become like a rock. You can kill somebody, but you cannot give life. And nobody can kill you... you become harder and...
... whenever you find that a woman has committed suicide, be very careful; in most of the cases it will be a murder. Either the husband has murdered her, or the mother-in-law has murdered her, it is not a suicide. Women simply talk, it is the man who commits murder, commits suicide. Twice as many men go mad as women. One thinks this is strange, because women act crazier. They throw things, they break plates...
..., they hit with pillows, and they are always ready to throw a tantrum, weeping, screaming. They know the whole paraphernalia of how to torture the husband. But they don't go mad. Perhaps they don't go mad because every day they have a release, they don't accumulate. Man cannot cry, it is unmanly. He cannot throw things, it doesn't suit him. He cannot break plates or scream. He accumulates, and one day...
... compassion that a Zen master ever strikes anybody. This is a different language than saying that you have got it, that you are enlightened. A master's stick is awaited by the disciple for years, because he will hit you only if he knows that his hit is going to awaken you; or he will hit only when you are awakened as a reward. In the modern world it will not be at all understood. When, for the first time...
.... When he asked the labourer how that came about, he told him that the date trees were placed between vines. He said to him: Since they are weakening the vines so much, bring me their roots tomorrow.2 When R. Hisda saw certain palms among the vines he said to his field labourers: 'Remove them with their roots. Vines can easily buy palms but palms cannot buy vines.'2 MISHNAH. EVEN THOUGH THE...
... man's wife' [surely implies] in all cases; for as to your allegation, Wilt thou slay even a righteous nation? Said he not unto me, She is my sister and she even she herself said: He is my brother,11 [you should know that] he is a prophet who has already [by act and deed]12 taught the world that where a stranger comes to a city whether he is to be questioned regarding food and drink &mdash...
... simply kill you. You will be surprised to know that just the idea of somebody killing you will become your death. One becomes so vulnerable... just the idea. If you are so open to somebody, then you become absolutely receptive, and the receptivity becomes telepathetic. If the other person thinks, 'You should die,' you will die immediately. That's why people remain with closed hearts - to protect...
... themselves. So when the heart starts opening, one feels very much afraid - but the heart is opening towards me, so you don't be worried about it, mm? Even if I kill you, it will be better than your life! So don't be worried. You are not going to be a loser. [She answers: I'm scared of you killing me!] That's right - fear is natural, mm? But don't close. Let the fear be there - remain open. That is the...
... rights. This was symbolically effected by one giving an article, e.g., a scarf, to the other. Rash and Maim.: an ordained Beth din; Ran: a Beth din with the power to enforce its decisions. I.e., robbers who kill if their demands are not granted. Rashi, Ran, Rosh and Tosaf. all interpret this as private robbers. Jast.: official oppressors. These are less desperate than murderers, and do not kill if...
