... not be able to help the child to grow. If it is left to men, the population of the world will immediately start falling. They will kill their own children. They will murder their children, they will poison their children. They will not be able to tolerate the suffering that one has to go through when one brings up a child; that is impossible for them. The child does not become a grown-up within days...
..., he starts becoming diplomatic. He starts being a person; he is no more an individual. He pretends: you hit him and still he goes on wagging his tail in your praise - this is personality. He would like to tear you into pieces but he knows that you are the boss and he knows his limitations. He knows that soon it is going to be suppertime and he will be in difficulty; he will be beaten, punished. He...
... something from your innermost core starts welling up. Beauty is not a make-up, it is a welling-up. Make-up is on the surface. Just the other day I was reading about a man who was saying to his friend, "I have found the best contraceptive in the world." The friend asked, "What is that? And the man said, "I simply tell my wife to remove her make-up. Once she removes her make-up I am no...
... closed and there is so much tension. It is not a healthy hand. When the fist is there the hand is very tense and very unhealthy. An open hand is wholesome, healthy, alive, flowing. So when one is serious all the petals close - one becomes like a fist. Good if you are going to fight - then the fist is needed. Good if you are angry - then the fist is needed. Good if you are going to murder somebody...
... - then the fist is needed. But when you murder somebody, even before you have thought about it, you have started murdering yourself. When you think of poisoning somebody, you have already poisoned your life stream. Your anger will go on the other later - first it poisons you. So be like an open hand, with no tension. If pain comes, that is part of it. If pleasure comes, that too is good. And always...
... that now he has hit upon his own heart, that now he is himself. Happiness is a function of being oneself. Now he is no more a beggar. Whenever you see somebody with grace, with beauty, with silence, remember - it is not that he has found something; he has simply recovered something, discovered something in himself. These are the two types of people: one, who goes on rushing into the outside world...
... not there. It is more a formal thing. It happens always.... You may be fighting with your woman and a friend knocks on the door - suddenly you start smiling. The mind comes in and everything is going so beautifully, and just a moment before you were ready to kill each other! What happened? This is just a social face. You are not only deceiving the friend - you are deceiving yourself too. So I am...
... the song - but to play the song before a hungry person is absurd, it is ridiculous. The so-called Indian democracy helps only to increase its problems, to increase violence, because when people are hungry they become violent. When they are not even able to live as human beings, what can you expect from them? These communal riots and all the rape, murder, arson, these show that the animal is...
... cure is not difficult. Then sannyas will do. And if MY sannyas cannot do it, then drop all hope - then it cannot be done at all. A man standing beneath the Eiffel Tower looked up and saw another man jump from the top of the Tower and fall at a great velocity. On the way down, however, he seemed to hit a pocket of air which broke his fall and brought him gently to the ground. The spectator was...
... only have to jump!" "Okay," said the man. "I'll give it a try." So he climbed to the top of the Tower and jumped. He fell downwards at a tremendous speed and hit the pavement - he was a real mess! The man who had been standing close by turned to the sky-diver and said, "D'you know, Gabriel, for an archangel you are a real bastard!" The priests and the angels and the...
... everywhere! India has many Polacks, very famous Polacks - Morarji Desai is a Polack, Muktananda is a Polack. Do you know, Sant Maharaj, if Jimmy Carter, Leonid Bresznev and Morarji Desai together went sky- diving and none of their chutes opened, who would be the last one to hit the ground? Of course, Morarji Desai, because he would have to stop to get directions - or maybe a few times to sip his own water...
... millions of people. So Shiva looked around and found a rat, and Ganesh rides on the rat. Such a poor fellow, the rat is carrying such a load ... And he is loved and worshipped all over India, most particularly in Maharashtra. Morarji Desai should consult Shiva about how he managed to teach the rat to carry Ganesh. So nobody can say that it is a simple matter, "just kill those rats." Anybody who...
... their honeymoon ... just get your own boat and go on a honeymoon too. Why are you wasting your life unnecessarily in those dark holes, when others are enjoying the fresh air on the river? The idea seems to be good. "Rats are an omen of death in Austria. In other places they are a good omen. In Zoroastrianism the rat is an evil animal, and the killing of one rat equals in merit the slaying of four...
... of uniform. So the policeman, the postman, the military man, the sannyasin ... none of them could pass down that street. Those monkeys would jump on them and hit them hard, tear away their clothes and they would have to run naked, oozing blood, down a main street in Lucknow. And the assembly of Lucknow could not decide what to do. It is something strange that both monkeys and dogs are against...
... SMALL RUBBER MONKEY ON THE PODIUM.) Very meditative monkey! Well, where are your small monkeys? (MANY LITTLE MONKEYS ARE PUT ON THE PODIUM. MEANWHILE AVIRBHAVA'S MONKEY IS RUNNING AWAY AND AVIRBHAVA HAS TO JUMP TO CATCH IT. EVERYBODY IS LAUGHING.) Just give a good clap, too. Now, remove your gods. Just ask all the sannyasins around the world to find out about all the animals that have been worshipped...
... possesses. He can bargain, he can stake her in gambling, he can sell her, he can even kill her -- the court was not concerned. If you kill your chair you will not be arrested... the woman was not more than that. And the whole past has been so ugly that man has not even asked forgiveness for it. Women have been treated like cattle. But the woman has not, in spite of all this ugliness that has been done to...
..., immediately great turmoil started in the leadership of the Theosophical Society: "They have fallen in love. Remove the woman" -- and the woman was removed. It was sheer stupidity: Krishnamurti was not more than fifteen, and the woman was nearabout fifty. But the woman was a beautiful woman, very understanding. No man can take care of anybody else the way a woman can take care even of strangers. I...
... question is from Dhyan Om. He is back. For a few days he had disappeared -- not from the ashram, but he had stopped asking questions because I loved him so much that I gave him good hits. The greater hit you get, remember, your reward is much... you deserved it. First he is asking, "Would you tell me a joke or give me some sutras, or anything before I leave?" In the first place, why should you...
... thousand people cleaning my room will make it more dirty. Too many cooks cannot be allowed in the kitchen; otherwise they will kill me. So you have to be a little more rational and see that your old identity is putting wrong ideas in your head. If you get impressed by those ideas, then there is a possibility that the old shadow will take back its place. You have to drop jealousy and resentment. Just...
... the market. There was no need even for a single bodyguard. He said, "If Hindus can kill Mahatma Gandhi, who has been fighting for them his whole life, what is the difficulty? Mohammedans can kill me. "I am already half dead, and now I cannot trust Mohammedans. Gandhi, who was loved and worshiped as a great soul, as a mahatma, has been killed by Hindus themselves. I was never loved as a...
... three times to look at me: whenever he would look at me, I would look out of the window, so he thought: "It is useless." When we went back home, after two hours, as he got out of the car he started crying. I said, "What has happened? Why are you crying?" He said, "It happened two hours before! I had hit my head on the steering wheel. But you are strange: whenever I would look...
.... If you forget the context, whatever you will understand is going to be wrong. If you understand the context, it is impossible to misunderstand. Berkowitz was crossing Washington Avenue on Miami Beach when he was hit by a passing auto. Several passersby picked him up and laid him down on a bench. A kindly, silver-haired lady approached the injured man and asked, "Are you comfortable?"...
... satisfied just by dropping the ego. They are satisfied only when there is nothing left to drop -- even the self is gone -- when the house is absolutely empty, when you can say, "I am not." This nothingness is creating the space for the ultimate to blossom. It does not come from anywhere else. It has always been there, just cluttered with rotten furniture, with unnecessary things. As you remove...
... all those things and your subjectivity becomes empty -- just as a room becomes empty as you remove everything from it -- in this emptiness of your subjectivity, blossoms the flower of ultimate experience -- you are no more. Naturally, you cannot have your old miseries, your old traumas and dramas. You cannot have any connection with your own past; you have abruptly cut yourself away from all that...
... said, "I didn't kill a thing. I would have been better off staying here in the hospital!" Fifteen minutes after the Titanic sank, Morie and Louis find themselves on the same overturned raft. The water is freezing, sharks are cruising by, and the raft is slowly sinking. "Ah well," said Louis, "it could have been worse." "Worse? How could it be worse?" screamed...
... in every village, people dramatize the life of Rama. They are not great actors, but it has become almost a religious tradition, for thousands of years. And there are many difficulties. There is a war between Rama and his enemy Ravana. Rama's young brother, Lakshmana, is hit by Ramana's arrow and falls down, unconscious. The greatest physician of those times is called. He says, "Something is...
... the brain. You can damage the person for his whole life. Your hand has to be almost like steel, and you have to hit the exact point... because there are seven million nerves in the brain, and seven hundred centers in your small skull. The instruments are very fine, and the man has to be really an artist not to cut any other cells, any other nerves, which are so close knit... seven million, in a...
... small skull. And to remove exactly the nerve that you want to remove... it is the most delicate job in the world. And he was successful. No operation of his had ever failed. He was respected all over the world, rewarded with a Nobel prize, but on the day that he was retiring he was not happy. Everybody was enjoying, drinking, dancing. He was standing in the corner, sad, lost. A friend came close to...
... like to kill him, you would like to destroy him, for the simple reason that he creates a disturbance in your life. He shatters your illusions, he gives shocks to your preconceived ideas, to your prejudices. He is a danger to your very foundation - he takes away the very ground you are standing upon. He destroys your consolations, your rationalizations. Ordinarily society is divided into two...
... power is very gross - you can crucify Jesus but you cannot kill his spirit, you can poison Socrates but you cannot poison his message...

Would you like it to be buried or to be burnt? What kind of ritual...? You have been...
... humanity has not yet become grown-up, has not yet become sane enough. They have kept humanity imprisoned in a deep spiritual slavery and they have used human beings in every possible way. They have told human beings, "If you die fighting for the Church, then your paradise is absolutely certain." They have told them, "If you kill in the name of religion, then it is not sin." So...
... any of your disciples there." The devil said, "I don't go directly. Have you not seen many scholars and many learned people there?" He said, "Yes." The devil said, "Those are my people - they are my agents. They will suffocate the truth, they will kill the truth. They will surround the man like a wall. They will not allow the truth to reach people and they will not...
.... (1818.4) 165:2.3 “Tonight, here before me are men who would be willing to die for me and for this gospel of the kingdom, and some of them will so offer themselves in the years to come; and here also are some of you, slaves of tradition, who have followed me down from Jerusalem, and who, with your darkened and deluded leaders, seek to kill the Son of Man. The life which I now live in the flesh shall...
... his life for the sheep. The thief breaks into the fold only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; but I have come that you all may have life and have it more abundantly. He who is a hireling, when danger arises, will flee and allow the sheep to be scattered and destroyed; but the true shepherd will not flee when the wolf comes; he will protect his flock and, if necessary, lay down his life for his...
... completed his mission on earth and in the flesh. (1820.2) 165:3.3 “Soon, very soon, will the things which our enemies now plan in secrecy and in darkness be brought out into the light and be proclaimed from the housetops.
