..., son of Netanel, the person responsible for the synagogue services (gabbay), is said to have turned to the Crusaders about to kill him cruelly, wishing them the same fate as Jesus, "punished by immersion in boiling excrement" [15]. When it came to anti-Christian polemic, Ashkenzi Jews didn’t beat around the bush, and the tragic events of which they were the victims served as a justification for...
... contempt. The Sabbath right after little Simon’s murder, when the child’s body was placed on the almemor, the Jews of Trent, gathered in the synagogue, abandoned themselves to excessive gestures absolutely without inhibition or restraint. According to the deposition of Angelo da Verona’s servant, Lazzaro, Samuele da Nuremberg, after concluding his fiery anti-Christian sermon against...
..., the latter’s daughter-in-law, confirmed that she had indeed been present at this unedifying scene [25]. Bella, wife of Mayer, son of Mosè of Würzburg, recalled that she had been present at the exhibition of similar insulting gestures, always at Trent, three or four years earlier, on the occasion of another child murder, also committed in Samuele's house. In this case as well, the outrageous...
... ritual had been performed in the synagogue during the hour of prayer [26]. For his part, Israel Wolfgang described the details of the 1467 ritual murder at Regensburg in which he claimed to have participated personally, stating that "the same insulting acts as those at Trent, in Samuele’s house", were performed in Sayer’s stiebel [parlor] in the presence of the child’s body [as in...
... murder committed the year before. The same Bella, together with Brunetta, Samuele of Nuremberg’s wife, and Anna, his daughter-in-law, Brünnlein, Angelo da Verona’s mother, Anna, Maestro Tobias's first wife, now deceased, all appeared at the threshold of the synagogue during the ceremonies to see the child’s body, which lay stretched out on the almemor. They then enthusiastically...
.... But people become so much obsessed with words - they become so much obsessed that if somebody says anything against the Bible, you are ready to be killed or kill. And bible is just a word; the word 'bible' simply means "the book." It does not mean anything else. If somebody says anything against the Vedas, Hindus become mad. Words have become so important, more important than your life...
... may cleanse the ground, but it cannot bring the flowers. It is as if you prepare the ground for a garden: you remove all the rocks, all the weeds, all the roots, all the grass. You prepare the ground, but that's not enough. If you prepare the ground and then sit under a tree and wait for the roses to come, they will not come. Meditation is only a negative method; it helps you to prepare the ground...
... meditation. One day, even meditation has to be transcended. Don't depend even on the master, because the master can only point the way, YOU have to follow the path. The master cannot go with you. Buddha is reported to have said: If you meet me on the way, kill me; if I come in your way as a hindrance, kill me immediately. Don't have any hesitation... that I am your master. How can you kill me?... He is...
... twenty years to come back to life. Everything will have changed by that time. His generation will have disappeared from the earth; new kinds of people will be there - new ideas, everything new. I don't think he will be able to adjust. The very shock is going to kill him again, because what he will see will be absolutely against his beliefs, against his conventional mind which he has been carrying for a...
... cares? These idiots go on honking and people go on moving at their own pace .... Brahmayogi could not reach the hotel in time to throw out the poison; he died. But before dying he had demonstrated, almost all over the world, both these things: the poisons you think can kill man, can kill only if the man is not trained and disciplined in a certain way to keep the poison away from his blood stream; and...
... it become synonymous with insanity, madness? - because of a certain fact, that the moon has an effect on the human mind: it can drive it mad. On the full-moon night more people go mad than on any other night. On the full-moon night more people commit suicide than on any other night. On the full-moon night more people murder than on any other night. It is not coincidental; it is just as when, on the...
... with the trees. This was a totally different thing. Of course the prince's garden was almost like the Master's garden. And the last finishing touch .... The prince went, before the master was to come, and he saw a few dead leaves in the garden, fallen on the path. He said, "Remove these. Make the garden absolutely clean, young, fresh; no yellow leaves, no dead leaves on the ground." So all...
... individuality, then after that there is nobody who knows it. Then there is no lover; there is only love. I understand non-violence to mean love. That is the pure and perfect experience of love. The negative expression of non-violence has been used only to remove the feeling of relationship in love. In that negativeness there is no denial of love; there is denial only of love being a relation. Love is not a...
... way as darkness is negative. Darkness has no existence of its own. It has no importance in itself. It is not a power; it is a want. It is not the existence of self; it is the non-existence of light; it is the absence of light. What shall we do if in this room there is darkness and we want to remove it? Can it be thrown out through struggle or by push? Can the darkness be killed as a result of a...
... direct war waged against it? Friend, this will never be! That way the darkness cannot, but those attempting to remove it, might be destroyed. The way to remove darkness is not to destroy it but to switch on light. It is impossible to destroy through negation what does not have its own existence. The non-existent can neither be brought in, nor removed. it is not possible even to take away darkness...
..., the self is also not visible; and when nothing is visible then what remains is the 'self'. The experience of the pure consciousness is the experience of the self. I am surrounded by others; therefore, I ask how to remove others in order to attain self-realization. They are always surrounding me. The 'other' disappears as soon as you close your eyes. Therefore it is no problem. What is to be...
...," confided Abby, "and he likes to make love with his football-letter sweater on." "Which school does he attend, Michigan or Minnesota?" questioned Jean. "Neither," giggled Abby, "he goes to Wisconsin." But tell her fiance that this is stupid and he will hit you on the head! An ugly-looking little Italian guy always succeeded in picking up the best-looking...
... dozing, a hit comes on your head - a really good hit to bring you back to your senses! You cannot escape either because I go on praising vipassana so much, saying that without vipassana there is no satori, no enlightenment. So you say, "Okay, somehow I will pass through it. It is only a question of a few days. And one thing is certain: that many have survived, so there is no danger to life."...
...; So he purchased the whole bucket and then he started eating it - and it was fire! Tears were rolling down. And a man was watching and he said, 'What are you doing? This is not a fruit. You will kill yourself ! This is a medicinal herb; it has to be taken only in very small amounts for particular diseases. What are you doing? You will go mad!" He said, "Whatsoever happens, happens, but...
... since I have paid two paise for it, I have to eat it!" And he said, "I went on crying and tears went on flowing, but I finished it. I ate the whole bucketful of that nasty thing!" When you pay, then you cannot escape. And we don't leave any loopholes; we make every effort so that nobody can escape. The man was in jail for rape, murder, kidnapping and blackmail. The lawyer said, "I...
... Available: N.A. Length: N.A. THERE WAS A MAN WHO WAS SO DISTURBED BY THE SIGHT OF HIS OWN SHADOW AND SO DISPLEASED WITH HIS OWN FOOTSTEPS, THAT HE DETERMINED TO GET RID OF BOTH. THE METHOD HE HIT UPON WAS TO RUN AWAY FROM THEM. SO HE GOT UP AND RAN. BUT EVERY TIME HE PUT HIS FOOT DOWN THERE WAS ANOTHER STEP, WHILE HIS SHADOW KEPT UP WITH HIM WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST DIFFICULTY. HE ATTRIBUTED HIS FAILURE TO...
... hit upon the right path. It is not otherwise. When a person can celebrate life in its totality, all that is wrong disappears, but if you try first to make arrangements for the wrong to disappear, it never disappears. It is just like fighting with darkness. Your house is filled with darkness and you ask: How can I light a candle? Before I light a candle this darkness has to be dispelled. This is what...
... he hit upon was to run away from it. That is the method everybody hits upon. It seems that the mind has a vicious logic. For example, if you feel angry, what will you do? The mind will say: Don't be angry, take a vow. What will you do? You will suppress it and the more you suppress, the more the anger will move to the very roots of your being. Then you will not be sometimes angry and sometimes not...
... more effort. THE METHOD HE HIT UPON WAS TO RUN AWAY FROM THEM. Mind has only two alternatives, fight or flight. Whenever there is a problem, the mind says either fight it, or escape from it. And both are wrong. If you fight, you remain with the problem. If you fight, the problem will be there continuously. If you fight, you are divided, because the problem is not outside - the problem is inside. For...
... relaxed, and the fighter is no longer there - he is sleeping. The enemy will bubble up. The mind thinks, either fight - if you fight then you suppress - or escape. But to where will you escape? Even if you go to the Himalayas the anger will follow you, it is your shadow; the sex will follow you, it is your shadow. Wherever you go, your shadow will be with you. THE METHOD HE HIT UPON WAS TO RUN AWAY FROM...
... wool attached so that when he sits anywhere he can clean the place with the wool so that no ants or small insects are killed, the wool is so soft. Those two monks were traveling together for years. In the morning, when they went outside to their toilet, there was a fight - they hit each other with those bamboos. Somebody brought them to the police station. When I heard the news, I immediately went to...
... egg has no life, hence it is just vegetarian. Even a vegetable has some life, but the unfertilized egg is simply protein. Adding the unfertilized egg to vegetarian food, vegetarian food far exceeds the non-vegetarian food. Non- vegetarian food makes you insensitive. If just for a momentary taste you can kill living beings, you are not yet human. Then what is wrong in killing human beings? Their meat...
.... On all the walls were the heads of lions and other animals. I told him, "Please remove these and don't mention to anybody that your father did all this, because that means your father was absolutely insane." These poor animals are not "game," as the hunters call them. It is strange that when a hunter kills a tiger it is "game," and when a tiger kills the hunter, then...
... out, I went to him, and I told him, "Be sincere. I have nothing against smoking. It may kill you two years earlier - it does not matter. What are you going to do living two years more? It may give you tuberculosis - that too does not matter. Millions of people get tuberculosis without smoking, so why not smoke? I have nothing against it, and I don't think that it is some unspiritual activity...
... friend just living close by. I called him, and he was a reliable man. Whenever there was something to be done which was difficult he had always been of help. I told him, "This is a difficult job, but this Jaina monk has been suffering for years. You will gain great virtue; your paradise is certain. Simply take him to a film show." He said, "What? If Jainas come to know they will kill me...
... he brought a great surprise to his fellow scientists. He looked ten years younger, and healthier than he had ever been. They were all surprised, because nobody had thought ... it had always been thought that radiation will kill, but he has discovered that radiation will kill only in a certain great quantity. It is a question of degrees. In small quantities it can help to destroy disease, to give...
... Nasruddin is, something interesting is going to happen. He was there with his fifty disciples following him. He went directly into a stall, where people were putting down money; if they could hit the bull's-eye with the arrow, the stall keeper would give them three times as much money, and if they missed, their money was gone. Many people were trying, but it is not easy unless you are an archer. Mulla...
... and he is not wrong." And Mulla hit the bull's-eye, took his ten rupee note, and asked for twenty more. The stall keeper said, "What!" Mulla said, "This is Mulla Nasruddin's arrow; he never misses the target. You just bring twenty rupees!" People laughed, but the stall keeper had to give twenty rupees. The disciples also said, "This is too much! In fact, if he had...
... missed again, he would again have brought some explanation; this is just accidental. But he is a great man, there is no doubt about it." He was able to bring as many explanations as possible. If you go on shooting, one time it is going to hit; whenever it hits, it is Mulla Nasruddin's arrow. Mulla Nasruddin walked away with his thirty rupees and his disciples. He said, "Come on, you can enjoy...
... you on the wings of the wind, the wind may take it away again. It is a gift out of the blue. You cannot cling to it, you cannot possess it. If you try to possess it, you will kill it immediately. So a few people start possessing and kill. And a few people don't possess, but when the lover has gone or has moved away, has taken his path separate from your path. then you are full of tears for ever...
...? Maybe your desires are not fulfilled? But then drop desires! Why drop yourself? Maybe your expectations are not fulfilled, and you are feeling frustrated? In frustration one wants to destroy. And there are only two possibilities - either murder somebody or murder yourself. Murdering somebody else is more dangerous, so people start thinking of murdering themselves. But it is murder. Why not change your...
..., I support abortion? I support murder? Abortion is murder. I say to them: You know the soul is immortal. So how can the murder happen? Have you forgotten Krishna and his Bhagavad Gita? He says to Arjuna 'You can kill all these people, nobody is ever killed. Because the soul is immortal.' Now, if I support abortion, if I support birth-control, I am not spiritual. Obviously I am not, in their...
... because of their past karmas that they are suffering, it is because of their past philosophies that they are suffering. It is not that in their past life they committed murder and suicide and robbery so they are suffering. It is simply that their whole past they have been taught poverty. Poverty has been praised so much. Mm? Those questions come to me. Just the other day there was a question: Why do I...
