.... People become religious only when they are unhappy -- then their religion is pseudo. Try to understand why you are unhappy. Many people come to me and they say they are unhappy, and they want me to give them some meditation. I say: First, the basic thing is to understand why you are unhappy. And if you don't remove those basic causes of your unhappiness, I can give you a meditation, but that is not...
... few yards further on there's a pool with a big sign 'No Fishing Allowed' -- and that's the place." Remember it: nobody else can decide for you.

Otherwise, life goes on knocking at your door and you are never there -- you are always...

God never gives you anything cheap -- because given without any effort on your part, you will never be able to rejoice in it. Choose the hard way.

... not wrong. Their monks, just like surgeons, keep their mouth and nose covered. it is so difficult to talk to them because you cannot hear what they are saying. They are simply mumbling. When I used to see them I used to tell them, "You please write. Or, I am going to close the door - you remove all this nonsense because ...." So those who were intelligent would allow me to close the door...
... and would remove their paraphernalia. And I would say, "Just be like a human being; otherwise it looks like you are from somewhere else. And when you talk it is difficult to figure out what you are saying - and I have to answer it." But then I became worried about another thing - because they stink. Their breath stinks because Jaina monks are not allowed to do mouth-washing, use toothpaste...
... in a while he would manage to say some sentences, and they were written down. And those sentences are simple: "God created everything for man." So there is no violence - in fact this is the whole purpose of all the animals, birds, trees. And if you don't kill them you are going against God; you have to eat them. Now how are you going to reconcile these two religions? And there are three...
... Himalayas. That's why I am going to the Himalayas - I am surrendering. He does not want me to fight.' "It was so simple, no other argument was needed.

They were standing in front of each other just waiting for the signal to happen, then they would rush into each other and kill millions of people. "Up to now Arjuna had...
... really attachment, not the question of violence or non-violence. Deep down it was an attachment to all these people. Relationships, that was troubling him: How to kill our own people? "If they had been somebody else he would have killed them without thinking even a single moment. So unconsciously he must have been ready. But for convincing him, for bringing his unconscious over his conscious, the...
... could go. So we conspired together; he would help me, he would become a ladder for me to go onto the roof and remove a tile. And with just a bamboo and a brush attached to it, in the night, touching the face of the son-in-law.... He would scream, and the whole house would run there.... "What is the matter?" But by that time we had disappeared, and he would say, "There was some ghost or...
...? You may fall, you may stumble upon a stone or anything." I said, "That's better. Let me stumble, it is not going to kill me. It will teach me how not to stumble, how to be alert, how to remember where the rocks are. But you holding my hand - how long can you hold my hand? How long are you going to be with me? If you can guarantee that you will always be with me, then of course I am willing...
... him in the river when he goes to take his bath." One day his wife opened the door and she said, "Will you stop torturing Munde or not?"and he was just there, behind her.

... with an onion: you start peeling it. The moment you peel the onion and one cover is removed, a fresher cover is there. You remove it and there is another, even fresher and more alive.... And that's how you are - covered with layers of personality. The word personality is worth remembering. It comes from the root persona. In Greek drama the actors used to have masks, and they would speak through the...
... he was very angry and it was not the time to say anything; he may hit you or something. He was capable of smiling with half the mouth, and the other side would remain very somber and serious. It is difficult to learn, but one can be trained. It is not much of a problem - actors, great actors, are continually doing it. You see the whole movie; you don't see that one moment the actor has to laugh...
... painting - but when you dig a well it is a negative act. The water is already there; you have only to remove a few layers of earth, stones, rocks. The moment you have removed them, the water becomes available. The water is there, YOU are here, and between the two there is a barrier: the barrier has to be removed. That's what I mean by negative work. Man already has god whatsoever he is seeking and...
... searching for. The truth is there, the bliss is there, the love is there - in one word, God is there. God is not a person, God is only the totality of all the values which are beyond mind. But the MIND is the barrier, and you have to dig a well. You have to remove a few layers of thoughts, memories, desires, fantasies, dreams. The moment you have opened a door in the mind to the beyond, all that you...
... jungle, sweetie: if you kill, you eat!" Anything cultivated will be only on the surface, it will be only a drama; it will not be your authenticity. So I will say the first thing to remember is: spontaneity has to be discovered - or, it will be better to say, rediscovered, because when you were a child you were spontaneous. You have lost it because so much has been cultivated - so many disciplines...
... kill the snake? In the first place the snake is not there! Can you avoid the snake? In the first place the snake is not there. Can you be unafraid of the snake? In the first place the snake is not there, so all these things are irrelevant. All that is needed is a little light - just a candle will do - and you will see the snake has never been there. It was just an idea, an illusion, a projection. The...
... so there is no question of dropping it. DON'T DROP IT! If you drop it, it will come back in some other form. It cannot leave you - it is just an old habit of unconscious mind. The political situation in a South American country was very shaky. The military was worried. They managed to apprehend the country's greatest gossiper and they condemned him to death. The gossiper was lined up for execution...
... city of Varanasi you will find more cows than men, and you cannot remove a cow that is standing in the street. You go on honking your horn and those gods are not going to listen to such ordinary human beings. Go on honking... they will just stand there without bothering. You have to get down and push them to the side. You cannot hit them otherwise you will be killed. It will be hurting the Hindu...
... can know the riches of the family by the size of their pond. The richer families have vast ponds, and costly fishes are eaten in the name of God. It is so easy to kill anything in the name of God. The name of God is a very protective shelter. You will be surprised to know that when the Britishers came to India, they first captured Bengal, and Calcutta was their capital. Their first Indian servants...
... not understood today, but who knows? -- COME ANOTHER DAY. It is enough for today that I have given you a good hit. Think over it." And "SIX EARS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PLAN." Here you are thousands of ears, but behind your ears everybody has a different plan. So come another day and drop your plan. If you come with a prejudice, with an answer already within you, you cannot understand me...
..., with conditions. That was very good. I refused; I refused completely. "With conditions I cannot enter into your country. Remove all conditions, then I will consider it." So the government is still considering, and I hope that they will not allow me because I am certainly worried that the whole of Italy must be stinking of garlic. I know so many Italian sannyasins -- I keep them a little far...
..., long enough. The disciple started getting restless. He repeated his question and he said, 'Why are you looking at me so long? Why don't you answer me?" And the master answered a really zen answer. He said, 'Kill me." The disciple could not believe that this is the answer for his enlightenment. He went to ask the chief disciple. The chief disciple laughed and he said, 'The same he did to me...
... also.' And he is right. He is saying, 'Why do you go on asking me? Drop this master. Drop this asking. Kill me. Drop all ideology. Who am l? I am not preventing you. Life is available. Why don't you start livig? Why do you go on preparing, when and how? This seems to be the most difficult thing for the human mind - just to live, naked; just to live without any arrangements; just to live the raw and...
..., BEGGED HIM TO STAND QUIETLY. 'WE'RE LIKE SARDINES IN HERE,' SAID THE SAMURAI GRUFFLY. THEN, POINTING TO, MUSO, 'WHY NOT TOSS OUT THE BONZAE?" Bonzae means a zen priest, a zen monk. The story is beautiful. If politicians were allowed, then they would not like religious people on the earth at all. They would kill them, they would toss them out of the boat - because the only danger for the politician...
... other person more. Rather, hit him hard. He will respect that more. At least you accept him as your equal." And Nietzsche is also right. He has a very penetrating eye. A religious person... his very presence infuriates the politician. And when he is insulted and he takes it easily, as if nothing has happened, that drives the other person almost mad. That's how they crucified Jesus. The priests...
..., the politicians, the power-addicted people, they could not tolerate this humble and simple man. He was not doing any harm to them. In fact he was teaching people harmless things. He was teaching them to become innocent like children. He was teaching them 'blessed are the meek'. But they became infuriated. They had to kill him, because his very presence became very humiliating to them. Such a tower...
.... That has been my trouble. My whole life I have been attacking. Unless I attack your belief system, your ideology, I cannot be of any help to you; I cannot share myself with you. There is a wall, a thick wall. I can go on shouting; you will not hear me. I have to hit the wall continuously, hammer it, at least make a hole in it, so I can see you, you can see me - face to face. And I can revive what has...
... deliver them from their suffering. The Jews have suffered the most in the whole world. But there is no reason to feel any pity for them. They are responsible for it. The day they declared that they are the chosen people of God, they created this long series of suffering, misery, murder, concentration camps, gas chambers. I have never come across anybody who clearly connects these two things: why the...
... kill Jesus, and he escaped from Jerusalem. There was no resurrection at all. In fact, the crucifixion was not completed, so how could there be a resurrection? Death had not happened, so what to say about resurrection? And no Jewish contemporary account talks about Jesus or his crucifixion or his resurrection or his teachings - because those contemporary sources are written by rabbis, learned people...
... antichrist. Who founded Christianity? A very strange man - it has nothing to do with Jesus. His name was Saul, and he was very much against Jesus and against Jesus' teachings. He lived far away from Jerusalem. When he heard many rumors reaching there that the messiah has come, and he will redeem the world - and he was a very orthodox Jew.... So he started moving towards Jerusalem, to kill this man if he...
... person in their history. In fact they are not connected with Jesus. And this Paul who was going to kill Jesus and his friends, now turned towards the enemies of Christianity. He declared that Christ would come again - just the old Jew he was, his whole life waiting for the messiah, although now he has become a Christian.... But you can change only the clothes, you cannot change those ideas so easily...
