... was a failure of Socrates and his philosophy. In fact, that was the ultimate victory of the man. He proved that a single man and his truth is more powerful than the whole society with all its powers, riches, population, armies. They could do only one thing to this man: they could kill him. But by killing the man the truth is not killed. In fact, on the contrary, by killing Socrates they have made...
..., no crime committed in four years, no murder, no rape, no suicide, nobody has gone mad, then why it cannot happen on a larger scale. When you have all the powers to do? And these people have nothing except their intelligence and their labor. Fourthly, it proved something of tremendous importance, not only for America but for the whole history of man -- past and future too. We had no government, five...
... been able to agree on any point because anarchist says `no government, the government should be dissolved immediately, the government is the sole cause of all crime, all that is inhuman, all wars, bloodshed, all kinds of dirty politics.' And the communists say `that we hope sometime in future there will be a time when there will be no government, but for the time being to remove government will not...
..., they have been told to you... that sex is sin. It is not. Is is nature, and if nature is sin then I don't think what can be virtue. In fact, going against nature is sin. Just a simple understanding that whatever you are, existence has made you this way. You have to accept yourself in totality. This acceptance will remove the hindrance that can come from repression. Second thing that comes as a...
... teacher who says to you that concentration is meditation is committing a great crime. Not knowing that he is misleading you, and misleading you on such a fundamental subject, he is far more dangerous than somebody who can kill you. He is killing you far more significantly and deeply. He is destroying your consciousness; he is destroying your very possibility to open the doors of all the mysteries that...
....... These two eyes open outwards. Just as a symbol, the third eye opens inwards. The two eyes are for the duality of the world, the one eye is for the singleness of your being. As you start looking inwards, you are amazed: you were ignoring yourself, and that was the trouble. That was why you were in misery, anxiety, suffering. You were trying everything to remove the misery, but it was caused by your...
.... These were, "First, open the window; that will kill one. Next, shut it; that will kill the other. Then we can have peace." That is what you have to do with your mind if you want peace, peace that passeth all understanding. Question 2: BELOVED OSHO, I HAVE TRIED TO WRITE QUESTIONS TO YOU, BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHEN YOU WERE IN SILENCE, I BECAME AWARE THAT YOUR SILENCE IS AN INVITATION FOR...
... fragrance. The rock is almost just the opposite, but the rock can kill the roseflower very easily. So one thing has to be understood: the higher you go into silence, love, beauty, the more delicate you become, more fragile. The lower you go - violent, murderous, criminal - the harder you become. Your heart has both the possibilities: to become the rock or to become a roseflower. The second thing to be...
... cannot kill somebody with a roseflower. That does not mean the arrow - a poisonous arrow - is more powerful than a rose. But it appears so. The arrow is dead; hence you cannot kill it anymore. Do you think that is strength? Then all the people who are in the grave are stronger than you; they will never die again. You will be dying. Would you like to change places with the people in the graves? They are...
... a sannyasin. When the Share-a-Home people had come here, a certain drug was purchased in a big quantity by this fascist gang of Sheela's. They were injecting that drug into the Share-a-Home people so they remained calm and quiet. Otherwise, they were street people; they have lived in a totally different way - rowdy, ever ready to fight and kill. But they overdosed one man and he died. I have been...
... jewel. Sheela was very much afraid of her because she knew everything; she was Sheela's secretary, so every paper had passed through her. She knows all that they have done. Sheela wanted to take her with her. She even tried to poison the poor girl. If she cannot take her, then it is better to kill her. It seems killing people became to them just a very simple thing. But Geeta has remained, and she...
... will be of immense help. She is, because most of the stories that have come to exposure are because of Geeta, because she knows the right person who will tell the story. If you feel resentful towards Geeta that will not be in any way nice. That will not show your love, your heart. That will simply show a very stupid reaction. Hasya was asking me, "Should we remove all these people? - Geeta...
... is capable of making it. The moment he became aware that this was going to be used, he asked, "I can make it. There are certain sounds - you will not hear those sounds, but the machine will create those sounds, and they will kill you. I am capable of making it, but if it is going to kill humans I will not." Now, without Geeta it would have been impossible to know about this. Now we can...
... than needed, so the necessity to hoard disappears. You don't hoard air. Of course, on the moon you will. You will have a container hanging on your shoulder with oxygen, because there is no oxygen on the moon. In a desert you will hoard water. People fight in the desert for a small oasis, kill each other. The fight is for water. Here you don't fight for water; there is more than enough available. I...
... can be put to better use. Thousands of legal advocates are just wasting their time and people's money; they are not needed. We don't see things; we simply remove the symptoms, and they come back again. Look at the very causes. In America there is so much crime. Why? There must be temptations for crime. Those temptations can be dropped very easily. Just look at my watch. Are you tempted or not? You...
... strange! In all these years our police have not done any harm to anybody. The people of Antelope want the police to be removed. I will remove the police if the state of Oregon takes the responsibility to see that no sannyasin will be harmed, that no property will be harmed, burned, damaged - because all the sannyasins are here the whole day working, and in the night they go to Antelope. The police are...
... there simply to look after the property; we have two-thirds of the properties of Antelope. I am willing to remove the police force immediately; just purchase all the lands and all the properties and then it is up to you to do whatever you want. They say that we have increased the taxes.... It is very strange: only a dozen old Antelope people are there, and one hundred sannyasins are there - so who is...
... she is not going to be a soldier, she is not expected to kill people. A woman is more sensitive than a man because the society has rejected the woman for any important work. It has been a blessing in disguise. The woman has remained still human, while man has become a monster. His whole work seems to be either to kill or to be killed. His whole life is devoted to accumulating more and more war...
... weapons. It seems the second world war has not satisfied him; he is preparing for the third. And remember, whenever a soldier dies on the front, a father dies, a son dies, a husband dies. Men fight and kill each other and women suffer. And because women have suffered for centuries, they have become more and more sensitive to subtle nuances of joy, of suffering, of pain, of pleasure. Don't ask, "Why...
... chicken from our own farm and celebrate." Paddy looked up and said, "Why kill an innocent bird for what happened ten years ago?" "Some young man is trying to get into my room through the window," screamed old Mrs. Kleinman into the telephone. "Sorry, lady," came back the answer, "you've got the fire department. What you want is the police department." "...
... killed by their husbands, but the court, the law, did not accept it as killing, because how can you kill somebody who has no soul? In India millions of women have been burned alive simply because of the male ego: "My wife is beautiful, young. If I am dead, she may get married again." This jealousy was the reason for deciding that every woman should jump into the burning funeral pyre with her...
.... With a silent, sincere, loving, compassionate, human being appearing on the world stage - with joy, these few moments of being alive.... And you cannot purchase life; the gift is invaluable. Alexander the Great threatened one Hindu sannyasin, "My master, Aristotle, wants to see a sannyasin. If you don't come with me to Athens I will kill you." The sannyasin said, "There is no problem...
...; The young man said, "I just thought... why kill your wife, your children? Those poor people have not done anything to me, and I should become a cause of their death? Of course my wife and children are mine, I can kill them, but not yours. So I thought, just because of the moustache...? And it is not a big job; in two minutes I just turned it downwards." The warrior said, "This is...
.... They were talking about not killing people, but basically what was in their minds was that they should not be killed. So if you are not to kill, you will be saved also. That is not necessary. Buddha never told them, "Your not killing others does not mean that they will not kill you." Nor did Mahavira tell them that. Then what will you do when people want to invade your country, take your...
... possessions, take your wives, kill your children, rape your women, burn your houses and cities? Then what is the nonviolence going to do? According to me, a really nonviolent person is one who does not kill anybody, does not harm anybody, because he is against killing and against harming; but if somebody starts harming him, then too, he is against killing; he won't allow it. He will never initiate any...
... factual - when you kill somebody in a dream you really kill them - but they are not true. When you wake up you suddenly find it was just a dream. Just as something can be factual yet not true, the opposite has also to be understood: something may be true, absolutely true, but may not manifest as a fact. The fact is a lower phenomenon. I can explain it only in a way.... On a full-moon night, sitting by...
... British empire. They tried to remove any possible evidence that Jesus had been in the East learning the art of inward-going. But in spite of all their efforts, there are intrinsic proofs. And now I come to the story in Jesus' life: For three days he and his disciples had gone hungry, because the towns they were passing through were very fanatically Jewish and they would not give them shelter. On the...
...?" says the doctor. "In order to do that, we've got to surgically remove half your brain." The man says that it doesn't matter what it takes, he wants the operation anyway. Afterwards, when he wakes up, he finds the doctor standing beside his bed. "I'm terribly sorry," says the doctor, "we made a bad mistake. We removed three quarters of your brain." The man slaps his...
... so unique that he cannot be equal to anybody else. That does not mean that he is higher or lower; that simply means everybody is unique. And there is no question of comparison, the comparison does not arise. The rose is perfectly beautiful being a rose; the lotus is perfectly beautiful being a lotus. The grass leaf is perfectly beautiful being a grass leaf. If you remove man from the earth, the...
... - remove God and the world is accidental, meaningless. And the mind has an intrinsic incapacity to live with meaninglessness, so it creates all kinds of fictions - God, nirvana, heaven, paradise, other life beyond death - and makes a whole system. But it is a fiction, to fulfill a certain psychological need. I cannot say, "There is God." I cannot say, "There is not God." To me the...
... that exists can be touched. Bring light - I would like to touch it. Anything that exists, you can hit it with something, it will make sound. Let me hear the sound of your light being hit by something. If it has any smell bring it to my nose, I can smell it. If it has any taste, I can taste it. These are the four possibilities with me." Now, you cannot taste light, and you cannot create a sound...
