... you cannot possess God - that is the way to kill him. When I use the word "god", I mean life, existence. I am not a theologian and I don't believe in any God as a person sitting in heaven creating the world. Just look at this world: look at the madness of humanity. In three thousand years it has fought five thousand wars. If God has created this humanity then he must be mad, because a tree...
... the animal to remain in the mountains. It started coming to the fields and the gardens on the plains in thousands, and the problem for the Hindus was that they could not kill it because its name is blue cow. It is not a cow; it just looks like a cow. But the very word cow to the Hindu mind means "the mother." They have worshiped the cow for thousands of years and the prejudice has gone so...
... deep - they can kill the bull, who is logically their father, if the cow is their mother.... They kill the bulls; they save only a few to create more cows and more bulls. The bulls are of no use; they are wild and so strong... they castrate their own fathers, and then the bull becomes just a bullock. In the Indian parliament there was great controversy; something had to be decided. Those blue cows...
... destroyed your life. It has made everything condemned. Your love is sin, your being comfortable is sin, your being rich is sin... Jesus says, "Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the kingdom of God." Can anybody who has a little sense, agree with Jesus that "blessed are the poor"? If the poor are blessed, then why is everybody trying to remove the poverty from the world? Then...
... were immensely happy. That made him even more angry. Rama continued repeating the lines he had been told to say. He said, "Hanuman, my devoted friend..." And Hanuman said, "To hell with your friends! Perhaps I have fractures." Rama went on saying, "My brother is dying." Hanuman said, "He can die any moment. What I want to know is, who cut the rope? I will kill him...
...." And Shantinath hit him on his head and said, "This will make you remember my name. My name is Muni Shantinath Maharaj." The man said, "I'm from your village, your friend. I simply wanted to know whether you had changed or not. Twenty years have gone down the Ganges without any change in you. You are the same person. You can deceive the whole world, but how are you managing to...
.... By jumping and creating a little sound, and then suddenly the whole silence, you will feel grateful to the frog. It is not a disturbance; you will not feel angry. If you were a serious meditator you would like to kill the frog. You came so far away to the ancient pond to meditate - and this frog seems to be some enemy out of your past life. And is this the point, the time... to disturb? If you are...
... shopkeeper, "When I have worked it out I would love and appreciate very much if you can come to see what has become of the stone, because I have already seen it. It is only a question of chipping the stone here and there. Somebody is encaged in the stone who has called me, I have not to do much, I have not to create anything - just to remove the unnecessary parts." And he created the most...
... had ever seen. But Michelangelo said, "It was Mary and Jesus who called me. I was coming into your shop and they called me, saying, 'We are encaged in this stone - just give us freedom.'" That's how every artist works. Before he starts making a statue he has already seen it in his vision. Then he has just to remove the unnecessary parts. The master is the greatest artist in the world. He...
... and it is night now and I have wasted the whole day talking about spirituality and great things. And finally I ended up with you, and now I am coming with a crowd for dinner and there is nothing in the house. You can understand my situation. She will kill me." They said, "This is strange. You should have remembered. How should we know it? But now we are not going back." Mulla said...
... master in, because he won't care about your invitation, he is going to enter in. He is your master. You have accepted him as your master, and unconsciously you may have invited him many times to come to you, and now he has come. Now there is no way to escape. It is better to accept the fact that he is going to kill you as you have known you up to now, and he is going to give you a new birth. Socrates...
... conductor said you are a sudra. Either I will kill myself or I will kill you." I said, "I know what has happened - that conductor is such a joker! He must have told you, 'He is a sudra. I have known him for many years and he has become converted to Christianity.' " He said, "Yes, he told me." I said, "You are so gullible - anybody says something, and you believe it." So...
... world war proved that they were not born to rule over the world. Hitler killed six million people with this superiority complex - because to kill the inferior people is good for the earth, they are an unnecessary burden. But the people he was killing were Jews - who have been carrying the same idea for centuries, that they are the only chosen people of God. But they have not been able to prove it to...
... population was only four hundred million. And I was from the very beginning for birth control; I was condemned because religions are against it. I was for the pill; I was stoned, efforts were made to kill me, because I was "destroying their morality." If they had listened to me they would not be in such a trouble. Now the population is nine hundred million - more than double. And by the end of...
... a temple of mother goddess Kali -- "Just saying, 'Remove this cancer' will be enough." Ramakrishna said, "Don't be angry with me. I have tried it, but the moment I close my eyes and I see the mother goddess, I forget about the cancer." All the disciples gathered with Ramakrishna's wife, Sharda, and told her, "Now only you can help." Sharda went to Ramakrishna and said...
... not be frightened and we will fight to victory!" the captain replied. The next day the lookout came running. "Captain! Captain!" he cried, "there are a hundred Spanish galleons on the horizon!" At these words the captain's face turned white, and he called to his lookout, "Quick, bring me my brown pants!" Just be alert! I love you, so I'm going to kill you -- that's...
... certain. Love is a sure killer. But I kill gradually, because in my experience if you kill suddenly, people start escaping. Gradually, they don't know what is happening, they come to know only when they are gone. And this place is for only those who are ready to be gone. You become your ultimate flowering only when you are not. It is a strange fundamental law of existence, and there is no way to change...
... Supreme Court. They were expelled from their own countries for crimes which were so big that the countries could not tolerate them. They would either kill them or throw them out. Then people from Africa were forced, bribed, persuaded and given great promises, hopes that they were going to a rich world where they would receive all the facilities. What they found here was that they were sold in the...
... over their continent and we are paying them. For generations we have been paying them but to pay them salaries for no work is not humanitarian. What will they do with that money? They will get drunk; they will take drugs. They will gamble; they will fight, kill each other. What else do they have to do? Money comes without any effort. They will go on creating more and more children because with each...
... as they exist in other countries. They were educated, highly qualified, and you forced them to kill innocent, poor Vietnamese for no reason. Who are you to interfere in the whole world? You want to put your nose in everywhere? It is Vietnam's decision whether it wants to be communist or not. And what happened there? Thirty percent of the American soldiers did not kill anybody. They could see that...
... very unconscious love. They do not know what they are doing. It has been done to them by their parents, and they are simply repeating it. And in this way one generation gives all its diseases to the other generation. And for centuries all kinds of idiotic ideas remain prevalent, remain alive because there are people who believe in them. They are ready to die for those ideas, they are ready to kill...
... would like to kill me - although they are vegetarians. They don't want to kill anybody, but as far as I am concerned, they are ready to kill me: "This man is going to teach people to eat eggs." They don't see a simple point: that an unfertilized egg is not alive, it is pure protein. And it makes the vegetarian food complete and competitive; in fact, it gives more protein than meat...
...? A disciple is one who wants to be, who feels that as he is, he is utterly empty, his life is nothing but a futile exercise; who feels that he is living meaninglessly - in one word, who feels himself in despair. In one of the existentialist novels a man commits a murder, but the murder is strange - because he kills a man who he has never known. There is no question of friendship or enmity, he has...
... reason at all to murder. And when the judge asks why, he says, "I have been asking why, and there seems to be no answer. I also don't have any answer." Then circumstantial evidence is produced. One man says, "This young man has been eccentric from the very beginning. He is my neighbor - the day his mother died, he said, 'That woman has decided to die on Sunday just to spoil my holiday...
... anything on my own. I had decided to commit suicide, but suicide is criminal, and this society is insane. If you fail in committing suicide and you are caught, then they crucify you. Because you were committing suicide, as a punishment they crucify you. Great logic. I wanted to commit suicide. I said, 'This is the best way - first commit a murder.' At least I can say that I have done one thing in my life...
... the army to kill people and to be killed. Your whole structure of society will collapse. With the total man coming in, there will be a different structure of society: unambitious but immensely joyful - without great men. Perhaps you have never thought about it: great men can exist only because millions of people are not great; otherwise, who is going to remember Gautam Buddha? If there were millions...
... danger to their lives, that in a miserable world you should behave just as others are behaving. When everybody is crying and weeping you should not laugh; otherwise, those crying and weeping people will kill you. Lani, you were pulled towards the commune because you had not read any books and you were not burdened with borrowed knowledge. You were not in search of truth; otherwise, naturally, you would...
... receptive, to be trusting. And ego cannot do these things. These things will kill the ego immediately; hence, the ego goes on giving rationalizations why you should not be the disciple. But there is a basic and essential need in every human being of finding the meaning of life, the significance of being here in existence. You may be aware or not, but there is a deep longing to know, "Who am I?"...
... started, but only one issue was printed, because in heaven, nothing happens - no rape, no murder, no smuggling, no riots. Here people are just old saints, sitting under their trees, chanting their mantras, that's all. All their photographs and all their mantras have been published in the first issue, and since then nothing has happened. "So even those twelve journalists are sitting without any work...
... was really a "Father God," he would have done something. He is supposed to be omnipotent, all-powerful, and he cannot remove man's misery, he cannot remove man's tensions, he cannot help man to sing again, dance again under the stars? Looking at man and his psychology, Zarathustra's conclusion seems to be absolutely correct - God must be dead. And the people who have pretended to be His...
... then soon they will start killing people just to eat. Shopkeepers will start having professional killers to kill children, because the cannibals say that the meat of children is the most delicious thing in the world. If there is a God who loves, who is compassionate, for what is He waiting? Looking at the reality, what is happening in Palestine is going to happen in almost three-fourths of the world...
... you drink the water, think twice, because I was a fool to drink the water. "Now I want to die. I am tired - tired of existence, tired of its meaninglessness, but I cannot even commit suicide. There is no way to die. I have tried everything. I have drunk every kind of poison; I have allowed poisonous cobras to bite me, but nothing affects me. I have hit my head with stones, but got not even a...
