...; because they are related, and if one enters, they all enter. But everybody feels like that in the beginning, and in fact it should be so - but don't pay much attention to it. Don't make it a trip, otherwise it can become a destructive thing. [A sannyasin asks: When I was ten years old... I was laughing uncontrollably, and my father hit me for it. Now I feel I cant laugh totally... Can you teach me how...
... flow back. It will be a vomiting of the water - and it will clean your passage. Nothing else is needed. The hit has made a block in the passage so that whenever you want to laugh, that stops it. In Yoga, this is a necessary procedure to be followed. They call it a 'necessary purification'. It purifies tremendously, and it gives a very clean passage - all the blocks dissolve. You will enjoy it and you...
...; just hit-and-run, just touching the surface and escaping before anything becomes a commitment. Then you can only have sex, and that too, impoverished. It is just superficial. Only boundaries meet, but that is not love at all... maybe a body release, a catharsis, but not more than that. The fear is that now you want to go deeper; it is not that the girl may be lost. You are afraid and hesitant. We can...
... question, her poverty was not true poverty. But when Zen Master Stonehead hit her head with his staff, she bowed down with gratitude. Just think, if somebody hits you and you bow down and express your thankfulness, the poverty changes. It becomes real poverty, and the real poverty is the real richness. The false poverty is dependent on your possessions. The man who brought me to Poona sometime in the...
... IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT FOR SEVERAL DAYS, ANOTHER ACTIVITY COULD BE UNDERTAKEN IN THE SAME MANNER. PERHAPS TRIGGERS COULD ALSO BE USED - LIKE A PARTICULAR PERSON OR A CERTAIN COLOR - TO RECALL THE SPACE OF WITNESSING. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA OR ARE THERE PITFALLS I CAN'T SEE? Maneesha, it is a good idea, but you will still get a hit. Stonehead, a real German hit! (THERE IS THE SOUND OF NISKRIYA'S ZEN...
... sick, and I don't need any healing. The poison was given to me two years ago. Because it has not been able to kill me, the man who was responsible for prosecuting me has been fired from his job as Attorney General of Oregon in America. He has been fired because he could neither manage thirty to forty years of jail punishment for me, nor a good dose of poison to kill me, nor to put a bomb in my room...
... Ronald Reagan and his company. Out of fear they could not give the whole dose; otherwise one dies within twelve hours. That's what the experts from England have informed me, who have presumed that the poison given to me was thallium. It kills within twelve hours, but if given in small doses it takes time. It may kill within six months, but now even that time has passed. The poison is out of my system...
... then that which spills over would of itself cleanse the outside? You wicked reprobates! you make the outward performances of your religion to conform with the letter of your interpretation of Moses’ law while your souls are steeped in iniquity and filled with murder. (1908.3) 175:1.19 “Woe upon all of you who reject truth and spurn mercy! Many of you are like whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear...
... of whom they spoke. You garnish the tombs of the righteous and flatter yourselves that, had you lived in the days of your fathers, you would not have killed the prophets; and then in the face of such self-righteous thinking you make ready to slay him of whom the prophets spoke, the Son of Man. Inasmuch as you do these things, are you witness to yourselves that you are the wicked sons of them who...
..., killed at least one million people in his own land. These were the same people for whom the revolution was preached; and of these million people, most of them were revolutionaries. He had to kill them because now those revolutionaries were a risk. To let them live was dangerous because they were asking continually, "What happened to the revolution?" Only the people in power had changed, but...
... assassinated immediately - just a mad mind corrupted by power. And he sent professional murderers to find where Trotsky was, he had to be killed - he could not be left alive anywhere in the world. And Trotsky had escaped to an unknown part of Mexico, far away from the Soviet Union, at the other end of the world. But they finally found him, and he was brutally murdered by being hit on his head repeatedly with...
... a hammer. His whole skull was broken into pieces. He was writing a biography of Joseph Stalin so future generations would know that just to change the people in power is not enough - Stalin had proved to be far worse than the Czars. It is a big volume, almost one thousand pages; and a rare biography written by an enemy, so sincere, so truthful. When he was hit on his head from behind with a hammer...
... many times of another seeker, who finally became a master - and he became a master because of Al-Adabiya. There is a limit... he was continuously praying, sitting outside the mosque, "God, open the door, let me in." She tolerated him for a few days, but the point came when she could not tolerate it. She hit him hard on his head and said, "You idiot, open your eyes! The doors are open...
... this way and that way, but he would get hit again by the lampposts. A policeman was watching from the road, felt mercy for the poor man - he had hurt his whole face, scratched it - so he came to rescue him. The drunkard asked, "Just this evening when I left the house, there was only one lamppost. Who is the idiot who has made twelve lampposts? And they won't let me out. Whichever way I go, the...
...." He said, "My God, so this is useless?" He threw it out of the window. "I will have to take another bath." I said, "You promised. As a high-cast brahmin, breaking a promise is a sin." He said, "You will kill me! And we have to travel for twenty-four hours together." People have been cheated by the priests, by the politicians, by the pedagogues for...
... SHOULD HAVE NO SUCCESSORS." What he is saying is, "If I have to say it, then you are not capable of being my successor. I can say it. Neither the lips are needed nor the mouth. Just a good hit and you will know it that I have said it." Ordinarily Hyakujo was not very much into hitting people. Perhaps this was the first time he had gone so far: "My hit is going to be so great that...
... perhaps you will fall dead. I won't have any successors. And even if you survive my hit, you would have disqualified yourself. You have not answered. Rather than answering my question, you have questioned me - and this is a test to choose a successor." HYAKUJO TURNED TO GOHO. "WITH YOUR MOUTH AND LIPS CLOSED, HOW WOULD YOU SAY IT?" HE ASKED HIS SECOND DISCIPLE. GOHO SAID, "OSHO! YOU...
... found by Japanese scientists to be very healthgiving. Bigger doses can kill; as the quantity becomes bigger it becomes dangerous. A qualitative change comes in through greater quantity. At the very minimum, soft doses of radiation can create immense health and well-being. One scientist in Japan has been working for twenty years in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on this particular project: Is there any...
... excitement possible. The master called him - he had not been calling him for many days - and then slapped him. The disciple could not believe it. He had not said anything, he had not done anything. He asked, "Why have you hit me?" The master said, "You needed a little change. And moreover you have to go to the monastery of my eternal enemy, opposite. Now you have to live with that master...
... of you that I should be accepted as your disciple." The master said, "This is very strange. And you followed whatever he said?" The disciple said, "I had to. He hit me very hard also, and he is a dangerous fellow. If I don't follow he will beat me every day, morning, afternoon, evening, in the middle of the night. He is not reliable. I thought it prudent to come to you."...
... Aurelius. Any Kabir could hit the emperor and bring him beyond his senses. I don't know whether this is permitted in your language or not, to "bring someone beyond their senses." Bringing him to his senses is certainly permitted, but that is not my work, anybody could do that. Even a good hit could do it, a stone in the road could do it. A Buddha is not needed for that, a Buddha is needed to...
... fifty again in the evening. Now, to eat fifty leaves of the neem tree really needs someone who is determined to kill himself! It is so bitter, but it purifies the blood and keeps you absolutely free from any infection, even in India, which is a miracle! Even the wind passing through the leaves of a neem tree is thought to be purer than any other. People plant neem trees around their houses just to...
...; and no matter how many "sophies" there are, they are all nonsense - write nonsense, without a hyphen - pure nonsense. Because ordinarily the word is written with a hyphen, dividing "non" from "sense." I don't see any point in the hyphen. At least remove it from my words except when I say that Zen is non-sense, then of course the hyphen needs to be there. I had first...
... they are stupid. The bell does not know; the man who rings the bell does not know, so why should you stop? If you make it a point that you will not stop, then listen, I will also make it a point, man to man, that if you stop I will hit you so hard you may not survive." He said, "What? You will hit me?" He was a Bengali man. I said, "I simply meant metaphorically. I will touch your...
