... something else - money, power, prestige, respectability. Find something else. What will you do with truth?" I said, "You are right; truth has no utility. It will not make you more respectable; on the contrary, your truth may take you to the cross. It may make you more condemned. Wherever you are, people will avoid you: 'This man has truth, avoid!'" Truth is a very contagious disease. People...
... have their lies, comfortable lies, and when they come to encounter a man of truth all their lies start falling down. And those lies are their whole life, their earning, their success, their money, their power. The man of truth is avoided, and if he is stubborn then he has to suffer the fate of Socrates: the society poisoned him - or he has to suffer the fate of Jesus: the society crucified him. In...
... years... It disturbs nobody; it is so far away from everybody - even to reach there is a difficult task. They live on the very roof of the world. The highest mountains, eternal snows, are their home. Leave them alone! China will not lose anything, but the whole world will be benefited by their experience. And the world will need their experience. The world is getting fed up with money, power, prestige...
... times more men commit suicide, although at least forty times more women threaten to commit suicide. But they don't. Women have remained in a way closer to nature because they were deprived from participating in man's power struggle. In disguise, this curse proved a blessing. Man made himself more and more tense, neurotic - and then there comes a point where life becomes so heavy, each moment such a...
...." "Secondly," Buddha thought, "even if I speak, manage somehow to deliver the message, who is going to listen?" People are interested in money, in power, in politics, in becoming bigger and bigger, higher and higher compared to others. Who is really interested in enlightenment? It is just an accident if you come across a man who is enlightened and get infected. The thing is...
..., or to remain stuck on the bank like a lamppost. That is up to you. But I cannot forgive those people who remained silent. They were selfish, utterly selfish, more selfish than those people who go on accumulating power, money, and all kinds of things of the world. They are nothing, because what they are accumulating is junk. But the man who has known enlightenment and keeps it to himself, he cannot...
...? Knowledge that is being imparted destroys the power of thinking. In the crowd of thoughts, this power gets crushed. Memory gets trained, but the springs of knowledge remain unrecognized. This trained memory begins to give the illusion of knowledge. The individual who is educated under this so-called system of education is obliged to learn to think and has to unlearn what he has learnt before. I too was...
... independent. She wanted to fly in the open sky, but she was encaged - you are not. This is one of the reasons why I cannot communicate to the vast majority of this country - because the man will not be willing to listen to me; it goes against his domination, his power. And the woman cannot understand me; she is not educated. Even if she can understand me, she is not financially able to be independent; she...
... wrong, much wrong, to women. And they feel sorry for it. But they have not done it. If their forefathers did it, it is beyond their power to undo it; what has happened, has happened. They have a deep apology in their hearts for what man has done to women. And you have to understand this, that these are a different category of people. I am creating every possibility for the New Man - a man who is not...
... lead you to the right path. This prayer itself will take you. In praying thus, you will be able to lead yourself. Prayer is a power, a very great power. There is tremendous energy hidden in a small atom, but the energy hidden in these small prayers is many times more powerful than that in an infinite numbers of atoms. Pray and see; test it! The result is immediate. You will be light in no time. You...
... OSHO, WHAT IS MEANT BY A SPIRITUAL EGO? IS SPIRITUAL GREED ONE OF ITS SYMPTOMS? IS IT CURABLE? Anand Tarangini, the spiritual ego is not something different from the ordinary ego. Somebody feels his ego because he has money, somebody feels his ego strengthened because he has political power. Somebody feels ego because he has great respectability. But the ego is the same. Somebody feels that he is...
... -- material or spiritual -- is simply greed. Greed means you want more and more and more; there never comes a time when this continuous hankering for more, stops. So whether you are in search of more spirituality or more money or more power, it does not matter. But in fact, about spirituality, you should understand that the same contradiction again arises: you become spiritual only when this desire for more...
... becomes your prayer. A noah's ark of consciousness. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, ROCKS EASILY DESTROY FLOWERS. THE POLITICIANS AND RELIGIONS SENSE THAT ENLIGHTENMENT, FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUALITY THREATEN THEIR POWER. IS IT FEAR ALONE THAT IS THE BASIS OF THE DARK USE OF INTELLIGENCE TO CRUSH MAN'S FINEST BLOSSOMS? OR IS THERE AN UNCONSCIOUS URGE FOR "ENDARKENMENT" TOO? Devageet, there is an...
... individuality threaten their power. Is it fear alone that is the basis of the dark use of intelligence to crush man's finest blossoms? or is there an unconscious urge for 'endarkenment' too?" There is; there has to be. Just as there is a longing for enlightenment, to reach to the highest peak of consciousness, there is certainly, parallel to it in the unconscious of human mind, a deep urge to drown...
... mind; in your hate it is your mind; in your lust for power it is your mind. Once you see the multidimensional capacity of the mind to create hell for you, the very understanding takes you out of it. You don't have to long, you don't have to desire; you don't have to do anything else other than understand the mind. Yama, you are saying to me, "I feel that the longing inside to go beyond the mind...
...: that you don't understand that by fighting you cannot go beyond mind. Fighting is simply one part of mind fighting with another part. It is like making both my hands fight with each other. Do you think any hand is going to win? It depends on me; I can make the right hand win or I can change the idea and make the left hand win. But I know perfectly well that it is within my power: both hands are mine...
.... Just forget all about it; nuclear weapons have already done. They have finished the idea of war. Politicians can go on talking about war because that keeps them in power, but there is going to be no war. Q:* WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN YOUR OPINION IF A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY GOT HOLD OF A BOMB AND DETONATED IT AND STARTED ANOTHER WAR? A:* NOBODY can start it because everybody knows that starting it is...
... production, their labor -- is being exported so that India can manage to have a nuclear plant. Sheer stupidity. But even if they can get, nobody can conceive India becoming a nuclear power comparable to the Soviet Union or America. Q:* INDIA MAY NOT HAVE IT NOW AND IT MAY NOT BE A THREAT, BUT WHAT ABOUT CUBA OR LIBYA OR KHADAFI? A:* NOBODY. Even if they can afford, even if they can make, nobody has guts to...
