...; otherwise why should they fight?" The politician laughed, he said, "You both are right in a way, but you are not aware of the real situation. Why in the first place did people accept your ideas, your philosophies, theologies? - because of us. We created the will-to-power. Of course, the right idea is going to succeed, but we created the whole idea of success, power, of reaching somewhere, of...
... attaining something, of being victorious." Only when there is a will-to-power do you start getting interested in the "right" kind of philosophy, the "right" kind of theology, the "right" kind of religion, so that you can reach the goal. And there are always many others who are saying, "We are right - where are you going?" All the religions are saying, "...
... thirty feet, then you will get real juicy ones. They are preserved for those who have courage. But from there, a fall is almost certain. You cannot do anything about it, it is not in your power. Just a little strong wind.... You cannot get down very quickly; the whole branch breaks away from the tree, and before you can do anything you are already on the ground. But my mother could never understand my...
... reality. You fill those gaps by ideas; and at least you start feeling satisfied that life is understood. Have you ever thought about this word "understand? It means standing under you. It is strange that this word has by and by taken a meaning which is far fetched from the original idea: anything that you can make stand under you, that is under your thumb, under your power, under your shoe, you are...
... would have been unable in any way to create Christianity. He had no organizational power, he had no capacity to influence the cream of the society. How was he going to create a religion? But the crucifixion did everything. In this world things function in a very strange way. Once he was crucified thousands of people who had never bothered about him felt sympathy for him. The same people who would not...
... going to wait? Now is the moment to change the direction of all your genius and intelligence. Then athato will mean something different, different from what it can mean to a businessman, to what it can mean to a king. He has been on a power trip, he has conquered as much as he wanted, he is tired. I am reminded of one of the greatest emperors, perhaps in the whole of world history. He was Ashoka. He...
... life. And not the life of ordinary people, but people of tremendous courage, who have given you absolute alternatives: 'Either we will live in freedom or we will die in freedom. Slavery is not acceptable. You may be a great king, you may have great power, but we have at least the power to die - you cannot take it away from us.'" The country was poor. It was not in any way comparable to the vast...
... who knows the meaning of life, a man who has experienced the great benediction of silence and serenity. His actions are bound to reflect his consciousness. And if you cannot remember my words, don't be worried about it. You are nourished by the meaning, and it is the meaning that will change you, your actions, your responses. It is not the power of the words that transforms anybody. There is no need...
... Lenin's problem. That created the Russian revolution. That made him the greatest revolutionary in the world. That made him the greatest, most powerful man on one-sixth of the land of the earth - the Soviet Union is one-sixth of the land of the whole earth. It is almost two continents. It starts in Europe and it ends in Asia, it covers the whole of Europe and Asia. All politicians are in search of power...
.... It is a will to power. But why? You must be feeling somehow powerless. You want to prove to yourself and to the world that you are not powerless because you know that if you don't do anything, you will suffer your whole life from inferiority and everybody else will look at you as inferior. This situation has to be changed. In this way, Adler was going to describe every profession possible, and what...
... you don't need any other meditation. The work is your meditation.'" And the people thought this must be my direction. It was not. When I failed completely to convince those people to change.... They could not change because they had no interest in meditation. They had an interest in having a big empire in the world, having big money, having great power. They did not want me to speak again. That...
... there is no load. And you have a health of mind, of soul - which was sucked away, so that you had never had any experience of it. You feel new vitality and new blood running through your veins. And because you are now discontinuous with the past, you don't have memories, psychological memories. If you want to remember, you can remember, but they are no longer a force on you. They don't have any power...
... for people so that they can come and be with me. If countries stop me from entering, then the only way is that I should be in some place where my sannyasins are close by, and they can come and be with me. So we have to have these small groups which are not a centralization of power, but are only functionally serving the whole sannyas commune around the world. And now every sannyasin is a small...
... be surprised to know how barbarous has been their behavior all through their history. The whole city of New York was purchased from the Red Indians by the so-called Americans for twenty-four silver dollars. Do you call that business? They were forced. The whole city of New York just for twenty-four dollars! All rights and wrongs up to now have been decided by whoever is powerful; it is power that...
... castes; everybody has to be free to do whatever he wants, to be whatever he wants; birth cannot decide his destiny." Buddha's teaching could not survive in India because the Brahmins' whole profession was at stake. If Buddha's message had spread, the Brahmins would have lost the power that they had, the warriors would have lost the power they had, and the sudras would have entered into every place...
... a limbo. He could not declare himself the king; for that Bharat had to renounce it formally. At least he should say, "I am no longer interested," but he had gone into silence and was simply meditating. Bahubali went there, very angry; and he was a man of tremendous power. He took Bharat up in his hands and was going to throw him down into the valley; even pieces of his body would not...
... about him? Just for power, money - and some power and some money that his father has thrown as useless, and his elder brother has simply said that because it does not belong to him, he cannot even renounce it. Bahubali changed his mind. He said, "I was going wrong." He put down Bharat and touched his feet; and Bharat went into his meditation just as before, as if nothing had happened. And...
... I have not given her my power of attorney to pray for me. And if I say this, you are disturbed that I criticized Mother Teresa. This clergyman was leaving yesterday; he had packed, he was so angry. But then he decided to write all these questions, and decided to listen to what I am going to say. I think after today it will be difficult for him to remain one more day. Mother Teresa has many...
... belong to Christianity. But to increase the numbers of Catholics in the world - because numbers mean power - she feeds them, clothes them, provides medical facilities; hence even stupid Hindus and Mohammedans think she is a saint. She is a sheer, dirty politician. One man with his wife, from America, went to Mother Teresa to adopt a child, because they were childless and the doctors had said that there...
... clergymen that she must be deriving all her power from the devil; otherwise a fragile woman, a young woman - how can she be so powerful? This was the reward that they gave to her: they condemned her as a witch and burned her alive. This was the judgment of an infallible pope. After three hundred years another infallible pope reconsidered the case - because people were not agreeing with it. It was such an...
... double. Women are prone to sickness in comparison to man just half as much; if they get sick, it is only fifty percent as often. If man has to be considered, he gets sick and is available to any infection twice as often as women, and more. What is the cause of it? The woman has more resistance power. The man is very weak against small bugs - and yet he becomes Muhammad Ali the great! He cannot fight...
..., worry, despair. If the woman were not forced by man to commit suicide, no woman would commit suicide. In fact, the woman's suicide is really a murder - murder by the man: man's society, man's rule, man's power. And the woman has survived all along without any complaint. That is strength. Man forcing the woman to commit suicide should be punished - it is a murder. But behind the word suicide he is...
... not distributing things here. Only those who have everything and still find themselves discontented, who have all kinds of power and still feel they are empty; those who have been educated in the great universities of the world - Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Varanasi - and still they find, after all this long process of education, wasting one-third of their lives.... What have they got? A few papers...
... in China to enter into the trinity; the day he died he was removed. When old gods fail a great vacuum is felt. It is not accidental that in this century Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and people like them became so powerful. Their power was not their own, their power existed in the vacuum that was left in the human heart because of the old values disappearing. And man has lived for so...
...;I want my wife and kids." "No problem," said Santa, "in two days they will be back." "Great!" exclaimed George. "What about my job?" "Well," said Santa, "there has been a power play. You just wait until New Year and you will be the director of Xerox." "Wow!" said George, "That's great! And what can I do for you?"...
