... him; the I becomes primary and God secondary. Because of this danger, Mahavir, Patanjali, Gorakh and others who follow this path lay great stress on the annihilation of the ego. Make the effort, put your all into it, but renounce your ego is what they stress so emphatically. If the ego functions along with the effort, it will get stronger and stronger. Then you feel in whatever you do, I am doing it...
... within, there is violence without; when knowledge is within, compassion is without. They are associated with one another, but knowledge, discernment and intelligence must be based on actions. This is a funny situation: you think of all the good things in the world and do all the bad. Your thoughts turn to the good, while your actions are bad. But what you think is of no account; only your actions will...
... alien, strange to it, you rejoice in it. And it is a blessing. The Western mind feels very very embarrassed with the idea - 'How can nothingness be a joy?' You have always been trying to BE; nothingness seems like death, annihilation. How can nothingness be a joy? That's why the Western philosophers think that Buddha is the greatest pessimist in the world. He is not; this is an interpretation. The...
... debate with a Master. It is impossible. He has no ego. How can you debate with a Master? You have the ego, hence the idea of debate - debate is a kind of wrestling, a very sophisticated wrestling, fighting. It is nothing but violence in a very civilized form. "HEY, ZEN MASTER!" HE CALLED OUT. "WAIT A MINUTE. WHOEVER RESPECTS YOU WILL OBEY WHAT YOU SAY, BUT A MAN LIKE MYSELF DOES NOT...

Aspro represses - anger remains hidden inside you, violence goes on raging inside you. You only keep the alarm shut, that's all. Nothing changes, only the...
... people will only be the cause of the destruction of the idol - because although they go daily go to worship idols, there is no transformation in their lives and so idol worship seems futile. A person worships an idol for forty years - and nothing happens to him.... And he drags his son to the temple too. When the son asks his father that if he hasn't got anything from forty years of worship, why is he...
... living temples but dead places. The new temples of today are certainly dead places. It is impossible to destroy a living temple because it is not an ordinary event. If it is destroyed it only means that that which you thought to be alive was not alive, as for instance the Somanath temple. The story of its destruction is a very strange one and it is indicative of the science of all temples. There were...
... not matter to me. It does not hurt me, because I know something which is indestructible; no poison, no bombs, no nuclear weapons can destroy it. My being, my spirituality is beyond any destruction. It is eternal and immortal. So it is not a question of hurting me. My criticism of America and Christianity has nothing to do with my personal attitude. I am against all religions, not only Christianity...
... before death comes. When such terrible preparations have been made for violence the old ideas of nations cannot work. Now it is dangerous. It is because of these same nations that armaments have accumulated. For their security... So the other doesn't somehow get ahead, we have to keep ahead of them. Eighty percent of humanity's ability goes into war. If this eighty percent ability went into farming...
... are, the more anarchy spreads, the higher his pulpit grows - because then there is more need for him to exhort people to observe non-violence, to be truthful, to behave honestly, to observe this regulation, to stick to that rule, and so forth.
