... Ghost fellow I will kill him. I will say to myself, "To hell with all non-violence, at least for the moment, kill this fellow! Later on we will see. We can be non-violent again later on." I would put a woman in his place. Immediately Christianity would come to its senses. Another Californian car-sticker which I gave to Gudia to keep says, "The best man for the job is probably a woman...
... buy it but this is impossible. You will have to acquire it yourself." There is no other way. The truth cannot be purchased. It can neither be obtained as a gift nor by begging. And it cannot be conquered by attack. Attacking truth is not the way to attain it. Violence is an expression of ego and where the ego is truth cannot exist. To attain truth you have to reduce yourself to zero. Truth...
... the brahmin seer to make love to her and make her pregnant. He could not reject her. So Parasurama went on cutting off the heads of the warriors; the widows were left, and they were going to the seers .... It was a good business, a great conspiracy! The whole country was in a state of prostitution, and Parasurama was killing. Such violence cannot be accepted as a quality of God. And it seems...
... way. I threaten to kill you -- this is violence. And I threaten to kill myself if you don't accept me -- is this logical? The standpoint that Gandhi was taking was absolutely illogical, but he supported it by threatening. It is blackmail to say, "I will kill myself." Ambedkar managed another way. He started converting the sudras to Buddhism. That's why now there are a few lakhs of...
..., jealousy you have repressed, possessiveness you have repressed, hatred you have repressed. Violence, murderousness, you have repressed. ALL these things are there! This is the cockroach inside you. Violence has become one leg, and possessiveness has become another leg, and jealousy has become another leg.... When you go in, you will have to face these. Of course, this is not the whole story. If you CAN...
... foreigner. He is loved in China, in Tibet, in Japan, in Ceylon, in Thailand. The whole of Asia is Buddhist except for India; and he was born in India, and he is no more here. What happened? The Hindus took revenge: they destroyed... And remember, their destruction was far more clever than the Jewish destruction of Jesus - because the Jews killed Jesus, and that is where they committed a great mistake. The...
... body develops feminine traits. For instance, if we were to examine the body or the personality of Mahavira or Buddha, they appear more feminine than masculine. The softness and beauty of a woman combined with the feminine receptivity is increased in them. The quality of aggression leaves them, and so they become full of nonviolence, compassion and love; violence and anger are banished forever...
... perform shaktipat on anyone. His personality had become completely feminine. With the help of the meditation techniques of Buddha and Mahavira, hundreds of thousands of people attained to the fourth body. As soon as they reached the fourth plane their personalities became feminine. By this I mean that the passive side of their nature developed. Violence and anger vanished as aggression left them...
... on the surface comes from the roots. If you want to destroy a tree, don't go on pruning the leaves; that is not going to help. Leaves are actions. And that's what people go on doing: their being is violent and they try to become non-violent. Then on the surface, just on the surface, they manage a veneer, a facade of non-violence. Deep down they remain the same violent people, because no action can...
... in deep meditation, cannot be violent. Violence erupts from you because you go on repressing so much anger that by and by it becomes very sour, bitter, poisonous. And one day it is too much and the steam has to be let out. But the meditator does not repress. He tries to understand rather than repress. His whole approach changes: because he does not repress, he never carries any wounds in him. He...
... nothing else can. If you become politically powerful the whole country is in your grip; the whole country has to pay attention to you. You can impose your will on people, you have power. The power of a politician is the power of violence. Now he controls the whole mechanism of violence: he controls the police, the government, the military, he controls everything. He can impose his will on you. That's...
... SOMEONE WHOSE GUIDE IS LOVE, BELIEF AND DISBELIEF ARE EQUALLY A VEIL, CONCEALING THE DOORWAY OF THE FRIEND; HIS VERY BEING IS A VEIL WHICH HIDES GOD'S ESSENCE. UNTIL YOU THROW YOUR SWORD AWAY, YOU'LL NOT BECOME A SHIELD UNTIL YOU LAY YOUR CROWN ASIDE, YOU'LL NOT BE FIT TO LEAD. THE DEATH OF SOUL IS THE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE; BUT DEATH OF LIFE IS THE SOU'S SALVATION. NEVER STAND STILL ON THE PATH: BECOME...
... this fear - because this fear perpetuates itself; it becomes bigger and bigger and it drowns you in its mud. THE DEATH OF SOUL IS THE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE; BUT DEATH OF LIFE IS THE SOUL'S SALVATION. Don't be afraid to die as an ego - because the moment you die as an ego, you are reborn. Let the ego be crucified, and you will have resurrection. The death of the self is the salvation of the soul. That's...
... yourself if you feel you are a sinner? Christianity creates guilt in people, tremendous guilt. And if you are guilty you cannot love yourself; you will hate yourself, you would like to destroy yourself. That's what the so-called Christian saints have been doing down the ages - destroying themselves. Out of guilt, only destruction can arise; out of guilt, only suicide. And they go on teaching, "Love...
..., violence. And to be in that conflict, naturally it teaches you discontentment with yourself - otherwise how will you improve? It gives you great ideals: "You have to be like this." And then suddenly you look so short, so small, so tiny, so trivial. The ideal is so big, so great, and you are so small. You shrink: a great rejection arises in you, you start hating yourself. This is the whole...
