... Russia, when Leon Trotsky was the war minister there. He was very strict with rules, discipline, this and that. There was going to be a great meeting of the Communist Party, and he was in charge to issue passes. He completely forgot that he also needed a pass to enter the hall. When he went there the policeman who was standing at the gate stopped him. He said, "Where is your pass?" Leon...
... Trotsky said, "Don't you recognize me?" He said, "I recognize you perfectly well - you are our war minister. But where is your pass?" Trotsky said, "Look at the other passes you are holding in your hands. They are signed by me." The policeman said, "Maybe, but this is the rule, that nobody can enter without a pass. So go back home and find a pass." Leon Trotsky...
... has written in his diary, "I could see how powerful he was feeling that day - saying no to the war minister, making him feel tiny." People go on saying no. The child says to the mother: Can I go outside and play? and immediately, without thinking for a single moment, she says: No! Politics! What is wrong in being outside, going outside and playing? And the child is going to go; the child...
..., Krishna"; that is useless, futile. Remembering him means forgetfulness of yourself. If you are not, if you are forgotten, completely forgetful of yourself, abandoned, he is. When you are not, suddenly he is - and this can happen in a single moment. I am reminded that after the second world war it happened in a small village in England that there was a statue of Jesus just on the crossroads - a...
... beautiful statue with raised hands. And on the statue there was a plate, and on that plate it was written: Come unto me. In the second world war the statue was destroyed; a bomb fell upon it. And when there was restoration work and the village was again coming to be alive after the war, they remembered the statue, so they tried to find fragments of it. In the ruins the fragments were found and the statue...
... did this courage come? From where this totality? From where this awareness? But it can be only in such special situations that without any discipline, just the situation can create so much awakening in you. Whenever I have read this story, I have always remembered Adolf Hitler. For five years continuously he was winning the war on all fronts, alone -- fighting the whole world. And the reason he was...
... winning the war was that he was not listening to the generals at all. A noah's ark of consciousness Fighting is an art; in the military you go through a long training. Hitler's advisors were not generals and experts in military science; his advisors were astrologers. They would tell him where to attack and where not to attack, and that was the reason that for five years he went on winning -- because the...
... years until Churchill decided, in spite of himself -- knowing that this is stupidity -- that astrologers from India would come to London. And from that very day, Germany started falling apart -- because now astrologers were against astrologers; it was no more a war between two armies. As stupid as Adolf Hitler was, Winston Churchill had found even greater idiots from India. Things changed -- just...
... humanity the possibility to commit total suicide. That is their contribution of thousands of years. Religions have contributed AIDS. That is their only contribution. They created all kinds of perversions. It was in the monasteries that homosexuality was born. So all the religions are responsible for AIDS and it is going to destroy almost two- third of humanity. If somehow the third world war can be...
... are dead and we are ready to give you a living religiousness so you will not feel empty, you will not miss your dead religion that you have been carrying." And we have to tell the politicians that it is time you start thinking of dropping old ways of dividing the world into nations, because that's what creates war. Those boundaries have to be withdrawn. The earth has to be declared one. And we...
... what I am saying, they will really prove democratic, lovers of freedom, really fair and just. And if it is possible then the third world war becomes automatically impossible, because Red Indians cannot manage nuclear weapons, nor they will be interested in it. Soon I will have to face the Supreme Court and I will ask. If they want, I will face the Senate, or whosoever they want, I am ready to face it...
... there because most of the nations' wealth - every nation's wealth - goes to the war. Nuclear weapons, atomic weapons - they are the cause of poverty. So my second thing is that all nations should stop war manufacturing machines. If they really want the poverty to disappear, then every scientific effort should be for creativity, productivity, not for destruction and death. And it is so simple: seventy...
...-five percent of the income of the nations is going into war. And you want people to be rich! Even the richest country like America has thirty million street people, beggars. If America cannot afford to provide for thirty million people food and shelter and clothes, what about a country like India? And still, Ronald Reagan is going on piling up nuclear weapons - in fact, almost against the whole world...
... group with its own territory which no other group can enter or there will be violence, war. The same has happened with man. This is the boundary: China begins here and India ends here. The question of the boundary is a great problem and ultimately only force decides where the boundary will be. If you go into politics deeply and if you compare it with a baboon group or any other animal group, you will...
... continuous wars and of baboon chiefs - you may call them Alexander or Hitler, it makes no difference - fighting for territory, fighting for boundaries, fighting for ego power. Man has survived in spite of this whole politics of war because there has been no total weapon. But now that we have total weapons we can destroy the whole world. And because of our animal tendencies, there seems to be no future for...
... has taken charge. Now it is the higher which is acting, and wherever it leads, Mohammed follows like a shadow. If the higher leads him into war, Mohammed goes willingly. That is why Krishna is trying to convince Arjuna to surrender. "Surrender to me," he says, "and there will be no problem for you. Then I will take charge - I will fight through you." But then, you are not. The...
.... In three thousand years, five thousand wars - this is man's record. Man has simply butchered, killed, murdered; he has lived as if only for war. There are a few days in between two wars which we call days of peace. They are not days of peace; they are only days of preparing for the new war. Yes, a few years are needed to prepare... and again the war, again we go on killing each other. It is enough...
... in now? When is he going to come? And what did he do when he really came? He didn't help anybody. In fact, in his days the greatest war in India was fought. If we believe the scriptures, so many people died in that war... the whole of India could not have contained so many people. Even now the whole world contains only three times as many. It must have been some war! Today it would have been one...
... Zarathustra is right: THEY CALLED GOD THAT WHICH CONTRADICTED AND HARMED THEM.... and goes on contradicting and harming them. Then who is responsible for nuclear weapons? Who was responsible for Adolf Hitler and the second world war? Who was responsible for fifty million people's deaths in the second world war? And who will be responsible if the Third World War happens and all life is destroyed on this...
... alive, but it became a success and nobody can tolerate a success. IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY YOU SAID YOU ARE DISILLUSIONED AND YOU WANT THE THIRD WORLD WAR. BUT SOME PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS ARE NOT EVILDOERS. WE WANT TO SURVIVE. WHAT IS THE WAY? WHAT IS THE SORT OF NEW CREATION YOU ENVISAGE? First, you hear only what you want to hear. You don't hear me. I have not even...
... finding who is hidden behind these bones -- the intelligence, the consciousness. So if the world disappears into the smoke of a nuclear war nothing is lost, just skin and bones -- which are going to be lost anyway. Right now you lose them individually. Politicians, out of compassion, are preparing a collective death. Why bother to die individually when we can die altogether? There are already so many...
