... suffering from a special cause: they need space. And as humanity has grown in population, murders have grown, crimes have grown, homosexuality has grown, lesbianism has grown. People are committing suicide like anything. War seems to be the only thing we are preparing for; it seems war is the only thing we are born for. Perhaps it is the territorial imperative. Perhaps man has lost his feeling of space...
... Soviet Union near the Caucasus these people are still working on the farms. One of my friends from the Soviet Union has sent me a photo. He thought it would be hilarious in India, and it does look hilarious: a man who was one hundred and eighty was going to marry a woman who was one hundred and seventy two - but she looks great! The idea of being strong is based on continuous fight, war, struggle... in...
... methods: if you commit suicide, after that nobody can harm you at all! Even if the third world war happens you are saved. Naturally, to accept oneself and to love oneself are the foundations of the psychology of the Buddhas. It is only the beginning, but the whole meditative process reaches to the highest stars. Modern psychology has not even started its real work. What it is doing is just exploiting...
... hate each other. Classes hate each other. Just go on looking and you will be surprised how many sources of hate there are. And every ten years, twelve years, you need a world war - so much hate and still it gets accumulated. Every day you go on expressing hate that's separate - still it goes on accumulating so much that every ten, twenty years, it explodes into a world war. In three thousand years...
... fight in the Mahabharat war, he would only be a charioteer. That was his promise given to the other party - because both parties had approached him and asked him, "Fight for our side." But he was a very clever and cunning man. He was having an afternoon nap when Arjuna and Duryodhana, the heads of both the parties, reached there. Duryodhana was a very haughty and egoistic type of man. He sat...
... near the head of Krishna. Arjuna was humble; he sat near the feet of Krishna, so naturally Krishna's eyes first saw Arjuna. And he said, "Why have you come?" Arjuna said, "Not only I - my brother Duryodhana is also there, sitting behind your head. We both have come - I have come to ask you to participate in the war from my side, and he has come to request you to participate from his...
... wartime when many more men die because they go to the front, to the war, naturally the proportion of women becomes higher. But in these two world wars it has been discovered that the birthrate also changes. Nature, in a strange way, keeps the balance. In wartime and after war for a few years fewer girls are born, more boys are born. Afterwards, the balance is established again, the same proportion - one...
... already in such a situation that if we don't cut its population by half it is going to die. There will be no need for a third world war: just the population itself will be enough to kill everybody, to starve everybody. And God is continually sending people... either He has no idea... that at least send a small piece of land with each child, or try some new way so there is nobody hungry. Rather than real...
... that she was a witch; and once she accepted that she was a witch, she had to be burned alive. Thousands of women they burned alive! Now suddenly their interest is in non-violence: abortion is violence. And the same pope's predecessors blessed Benito Mussolini in the second world war. That was not violence? The archbishop of Canterbury in England blessed the British forces - and that was not violence...
... was constant war between the Mohammedans and the non-Mohammedans and it was a question of power - the politics of numbers. Whoever was more powerful was going to win, and power belonged to numbers. Now it is simple arithmetic: if you marry nine women to a single man, a single man can produce nine children in a year. But do just vice versa - marry one woman to nine men - and you may not even have one...
..., maybe some war, earthquake, flood; nothing can be determined now. One thing is certain: that seven times the city flourished, seven times it was destroyed; again it flourished on top of the old city, again it was destroyed. Mohenjodaro, the word itself, simply means MURDON KA TEELA - 'a hillock of the dead'. It is a hillock, a seven-layered hillock, and millions of dead people are buried there...
... divided. This divided consciousness has been creating the yearning and the question: How to become a harmonious whole as far as the individual is concerned? And the same is true about the whole society: How can we make the society a harmonious whole - where there is no war, no conflict, no classes; no divisions of color, caste, religion, nation? Because of people like Thomas Moore, who wrote the book...
... brahminism, against Hinduism; but they had to use Hindus for everything. Their shoes are made by the sudras; their toilets are cleaned by the sudras. Their properties have to be protected by the chhatriyas, because they cannot take the sword in their hands. They cannot kill, so they cannot fight, they cannot go to war; they have their security force in the warrior race. And finally their priests - the...
.... A meditator cannot kill; a meditator cannot be destructive. So they are going to be surprised one day that their soldiers are no longer interested in fighting. War, violence, murder, massacre of millions of people - this is not possible if a man knows something of meditation. Then he also knows not only himself, he knows the other whom he is killing. He is his brother. They all belong to the same...
... trying to destroy everything that has been created in two thousand years. All their devices, all their methods of meditation, their whole spiritual climate is being polluted, poisoned. And they are simple people; they cannot defend themselves. They don't have anything to defend themselves with - no tanks, no bombs, no airplanes, no army. An innocent race which has lived without any war for two thousand...
... right manner - are not stealing, are not harming others, not hurting others - but it is not their conscious choice. I have heard about a retired military general... it was a case after the first world war. The general had lived his whole life in the army - and not only his life; his father was a general, his father's father was a general. As far back as he could remember their family had been in the...
... army. It was in his blood. From the very beginning he was disciplined in the manners of the army. He was retired now, the war was over. One day he was carrying a bucket full of eggs, and a man just played a joke on him; the man shouted, "Attention!" and the general stood to attention, dropping the bucket and all the eggs on the road. He was very angry; his eggs were all finished. And he...
