... about Krishna - after five thousand years? And Krishna has been corrupted more than Jesus - because Hindus are great scholars. Jesus' followers were very simple people - a fisherman, a farmer, a woodcutter. Even if they had wanted to corrupt Jesus they couldn't have. They were not efficient enough. They were not knowledgeable people. But with Hindus there are the Brahmins and the pundits. Krishna's...

... God became a dog. This seems to be a more human idea. Rather than thinking that you are God you would like to think that God is human. And if you look at Hindu Gods you will see that they are very much afraid. Sitting in heaven Indira is always afraid. If some poor rishi starts meditating deeply, his throne starts trembling. He becomes very much afraid. He sends beautiful girls to corrupt the rishi...

.... Now the rishi has not done anything, he was just meditating. but Indira sends beautiful girls to corrupt him. He is afraid for his status. If this rishi attains to the ultimate he may become the next Indira, or he may claim Indirahood. These Gods are very jealous, very ordinary. If you look into Hindu PURANAS YOU will be surprised. The stories seem to be about man, not about God at all. Brahma and...

... power what can you do, how can you hide? So your real nature comes to be known only when you get power. Look at the Gandhians in India before Independence - so saintly. And now everything has gone to the opposite extreme. Now they are the most corrupt. What happened?

...], 'Though a present is placed in the bosom, yet wrath is still fierce.' According to others, R. Isaac said: A judge who takes a bribe brings fierce wrath upon the world; as it says, And a present etc. R.

... DISCIPLES OF YOURS - WERE IN A CONSPIRACY TO CREATE THIS PROBLEM IN AMERICA FOR YOU. IS IT TRUE? It is possible that the defectors were conspiring with the American politicians, because those who escaped were criminals and America did not prevent them; it allowed them to do so. America can do anything - it can threaten people, it can bribe people. It has come to my notice that it has been trying to...

... before the best European universities of the time and on the whole conducted as fairly as was possible under medieval circumstances. [15] What was the Jewish - or rather the rabbinical - response? The simplest one was the ancient weapon of bribery and string-pulling. In most European countries, during most of the time, anything could be fixed by a bribe. Nowhere was this maxim more true than in the...

... perform this task take on the character of opium smugglers. But we can derive from this analysis another, more general conclusion about the most effective and horrific means of compulsion to do evil, to cheat and to deceive and, while keeping one's hands quite clean of violence, to corrupt whole peoples and drive them to oppression and murder. (For there can no longer be any doubt that the most...

... purposes. It does not want innocent people around because there is nothing more dangerous, more rebellious, than innocence. All the societies are afraid of innocent people because they will not support anything that goes against their innocence, that goes against nature. Hence, the first thing every society does is to corrupt the child. The sooner you do it, the better, because as the child matures it...

... becomes more and more difficult to corrupt him. The child has to be corrupted in the very early stages when he is helpless, vulnerable, when he has no doubt in his mind, when he simply believes in the parents, in the teachers, in the neighbors. He 403 cannot conceive that these people are going to destroy him. And these people are also not aware that they are destroying their own children. It is a...

... that in London there was a society consisting only of old and ugly and dilapidated women who were forcing everybody and creating much fuss that dogs should not be left naked: it can corrupt their children, their morals. So special garments were made for the dogs. Particularly in England, people take dogs for a walk but their chains are in their hands because of the simple fear that dogs have not yet...

... with atom bombs?" No. Twenty-one countries have decided that I cannot enter because they are afraid I will destroy their religion, I will destroy their morality, I will corrupt the minds of their young people. And I am amazed - for two thousand years, what have these idiots been doing? If a morality that has been taught for two thousand years can be destroyed with a three-week tourist visa, then...
