... rule it is almost impossible for you to come out. I have seen many mad people. And whenever somebody comes to me and he wants to do everything on his own, I feel very much, because he does not know what he is talking about. But this is the problem. I cannot force anything, because the more you force the more he will escape. I can simply say, "Okay, do whatsoever you like" -- but I feel...

... put off the light, but you cannot put on the dark and you cannot put off the dark. It seems beyond you -- it is! Light is manageable. If it is dark you can bring light in, but you cannot bring darkness, you cannot manipulate darkness; it is simply beyond control. And you put your light on, but you know that light is momentary. When the fuel is finished the light will go -- but darkness is eternal...
...;Go for birth control. Abortion should be made legal" -- and I was condemned for that. They were throwing stones and shoes and knives at me for teaching them immorality. So I don't feel responsible if they are starving. It is their doing. Anybody who is dying and starving should remember that the whole crime is due to people like the pope, Mother Teresa, and other religious leaders who are...

... against birth control, against abortion. They are increasing the population of the world, and they are getting Nobel prizes. Mother Teresa should be hanged! Q: WELL, EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE WORLD HUNGER IS A RESULT OF MISGUIDED POLICIES ON THE PART OF WORLD LEADERS, WHAT ABOUT HUMAN COMPASSION FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING? -- SIMPLE HUMAN COMPASSION. A: If you really want to know the truth, I say just...
... Adolf Hitler. He is at least straightforward. He is not a hypocrite. He is what he is. Mahatma Gandhi is a hypocrite. Now, this is the whole context. (Tape side C) Hitler is violent, is fascist, thinks that the German race is the chosen race to rule over the world. But whatever he says, he says it. He believes in it. He is a crackpot but very sincere. In this context I had said that I have a certain...

... morning and evening that Hindus and Mohammedans are one. That was a political thing, because that was the greatest problem in India. Hindus never wanted India to be divided for the simple reason because if it remains undivided Hindus will always rule the Mohammedans. And it was clear that if Mohammedans want to be their own land, their own country, they want to be deciding their own fate, then they need...
... these things are provoked and managed by the opposition parties. All these communal riots are being done, inspired, triggered by the same people who had come to rule with Morarji Desai for three years. The same people, the same communalists, the same Hindu chauvinists are behind the whole scene - because they have tasted once the joys of power and now they cannot remain powerless. Now by any means...

... they have to reach to power. First they will create a state of chaos in the whole country. And of course if the government cannot control the chaos, "the government is impotent." Then there are only two alternatives left for the government. One alternative is to just stand by the side and watch because "it is a democracy and everybody has freedom of expression..." And in India...
..., you cannot escape the other pole. You can hide it, you can suppress it, you can forget about it - the so-called cultured are always doing that. But then they become numb, dead. If you cannot fight with your lover, if you cannot be angry, then the authenticity of the love is lost. If you suppress your anger, that suppressed anger will become a part of you, and that suppressed anger will not allow you...
.... Western psychology is aware of a certain state of mind they call "breakdown." When a person is too tense, so that he cannot hold himself together, then it is a breakdown. He goes insane. He cannot keep his personality, his mask, anymore. The burden is so much that he is dying under it. He tries hards, but there is no way - the tension goes on growing. The more he tries to control himself, to...

... keep himself in control, the more difficult it becomes. Sooner or later a breakdown is absolutely inevitable. But Western psychology does not know anything about the "breakthrough." Breakdown is leading you towards insanity, and breakthrough is leading you to an open, transcendental sky. Breakdown is losing your mind and becoming just a vegetable. Breakthrough is also losing your mind but...
... window opens, a little breeze comes in and poetry is born, a song arises, a dance takes birth. But the poet is not in control of the window - it is only rarely, in certain moments, when the poet becomes available to existence. Hence I always say to my people that if you love someone's poetry, someone's music, someone's dance, someone's painting, sculpture, never try to see the man because that is going...

... and girls to come closer, we teach them birth control methods, we allow them to enjoy... and that is the time when they will enjoy the most, because they have the energy. And all other enjoyments are connected with your sexual enjoyment. If your sex is starved, then everything else becomes disturbed. For example, if somebody's sex is not fulfilled, he may start eating too much. It is now a well...
... anything else. And it is so entire, so complete, that it needs no other support. But mind always wants some technique, because mind can control the technique. Mind is a technician; technology is its field. But watchfulness is beyond its control. It is beyond it, it is above it, and in fact it is the death of the mind. If watchfulness grows in you, mind will die. And all these people, like Maharishi...
... lives in that stone age, millions of years ago, when the law was an eye for an eye - if you throw a brick at me, I am going to throw a rock at you; that was the law. It is still the law. Although these words are not used, the ultimate result is the same. Adolf Hitler alone killed six million people for a simple, stupid desire: to dominate the whole world. And you will not believe it: I received a...

... is so wrong: we have been programmed to be ambitious. And that's where politics is. It is not only in the ordinary world of politics, it has even polluted your ordinary life. Even a small child starts smiling at the mother, at the father - a bogus smile; he has no depth behind it. But he knows whenever he smiles he is rewarded. He has learned the first rule of being a politician. He is still in his...
... effort for a single goal - how to be more powerful. Their only desire is for more power - not for more peace, not for more being, not for more truth, not for more love. And what do you need more power for? - to dominate others, to destroy others. All the power accumulates in the hands of unconscious people. So on the one hand, politicians in all the civilizations that have developed and died - it would...

... like fire-crackers. By the year 2010, twenty-five other nations will also be nuclear powers. It is going to be beyond control - thirty nations having so much destructiveness that a single nation could destroy the whole earth. A single crazy man, a single politician, to show his power, can destroy the whole of civilization; and you have to begin from ABC. And the destruction is not only of humanity...
