... will be so ghastly, so agonizing; such a tremendous anguish it will create. But still the religious leaders are against birth control methods. The pope comes to India and says to the poor people, "Using any birth control methods is against God." And the shankaracharyas, the heads of Hindu religion, talk in the same way. And the Jaina acharyas, who are the heads of the Jaina sects, are all...
... against birth control methods. There is not a single religious leader who is in favor of birth control methods. These religious leaders will be responsible for the death of millions of people! But why are they against birth control methods? They say, "It is God who is giving you a child. To refuse it is against God." But to allow it to starve...? God seems to be a monster. He rejoices in...
... seven hundred nuns are running around Calcutta, finding children who have been left by their mothers or fathers, and collecting them with great joy. Everybody is counting how many you have got. The joy is to convert them into Catholics. Of course the pope is against birth control. If there were birth control, there would be no Mother Teresa, and there would not be six hundred million Catholics. These...
... nothing to do with God. He deceived his people, just as all founders of religion are deceiving their people. In the first place, God is a lie, the most fundamental lie. Out of the fundamental lie arise many lies. Lies don't believe in birth control either; they are very religious, they go on producing. One lie produces thousands of lies. When God is accepted, how can you deny his only begotten son? How...
..., your happiness center - and he has a remote control with himself He just puts an electrode there and whenever he wants you to be happy he just pushes a button - it is a remote control, no wire is connected to you so you cannot see anything - and you start laughing, enjoying, giggling as if somebody is tickling you. You don't see anybody - what is happening? And the man may be miles away but he can...
... still control you. Delgado showed his experiment first in Spain with a bull. He had put an electrode into the bull's head and he went into the field. Spaniards are strange people. They enjoy a bullfight just as the Americans enjoy football. Strange people I simply wonder.... There are a few idiots running with a ball, a few idiots returning the ball, and millions of idiots jumping up and down and...
... Krishnamurti - that is his full name; Jiddu Krishnamurti. "J. Krishnamurti" saves him from some trouble because "Jiddu Krishnamurti.... jiddu means stubborn; he is stubborn. The bull came rushing towards Delgado who was standing there waving a red flag. When he was just one foot away and ready to push his horns into Delgado, Delgado pushed a button of the remote control in his pocket and the...
... bull stopped so suddenly that the millions of people who were watching it could not believe it: what happened to the bull? He just stopped, frozen, as if he were practicing George Gurdjieff's "Stop" exercise. He remained like a statue, he would not move. Delgado said, "We can control every man..." and there is a possibility, sooner or later, that totalitarian governments are going...
... dose, and the whole country goes bananas! Everybody will think this must be the work of jesus or his father or the Holy Ghost. A madman is far better - at least nobody is in control of him. But he also is not in control of himself The enlightened man is out of his mind but he has full control of his mind. And he does not need a switchboard - just his awareness is enough. If you observe anything...
.... What is discipline? Discipline is learning. The root word of discipline comes from learning. It is nothing to do with self control, no. A disciple is one who is ready to learn; a disciple is one who is ready to absorb; a disciple is one who is open, receptive; a disciple is one who is ready to become a womb. He is not antagonistic, he is not fighting and arguing. He is trying to understand, and when...
... copies, because it is so easy - just a rule has to be followed. You need not have any understanding about it: a clear-cut rule is given and you follow it. People come to me and they say: Give us clear-cut rules, so that we can follow. They are saying: we are not going to grow, we are not going to become mature ourselves. You simply give us clear-cut rules: what to eat, what not to eat, when to get up...
... insist that we should go this way, he insists on going the other, and then in the marketplace it becomes ridiculous, I become a laughing stock. People say that not even your donkey follows you! So I have made it a rule that wherever he goes, I go with him. Everyone thinks that the donkey is following me but that is not true. But the donkey feels happy and my prestige is safe. Every great leader goes on...
... knocked at the door of the manager of a great circus, and he said: You have to look at me, I have a terrific act! I am a dwarf. The manager looked at Nasrudin. He was six feet two inches tall, and he was saying: I am a dwarf! So the manager said: What are you saying? You seem to me six feet two inches tall! Nasrudin said: Yes, that is right; I am the longest, tallest dwarf in the world. The mind goes on...
... finding ways and means to be outstanding. If you cannot be anything else, at least you can be the tallest dwarf. But be something, somebody. The whole education, culture, civilization teaches you to be outstanding, and Tao says: Don't be outstanding, drop all that is outstanding; just be ordinary, just be simple. Easy is right; to be ordinary is to be right, because to be ordinary you will be easy. If...
... plants? They don't belong to spirituality. You will have to reject all medical science, all surgery. You will have to reject all birth control methods. Do you want to kill this whole country, to commit suicide? And what is this heritage you are bragging about? From where does it start? From the RIGVEDA? That is the ancientmost scripture, it can be taken as a milestone. In RIGVEDA, human sacrifice was a...
... often, otherwise you will not be able to control her. But what is the need to control? And who are you to control? He counts women with the sudras, the untouchables; they should be beaten. He compares women with drums: just as you beat the drums, otherwise there will be no sound, the woman should also be beaten so she remains under control. I want to ask Rajiv Gandhi: Do you want all this heritage to...
... can have. It is your heritage that millions are starving. By the end of this century you will see half a billion people starving and dying. Only science and technology can help, only birth control methods can help. But you are denying all materialism. Why is this country so poor? It is so ancient, so intelligent, why is it so poor? The intelligence has been distracted from the right path by the...
... government simply watches. And if you drop all birth control methods this country will become such a huge burden. You will not be able to feed them, you will not be able to give them clothes, you will not be able to give them shelter. It will be simply chaos and death. If you insist on your ancient heritage, you are driving the country not towards the twenty-first century, but towards its graveyard. He has...
... nothing else is even touched; the brain is very fragile. And the problems that man has created are very complex. You cannot have simple solutions. What simple solution is there for birth control? Celibacy? It does not work. What simple solution is there for cancer? Drinking the polluted water of India? Water therapy ... or urine therapy? Urine therapy seems to be the simplest medicine for all diseases...
... means that now you have started moving upwards in a line; again the linear has come in. There is no need to go anywhere. All is beautiful as it is! Existence is not going anywhere at all. It is simply here. It is a dance - it is not a marathon race! It is simply joy. So accept that and relax into it and give it the quality of dance. ... Let it go wherever it goes! Don't try to be in control of it. Let...
... the mind. You cannot go astray, there is no way to go astray, because there is no goal to compare with where you are going. Go astray perfectly happy and dancing. Nobody is going to miss, because in the first place there is nothing to miss! Just enjoy - jump from one point to another; it is perfectly good. And let god be in control, you drop out of control. [A sannyasin says: You told me six weeks...
... in the hands of nature - hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to control his life. And that's what Jesus means when he says 'Unless you are like small children, you will not enter into my kingdom of god.' And the more experienced we become, the farther away we are from the kingdom of god. Those who know are far away - the ignorant are very close. So act in the moment...
...; they are not pure people. If some day they come to know that there no reward, they will drop all their purity. They don't have any joy in it - they think of it as a sacrifice, as if they are obliging god by being pure They are doing it, they are the doers of it. It is not simple, it is not innocent. It is planned and a very long-range plan, even for after death. They are trying to control not only...
... sannyasin asks: I would like to know whether it's better for me to watch negative feelings or to express them, because I feel that when I watch them I manipulate them or suppress them.] You have to express them. Watching will be repression. Right now watching won't help; only in a later phase. First you have to express them. So whenever you feel that something is accumulating inside, go to the river, or...
... prostitute, Magdalene, how he was friendly with drunkards... it iS impossible. This Jesus must be false. A totally different kind of Jesus existed which has been falsified by Christianity. The church has to falsify because the church is an effort to dominate people. Jesus never tried to dominate people. Even when there were opportunities available, he never used those opportunities to make people feel...
... evil should be judged." The priest cannot exist without judgment. He has to condemn, he has to command, he has to say, "This has to be done and that has not to be done. If you do it, you will be punished in hell, and if you follow me you will be rewarded in heaven." That's the whole strategy of priesthood. So when I say "old religions" I mean old priesthoods - Christianity...
... controller, a disciplinarian. You have been trying to remain in control - and that control is very very dangerous. All control has to be lost. One has to become possessed by the divine; it is really a possession. If you go very cleverly you will never reach. It is only for mad people who can rush into it, not caring at all about what is going to happen. It is for gamblers! It is going to happen. Just be...
... be allowed to shake his head. People have to remain like statues. If somebody shakes his head, the head has to be cut.' The king was surprised but he was also a madman; he said, 'Okay.' He informed the whole town that only those should come who were perfectly in control, otherwise they would be playing with their life. Many thousands of people wanted to come but they were afraid - but a few people...
... sitting just like stone statues, but ten, twelve persons.... The king asked those twelve persons, 'Were you not aware? Why did you shake? Why did you move? Why were you influenced by the music when your life was in danger?' They said, 'We don't know. We tried to keep ourselves completely in control to a certain moment - beyond it, we were not there. So we cannot say that we moved our bodies. The bodies...
... moved, that is certain, but we have not moved. We tried everything that we could do not to move, but then a moment came and we were helpless.... The music was so beautiful and so penetrating, that in that moment all idea of life and death disappeared. In fact the idea of self disappeared, so there was nobody to control. It happened on its own accord. We are ready - if we are to be killed, we are ready...
... is the only charitable person in India, because she goes on raising the orphans. But she is against birth control. If you have a little understanding, you can see the point: if you don't want orphans, then birth control should be the most charitable thing. Spread the idea of birth control, distribute the pill to as many people as possible, so there are no orphans. It is a strange thing that first...
... you prevent people from birth control, and then they create children which they cannot raise, and you come in to become a great saint because you are doing a great, charitable act. If birth control methods are used, there will be no orphans. If medical science is not working under religious conditions and is allowed freedom from religions, many diseases will disappear. There are thirty million...
