... the token of Passover good will. (1993.3) 185:5.3 As the crowd surged up on the steps of the building, Pilate heard them calling out the name of one Barabbas. Barabbas was a noted political agitator and murderous robber, the son of a priest, who had recently been apprehended in the act of robbery and murder on the Jericho road. This man was under sentence to die as soon as the Passover festivities...
... was not a wise statement for Pilate to make. The Jews were a proud people, now subject to the Roman political yoke but hoping for the coming of a Messiah who would deliver them from gentile bondage with a great show of power and glory. They resented, more than Pilate could know, the intimation that this meek-mannered teacher of strange doctrines, now under arrest and charged with crimes worthy of...
... is one of my contradictions. I am against socialism which is imposed as an economic, political ideology on people, because then it destroys something which is very precious: it destroys the individual. Rather than destroying the ego it destroys the individual; it enhances the ego. The ego is represented by personality. These two words have to be understood very clearly: the personality is that...
... than any other kind of political ideology, because socialism means society is the goal, not the individual. The individual has to be sacrificed for the society, not vice versa; the society cannot be sacrificed for the individual. And in fact "society" is a beautiful word; behind that beautiful word is hiding the ugly state. It is really the state that dominates in socialism, and the state...
... understand the implications of everything. Sheela and her group have created a hostility between the commune and Oregonians. We have to destroy that hostility. The first step will be for Antelope to be given back to the people who have lived there for hundreds of years. We don't have any political aspirations. The second step will be, anybody who has committed crimes against the law, we will help the state...
..., clever, political, can again make you into a fascist group. Don't let this happen. But that does not mean that you become a nuisance in the commune. You have to learn a balance. You know only two things: either you will be a slave or a nuisance. Can't you find a middle course? - where you are sensible, not nuisance, just sense, and where you are not a slave but pure freedom. Act out of your sensitivity...
... cannibal and you eat a Polack, you will know what I mean. Just a little taste of a Polack and you will go unconscious! This Polack popa is trying to create a bridge, a communication between the Christians and the Jews. Why? These things are not religious, these things are political. After the second world war they created a Jewish nation, Israel. Jews think the Americans, the British and other allies...
... be laughed at, not fought for. The Americans could not give it to Mohammedans, although the country was Mohammedan, and it had been under the Mohammedans for a long time. They could not keep it for themselves, because that would mean creating two enemies: Jews and Mohammedans. They found a very political and cunning way: they gave it to the Jews. In that way they created a bridge between Jews and...
... you cannot believe that Gandhi blessed the first fighter planes to go and destroy Pakistanis - who were Indians just a few days before! Where had his nonviolence gone? He was blessing fighting planes, sending them to destroy the same people for whom he had been fighting for freedom his whole life. When I said that his nonviolence was a political strategy.... It was clear that to fight against the...
... no nations. Songs, dances, and disappearing into your dances and your songs, don't belong to any religion. The New Man will declare this whole earth his own. Politicians will simply fall by the way. They will not be able to figure out what to do with these people. They know how to deal with the sad slaves - slaves of theologies, political ideologies, they know how to deal with them. My effort is to...
... you cannot possess it either. In your deep sleep, you even possess your children without ever becoming aware that the very possession - "This is my child" - is a murder. Children come through you, but they belong to the universe. You are just a passage. But you make every effort that your child should have your family name, your religion, your political ideology. He should be just an...
... day in the city of Orphalese, asked - he answered. And he answered with such beauty, with such poetry, with such truth. Perhaps nobody else has answered that way - not even a person like Krishna, who answered his disciple Arjuna's questions after questions. Perhaps Arjuna's questions are authentic, but Krishna's answers are not. He is not concerned with the quest. His whole concern is political...
... of power has to disappear from the world. That power has created thousands of wars, and that power has been our undoing. Man has not been able to use this time for his evolution, for a better earth, for a more human society, without demarcations of nations, religions, political ideologies. All our energy goes into such stupidities! Killing each other seems to be the main purpose of man's being on...
... -- the so-called political leaders -- who don't know anything about meditation, are ready to give visas to visit the Taj Mahal, Khajuraho, Konarak, Ajanta, Ellora. But I have received letters from people saying that "because we said we want to learn meditation, our applications were rejected." They are not allowing them to come. When all the governments of the world -- the Indian government...
... up in crime. Murder, rape, theft -- these are just casual things for them, nothing special in it. Uneducated, illiterate, many of them have gone into imprisonment many times, drunkards, drug addicts -- I would not like them for three months to mix with my people. For the first reason this was. Secondly, she was trying to take over the Wasco County. I am absolutely a non-political person, and my...
... commune is not a political organization. Q:* SO SHE WAS USING THESE PEOPLE IN YOUR EYES TOWARDS THAT GOAL? A:* She was using... She had an idea to take over the Wasco County. These three thousand people she brought, and she kept those three thousand people drugged. Q:* YOU HAVE EVIDENCE THAT SHE KEPT THEM DRUGGED TO BE BE MORE DOCILE? A:* One died. I am not an eyewitness about anything, because I was in...
... succeed in getting political power. In going higher on the ladder of power, you have to crush, kill, destroy - you have to do everything. But if you succeed then you are forgiven, nobody remembers that you have done anything wrong. And he was a successful politician. But as he was dying he was afraid; he remembered his whole past, and he was certain that "I am going to hell. Now nothing can help...
.... Those political tricks will not be helpful here." But when he opened his eyes he was in front of heaven. He could not believe it. He asked the angels who had brought him there, "There seems to be some mistake, some bureaucratic mistake. This is heaven and you have brought me here?" "This is, certainly. And there is no mistake, you have earned it." The man said, "What are...
... every man has changed almost ten times. And what happens to the children? Eight out of ten die, because the mother has been sold and a new woman has been purchased who has no concern for these children. By seven years of age almost eighty percent are finished. These are the real concerns, not the political games! And particularly in a situation where war seems to be coming closer every day. Iraq and...
... was a good opportunity for all kinds of robbers, because I cannot consider these people - Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, whoever have been involved in spreading their political or economic empires - as anything more than robbers, to be condemned. But strangely enough they make the history, they become the heroes, their names are written in gold. The Prime Minister of Greece, Andreas...
