...-year student?" He said, "You have some idea behind it, but it is not allowed; you will have to wear a cap, and buttons have to be closed." I said, "You will have to prove to me what the scientific grounds are for wearing a cap. Does it help in any way to increase your intelligence? Then I can even use a turban - why a cap? - if it increases your brain power. But the fact is that...
... principal of the college and you don't have guts. And remember that Life is a very strange phenomenon: today you are in a position of power; tomorrow I may be in a position of power." He said, "What do you mean?" I said, "I don't mean anything, I am simply saying that one day it is possible you may be in trouble and only I can save you." He said, "That is almost impossible...
.... What trouble could I be in? Don't try to confuse me." He was already becoming afraid: "What trouble and what power is he talking about?" I said, "One day, God willing, we will see." And, strangely, it happened that ten years after that incident I became a professor. One of the colleges near Gwalior was opened by a Jaina family. The family donated all the money, all that the...
... he was complaining I went to see the vice-chancellor for some other reason. I was the prefect of the hostels, and the superintendent of the hostels was continually issuing orders - of course they had to pass through me. If I found they were not right I threw them away; if they were right then I pasted them on the board. He was very angry. He told me, "lt is not within your power to throw away...
... my orders." I said, "You prove that it is not within my power." So I had gone just to explain the whole thing, and that the superintendent would be coming, and that this was the situation: "He issues stupid orders. Now I am not so stupid as to put those orders on the board of the hostel. So either you accept my resignation as a prefect, or when he comes make it clear to him that...
... my whole reputation - but I agree with you. In fact," he said, "if it were in my power I would have given you a doctorate just for your editorial notes and footnotes, because you have found exactly the places which only a meditator can find; a non-meditator has no way to find them." So my whole life from the very beginning has been concerned with two things: never to allow any...
... people for any particular purpose. Nature has a very deep balancing power. For example, when children are born, if a hundred girls are born today, then one hundred and ten boys will be born. About that data I was simply surprised. Why one hundred girls and one hundred and ten boys? Is nature also male chauvinistic? No, it is not that: nature is simply a balancing power. Ten boys die before a...
... marriageable age. Girls are more resistant to diseases; boys are weaker as far as resistance to sickness is concerned. They may have muscular power - that is a different power - but as far as resistance to disease, sickness and death is concerned, they are less powerful than women. So one hundred girls will suffice for one hundred and ten boys, because ten boys will be missing by the time they reach the...
... him grow towards his potential. I want communes all over the world, so that slowly nations can disappear, and there are only communes: Living, small units of humanity, totally, joyously helping everybody to be himself. Marx proposes the dictatorship of the proletariat, the dictatorship of the poor. That is stupid. They are poor, and if they are in power they will make everybody poor. What else can...
... enlightened person can dictate to you, but out of his love, not out of his power - he has no power - out of his insight, because he has eyes to see and to feel the potential of people. His dictates can only be thought of as suggestions, advice, guidelines. Only in the dictatorship of the enlightened ones is there a possibility of a real, authentic democracy and also the real flowering of commune-ism...
... consciousness. It simply puts a suggestion into your mind. Call it animal magnetism, mesmerism, or whatsoever you like, but it works through the power of thought, not the power of matter. If your consciousness accepts a certain idea, it starts functioning. Hypnotherapy has a great future. It is going to become the future medicine because if just by changing your thought pattern your mind can be changed...
..., through your mind the vital body, and through the vital body your gross body, then why bother with poisons, gross medicine? Why not work it through thought-power? A group participant says: I ran into a tension that I didn 't even know I had, and it really helped me. Thank you. Osho recommends he does the Aum group.] ... then do Aum. It is just the opposite. It is good to swing from one polarity to the...
... VERY MIND IS THE BUDDHA, BUT WHAT IS NO MIND, NO BUDDHA?" KASAN SAID, "BEATING THE DRUM." THE MONK STILL CONTINUED TO ASK: "WHEN AN ENLIGHTENED ONE COMES, HOW DO YOU TREAT HIM?" KASAN SAID, "BEATING THE DRUM." SETCHO PUT IT LIKE THIS: DRAGGING A STONE, CARRYING EARTH, USE THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF A THOUSAND-TON BOW. ZOKOTSU ROSHI ROLLED OUT THREE WOODEN BALLS; HOW...
... is mad. And by the way, Nivedano is - otherwise, why are you beating the drum? Nivedano.... (Drumbeat) Good! Setcho's commentary is not great, but still good. DRAGGING A STONE, CARRYING EARTH, USE THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF A THOUSAND-TON BOW. ZOKOTSU ROSHI ROLLED OUT THREE WOODEN BALLS; HOW COULD THEY SURPASS KASAN'S "BEATING THE DRUM"? Different masters in different ages have used different...
... can do this, but you have not understood the meaning of beating the drum. You have emptied yourself, but you are there; you have proved yourself, but you are there. "In your very proving you have proved only your ego, your power of will. You cannot understand the great meaning of beating the drum. It has to be relaxed. It has not to be done by you because it is there. You have not to do...
..., you may call it friendship, but behind the curtain of friendship and love and brotherhood there is a deep will to power. You want to dominate; you don't want to be dominated. With human beings, you will be in constant conflict. The closer you are, the more the conflict will hurt you. There are thousands of people who have been so wounded by human relationship that they have dropped out of all human...
... relationship then you should forget all power politics. You can be just a friend, neither trying to dominate the other nor being dominated by the other. It is possible only if you have a certain meditativeness in your life. Otherwise, it is not possible. To love a human being is one of the most difficult things in the world because the moment you start showing your love, the other starts going on a power...
... letters three times bigger - almost half of the form is his signature. I don't want to live with this man, he has shown his domination, his power." The registrar said, "Then there is no need of any divorce. Just throw away your forms in the wastepaper basket, because I have not sealed them, and get lost." Such a small thing, that the man was signing in big letters but it is indicative. It...
... respectability to a person who is obedient to the rotten society, and give punishment to anybody who does anything against the society. This society is not for transformation. But my people should behave differently. You are to prepare the ground for the new man and for a new human existence. And these are the chances, opportunities. Sheela has given you a great opportunity to learn the power of love and...
... same people still holding power posts. I know about it, but I know that they have revolted in favor of you, against Sheela - and now you are misbehaving with them. They should be rewarded. And they are the people who will bring out everything that has been done; they are the authentic witnesses. But if you are behaving badly with them, you will not be able to win their hearts. And five thousand...
... again united, again strong, so strong that it can rule over the whole world." It was something that was immensely needed. People were not working, people were not being creative. Somebody was needed to make the country again creative, disciplined. And Adolf Hitler filled the gap. Within ten years Germany was again a world power. Strange - if you give people freedom, they become lazy, they don't...
... happen, for the simple reason that both have so much power that they will destroy the whole planet, all living things on the planet. So what is the point? War has meaning if you can be victorious, if you can defeat somebody. But there will be no victory, no one victorious, no one defeated, simply all dead. So it is good that nuclear weapons have come to a point where war is impossible. It is not...
... Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. Question 1: BELOVED OSHO, FOR YEARS YOU HAVE TALKED TO US OF SIMPLICITY: SIMPLICITY IN LOVE, THE SIMPLICITY OF ENLIGHTENMENT, AND NOW THE SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE POWER GAME BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA. WHY HAS MAN DEVELOPED SUCH COMPLEXITY, AND WHY DOES HE SHOW SUCH MISTRUST AND DISBELIEF IN THE SIMPLE? The simple is not a challenge to man's ego...
... have, your bodyguard?" I said, "Certainly. I trust him." Trust is a miracle. If you trust even the person who is going to murder you, his sword will fall from his hands. If you trust the man who is going to shoot you, there is every possibility he may shoot himself. Trust is a tremendous power. Distrust makes you weak. And how many people are you going to distrust? The whole world...
...? That's what you have been told and taught: never trust anybody; otherwise you will be cheated. But it is better to be cheated than to lose your immense power of trust. And what can you be cheated of? In fact, the people who have told and taught you, "Never trust people because they will take advantage of it," are your enemies. They have destroyed your greatest power. Trusting unconditionally...
... misunderstanding. Chiang Kai-shek, the dictator of China before Mao Tse-tung came to power, was one of the most powerful people on the earth. He had become very old - he was ninety years - when Mao removed him from power. He escaped to Formosa, a private resort for the dictator. He changed the name of Formosa to Taiwan and made it the capital of China. The whole of China was gone, but he made this small island...
... why it cannot figure out anything about consciousness. The intellect without your intuition awake is one of the most dangerous things in the world. And we are living under the danger of intellect, because intellect has given science immense power. But the power is in the hands of children, not in the hands of wise people. Intuition makes a man wise. Call it enlightenment, call it awakening; those...
... seven times. One simply wonders why nations are going to develop more and more nuclear power. Seven times destroying the earth is not enough? In fact, you can destroy the earth only once. But scientific progress falls into the hands of the politicians because only they can provide enough finance to make these discoveries possible. The scientists of the whole world should think it over: their genius is...
... strong. This is simple; there is nothing in it against nature. But with politicians and the power in their hands, of course every advance has gone against nature. Everything that human genius has discovered, invented, finally is in the service of death. So are the priests. Now science is no longer a child, that it has to depend on others. Science is now grown-up enough, it is adult. Just a little...
... courage.... I give the invitation to all the scientists of the world; we have the place, we have intelligent people here to help you in every possible way. And if you want to make an international academy here, we are capable of managing finances for you. It will be a great revolution in the history of man. The whole power will be in the hands of the scientists, who have never done any harm to anybody...
.... And once all the power is in the hands of the scientists, politicians will fade away of their own accord. They have been exploiting scientists for their own purposes, and to be exploited by anybody is not an act of dignity. The scientists should recognize their dignity, they should recognize their individuality. They should recognize that they have been exploited down the ages by the priests and the...
... been really a Jew: he could not make a little bigger bed, where both could be accommodated. It is not only a question of a bed, remember. What I am trying to say to you is: God could not manage the equality of man and woman; could not manage their being accommodated in a coexistence, without anybody being on a power trip. He himself is a man, naturally: Adam is not withdrawn. The woman is withdrawn...
... the wisest animal on the earth. In India the serpent is worshipped. There is a special day in the year devoted to the worship of the serpent, and millions of serpents of all kinds are given milk, worshipped... because it has been thought, in the East, that the serpent is a symbol of wisdom. Why? - because actually the way the serpent moves, the kundalini power inside your body moves exactly in the...
... same way. Hence kundalini is being translated into English as serpent power. If you have seen a serpent standing on his tail, you will be surprised, because a serpent has no bones. Standing on his tail is a miracle, because there are no bones, so how is he supporting himself? Ordinarily the serpent is always sitting or resting, with his body in the form of a circle. That is the meaning of kundalini...
... it starts moving with those vibrations. That too is exactly the same in the inner serpent power - the kundalini. It too starts rising up with a certain music. It has no ears, it has not even a body; it is just pure energy. But a certain music helps it tremendously. And in the East we have found what music, what chanting, will help. For example: chanting "aum" continuously hits your...
