... sex was used as an exploitative thing. And kings can use you only if you suppress your sex, because suppressed sex becomes violence. You cannot create soldiers, you cannot create militaries, you cannot create wars if you do not suppress sex. A suppressed man is always in the mood to fight. That is the only way to release his sex. So kings, emperors, they cannot allow soldiers to have a sex life. And...
...: "We don't want anybody other than Christians in Rome." He forced the whole of Italy to become Christian... just at the point of the gun. The whole history of Christianity is of wars and nothing else - killing and violence. And the same is true about the other religions in a lesser measure; they are destructive. They are destructive in many ways. They destroy people by creating guilt, by...
... DISEASE OF THE MIND. WE WILL BE ENTERING the beautiful world of a Zen Master's no-mind. Sosan is the third Zen Patriarch. Nothing much is known about him - this is as it should be, because history records only violence. History does not record silence - it cannot record it. All records are of disturbance. Whenever someone becomes really silent, he disappears from all records, he is no more a part of our...
...: its ultimate outcome will be destruction. Hence the Isa Upanishad is right: INTO A BLINDING DARKNESS GO THEY WHO WORSHIP ACTION ALONE. INTO AN EVEN GREATER DARKNESS GO THEY WHO WORSHIP MEDITATION. Meditation alone again leads to another extreme. Meditation means the internal, the subjective; it means introversion. And obviously the introverts start denying all external reality. They start saying it...
.... A tree is not so secure. The seed is closed, closed completely. The moment the seed dies and the tree begins to grow, the potentiality begins to be activated. There are dangers -- insecurity will be there, there will be every possibility of destruction, a very delicate thing fighting against the whole universe. But now you are only a seed, there is no danger. To be a sannyasin means now you take...
... yes, this is not real. It is coercion, it is violence. Do you follow me? When you don't say yes to anything, it is as if you are in a desert. You are lost and you cannot see any oasis anywhere, and for days you have been thirsty and thirsty and thirsty. And the thirst becomes absolute. Then you can even drink your own urine. People are known to have done that. They can drink the urine of the camel...
...; he lived like a shadow. Nobody ever felt his presence even. He was absolutely nonaggressive, because when you try to let your presence be felt, that is violence. You are trying to attract attention. This man nobody knew. What has happened to him? He has gone mad! Buddha looked, called Mahakashyap near him, gave him the flower, and told him, "Whatsoever I could give through words I have given...
... flowering. You force yourself back. This is a violence on the whole system of your being, and this is destroying the effort of nature to reach a higher harmony through you. This is against nature. For a few moments you can attain a forced oneness with nature, through drugs. But it cannot be a permanent achievement. It cannot become an integral part of your inner being. It can never become an integral part...
... isolated unit, you become an island - and there exists no island. Islands that you see in the ocean, they also are not separate, they also are part of continents hidden under the sea. No island exists. Nobody can be independent. It is interdependence. It is a deep cooperation. Don't start with enmity; otherwise you will destroy life and your whole energy will be engaged in destruction - and existence is...
... famous because of their violence, not because of their love. How much you have the power to kill - that makes you famous. The more power you have to kill, the more important you are. Love? Who cares about love? It is good for poets to talk about it and painters to paint about it and mystics to sing about it. But these people are not the real people - they are not the real society, they exist on the...
