... Available: N.A. Length: N.A. Anand means bliss and Rudra is one of the names of Shiva. The Hindus have a trinity of gods. Brahma is the creator god, or God's creative function. Vishnu is one who maintains the existence, or God's maintaining function. And Shiva or Rudra is one who destroys the world when it is no more needed; God's destructive functioning. Each creation needs destruction, and without...
... destruction there is no creation. That is one of the most beautiful concepts ever evolved because it combines both the polarities. So Rudra is the function of the divine of destruction. The very word means wildness, chaos, because each creation is out of chaos. So it is not negative in the western sense. It is very positive. If you really want to be born, you will have to die. That death is very positive...
... THE BELLS, STUCK THE STAFF IN THE GROUND AND STOOD UP STRAIGHT. NANSEN SAID, "WRONG." MAYOKU SAID, "SHOKEI SAID, 'GOOD'; WHY DO YOU SAY, 'WRONG'?" NANSEN SAID, "SHOKEI IS 'GOOD,' BUT YOU ARE WRONG. YOU ARE BLOWN ABOUT BY THE WIND. THAT WILL LEAD TO DESTRUCTION." My Friends, I have been waiting to answer a few idiots. I will not mention their names for the simple reason...
... THE WIND. THAT WILL LEAD TO DESTRUCTION." What does Nansen mean? For the same act another master, Shokei, has said "Good." Nansen, to the same act, says "Wrong." Repetition is wrong. Whatever he had done to Shokei was fresh, spontaneous; now repeating it is stale and stinking of death. It is no more the fresh breeze of the morning, no more the fresh opening of a rose. You...
... will find dry roses in strange places like the Bible. But a dry rose is only a memory, a remembrance, a faraway echo of the real rose who was dancing in the wind, in the rain, in the sun. Whenever anything becomes stale, repetitive, a man of understanding is going to call it wrong. Not only that, if you continue like this you are moving towards destruction, not towards enlightenment, awakening, a...
... centre... the words will have a poetry of their own.] [A non-sannyasin visitor, wrote to Osho a few days ago because the violence in the group upset him. You're new here, says Osho, that's why you don't understand it. We are born with the capacity to love, but the anger, destructiveness and violence we are forced to repress as children, impedes its flow. It cannot be unblocked unless violence is...
... the man because he knew no argument except violence. The day he killed his wife by throwing her into a well, a Jaina monk was passing by. A crowd had gathered, and the Jaina monk said, "This mind full of anger and violence will lead you to hell." The situation was such that the man said, "I also want to be as silent as you are, but what can I do? I don't know anything. When anger...
... grips me I'm almost unconscious, and now I have killed my own beloved wife." The Jaina monk said, "The only way to still this mind, which is full of anger and violence and rage, is to renounce the world." Jainism is a religion of renunciation, and the ultimate renunciation is even of clothes. The Jaina monk lives naked, because he is not allowed to possess even clothes. The man was of a...
... that have already been born will disappear in a moment. Thoughts die out every second but their total destruction does not happen because new thoughts spring up incessantly. I say it is not that we have to destroy thoughts but that we have to stop their coming into being. Stopping their birth is as good as their destruction. We all know that the mind is fickle. But what does this mean? It means that...
... no thought endures for long. It is born and it passes away. If we can only stop its birth we will be saved from the violence involved in killing it and it will die of its own accord. How is thought born? The conception and birth of a thought is the result of our reaction to the outside world. There is a world of events and objects outside and our reaction to this world is alone responsible for the...
..., immediately violence will arise. He will only be polite, he will only be peaceful because it pays to be peaceful. People like these have created proverbs like "Honesty is the best policy" - even honesty becomes policy in their hands, honesty becomes politics in their hands. Even honesty becomes ugly. Hence before one can really be a man of peace one has to grow love in one's heart. When the flame...
... of love burns bright in the heart your whole being radiates peace. Then there is no way to provoke you into violence - no way. Jesus is crucified and his last prayer is "God, forgive these people because they don't know what they are doing." He is a man of peace, but his peace is coming from his love. Love is the root and peace is the flower. Love is hidden underground. People will see...
... basically divides humanity. One becomes a Christian, another becomes a Hindu, and there is division, there is conflict, there is violence - and the beauty and the irony of it is that the violence is in the name of love! So never dedicate yourself to anything which divides. To dedicate oneself to god means to dedicate to all - to the whole, to the totality. And by 'god' I don't mean that somebody is...
... his experiences are all imaginary, because it is absolutely impossible. After the awakening of the kundalini the tendency for violence disappears completely. Not only does the meditator not commit violence, but he has no feeling of violence within himself. The urge to commit violence, the urge to harm others, can only exist when the vital energy is dormant. The moment it awakens the other ceases to...
... be the other and so you cannot wish to harm him. Then you will not have to repress violence within yourself because then you cannot be violent. If you find that you have to repress the feeling of violence, then know that the kundalini has not awakened. If after the eyes open you still feel your way about with a stick, then know that the eyes cannot see yet, no matter how much you claim otherwise...
... physical body is negative; therefore, she is never aggressive in the matter of sex. She can bear the violence of man in this respect, but cannot be violent herself. She can do nothing to a man without his consent. Man's first body is positive - aggressive. He can, therefore, do something aggressive to a woman without her consent; he has an aggressive first body. But by negative is not meant zero or...
... prohibited Adam from murder, we could have understood; had he prohibited Adam from moving in sex, then all the world religions would have understood. But God prohibited neither sex nor violence but knowledge. Knowledge seems to be the original sin. But why should God prohibit it? Why is knowledge dangerous? Because the very effort to know the secrets is aggression. The deepest aggression. The very effort...
... to unveil mysteries is violence. And the very effort to know means you are getting ready to fight. Otherwise what will you do with knowledge? Knowledge is a device of aggression, fight and conflict. The part is trying to rebel; the part is trying to have its own centre of being separate from the whole. The part is trying to become the centre of the world itself! Not that there is a God who...
... to see how things go on happening on their own. Much happens without your doing. And when it happens without your doing it has a beauty of its own. It has no violence in it. It has a grace. It is lovely. When you do it you force it. The grace is lost, it becomes ugly. Violence cannot be graceful. And to be non violent - this is the only way, as Lao Tzu says. Simply drop knowledge, the doer. Just be...
... concepts, as in the West -- or in India also, as Mahatma Gandhi has been teaching -- their total quality changes. When you say, "You have to be nonviolent because violence hurts others. Don't hurt anybody. Humanity is one family, and to hurt is to sin," you have diverted the whole thing to a totally different dimension. Patanjali says, "Be nonviolent: it purifies you. Don't hurt anybody...
... be good, can be bad. It depends. Fasting can be just a way of torturing the body; then it is bad, then it is violence. And this is my observation: people who are not violent towards others, who have suppressed their violence towards others and have become nonviolent -- their violence starts a new way: as a release they start becoming violent towards their own bodies. There are stories of perverted...
