.... Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. BELOVED OSHO, AND THE PRIESTESS SPOKE AGAIN AND SAID: SPEAK TO US OF REASON AND PASSION. AND HE ANSWERED, SAYING: YOUR SOUL IS OFTENTIMES A BATTLEFIELD, UPON WHICH YOUR REASON AND YOUR JUDGMENT WAGE WAR AGAINST YOUR PASSION AND YOUR APPETITE. WOULD THAT I COULD BE THE PEACEMAKER IN YOUR SOUL, THAT I MIGHT TURN THE DISCORD AND THE RIVALRY OF YOUR ELEMENTS INTO ONENESS...
... WAGE WAR AGAINST YOUR PASSION AND YOUR APPETITE. WOULD THAT I COULD BE THE PEACEMAKER IN YOUR SOUL, THAT I MIGHT TURN THE DISCORD AND THE RIVALRY OF YOUR ELEMENTS INTO ONENESS AND MELODY. BUT HOW SHALL I, UNLESS YOU YOURSELVES BE ALSO THE PEACEMAKERS, NAY, THE LOVERS OF ALL YOUR ELEMENTS? Whatever is given to you by existence cannot be without a hidden purpose. You have reason. Reason has eyes...
..., you can share only when you have too much - out of abundance. The picture makes it definite. But then you will have to learn millions of symbols for every small thing in the world. And it is too tedious, too tiresome; for each small thing you have to make a symbol. In Chinese, the symbol for fight or war is one roof, and under one roof, two women. It shows that if you have two wives, there is going...
... be one of the greatest steps against war - a basic groundwork for understanding - because most of the conflicts are of misunderstanding, and language plays a great role in understanding or misunderstanding. So there have been people who have tried to create an artificial language accepted by the whole world, but no effort has succeeded for the simple reason that the language you have learned since...
... destruction or for creation. The nuclear war will be a war created by intellect. Intellect has its use, but by some misfortune it has become the master of your whole being. That has created immense troubles in the world. The master is hidden behind these three: the body, the mind, the heart. The master is hidden behind all these three -- that is your being. But you never go inwards; all your roads go...
...? People will simply be enjoying drugs, and without any bad effects so you cannot even speak against them. The governments will be afraid of such drugs, because soldiers will be taking them and then you cannot convince them that they have to go to war. They will become so peaceful. They have to be kept in such a state that they are ready any moment to kill anybody. But if such drugs are available then...
... there will be such peace in the soldiers. The general may order, "Turn left!" and nobody will turn left. I have told you the story of the professor in the second world war who was enrolled because more soldiers were needed, and from every profession. He was a professor of philosophy. He said again and again, "I am not the type one needs to become a soldier. I am a professor of...
... see the real needs of the people. They don't need nuclear weapons, nobody is hungry for nuclear weapons. They need houses, they need clothes, they need food, they need work. But all the money of the nation goes into the service of death and war. The politician can see that if all that power, money, intelligence, can be diverted to the real needs of life, this very earth can become a paradise. But if...
... enlightened people will be enough to raise the consciousness of humanity, at least fully to the superconscious level. And that's enough to prevent war, to prevent violence, to prevent all kinds of crimes, to prevent all kinds of prejudices - not that the whole humanity will become enlightened, but moving from conscious to superconscious is not a small change. It is of tremendous value, it is ten times more...
... has no time limit. That's why we become a little worried about why evolution is not happening - because our time scale is very small. Looking at existence's eternity... our time cannot even be equal to seconds. So there is nothing to be worried about. Changes are happening, and perhaps the days ahead are going to be very, very dangerous. Man may have to change in spite of himself. The nuclear war is...
... a great hope - not in the sense that it happens, but that it creates the situation in which man has to change. Otherwise war is going to happen. Perhaps this big humanity needs such a dangerous situation just in order to change; otherwise it cannot change. That situation is coming closer, and we are fortunate that we have reached here at the right time. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, OFTEN THESE DAYS...
... that great nations which are proud of their independence are simply living an illusion - and they are not deceiving anybody but themselves. I have never been in Germany. I have done no harm to anybody. I have not broken any law of Germany - and their government decides that I cannot enter Germany. The pressure is American. After the second world war half of Germany remained with the Soviet Union; it...
... the world, because only these dangerous people can save the world from being destroyed in a third world war. But it is easy to create fear. And they did it all the way along: all over Europe, in each country I reached they created the idea that, "This man is dangerous" - so dangerous that England wouldn't allow me even to have an overnight stay in the first-class lounge of the airport...
... contrary, they are ready to give every argument to prove that they are not mad. It happened in the second world war, Winston Churchill had gone for a walk in the evening, tired of the whole day's work, and the tremendous responsibility and tension -- because Adolf Hitler was bombing exactly over London. He forgot in his thoughts that after six o'clock he had to go inside the house; an absolute curfew...
... joking. And I have too much responsibility, the country is at war, I cannot remain here! I'm needed in my office; every moment is decisive. The jailer laughed. He said, "Just rest. Three others are also continually harassing us that they are responsible for the whole country, that they are to save the whole world." Winston Churchill thought that now even the last hope.... The doctor came. He...
... entangled with knowledge. And once there is no knowledge, no mind, no time, you are back home. Let me repeat: Sinners have reached, but scholars never. I have heard: George Santayana, a great American philosopher, remarked once during World War II, "I am reading the Upanishads... to take the bad taste out of my mouth." The Upanishads? Why should he read the Upanishads to take the bad taste out...
... not see anything. It can convince only the trusting. It can convince only the disciple. Santayana was bored with all the knowledge that the West has produced in these days, and could see perfectly well that "It is because of this knowledge that this world war is happening." Knowledge creates hate in the world, because it creates separation. Love is not possible out of knowledge, because...
... love is a diametrically opposite dimension. Hence he is right to say, "I am reading the Upanishads to take the bad taste out of my mouth" - the bad taste of knowledge, the ugly knowledge that has created the ugly war, the murderous knowledge. I have also heard: when Arthur Schopenhauer for the first time came across a translation of the Upanishads, he danced - actually! With the Upanishads...
..., cannot yet take possession. In the West, eros has come to a saturation point. It has touched the highest peak; now there is no further to go. The circle is turning back, the wheel is turning back: it will turn into thanatos. In fact the preparation for a third world war is nothing but preparation for a universal suicide. So much energy, so much technology, so much intelligence is poured just preparing...
... for a third world war which will destroy all life on earth - not only human life, but ALL life. Why is there so much passion for war? It is just a vicarious way to commit suicide. Thanatos is eros gone sour. Unless your eros can be again revived, unless your eros can be turned inwards, unless something that has nothing to do with material things, something of the ultimate, enters your life and...
