... banned. The wise men were all agreed; in fact, because these wise people were his servants they were even going further than him, exaggerating. One wise man suggested that of course this was the right thing to be done - untruths should be banned - and one who was found to be saying some untruth should be immediately sentenced to death. He should be hanged in the marketplace so that everybody would know...
... gallows.' Now he created a problem. If you killed him he had said a truth, if you didn't kill him he had told a lie. He said, 'I am going to the gallows. Prepare them. I am going to die on the gallows.' All these wise men and the king were puzzled. What to do with this man? He was telling a lie. If you kill him the lie becomes a truth. If you don't kill him the lie goes unpunished. And the fool laughed...
... your destiny. God wants you to flower from your own being. A great Hasid mystic was dying. His name was Josia. Somebody around him said, 'Josia, have you made your peace with Moses?' Josia opened his eyes and said, 'Forget everything about this Moses. He is not important. I am dying, and you are talking nonsense.' The man became afraid - what is he saying? A pious Jew at the time of death is saying...
..., 'Forget all about Moses.' And Josia said, 'Listen, now I am going to die and I will be facing God. He will not ask me, "Josia, why were you not Moses?" He will not ask me that. He will ask, "Josia, why were you not Josia?" So forget all about Moses. At least in these last moments leave me alone. Let me gather together my being so that I can stand before him on my own feet. I have...
... achieve this and that. Slowly, slowly the idea arises in you that all these things will be taken away from you. Death will come and will annihilate everything: you become frightened, fear arises. Out of fear, you start thinking to search for something which will not be taken away from you: God, truth, enlightenment, NIRVANA, or you can give it any name. Now you start seeking NIRVANA, enlightenment, God...
... have more money, but enlightenment is already there. You bring it with you. It is your original face. It is your emptiness, your consciousness. It is your being. When you die, everything else will die except your enlightenment, except your consciousness. Nobody can take it away from you. But the logic that you have learned in the world drives you crazy. It is very logical to search, seek money, power...
... he doing? What kind of religion is this?" He has a conditioning that the man of God has to die for the world so that the world can be redeemed. The man of God has to become a sacrifice. He has to be a martyr; not a singer, not a musician, not a dancer, but a martyr. A Hindu has a different conditioning: he thinks if Jesus is crucified then he must have been suffering from bad karma from his...
... worry. Why should he leave? He is being thrown out, expelled. He does not want to go out. Life - we call it birth - but the child thinks it is going to be death. It is death to him, because it is the end of the life that he had known for nine months. He is shocked, he feels punished. And he cannot think yet, so the feeling goes very deep into the body. It is a feeling of his total being, not a thought...
... are. I would like to tell Jayaprakash... I love the man. He is a good man, so good that it was not his destiny to be in politics. He is a non-politician. He is a poet, a dreamer, a utopian, a good man - as all dreamers are good men. ... I would like to tell him: Apologize to the country before you die. Tell the country that in your name a gang of powerhungry politicians has cheated you and the...
... moments you have are nothing compared to a Buddha's. I am teaching you a new kind of synthesis. I am all for that transcendence that brings you to Buddhahood, but it is transcendence, not repression. Through repression nobody ever transcends. Through repression one goes on moving and moving in the same rut. Repressing, you have to repress every day. To the very last moment of your death, sex will haunt...
..., beautiful hostels, but no trees at all. I said to him, "Now I understand why you were so much offended by the trees that I love. I cannot survive here. It is true that trees had to be cut to make houses and cities, but that does not mean that trees have to be completely destroyed. Then you will die too. There needs to be a balance because the trees are continuously giving you oxygen. When you breathe...
... was an old man. I said, "Balaji, three hours in the morning, three hours in the evening - what are you asking for? And everyday? - and he has not given it to you?" He said, "I am not asking for any material things. I ask for spiritual things. And it is not a matter of one day; you have to continue your whole life and they will be given after death. But it is certain they will be given...
... is true - number thirteen is thought to be something bad. He showed me that somebody had done this research in his theological college under him: that thirteen is really bad. So he had collected all the information about how many people die every month on the thirteenth. People die every day, but he had taken only the figures for the thirteenth: how many wars have broken out on the thirteenth, how...
... procreate through you, because nature knows you are going to die. You are not permanent; before you die nature wants that life to continue. But man cannot go into sex unless he has something romantic about it, so he has created great smoke around sex, which he calls love. He pretends, even believes that it is love - but watch more carefully. You are interested in a man or a woman. The natural instinct in...
... I am more than a hundred years old, my only wish is to see you one more time before I die." He had come to India when my father died, but because he is a hajji.... He has been on the pilgrimage to Mecca, which is called hajj, and whoever makes the pilgrimage gets the title hajji. Each Mohammedan is required at least one time in his life to go to Mecca, otherwise he will not have entry into...
... me and he would say, "Okay, go. You know that we have to drink that water, but we cannot prevent you. And we know that some day you can be in danger; it is very deep, sixty feet at least. Even if you cry, nobody will hear." I said, "I am not a one to cry. I will die silently, and live silently. I am not going to cry - don't be worried about that. And as far as the depth is concerned...
... soon - but it hurts. To take the pus out is painful. But to leave it inside is to help it to grow; it will spread all over your body. One can only be ready to go through purification if the desire is so total that one is ready even to die for it if that is needed. And it is a kind of death - because the personality that you have always thought you are will have to die. You will have to drop all that...
... values of life disappear. A great darkness surrounds. Sense of direction is lost. One simply feels accidental. There seems to be no purpose, no significance. Life seems to be just a by-product of chance. It seems existence does not care for you. It seems there is no life after death. It seems whatsoever you do is futile, routine, mechanical. All seems to be pointless. These times of chaos, disorder...
... discovered the higher law - the law of grace. Gravitation pulls you down... now this should be meditated over. If there is birth, there is death - to counterbalance it. If there is love, there is hate. If there is negative electricity, there is positive electricity. If there is a law that pulls things down, there MUST be a law that pulls things up. It is simple logic! It need not be proved. It is VERY...
... - both together. My effort here is to create Zorba the Buddha. The second question Question 2: OSHO, I LOVE THE WAY YOUR HANDS MOVE AND DANCE GRACEFULLY WHILE YOU ARE TALKING TO US. I FEEL INTOXICATED WITH YOUR HANDS AND THEIR EXPRESSIVE MOVEMENTS. WHAT IS THE SECRET OF YOUR HANDS? THERE IS NO SECRET - I am just an old ancient Jew. And habits die hard. It was a morning in December, and the air was...
... cause. What was the noble cause? - democracy. These big words are very dangerous, because behind them you can hide anything. Now in the name of democracy, capitalism hides itself. And in the name of equality, communism hides itself. Watch all big words, and whenever a politician uses a big word, be aware - there must be something fishy about it. And don't go on following. It is better to die... if the...
... man who was going to drop the atom bomb had said NO, it is possible he would have been court-martialled. So what? He could have said, "You kill me - that seems to be a lesser evil. I would like to die" - and that would have been a noble cause! - "You shoot me, but I simply say no. I will not drop this atom bomb on innocent people." The people who were destroying poor Vietnam...
... mechanical phenomenon; there is no consciousness behind it. Without God, the world cannot be caring; it cannot be your mother - it is bound to be neutral. Whether you live or die, nature is not concerned at all. Science has created the idea of a nature indifferent to man. This is dangerous, because man is so small and nature is so vast. And if this vast existence is absolutely indifferent towards you, how...
.... And to listen is to understand. Truth needs no proof. Truth is self-evident. All that is needed is the capacity to listen. The student hears; the disciple listens. The curious hears, because his inquiry is intellectual. But the one who is a seeker, whose inquiry is not only a kind of curiosity, whose inquiry is a question of life and death to him, he listens. Everything is at stake. How can you...
... went into the room. It was a cold night, a cold Russian night, but he started perspiring. He could not write a single word on the side where he was to write what he knew. For the first time he became aware that he knew nothing. He thought of many things - God, truth, love, life, death - and it was not that he was not knowledgeable. He was already a very famous author; he had already written his...
.... In that sense the Upanishads have said: ANAM BRAHM - food is God, God is food. In the sense of repose it is REALLY food. As the body will die without food, the soul dies without repose. The materialist thinks only of the body, and the spiritualist thinks only of repose, and both remain lopsided. One has a very nourished soul but an undernourished body; the temple is in ruins. And one has a...
... interest is that if everybody remains healthy, young, nobody falls sick, then he will die of hunger. If everybody is healthy then doctors will be sick, completely sick, sick unto death. What are they going to do? No, a doctor's vested interest is against the philosophy that he has been taught. His interest is that people should remain sick, the more sicknesses the better. Hence you will see one strange...
...-eight-hours-a-day Rajneeshees; in twenty-four hours they do forty-eight hours' work. And it is not only a way of life, it is a way of death too, because living we have our style, dying we will have our style. But we don't teach any religion because w e don't have any beliefs. And this woman says open1'1 that she will continue - whatever the government decides, or the Supreme Court decides, she will...
... shop opened. On his death started a new religion, a new employment source for the priesthood; and really it turned out to be a big business. As far as I know, Jews are still hurting; they missed the greatest opportunity. It was their own boy who started the whole firm, and others are reaping the crop! They missed their chance. So first the pseudo-religions will kill the authentic religious person...
... available without any conditions from your side - then perhaps the almost impossible can become possible. Secondly - and this is an even more difficult thing.... it is as if a person has been dead for thirty-three years. Logically you can ask him, "What is death? - because you have been experiencing death for thirty-three years - how long will you take to define it?" The dead man cannot answer...
... if you ask for happiness, you have asked for unhappiness at the same time; whether you know it or not does not matter. If a certain painting makes you happy, the meeting of a friend makes you happy, a certain song makes you feel happy.... But how long can you remain with the friend? In the meeting there is the departure; in life there is death. How long can you be happy with a song? Soon you will...
... nowhere, it begins nowhere. The same is the experience of bliss. Bliss is within you, without you. Bliss is in life, it is in death. It is when you are healthy, it is when you are sick. It is when you are young, it is when you are old. Nothing makes any difference to bliss. Bliss is simply transcendental to all that exists in the universe. And because it is universal, everywhere - within you, within...
