.... Mahmud was the only enemy on the borders of Prithviraj Chauhan's land - and he was crushed. Prithviraj Chauhan also thought, "In such a situation I would have committed suicide. Any man with just a little bit of self-respect would rather die than be defeated eighteen times." So he simply dropped the idea. The army was dispersed, sent back to work, and Mahmud invaded at a time when he was not...
... Genghis Khan? Just murderers, the greatest criminals the world has known. Small criminals you go on putting to death, and the big criminals make your history. I told my history teacher, "Your history is just a history of crime, and you are trying to make everybody a criminal. Can't you find some innocent human beings and talk about them and teach us that these were the real, authentic people?"...
... to me, "What are you arguing about?" I said, "I am simply making things clear to you. This man is going to die sooner or later; these books will be rotten. I can give you these books, but you have to give one hundred and fifty rupees to somebody, because I have borrowed the money. And in fact you cannot catch me because that shopkeeper is there; he will be a witness for me that the...
... fighting our enemy are needed, only then otherwise not. The army is allowed many things which other people are not allowed. The army is in the service of death; it is allowed to be powerful. It is allowed to remain as powerful as possible: it is needed to kill the enemy. Other people are destroyed. They are forced to remain weak in a thousand and one ways. And the best way to keep a man weak is not to...
... suddenly you put him on a stage and tell him 'Give us a great lecture.' What will happen? He will fall there, then and there. He may faint, he may die... twenty-five years of silence, and now suddenly he is expected to deliver a great lecture. It is not possible. This is what is happening: twenty-five years of anti-love, of fear, and then suddenly you are legally allowed - a license is issued, and 'Now...
... impossible. Then you will die. And you will not even be able to breathe while you are with your wife or with your husband. You have to breathe twenty-four hours a day. The more you breathe while you are with your spouse... Be loving. Then there is a trick again: they talk about 'higher love', and they destroy the lower. And they say that the lower has to be denied: bodily love is bad, spiritual love is...
... death, with reincarnation which may be just a hypothesis, and with all kinds of jargon all the religions have produced. I am a very scientific mind. My approach is that whether you are Hindu or Mohammedan or Christian, communist, theist, atheist... it doesn't matter. I don't see that the atheist is not interested in being peaceful, silent. He may not be interested in God but he is bound to be...
... miraculous acts! On the contrary, this is the reward that they crucify Jesus. I cannot think that a man who raises people from death can be crucified in any country, in any century! The truth is that all these stories are invented. But the followers have to invent these stories to make Jesus as far away from you as possible. Hindus say their Krishna, Rama and other autaras, are God's incarnations on the...
... because at least there is home, at least they provide you clothes, food, cigarettes, medicine, and no work. So why die starving on the street, just commit a small crime and go to the jail. When I was in jail I asked people, "How many times you have been here?" They said, "Who counts? Because each time we are released, within a week we are back. Because what we will do outside? We don't...
... cold would be so much, below zero, and snow would be falling, she would go to the theater - she was a great lover of theater - and the driver of her coach would go on sitting outside the coach in the falling snow. And almost always it used to happen, the man would die. Because nobody knew when the countess would come out - any moment she would get so much disturbed by the theater that she would run...
... towards home to fall into her bed and cry. So the coachman, the driver, had to be there on the coach and it would happen that he would get so cold that he would die. And when she would come out the driver would be thrown away, replaced by another man, and she would go on. And she would never think about this man, who had simply died there for no reason. And she would go on crying tears for something she...
... certain detachedness from all your possessions. That it does not matter much that somebody has taken a few rupees - that it doesn't matter much, that it is not such a life-and-death affair. That you have to understand how the mind functions, how people are money-minded. You are against the thief because he has taken YOUR money. But how was it yours? You must have taken it from somebody else in some...
... afraid, because harmony, silence and peace are nothing but death to the mind. So just shift your problem from the mind. Start living. And with me, it is easy; it has never ever in history been so easy, because I am not telling you to disown the zorba, I am telling you to live the zorba to its utmost. There is nothing to be afraid of. Only add one more thing, and that is meditation. Meditation is the...
... don't see that in that roseflower is hidden the whole philosophy of life -- the leaves are not red, nor are the thorns red nor are the roots red. Yet out of this green foliage comes a beautiful red rose. It is nourished by everything: by the roots, by the leaves -- because the leaves are breathing constantly; otherwise, the rose would die. Branches are constantly doing a miracle -- bringing juice and...
.... Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, I DON'T REALLY HAVE A QUESTION TO ASK YOU -- EVERYTHING IS VERY GOOD. ONLY ONE THING IS CONFUSING ME A LITTLE. YOU HAVE OFTEN SPOKEN ABOUT THE "CHOSEN FEW." PLEASE, WHO IS DOING THE CHOOSING? It is a very difficult question. In the beginning, God used to do it! But there are many hypotheses about what happened to God: some say he died a natural death, some say he...
... hilarious, nobody is laughing. If your laughter is freed from its chains, from its bondage, you will be surprised -- on each step there is something hilarious happening. Life is not serious. Only graveyards are serious, death is serious. Life is love, life is laughter, life is dance, song. But we will have to give life a new orientation. The past has crippled life very badly, it has made you almost...
..., once or twice... He was an absolute audience -- he would come, certainly. Many other professors used to come, but he was the most regular. And we became friends. He was very old. He had worked with Albert Einstein, and after Albert Einstein's death he came to America in his place -- because he was his closest colleague, and nobody could have taken that place except him. We became such great friends...
... it the best. In your deep unconscious, smoking is related with sucking milk from your mother's breast. And as civilization has grown, no woman wants the child to be brought up by breast-feeding -- naturally; he will destroy the breast. The breast will lose its roundness, its beauty. The child has different needs. The child does not need a round breast, because with a round breast the child will die...
... marriageable, fifteen boys will have popped off! Only one hundred boys and one hundred girls will be left. Girls don't die easily. Women don't commit suicide as much as men; men's suicide rate is double. Although women talk about suicide more than men - man ordinarily never talks - women make much fuss about suicide but they always choose to survive because they don't use any drastic methods to kill...
... from darkness, from death, but freedom from everything that you have known up to now - so that you can fly into the fresh sky, enjoying the exhilaration, the ecstasy of the new, of the novel, of the mysterious. Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... whole economy at the service of creating nuclear weapons, it will take three hundred years for you to become as great a nuclear power as Soviet Union or America. In three hundred years your country will die. For whom those nuclear weapons you are going to use? "Secondly, remember in three hundred years America and Soviet Union will not be standing still waiting for you to pick up speed. In three...
... the end of the century you will see a nightmare... on every street you will find corpses and nobody there even to arrange a funeral for them. Fifty percent of India is going to die by the end of this century if nothing is done and I don't think that anything is possible with these people who are in power. They don't have eyes, they don't have any perspective. And they are not ready to listen to any...
... and no-matter meeting. In YOU I can see time and eternity meeting, life and death meeting." That is the meaning of Christ: where the opposites meet and become one. Ordinarily the whole of life is divided into opposites - day and night, summer and winter, morning and evening, birth and death. The point of Christ is the meeting of the opposites, where opposites become complementary and are no...
