Audio Osho Rajneesh on Intelligence (Veg food/Circumcision) and Prayer Joke

Transcript:
Have you ever thought that no vegetarian in India has ever received a single Nobel Prize? And in fact they should be the ones to receive most of the Nobel Prizes, because they think they are eating the purest food. Their minds should be purer and clearer and cleaner than those of non-vegetarians. But not a single Jaina has received a Nobel Prize, and it will never be possible because something which is needed for intelligence to grow is missing in their food. But they won’t listen.

I have talked at their conferences and they were all angry, they were ready to kill me. But they won’t listen. I was telling them that it is perfectly good to be vegetarian, but they should understand that there are a few proteins which are missing in their food for which they have to have a substitute.

The best way is to start eating eggs which are unfertilized. They are just like vegetables, there is no life in them. When the hen has not been hanging around a cock, she is still going to give eggs every day. She is not dependent on the cock. So the egg will be just vegetarian, there will be no life in it. And it has all the proteins and vitamins which are needed for the intelligence to grow.

But just the word egg is enough to freak them out: ’’You are teaching us to eat egg!”

I said, ’’You don’t understand. I am not teaching you to eat eggs, I am teaching you to eat unfertilized eggs.”

They said, “Eggs are eggs.”

They will not understand a simple phenomenon: that when it is unfertilized, it is not an egg, it is just the shape of the egg. Otherwise it is pure protein, vitamins, and so cheap and so natural. And it is an absolute necessity for your intelligence to grow.

You will be surprised to know that Jews get forty percent of the Nobel Prizes and the whole remaining world gets the other sixty percent. And there are not many Jews because everybody is killing them. For four thousand years the whole world has been killing Jews. Mohammedans are killing them, Christians are killing them, everybody is against them. So they are a very small portion of humanity, but they get forty percent of the Nobel Prizes. What is the problem? When I worked out what the reason was and I told the Indians, everybody was against me.

I finally stopped talking to the masses because these idiots won’t understand. The Jews are some of the most intelligent people on the earth. Just see: Jesus has turned half of humanity to Christianity; Karl Marx, another Jew, has turned the other half to communism. Sigmund Freud, the third Jew, exploits both. The fourth Jew, Albert Einstein, created atomic energy and nuclear weapons to destroy the whole world.

These four Jews are the most important people in the world. Strange! And the reason is even
stranger: it is their circumcision. It is not a laughing matter at all; it has a scientific basis. Even scientists are now agreeing with the fact that circumcision has something to do with Jewish intelligence. As they have been working on the brain, they have found that there are millions of small nerves in the brain. In this small skull millions of small nerves, not visible to the eyes. And they control your whole behavior, your intelligence, your functioning of the body, your digestion, your blood circulation, they control everything.

The intelligence is controlled by a certain center in the brain. By the side of this intelligence center is the center that controls your sexuality. They are too close. The more intelligent a person is, the more sexual he will be. The more sexual a person is there is the possibility of more energy for creation, for intelligence. And what happens when the very small child, just born, is immediately circumcised?

The sexual organism is connected with the brain center, and particularly in a small child everything is very soft, flexible. And to cut that small child’s unnecessary skin from the sexual organ gives a certain shock. That shock goes not only to the sexual center but because the sexual center is so close to the intelligence center, the shock goes to the intelligence center also. And the shock in a certain way wakes it up.

Mohammedans also circumcise, but not in childhood, later on. Then it is useless because now everything has become fixed. Now things are not so volatile, not so flexible. So Mohammedans don’t get the same Nobel Prizes as the Jews.

So for one hour I used to walk on the platform. All the Mohammedans lining the platform were sitting in prayer, and I was enjoying them. I would just go near somebody and say, ’’The train is leaving,” and he would jump up. And then he would be angry at me, ’’You disturbed my prayer.”

I said, ”1 did not disturb anybody’s prayer. I am simply doing my prayer. This is my heartfelt desire that the train should leave! I was not talking to you. I don’t even know your name!”

He would say, ’’This is strange… in the middle of my prayer?”

I said, ”lt was not prayer because I was watching, you have been looking again and again at the train.” He said, ’’That is true.”

And it was the same all over the platform. I would go to a few people further up and just whisper, ’’The train is leaving,” and again another person would jump up and would be very angry: ’’What kind of person are you? You look religious, and you disturb people in their prayer?”

I said, ”1 am not disturbing anybody. I am just praying to God that the train should leave now.”

What are your prayers? Begging this, begging that, your prayer reduces you into a beggar. Meditation transforms you into an emperor.

Bonus: 3 Types of Prayer

The 3 main types of prayers I’ve observed are:
1 – Asking a higher power for something.
From what I can see, this is the most popular form. I’ve done it myself when I’m in a state of desperation. Please save my loved ones, please get me out of the situation I’m in. Jagjit Singh put it perfectly in his song Sunte hain ke mil jaati hai when he sings –
When I didn’t get anything after raising my hands in prayer, I had no choice but to still raise my hands in prayer. (Jab kuch na mila haath duaon ko utha kar, phir haath utha ne hi padhe hum ko dua se)

2 – Praising the higher power.
These are mostly in form of gospel, satsangs, kirtans, some kind of chant. I don’t know of any culture which doesn’t have this form of prayer. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar say it’s a way of affirming good in yourself. If we are what we think, do and say then the more good we say the more we become that right? So you are basically imbibing the qualities of that person or thing you are praising. Doing it in a group gives it more power.

3 – Out of Gratitude, Love, Pure Devotion (Bhakti)
To me this one as the purest form of prayer. He’s happened to me when I’m so happy, so grateful or so in love that I just need to express it. Madonna put it perfectly in her song Nothing Fails when she sings
I’m not religious but I feel so good that it makes me want to pray.
