@续上文：如果你评判别人，你就会有罪恶感，你就一直评判自己——这是对还是错；放下所有的评判，你就放下所有罪恶感
你们确实被勒索了。整个人类都受到勒索，而且这个勒索还在继续。它从你小时候就开始，一直到你要进入坟墓、神职人员为你布道为止。从生到死，神职人员以上帝的名义、伟大的名义勒索你；政客用民族主义、爱国主义的名义勒索你；你自己的父母用孝顺的名义勒索你。
一次我参加了一个全印度的教授研讨会，它是联邦政府在教育部的资助下举办的。所有的教授只关心一件事情——一个教授接着一个教授——他们都认为问题在于学生没有任何恭敬心，对这种情况必须采取措施。几乎每个教授都完全赞同。
等到我发言，我说：“这些人都在胡扯。”
教育部长惊呆了，所有睡着的教授醒了过来。我说：“问题不是学生不恭敬，问题在于教授不值得尊敬。你们是在从错误的角度看待整个问题，所以你们无法解决它。”
“我说的是经验之谈。我做了9年教授，没有学生不尊敬我。因为我尊敬我的学生，他们怎么可能不尊敬我呢？我尊敬他们，我爱他们，我给他们自由。我告诉他们：如果你想离开课堂，那就悄悄离开，不要打扰别人。不用问我，没有这个必要。你什么时候想进课堂，你就可以进来。不用询问我，因为询问会打扰我、打扰上课。”
当我第一天进入大学教室，我无法相信我的眼睛：女生坐在一边，男生坐在另一边，中间有一个大的空当。我说：“怎么回事？我要对谁讲课？对这个空当吗？我的眼睛没这个本事……”
“所以如果你们想要我上课，你们必须把课桌放到中间合在一起，因为我讨厌看到你们丢纸条——那很难看。为什么不坐在女生旁边，享受对方的温暖，分享你的爱呢？你们的年纪够了——你们不需要克制。我不认为你们是食人族，你们会把女生吃了或做什么……所以立刻坐到一起！”
他们面面相觑：“这是个非常陌生的状况。每个教授都像警察一样，让我们保持距离。这个家伙似乎有点古怪……”
我说：“赶紧的，否则我就离开教室，再也不回来了！”
他们不情愿地把桌子拼到一起。男生们非常不好意思地靠近了女生，他们一直朝她们扔石头，扎破她们的自行车胎。女生有很多……我说：“靠近一些。为什么你们要往这边退，女生要往那边退？你们之间的空当必须被填上。坐到一起！”
他们报告了校长：“我们该怎么办？别的教授来了会说：‘怎么回事？把你们的桌子搬回去！这是谁干的？’我们就一直把桌子搬来搬去。”
于是校长把我叫去，他说：“你这样是不对的。”
我说：“你年轻过吗？”
他说：“是的。”
我说：“那说实话，你当学生的时候有喜欢过女生吗？”
他四处张望，看是否有人在听……我说：“这里没人，只有我，你可以说真话。”
他说：“有的。”
我问他：“你有扎过女生的车胎、扔过石头吗？”
他说：“有的。”
我说：“那你就全明白了。你们创造出一个不自然的环境。现在我的学生不会扎车胎，他们不会扔石头——他们不用这样。这完全是不自然的。他们的性成熟了——在他们13岁、14岁的时候就已经成熟了。现在他们22岁、24岁、25岁。10年来你们一直折磨他们，用他们的生理状况勒索他们，你们违背存在，违背自然。在他们选择伴侣之前，这个时候他们应该拥有尽可能多的体验。”
你逛商场……即使是买小东西你都会货比三家。你要和一个男人或女人共度此生，而你居然不逛商场就……？先去逛商场，到处看看，获得尽可能多的经验。如果你有聪明才智，这些经验都会让你丰富。然后你就能够找到一个可以让你深入爱与友谊的伴侣。
那样就不需要离婚。如果我们给孩子足够的经验，离婚就会很少。那时他们就会知道男人与男人之间，女人与女人之间的细微差别。他们会知道哪种类型的女人或男人会让他们感觉最自在、最安心。你们没有给他们任何机会。这纯粹就是勒索。
你们的父母有责任，你们的上帝有责任，你们的神职人员有责任，你们的老师有责任——你们的整个社会都有责任。但说到最后还是你有责任。当门是开着的，为什么你还要生活在这个牢笼里？走出来！不要问我这要花多久。这取决于你，要么你跑出来，要么你就走得太慢再度被关回去。
一个小男孩在一个下雨天上学迟到了，他的老师问他：“强尼，你总是迟到。你又迟到了吗？”
他说：“有什么办法呢？路上太滑了，我走一步就会往后滑两步。”
老师说：“如果你说的是真的，那你怎么能走到这里？走一步往后退两步……你应该永远到不了这里。”
他说：“你不明白。后来我开始朝我家走！结果我就到了学校。”
所以一切都取决于你——这是一条很滑的路。如果你真的想要，这个片刻它就可以发生。但如果你拖延，那也许就永远不会。不是现在就是永远不会。
And you have certainly been blackmailed. The whole of humanity has been blackmailed, and the blackmailing continues. From the very childhood it starts and it goes on even when you are going into your grave and the priest is giving a sermon. From birth to death the priest is blackmailing you in the name of God, in the name of great things. The politician is blackmailing you in the name of nationalism, patriotism. Your own parents are blackmailing you in the name of obedience and respect for the elders.
Once I participated in an all-India seminar of professors arranged by the federal government under the auspices of the education ministry. All the professors were discussing only one thing -- after one professor, another, another, another -- that the problem was that students don't have any respect, and something had to be done about it. It seemed everybody was in absolute agreement.
When it came for me to speak, I said, "All these people are talking nonsense."
The education minister was shocked, and all the professors who had fallen asleep woke up. I said, "It is not that students are not respectable, the problem is that the professors are not worthy of respect. You are taking the whole problem from the wrong side; that's why you cannot solve it.
"And I am saying it from my own experience. I have been a professor for nine years and nobody has been disrespectful to me. Because I respect my students, how can they disrespect me? I respect them, I love them, I give them freedom. I tell them: If you want to leave the class you can leave silently without disturbing anybody. Don't ask me; you don't need to. Whenever you want to come into the class you can come. Don't ask me because your asking me disturbs me and disturbs the class."
When I first entered the university I could not believe my eyes: the girls were sitting on one side, the boys were sitting on the other side, and in between there was a big gap. I said, "What is the matter? To whom am I going to talk? To this gap? And I don't have the kind of eyes that go this way ..."
"So if you want me to teach, you have all to bring your desks into the middle and be together, because I hate to see you throwing letters -- it is ugly. Why not sit beside the girl and enjoy the warmth and share your love? You are old enough -- you don't need any control. I don't think you are cannibals and that you will eat the girl or do something ... so get mixed up immediately!"
They looked at each other thinking, "This is a very strange situation. Every professor functions like a constable, keeps us apart, and this fellow seems to be strange ..."
I said, "Be quick, otherwise I will leave the class and I will never come again!"
Unwillingly they had to pull their desks together. With great embarrassment they went to the girls who they had been throwing stones at, whose bicycles they had been puncturing. The girls were very much ... and I said, "Be close to each other. Why are you shrinking to this side and the girl is shrinking to that side? That gap between you has to be filled. Be together!"
They reported to the vice-chancellor: "What are we supposed to do? Another professor comes and he says `What is happening? Put your desks separate! Who has done this?' And we are continually carrying the desks from side to side."
So the vice-chancellor called me and he said, "This is not right on your part."
I said, "Have you ever been young?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Then be frank. Have you ever loved a girl when you were a student?"
He looked all around to see that nobody was listening ... I said, "There is nobody. Only I am here, and you can be truthful."
He said, "Yes."
I asked him, "Have you ever punctured their bicycles, thrown stones?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Then you understand everything. You are creating an unnatural situation. Now my students will not puncture anybody's cycle, they will not throw stones -- they don't have to. And this is absolutely natural. They are sexually mature -- they became mature long ago when they were fourteen and thirteen. Now they are twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-five. You have been torturing them for ten years continuously, blackmailing them against biology, against existence, against nature. This is the time they should have as many experiences as possible before they choose a woman or a husband."
You go shopping ... even for small things you go to many shops to check the price, to see the product. You are going to live with a woman or a man your whole life and you have not been shopping ...? First do the shopping. Just go around and have as many experiences as possible. If you are intelligent, all these experiences will make you richer. Then you will be capable of finding a woman or a man with whom you can be in deep love and friendship.
There is no need for divorces. Divorces will be very few if we give children enough experience. Then they will know that there are slight differences between man and man, woman and woman. And they will also come to know with what kind of woman, with what kind of man they feel the most at ease, at home. You don't give any opportunity. This is sheer blackmail.
Your parents are responsible, your God is responsible, your priests are responsible, your teachers are responsible -- your whole society is responsible. But ultimately you are responsible. Why are you living in this prison when the doors are open? Get out! And don't ask me how long it will take. It depends on you whether you run out of the prison, or walk in such a way that you will be caught again and put back into your cell.
A small child was late to school one rainy day, and his teacher asked him, "Johnny, you are always late. Again you are late?"
He said, "What can I do? It was so slippery that I would put one foot ahead and I would slip two steps backwards."
The teacher said, "If you are right, then how did you manage to come here? One step ahead two steps backwards ... you could never have come here."
He said, "You don't understand. Then I started walking towards my house! Finally, I got to school."
So it all depends on you -- it is a very slippery way. If you really want, this moment it can happen. But if you postpone, then perhaps never. Now or never.
