The eighth question
Question 8
  OSHO, I CANNOT CONTROL MYSELF WHEN INSULTED. WHAT SHOULD I  DO?
Dheeresh,
  TIT FOR TAT -- till you become enlightened. And do it  quickly, because once you become enlightened then it is very difficult to do  anything. When somebody insults you, somebody insults you. You have simply to  accept it: ais dhammo sanantano. So whatsoever you want to do, do it right now,  finish it, because here you will soon become enlightened; it is not very far  away.
  And it is natural that when somebody insults you you cannot  control yourself. I have never been telling you to control yourself because  control can't help. If you control you repress; control is another name for  repression. If you can watch, watch; otherwise if there is a choice between  repression and indulging, prefer indulgence to repression because indulgence  will teach you a lesson. Repression won't teach you anything. And you are not a  machine, you are a man.
Warning in the year 2000: due to robot shortage, some of our  bartenders are human and will react unpredictably when insulted.
  You are not a robot so it is natural. It is better to react  truly. But remember one thing: you are free to do whatever you like; you need  only face the consequences -- because I am not saying that you won't receive  blows back. So first see who the other guy is, be a little careful. And you are  alive, you are not dead yet. Once you are enlightened you are almost dead --  alive on the other shore, dead on this shore. So before that calamity happens  enjoy doing whatsoever you can manage to do.
Mulla Nasruddin was studying electricity. To show the class  its practical uses, the teacher commanded that each pupil bring some electric  tool to class the next day.
  The following morning the class held a small exhibition:  electric bulbs, irons, a hair drier, an oven....
  When Mulla arrived he was sweating and carrying a big  artificial lung on his back.
"Mulla," said the teacher, "where did you get  that electric lung?"
"I took it from grandpa, teacher."
"And he didn't mind?" she cried.
"I don't think so, teacher. He just said,'Hrrr....'  "
So before that happens don't try to control, do something -- there is nothing to be worried about. Accept your humanity; it is part of you. If somebody insults you he is challenging you to a fight, so give him a good fight! If you see that he is too big then meditate -- what else to do?
