six feet? They almost killed him. He said, "What are you doing?"
They said, "You have to fit with the bed." But because they could not manage to push him shorter they had to cut off his head; then he fit the bed perfectly. And they told the king, "The guest is in absolute rest."
Just two, three more people were caught by him, and then the story spread. But he killed three kings just by trying to make them fit according to the bed.
That is being done all over the world by all the religions. They want you to fit their ten commandments, they want to make you fit according to their scriptures. They don't care about you; their bed is more important. It is made of twenty-four-carat gold.
Now all those commandments, all those disciplines preached five thousand, ten thousand years ago, have become out of date. They need refinement. They also need to evolve as everything is evolving. But no religion is ready to modify anything or refine anything or evolve anything. It has been given by God, and he knows better, so you have to follow things which don't suit you.
All the religions are old and everything has changed since then: only those scriptures are dead and cannot change. But their ideologies are poisonous, they will kill you. They are killing human beings -- their very spirit is destroyed, their radiance has been taken away, their growth stifled.
And for all this they are respected as virtuous, honored as saints. The more you cut yourself according to out-of-date principles, the more respectable you become -- but the more dead. You will not find a respectable person alive: he cannot afford to be alive.
Women have been taught by all the religions not to enjoy lovemaking; to enjoy it is a sin. Remain almost dead, not enjoying it, so the whole sin goes to the man; you are out of it.
I have heard about a drunkard who was brought into the court in France. He had been making love on the beach to a dead woman.
The judge asked, "Did you realize that the woman was dead?"
He said, "No, I thought she was English." She was lying so silently, unmoving, she was certainly not French!
All the religions have
