... to shift the capital from Delhi to a fresh capital, completely newly-made. His whole life he poured as much money into it as possible - and he created a city, Fateh-pur Sikri - a beautiful city, almost a miracle city. All stonework .... He gathered all the best stone artists and craftsmen from the world, and the best stones, marble. He made the whole city his whole life. Nobody has ever lived in it...
..., because to create a capital so that the whole of Delhi could be shifted in just a single move .... Akbar died and Fateh-pur Sikri remains incomplete, although a vast city. So much money wasted, such huge and beautiful buildings, each inch a piece of art - but for what? Nobody has ever lived there. Nobody is going to live there ever, for the simple reason that when the city was made nobody thought of...
... water. Nobody thought that many more things are needed when people live there - land is needed for crops .... It is a very weird experience to be in Fateh-pur Sikri, a city made with so much money. I think no other city has ever been made in that way - and nobody ever lived in it. It was a ghost town from the very beginning, and it is going to remain a ghost town. Even now thousands of people can be...
... in the whole world ...." I said, "That is very easy, it can be done in a very simple way. Just shave half your hair, and you will be the only man in the whole world with half the head shaved. Why waste so much money? Just cut half of your moustache and you will be a walking exhibition. This car is stuck here - people have come to see it. They will not need to come anymore. You go to the...
... exactly the mind of people. You have money so you can fill your palace with all kinds of junk. People don't have that much money so they fill their minds - that is cheaper - with all kinds of junk." And politicians particularly do this because the politician has to deal with the lowest mob. He has to descend to the lowest, only then can he communicate. And slowly slowly he becomes that person...
... being, not by doing. The question is not of doing anything; the question is of becoming silent and discovering your being. Doing is always extrovert. Of course, if you want more money, you have to DO something. Just sitting silently doing nothing, the spring comes... and the money does not grow by itself! The GRASS grows by itself, but not the money. You will have to do much: you will have to run...
... after it, you will have to fight for it, you will have to be aggressive, ambitious, violent; it is a very competitive world as far as money is concerned. But your BEING IS not something outside you. If you want to be the president or the prime minister of a country you have to do much, you have to be constantly doing; there is no rest, no peace. And you have to be almost insane, because the fight is...
... money, power, prestige, you have to kick and create as much dust as you can. The more you kick, the more dust you create, the better. But for the inner world you have to stop kicking and creating dust so that all dust settles and you can see clearly who you are. So it is not a question of doing anything. Bliss is your self-nature - just discover your being and you will find it AS a consequence. Jesus...
... unconscious whatsoever you interpret is your interpretation. A country bumpkin sort of fellow was elected Justice of the Peace in a backwoods town. Although he could count money, he had never learnt to read and write much beyond being able to sign his name. Not being able to read the law and also not wanting people to know how ignorant he was, he developed a system of fining people - not from a lawbook but...
... the streets - only once a month; he had to go to the bank to draw some money.... His father, seeing his son and his inability to decide about everything, had deposited some money in his name because it was absolutely certain he would not be able to do anything in his life. A good offer had come for a professorship; he pondered so long that the university decided to appoint somebody else. So he lived...
... in a very poor way, because the money in the bank was limited - that was his only money, and he had to live his whole life on that money. Once every month, the first day of the month, he would go to the bank to withdraw a small sum of money and come back home. Even going to the bank he would ponder whether to go this way or that. He would stand at the crossroads for hours-and not just once, it was...
... leaves the riches, he leaves the things of the world, he leaves society just to get out of bondage, out of the fetters of the world. Then he creates new fetters for himself. Those fetters are negative. I have seen one saint who cannot touch money. He is respected - he is bound to be respected by those who are mad after money. He has moved to the other pole. If you put money in his hand, he will throw...
... it as if there were some poison or as if you have put some scorpion in his hand. He will throw it and he will become scared. A subtle trembling comes to his body. What is happening? He has been fighting with money. He must have been a greedy man - too much greed. Only then can he move to this extreme. He may have been too much obsessed with money. He is still obsessed, but now in the reverse...
... it. And they are carrying the whole world; then they get burdened. And in this experience of misery there arises a new desire for the opposite, so then they start hankering for the opposite. They were running after money, so now they run after meditation. They were running after something in this world; now they are running after something in that world. But the running remains, and the running is...
... leave Antelope we have to sell all the properties of Antelope. If the people of Antelope want their city back, they have to take their houses back, they have to purchase them. We have given them enough money for it. We will not ask for payment for all the developments that we have done in their dilapidated houses. In four years prices have gone much higher. We will ask only the same amount that we...
... invested money there, which has to be taken out.... The people of Antelope will be very happy that you simply leave their houses, and they move in their houses free, without giving any money for them. That will be harming the commune. Sheela has left the commune fifty-five million dollars in debt. We will make it; there is not much problem. But if you start behaving this way, you will be creating more...
... pensions to all the Red Indians so they need not work. When somebody gets money and has no work, what is he going to do? Drink alcohol, gamble, go to prostitutes - he has to do something; he has money and no work - and remain continuously drugged. The Red Indians never think of freedom, cannot think, they are so drugged. The barbed wire around the concentration camps in Germany was nothing. The American...
... path of those who are ready to go through the transformation, who are ready to drop their personalities, their defense measures, who are ready to open their hearts to receive the light that is rising on the horizon. It is simply a case of receptivity, sensitivity, sincerity and an honest search. Your success is sure. Miss Bradshaw, a comely high school teacher, had saved money for several years and...
... aged between five and twenty-five. A single question was asked: "What are the two values which you think the most significant and important in life?" And it is shocking to see the answer, from the five-year-olds up to the twenty-five-year-olds. The answers are: money and success. These two things are the most important in life: not love, not laughter, not meditation, not blissfulness, not...
... even God. Money and success. But in a world where money and success are everything, you cannot be authentic - it is dangerous. You will have to repress your individuality and compromise at every step for success, compromise at every step for money. I am reminded of a young man. His name was Subhash Chandra. He became a great revolutionary and I have tremendous respect for him, because he was the only...
... ordinary life, you are bound to go into search for something else, something different, something qualitatively different. The average mind goes on into the world of quantity; you have a house, you want a better house; you have so much money, you want more money. This is the world of quantity. The intelligent mind moves in a new direction, a new dimension of quality. It is not a question of more money...
..., "You are always wasting money. What does it matter to a dead man, whether it is Rolls Royce or an ordinary car? I don't agree; a dead man knows nothing, and anyway he is not accustomed with Rolls Royces. He could not manage his whole life, why we should waste our money when he is dead?" The third boy said, "In fact, what is the need of a car? We can arrange just a truck from the...
... rich are scarce. As a musician you cannot earn much; as a flute- player you cannot compete with engineers, with doctors, with politicians, with industrialists. Naturally the parents who have been interested in money would like to send their children into a certain pattern of education which brings them the right qualification to be rich. The decision is arbitrary. The person about whom it is being...
... decided, his potential has not even been taken into consideration. He may have the potential of becoming a great dancer, or a great painter, he may not have any greed for money, but you are forcing him into a direction where greed for money is an essential to be successful. Even if he succeeds... of which there is not much chance, because unless you have an inner urge, an instinct for money, the chances...
... diamonds, why go for the colored stones? And when you can be the chooser, why be accidental? They can choose, if they want, a Henry Ford, who will make great riches possible. Money is an art, just as anything else; it has its own geniuses. Everybody cannot be a Henry Ford! If you want your child to be a Gautam Buddha, then you have to see, according to the genetic analysis, which sperm has the...
... remain a nun, then I will expose the reality, the inside story of the monastery and what is going on inside there. Nobody is following the teachings that they teach to the layman outside. There are all kinds of corruption. Monks, who are not supposed to have money, have accumulated money. Monks and nuns who are not supposed to have any sexual relationship are having sexual relationships. And I have...
... been tortured in so many ways that if you insist, I will expose it to the whole world." She said, "My younger sister is still there. She also wants to come out of the monastery but she is only eighteen years of age." Truth is not divisible But still, in India, money functions like miracles. They must have bribed the police, they must have bribed the magistrate. An arrest warrant was...
... supposed to keep anything with them. They all had money, and they were all hiding their money. And they all had their agents everywhere who were bringing things -- even in the night -- for them to eat. And none of them was celibate. I would love that girl to turn up here, because here we can give her total freedom to be herself. We don't have any belief system and we don't have any commitment. And from...
... enlightened, you look here and there. You cannot trust -- "My god, I am enlightened! And I have not done anything. I have not tortured myself, I have not prayed. I have not fasted, I don't know the scriptures." But I say to you that for everything except enlightenment you will have to work. If you want money, you cannot sit with closed eyes. If you sit with closed eyes, you may even lose money...
... -- somebody may cut your pocket. For money you have to work hard. If you want political power, you have to work hard. You have to be cunning, you have to be dishonest, you have to be a hypocrite. You have to use all kinds of right or wrong means to achieve the end. Only enlightenment, in the whole phenomenon of existence, is without any need to deserve it. It is already there. You can deny it as long as you...
... want, you can find excuses as long as you want, but finally you will be tired of excuses and you will have to accept it -- "Yes, I am enlightened." It is just a totally different phenomenon. It is neither money, nor power, nor prestige, nor reputation. You don't have to learn it, you don't have to earn it. It is in your very heart, it is your heartbeat. You have just to look into your own...
... your past lives together. Your sex was true tantric love. Channels and psychics confirmed what you already knew intuitively, that you had found your soulmate. "Now, it is years later," the taped voice goes on. "The glow is gone. The sex is ordinary, and your soulmate is a pain in the neck. Your partner takes the biggest piece of cake, wants more money, and falls in love with any shmuck...
