... the NATURE of desire. The nature of desire leads you into the future; it brings the tomorrow in. And with the tomorrow come all the tensions, all the anxieties, "whether I am going to make it or not, whether I am going to succeed or not." The fear of failure and the ambition to succeed will be there, whether you desire money or you desire victory in the world or you desire to be...
... prospect, but four rings later he pretended he had to go out for cigarettes and staggered off to the watchman's tower. "Listen, old man," he wheezed, "do me a favor and for the rest of the night ring that bell at two-hour intervals instead of hourly. Here, I will give you some money." "I would be happy to oblige," said the watchman, "but I cannot. A beautiful young lady...
... their own heart, they have forgotten about it. But it is there, it has not moved anywhere else. You are still in the Garden of Eden, you are still in God; where else can you be? There is no other place to be. This is my fundamental approach: that there is no goal, no way, you are not to achieve something. The whole idea of achieving is nothing but an ego trip. First you try to achieve money, power...
..., prestige, and when you fail - which is bound to happen, because the mind goes on asking for more and more - when you are in deep frustration, you start turning into a religious person. But your whole pattern remains the same. You still desire a goal. Now it is no longer money, it is meditation; now it is no longer power but paradise. It is the same game being played with other words. Mind has deceived...
... people are making for money, power, prestige, respectability, and all that. But the basic quality is the same. Man's mind has been molded, distorted poisoned, for only one thing, and that is the ego. Sacrifice everything for the ego! That is the single note of our all civilizations, cultures, societies, religions, educational systems. We, from the very beginning, in the child's mind, implant seeds of...
... extraordinary has to be fabricated. You say, Pritama: "HOLIER-THAN-THOU" SEEMS TO BE MY LIFELONG MANTRA. It is in fact everybody's lifelong mantra, in different ways. Somebody is trying to show his ego by his money, somebody by his knowledge, somebody by his political power, somebody by his austerities, somebody by his religiousness. But it is all the same - only excuses differ, but the motive is...
... to be passed over". In Fateh-pur Sikri, this is the first sentence that welcomes you. The ultimate man asked, 'WHAT IS LOVE?' He knows what money is, he knows what power is, he knows what respectability is, but he does not know what love is. He asks: 'What is creation?' He knows technology, he knows science, he knows nuclear weapons, he knows how to destroy the whole of humanity - but he does...
... great. The productive man is only a technician; the creative man is a genius. 'WE HAVE DISCOVERED HAPPINESS,' SAYS THE ULTIMATE MAN AND BLINKS. What is their happiness? They have all the money, all the power, all the prestige - Is that happiness? THEY HAVE LEFT THE PLACES WHERE LIVING WAS HARD: FOR ONE NEEDS WARMTH. ONE STILL LOVES ONE'S NEIGHBOUR AND RUBS ONESELF AGAINST HIM: FOR ONE NEEDS WARMTH...
... that much money." The boy said, "You don't be worried about the money. I have enquired, it costs only fifty dollars and I have got fifty dollars." He showed him the fifty dollars. The father said, "But from where did you get these fifty dollars?" About that he keeps quiet. The father says, "Unless you tell me where you got these fifty dollars from, I'm not going to take...
... having money? You cannot be rich just by having money. If that is how a man is rich then Buddha is not rich. And if Buddha is not rich, then who is rich? Is Alexander rich? Alexander is a poor man, a beggar. Hence in the East we have worshipped beggars and forgotten about emperors. We have not cared much about the emperors. They come and go - that is the surface of existence, non-essential. Have you...
.... But in the modern world we forget the essence and look at the gross. If a man has much money, we look. If he has a big car, we look; i he has a big house, we look. We forget the essential. We don't look directly into his heart. We don't have the eyes. In fact we don't believe that he has a heart, we don't believe that man has a soul. Man is just a body, a physical thing, and so is everything else...
... you going so easily, but we cannot jump - we know people have died from here." That bridge was known as Death Bridge and that was the easiest, cheapest way to commit suicide. Even if you purchased poison, some money was wasted, but from that bridge it was simply easy. The river there was the deepest and it took you away. Nobody would even find your body because just after a few miles it met a...
... cannot give you money because I cannot tell my parents that I need money to learn snake-charming. That will be the end of it." He said, "That's true. But have you got their permission?" I said, "If I get their permission I get their permission only when I don't want to do something. Whenever I want to do something I do it first, then whatsoever happens, happens. When I have done it...
... hear what he hears. He remembers through hearing. I was traveling in a train in the middle of the night and I entered the compartment which was reserved for me. It was a small, two-couch compartment. One, the upper one, was already occupied, the lower was reserved for me. As I sat on the lower bunk and gave the money to the porter, and gave instructions to the servant about when I would like to have...
... the eyesight they could use for anything. They were not averse to riches. All the ashramas were, in the beginning, tremendously rich, because the kings continued to pour in as much money as possible. And it was not only one king coming to one rishi, because rishis and their ashramas were not part of any kingdom. That much respect the East knew; that you could not claim the ashrama of a rishi as part...
... of your kingdom. So he was independent. Other kings were also coming to him. He was not possessed by any king who could say, "You can only advise me. I have given you the land and I have given you so much money, and so much luxury and so much comfort and protection, so you are only to be my adviser." No, such a thing was inconceivable. If the rishi has accepted all that you have offered...
..., the same again; the same in this life, the same in the next life, the same in the life after that life - the story of the past is the same, the story of the future is the same. The same sexual desire, the same anger, the same hate, the same friendship, the same enmity, the same earning of money, the same making of a house - and after doing all this one finds one day that a gust of wind has come and...
... soul never commits any theft. There is the body's hunger, its pain, and its misery; or one's child is dying and there is no money for medicine - one commits the theft. All this is a theft because of the body. Up until now we have not been able to differentiate between the thief from the body and the thief from the mind. A thief from the body means that it is the society that is criminal. A thief from...
... body alone - just the body alone - never goes out to commit any theft. Even if you slip money in the pocket of a dead body, it won't be called a thief when discovered. What does a corpse have to do with theft? Because it is a corpse, it cannot perform actions as such. Mind alone also cannot be a thief. No matter how much a mind may think, it cannot commit a theft alone. Not only that, if there was no...
... wiped out. If I have committed a theft I will give a donation" - from the same money. Other than that where would the money come from anyway? A big thief will become a big donor. He will steal one hundred thousand rupees and donate ten thousand rupees. Then there can be no fear in stealing, because you can donate to destroy the effect of the theft. You can murder someone and then give birth to a...
..., there was no reason to weep. His tears dried up - and the house was still burning, the same house. But now that he thought it was insured, the relationship of 'mine' had shifted from the house to the insurance money. But then the son came running to the scene and saw his father standing in front of the burning house laughing. The son said, "I definitely did go to the fire insurance office, but...
