... the ego you will be the chosen one. If you drop the ego great is going to be the pay-off in the other world - the heaven, the paradise, MOKSHA.' On the one hand they say 'Drop the ego', on the other hand they persuade you, they bribe you, they buttress your greed. They say 'You will be special. You will be extraordinary.' On the one hand they say 'Drop the ego', on the other hand they go on...
... corrupted by me.... And what do you mean by corruption?" They said, "You teach that there is no God or gods." He said, "Yes - because there is no God, no gods. What can I do about it? It is not my responsibility. If God does not exist, are you corrupting the mind of youth or am I corrupting the mind of youth? I am simply telling the truth. Do you think truth can corrupt the minds of...
... an unarmed man... Just a word of truth creates fear in all those people who are living on lies. Even the German parliament -- I have never asked to enter Germany -- without my asking, thinking that perhaps some day I may ask, has passed a law in the parliament that not only can I not enter into Germany, but my jet plane cannot be refueled at any German airport, because I might corrupt their...
... is not going to be corrupted by you. You will be corrupted by your own spitting. The spit is going to fall on you. Your whole effort is absurd. The sky will remain the sky. The wise man is like the sky. That too is very symbolic. Sky means pure space. Why this proverb that spitting against the sky is foolish? Why? - because the sky is not there. If the sky is there your spit may corrupt it. You...
... stones from the rock. His labour was very hard and he laboured much, but his wages were slight and he was not content. Who is content? Not even emperors are content, so what to say about a stone- cutter? His work was certainly hard and the payoff was almost nothing. He sighed because his labour was hard, and he cried, 'Oh, I wish I was rich so I could rest on a couch with a cover of silk.' And an angel...
...? For four years continuously it was right. And when I started speaking it became wrong. Was it a kind of bribe that I should remain silent and should not speak? Who was bringing those watches? She was the one who was bringing those watches. And I don't know how much they cost, and I don't know from whose donation they have been purchased. I don't possess them either. They are possessed by a trust...
.... You are so unaware that any man - the taxi driver who brings you to the ashram - he can corrupt your mind. You can ask about me... and many of you must have asked taxi drivers - because the mind goes on seeking information, what others are saying: 'and they must be knowing.' You must ask the neighbours here: 'they must be knowing.' And they are the last people in the world to know about me...
..., when the "I" disappears ... The "I" is comparable; the "no-I" is incomparable. That's why I say if you become nothing you become unique. If you become nothing you become uncorruptible; the nothing cannot be corrupted. You have heard Lord Acton's saying, "Power corrupts; and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Why does power corrupt? Because power makes you...
... dishonesty was not possible. There it was impossible to detect a sinner for there were no virtuous people. What Lao Tzu is trying to explain in this Sutra is that our lives have always been formed with dualities. If a community becomes too eager to become honest it shows that its members have become very corrupt. If parents teach their children that to speak the truth is a virtue, it shows that the natural...

Once they come closer, then it is possible to talk to them in silence. The words of a sage are only an enticement just as we bribe little children with sweets in order to get them to go school.
