..., that the bridge is very small, very fragile, and can be broken by any accident. And once it is broken, the man functions as two, then he is not one man; for forty minutes he is one man, for forty minutes he is another man.

... make you a sannyasin. I can define sannyas as a flying experience to the stars. You should always remain mindful of one thing: that I cannot be deceived. I know how many people are meditating.

And if you have taken a step to change, to...

They neither had to create anything, nor did they have to earn money, so...
... women they had left and run away from into the forest started arriving in their sleep. The monks started seeing them in their dreams.

... thirty years, no bank balance, not a single cent: I don't have even pockets in my dress.

... OTHER WORDS, DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS, THE BASIC NEEDS, THREE SQUARE MEALS A DAY AND SO ON. AS YOU WELL KNOW, I'M SURE, THE REASON FOR THIS HAS BEEN GIVEN AS THE EMPHASIS ON INDIVIDUALITY TO THE POINT THAT THE COMMUNITY IS NEGLECTED, AND YOU'VE GOT PRIVATE WEALTH AND PUBLIC SQUALOR. DO YOU ACCEPT THAT? IS THAT A CONSEQUENCE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO LIVE WITH? A: Just wait. You...
... does his sleep consist of? He is asleep because he has forgotten the route to his heart. He is alert as far as mathematics is concerned; he is fully alert as far as calculation is concerned, he is awake as far as the world is concerned and worldly concerns are concerned -- for money, for power, for prestige, respectability, he is fully awake! He is awake only for the mundane. He is awake only for the...
... know that there is much more to life than logic, calculation... there is much more to life than having money, more possessions, power. If you love, you will have a glimpse of the divine.

The first opportunity is very rare, but the second opportunity could have...

And look at my friend: he was also a king, he would also have been a king like me, but he has renounced -- a man of courage." He...
... became great money- maniacs. Their number is very small; in India their number is so small, not more than thirty LAKHS. In a country of sixty CRORES thirty LAKHS IS nothing.
