..., but you were not aware of it because you were too much obsessed with the desire. The desire for money, the desire for power, the desire for prestige, does not allow your meditation to bloom. Because the whole energy goes down the drain in desires. Once the energy is not moving anywhere... Remember, I repeat again, turning in is not moving in. When the energy is not moving at all, when there is no...
... you are not yet courageous enough to accept that emptiness. Hence one goes on stuffing in many ways. People stuff with food, people stuff with knowledge, and people stuff with many things: money, power.... Deep inside, everybody is empty. And that emptiness is divine, that emptiness is God. Buddha calls it SUNYATA - nothingness. And sooner or later one has to come to terms with that inner emptiness...
... watch the scene, watch what happens. The customers were running and taking their things that they have purchased and have not paid for. And the owner is not in a position to ask about money, to say that their bill has not been paid. He himself is standing high, trying to save his life! It is not a question... And finally he would say, "This is not at all right of you. Why have you brought this...
...; "I know that. I have been watching your business." Their business was that they would go around the cities and ask if somebody wants to have a snake caught. "If you have a snake in your house, we can catch it." And everybody is afraid of snakes, so people would give them money: "You try; see if you can catch the snake in our house." And those were their own snakes that...
... arrival in America from Italy, Roselli had saved enough money from his vegetable business to build a huge house. "I want-a three bedroom-as upstairs," he explained to the builder. "Nice big-a staircase leading up to bedroom-as, and right over here next to a staircase, I want-a hollow statue." Months later, he returned and found everything to his satisfaction. Then he noticed a statue...
... the parents, there was an incentive: dedicating her to God was easier than to get a girl married. It is so difficult in India... you have to give so much money, that not all parents can afford it -- just one daughter, and they will have to sell their land, their house, they will become beggars. So it was very easy, and comfortable, convenient, and virtuous, too -- respectable, honorable -- the...
... 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...
