... tremendous help to people. But the trouble is the profession will be gone, and thousands of psychoanalysts who are earning so much money will not be ready for the whole profession to finish. This is a problem. It is such a deep problem that some way has to be found. Otherwise, even if somebody understands the fact intellectually, he will not be ready to do anything, because that will destroy his own vested...
... interest. It is like the doctors: they help the patient to be cured, but deep down they want the patient to take as long a time to be cured as possible. They don't want to kill him because that would not help their profession, but they would like him to hang between life and death as long as possible, because the longer he is hanging between life and death, the longer they are earning money. If he is...
... years, I have cured in three days!" The father hit his head with his hand. He said, "You idiot! That woman has been providing money for your education! And you have cured her. She is so rich that she could have been able to provide for your other two brothers who are in college. And she is strong enough; she will not die, but we have to keep her just in the middle." The boy could not...
... ... And Mohammedans are poor because of certain of their religious ideas. They are so fanatic that they cannot change those ideas, and unless they change those ideas they are not going to be rich. Their ideas simply go against the whole economics. Mohammedans are against lending money with interest or borrowing money with interest. Now, the whole world of economics depends on interest. The whole of...
... banking, the whole of business, even the nations, even the greatest industrialists, the super-rich - all are dependent on loans. Nobody is going to give you money without interest, and Mohammedanism is against interest, saying that it is the greatest sin, to take interest or to give interest. Naturally, Mohammedans have remained the poorest people of the world. I have seen poor Mohammedans selling their...
... rubbish. They are freed from many unconscious wounds; they are cleaner, as if they have just taken a shower." But in the whole world there is not a single man who is completely psychoanalyzed - for the simple reason that you may unburden yourself twice a week, and give a tremendous amount of money, but in the remaining five days what are you going to do? You will again collect the same junk. Your...
... help people, but to strengthen the church. In this way they collect money, in this way they keep a hold over people because a person who has committed three rapes cannot now go to another fold; otherwise the Catholics will immediately expose him, that he is a rapist. And the priest knows everybody inside and outside - that gives him immense power. But confession in itself - confession to the trees...
...;You are sinners if you do such and such thing." So first you make them guilty, then bring them to the confessional, then take money for it. And there is no God to pray to. But talk to the universe, open your heart without anything held back, and you will feel a tremendous relief, a sense of cleanliness, purity, innocence. So if your questions feel like confessions it is perfectly good; don't...
... implication is that religions need misery, despair, unhappiness, for their very survival. And they have a vast investment. Now the Catholic Church is the greatest firm, compared to any business firm in the world. Six hundred million people, almost a nation, are under the thumb of a Polack pope. So much money and power and prestige is bestowed on religions, their deities, their temples. In India there is a...
... courage." I said, "I can bring delicious food for you. These people will be very much against me, but if you are ready...." He said, "Don't talk about such things. Don't seduce me! You are trying to drag me out of my spiritual path." I said, "I am simply wasting some money for your food, I am not dragging you. Once you are okay, then you can drag yourself anywhere you want...
... world." This is, in essence, the teaching of all the religions. Their kingdom is beyond death, a fiction. Torture yourself if you want to enter their fictitious paradise. And meanwhile let the priest enjoy the power, the money; let the priest enjoy the ego. In fact, seen in the light of psychological analysis, the whole humanity has been, up to now, sick. But because the sickness is so prevalent...
... come in. He came in. He said, "My mother has died, and I don't have even enough money to bury her." I gave him one rupee. In those days that was even enough to get wood and burn your mother. The man looked surprised. He was a professional beggar. I knew it, because I passed through Kanva many times, and it was always his mother who was dying. I could have asked, "What a great mother...
... beggar, I cannot cheat you. You still trust me?" I said, "You have done nothing wrong. I have money, you are poor; any excuse will do. And don't you think that I am also immensely interested in your family? - because your mother has died many times before. I have been passing through this railway station so many times, and it was always your mother. How many mothers did you have?" He...
... said, "I want one thing to be clear; otherwise I will carry this wound in my heart forever. How could you trust me?" I said, "I thought perhaps you went on forgetting that it is the same man you are asking for money: 'My mother has died, my father has died, my wife has died.' Perhaps you were thinking you were asking different people" - because he came with different clothes. One...
... Indians are being paid for doing nothing. Naturally, when a man has nothing to do and gets enough money, he gambles, he drinks, and he produces more and more children, because each child brings with him more money from the government. This is a very psychological slavery; the Red Indians will not want to be freed. If they are free, and the country belongs to them, then what about their gambling...
... with his wife the floor above me - both had come to be initiated, and they turned out to be beautiful people. Americans can go to the Himalayas.... I have heard about one American who got fed up with all the money he had, all the luxuries he had - and death was coming near. So he went in search of someone to assure him that death is illusory and you are eternal. Of course, he could not believe...
...: "Even if you have to borrow money, borrow it, but drink ghee as much as you can" - because after death you are not going to be questioned, punished. The person who had given you money cannot drag you into the court of God; there are no such things. His whole philosophy is simply, "Eat, drink and be merry." You can believe in it - the theists will call it DISbelief. And that's what...
.... But it continues. One small sect in India is that of Radhaswamis. They divide the whole existence into fifteen parts; the earth is the lowest. I have been to their temple in Agra. They are very egoistic people; they have been trying for almost one hundred years to make the temple better than the Taj Mahal. They have poured immense amounts of money into it, but only one story is complete. They have...
... famine in Bengal, people were found eating their own children. You cannot conceive it, but rather than die it seems to be logical and rational to eat your own children. Those who were not able to do such a thing sold their children, knowing perfectly well that the people who were purchasing their children would eat them. And with the money they purchased other people's children. This way they protected...
.... "He told me he had been saving up for sixty years, and I thought he was talking about money!" Just look around, look at people's behavior and you will be surprised. This idea that we have become civilized is very dangerous. It is preventing us from being civilized, because once you accept that you are civilized there is no need to work for civilization. Once you accept you are healthy, there...
... money for almost thirty-five years! Perhaps they were hoping that because I don't have any possessions ... how was I going to pay? Almost half a million dollars! So naturally, if I could not pay them they would have an excuse to put me in jail for at least twenty years, thirty years. And you call this world a civilized world? And for what did they deport me? They did not allow me even to stay a single...
... body. And everything else that he used to be identified with - the wife, the children, the money, the power, the prestige are all left far away. Just a pure consciousness, just a flame of light has remained within him which is indestructible. Krishna says, in one of his most beautiful statements, "Nainam Chhindanti Shastrani" - you cannot cut me with weapons - "Naham Dahati Pavakah...
... empty and you want to fill it with something - anything. You are always a beggar waiting for somebody to give something to you. But your inner emptiness is vast; it cannot be filled by money, power, prestige, respectability. You may have all and still you will feel the same emptiness. In fact the more you have the more you will become aware of the emptiness, and then arises a tremendous anguish: "...
... overflowing, sharing yourself with others. The only real sharing is the sharing of your being - not your money, not your house, not anything else, but only of your being. Only that belongs to you; everything else is not authentically yours. You were born only with your being. That is yours - and then you accumulate many things which are never yours; the day you die, you cannot take them with you. You lived...
.... They may be equal but that society will not be worth living in. And in the commune in Oregon I became aware of a simple method to do it: just remove money from the commune. Anybody can donate to the commune but nobody can purchase anything with money. Yes, whatever is anybody's need, the commune should fulfill it: each according to his need. And if you just remove money as a method of exchange, a...
