... them." He accepted the golden coins - and in those days it was a lot of money, one thousand golden coins. And then he said, "Now, I have accepted them... now these coins are mine?" The man said, "Yes, I have given them to you." He said, "Now, take them and throw them into the Ganges" - which was flowing just behind the temple where they were sitting. The man was...
... - not from small things, money and power, but even from their souls, from their consciousness; that they have been prevented from their potential of becoming enlightened just to serve some vested interests - there is going to be a tremendous rebellion in the whole world. I do not call it revolution, I call it rebellion. Each individual has to rebel - there is no need to make a party, there is no need...
..., "I am going to bend down and eat grass -- you had better brace yourself!" It was the young British professor's first visit to the United States, and in his innocence he sought lodging in the city's red-light district. His money, however, was as green as his outlook, and the madam gladly offered him a room for the night. When a friend questioned him about his accommodation over lunch the...
... a false center. And there was no ordinary alternative available -- money, technology, science, political power -- so the only thing to fall back upon was a spiritual longing, the other world. And it is easy, because then you are dealing with invisible goods. Nobody can prove it, nobody can disprove it. It is very easy to live in hope of the other world. But who will create that hope? Then you have...
... few specialists? Neither spectator nor performer gain anything from this, for the latter's attention is totally into making money. The dance comes not from the soul; it is merely superficial skill. The dancer is actually not dancing at all, since the dance doesn't penetrate enough for him to lose himself in it; his mind remains apart, involved with the money he is making. It happened this way: The...
... reminds me of him. Nobody knew his name. He had nothing except a jug; and the Hindi word for jug is magga. Because he had a jug to drink water out of, or to have food in - that was his only possession - people started calling him Magga Baba. He was so simple that people would drop money into his magga - he would never beg - and some other people might take money out of his magga, but he would never...
..., and you will not find any more greedy people than these. They are greedy for pleasures in the other world and here too they are greedy, but in a roundabout way. They will not collect the money for themselves, they will collect the money for the temple - and they are the real owners of the temple. You will be surprised to know that even the stone statues in the temples own land. What a tricky mind...
... the merchant whom he first met at Philadelphia when on his way to Jerusalem. A representative of this merchant had sought out Jesus when passing through Nazareth and escorted him to Damascus. This part-Jewish merchant proposed to devote an extraordinary sum of money to the establishment of a school of religious philosophy at Damascus. He planned to create a center of learning which would out-rival...
... the esteem of his Alexandrian friends and in compensation for the time and expense of coming over to Caesarea to confer with them. But he likewise refused the money, saying: “The house of Joseph has never received alms, and we cannot eat another’s bread as long as I have strong arms and my brothers can labor.” (1414.3) 128:5.5 His friends from Egypt set sail for home, and in subsequent years, when...
... desires, your very being begins to irk you, hurt you. So long as you have desires, being does not seem to be at all irksome, because you keep your being occupied with something or the other. If you are after money, your being is occupied with making money. And if you want prestige and fame, your being is occupied with earning name and fame for you. But what will you do with your being when your desire...
... for money will have left you, when you will cease to hanker after position and prestige, when even the desire for sex will be gone, and you will be left with nothing to do, when doing itself will cease? It is then that your being will begin to pinch you directly. Then being will disturb you and you will come to feel that you don't need it. It is for this situation that Buddha says, "No, there...
... businessman. He is not even a shudra, a workman. He cannot be happy with an intellectual pursuit, nor with earning money. He can find his joy only in adventure, in meeting challenges, in fighting. He can find himself only through an act of adventure. But he is speaking of something which is not his forte, and therefore he is going off track, deviating from his self-nature, from his innate being. And so...
... fulfilled. He is a gambler; he cannot live with out risking. And he is not content with staking petty things like money, he will stake his whole life, where every moment hangs between life and death. Then alone, he can come to his full flowering. Such a man is a kshatriya, a samurai, a warrior. Someone like Rockefeller or Morgan finds his fulfillment by creating wealth. There is an interesting anecdote in...
... great painter said, "It is a downright imitation; you just wasted your money." The man was startled and said, "What are you saying? Your wife confirmed it was your original painting." As he said this, Picasso's wife came in and said to Picasso, "You are quite wrong to say it is not your painting; it is very much yours. I saw you doing it. You even signed it; it is your...
... and child - and you can imagine Nasruddin's child, he cannot be an orderly child because when everything is disorderly inside then whatever comes out is also disorderly. The child was crying, howling and making a lot of noise. The manager had to come and ask Mulla at least seven times that either you take your money back and leave, or keep the child quiet. But why would he keep the child quiet. The...
... manager had to come again and again. Mulla would nod his head and go on silently watching the movie. And then, when the picture was almost over, Mulla asked his wife, "What do you think? Did you like the movie?" She said, "It is absolutely hopeless. So he said, "Then don't waste any more time. "Give the kid a hard pinch; so that we get our money back and go home." You have...
..., 'Kill!' and you will say, 'No! On the contrary, I will offer him my head to chop off.' We do exactly the opposite of what the mind tells us - just as our sadhus generally do. The mind says, 'Go and look for a woman.' The sadhu runs away to the jungle. The mind says, 'Pursue wealth.' The sadhu refuses to touch money. The mind says, 'Rest.' The sadhu stands in the burning sun or sleeps on a bed of nails...
... separate way. If and when you become at all awakened and look within yourself, you will find one part of your mind heading East, one to the West, one to the North, one to the South. One part wants to earn money, another wants to follow the spiritual path, and so on. Mulla Nasruddin set out to get a beautiful wife. When he married and brought home his wife, his friends were shocked at how ugly she was...
... God. Nanak's father was always after him to do something and not be idle. "At least plow the fields," he would tell him. "That I do, father," Nanak would reply. "What field did you ever plow? What harvest have you ever gathered? What money have you ever earned? I always see you sitting home dong nothing." Nanak answered, "You are right, father. You see me always...
... to the one beyond time, which is meditation; the other is to be consumed by time. I have heard: A beggar went to a grain shop and told the grocer, "I have no money today. You will have to give me grain on credit." The grocer was a kind man. He gave him some grain, but at the same time he said, "Look, brother, I have given you grain on credit, but I hope you will not sell it to buy a...
