... the court that I had arranged their marriage. I have not said anything. Even if they come back, they will be welcomed, although I have been dragged because of them from jail to jail, poisoned because of them and fined half a million dollars. And I don't have a single dollar; I have not even seen the face of a single dollar. I have not touched money for almost thirty years. I don't know who paid the...
... fine. Of course, sannyasins were so much hurt that within ten minutes half a million dollars were paid. Even the judge could not believe his eyes. They were thinking that that much money I will not be able.... I had nothing. And those who betray are not few, but many. Those to whom I gave respect and love - and still I love them - have done everything to harm my approach to life. They are afraid even...
... unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant;6 indicating that he refused to accept anything but centenaria,7 for there is a place where shekels are called centenaria.8 Scripture writes, [ordinary] meal, and [it is then written], fine meal!9 — Said...
... manehs; a maneh = 100 zuz = 25 shekels. Hence he gave him 400 centenaria, instead of ordinary shekels as he demanded at first: this is deduced from the phrase 'current money with the merchant', implying that it was recognised everywhere as a shekel. Ibid. XVIII, 6: And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of [H]; the two words being apparently mutually...
... words and bribe with money, even so I would weep. Now that I am being taken before the supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, who lives and endures for ever and ever, whose anger, if He is angry with me, is an everlasting anger, who if He imprisons me imprisons me for ever, who if He puts me to death puts me to death for ever, and whom I cannot persuade with words or bribe with money...
... banner over me was love.36 Said Raba: Providing they know the features of a subject;37 providing also that there is no greater [scholar] in the town from whom to learn. R. Abba also said in the name of R. Simeon b. Lakish: He who lends [money] is greater than he who performs charity;38 and he who forms a partnership39 is greater than all. R. Abba also said in the name of R...
.... Lit., 'who throws (money) into a (common) purse'. The serpent was probably given that character on account of its part in the sin of Adam and Eve; cf. also Ta'an., Sonc. ed., 8a, Yoma 23a. Cleave to him, for you will benefit by his scholarship. His piety is tainted by his ignorance, which may influence his neighbour too. Cf. Ab. II, 6 (Sonc. ed., p. 15, n. 5). The poor are afraid to call. Thus he...
... unclean tithe may not be exchanged for money wherewith to buy the requirements of the dead, it being unfit as food, it may be exchanged for the purpose of buying anything for the living. Not with the money for which it was exchanged. In respect of eating. The 'giving'. The expression. 'Thereof'. In that of the Paschal lamb; those occurring in the section of tithe being required for other deductions. Nid...
.... The essential is never born, never dies. The accidental is born, lives and dies. The essential is eternal, timeless; the accidental is just accidental. We become too much attached to the accidental and we tend to forget the essential. A man becomes too much attached to money -- money is accidental. It has nothing to do with essential life. A man becomes too much attached to his house or to his car...
..., or to his wife, or to her husband, to children, to relationship. Relationship is accidental; it has nothing essential in it. It is not your real being. And in this century, the twentieth century, the problem has become too deep. There are people who call the twentieth century 'the accidental century' -- they are right People are living too much identified with the non-essential: money, power...
... is not by nature the kind that disappears, he thought to himself. You will also think that way one day if you suddenly find the world has disappeared. You don't know what else to think. You will think about the cost of eggs, the office, the wife, the money. You don't know what else to think about. The whole world has disappeared! - - but you have become mechanical in your thinking. And what will I...
... cannot desire it, you cannot be ambitious for it. On the first path, the false path, all is allowed. You can imagine, you can desire, you can be ambitious. You can change all your worldly desires into other-worldly desires. That's what the so-called religious people go on doing. They don't desire money any more -- they are fed up with it, tired of it, frustrated with it, bored with it -- but they start...
... desiring God. Desire persists; it changes its object. Money is no more the object of desire but God; pleasure is no more the object of desire but bliss. But what bliss can you imagine? Whatsoever you imagine in the name of bliss is nothing but your idea of pleasure -- maybe a little bit refined, cultivated, sophisticated, but it can't be more than that. The people who stop desiring worldly things start...
...! And it is NOT going to happen right now anyway; it will take many many lives. Meanwhile, why not do other things? Accumulate more money, prestige, power. Do other things: eat, drink, be merry -- because this is not going to happen, this enlightenment, right now; it will take many many lives. And meanwhile you cannot just go on sitting and waiting; one has to do something." Sleeping people can...
... person, with a new consciousness, reborn. ANOTHER DAY, HER SON FELL INTO THE WATER AND WHEN A BYSTANDER CALLED HER, SHE SAID, "TAKE NO NOTICE." Now even more difficult -- because a house is, after all, a dead thing. We can make another house, money can be earned again. But your son falls into the water, is drowning...this is a more difficult situation, more attachment -- your own son. And for...
..., a needle will do. You are looking for swords, and then swords prove failures because you need only a needle. This is not a spiritual problem, just ego. Why shouldn't one fall in love with a girl who is economically below one's status? Is love something economical? Something to think of in terms of finance, economics, money, wealth, status?' I told him one story: One marriage agent came to a young...
... man and told him, 'I have got a very beautiful girl, just exactly fit for you.' The boy said, 'Don't bother me. I am not interested.' The marriage agent said, 'I know, but don't be worried, I have another girl who will bring five thousand rupees in dowry.' The young man said, 'Stop talking nonsense. I am not interested in money either! You simply go.' The man said, 'I know. You don't bother! If five...
... thousand is not enough, I have another girl who will bring twenty-five thousand rupees in dowry.' The boy said, 'You simply get out of my room, because if ever I get married, it is for me to think about, it is not a question for an agent to settle. You simply get out of it! Don't make me angry!' The agent said, 'Okay, now I understand. You are not interested in beauty, you are not interested in money. I...
.... Then only one thing remains, and that one thing is spiritual search.... A deep anguish, unrelated to this world, not related with anything in this world: son, father, money, prestige, power -- nothing. It is not related to them, it is simply existential. Deep down, if you can pinpoint it, it is HOW TO KNOW ONESELF. Who am I? Then this anguish becomes the search. Then meditation can help -- never...
... means "business"; purpose means "I am doing this for that". And because of this purposive obsession, you never do anything totally - you cannot - because you are not interested in doing it for its own sake. Purpose is there. You are painting to sell it in the market to earn money. Then your painting cannot be great, cannot be, because you will not be lost while you are painting...
... is the purpose? Unless you are paid! So money seems to be the end of it all. And what is the purpose of money? You will be gone and the money will be left. And your hundred-rupee notes will think, "So we were the purpose of this man. Now we are here and he is gone. He had certainly come here to collect us, what else?" You will be gone, your house will be here, and the house will say...
... own feeling is that if you want to become religious the USA is the best place, because it has succeeded in knowing, in having all that man has desired for centuries, and in that very success it has failed. That very success has become its failure. It is very apparent that you can have all the money in the world and remain poor inside, that you can have all the gadgets, the latest, and yet remain...
... said nothing. When he reached his church the priest encountered a nun and asked her, "Say, sister, what is a blowjob?" She looked him straight in the eye and said, "Ten dollars!" You just try to look straight in the Indian eye, and you will find ten dollars! They go on talking against money, but all their talk against money is money-oriented. They go on talking against sex, but...
