... spiritual experiences, start happening, remember that you are not the doer of them; it is again his gift. Then you will not become addicted. If you think, "I am the doer, and I have become a SIDDHA and I have achieved, and now I am capable of creating these experiences," then you are caught, your ego has come back in from the back door. It used to feel strengthened by having more money, by...
... feel the torture, that is your interpretation. He is simply making more and more joys available to you, but you have to drop your toys. And dropping your old toys is painful. The pain is created by your attachment to the toys. We believe immensely in our toys. And we KNOW they are toys and still we believe in them, our foolishness is such. We know that money is a toy and it will be taken away when...
... and only Buddhas and Bahauddins and Sanais and Sosans are there, there will be only one religion. There will be a kind of religiousness in the world, not any religion in fact - a kind of religiousness. You will have to drop your fairy-tales - Christian, Hindu, Mohammedan. RISE, HAVE DONE WITH FAIRY-TALES; LEAVE YOUR BASE PASSIONS, AND COME TO ME. There are base passions: money, power, sexuality...
... forget it even for a single moment. YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT IT IS HIS GUIDANCE... Always remember that if you start moving towards God it is he who has chosen you. Don't for a moment think, "Look! I am a great seeker of God. I am no ordinary man, I am not worldly, I am not like these worldly creatures. I am a spiritual man. I search for God, I don't seek and search for money or power." You...
... looking all over the earth. You can go on looking and you will not find it, because it is not something to be found, it is something to be remembered. See the distinction, the difference: it is vast. It is a difference that makes a great difference. It is as if you have money in your pocket but you have forgotten. And then one day suddenly you remember and it is there. One day suddenly, searching for...
... needs armies of clerks, stationmasters, etcetera, etcetera. It needs people who are ready to do anything, because they have not known anything higher in life. They have never touched any poetic moment in their life; they can go on counting money their whole life and thinking this is all there is. Love is dangerous. I would like love to become available to each and all. And if marriage happens at all...
... not in everybody's capacity to do it, but I have looked in Subuddha's eyes and I have felt it, that he knows how to surrender. And I am not asking for your money to be surrendered to me. I am simply asking: Surrender your problems to me, surrender all your diseases to me, surrender all your pathologies to me. And in that very surrendering you will be unburdened, you will be free. The last question...
... unalike that the mind tends to compare them. One has this much money, the other has more. One has this quality, the other has something else; the temptation is there to compare. From where comes the temptation to compare? It comes from your own ego. You are constantly comparing where you are on the scale. Somebody is poorer than you and you feel good, and somebody is richer than you and you feel bad...
... ages of seven and fourteen we succeed and the child is killed, the child is destroyed. Then the child is wild no more - he becomes a citizen. Then he learns the ways of discipline, language, logic, prose. He starts competing in the school, becomes an egoist, starts learning all the neurotic things that are prevalent in the society, becomes more interested in power, money, starts thinking how to...
... become more educated so that he can become more powerful, how to have more money, how to have a big house, and all that. He shifts. Then the right hemisphere functions less and less - or functions only when you are in dream, fast asleep. Or sometimes when you have taken a drug. The great appeal of drugs in the West is only because the West has succeeded in destroying the right hemisphere completely...
... criminal is not the drug-taker, the criminal is the politician and the educationalist. It is they who are guilty. They have forced the human mind into one extreme - into such an extreme that now there is a need to revolt. And the need is so great! Poetry has completely disappeared from people's life, beauty has disappeared, love has disappeared... money, power, pull, they have become the only gods. How...
... hemisphere is the end and the left hemisphere is the means. The left hemisphere has to serve the right hemisphere, the right hemisphere is the master - because you earn money only because you want to enjoy your life and celebrate your life. You want a certain bank balance only so that you can love. You work only so that you can play - play remains the goal. You work only so that you can relax. Relaxation...
... you have been running after money too much, one day you decide to run from the world, the world of money and all, and go to the Himalayas. When you reach the Himalayas, by the time you reach there and sit in your cave, you have not even settled there and you start thinking of the world and money and all. You become afraid, sitting in the cave, of what will happen to you - tomorrow how are you going...
... to get your food now you have no money at all? And in the night you become afraid, alone in the forest with no protection. Now you see the point, what was beautiful in the house: you were protected and there was a shelter and safety. Now, when you were in the house you never thought about the protection and the safety; it was accepted, it was taken for granted. You were thinking of other things...
... Garfinkel sat in a train holding a three-year-old boy. Every few minutes Garfinkel spanked the child. 'If you strike that baby one more time,' said a woman sitting across from him, 'I'll give you so much trouble you won't forget it!' 'Trouble?' said Garfinkel. 'You're gonna give me trouble? Lady, my partner stole all my money and ran off with my wife and car. My daughter is in the parlor car, six months...
... himself is not home at this moment, he thinks day and night about ways to get some money and pay you back. He has even asked me to watch the street and whenever a flock of sheep passes to go out and pick up any pieces of wool that might have been caught on the bushes. This way, when we get enough wool, we can spin it, make a couple of shawls, sell them and with the money pay you back.' When she got to...
... this point, the man started to laugh, whereupon Mulla came out of his hiding and said,'You rascal, now that you smell money, you start to grin.' The mind is that rascal. Once it gets any hint of any sort of future it starts to grin. It immediately jumps on it, catches hold of it -- you are no longer herenow. Meditation is for its own sake as love is for its own sake. Ask a rose why he flowers. He...
... player. All medicines were tried, all physicians worked on him, but nothing, no help. And he was drowning and drowning in madness. Then one fakir came, a Sufi mystic, and he said, "Wait! If you can bring a great chess player, it will be of great help. He has to play chess with this mad king." Now who would like to play chess with a madman? But the king was ready to offer as much money as was...
... asked for. A chess player was ready; so much money! And the mystic was right: after one year the king was perfectly sane. But the chess player went mad. So if you have a discussion with me, beware, you will go mad! - because I am not a consistent man. I am not logical either, I am absurd. And Habib missed the point. If he was a Freudian I would have attacked Freud, if he was a Marxist I would have...
... somehow to create a kind of emptiness in yourself. It is a forced emptiness. "... which you call 'being a hollow bamboo' - silent, watching, empty..." It is not what I call the state of being a hollow bamboo; it is not. If it were, then there would be no desire for God, because there is no desire. It does not matter what you desire; God, money, power, prestige, it matters not. Desire is desire...
..., its taste is always the same. Desire leads you away from the present, from the herenow into the future, somewhere else. Desire does not allow you to relax into the moment. It takes you away from your being. So what you desire does not matter: you can desire presidency of a country, or you can desire money, or you can desire sainthood, or you can desire God, you can desire truth - desire is desire...
... an act, it is a state of being - you can be in it but you cannot make it. You fall in it, it is not an effort. Sex can be made, not love. A prostitute can give you sex, not love - because how can you make love on order for money? Impossible! How can you make love for money? It comes on its own. It has its own mysterious ways. You cannot control it, you can only be controlled by it. You cannot...
... would talk about money, kingdom, politics, and he was there to talk about God, meditation, religion. So one day he said, "Forgive me, but this I cannot understand. I come here to talk about God, religion, meditation, SAMADHI And this is ridiculous - that I, a man of the world, come to talk about samadhi, enlightenment, and you, a religious man - supposedly religious, because now I have become...
... suspicious - you always, whenever I come, talk about the kingdom and politics and money and thousands of things, but always of the world. How do you explain it?" The fakir laughed. He said, "There is nothing to explain. It is simple. You talk about things you don't know. I talk about things I don't know. It is simple. Why should I talk about God? I know. Why should you talk about kingdom? You are...
... again open a door of desire. In the world you desire money, power, prestige; then you get fed up with it, then you see the whole thing is just rubbish - even if you get it you are defeated, if you don't get it you are defeated. Then you come to feel that this whole thing is nonsense. Now suddenly you start playing new games: enlightenment, meditation, yoga, God, the other world, the other shore! Again...
... the mind is at ease; a new world of desire has opened; now you will be after these goals. And money is not so elusive as meditation. This world at least is solid; that shore, that world, the other world, is absolutely fantasy. Now you are in a deeper ditch than before. With the first you could realize that it is useless, with the second now it will take millions of lives to realize that this too is...
... you? From where does this grip come? There must be much emotion involved! Just smoking in and out cannot have grips.... So many millions of people smoking, doing such a stupid thing; wasting money on it, life on it, suffering a thousand types of diseases, but still continuing. There must be more behind it than appears to the naked eye. It is not simply a cigarette, it is very symbolic, it is a...
... they missing? They enjoyed a thousand years before, they enjoyed always, they are enjoying now, they will be enjoying in the future for ever and ever - only man has got a disease called progress. It is a canceric thing. Then you go on sacrificing; you say: How can I enjoy? Today I have to work hard so that tomorrow there is money, and then I will enjoy - but that tomorrow never comes. Then how can...
... manage - and he cannot manage even eight hundred poor people. And they must be desperate, only then could they have come to the point of declaring that they are going on strike if action is not taken immediately. And the pope is now the richest person in - the world. Six hundred million Catholics go on pouring their money into the Vatican - and you cannot feed eight hundred people rightly? And you go...
... which has been Mohammedan for centuries, populated by Mohammedans, dominated by Mohammedans. Now it is their country." If America is so compassionate towards Jews, then give them Oregon. Make it the new Israel - that will be perfectly good. And all the money that is being wasted in Israel would remain in America, and Oregon would become a beautiful country. Jews have done tremendous labor there...
..., but it is all futile. And they have poured all their money there, which is all futile. Nothing is going to help: the trouble spot will remain continuously a trouble spot. It is just a small island in an ocean of Mohammedans. You cannot finish that ocean; that ocean is, sooner or later, going to drown you all. Giving Oregon to the Jews - this would have been generosity, compassion, friendliness...
.... Anyway, fifty percent of Oregon's land is already federal government land, and the remaining fifty percent they also want to purchase. They want to make it a federal, a completely federal, state. So it would have been very easy to give it to Jews; there would have been no problem. It would have helped the Jews, it would have helped America. The money would have remained here, the people would have...
... the purpose of the whole? No purpose at all - it is a sheer celebration. That's why Hindus have called it LEELA - LEELA means a playfulness. It is just a play. Play has no purpose. The moment play becomes purposeful it becomes a game, remember - that is the difference between play and game. If you are simply playing cards with no stake, with no money involved, it is a play. The moment you stake...
... money, it is no more play - it is business. Purpose has entered. It is a game. Now you are gambling. Just a few moments before you were playing; now playing has become secondary. Now the question is how to succeed in getting more money. The thing has become serious; it is no longer weightless. It has fallen from the world of grace into the world of gravitation. It has fallen from the world of power...
... Sufi mystic who was known as a madman.... Many mystics have been known as madmen. They ARE in a sense. The world thinks they are mad, because they follow something utterly absurd in the eyes of the world. The world accumulates money, the world is in search of more and more power and prestige, and they are simply not concerned with these great things. The world wants to possess and have more and more...
