.... They don't know any human relationship; they know war, they know violence, they know aggression. Their whole effort is to become so dominant that everybody is absorbed in them. That's what Alexander the Great is doing, that's what Adolf Hitler is doing -- better than the first, at least they relate. They relate wrongly, but at least they relate. The first relates only with things -- money, food...
... found; it exists only in darkness. It is a phoney thing: it only appears -- it is not. So the egoist always finds himself empty, and he wants to fill it -- with money, with power, with love, attention, this and that -- and always he finds that everything goes on disappearing, and nothing fulfills. You go on throwing ANYTHING into your ego -- the whole world will disappear -- and you will remain as...
... -- more possibility is there that you will agree with Judas. And Judas must have been the first communist: he said, "This is wrong -- economically wrong. Such a valuable thing, wasted. We could have sold it and given the money to the poor -- and you allowed it. You could have stopped the woman. This is useless; why waste such valuable perfume?" And Jesus looked at Judas and he said, "Soon...
... world, then don't think of money, then don't think of power, and then don't think of respectability. Then only think of the Beloved, and go mad.... SADH SANGAT PITAM: find out the company of someone who is so simple that God has chosen him to be his vehicle. SET NOT THY HEART ON THE WORSHIP OF OTHER GODS... And when you have found a master, then there is no need to worship any other god: you have...
... PEACEFULLY? ANSWER: Never. Peter Gillins UPI Wire Services, USA Q: BHAGWAN, PETER GILLINS FROM THE UNITED PRESS. ON ABC'S MORNING INTERVIEW PROGRAM THE OTHER DAY YOU SAID THAT YOU CONSIDERED YOURSELF TO BE THE GURU OF THE RICH AND YOU WOULD LEAVE IT TO THE OTHER RELIGIONS TO TAKE CARE OF THE POOR. IN LIGHT OF THAT, DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PAY TAXES ON THE MONEY THAT YOUR FOLLOWERS GIVE YOU...
... MONEY MAY BE USED TO HELP THE POOR AND HOMELESS THAT YOU WANTED TO HELP LAST YEAR? A: I have not accepted a single Rolls Royce. Those Rolls Royces are owned by the sannyasins. And remember clearly that I am not a Rajneeshee. You can see from my clothes. I am just a guest here, and if my host feels to take care of me and enjoys it, who am I to interfere in it? Greg Hoy 7 Network Australia TV, Australia...
... SYSTEMS THAT EXIST ON THE PLANET? A: There is every possibility -- not only possibility, but I would say almost certainty of its happening. Even in a communist country, consciousness cannot be prevented from growing, from spreading; love cannot be prevented. In communist countries they can nationalize your house, your money, your other commodities, but they cannot nationalize your being. That is...
... that government, that world can easily see where the problem is. Even a poor country like India, where people are starving, is exporting wheat to other countries. It seems we are living in a madhouse! Indians are dying, starving, and they are exporting wheat. But they have to export, because they want to make nuclear weapons. From where are they going to get nuclear plants? They need money for that...
... somebody. It gives you a definition. It says who you are -- you are a prime minister of a country or a president of a country. Power gives you a definition; it demarks who you are. If you have money, it demarks you. If you don't have money, it demarks you. If you are a musician or a poet or a singer, it shows who you are. The moment you know who you are, you are limited, you are finite -- and you are...
... fulfilled." Now, one monk asked one day, "Since you have said that all desires will be fulfilled if you become desireless, I have got only one desire: to be desireless. Now what to do about it?" But the desire to be desireless is still a desire; it is on the same plane. Whether you desire money or you desire power, prestige, or you desire desirelessness, it makes no difference at all: only...
... the object of desire changes; the desire remains the same. And the desire is the problem, not the object. If you desire money, people will call you very worldly, materialistic. If you desire God, people will call you spiritual, other worldly, religious. But those who know, for them, there is no difference at all: you are still worldly. It is not that a few desires are worldly and a few desires are...
...; yet how can you prove it? I can give you many instances where man's gullibility is exploited. In 1930 a Christian priest announced that the end of the world would occur on the first of January. Some fifty-thousand of his followers sold all they had and spent the money in merrymaking. There was no sense in keeping the money when the world was coming to an end! They spent as much as they could and...
... they get the funds. Who will give the money? One of them asked her, "How much money do you have to start with?" Theresa put her hand in her pocket and produced two paise. "I have this with me: two paise!" she said exultantly. "We can start with this." The people laughed, "We already doubted your sanity. Two paise for such a gigantic project! You need tens of...
.... They gathered some money and went to present it to him. He was lying straight on his back, under the open skies, beneath a tree. One of them came forward and offering the bag of money said: "Nasruddin, we heard you were in difficulty. We have brought some money for you. Please accept it." Nasruddin tells him: "Please come after some time. The fact is, my pocket is under my back. When I...
... turn upside down you may come and put the money in it." Nasruddin's jokes are very subtle hints of man's failings. He was a priceless man. If we go deep into the nature of desirelessness, we shall know that everything is acceptable (in that condition) as it is and how it is. There is not the slightest desire for it to be otherwise. "In the absence of such a desire," Lao Tzu says, "...
... ready to fight; he relaxes. By the age of forty-two he starts becoming a little bit aware.... What is he doing here, earning money, power, prestige? Death is coming. Death knocks at the door for the first time near about forty-two -- that is the age when you have heart attacks and blood pressure and cancer and things like that. That is the first knock. Beware of the age forty- two, it is the most...
... dangerous age. Then you start feeling a little shaky, then you start feeling a little trembling inside, you are no longer as certain as you used to be. You lose confidence. You have lived, you have known money, you have known wife, children, you have known sex and love, you have seen this and that, you have travelled around the world -- but nothing has satisfied you, it feels like something is missing...
... same man again. If your wife comes to me and becomes interested, you will be disturbed. If you come, your wife will become disturbed, because a new interest is arising. And who knows where it will lead you? Fear, jealousy, defense, struggle... egos feel hurt. You have been earning money, you have made a great kingdom, you have made a big empire -- now suddenly at forty-two you start meditating. Now...
... what is happening. There is a limit. You are getting bored. You are at the moment when you will scream and call the police. A boy of twelve went to his father with a little girl of ten, a neighbour's daughter. 'Dad,' he said, 'we want to get married.' 'Yes, son, in ten years.' 'No, Dad, now!' 'What are you going to live on?' 'We can manage on her pocket money and mine.' Said the father (playing along...
..., the world, and the mind is NIRVANA too. It is all a mind-game. And remember, en says it is all a mind-game - with no exception. Even your God is the ultimate mind-game, the meta-game. This is where Zen is very superior to other religions. Other religions say the world is a mind-game, but they don't say MOKSHA is a mind-game. Other religions say the material world, the world of money and power and...
... reality. Those temple bells he had never heard before, he was so full of other things. The sound of money was too much, he was so much concerned with ambition and ego, he was so much concerned to become powerful - the temple was not yet existential. It was a faraway distant phenomenon - maybe it was there, maybe it was not there, but it didn't matter at all. Now suddenly money does not matter, power...
... does not matter. He is no more moving towards power, prestige. Suddenly the temple stands there, out of all proportion. The movie-house disappears, the woman disappears, the money disappears, the friends, the club - they all disappear. Suddenly the temple is there, very real. Death has become part of his belief-system, and his-reality has changed. Now, Zen says, this is how we go on changing from one...
... about a company "Homebreakers Limited". I have seen an advertisement, I will read it to you: Dear Friend: This chain was started in the hope of bringing happiness to all tired businessmen. Unlike most chains, it does not require money. Simply send a copy of this to five male friends, then bundle up your wife and send her to the fellow whose name heads the list. When your name reaches the top...
.... If you make Buddha the president of India, that won't help. That will not increase him, that will decrease him. Buddha won't be a Buddha then, he will be a very ordinary man. A religious man has come to see his own infinite treasure, so he does not long for any power trip. It may be the money trip or the power trip or the prestige trip, but they are all politics. There are only two directions in...
... the dictator and they have to follow your orders, they have to be obedient to you. Or you may be a politician in your office: you are the boss and everyone has to be a slave. Or you may be thinking of gathering much money so you come to the top through money, but the idea is the same. Or, you may even be renouncing the world just to think that you come at the top of all the mahatmas - you become the...
... your awareness is your real being. By efficiency and mechanicalness, you may succeed in earning more money, more power, more prestige, more respectability, but you will lose yourself. And you are losing yourself very cheaply; what you are gaining in return is worthless. Do you know how many people have lived before you on this earth? Do you realize the fact that millions of them were successful...
... understood the stupidity of it all; it is better to be silent. The husband simply goes on reading the same newspaper. On Sunday it is a little difficult; they avoid each other, they don't want to be left alone together. One of my friends -- a very rich man -- asked me when he became fifty, "I have enough money. I had only two girls, who are married. And it is very difficult... because only my wife and...
... have just to wait -- and there are things which you have to do; only then will they happen. And slowly slowly, the things that happen by doing became more important: they are your material possessions, your money, your power, your prestige, your palaces, your empires. They won't happen just by waiting. By waiting, you will not become Alexander the Great. So because things which happen only by doing...
... you.' So I asked where I had to go for the miracle and he sent me to you. And he said, `Whatever happens, you go on holding his feet unless he gives you a glass of water -- just that water will be the cure." Dr. Barat was my friend. He had told me that he was going to send this young man. He said, "He is a hypochondriac. He has no stomachache, nothing -- just he is rich, too much money and...
... full of colored water in bottles; I make a mixture from these bottles and give it to him. He says, `Yes, a little relief but the pain remains.' And if it disappears from one place, it starts appearing in another place. I am tired. And because of him, I am losing many patients. So you have to save me from this rich young man. His father has died and he has a big inheritance, enough money to throw away...
... homeopathy fails, try naturopathy. And by that time you will be dead, don't be worried. Whether the disease goes or not, you will be gone!" He said, "But I want to live! I am too young to die right now." And he was not more than twenty-six. He said, "I am not even married. Because my father died, I have enough money -- many people are after me. They want me to marry their daughters, and...
