If silence cannot make a master out of a fool, then what can make one a master? Awareness. And the miracle is, if you become aware, silence follows you like a shadow. But then that silence is not practiced; it comes on its own...
... master by the Buddha. SILENCE CANNOT MAKE A MASTER OUT OF A FOOL. On his honeymoon, Abe was so overtaken with gratitude towards Becky, that he wanted to give her something. Having nothing else at hand, he reached into his wallet and gave her twenty dollars. Thereafter it became a family ritual. Each time Abe would make love to Becky, he would give her some money, the amount varying according to how his...
... dollars. "All the money you gave me, I put in the bed," she said. "Ah," he screamed hitting his forehead, "I should have given you all my business." An unconscious man can't always be on his guard. There are moments when the secret comes out. You can deceive, but only for a time - you cannot deceive forever, at least not your wife. And how can you deceive God himself? How...
... fire in them. Jesus is fire. He could drive away the money-changers from the temple almost violently, with a whip in his hand. He turned their boards upside down and single-handed he drove them out of the temple. You cannot conceive such an act from Buddha. Jesus is pure rebellion; Buddha is just silence. It is said the first thing that Zarathustra did in his life was to laugh the moment he was born...
... interested just in accumulating junk, and the whole economy depends on that. All your advertising agencies are just bringing to your mind the idea of collecting more and more junk. The new man will have a totally different vision of life. He will live in a more loving way, because to him love is richness. He will know that money cannot buy love or joy. He will know that money is utilitarian; it is not the...
..., millionaires, they accumulate money and power and prestige and this and that, and they play GREAT games. And because of their games millions of people are not allowed even a glimpse of life. Millions are sacrificed because of their games. If you are stuck in the second - become alert. Remember always there are two possibilities at every level. The first layer is a lubricant for a man who understand it...
... it hurts; then the woman feels as if you are only going to use her No, a little lubrication is necessary. You go to your father and you simply ask for money - not even saying a good morning; then it seems that your only relationship is through the money. Things become hard, things are already hard, why make them harder? So I am not saying that you drop all formalities - they are beautiful as far as...
... separated so they can start their lives anew - and for the first time without worries. They have their pensions, money is no longer a problem; they can find new partners, new lovers. And it has been psychologically established that if even an old man falls in love with a woman, his life is lengthened at least by ten years - because love gives juice to your roots, you again become young, you again start...
..., gloomy. They will bring flowers, they will start gardening, may go for a world tour, may go for a long trip in a boat. Life can be joy. They can meditate, they can study. Much that they always wanted to do and had no time to do... now they have time, they have money. They can paint, they can sculpt. My own idea is that special classes should be opened in every university for these old people who want...
... nose. He will find something else, this is just an excuse. Right now he may become accustomed to this nose, but if you fix it then every time he sees you he will see that this woman has a fixed nose, she is really a Jew behind the nose. It will be very difficult for him to forget this. And the money is going from his pocket to fix your nose. You just leave it as it is." In fact, for centuries a...
...;This is a great catch, this man can bring us great money. We have sold many slaves, but not so strong, beautiful, young. We can have as high a price as we demand; and there is going to be a great competition in the marketplace when we put this man on the pedestal for sale. But," they thought, "four are not enough to catch him. He alone could kill us all." Diogenes was hearing what they...
... they followed him. And when he was put on a high pedestal so that everybody could see, there was almost silence, pindrop silence. People had never seen such a proportionate body, so beautiful - as if made of steel, so strong. Before the auctioneer said anything, Diogenes declared, "Listen, people! Here is a master to be sold to any slave, because these four poor people need money. So start the...
... auction; but remember, you are purchasing a master." A king purchased him. Of course, he could do it - more and more money he offered at the auction. Many people were interested, but finally a sum, larger than any which had ever been heard of, was given to those four people. Diogenes said to them, "Are you happy now? You can go, and I will go with this slave." On the way, when they were...
... person who wants something else in the name of God is more dishonest than the person who is openly seeking worldly pleasures. At least there there is honesty, an authenticity. One person says, "I want money," another says, "I want sexual pleasures," still another says, "I want position, I want ego fulfillment," and there is one who says, "I want God," but in this...
... another, and children see yet another. What makes the differences? The world is the same. But the children do not have the same eyes that the young man has. Children are still interested in collecting stones and pebbles. Just the colorfulness of things is enough. The young man says, "Throw them away! What is in them? What value do they have?" For a young man money has become valuable. He has...
... started understanding the value of money. Now collecting stones and pebbles won't do. Now it is no use running after butterflies. Children are catching butterflies, they look heavenly to them. The young man takes children to be ignorant but when the man becomes old, his senses get tired, his experiences turn pungent and bitter and he feels as if his mouth is full of a kind of tastelessness. Now even...
... symbolic sayings. EVERYTHING we had known while sex-energy was running downwards is affected by it. When the sex-energy rushes up, a TOTALLY different world is revealed. Then you don't see this world because your eyes are no more the same. You are in a new dimension, just diametrically opposite to the old. But ordinarily our whole concept of life is centered on sex. Whatsoever we do: we earn money, we...
... earn money for sex; we try to earn fame, but we earn fame for sex. Even sometimes very innocent activities which you cannot connect with sex are connected with sex if the person is still infatuated with lust. It is difficult to see how a person who is running after fame is running after sex. Ask the psychologists. They say women are more attracted by fame than by anything else. They are not so...
... attracted by the face, handsomeness, as they are attracted by achievement. An achiever, one who has much money, power, prestige, is more attractive to women than anybody else,. because a woman is constantly in search of somebody to lean upon. You may be beautiful, but if you have no power you cannot give any guarantee and security to the woman. If you are powerful, maybe you are not beautiful, you are not...
... interested in some other woman, his conscience pricks. Just to erase it he comes with sweets, ice cream, flowers, new clothes, for the wife, chocolates for the children. But any intelligent woman can say, "You never come with these things. Suddenly today - and it is not Christmas time, it is not the Hindu festival of Diwali - what special reason is there that you wasted your money? It is not even the...
... date when you get your salary; you must have brought all these things by borrowing money from someone, because it is the end of the month, so don't try to deceive me!" So it depends on each woman, each man, what the outcome will be. But one thing is certain; nobody wants to be alone. And to be alone is the greatest gift of existence. This is the poverty of man and his consciousness, that he is...
... into the courts, and to fight the cases." Why harass advocates and waste money unnecessarily? I can fight far better myself. I am going to fight to the very last breath of my life, because I still believe in this vast oceanic crowd of humanity; there must be a few people who will be benefited - and I have nothing to lose. Particularly for the people who have gathered around me... for them I have...
... nobody would be disturbed. The closest town to us was twenty miles away. We were an island in ourselves. Nobody was being disturbed by us. Still, the whole American government was immensely disturbed for no reason. Just because people were coming there... it became a world capital. It became more important than Washington. Washington has all the powers and all the money - they could not tolerate that...
... a hundred years for people to understand his paintings. Now he has become one of the greatest painters, but while he was alive he lived starving, giving away his paintings - which now cost millions of dollars - just for a cup of tea! Somebody asked him, "You don't sell your paintings, your brother sends you enough money to keep you alive, but you eat only four days in a week and three days...
... you fast to save money to purchase colors, canvasses, brushes, painting materials" - perhaps never has anybody done his painting with his own blood, but this man did - "what joy can you get out of it?" Van Gogh said, "You cannot understand. While I am painting, I am not. The painter disappears. There is only the process of painting, and the joy is immense." Abhinava Gupta is...
... uncured for her whole life. And how do you think I was supporting you in the university? That woman has provided money for your education, and that woman was going to provide money for your younger brother. That woman was almost a goldmine." The son was shocked. He said, "What are you saying?" The father said, "You are young, you don't understand. This profession is a contradiction...
... professionals in the world. They cannot afford to lose rich patients -- and they have only rich patients. Poor countries don't suffer from any diseases which psychoanalysis can help. When people are hungry, what can psychoanalysis do? Psychoanalysis comes only when people are so rich they don't know what to do with their money.
