..., but this is how logic works, this is the conclusion it will reach. Logic will never say that it is because you are closing the fist that the air escapes - if you don't make a fist, the air will still be there. But our intellect will say, "How can there be anything without something to hold it?" Money stays if it is held in a safe, if it is held in a closed fist. But on an open palm, money...
... will not stay for a moment. Even the closed fist is no guarantee of its security, what to say about the open hand! Leave the key to the safe lying around for a single day and the money is gone.

There, if you open the hand, keep it loose, the...
... for the last five years of her life. When she died, she left me all her money. Now I have got to prove that she was of sound mind when she made her will six weeks ago.' That's what happens. First you deny a wise man - that he is wise. You deny that he is enlightened, you deny that he is good. Then when he dies he leaves his whole legacy for you, he leaves all his money in your name. He becomes your...
... hankering for, and they are bored to death, because they have no future. And when there is no future there is no meaning. You have a beautiful car, you have a beautiful house, you have a beautiful job - so what? The question arises 'so what?' But where are you going? In a rut, moving in the same wheel again and again and again. The same morning, the same evening, the same work, the same money pouring in...
... a sinner. Then it is a sort of prostitution. The woman goes on living with you because she has nowhere to go. She goes on living with you now because financially she is dependent on you. But then what is prostitution? It is a financial arrangement. Now there is no more love. If you go to a prostitute and she falls in love with you and refuses to take money, she is no longer a prostitute...
.... Prostitution comes only with the money. When instead of love money bridges two persons, it is prostitution. If you live with a woman with no love and the woman lives with you with no love, only a financial arrangement -- now it will be difficult, where to go, what to do, it seems too insecure so you have to cling and be angry and nag and continuously fight but be together, it is your duty to be together...
... will attain god from prayer? - then you have bought him. What happened to his grace? And if something is received through a cause, when the cause disappears it will also disappear. That which is attained through a cause will be lost when the cause is destroyed. You have accumulated wealth, you worked hard, you competed well in the market and you earned money. But do you think this earned money will...
...... Remember there are two kinds of people in the world, the world can be divided into two types. One type is those who are never satisfied with outside things: we have this house, we need another one; we have this much money, more is needed; this woman is with me, another kind of woman is needed. He is never satisfied with outer things, but he has no dissatisfaction with the inner. One who has no inner...
..., "This is strange. With half my head shaved I will look like a fool!" I said, "But he has not taken any money from you. You can go to another barbershop and you can save half the money." He said, "You are his partner or what?" I said, "We are just friends. And unless you go, he will not come. So the faster you go, the better." He had to go to another barbershop...
..., "If the word kanyadan, donation of the daughter, is being used, I will never come back to this family again. Then you can think I am dead." He said, "But this is strange. That word has been used for centuries." I said, "I don't care about the centuries, I care about the meaning of the word. You can donate things, you can donate money - you cannot donate people! And I will not...
... what your were: if you were a thief you will become a good man, if you were amassing wealth you will start giving to charity, but the you within will remain the same. For you the value of money will not change. Money had a certain value for you when you were a thief, and it will remain the same when you become a philanthropist. You certainly don't regard it is dust, for who makes a gift of dust? If...
... gates of heaven! The guard consulted with his associate as to what should be done with this man. His colleague said, "Give him his three paisa and tell him to go to hell!" Can the doors of heaven be opened by money? Whether you hold on to wealth or whether you let it go, its holds the same value in your eyes. Whether you live in the world or run away from it, its hold on you is complete. It...
... will leave everything if need be, but not a jewel. If the need arises and you have money and a ruby in your pocket, you will part with the money, but not give up the ruby, because it has the most value. Remembrance is the precious jewel; let anything else in life drop away, because you know it is not worth a penny. WERE YOU TO LIVE THROUGH FOUR AGES, OR EVEN TEN TIMES MORE, WERE YOU KNOWN ON ALL NINE...
... money, taken so many pains, gone through so much difficulty. Can you let so many years' toil go in vain? And who knows? It might not fall! Perhaps the expert is wrong. Besides, right now it is standing. Who can be sure it will fall?" Such is your case too, like a man who has lost his way and has been told that he left the road far behind. In reading the memoirs of a poet, I particularly liked one...
... simply refused. He would have said, "No!" If you take money to Vinoba Bhave he closes his eyes, and deep down you say, "Now, this is a saint!" But if you bring the money to me I will take the money and I will not even thank you! Then you will be very much shocked: "What kind of man is this?" I was moving in the Impala and people started writing to me: "You should not...
... going to last long. When joy is without any reason, it is going to be there forever. There are two ways a man can be. A man can either move towards having more things - then he goes against Buddha, against Tao, against Zen. The man who is too much concerned with having more is the worldly man. And the man who says whatsoever is, is good; who relaxes; who is not worried about having more money, more...
.... Mind is the technique to go out. That's why you are trained in your universities and colleges and schools for mind. Mind is the technique to go out, to have many more things - to have bigger houses, to have much property, to have political power, to have money. Mind is the way to go out and conquer the world. Meditation is just the reverse process. It is nothing but no-mind. That is what Zen is. You...
... desire. A car passes by, and let there be a desire in you that "I would like to have this car." And then you will see many thoughts coming: "How to possess it? How to arrange for the money? What to do? - to do business? or to steal, or what? Or go the American way: just take it on installments?" One then needs thoughts, because without thinking you will never have this car. Watch...
...,' So now we will desire desirelessness. How to attain desirelessness.?" Now they are ready to go on another journey of desire. Just the OBJECT of desire has changed. first they were thinking how to have more money, how to have more power, how to go to New Delhi, Washington, London, Moscow; now, their goal has changed - how to attain NIRVANA, MOKSHA, God, desirelessness. But the object is there...
... things in a wrong order. Sex disappears because Buddha has come to his inner source, not the other way round. Not that he has dropped sex and that's why he has become a Buddha. He has become a Buddha, hence sex has disappeared. But from the outside people watched Buddha and they saw sex had disappeared - so drop sex if you want to become a Buddha. Buddha is not interested in money, so they thought...
..., "Become disinterested in money if you want to become a Buddha." But these are all wrong approaches! This is not looking for the cause, but misunderstanding the effect as the cause.
