... brothers and formally entered upon his work as a builder. Before the year was over, the family income had more than trebled. Never again, until after Joseph’s death, did the Nazareth family feel the pinch of poverty.

... father said, "One who gives will repay it. Why should we worry about it?" Kamal could not understand what his father meant. He was a worldly man. He said, "This answer won't do; it's not a spiritual matter. Those who lend us money ask for repayment, and if we fail to repay them we will prove to be dishonest." To this Kabir simply said, "Then prove to be so. What is wrong with...
...; otherwise you will needlessly disturb the sleep of the entire family." Somehow Kamal drilled a hole in the wall, still hoping his father would call it quits. Then he said, "Now let's enter the house." And Kabir readily joined him and went inside the house.

Attachment is illusion, not the world; not the woman but the attachment, not the money but the attachment, not the body but the attachment. Sekito is making a tremendously significant statement.

... power -- power blinds the eyes. It is very difficult to see that you are ignorant when you have money, respect, power. When others think that you know, it is very difficult. Shiko's fear was relevant. "May I be so bold, Sir, as to ask whether you understood?" The emperor shook his head sadly... but the Emperor must have been a humble person -- maybe blind, but still humble; may not have seen...
... is not the point. When you are alone you will not feel anger because anger is a relationship, it needs somebody to be angry towards. Unless you are mad you will not feel anger when you are alone; it will be inside but it will not find any way to come out. When the other is there, not to be angry THEN is the point.
