... something else - money, power, prestige, respectability. Find something else. What will you do with truth?" I said, "You are right; truth has no utility. It will not make you more respectable; on the contrary, your truth may take you to the cross. It may make you more condemned. Wherever you are, people will avoid you: 'This man has truth, avoid!'" Truth is a very contagious disease. People...
... have their lies, comfortable lies, and when they come to encounter a man of truth all their lies start falling down. And those lies are their whole life, their earning, their success, their money, their power. The man of truth is avoided, and if he is stubborn then he has to suffer the fate of Socrates: the society poisoned him - or he has to suffer the fate of Jesus: the society crucified him. In...
... years... It disturbs nobody; it is so far away from everybody - even to reach there is a difficult task. They live on the very roof of the world. The highest mountains, eternal snows, are their home. Leave them alone! China will not lose anything, but the whole world will be benefited by their experience. And the world will need their experience. The world is getting fed up with money, power, prestige...
... at the first fence and I lost all my money. What is going on?" "I am sorry, rabbi," said the priest, "but I can't help it if you don't know the difference between a blessing and the last rites." There is so much misunderstanding. You don't know what is real, what is unreal. You don't know what has been imposed on you by others and what you have brought from existence itself...
... what basis have you got, that after death you get these things? Has anybody returned and told? In India there is a place, Surat, and in that area is a Mohammedan sect.

... a Bohara friend's house. His father had died just a few days before, and they had donated a lot of money. They were really rich people and he said that this type of certificate had been given. I said, "Do one thing: take me to your father's grave tonight, and we will see whether the certificate is still there or not." He said, "But what is the point of it?" I said, "I will...
... everyone - What are you doing? Somebody is running a business, somebody is accumulating money, somebody is becoming more powerful in politics. But do you understand that you are moving towards death? Each moment death is coming closer and closer. And have you gathered anything that you will be able to take with you when you die? Except meditation, you cannot take any of your possessions with you. All...
.... Millicent Money-Butt is an extremely rich and an extremely frustrated woman. She is especially irritable today because it has been weeks since her husband or her chauffeur or her stable boy or anybody has made love to her. Deciding that she needs to move her energy, she calls her butler, James, upstairs to draw her a hot bath. James knocks quietly and then enters her room. Millie turns to him slowly, and...
... India is a burden. Soon they will have to arrange a marriage. And marriage is so ugly in this country - the father of the boy who is going to be married to this girl will ask for money. If the boy is a doctor he will ask for all the money that he has spent on his education. And every parent of any girl wants their girl to be in a well-to-do family. People sell their houses, their lands, just for their...
... the country. Otherwise you will have to return all the loans that we have given you in the past, and all the loans - billions of dollars - which we were going to give you in the coming two years will not be given. So you can choose." Now, Uruguay cannot manage to return the money and cannot afford not to take billions of dollars in the coming two years, because her whole planning is based on...
... need more pity and more compassion. Now, here it is going to happen, everywhere it is going to happen.... We have had this property since the money, but the property belongs still to the original owners. The municipal corporation goes on asking for taxes from us, and we are paying those taxes. Because I had gone to America for five years, one structure was demolished by our people - because it was of...
... enlightenment, he just remained absolutely ordinary, with no ego, with no desire, with no greed. Just before I came back to Poona, Maitreya told me in Bombay, "I have got ten thousand rupees in a post office deposit in Patna, Bihar; that's all I have, but now I will not need it." Certainly he was becoming aware that his time of departure was coming closer. And he transferred the money to Neelam for...
... book by Friedrich Nietzsche. It was published after his death because even Nietzsche himself could not imagine how he would face the world when the book was published. It will be criticized, because will to power means a continuous struggle, violence -- for money, for power, for position. Life becomes a war field, no more a rejoicing. It is simply competition -- and a very terrific competition...
... OSHO, WHAT IS MEANT BY A SPIRITUAL EGO? IS SPIRITUAL GREED ONE OF ITS SYMPTOMS? IS IT CURABLE? Anand Tarangini, the spiritual ego is not something different from the ordinary ego. Somebody feels his ego because he has money, somebody feels his ego strengthened because he has political power. Somebody feels ego because he has great respectability. But the ego is the same. Somebody feels that he is...
... -- material or spiritual -- is simply greed. Greed means you want more and more and more; there never comes a time when this continuous hankering for more, stops. So whether you are in search of more spirituality or more money or more power, it does not matter. But in fact, about spirituality, you should understand that the same contradiction again arises: you become spiritual only when this desire for more...
... concern. Q: THERE IS A PERCEPTION THAT YOU AND YOUR RELIGIOUS FOLLOWING ARE EXTREMELY WEALTHY. IF IT'S TRUE, WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM? A: My people are rich. In fact, only the very rich, educated, intelligent, cultured can understand what I am saying. Beggars cannot come to me. Poor people cannot come to me. The gap is too big. They can hear me but they cannot understand me. So it is natural: I am...
... only for one hour. But if my people want it, if they are happy and rejoice doing it, I don't want to destroy their joy. It is perfectly okay. Q: COULDN'T YOU TELL THEM TO GIVE THEIR MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE, OTHER THAN FOR ROLLS ROYCES? A: All other religions are doing that. Let them do that as their work. Let me do my work. All other religions are looking after the poor. At least leave me alone to...
... him and he said, "Who cares about passing? I enjoy being among the students. I have money, I have time, I have a car. I can get the most beautiful girl any time. I don't come here to learn geography and history and psychology. I am not concerned, I am not interested. What can they give me? If I pass and I have a degree, that cannot make me richer. I am already too rich." Geniuses have...
... man?" The boy said, "He is giving me two dollars for not hitting him. Now if you want, the price has gone up. If you give me three dollars I will keep him awake." The priest said, "I cannot compete with your old man. He is so rich he can give you any amount of money. I am a poor priest. Three dollars per sermon, I will go bankrupt." These people who go to the churches are no...
