...: My father's family belonged to the property owners in Upper Galilee. Why then were they ruined? Because they used to pasture their flocks in forests, and to try money cases without a colleague.6 The forests were very near to their estates, but there was also a little field near by [belonging to others], and the cattle were led by way of this. Our Rabbis taught: If a shepherd7 desires to...
... ADORNMENT FOR APHRODITE; BUT HE SAYS, APHRODITE WAS MADE AS AN ADORNMENT FOR THE BATH. ANOTHER REASON IS, IF YOU WERE GIVEN A LARGE SUM OF MONEY, YOU WOULD NOT ENTER THE PRESENCE OF A STATUE REVERENCED BY YOU WHILE YOU WERE NUDE OR HAD EXPERIENCED SEMINAL EMISSION, NOR WOULD YOU URINATE BEFORE IT. BUT THIS [STATUE OF APHRODITE] STANDS BY A SEWER AND ALL PEOPLE URINATE BEFORE IT. [IN THE TORAH] IT IS ONLY...
... be the same again. The old values - the old life, the competition, the market the money, the power, the prestige, the politics - all seem meaningless. Once you have tasted a little of death, then you know that all this is futile; it has no intrinsic value. One starts seeking for meaning for the first time. So go immediately, mm? For a few days he will be very vulnerable. If you catch hold of him...
.... Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. [A sannyasin said she was uncertain whether she should be in a relationship or not and whether the man she was with was the right one for her.] Ordinarily a relationship always disturbs. Unless you are capable of remaining alone, a relationship always disturbs. It is almost like a banker. If you have money, the banker will give it to you. If you don't have it, they...
... to excess is foolish and that one has to learn a balance - this is the art of living.... ] I have heard about one sufi mystic, Byazid. He came back home one day and he was very hungry, so he asked for food. The friend and disciple who was looking after him said, 'There is nothing in the house, and I have no money sol couldn't purchase anything.' Byazid said nothing. He simply sat there, prayed to...
... one cannot understand how one could have believed in money so much, in power politics so much, in name and fame so much. How could one have believed in the body so much knowing that death is happening every day, all around? How one went on living as if one was not going to die at all! But right now when you are metaphysically asleep all these things seem to be very real. Somebody insults you and it...
... ego needs the marketplace. The ego can exist only in relationship; the ego cannot exist without relationship. Just as a bridge needs two banks to exist... It cannot exist only with one bank, if there is only one bank the bridge will fall. And that is the beauty of being alone: when you are tremendously alone, all the bridges that connect you - with money, power, people, prestige - start evaporating...
.... One has to die, and that's the only way to life abundant. People are in discontent, but their discontent is about things - prestige, power, money, et cetera. The same discontent has to be turned and focussed on god. Once all the discontent of life is focussed on god, it creates tremendous energy... energy that can transform you just by its sheer presence. You can ride on the wave of it. People are...
... leave. He says he wants to make money while away and to stay here longer next time.... ] Things are going perfectly well and because things are going perfectly well there is this trouble. When somebody is really becoming very close to me it becomes difficult to go, very difficult, so your feeling is right that you have to create a kind of distance, otherwise how will you be able to go? There are only...
.... Only then is one victorious. Not by having much money is one victorious, no. Not by having political power is one victorious, no. One is victorious only when one feels deep down in one's heart a great welling up of joy... when one's whole life is a song, when one's every moment is serene, calm, quiet, when each movement has tremendous grace. And this is possible. I am not talking about the impossible...
