... to be achieved, nothing worth achieving. When you are in such a state of mind, mind relaxes - no future, no desire, no goal, nowhere to go, so what to do? He simply sat, he became just like the tree. The whole night he slept, and later on Buddha said that for the first time he really slept that night - because when effort is there it continues in sleep also. A person who is earning money and who is...
... after money goes on counting even in his dreams, a person who is after power and prestige and politics goes on fighting elections in his dreams. You all know that when you are sitting for an examination in the university or college, in sleep also you go on doing the examination; again and again you are in the examination hall answering questions. So whatsoever effort is there it continues in sleep...
... children are laughing. And I am afraid that they are such idiots that they may start doing it themselves. When they see that this is such a good way to harass me they will do it, and I will have to bribe them with money. I am a poor man. You please stop it." I said, "It is very difficult, because it is a national movement." He said, "National movement? But why in my house, why just in...
... front of me?" I said, "That I don't know, but it is a national movement. If you want to stop it, you do one thing: to whoever shows you the finger, you also show the finger." He said, "That is right. But who is going to earn money? Who is going to do my business?" I said, "That I don't know. I don't have any business, I am just sitting here. And just sitting... I thought...
... DONE, STILL REPEAT THE PAST AS IF I HAVE NO CHOICE. WHAT TO DO? CAN CHANGE BE PERMANENT? OR IS THE WORK WE DO ON OURSELVES SIMPLY ILLUSION, SIGNIFYING NOTHING? CAN SANNYAS BE PERMANENT CHANGE? First: all efforts to improve yourself are bound to fail, because the one who is making the effort is the problem - the ego. The ego is constantly making efforts to improve: have more money, have a bigger house...
... about, that revolution comes through understanding the ways of the ego. Once you have understood that it is the same ego that was after money, after power, prestige, politics - the same ego is now playing inner games of meditation, enlightenment, and all that nonsense - once you recognize it is the same ego, in that very recognition, a laughter arises in you. You start feeling the ridiculousness of it...
.... You cannot conceive of Buddha's going into a temple and beating moneylenders. But Jesus did it. There were many different activities connected with the great temple of Jerusalem. There was a great moneylending business which exploited the whole country. People would come for an annual gathering and for other gatherings during the year, and obtain money at the temple at a high rate of interest. Then...
... it would be impossible to repay and they would lose everything. The temple was becoming richer and richer: it was religious imperialism. The whole country was poor and suffering, but so much money would be automatically coming into the temple. Then Jesus entered one day with a whip in his hand. He overturned the moneylenders' boards and began to beat the moneylenders. He created chaos in the temple...
... are born again you will not be able to enter into my kingdom of God. And he is absolutely right. You need a new birth; you have to be twice-born. And to be with a master is a rebirth. It is initiation into the inner world. Sixty years you have wasted on the outside, accumulating money, accumulating this and that, trying to be respectable, famous, powerful. Now get out of all those stupid games - no...
... offers - or at least promises to offer. You have known it, and it is only by knowing it that one becomes aware of the deceptiveness of it all. You have seen the illusion - now turn in. Now become a sannyasin! You have been a worldly man up to now. And by a worldly man I simply mean one who is absolutely unaware of himself and is concerned about trivia - money, power, prestige. And I call the person a...
...;Maybe he will ask for much money - that can be given easily - or for some other favor which can be given easily." The king had been waiting a long time for this man. But the condition was very eccentric. The condition was: "While I am playing nobody should move his head. If anybody moves his head, his head has to be cut off. So the audience has to be informed beforehand that people should...
... are writing every day, "Have you forgotten us?" Norwegians, Swedish, Swiss, they are all writing letters, "Beloved Master, when is our turn coming?" When their father died, three brothers inherited one duck each. They decided to sell their ducks and see who could get the most money. The first brother sold his for five dollars. The second sold his for ten dollars. The third...
..., because reason is a mathematical thing. If a dog has behaved in a certain way you can predict he will go on behaving this way. You cannot predict man. And, moreover, he is not rational, because his whole working of the mind is unconscious. He falls in love, he fights, he goes to war, he goes on accumulating money, he goes on being worried without any rationality in it. He is the most mad animal. Only...
... unconscious thing in you, and the sahasrar is the most conscious. These are the two poles. We live around the sex center, move around it. Whatsoever we do is related with sex, howsoever distant it may look. Your earning money, your accumulating wealth, may not look at all related with sex, but they are related. The more wealth you have, the more sex you can have; it becomes more possible. The more power you...
... governments do this business, but they never give the money. On the contrary, you perform, and then they give you a shot, so that all evidence is removed. Instead of half a million dollars, you receive death as a reward. That is a well-known fact all around the world. Government agencies go on killing people, and they always kill the killer. In that way money is saved, and also the evidence is removed...
... possible bride. The client was reluctant to pursue the matter because he didn't possess, in his opinion enough money for such-an attractive girl. "Oh, you needn't worry about that," assured the matchmaker. "You"ll never have to support any of her family - the girl is an orphan." The meeting was arranged. Several weeks later the man complained to the matchmaker. "You lied to...
.... Their only complaint is that they can't get many of the jokes, but still they laugh just to be polite! After years of working hard and saving, a New York couple finally had accumulated enough money to take a trip to Israel. They toured the entire country and spent time in the big cities as well. One evening in Tel Aviv they decided to see what the Israeli night life was like. So they went to a night...
... Mediterranean journey Jesus had received sufficient money to meet his living expenses almost up to the time of the beginning of his public ministry. But aside from Zebedee of Capernaum and the people whom he met on this extraordinary trip, the world never knew that he made this journey. His family always believed that he spent this time in study at Alexandria. Jesus never confirmed these beliefs, neither did...
...-determination will be ended. With global regulation of money and trade will come the new era of world-wide peace. Soon may a global language evolve, and there will be at least some hope of sometime having a global religion — or religions with a global viewpoint. (1491.6) 134:6.12 Collective security will never afford peace until the collectivity includes all mankind. (1491.7) 134:6.13 The political...
