... play with it but don't become attached to it, otherwise you will suffer. And that's why people are suffering: they become attached to soap bubbles. They have given different names to the soap bubbles. Somebody calls it love, somebody calls it money, somebody calls it power, somebody calls it life, prestige, and so on, so forth - but they are all soap bubbles. Any moment, they will be gone, and you...
... came across a very beautiful story: Samuel Pinsky was on a camping expedition when he got stranded in a small town. Hungry and without money, he tried everywhere to get something to eat, but always he was met with the hostility which provincials generally show Jews. At last he had the good fortune to come across a small circus, the owner of which was of his own race. Sammy immediately applied for a...
... SO, OSHO? I will tell you one story: A man was arraigned before an Arkansas justice on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The judge looked at him thoughtfully. "Your name is Jim Moore?" "Yes, sir." "You are charged with a crime that merits a long term in the penitentiary?" "Yes, sir." "You are guilty of that crime?" The man squared...
... his shoulders doggedly. "I am." "You ask me for mercy?" "No, sir." The judge smiled grimly. "You have had a great deal of trouble within the last two years?" "I have." "You have often wished you were dead?" "I have, please Your Honor." "You wanted to steal enough money to take you far away from Arkansas?" "You are...
... so poor he could not manage to purchase canvases, colors, brushes to paint. He was given enough money from his brother so that he could live, exactly enough so that he could live, not a single pai more. And what was he doing for years? - for four days of the week he would eat and three days he would fast and save money to paint. He went mad. He could not paint all that was clamoring, boiling in his...
... misunderstand it. You don't have any experience of the beyond; communication is not possible." And you can see how difficult it is to communicate. I say one thing, you will understand another. People will understand according to their level of understanding. A playboy who had squandered a fortune was asked what he had done with all his money. He answered, "Some went for liquor and fast automobiles...
... darkness of existence. This is a task to be done, this is a way of growth. To be here on the earth simply means that God has given an opportunity to you to grow. This earth is a challenge. Accept the challenge, encounter life: don't escape. A few people escape in words, a few people escape into monasteries, a few people escape into politics, a few people escape into money - these are all escapes. A few...
... brings more and more discontent, because the mind exists only in the desire for more. The mind is nothing but another name for the desire of getting more and more and more. It is a constant hankering for more. If you have money, it desires MORE money; if you have power, it desires more power; if you have knowledge, it desires more knowledge. It is the same process, objects differ but the process...
.... One who is searching for money knows only the language of money, and one who is searching for peace has a different kind of language. There are many languages in the world; they depend on your desires. The man who has started searching for God, truth, is mad in the eyes of the so-called worldly-wise. The mystics have always been thought to be mad. You tolerate them at the most. And if they are very...
... power. You are so spiritually high. Your SIDDHIS are released. You can have all the money and all the prestige that you want. Why bother about God and religion? Use this possibility!' Mind is tempting. And when Jesus says, 'Don't come in my way. Go away!' he is not talking to some Devil outside. He is simply saying to the mind, 'Please don't come in my way. I am no longer concerned with the desires...
..., to be of the world. It was better to have many more things: to enjoy power, to enjoy sex, to enjoy money. What have I done? I have lost all and this is the result! To every seeker this moment comes. And if this doubt arises, then naturally one starts defending oneself against the darkness. One creates an armour around oneself against the darkness, the invading darkness. One has to protect oneself...
... success to deceive himself. You can have money, you can have a name, you can have prestige, but if you are not, what does it matter? You can have the whole world but if you are not, what does it matter? In fact, man tries to possess things because he does not possess himself. This is a strategy to hide the fact that he does not possess himself. This is a strategy to hide the fact that he does not...
... analysed person is a new dream. Man likes to dream, man likes to invent new ideas to hope for. Sometimes it is moksha, nirvana; sometimes it is money, power, prestige; sometimes it can become the completely analysed person. I have many psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and other kinds of therapists here. The greatest number of any profession that has come to me is from therapy. There is a reason for it...
... very moment you start disappearing, you start melting. People like Sri Aurobindo will give you a new kind of ego, a spiritual kind. You start striving for supra- mental states, supra-conscious states, and you are again in the same rut. The race has started again. First it was for money, power, prestige; now it is for supra-mental states. And ALL that comes as a shadow to it will be there. Then there...
..., not a follower. But you are so miserly. Not only in giving: even in taking you are so miserly. To hide that miserliness you philosophize in so many ways - these are strategies. You are afraid to relax. So first you were tense for money, for a better house, for a better job, for a more beautiful woman. Now you are tense for evolution - how to become enlightened, how to become a Buddha? You need a...
... Jainas became business people, and their whole repressed violence became their ambition, their greed. Hence the Jainas' is a small community in India, a very small community, but it manages and controls the majority of the wealth of the country. It is the richest community. The whole violence became directed towards one thing - money. You can hurt people by being rich without hurting them in any...
... deeper into meditation is living in a foolish way. Wiznicki and Polacek went to a used car lot to buy a car. They didn't have enough money to buy one but the salesman sold them a camel. "Does this thing work?" asked Wiznicki. "Of course," said the salesman. "This camel stops at red lights and goes on green." Wiznicki and Polacek left on the back of the camel but in twenty...
