Everybody is trying to conquer the world in his own way, big or small, through money...
..., power, prestige. And everybody is carrying a deep desire, a great longing to succeed one day in becoming the most famous man in the world, the most powerful man in the world.

It is not a question that you have to give money or you have to give this and that; whatever you can, whatever you have - - if you have a song, sing the song, share it. If you can dance, dance and share it. GIVE WHATEVER YOU CAN. And, NEVER BE ANGRY, because people may not accept your gift. Don't get angry about that...
... potential, about the possible. Any day, the dream will possess you. And then there will be meaning and there will be dance. 'Religion is art,' said William Blake. 'Religion is art, not money.'

... cannot sell it. He can sell his paintings, but he cannot sell his art. There is no way of selling it because it is not a thing. It remains always invisible. Only effects become visible.

... want to earn money - let that be your meditation. Earn money. Some day when you are frustrated, then the right moment will come. If you want to move in power politics - move!

That is the meaning of the Eastern concept of rebirth: there is enough time; millions of lives have...
.... But that pygmy with the rifle - he doesn't seem to be doing a thing.' The Hunter said, 'Don't you worry about the pygmy. He earns his money.'

The Hunter climbed up the tree, and just as he was about to bash the gorilla over the head, the gorilla turned and...
... you in for something you have never desired. A disciple and the Master are in a great conflict; a great struggle goes on. And the disciple can win only if he is unfortunate.
