... should not be only food, should not be only sex, should not be only money, should not be only power. It should not be any ONE thing, it should be many things, the whole variety. All the dimensions should remain available, then you will be rich. A passionate millionaire has fallen in love and broken women's hearts countless times. He begins each letter to his new sweethearts: "My darling, and...
... will find these people everywhere. There are people who think only of money - as if their whole life has only one goal: to leave in the world as big a bank balance as possible. There are people who only want some political power. Their whole life is devoted to only one thing: how to become the president of a country, or the prime minister of a country. These are obsessed people. They have missed...
... about nothing. Kierkegaard never got married. One foolish woman was in love with him... must have been foolish, because he was an ugly man in the first place, and a strange type, eccentric, who lived in the darkness of his room. Once a month he had to go out because his father, before he died, had put money in the post office and made an arrangement that every month Kierkegaard could draw a certain...
... amount. He knew that Kierkegaard was not going to earn any money; he would simply die in his room, so his father sold everything and deposited it in the post office. That's why Kierkegaard had to go out once every month; the first day of the month he would go out. He lived in Copenhagen, and the whole town waited because it was a rare opportunity - Kierkegaard coming out of his room. The children used...
... temple of Dakshineshwar, in Calcutta, on the banks of the Ganges; it is one of the most beautiful shrines. She had enough money and enough of everything, but no brahmin was ready to worship in her temple because that temple was made by an untouchable. So that temple had also become untouchable, and the god in the temple, he had also become untouchable - and these brahmins are the people who say that it...
... is all playfulness. Even God becomes untouchable because the temple statue has been purchased by the money of an untouchable. Rani Rasmani never entered the temple, knowing perfectly well that if she entered the temple then there would be no possibility of finding a brahmin priest. She never touched anything of the temple. She used to come just to the boundary of the temple and bow down from there...
..., very powerful, so when a person becomes fed up with the world, feels frustrated with the world, sees that there is nothing there, and starts thinking about religion, again the old habit works: he again starts looking for God outside. He was looking for money; now he looks for God. First he was looking for political power; now he looks for religious power. But he looks outside. His old habit remains...
... you knock at the doors of reality. From there comes the realization of that which is. And you have been gone so far in the outside world - after money, after power, after sex, after this and that - that it takes very long to come back. And you come back very reluctantly. I have heard: A moonshiner in the Georgia hills was caught redhanded by a posse of revenue agents. The moonshiner, despite his...
... of quality, the difference is of having less money or more. With the ignorant and the knowledgeable it Is the same. The real difference happens when there is a Buddha around; then you know the difference of quality. He functions from a different level altogether. I have heard: Hilary was on the last leg of his momentous climb. Just as he was about to reach the virgin summit of the highest peak on...
... house," replied Joey. "And what about money?" inquired Suzy's mother. "Well," said Suzy, "I get one dollar a week and Joey gets one dollar a week, and I have always heard you say that two can live cheaper than one." "And what about children? Have you thought about having children?" asked Joey's mother. "Oh, we have decided to wait a little while with...
... whatsoever you get goes on enhancing the ego. If you get money, your ego immediately exploits it. If you get knowledge, your ego jumps on it and becomes more knowledgeable. If you succeed in anything, the ego.... Whatsoever you do, the ego goes on absorbing everything that comes to it. It goes on eating it, and goes on becoming bigger and bigger. When you come to me for the first time and take sannyas, I...
... DEEPER, TWISTING IN MY GUT. BUT SOMETIMES I KNOW I AM A FOOL AND IN THOSE MOMENTS CAN HEAR THE BIRDS AND SEE THE SKY. Empathy comes, compassion, love comes, but it comes only when you are a fool. That's why everybody thinks that lovers are foolish, blind, hypnotized by each other. Love is a sort of foolishness. In the world where money seems to be the only goal, where name and fame seem to be the only...
... parable. This is the story of millions of people. You go on collecting. I have seen rich people collecting money, never enjoying it. Even poor people are not so poor sometimes. Rich people are very poor, they never enjoy. They say, 'A little more. Let us first collect enough.' But it is never enough, it can never be enough. Mind never says 'enough'. It says 'a little more, a little more, a little more...
...'. It goes on demanding more and more. It is a mad demand. You can collect money; that will not make you rich - unless you enjoy it. You can have millions of books; that will not make you learned - unless you enjoy them. You can have many flowers; that will not give you the sense of beauty - unless you dance with them in the air, in the wind, in the rain... unless you have a little dance with them...
...- oriented. "Give us more! Give us plenty! Better crops, better rain, more money, more health, more life, more longevity - give us more!" The whole Veda is nothing but desire written large. And sometimes very ugly. In the Veda not only do the so-called rishis go on praying "Give us more!" - they also pray: "Don't give to our enemies! Give more milk to MY cow, but let the enemy's...
... beautiful, there is no need to go on stuffing it with money, power, prestige, fame. This nothingness is so pure and so innocent and so beautiful that you are blessed in it. You start dancing in that nothingness. That nothingness starts a dance. Buddha hints you towards that dance. When Buddha was dying, Ananda started crying and he said, "What will I do now? You are leaving and I have not yet become...
.... And it takes the turn so suddenly that in a single line it is there in its totality. Let me tell you one joke: A Jewish synagogue was collecting money for a new building for the synagogue - the old one was rotten and was falling apart. They were doing everything that can be done to collect more money. They had sold lottery tickets and then the lottery was opened, and the president of the community...
... says. The caretaker leads him to the brain of a nuclear physicist, for 9000 rupees. "Much too expensive," Mulla replies. Finally the caretaker offers him the brain of a politician, for 20,000 rupees. "Why should I pay that kind of money for the brain of a politician?" Mulla protests. "But, sir," the caretaker explains, "this brain has never been used." The...
... sannyasin? Even now that you have become a sannyasin, you are puzzled - what has happened to you? What are you doing here? - such an intelligent person, what is he doing here? Ask Heeren: he is continuously thinking, such an intelligent person, almost a Jew, what is he doing here? He should be somewhere in the London market earning more and more money, having bigger and bigger houses - what is he doing...
