If your happiness depends on money, then it is not certain. You...
... may have money today, you may not have it tomorrow. If your happiness depends on others' opinions, it is veN fragile because people's opinions are almost whimsical.

Every child is born to grow and to become a fully-fledged human being, with love, with compassion, with silence. He has to become a celebration unto...
... himself. It is not a question of competition, not even a question of comparison. But the first ugly conditioning distracts you because the urge to grow, the urge to become more, the urge to expand, is being used by the society, by the vested interests. They divert it.

...; The man asked, "But what will I get by earning the money?" And the British officer said, "After earning the money you can relax and rest."
