... ready to spread Hinduism to the world at large, and create a movement in India to force the government to ban cow slaughter. When I refused him he said, "Young man, you think twice because Jawaharlal gets money from me, Jaiprakash Narayan gets money from me, Ram Manohar Lohia gets money from me, Ashok Mehta gets money from me." All these were the topmost leaders. He said, "And every...
... month I am giving them money, as much as they need. Even to Ashok Mehta who is the president of the socialist party of India, which is against the rich people - even he is my man." He said, "I give to all party presidents, important people; whoever comes to power he will be my man. Let them talk what they talk; talking does not matter - I have purchased them." I told Indira about...
... airplanes continually? Money must be coming from somewhere, and he has no visible source. My feeling is that Jugal Kisore was not lying." Indira mentioned this to Jaiprakash: "Do you get a salary every month from the Birla house?" And that was the thing that hit him hard; that was when he decided that Indira could no longer be tolerated. He willingly became a partner of Morarji Desai's and...
... himself. Somebody else is afraid that if he has no power in the world, how is he going to protect himself? Somebody is afraid that if he does not have enough money in the world, how is he going to survive? And so on and so forth - just watch people and you will find ALL kinds of fears dominating their lives. Sherlock Holmes arrived in heaven. The angels turned out en masse to meet him; the Lord himself...
... money, my car too." "Who?" "That Amazon." "You mean a woman did this to you?" "Yes! " "Can you give a description of this woman?" The little man's dazed eyes looked up at the officer. "She is five feet ten and a half inches tall, weighs two hundred pounds, has blonde hair with a grey streak down the back, wears size ten shoes, and has a mole...
... practising the violin upstairs. "I can't stand it any more!" he cried to Mrs Jones. "One year of lessons, the best violin money can buy, and our son makes sounds like a cat being tortured." "I know you are disappointed," said Mrs Jones trying to console her husband. "He will never be a virtuoso." "He will never be a street player! They would throw garbage at him...
... unhappiness to somebody else. It has no truth about it; it is only your dream. And you can have any dream you like. To somebody power is happiness; to somebody money is happiness; to somebody else money is misery - he escapes, renounces the money; he escapes from all power, goes to the jungle. To somebody, people are happiness; to somebody, aloneness. It depends on you. But I am not interested in happiness...
..., a long walk of one hour. Here we don't waste time. Life is short and time is money. It has to be saved. Mulla Nasrudin said: Just one question - do you mind if I lie down for the operation? Everybody is in a hurry. Where are you going in such a hurry? Have you ever seen somebody reaching anywhere? Have you heard of anybody who has ever reached anywhere through hurry, through impatience, through...
... of reaching the moon? What will you do? But this is the whole trend of the mind. With the money America has wasted in reaching the moon the whole of Asia could have been fed, all the backward countries could have been developed. And what have you gained by reaching the moon? The American flag is now on the moon - this is the gain. And there is nobody to even see it! And now other planets are the...
... father cares, he sends money, and you simply live like a prince. Still the world has not entered, but the whole world is pulling you into insecurity and sooner or later you will have to be thrown out of the university. It is not accidental that all over the world people call the university 'the Mother'. It is meaningful. It is the mother - you are still a child, and the society is taking care of you...
... friends; or they might have accumulated more money, gambled a little more. Always they go to bed half-heartedly and then they complain that there is insomnia - they cannot sleep. Deep down you don't want to sleep. I have never seen an insomniac who really wants to sleep. If he wants it, sleep will be there. He does not want it. Deep down he wants an active life, completely active, no rest. Because...
... through rest you cannot earn money, that is the problem. Through rest you cannot win elections, through rest the shop will not become bigger, through rest what can you achieve? Rest cannot fulfill ambition - ambition needs action. Desires need action; politics, money, everything needs action. Sleep is sheer wastage. If your mind is obsessed with desires you go half-heartedly to bed, as if it is a...
..., no one to entice him with money. No one gives him any opportunity - he is alone there. Self-observation becomes difficult. This world is the place where you can observe and understand yourself. Otherwise God would have made innumerable jungles and would have kept one person in one jungle. But you will have to admit that the divine is more intelligent than you. Listen to him and be careful of these...
.... Henry Ford used to send his sons to polish boots on the roadsides. He used to tell them to earn their own pocket-money like this. He was a billionaire, and yet he made his sons polish the shoes of other people. His friends said that this is a bit too much! He said, "I myself have earned money by polishing shoes. People who were rich when I was a child have now become beggars. I was like a beggar...
... to do in this world, when people will forcibly retire you and when you will be at your last stage, do you think you will be able to sing the song of the divine? People do not want to give up anything till the last moment. There is a medical college in London where they have kept a dead body. Two hundred years ago that man had given some money to the college with the condition that he will preside...
... reality you are experiencing misery. Only the enlightened one enjoys. Ten tyakten bhunjithan - those who renounced, only they enjoyed. He enjoys the divine. You are enjoying trivia, and the so-called enjoyment of the trivial is causing you great misery. One day a man came and put a lot of money at Ramakrishna's feet. Ramakrishna said, "Please take it away." That man said, "This is another...
... proof of your being a great renouncer." Ramakrishna said, "You are a great renouncer, not I, because I am enjoying the divine and you are giving him up. You are collecting money and I am collecting the divine. So tell me, who is the renouncer and who is enjoying? I am the lover of happiness and you are the renouncer." A person who is not bothered about diamonds and is collecting stones...
... count money in my life. So please don't disturb me, things are going perfectly well. He thinks this is punishment, I think this is reward -- reward for asking a reasonable question." And I learned in these small things by and by that this society rewards lies, punishes truth, teaches truth but never rewards the truth. This whole society is against the individual. It wants everybody retarded. The...
... is not life. And in keeping him alive we are keeping so many people unnecessarily engaged, so much mechanism unnecessarily used, so much money is wasted unnecessarily -- and he will never open his eyes. So these are the three things: If the person is still in his senses, aware, and makes a will that if he goes into a coma, then don't go on keeping him alive; and if he wants to die just today, it is...
... in the Master, whom do you think he will remember? The last thing is the whole life condensed. The man who was after money will remember his bank balance. Certainly he is going to remember his money: "Now what is going to happen to the money?" He is not concerned with his death, he is worried about the bank balance and the stupid sons and daughters who will destroy everything. That is...
... a job, he could not say to the Master, "I am absolutely, unconditionally surrendered to you, now you are my way. Lead me wherever you want." But now he can say it. Now there is no wife any more, no children to go with him, no job, no money. Nothing that has been important up to this moment and was preventing him from being totally connected with the Master is there any more. Then why not...
..., the same suspicions, the same doubts, the same tricks, the same games - and people go on playing. These are just reactions. Someone asked for some money, and Mulla Nasrudin said, "This is the first time you have asked, so I will give it to you." He gave the money. It was a small sum. Then Mulla thought, "This much money is not going to be given back." But the man returned it...
.... After seven days the man returned it. Mulla was surprised. A week later, the man again came to ask for some money. The Mulla said, "Now you cannot deceive me again. You deceived me last time." The man said, "What are you saying! I returned your money." But Mulla said, "But you deceived me because I was all set for you not to give it back. It was decidedly so. Then you deceived...
... me by giving it back. Now you cannot deceive me again. I am not going to give you the money." If someone behaves unpredictably, it surprises us. You are so predictable, everyone knows what you are going to do. You do this, and this will follow. It is a mechanical response. Go beyond mechanical responses; transcend natural forces; create a will. That is the path beyond human evolution. Below...
.... Your interpretation is wrong. That inner nothingness has nothing to do with inferiority complex, it is your interpretation that creates the inferiority complex. And out of the inferiority complex you start to become superior -- you become a prime minister, you become a president or something. This inner nothingness drives you somewhere -- it may be to money, it may to power, it may be prestige, it...
... husband, you may dominate your children, you may dominate your servants. You will remain cunning and you will never miss any opportunity to dominate. So when I use the word 'political' I don't just mean state affairs, no, I mean all affairs where domination is involved. If you want to have more money you are political because if you want to have more money you will have to exploit people. If you want to...
... of this insistence -- on you being meditative, because meditation is the only joy which is non-competitive, the only joy that you attain but nobody loses because you attain. Nobody is a loser. If you have more money somebody will have less money; if you have more power somebody will have less power; if Morarji becomes the prime minister, Indira is no longer a prime minister. Somebody loses...
.... Somebody's gain is going to be somebody else's loss. But a religious person will not like to do anything in which somebody becomes a loser. This is violent, this is ugly, this is inhuman. Then what is left for the religious person? He can celebrate his being. He can meditate. In meditation you gain and nobody loses. Only God is infinite, everything else is finite. Money is finite, power is finite... if you...
..., once you don't worship the god of eros, then what are you going to do? ALL creativity is closed you become destructive - then wars, vio-lence, aggression, competition, money mania, power politics - they all arise. Man has suffered much because of this stupid attitude about eros. It has given all kinds of perversions. Somebody is after money. Can't you see the perversion? - money has become the god...
.... He does not love a woman, he loves money instead. Somebody loves his car, and somebody loves power, respectability. These are perversions of eros, and these are the really dangerous people. They should not be there. Genghis Khan and Tamerlaine and Alexander and Adolf Hitler and Stalin and Mao - these are the really dangerous people. These are the people who are destructive. Their joy is destruction...
.... And whenever creative energy is not allowed to have its own say, it turns sour, it becomes bitter, it becomes poisonous. Man has not suffered from eros, no, not at all. Man has suffered from anti-eros. When you are anti-eros, THANATOS - death - becomes your god. Death is worshipped. Money is dead, so is politics, so is ego - all dead things become very, very important. And you worship these dead...
... fairy, "is there any other wish you would like granted?" "Oh, yes, I would like a handsome young man." Turning to the cat, the fairy waved her wand, in its place rose a fine looking youth. He looked sadly at the girl and sighed, "Now aren't you sorry you took me to the vet?" That's what is happening - humanity is castrated. So you can have money but you will not have joy...
... had not even seen me. FOR HOW MANY MONTHS? For almost three, four months. She just sent me a note that "I want to leave." I said, "That's perfectly okay. There is no need even to send me a note." Every sannyasin is absolutely free to be here or not to be here. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO RECOVER THE MONEY WITH WHICH SHE ALLEGEDLY RAN AWAY? I don't care about money at all. YOU REPORTEDLY...
... BY A JUDGE TO SELL THE CAMELS AND DIVIDE THE MONEY; AND YET OTHERS HELD THAT THE WILL WAS NULL AND VOID BECAUSE ITS PROVISIONS COULD NOT BE EXECUTED. THEN THEY FELL TO THINKING THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME HIDDEN WISDOM IN THE MASTER'S BEQUEST, SO THEY MADE ENQUIRIES AS TO WHO COULD SOLVE INSOLUBLE PROBLEMS. EVERYONE THEY TRIED FAILED, UNTIL THEY ARRIVED AT THE DOOR OF THE SON-IN-LAW OF THE PROPHET...
... although many things will be there, for you it will remain empty, because you can read only that which you know. Just the other day I heard somebody ask Mulla Nasruddin, 'Why did Jesus say "Blessed are the poor in spirit"?' Mulla thought for a while and then said, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit for they have no money to buy booze.' Another time somebody asked Mulla Nasruddin, 'And what is the...
... communally. That was the closest - to own them communally. Then they went to ask somebody. Now things started going farther and farther away from the Master's intention. Some said, 'MAKE THE NEAREST POSSIBLE DIVISION.' OTHERS WERE TOLD BY A JUDGE TO SELL THE CAMELS AND DIVIDE THE MONEY... Now things have become very, very worldly-wise. This is perfectly okay. Why bother? You can divide the money. Sell the...
... anything. You can go on giving to as many people as you want and you will not lose anything. It is not possible to lose. That which is yours you cannot lose, only that which is not yours can be lost. Money can be lost, stolen, divided. Naturally, if a father has four sons then four sons will divide the money. If he has sixteen then sixteen will divide the money. And the more sons he has, the poorer the...
