... money is heroin money. The Italian government has issued an arrest warrant for the bishop who was running the bank. They turn black money into white, it is the biggest mafia. But the Vatican, although just eight square miles, is a sovereign country, and the pope is not only the head of the Catholic church, he is also the head of the Vatican sovereign country, just eight square miles. The Italian...
... government cannot enter there. So they were just waiting for that manager to come out -- but he would not come out once he knew. And do you know what the pope has done to him? Rather than delivering him to the Italian government, because he is committing the greatest crime, and the pope goes on speaking against drugs and his bank is dealing only in drugs ... All the money that he is spending on his tours...
... ... When the pope went to Australia, he spent eight million dollars. Just before him the queen of England had gone there, and she spent only two million dollars. From where is this money coming? Rather than giving him to the Italian government, he has made the bishop a cardinal, promoted him because he is the source of money. It is true not only about the Catholic church, it is the situation with all...
... progress. This idea has gone into your bones, into your very marrow. And it goes on driving you mad! It never leaves you at ease, it does not allow you rest. It is not possible to relax with this mind. But you have always been taught: push, rush, hurry, time is short and time is money. Push, hurry, do something before time is lost. What do you want to do? Be! And being is possible only herenow. Becoming...
... will go on going astray - from one goal to another goal. Sometimes it is money that is the goal, sometimes it is power; then sometimes it is meditation and sometimes it is enlightenment and God and nirvana. The name changes but the goal remains. And you remain tense because time is slipping by. How can you avoid tension? Time is slipping by and the goal has not come yet, and life is becoming less and...
... of one million dollars, who is not that mad, is not missing. Both are in the same situation, both may have the same kind of money, hut one is missing and one is not missing. It depends. You are missing God because God has become your goal. You are missing enlightenment because enlightenment has become your goal. Nobody else is missing. Make a goal and that becomes the problem. If you listen to me...
... worldly man has money as the goal; his ego is not very big. But the spiritual man - his ego is enormous, because he has a bigger goal. Money is below him, he needs God. Less than that is not going to satisfy him. Power and prestige are below him; he wants nirvana, enlightenment. So you will see more ego, more burning ego, in the spiritual man than in the ordinary, the worldly man. The worldly man is not...
... in human history - for people to start living in communes and to start being truthful, honest, trusting, and to go on dropping the law more and more. In a family, love disappears sooner or later. In the first place it may not have been there at all from the very beginning. It may have been an arranged marriage - for other motives, for money, power, prestige. There may not have been any love from...
... the middle is a small life. Enjoy it, and enjoy it even if you have to borrow money. Don't be worried, because after death nobody is going to tell you, "Give me my money back." His sentence is: Rinam kritva ghritam pivet. Even if you have to borrow money, don't be worried: borrow money, drink ghee. Ghee is the most refined part of milk. When butter is refined, it becomes ghee. You cannot...
..., "You are an idiot. If you have been doing all this for a reward, you will fall into the deepest hell." The emperor was shocked. But Bodhidharma said, "The very idea of reward is nothing but greed. You are more greedy than ordinary greedy people. Those who are collecting money know perfectly well when they die their bank balance is not going with them, nor is their money going with them...
.... He was a keen judge of human nature and a very efficient propagandist. His is a personality difficult to visualize, but he was a very earnest disciple and an increasing believer in the mission of Jesus and in the certainty of the kingdom. Jesus never gave Levi a nickname, but his fellow apostles commonly referred to him as the “money-getter.” (1559.7) 139:7.3 Levi’s strong point was his...
... way and raised most of the money among the more substantial class of interested believers. He gave practically the whole of his modest fortune to the work of the Master and his apostles, but they never knew of this generosity, save Jesus, who knew all about it. Matthew hesitated openly to contribute to the apostolic funds for fear that Jesus and his associates might regard his money as being tainted...
... wish that Jesus might know that much of the money came from his pocket! He little realized that the Master knew all about it. The apostles all died without knowing that Matthew was their benefactor to such an extent that, when he went forth to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom after the beginning of the persecutions, he was practically penniless. (1560.6) 139:7.10 When these persecutions caused the...
... spiritual perception. What may be said of one should be recorded of the other. (1563.4) 139:9.3 Andrew assigned them to the work of policing the multitudes. They were the chief ushers of the preaching hours and, in fact, the general servants and errand boys of the twelve. They helped Philip with the supplies, they carried money to the families for Nathaniel, and always were they ready to lend a helping...
...: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death.” It is altogether possible to fall victim to the peaceful deception of pleasant adjustment to the paths of sin and death. Be assured that Judas was always financially loyal to his Master and his fellow apostles. Money could never have been the motive for his betrayal of the Master. (1566.5) 139:12.6 Judas was an only son of unwise...
... happening everywhere. It is part of the human scene. So don't make much fuss about it, and don't get disturbed. You say: I FIND MYSELF MOSTLY ATTRACTED TO WOMEN AND VERY RARELY DEEPLY TO A MAN. Good -- at least you find yourself attracted to somebody. There is a possibility of love. There are people so dull, so dead, so insensitive, that they only feel attracted towards money, or political power, or fame...
.... You are in a far better situation; at least you are not in love with money. Even Ori Oristotle was in a far better situation than the people who are in love with money. But these people are not thought to be perverted. They are the REAL perverts: money is their whole life, their devotion; money is their god. You are attracted to women: perfectly good. Go deep into relationship with women. If you...
... resides in you. If I can help you to remember this, that's all. Zareen, that's why you feel the difference but you cannot figure it out. This is the difference. All religions are ways; all religions are new directions for the ego, new projections, new desires, and sometimes far more dangerous than the ordinary desire is. A man desiring money is not in such a mess as a man who desires God, because money...
... can be FOUND by desiring; money can ONLY be found by desiring, and God can never be found by desiring. God can only be found by non-desiring. So miserable is the man, most miserable is the man who desires God. The man who is greedy for money is not in such a great mess; he is far more sane -- because money can be found only if you desire and work hard for it, compete, struggle. If you desire...
... to Bombay where he caught a plane. He had managed to salvage some of his money when shipwrecked. However, during the flight he was hijacked by the hijackers. But the hijackers decided to set him free in the desert. He walked to a village and waited for the bus to take him to the Himalayas. Within a few months the bus came and he caught it to the foothills of the Himalayas. He then spent a long time...
... be desired and longed for. Truth is not there outside you to be possessed. Truth is something that flowers in you; you don't take it from anybody. And if you attain to truth, it is not like money that somebody else has lost because you have it. It is not a quantity in the world, it is a quality of being. When Buddha becomes enlightened it is not that somebody else is suffering: Buddha has usurped...
... have been nature painters. Nature is more beautiful because many, many people have seen beauty in it and that has become a heritage that has penetrated our beings. Truth is not like money, truth is like beauty. The more people see it, the more clear it is. The more people have it, the more people can have it. There is no question of coveting. But the woman had only heard, the woman had only gathered...
... rumors about the Fruit of Heaven. Now she must be feeling very miserable, in despair: "Others have attained and I have not attained. I have to show to the world, I have to prove myself." This is an ego trip, this is not true search; this is the same ego trip. Some people are trying to collect more and more money so they can stand on the pile of money and declare to the world, "Nobody has...
... who wants to die? We want silence also as a decoration, as a medal, so we can brag that "Not only have I got money, I have also got meditation." So that we can brag that "Not only am I rich outwardly, I am rich inwardly too.". The first interest in searching for silence arises out of the ego. And the ego itself is the barrier. So when you come in contact with a master or with an...
... will be far richer than it was, because now you will be fully alert of it. You will be conscious too. To be consciously a child is to be a saint. There is a story of the little boy of six years of age together with his girlfriend of five year of age who approach his mother with the news that they are going to get married. "And what are you going to do for money?" the mother asked. "...
..." - because he is thinking he is a changed being. He is not. First he was running after money, now he is running from money, but the running continues. First he was continuously hankering for this woman and that, now he is continuously afraid of women. But he remains obsessed with the same idea; for or against makes no difference. He is focussed on the same target. First he was in lust, now he is...
... become awake and was listening. Great haggling was going on and talk about money, and she was also interested. And she did not want to disturb him; something great was happening. "Eighty, eighty-one, eighty-two..." and it went on "... ninety-nine." And Mulla said, "Ninety-nine, no! A hundred! I will take only a hundred." And then suddenly he opened his eyes, and the wife...
... am this, I am that" - you are bringing more and more bricks to make the prison called ego. And this is what we go on doing in our whole life. Earn more money, have a bigger bank balance, and your ego will feel more grounded, more supported, more secure. Become famous: the more people know about you, the more you will think you are. Hence the constant search for attention. If nobody pays any...
...;Become a musician, even if you remain a beggar." And the parents wanted him to become a doctor or an engineer - now there is going to be trouble. The child, if he becomes an engineer, will have much money, prestige, power, but he will miss his soul. He will never come to know any joy in his life; he will know misery, he will never know any rejoicing. But the parents are more interested in money...
.... "And now I'm going to scream." "Please don't!" the man said. "Okay, but it'll cost you money," the boy said. "Here's five dollars." "I'm going to scream!" said the small voice. "Okay, here's ten dollars!" "I'm going to scream," the small voice said. "Here's twenty dollars." Finally, when the boy turned down thirty-five...
... dollars, the man said, "All I have is forty dollars." "I'll take it." At last, the husband left and the man was able to get out of the closet and make a hasty exist. That afternoon, the mother took the boy with her on a shopping trip. "I want to get that bicycle," he said. The mother said, "No, you can't. It costs too much money." The boy said, "I've got...
... live without any fear, because we are part of this existence. There is nobody to be afraid of. The existence is not antagonistic to us, it protects us. But the mind is the by-product of fear, and because of the fear it goes on creating its own security. Have more money, have a bigger house, have respect, prestige, political power. Win friends, influence people, so you are secure. You have so many...
.... Harrington looked slightly stunned. "Valuable?" and he held up his scarred hand. "These samples are very hard to get hold of." Just look around yourself. Look at people, watch. People are accumulating rubbish. In the name of money, in the name of knowledge, in the name of virtue, people are accumulating rubbish, all kinds of rubbish. And that is their security; they think it is going to...
...; apologized Arnold. "I thought this was a park." The gentleman looked sympathetically at the ragged hobo. "Mister, are you happy living this kind of life?" "Sir, money and worldly goods do not make happiness," preached the hobo. "To me, happiness is the freedom to roam without the pressures of society and the economy. The sky is my roof and the world is my bed. Give me all...
... this, a piece of bread, a can of baked beans, and my happiness is complete." "I admire your simplicity and I admire your sincerity," said the gentleman and handed him a hundred- dollar bill. "Sir," commented the hobo as he took the money, "you have made me very unhappy." Just look at people. The richer they get, the more unhappy they look. It should not be so; why...
... on doors, on everybody's doors, unconditionally. But very few open their doors. Those who open them, they become really rich, they become kings, because the kingdom of God is theirs. And those who are too much involved inside their houses - arranging their furniture and putting things right and counting their money - they cannot hear the knock. The knock is very silent, it is a whisper: you have to...
