You do not want to feel defeated, so you put on a show of contentment. Many follow such contentment, but this is not the teaching of the Upanishads. Contentment for the Upanishads is not a defeated attitude. Really, it is a deep...

... one hundred rupees; and it was only a question of one rupee. And the thing I was selling was not worth twenty rupees. I would have given it to him for ninety-nine, but I wanted to see the man accurately, and I wanted to count the money accurately. The glasses were needed. "After I put on the glasses, I was saying to the man, `Wherever you are, come back! Okay -- ninety-nine I will accept...
... waste it. And the greatest use that you can put this moment to is meditation. Everything else eventually proves meaningless. Earn money, become respectable, have political power, mm? one day death comes and everything is taken away and you are a beggar again. - Only meditation cannot be taken away by anything - not even by death.

... denominator - what he wants - so the story moves around him. Even films of people like samuel beckett never succeeded. Wherever his films were shown the audience simply revolted - there were riots. People simply demanded their money back, because to them it looked nonsensical, absurd. His films were tremendously creative - he was a rare man - but it was not possible for the masses to understand his insight...
... mind - not only non-competitive, but in a mind that is not even making any comparisons. You are yourself - there is no need to compare yourself with anybody.

And whenever there is competition, you become...

If you give him a one hundred rupee note and a shining four anna coin, he will choose the four anna coin, not the hundred rupee note, because the shining coin will appeal to him more.

He says that life is like a child who is asleep in a train and is awakened by an inspector who wants to check the ticket, but the child has no ticket and no money either to pay for it. Not only that, the child is not at all aware of where he is going, what his destination...
... you are in the train. You don't have a ticket and you don't have the money to pay for it, and still you cannot get out of the train. There are guards who won't allow you to jump out of it, because to commit suicide is a great crime. You are neither allowed to go out of the train nor do you see any point in being in the train because you don't know where you are going and you never decided to be...
... with their own hands. If somebody takes away your money, nothing is taken; money you can earn again. But if somebody takes your responsibility, you are destroyed, you are almost instantly killed. To be responsible for yourself is the very life of your being. And these saviors were saying, "You have just to be faithful, and to save you is our responsibility." I don't take anybody's...
...; "For that kind of money," says Sandy, "I don't think that Glenda would mind. Would you, Glenda? Go ahead and pinch her." Glenda leans over a chair and exposes her behind.

... day you are here - why don't you join in the work?" The man said, "For what?" He said, "For what? You will earn money." The man said, "But for what?" The engineer said, "Then you can relax under a tree." The man said, "This is stupid, I'm already resting under a tree. Why should I bother first to work, then to earn money, and then to rest under a...

Nachiketa says, "If I am a king, will you come or...
... not?" And Death says, "Strange questions you are asking. I will have to come one day finally, whatever you are, whether a king or a beggar." He says, "Then there is no point in asking for a kingdom. And certainly death will be the same for the richest man. So there is no point in asking for money.

..., because disciples and conflicts... So one disciple would just abduct him, and for months he would not be found. He would not say no to anybody! People would give him money so he would take it.
