They exist only...
... - money, power, prestige. He is SO afraid that he says, "All is dream. The world that is outside is not real. The real world is inside." But both are being half true.

And one thing is beautiful about a total lie: it cannot deceive you long - because...
... have known. The Vedas are full of prayers asking for worldly things: better crops, better cows, more money, better health, fame, power, prestige.

Upanishads are not commentaries and they are...
... all! On the earth Jesus is born out of a virgin mother. That is nonsense, absurdity - illogical, unscientific! Secondly, he is the only-begotten son of God; God must have carried him in his womb. Because he is not a woman, and there is no woman in Christian trinity - unless the Holy Ghost functions in double ways! This is not right about Jesus. He dragged the money-changers out of the temple...
... violently; that is not the way of a humble man. With a whip in his hand he chased them out of the temple. I have not done anything like that!

And a single temple may take hundreds of years to be made...
... possible. To invite a naked Jaina monk means you need a temple which can do justice to his prestige, otherwise you are insulting him.

..., they are investing money. They want him to say to the poor, "You are suffering from your past bad karmas, and these rich people are enjoying their good karmas of a past life. If you want to enjoy yourself, then do good karmas, obey the scriptures, follow the principles handed over by the great masters, and in your next life you will be rich." I was trying to explain why the priests have to...
... wrong things. Money is more important than meditation. This is a very topsy-turvy situation: man is standing on his head. Man is dying, and the death is very slow. And remember, when death is very fast you can avoid it, because you become intensely aware of it. When it comes very very slow, a slow poisoning.... For example, a person goes on smoking every day. All the experts go on saying that this is...
..., man, them Jewish folks sure knows how to live!" The definition depends on you. The definition is always going to be your definition, how you conceive life, it will not be the definition of life. For the money mad, life will have the sound of money, of solid gold. For the power mad, the power maniac, life will have a different taste. For the poet, of course, life will have something of poetry in...
..., 'Say some thing to us,' they would say, 'We have nothing to say. We simply laugh and change the quality.' When just a few moments before, it was an ugly place where people were thinking only of money -- hankering for money, greedy, money the only milieu around -- suddenly these three mad people came and they laughed, and changed the quality of the whole market-place. Now nobody was a customer. Now...
..., "I have come to steal something." The sage said, "There in that corner I have got a few rupees. You can take them" - and then he started to write his letter again. The thief took the money, was trying to go out, and then the sage said, "Stop! When somebody gives you something you should thank him. The money may not be of much help, but thanking a person will go a long way and...
... nothing wrong. The whole thing is finished, the account is closed. I gave him some money and he thanked me for it. He is not a thief." This mind, or no-mind, of a sage is the base. THE SAGE SANKRITI ONCE VISITED ADITYALOK. This is a parable. Adityalok means the abode of the sun or the abode of light, enlightenment. The sun is just a symbol. The sun is not only a lifegiving source, it is a...
...; And as they went out to take him to his car and came back in, Nasruddin opened one eye and asked, "Has that nut gone or not? Now everybody gather, and the sermon begins: You idiots, you should have given me twenty rupees and I would have been silent the whole night. Just give me twenty rupees each night and I will be silent. Don't waste money this way. Rather than talking business to me, you...

... a great filmmaker in Germany but he decided to close the whole business and just follow me. You might not understand that he has closed a big flourishing business; he was earning immense money, and now he simply takes my pictures and nothing else. This decisiveness is of tremendous value.

... decision amongst themselves; there are divisions. So the palace of the king was the kingdom of the beggar. And the king said, "Tomorrow when this beggar comes towards the palace, we will put a golden pot full of gold coins in the middle of the bridge. He comes so early that he is almost the first man to cross the bridge, and he will get hold of the pot and all the money that the pot contains."...
... intelligence in his eyes. He was not capable even of speaking. Those twelve years had taken everything from him, but it had given him tremendous honor.

The ego is such that it can make you do stupid things if it feels a certain gratification in it. Now...
... which you again and again come" - because there was one problem. He had two angots - that is a special saintly underwear - and the trouble was that there were rats in the forest, and they would make holes in his underwear and he would have to come to the town so somebody could mend it. And they said, "It is unnecessarily tiring. We suggest to you.... We have gathered money and we have...
.... They have accumulated most of the money of the country, and it should be used for schools and colleges. Now he will be in more difficulty.

... him. The family was suffering, because he was stealing things and distributing them to the beggars, borrowing money from anywhere and the family had to pay it, purchasing anything that he wanted. He was a great shopper, all kinds of junk, it did not matter what it was. Just if it was cheap, he would purchase it. So the family was in difficulty. I remember Narendra was so small, but these small...
...! Let's go in and change it and then each of us can buy something really far out!" They go in and change the money, divide it up and disappear into the store to spend it.

... those who possess money and influence can secure ready justice before its courts! It is the sacred duty of a magistrate to acquit the innocent as well as to punish the guilty.

As long as men borrow and lend, that which is fair interest may be collected provided the capital lent was legitimate wealth. First cleanse your capital before you lay claim to the interest.
