... tell you an anecdote. A minister, a priest and a rabbi were discussing how they decided what part of the collection money each retained for personal needs and what part was turned into their respective institutions. 'I draw a line,' said the minister, 'on the floor. All the money I toss in the air. What lands to the right of the line I keep, to the left of the line is the Lord's.' The priest nodded...
..., saying,' My system is essentially the same, only I use a circle. What lands inside is mine, outside is his.' The rabbi smiled and said, 'I do the same thing. I toss all the money into the air and whatever God grabs is his.' We even go on playing tricks with God. In fact, God is also our invention, a very cunning invention. It is also somewhere there - and you can pray to him, you can ask things from...
... tree. Then there will be a big group of ladies, his harem - the most beautiful, young. After that will be a third group. I was thinking about this third group for many days but I had no word for it. In India we call that group the chamchas. Chamcha means a spoon, and these people are suckers. Just the way you take, with a spoon, things out of a bottle, they go on taking things - power, money - from...
... be worried." She opened the door and she said, "Do you have money enough to go to the ship or should I come with you to lead you? - because Alexandria in the middle of the night is dangerous." He said, "No" - now he was able to speak for the first time, seeing that a prostitute is not some dangerous animal. She behaved more humanly than any woman had ever behaved with him...
.... I was studying those aboriginals from every view, because they are living examples of days when man was not so much burdened with all kinds of morality, religion, civilization, culture, etiquette, manners. They are simple, innocent, still wild, fresh. This man was going and collecting money from cities, and opening schools and bringing teachers. Just by the way he met me there. I said, "What...
... any bank account, because I always spend the money before I get it. I am very optimistic about it: it will be coming, spend it! So there was no question of having a bank account. But just now, I have been informed that some government agency from America has opened a bank account in Switzerland in my name with my signature - just to put a case against me. Now, my signature is public. Anybody who...
... neighbors; neighbors are really the worst enemies. Everybody hates the neighbors, is jealous of the neighbors - thinks they are enjoying, are rich, have this, have that - and feels miserable comparing himself with them, feels competitive. And how can you love someone you feel competitive with? It is a cutthroat, competitive world. Everybody is trying to cut your throat. You may be trying to take the money...
... from somebody else's pocket, forgetting that somebody else is taking your money from your pocket. Once George Bernard Shaw was asked, "Can a man just live relaxed, with both of his hands in his pockets?" Bernard Shaw said, "Yes, but the pockets must be of others. The hands, of course, will be mine, but the pockets must be of others. And then one can live relaxed - there is no problem...
... zeros following it. But he became so involved with big figures - which is uncommon, but he was thinking only of stars, light-years, millions, billions, trillions of stars, and counting them - that about small things he became oblivious. One day he entered a bus and gave the conductor the money. The conductor returned some change; Einstein counted it and said, "This is not right, you are cheating...
... done on your behalf by a servant - otherwise rich people would not get bothered with all this greasy affair. They have enough servants, enough money, they could just send the servants. They could find the best servants, but why should they bother themselves? But there are a few things which you have to do yourself A servant cannot sleep for you, a servant cannot eat for you. How is a priest, who is...
... as the priesthood. If they write in the common people's language they cannot charge you as much as they are charging, because you will say, "This prescription - you are charging me twenty dollars for this prescription?" And the chemist, the druggist, cannot charge much money either because they know that they can get the same thing from the market for just one dollar, and you are charging...
... see that all the stupid things that you are doing now, or wanting to do, you have been doing for many many lives... you have done those same things many times, and each time nothing was attained. For example, if you are mad after money and then you remember that in the past life also you were mad after money and then you had succeeded, and you had become a rich man, a very rich man, and then you...
... died... and all that richness and all that wealth was of no use. It was taken away by death, and you died as empty as ever, as poor as ever. And you remember even before that: you were a king and you had a great kingdom. And still you were frustrated, and still you lived in misery, and you died in misery. And again you are doing the same and hankering for more money? It will become impossible. The...
... will not understand." In California, Kaveesha, you can start a new game. Don't bother about this channeling - within two years it will be past. California is good. It has money, it has the young generation, unemployed, and it has a tradition of changing everything - changing the job, changing the wife, changing the town, changing the house. In two or three years they become bored. So rather than...
... is too much. When other surgeons are charging a certain amount for the same disease, you charge five times as much." He said to me, "My success in many other things also has this basis: when a person gives me five times more, he is determined to survive. It is not only because of money that I am greedy. If he is willing to give me five times more - when he could get the operation at...
... - that will not do. Your problem is more serious. If you are ready to give me twenty thousand, I am going to take the instruments in my hands; otherwise, you get up and get out. You can find cheaper people." Now, in such a situation.... And the person has money; otherwise, how can he say yes? And he accepts it: "I will give twenty thousand, but save me." And he told me, "Any surgeon...
... thinking of money when you were falling asleep, exactly the same thought will be the first thought in the morning. You will be thinking of money again - because that thought remained in your mind, waited for you to come back to it. If you were thinking of sex, in the morning you will be thinking of sex. Whatsoever.... If you were thinking of god and you prayed and that was your last thing in the night...
... efficiency. The whole effort of the society is to reduce you to efficient mechanisms. And vast amounts of money are wasted in order to cripple you, to destroy you, to paralyse you. Then suddenly one day you find you are missing everything. You haven't tasted life yet. You have lived and yet you cannot say that you have lived. You have loved and yet you cannot say that love has happened to you. You have...
... university, because young people are more generous; older people slowly become more miserly, more afraid. Death is coming close by; now money seems to be the only thing that can help. And if they have money then others may help also; if they don't have money, even their own sons, their own daughters, won't bother about them. Young people can be spendthrifts. They are young, they can earn; life is there, a...
... bit crazy; otherwise who bothers about painting and poetry when there are so many things to do in the world? - to earn mountains of money, to be presidents and prime ministers, kings and queens.... And these fools are wasting their time, their life, and if you ask them, "For what?" they don't even have the answer. The man simply moved away. He said, "I knew it, that you don't know...
... not come to the end of the universe, and we are not going to come to the end. The mind cannot conceive of it. The mind always thinks somewhere there must be an end. When Columbus was trying, persuading people... because nobody was going with him; there was nobody ready. It was one crazy queen of Spain who said, "I will give the money. You try." It was not a problem for her. Money was...
... strong, not very intense. You don't feel the urgency, you don't feel thirsty enough for it. It is not your first priority. Maybe it is somewhere on your shopping list - just at the end. If any money is left, if time is left, and the market remains open, you will see. But it is not first. First comes the world, and then comes God. Of course, you never come to God, because the world is vast - one thing...
.... Have you watched it? Lovers start thinking about death. Money changers never think of death. A poet in a deep moment of communion with nature starts thinking of death. A dancer at the peak, when everything is exploding, becomes afraid: death is there. When you are at a crescendo of any experience, you will always find death present. Why? Because whenever life is there death is there. People have...
... can take things from the money box and disappear. Hmm? the father. So small kids, they will just sit there in the shop and watch. When the father can steal, then the children have to watch. Otherwise ordinarily it happens the other way: the father watches, and the kids steal. This is how it is happening here. The Master is nonserious: the kids have to be serious. It certainly balances. Teertha is...
