... you would like to become enlightened very cheaply, without going through any pain, any suffering. And growth comes through suffering. It comes through great pain, it is arduous, one has to pay for it. And the payment is not in money; the payment is very deep. The payment is your innermost sacrifice. The disciple has to disappear. I go on helping, but a little co-operation is needed from your side...
... you may not be able to do some-thing. For example, this French sannyasin really had nothing to do back there; there was no responsibility waiting for her there. There was no problem. It was not a great demand on her to be here for four weeks - she had money, she had everything. There was not any problem there that she had to go and solve - her father was not dying, her mother was not ill - no...
... earns money for you, you never thank him. You don't feel any gratitude. That's what a man should do. That's your mind. How can love grow? Love needs a climate of love, love needs a climate of gratitude, thankfulness. Love needs a non-demanding atmosphere, non-expecting atmosphere. This is the second thing to remember. And the third thing is: rather than thinking how to get love, start giving. If you...
... Sufi story.... A very rich man was searching for bliss, for truth - or whatsoever name you want to give to his search. He had much money and he was ready to offer any amount of this money to anybody who could give him a key. He went from one teacher to another, but nobody could supply him with happiness. He was ready to pay any price; that was not a problem at all. He was carrying a big load of...
... looking at. The man seems to be original but he seems to know nothing about painting. I have heard.... Once a rich man came to Picasso. He wanted two of his paintings and only one painting was ready. And the man was ready to give him any amount of money. So Picasso said, 'You wait. I will bring two paintings.' He went in and he cut the painting in two. Now if you cut Picasso's painting in two, or even...
... good dinner.' 'I am not hungry,' said the boy. 'I have eaten seven ice cream cones and three frankfurters.' 'Where on earth did you get seven ice cream cones and three frankfurters?' asked his astounded mother. 'You didn't have any money.' 'I didn't need money. I just wandered all around the beach crying as if I was lost.' 'Crying as if I was lost.... ' Now the child has learned a great trick. If the...
..., but disease is not natural. Disease is simply an indication that something is going wrong in your nature. For example, you have eaten too much and there is pain in your stomach. This pain is not natural, you have done something unnatural. You have not slept for two, three days, because you were running after money and it was not possible for you to sleep. Or you were fighting an election and it was...
... all kinds of uglinesses that come in love, in so called love. Mulla Nasruddin married a very ugly woman, the ugliest possible. Naturally the friends were puzzled and they asked Mulla, 'You have money, you have prestige, you could have got any beautiful woman that you wanted, why have you chosen this ugly woman?' He said, 'There is a reason for it. I will never suffer from jealousy. This woman will...
... in the first kind of love where one wants to grab as many women as possible because it is an 'I-it' relationship. Just as you would like to have two houses, three houses, just as you would like to have more money in the bank, so you want to have many more women. In the ancient days it was the only way to know whether a man was rich or not - to see how many women he had. Kings used to have hundreds...
... intellectual and less and less intelligent. We force the child to be more and more prosaic and less and less poetic. We force the child to become more and more concerned about the non-essential - money, prestige, power, ambition - and more and more uninterested in the real joys of life. We turn the child from a playful being into a worker. The work ethic enters. Now duty becomes more important than love...
... way or other: become a famous painter or a poet or a politician; have more money than anybody else has; make a palace to live in so everybody feels jealous; in some way prove that you are special, you are not in an ordinary rut, you are not of the crowd, you are above the crowd; or become an ascetic, renounce the world; or stand on your head and become a yogi - but do something so that the whole...
... certificate of birth. But the child was alive and the child lived for two days. For forty-eight hours the child lived. No birth certificate was issued.. And then the child died. Now, no death certificate could be issued because when the child was never born how can you certify that he is dead? But up to now things were simple. But then the hospital demanded money from the parents for forty-eight hours of...
.... First the child should have been given a birth certificate, then a death certificate - then money for those forty-eight hours of care would have been possible. Death is possible only if the ego is born. If the ego is not there, there cannot be any death. Then life is eternal. Then life has a different quality to it - a quality of eternity, of immortality. The ego wants to be immortal. That is not...
... are very complex; sometimes you renounce the world because you are too infatuated with it; sometimes you donate money because you are greedy, and sometimes you look very brave because deep down is the coward. Watch! Man can go on deceiving himself and others by posing and pretending to be something else which he is not. That's why Jesus is so hard. He says,'If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with...
... Jesus that'This you did wrong.' When Mary Magdalene came to see Jesus, she brought a bottle of very costly perfume and she poured it on his feet. Judas immediately said,'This is not right. You should have prohibited her from doing that. This is not good; this is wasting. This much money could have fed the poor of the whole town for many days.' Of course, your intellect will also agree with Judas. His...
... argument was absolutely socialistic; he was a communist. He was speaking rightly, and he knew more economics than Jesus. It is true; why waste so costly a perfume? The feet can be washed with water. There was no need to pour such a costly perfume on them. The perfume could have been sold and the money could have been used for the poor of the town to be fed - perfectly true. The argument was right, but...
... is wrong. And the situation is the same in the marketplace. If you succeed in accumulating money, you are right. The priests became aware of the problem. The problem was: sinners succeed in life - then how to explain it? If sinners are to be punished, what kind of punishment is this? In fact, the saints seem to be punished and the sinners seem to be rewarded. How to explain this? The future life...
... discover his inner self. A really selfish person cannot be interested in money, cannot be interested in power, cannot be interested in prestige. If he is really selfish, his first interest will be: "Who am I?" The people who are interested in money and power and prestige don't know real selfishness. I also teach you real, authentic selfishness, because my own observation is: out of it arises...
... of being human; a little anger, a little love, a little joy. When he enters into the great temple of Jerusalem he feels so offended by the presence of the money-changers in the temple that he takes a whip in his hand and, alone, he drives all the money-changers out of the temple, turns their money-changing boards upside-down, creates chaos; that too is very human. That is Jesus' speciality. In the...
... pseudo, false, basically illusory - and not only that, but positively harmful, because it prevents scientific growth. If you are hungry you need better technology, not better prayers, not YAGNAS, not offerings to the fire god - that is utter stupidity. You are already poor and you are wasting money, food, purified butter in the fire, in the hope that gods will bless you. How long you have been hoping...
... the West. Their whole craze is... They have the money, they have the opportunity, they go on rushing towards the West. They go on for world tours they want to have all kinds of gadgets that the West is enjoying. They are not interested in religion, in spirituality. They may show lip service to religion and spirituality, because that is a traditional thing, conventional. But it is only lip service...
... to make better use of his father's money. Instead of getting two pounds of butter, he bought two pounds of sweets from the grocer. After he had hidden the sweets in the barn, Moise put on a sad face and went in to meet his father. "What happened?" asked the father. "Where is the butter?" "The dog," said little Moise, "the fucking beast snatched the butter away...
... be hurt. Just tell me where your jewels are." She said, "I don't keep them here. They are in the bank in the safe-deposit vault." "Where is all your silver then?" "I am sorry, but it is all out, being cleaned and polished." "Give me your money then." "I tell you," she said, "I don't keep any cash on hand." "Listen lady, I am...
... warning you - give me your money or I will rip it off you." And he started feeling her up and down. "I keep telling you," she said, "I don't have any money. But if you do that again I will write you a cheque." I have also heard another story; maybe it is about the same burglar... In the middle of the night a phone call came through at the police station. Somebody was in need of...
