..., the same again; the same in this life, the same in the next life, the same in the life after that life - the story of the past is the same, the story of the future is the same. The same sexual desire, the same anger, the same hate, the same friendship, the same enmity, the same earning of money, the same making of a house - and after doing all this one finds one day that a gust of wind has come and...
... soul never commits any theft. There is the body's hunger, its pain, and its misery; or one's child is dying and there is no money for medicine - one commits the theft. All this is a theft because of the body. Up until now we have not been able to differentiate between the thief from the body and the thief from the mind. A thief from the body means that it is the society that is criminal. A thief from...
... body alone - just the body alone - never goes out to commit any theft. Even if you slip money in the pocket of a dead body, it won't be called a thief when discovered. What does a corpse have to do with theft? Because it is a corpse, it cannot perform actions as such. Mind alone also cannot be a thief. No matter how much a mind may think, it cannot commit a theft alone. Not only that, if there was no...
... wiped out. If I have committed a theft I will give a donation" - from the same money. Other than that where would the money come from anyway? A big thief will become a big donor. He will steal one hundred thousand rupees and donate ten thousand rupees. Then there can be no fear in stealing, because you can donate to destroy the effect of the theft. You can murder someone and then give birth to a...
..., there was no reason to weep. His tears dried up - and the house was still burning, the same house. But now that he thought it was insured, the relationship of 'mine' had shifted from the house to the insurance money. But then the son came running to the scene and saw his father standing in front of the burning house laughing. The son said, "I definitely did go to the fire insurance office, but...
... yesterday. Something will tug on you. Something will tell you to just forget it. It feels very awkward in these orange clothes. I give you orange clothes just to provoke a little harassment, nothing else. If you are a thief you won't be able to remain a thief so easily. If you are mad for money, greedy, then your greed will not have the same strength. If you are in politics, running after the prestige of...
..., youth disappears, money is spent; all is gone but the inner nectar is saved, then all is saved. He who loses the inner loses all. He who saves the inner, saves all. But usually when a Jaina goes to the West he returns corrupted. Why? He was already corrupted - a paper flower, it was false, made through conditioning. Understand the difference between culture and religion. Religion is your inner nature...
... courageous. You also want to have fun like them, but you must pay the price for that and you are afraid to pay. You too are a thief, but one needs courage to steal and your courage is gone. You too want to cheat and make a pile of money, but one could be caught cheating, arrested, so you stop. If you are assured that no one will catch you, that there is no one to catch you, there is no fear of being...
... ordinary reasons like seeking health. You are ill and Jesus will cure you: or you are poor and Jesus will give you money - his blessings will become money to you; or you don't have a child and he can give you a child. The lower the aim, the more you will miss, because the lower the aim, the more you are in the deep valley - and Jesus exists on the top of the hill: the distance goes on becoming more and...
... cannot find a more materialistic man than the Indian. He lives for money, is greedy for possessions; it is impossible for him to give anything, he has forgotten how to give, he clings to everything. But he calls the whole world materialist, "And we are spiritualists" - a lie, a patent lie, but repeated so many times it looks like truth. It is false. Everybody invents his private lie also...
... wastage. You have the money, and nothing has come. You have the power and the prestige and the respectability, and you remain empty - in fact, your whole life is gone, has gone down the drain. Now only death is waiting. Of course you will die as a successful man and there will be reports in the newspaper... but you never lived! You will die as a successful man, but you never lived truly, because life is...
... be the same again. The old values - the old life, the competition, the market the money, the power, the prestige, the politics - all seem meaningless. Once you have tasted a little of death, then you know that all this is futile; it has no intrinsic value. One starts seeking for meaning for the first time. So go immediately, mm? For a few days he will be very vulnerable. If you catch hold of him...
.... Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. [A sannyasin said she was uncertain whether she should be in a relationship or not and whether the man she was with was the right one for her.] Ordinarily a relationship always disturbs. Unless you are capable of remaining alone, a relationship always disturbs. It is almost like a banker. If you have money, the banker will give it to you. If you don't have it, they...
... to excess is foolish and that one has to learn a balance - this is the art of living.... ] I have heard about one sufi mystic, Byazid. He came back home one day and he was very hungry, so he asked for food. The friend and disciple who was looking after him said, 'There is nothing in the house, and I have no money sol couldn't purchase anything.' Byazid said nothing. He simply sat there, prayed to...
... one cannot understand how one could have believed in money so much, in power politics so much, in name and fame so much. How could one have believed in the body so much knowing that death is happening every day, all around? How one went on living as if one was not going to die at all! But right now when you are metaphysically asleep all these things seem to be very real. Somebody insults you and it...
... ego needs the marketplace. The ego can exist only in relationship; the ego cannot exist without relationship. Just as a bridge needs two banks to exist... It cannot exist only with one bank, if there is only one bank the bridge will fall. And that is the beauty of being alone: when you are tremendously alone, all the bridges that connect you - with money, power, people, prestige - start evaporating...
