... great storm arose and it appeared that there seemed to be no chance of surviving. Nasruddin had a beautiful palace, a marble palace of which he was very proud, in the capital of his country. Even the king was jealous of him and he had offered him whatsoever money he wanted to take, "but give the palace to me." But Nasruddin was insistent that he was not going to give the palace to anybody at...
... any price. Great offers had come, but he had always refused. Now that his life was in danger he prayed to God and he said, "Listen! I will give the palace to the poor. I will sell the palace and distribute the money to the poor." It so happened that the moment he said it the storm started subsiding. As the storm started subsiding, Nasruddin started having second thoughts: This is too much...
...! And maybe the storm was going to subside anyway. I have unnecessarily risked my palace. But then he was in for a big surprise: the storm started rising again. Then he really became afraid. He said, "Listen! Don't be bothered with my thoughts - I am a foolish man - but whatsoever I have said I am going to do. I promise you that I will sell the house and distribute the money to the poor."...
... nothing would be left. It was almost like an entertainment for the people; people enjoyed seeing it very much. The devil should learn something from Adolf Hitler. He can earn much money if he makes a few windows in hell and sells tickets. The tickets will be sold out for almost one century ahead. Who would not like to have a look into hell? The priests have based their religion on two basic, ugly...
... professor, "would you care to tell the class what happens when a body is immersed in water?" "Sure," said Miss Jones, "the telephone rings." An experienced prostitute tells a younger beginner that the moment to ask men for money is "when their eyes go glassy." The next day she asks the beginner how she made out. "Rotten," she says, "when their eyes go...
... right, but we cannot say that he is doing right because he has no right consciousness to do it: the very foundation is missing. His action may on the surface appear to be right, but his intention cannot be right; and it is intention that is decisive. He may donate money to the poor, and of course everybody will say that this is right. Donating money to the poor - who will say it is not right? But...
... service! And on the surface they are good people, nice people, very helpful people, doing good works in every possible way, but deep down their desire is nothing but a great greed, a greed projected towards the other world. They are so greedy - more greedy than the ordinary people, because the ordinary people are satisfied with a little bit of money, a good house, a garden, a car, this and that; a...
... more for the state, for the great state. And there is a bureaucracy, the communist bureaucracy, which has replaced the capitalists. There is no need for communism to destroy poverty; science can do it very easily, because a single machine can do the work of thousands of people. But it is not being allowed because it goes against the vested interests, and those interests are pouring their money into...
... the churches. Who has made the pope "bejeweled and bedecked pontiff', Krishna Prem? Who has made Vatican the richest religion in the world, the richest church in the world? From where all that money has come? It is bribery. It is the rich people who go on bribing the church, and the church goes on preaching things which look very religious but are basically political and economical, and are...
... hundreds of letters from South Africa: all the letters are concerned... somebody is suffering from a ghost, somebody has been put under a spell, somebody is afraid of a black magician - so they need me to protect them and send them a mantra which can save their life. Now, I cannot do all this nonsense. When Indians write to me, they write always about money. They want money - they want their sons to go...
... all inner phenomenon, it is such interiority, that you cannot see it from the outside. You have to go into it, you have to be it. They argued and they argued. ONE SAID, 'HE HAS PROBABLY LOST HIS FAVOURITE ANIMAL.' That is reason, always thinking of possessions: of the house, of the car, of the animal, of the farm, of the factory, of the money, of the power and prestige. That is reason. reason is a...
... help me to come out of it?' Even if you go to the mountain you go with your money- mania. This is reason, this is head. Head is the most foolish thing in your being because it is concerned with foolish things, with rubbish. Nothing is valuable that passes through your head. It is a junkyard. ANOTHER SAID, 'NO, HE IS PROBABLY LOOKING FOR HIS FRIEND.' This is the man of heart; this is the metaphor for...
... has a beauty... the beauty is that it is a non-exploitative joy. If you want to have more money you will be exploiting others. You cannot have more money without making somebody poorer somewhere. If you want to have more political power you will be snatching it away from somebody else. All joys except meditation are exploitative. Even if you are in love with a beautiful woman it is exploitative...
..., aggression. We are dominated by people who should be called 'The Achievers'. Of course, if you want to achieve something you cannot be lazy, certainly. If you want to have more money than others, you cannot be lazy - money won't come that way. Money never comes to lazy people, that's certain. If you want to become a prime minister, it does not happen easily; you have to work hard for it. You have to go to...
... dropped out of the world one day; money, power, prestige - he had dropped those goals. Then he had put all his energies into one goal - enlightenment, NIRVANA. Now he saw the point, that this is again an ego-goal, again an ego-trip: 'I am again trying to achieve something.' Seeing this, he must have laughed. He dropped that idea too; he relaxed. That night a young woman had come to worship the tree. She...
... private hands and will serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land banks. What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the goyim into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the goyim will bow down before us, if for no other reason but...
