That is the meaning of the Eastern concept of rebirth: there is enough time; millions of lives have...
.... But that pygmy with the rifle - he doesn't seem to be doing a thing.' The Hunter said, 'Don't you worry about the pygmy. He earns his money.' So on and so forth it went, catching gorilla after gorilla, until finally he came across a gorilla who had been watching the whole proceedings. The Hunter climbed up the tree, and just as he was about to bash the gorilla over the head, the gorilla turned and...
... you in for something you have never desired. A disciple and the Master are in a great conflict; a great struggle goes on. And the disciple can win only if he is unfortunate. If the Master wins it the disciple is blessed, very fortunate. The struggle is because the disciple has come to the Master for wrong reasons - maybe he has come to seek some sort of spiritual ego. He has failed in life; money...
... did, I married a man whom I do not love, whom I never hope to love, but who has enough riches so that about money I am not going to have any trouble.

... completely that you are missing the roses. Are you happy?" She said, "I am not, that's why I have come to you from the Philippines.

... lives, that this is not the right way to live. Unless one starts moving towards God, life remains empty, impotent. The disciple has to be shocked, shaken, out of his dreams - dreams of money and power politics and prestige - and he has to be given a new dream, the ultimate dream, in which ALL dreams will be consumed. The ultimate dream is to know truth, to know that which is, to know that from which...
... of The Buddhas revere the memory of all those great heroes who have attained to truth. In Pythagoras' language, the hero means one who has become enlightened, who has attained the truth.

You can earn money...
... should not be only food, should not be only sex, should not be only money, should not be only power. It should not be any ONE thing, it should be many things, the whole variety. All the dimensions should remain available, then you will be rich. A passionate millionaire has fallen in love and broken women's hearts countless times. He begins each letter to his new sweethearts: "My darling, and...
... will find these people everywhere. There are people who think only of money - as if their whole life has only one goal: to leave in the world as big a bank balance as possible. There are people who only want some political power. Their whole life is devoted to only one thing: how to become the president of a country, or the prime minister of a country. These are obsessed people. They have missed...
... about nothing. Kierkegaard never got married. One foolish woman was in love with him... must have been foolish, because he was an ugly man in the first place, and a strange type, eccentric, who lived in the darkness of his room. Once a month he had to go out because his father, before he died, had put money in the post office and made an arrangement that every month Kierkegaard could draw a certain...
... amount. He knew that Kierkegaard was not going to earn any money; he would simply die in his room, so his father sold everything and deposited it in the post office. That's why Kierkegaard had to go out once every month; the first day of the month he would go out. He lived in Copenhagen, and the whole town waited because it was a rare opportunity - Kierkegaard coming out of his room. The children used...
... temple of Dakshineshwar, in Calcutta, on the banks of the Ganges; it is one of the most beautiful shrines. She had enough money and enough of everything, but no brahmin was ready to worship in her temple because that temple was made by an untouchable. So that temple had also become untouchable, and the god in the temple, he had also become untouchable - and these brahmins are the people who say that it...
... is all playfulness. Even God becomes untouchable because the temple statue has been purchased by the money of an untouchable. Rani Rasmani never entered the temple, knowing perfectly well that if she entered the temple then there would be no possibility of finding a brahmin priest. She never touched anything of the temple. She used to come just to the boundary of the temple and bow down from there...
..., very powerful, so when a person becomes fed up with the world, feels frustrated with the world, sees that there is nothing there, and starts thinking about religion, again the old habit works: he again starts looking for God outside. He was looking for money; now he looks for God. First he was looking for political power; now he looks for religious power. But he looks outside. His old habit remains...
... you knock at the doors of reality. From there comes the realization of that which is. And you have been gone so far in the outside world - after money, after power, after sex, after this and that - that it takes very long to come back. And you come back very reluctantly. I have heard: A moonshiner in the Georgia hills was caught redhanded by a posse of revenue agents. The moonshiner, despite his...
... of quality, the difference is of having less money or more. With the ignorant and the knowledgeable it Is the same. The real difference happens when there is a Buddha around; then you know the difference of quality. He functions from a different level altogether.

... house," replied Joey. "And what about money?" inquired Suzy's mother. "Well," said Suzy, "I get one dollar a week and Joey gets one dollar a week, and I have always heard you say that two can live cheaper than one." "And what about children? Have you thought about having children?" asked Joey's mother. "Oh, we have decided to wait a little while with...
... whatsoever you get goes on enhancing the ego. If you get money, your ego immediately exploits it. If you get knowledge, your ego jumps on it and becomes more knowledgeable. If you succeed in anything, the ego.... Whatsoever you do, the ego goes on absorbing everything that comes to it. It goes on eating it, and goes on becoming bigger and bigger. When you come to me for the first time and take sannyas, I...
... DEEPER, TWISTING IN MY GUT. BUT SOMETIMES I KNOW I AM A FOOL AND IN THOSE MOMENTS CAN HEAR THE BIRDS AND SEE THE SKY. Empathy comes, compassion, love comes, but it comes only when you are a fool. That's why everybody thinks that lovers are foolish, blind, hypnotized by each other. Love is a sort of foolishness.
