... parable. This is the story of millions of people. You go on collecting. I have seen rich people collecting money, never enjoying it. Even poor people are not so poor sometimes. Rich people are very poor, they never enjoy. They say, 'A little more. Let us first collect enough.' But it is never enough, it can never be enough. Mind never says 'enough'. It says 'a little more, a little more, a little more...
...'. It goes on demanding more and more. It is a mad demand. You can collect money; that will not make you rich - unless you enjoy it. You can have millions of books; that will not make you learned - unless you enjoy them. You can have many flowers; that will not give you the sense of beauty - unless you dance with them in the air, in the wind, in the rain... unless you have a little dance with them...
...- oriented. "Give us more! Give us plenty! Better crops, better rain, more money, more health, more life, more longevity - give us more!" The whole Veda is nothing but desire written large. And sometimes very ugly. In the Veda not only do the so-called rishis go on praying "Give us more!" - they also pray: "Don't give to our enemies! Give more milk to MY cow, but let the enemy's...
... beautiful, there is no need to go on stuffing it with money, power, prestige, fame. This nothingness is so pure and so innocent and so beautiful that you are blessed in it. You start dancing in that nothingness. That nothingness starts a dance. Buddha hints you towards that dance. When Buddha was dying, Ananda started crying and he said, "What will I do now? You are leaving and I have not yet become...
.... And it takes the turn so suddenly that in a single line it is there in its totality. Let me tell you one joke: A Jewish synagogue was collecting money for a new building for the synagogue - the old one was rotten and was falling apart. They were doing everything that can be done to collect more money. They had sold lottery tickets and then the lottery was opened, and the president of the community...
... says. The caretaker leads him to the brain of a nuclear physicist, for 9000 rupees. "Much too expensive," Mulla replies. Finally the caretaker offers him the brain of a politician, for 20,000 rupees. "Why should I pay that kind of money for the brain of a politician?" Mulla protests. "But, sir," the caretaker explains, "this brain has never been used." The...
... sannyasin? Even now that you have become a sannyasin, you are puzzled - what has happened to you? What are you doing here? - such an intelligent person, what is he doing here? Ask Heeren: he is continuously thinking, such an intelligent person, almost a Jew, what is he doing here? He should be somewhere in the London market earning more and more money, having bigger and bigger houses - what is he doing...
..., money, house, a good wife, children -- he has everything. Why is he unhappy? He started laughing at the whole ridiculousness of it -- "I have nothing to be unhappy about, and I am unhappy. This is foolish!" He started laughing. The nurse heard him; she immediately ran to the doctor. And he saw that the nurse was shocked and she had run out of fear, so he started laughing even more. And then...
... -- otherwise, never. And it is not a question to be asked. Even if I say you have become enlightened, that won't help. The very question shows that you are still desiring. Enlightenment has become your greed. You may have been desiring other things before -- money, respectability, power, prestige; now you are desiring enlightenment. The desire has moved to a different object, but it has not changed. The...
... deceived is better than losing trust. Because trust gives you the eternal; and even if you are not deceived, what are you going to save? A little money, a house, this and that -- and death will take them away anyhow, so what is the fear? Just for these small things you throw trust? you throw prayer? you throw love? You say, "How can I love when people are so deceiving?" Let them be deceiving...
.... What can they deceive about? What can they rob? What have you got that they can rob? They can take away your money, something you used to possess, but if trust is left you will have your soul... and that is the kingdom of God. Question 3: SOME DAYS I FEEL LIKE A SWAMI AND OTHERS LIKE A MA. CAN I BE BOTH? OR WILL I GROW UP SCHIZY? The question is from Mallika. Everybody is both, and you have become...
... go on an ego trip through these powers, is there no more. Miraculous powers happen to you when you are not interested in them. This is the economy of existence. If you desire, you remain impotent; if you don't desire, you become infinitely potent. This I call the law of banking: if you don't have money, no bank is going to give you; if you have money, every bank is ready to give you. When you don't...
... condemned a woman by the very word, condemned her that she sells her body, that she sells her love, that her love is a commodity - if you have money you can purchase it. He said, "Amrapali has invited me for the coming rainy season, and I have told her that if my master allows me, I will stay in her palace. It does not matter...." There was great silence among the ten thousand monks. Nobody had...
... people start eating roots. I have heard that in days of famine, people have even eaten their own children, but I cannot call them evil. Mothers have even sold their children; because they could not gather the courage to eat their own child, they sold the child, knowing perfectly well it was going to be eaten by somebody else who was purchasing it. But with the money they have got they could purchase...
... happened; the whole city had been made ugly. But suddenly, as they were wondering about who had done it, they would hear the other brother say that if somebody wanted his windows or doors cleaned, he has all the expertise needed to clean them. So he would clean and earn the money. While he was cleaning and earning the money, the other brother would have moved to another city. And in this way they were...
... guru - you are to be his followers. The most cunning profession on the earth is that of the priest. Why the most cunning? - because he is exploiting a very innocent heart. A man who is seeking God, a man who is seeking purity, a man who is seeking truth - that man he is exploiting. If you exploit a man who is seeking money, there is not much difference between you and him because he is also seeking...
... money; there is not much difference. But if you exploit a man who was seeking truth, this is cunning - the most cunning thing possible, the most evil thing possible. Priests should think and say and prove whether they are really the representatives of God, or not really representatives of God. If they are representatives of anything they are representatives of the devil. But they have taken over, they...
