... shoemaker. But they are absolutely wrong. Life makes no discriminations ... presidents or shoemakers, toilet cleaners or prime ministers, it does not matter at all as far as life is concerned. Death knocks them off with equality. Death is the only communist in the world; it does not care whether you have money or you are a beggar, you are educated or uneducated. You cannot say, "Just wait, I am...
... - your cook ..." He said, "My experience is that the moment you become friendly with the servants they start taking advantage of you. Then somebody"s mother is sick and he needs some money, some advance. Somebody"s father has died, somebody is going to be married .... As far as I am concerned," he told me, "nobody"s mother has ever died, nobody"s father has ever...
... not is the desire for more and more. That is the way mind functions in every field of life. If you are earning money, the mind goes on saying more and more. If you are after power, mind goes on saying more and more. If you are doing meditation, mind goes on saying more and more. That "more and more" is the very basic quality of the mind. And mind is always serious. It disturbs everything...
... wants to tell it to others. It is said that if you want your wife to hear you, don't say it loudly and don't say it to her. Whisper it to somebody else and she will hear everything.

... does not arise, only that of immense richness. I told you that during three days we waste so much money for war preparations, that it is enough for one year's food, clothing, shelter - every ordinary need - for the whole of humanity. Just in three days... and these figures are five years old - it may now be just one day. Every day we are wasting so much that the whole earth could live on it for one...
... touching the bag and feeling ... All our illusions -- our friendship, our family, our society, our money, our power -- disappear suddenly the moment you see there is no escape, now the dewdrop has fallen into the ocean. And in this moment, without your thinking, you start clapping and a loud laughter explodes from your being: "I am the ocean. I have been thinking up to now that I am the dewdrop, and...
... about anything in the world. A man with a poodle goes into a bar. After ordering a drink, he tells the bartender that he would like to buy some cigarettes. But the bartender replies that they have run out. So the man says, "That's alright, I will just send my dog across the street to get some." He reaches into his pockets for the money, and discovers that the smallest bill he has is a twenty...
... village that everybody would gather there -- and only one man was educated enough to read. Everybody was afraid: A telegram? That means some bad news. Otherwise, why should you waste money on a telegram? I learned from my very childhood that no news is good news. People were happy when they received no news from their relatives, from their friends or from anybody. That meant everything was going well...
... out his wallet and hands twenty dollars to the Jewish guy. A few minutes later the Jewish guy turns to the Polack and says, "Look, here I can't take this twenty dollars from you.
