.... All the years I was a teacher, not a single student to whom I had given the authority had taken any part of it, although I had told them, "It is up to you. If you feel like having it all, you can have it. If you want to keep a part of it you can keep it. And it is not lent to you so that you have to return it, because I don't want to be bothered by remembering who owes how much money to me. It...
.... Because my name is involved, the price immediately goes so high. The owner is asking nine million dollars for the castle! He cannot sell it for nine million even if he tries for his whole life. And this is not all - he is asking almost double the price.... The country has two parties, and each party wants some money so there will be no problem from anybody - the ruling party gets money, the opposition...
... party gets money. And it is not only once; every time there is an election they are saying that we have to give at least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to each party. And these people teach about morality, purity, character - and this is their character. It has been a good round. I have just sent Hasya and Jayesh to the last country. I have sent the message to the prime minister: "We were...
... mountainous path and to go astray is very simple, because your mind is all for going astray. You have to be very alert that your mind cannot take you away from the reality, that your mind does not succeed in taking you astray. Your mind is your most unfortunate thing. "My wife is always asking for money, money, money," complained Hymie Goldberg to a friend. "Last week she wanted two hundred...
... dollars. The day before yesterday she asked me for one hundred and fifty. And this morning she wanted one hundred dollars." "That's crazy," said his friend. "What does she do with all that money?" "I don't know," said Hymie, "I never give her any." Your mind will demand continuously: Do this, go this way. Don't listen to it. The moment a person stops...
... people's things. Everything from my shoe up to my head. Everything is made by my people. Hundreds of watches have been presented to me. They have all been given to the commune. I don't possess them. I have not brought a single one. Just only one watch that I have brought with me is this, which has no value in money. But people are stupid. Q: YOU ONCE HAVE HAD CALLED YOUR SANNYASINS IN GERMANY THE MOST...
... YOU FEEL ANY KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS YOUR SANNYASINS WHO HAVE LIVED IN YOUR COMMUNE; INVESTED MONEY, SOMETIMES THEIR INHERITANCE, AND THEIR WORKING POWERS INTO THE PROJECTS OF THE COMMUNE. DO YOU FIND ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR GUIDANCE OR OTHERWISE FOR THOSE NOW ARE CONFUSED AND DON'T QUITE KNOW WHERE THEY STAND (INAUDIBLE) A: Responsibility according to me is something individual. I can be...
... your reward. There is no other reward beyond that. Whether the project fails or succeeds does not matter." So I never feel responsible for anybody, and I don't make anybody else feel responsible for me. There are people who have given their whole inheritance. I have also given my whole life. Who is responsible? They are not responsible because I have given my whole life to them, and their money...
... is not more valuable than my life. With my life I can find thousands of people like them. With their money they cannot find another me. But I don't think that they are responsible for it. It was my joy. I loved it each moment of it, and I will continue to give my life to my people, to the very last breath, without making anybody feel guilty that he is responsible. Same I expect from them. I had...
... because it is a big country and you can go on moving from one city to another city. But the question is... I have also experienced again and again, without any exception, that they were all insensitive people. They were not concerned at all with any spiritual growth or what was happening to the person. Their whole interest was money. So what you have seen in California was a technician who knows a...
... simple method of hypnotism and can earn some money out of it. He is not bothered, he is not interested in these people or their past lives; his interest is the money. And moreover he will be doing the same show five times a day - on this street corner, on that street corner, in this theater, in that auditorium. It happens just like doctors become insensitive in hospitals. The whole day they are seeing...
... on talking nonsense to make you interested, but the people who are going through the trauma are being used. It is shameful; it should not be done. Hypnosis has to be taken out of the hands of professionals, people who are using it for money. It has to become a temple method, something holy. It is something holy. Question 4: BELOVED OSHO, IT IS TRUE THAT LISTENING TO YOU I OFTEN FEEL SURROUNDED BY...
... tradition, hence for me all the traditions are the same; but because I don't belong to any tradition I can see clearly the diseases. When you belong to a tradition you cannot see; your eyes are clouded, you are prejudiced. Repression brings hypocrisy, and you can see it in India everywhere. People will talk that the world is illusory and the same time they will be as greedy about money as nobody else in...
... the world is. This is strange - but not really. If you go deep into it, because they are denying something natural... The world is given to you by God. If you deny it you will have to become obsessed with it; every denial becomes obsession. "Renounce the money!" these people go on saying... If you go to Vinoba Bhave, who represents Hindu tradition, and you take a few notes in your hand, he...
... will immediately close his eyes - he does not see money. Now poor paper, just printed, and makes the Hindu MAHATMA SO afraid that he closes his eyes! It cannot be the currency notes; it must be some deep fear, some greed. He does not touch money. On the one hand these people go on saying that gold is nothing but dust, but they will not touch gold. I had asked Vinoba when I met him... He was very...
... just few jokes for you! The first: A man who had lost all his money at the gambling tables in Las Vegas begged a dime from another patron to use the men's room. One of the stalls was not locked, so he saved the dime, and then used it to play a slot machine. Luckily he hit the jackpot. With the money he tried another machine, and again he won. Fortune continued to smile on him as he went and played...
... the first time.... Six years before he had dropped the kingdom and all the material things of the world, all possessions. He had carried only one longing - for truth. This night, with the full moon in the sky, he dropped that longing too, because that longing had become his desire, and whenever there is even a small desire, mind continues. It does not matter whether you desire money or God, it does...
... Melvin. "In the dark?" The Medical Corporation of America decides that there is only one way to cure AIDS, and that is with money - lots of money. So they arrange with all three TV networks in America to have a giant AIDS-Telethon, to take place on Saturday night. The idea is that Rock Hunk, the famous movie star, will make love to five hundred women on TV, while the American public phones in...
... its pledges. On the big night, Rock Hunk gets up to four hundred and seventy-five women and the money is pouring in. Rockefeller Foundation phones in and donates millions, NASA phones in and donates the funds for the space program. Even Ronald Reagan phones in and donates Nancy's dress fund. Money is pouring in, and it looks like AIDS is going to be cured for sure. But when Rock gets to four hundred...
... and ninety-five, he passes out. They throw buckets of iced water on him and he staggers to his feet and wobbles over to the next woman. At four hundred and ninety-eight, it looks like he is really finished, but the woman somehow manages to arouse him, and the money keeps pouring in. But at four hundred and ninety-nine, Rock passes out, and no one is able to wake him up. The whole country is furious...
... to rush. This was a totally different world view, the world view of timelessness. The East has never been worried about time, about lack of time. The East has never said that time is money. The whole idea that time is money is just stupid. Time as such exists not. Time exists in your desire, in your mind. That which really exists is eternity. It is always there, it has always been there. So the...
... America, nowhere else. The author says in the introduction: 'Are you unemployed? Are you ill? Are you without a woman or without a man? Are you poor? Would you like to have better health, more money? Would you like to win over a woman or a man? Would you like to defeat your enemy? Or anything? Then here is the key.' And this man is pretending to be a spiritual Master. 'Here is the key.' And as a proof...
... path and the possibilities of going astray; who is aware of how many pitfalls there are; who is aware of how many wrong turns there are; who is aware of how many false doors there are and who is aware of the arduous work that one has to do. And a real Master will not promise you instant enlightenment - that is just stupid. There are no short cuts. One has to grow slowly, patiently. Money may be...
... possible instantly - you can become a thief - but you cannot steal God, you cannot become that kind of thief. Money is possible - you can deceive the income tax officer, or the income tax department - but how are you going to deceive God? Money is possible instantly if you use wrong means, but if you use wrong means in your spiritual growth you will be self-destructive. Wrong means are not possible there...
..., trying to make great effort to attain something which once attained they will not know what to do with. That's how people are running after money, after political power. Once you have it you don't know what to do with it. A woman was saying to another woman, "Are you not worried about your husband? He continuously goes on chasing women, any woman - and you know it!" And the other woman...
... money...and then they don't know what to do with it. The accidental man is foolish. The wise man moves deliberately, takes each step consciously. His life is a constant inquiry for truth. He does not go astray. He remains alert in every one of his acts - not because of others. He remains alert because it is only by being alert that he will become integrated, that he will become crystallized. THE FOOL...
... to manage for the money. He may have to borrow, it may take years for him to pay, but he has to purchase it. His ego is hurt. People are living imitatively, very carelessly. Among the Eskimos there is a tradition, a very beautiful tradition, that each year, the first day of the year, every family looks in the house for what is unnecessary and what is necessary - they sort things out. And only what...
... that to show him how little she cares for his money he can make love to her for as long as it takes the hundred thousand francs to burn. He comes back the next day with the money, lays ten bills out in a line with the ends just overlapping, lights the first one and leaps into bed with her. As the last bill burns away, she pushes him off her. "Well, I have had you," he says triumphantly...
... desire, a hope - you feel it, you have it, you are it. HE MEDITATES.... Buddha is not for prayer, he is for meditation, because prayer is again somehow a kind of desiring. When you pray, you desire. Prayer is always for the future; prayer means you are asking for something. You may not be asking for money, you may be asking for God himself, but it is the same. Ask, and you have moved away. Meditation...
... stop either, because it makes you frightened to stop. Everybody else is doing so much, everybody else is achieving, reaching, fulfilling their ambitions, how can you stop? You have to go on, and you have to go on with great speed and great gusto and enthusiasm. And you don't know where you are going, what the goal is. What do you really want to achieve in life? Money? And even if you achieve much...
... money what will you do with it? You can purchase more misery, of course, when you have more money; that's what you are going to do. You will go on purchasing the same things that you are purchasing now. Of course, you can purchase them in bigger quantities, that's all. You will live in bigger houses, but you will live; the house is not going to live it. If you are anxious in a small house you may be...
... more anxious in a bigger house, because you will have more space to be anxious in. If you are ignorant, utterly ignorant of yourself, how is money going to help? How is being famous going to help? You may become a world-renowned person, but that will not change anything. Your inner darkness will remain the same; it may even become darker. The first thing Buddha says is: ...THE MASTER DIRECTS HIS...
... woman, more money, more power, more prestige, so these are the things I also need. Unless I have all these things, how can I be happy?" You make your happiness conditional. And the moment a man makes his happiness conditional he is doomed; he will remain unhappy his whole life. Happiness is not conditional; nothing is needed to be happy. Only to be alive is needed - and that you are, you already...
.... Many thoughts will crowd your mind, many things. The mind will say, "Why are you wasting your time? You could have earned a little money. At least you could have gone to a film, entertained yourself, or you could have relaxed and gossiped. You could have watched the TV or listened to the radio, or at least you could have read the newspaper you have not seen. Why are you wasting your time?"...
... confusion. I am doing nothing, just clearing the whole confusion that has been put into your mind. They say: Don't desire the world, don't desire worldly objects, don't desire money, don't desire power, prestige - desire God, desire enlightenment, desire heaven, desire virtue. But when you desire virtue, when you desire God, nothing has changed in you. Only the object of desire has changed. Desiring has...
... remained the same. First you were desiring money, now you desire God. The object has changed, now you have an other-worldly object, but have you gone through any transformation? You still desire. The nature of desire is the same, it doesn't depend on the object. God or money makes no difference. You desire - that is the thing. Because in desire, you have moved into the future. In desire you have already...
.... That's how you miss! Desire allows you space to move into nowhere; and you are always here, your concrete existence is always in the present. But the desire helps to create other worlds which are not. Look at a man desiring money. He has ten thousand rupees - he cannot enjoy them because he is desiring ten lakhs of rupees. He is miserable. Those ten thousand don't make him rich. He is miserable. Those...
.... You understand - it has disappeared. Not that you drop desire, because I know, how can you drop it? You can drop it only if some other desire is substituted. If I say: Drop the desire of money because then you can attain to God! - you can drop it, because I am giving you another object to desire. You can drop the old - because with the old you yourself have already become frustrated and fed up. Now...
... always make a joke out of it because they cannot understand. For them God is truth. For the people of the heart God is love. And for the people of the body, the world is God: their money, their house, their car, their power, their prestige. A man who is body oriented needs a different type of religion. In fact only just now in the West, particularly in America, a new sort of work has started which is...
