... Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. The whole of life is a means. And the moment you start thinking of something other than god as a goal, you start going astray. Money can become the goal, then the person has gone astray. Nothing is wrong in money itself - it is perfectly good, useful - but it should remain the means; it should not become the end. And every means has to be dedicated to one...

... they break down there is no wonder; if they go mad, there is no wonder. They are running in all directions... at the same time! They want money, they want power, they want prestige, they want this, they want that, and they want god too. Their life becomes fragmentary, disintegrated. It is a miracle how people go on managing to keep themselves together. But that togetherness is only an appearance...

... doors open and life becomes full of sunshine. Immediately the flowers that have never bloomed start blooming and suddenly the spring is there. In India the colour of orange is the symbolic colour for the spring. It is the colour of spring. Hence it has been chosen for those who have decided to be blissful, who have decided to renounce misery. I don't ask you to renounce money, I don't ask you to...

But the other, the younger one, left the town. He gambled, he drank; he moved in wrong company. He destroyed all his money, he destroyed all his character, he destroyed his health. One day news came that he had...

Now look what has happened! This is absolutely partial. And that vagabond who has destroyed the whole money earned by your father with much hard labour is coming back a beggar. His whole life savings he gambled. Now he is coming...

... generals, the money-mad people - they make really much fuss in the world. They have caused the world to be in a neurotic state, but nothing comes out of them. And people who have renounced the world, they don' t make any fuss. They keep quiet but their quietness is dead. My approach towards life is paradoxical because life is paradoxical. I would never like you to move into one extreme totally. Keep...

... refutation] R. Papa says: The inference is really drawn from an 'attached oath'2  [caused by the evidence of] one witness. But [to this also it could be objected]: Is not the 'attached oath' of one witness more weighty, in that [in this case] one oath carries with it another oath,3  while several witnesses only oblige the defendant to pay money?4  — The case of 'his own mouth' will...

But if he sanctify the field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

... field leased for early sowing;7  the former, to one leased for late sowing.8 R. JUDAH SAID: IF HE LEASES IT ON A MONEY RENTAL. A certain man leased a field by the bank of the River Malka Saba9  on a money rental, for sowing garlic. But the River Malka Saba became dammed up.10  When he came before Raba, he said to him, 'It is unusual for the River Malka Saba to become dammed; this is a...

JUDAH SAID: IF HE LEASED IT ON A MONEY RENTAL, THEN IN BOTH CASES HE MAY MAKE NO DEDUCTION? — He replied: None pay heed to this ruling of R. Judah. MISHNAH.

Each individual gets a pension. But you should understand that when you have no work and enough money, what are you going to do? They gamble, they are all drunkards, all kinds of drugs, prostitution, and no...

And we purchased the land, we paid money; you invaded the land, you killed people, innocent people. You are criminals. If anybody needs permission to live in America, it is you -- from the American president to the last American beggar. And if you really mean what you say in your constitution...

...; you came a little earlier. And you have committed all kinds of crimes; we have simply purchased the land. And you were there, you could have purchased it by offering more money -- it was a simple business matter." But the American government will not say this. And America must remain the only country in the world where people like the poor red Americans cannot revolt. It is such a cunning...

... strategy that you are giving them money. They think, "Revolt? for what? We are getting money, enough money, no work... enjoy, dance, sing, take all kinds of drugs. No problems of worrying about poverty or anything - - why bother about revolution?" The very idea is not possible. And they are all drunkards, opium addicted, lotus eaters. They are not in a position to fight a revolution. Their...

... revolution has been killed, their spirit has been killed by money. Because I said it clearly.... And because the land we purchased had belonged to an ancient red Indian tribe which lived just nearby in a forest.... And they had a prophecy from the old days: that a man from the East, with his followers wearing red clothes, would come to this land and free them from the slavery imposed on them by the...

This is good for rich countries, luxurious countries who have time, and who have money and who can go on.... One innocent person should not be punished, even if ninety-nine criminals are released. The idea is good, but not for a country like India...

All efforts that go into war, and all money that goes into war have to be put into technological and scientific development.

The same commodity in America will cost eight times or ten times more. If it is produced in India, it will be cheap. Use the Indian labor. Indian labor is unemployed. And tell the whole world, "You can invest your money, your money is safe." Make it a guarantee, a...

And these countries will have cheaper commodities than...

And he was collecting enormous amounts of money. All the Christian churches were against him, parents were against him. They found a small flaw; that over three years' time he has not paid seven thousand dollars of taxes...

... look around.... The same churches who were against Reverend Moon - in fact, these churches forced the tax department and the government: "This man should be punished. He is putting the money given to the church into his own account." Now he is punished, and he is punished only because he is not an American. Otherwise American law provides that if a man fails to pay two thousand dollars per...

... year he can be forgiven; he can be given a chance. There is no need to punish him, he should just give the money to the tax department. Over three years' time, seven thousand dollars is not much of a crime. He should be given a chance to give the money - and he was ready to. These churches forced the government, because they wanted him to be punished, so that his congregation disperses. Now the same...

After this decision of the courts that Reverend Moon should be punished, sent to jail, they must have freaked out, because they have been doing the same thing on a larger scale. Bishops have bank accounts through which church money moves. Seeing the possibility...

I will go ... and I will go alone, no bodyguards, no army, no advisers." But he took with him a big bag full of diamonds and rubies and emeralds, just to show to the Sufi mystic: "This is only a sample. I have so much money but it is not...

The king went there, got down from his horse, touched the feet of the Sufi mystic and asked him, "Can you help me?" The Sufi mystic said, "What do you want? I will help you immediately." He had heard...

And it was really a laughing matter: the king was huffing and puffing and shouting, "Catch him! Why are you just laughing?" -- and still running because that old fellow is taking away all his money and he is going...

The king said, "Strange is your way ... but it is true, I am feeling very peaceful, as I have never felt in my life. And the trouble is that this money was always with me, and I never felt so happy as I am feeling now." The Sufi said, "I have solved your problem. Your problem is that you have got...

This is more true about your life itself: because you have it, you have started taking it for granted. It is too obvious it is yours. You are not at all concerned that tomorrow it may not be yours, or even the next second." The day you become aware that death...

He has lost himself, he has sold himself in the marketplace for a few pieces of gold. If one recognizes this, one stops accumulating knowledge and starts dropping all so-called knowledge. A simple criterion has to be used: whatever is not your experience is not true. It may be the...

... must have had something in mind when he agreed to pay President Wilson's former sweetheart $40,000.00 out of his own pocket. He paid the money out of his own pocket in the hope that it might bring to pass a dream close to his heart - a Talmudist ("Jew") on the United States Supreme Court on which none had ever served. The day soon arrived when President Wilson was presented with the necessity of...

President Johnson cannot plead ignorance of the facts. Though a very close mutual friend, this author kept President Johnson constantly informed on developments in the Middle East...

... States taxpayers' money by referring to a "commitment." President Johnson knows that he is in error. The only commitment the taxpayers in the United States recognize is President Johnson's commitment to serve the best interests of the grass roots population of the United States. According to the Pentagon Papers he was not very successful in that respect. President Johnson does not display mature...

Is President Nixon serving two masters? President Nixon is as guilty as the other six masters of deception who lied the United States into the...

... desperate predicament in which the United States today finds itself in the Middle East. President Nixon is both an eminent lawyer and President of the United States.  President Nixon cannot produce any evidence of a legitimate "commitment" to anyone to support President Nixon's generous use of United States taxpayers' money for financing the permanent possession by thieves of their stolen loot. Does...

.... President Nixon's generosity has reached epidemic proportions. Each of the additional five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000.00) of United States taxpayers' money he donates to the so-called State of Israel is that many more nails in the coffin of the United States. These seven masters of deception mock the elementary and equitable principles upon which the United States was founded when they throw...

... hard-earned United States taxpayers' dollars by the billions to criminals in possession of their stolen loot as if it were stage money. Have they no shame or conscience? When there were civil wars recently in the Congo, in Nagana, in Pakistan and other countries in this century, did the United States "recognize" the populations as independent indigenous populations who planned to secede and form...

The Rothschilds refused to invest one cent of their money in the company which obtained the concession to construct the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal was completed in 1869. It, from the very start, proved a great success. The Rothschilds swindled a forty percent (40%) interest in the Suez Canal...

The Rothschilds in London promised the Zionists unlimited financial assistance with which to develop Palestine, but on one condition - that as soon as Palestine was turned over to the Zionists, they apply for admission to the British Empire as a member. The...

... feeling of being the doer falls away, then all of life's diseases fall away. Otherwise there are many traps in life. Running after money is also the running of the doer. Running after power is also the running of the doer. Running after fame is also the running of the doer. You want to show something to the world. Many people come to me saying, "Tell us a way to show something to this world."...

... observe the doer disappears, only the witness remains. With the doer gone everything that got energy from the doer, got strength from it will fall away. Without the doer how can one run after money, run after power? Without the doer where is the ego? These will all fall away by themselves. Master just one thing - the witness. There is nothing else to be done. Everything else happens by itself...

Will you drop your ego? What else will you drop from what you actually have? Certainly it is possible for you to drop what you have. Let sannyasins ask this question, those that have become sannyasins. You have...

... with me, because he keeps the money, I don't touch money. He has to go somewhere else in the morning, so I won't be able to come tomorrow morning." This is just hilarious! If you need money, what difference does it make whether it is in your pocket or in someone else's? And this becomes another bondage - the one who keeps the money in his pocket is better off than you, at least he can go...

... wherever he wants. It is a peculiar situation: unless this man comes along, you cannot come because you need to have money for the taxi - but you don't touch money! So you are having this man sin for you? Commit your own sins. This is great fun - you will ride in the taxi and he will go to hell for it! Have a little compassion on him. This is the great connection of the worldly and the yogi! All your...

... start running away. Who will organize, who will make arrangements? They will all go. But the worldly go on taking care of the sadhus, the sadhus go on taking care of the worldly. It is mutual. The real wise man can be neither a renunciate nor indulgent. He knows only that I am the witness. Now what difference does it make whether the money is in his pocket or in someone else's pocket? He is the...
