... arising. There are two modes of life: one is the action mode you do something; the other is the reception mode - you simply receive. The action mode is outgoing. If you want more money you cannot just sit. It is not going to come that way. You will have to struggle for it, compete, and you will have to use all sorts of ways and means - legal, illegal, right, wrong. Money is not going to come by just...
... soul. They thought it was already there - So why worry, why bother? It is there. Any day we can find it, so let us in the meanwhile find other things which are not already there. Meanwhile, let us find beautiful women, more wine, more money, more power - things which are not there. So let us seek these. And the day we are fed-up with all this, at any moment, we will close our eyes and we will go in...
...?' Now, how can you kill a man who is talking business?" A Jew is a Jew: how can you kill a man when he is talking business? Then you forget all about the wife, that he was making love to the wife, when business comes. There are people for whom politics is more important than love - money, respectability, morality; a thousand things are there for a man. But a woman loves. She loves totally - that...
... priests protested that they never bet, but to please him they made a rather steep wager. Naturally the golf hustler won and the priests paid up. When they all returned to the locker rooms, the hustler was shocked to see their habits and offered to return the the money. "No, we made a bet and we stick to it. It will teach us a lesson," said the eldest priest. "Well," said the man...
...; says Dora, "I got married since I last saw you, Maggie." "Married are you? Really?" asks Maggie. "That's fine!" "Ah! Not so fine," says Dora. "He was a son-of-a-bitch!" "Married to a son-of-a-bitch?" asks Maggie. "That's bad!" "Ah! Not so bad," replies Dora. "He had pots of money!" "Money? A husband with...
... money?" asks Maggie. "That's fine!" "Ah! Not so fine," replies Dora. "He was tight with it!" "A husband with money and tight with it?" asks Maggie. "That's bad!" "Ah! Not so bad," replies Dora. "He built us a house!" "A house? With his money?" asks Maggie. "That's fine!" "Ah! Not so fine," explains...
... borrow and never lend money," and showed the book to the bum and said, "Shakespeare - Shakespeare says so. Look." The bum pulled out of his pocket a very dirty paperback and said to the man, "You sonofabitch - D. H. Lawrence." Beware of the mind. The mind goes on quoting, the mind knows all without knowing at all. The mind is a pretender. See into this phenomenon: this I call...
..., "I am separate." You ask: "My surrender is goal-oriented." The ego is always goal-oriented. It is always greedy, it is always grabbing. It is always searching for more and more and more; it lives in the more. If you have money it wants to have more money; if you have a house it wants to have a bigger house; if you have a woman it wants to have a beautiful woman, but it always wants...
... more. The ego is constantly hungry. It lives in the future and in the past. In the past it lives as a hoarder - "I have this and this and this." It gets a great satisfaction: "I have got something" - power, prestige, money. It gives a kind of reality to it. It gives the notion that, "When I have these things, I must be there." And it lives in the future with the idea of...
... us how to become enlightened." That becoming, that achieving, that desiring, goes on jumping on every object that you can find. Sometimes it is money, sometimes it is God. Sometimes it is power, sometimes it is meditation - but any object, and you start grabbing it. Non-grabbing is the way to live the real life, the true life, non-grasping, non-possessing. Let things happen, let life be a...
... very ugly. But one thing was beautiful in her too - her sound, her voice. She was a great singer. Now he was torn apart. The beautiful woman had not that voice, that singing voice; and he was a lover of music. She had a beautiful face, but form was not so important to him as voice. And then he was poor, and he wanted a woman who brings much money with her so there would be security; he could go into...
... his music totally, wholeheartedly, so he need not worry about money and things like that. He wanted to devote his whole life to music. That woman had two things: the money and a beautiful voice - but she was utterly ugly. It was very difficult to look at her, her face was repulsive. The poor woman was beautiful, but her voice was ordinary and she had no money. So if he chose that woman he would have...
... write to me: "We are torn apart between two women, or between two men. What should we do?" This confusion arises because you are motivated. There is a motivation: money, music, security. There is no love; that's why you are torn apart. If love is there, intense love is there, passionate love is there, then there would be no choice. That passion itself would decide. You would not be choosing...
..., somebody can ask you why you are miserable, and the question IS relevant - because misery is against nature, something wrong is happening. When you are happy, nobody asks you why you are happy, except for a few neurotics. There are such people; I cannot deny the possibility. I have heard about a patient. The psychiatrist was bored with him. Of course, he was getting enough money out of him, but he was...
... gave a certain amount of money to the conductor. He deducted the money for the ticket and returned the remaining money. He counted it - just a few coins - but he thought that he had been cheated. So he said to the conductor, "What do you think? Are you kidding me? You have not returned the right amount of money." The conductor counted it again. It was just a small amount; he counted it...
... a game, and they have learned it. And it pays in respectability, in money, in power -- in every way. So everybody tries, and the mind becomes filled with many words, many thoughts. And you can turn any computer on or off -- but you cannot turn the mind off. The switch does not exist. There is no reference about it, that when God made the world, when he made man, he made a switch for the mind so...
.... Meditation is just the essence, the very essence. You cannot cut anything out of it. And it gives you both worlds. It gives you the other world -- the divine, the world of godliness -- and it gives you this world too. Then you are not poor. You have a richness but not of money. There are many kinds of richness, and the man who is rich because of money is the lowest as far as the categories of richness are...
... world in those days. Under Akbar, India was the greatest land; there was immense money available, but Akbar spent everything. He wanted the capital to be complete before his death. But seeing that it seemed to be impossible, that the capital would take at least forty years more to be absolutely complete, he decided, "At least while I am alive, half of the capital - particularly the offices of the...
..., and in fact he had no money left to continue the project for forty more years, so the project was dropped; nobody ever moved. It became a monument, a great memory of the dream of a great king. But to me the most important thing is the sentence on the bridge. That's what a master is, for a rebel. That's what love is, for a rebel. For a rebel, love and the master are synonymous. When his love becomes...
... their quotation was less, so why waste money? And anyway one has to die, today or tomorrow. Goldberg is thinking the way any economist, any mathematician would think. To you, he will look a little mad. But you will find these kinds of people all around the world. Just remember one thing: you have to make it a point that the only criterion of sanity is to remain blissful, whatsoever the cost. It may...
... you are interested and you have the money, you will get one of the most gorgeous woman to make love to." He could not resist the temptation, so he paid the money and he was led into a room. Certainly the woman was gorgeous, and as he started making love, he started hearing a few giggles from this side, a few giggles from that side. He could not understand what was happening. He has made love...
... this? You never told me." The manager said, "The fee for watching the show is much more. There is no harm; tomorrow you can watch the show. And what is a show if there is no watcher?" He paid the money - because he felt that the people who were giggling were enjoying more than he was enjoying - and the next day he sat by a magnifying hole and he enjoyed it so much that he started...
... very beautiful house that even the king wanted to purchase. He had made it with such love - he himself was an architect - and the king was jealous because even his palace was not so beautiful. All sorts of rich people had offered that whatever money he wanted he could have, but the man always refused. The palace that he had made was a small palace, hidden in a thick garden, with shrubs, rosebushes...
... about the future, and the palace was burning. His second son came running and he told him, "Yes, my older brother is right. We had agreed to sell, but it was only verbal. Neither had the money been given to us, nor had even a sales deed been written. We were waiting for you." Again the tears came - because now the king is not going to purchase it, he is not going to give the money. He forgot...
... thinking that when her father dies... That old fellow was holding all the money. Then I went to America, but she never came to the commune. The old man had died, and now she had all the money. She was afraid if she came to the commune and saw me it would be difficult. She had been telling me again and again, "Osho, don't be worried. He cannot live forever. Once he is gone, our ashram is not going to...
... have any trouble about money." I said, "This is very ugly. The very idea is ugly and poisonous." But he died and she became one of the richest women in America. She never came to see me in five years while I was in America and the last thing she did when she found that the American government was trying to destroy the commune or in some way deport me... The U.S. attorney general had...
