... THERE IS NO PERSONAL PROPERTY, NO MONEY. EVERYBODY GETS WHAT HE NEEDS, EVERYBODY WORKS OUT OF JOY AND CREATIVITY, AND FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE, NO POLITICIANS, NO NATIONS, ETC. NEVERTHELESS, YOUR COMMUNE FEELS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY MARXIST VISION. THE MARXISTS OF TODAY SEEM TO BE MORE AFRAID OF YOU THAN ANY OTHER PEOPLE. CAN YOU SAY A FEW WORDS TO THAT? A:* It is true. The Marxists have to...
.... A classless society because people have so much money that nobody wants to hoard it. For example, in a desert, if you have an oasis, you hoard it. You keep people on guard that nobody takes the water. The water is scarce. But when water is enough available, there is no question of hoarding it. You don't hoard water for tomorrow, because tomorrow the tap will be available. Money can be created, and...
... of wealth are gone. I would like money to be respected in the same way that any other art is respected. Wealth should not be condemned; in fact, we should encourage people to become wealthier. I would like a classless society which is totally rich. Marx's classless society is totally poor. I want it on the highest peak to be equal, and he wants people crawling on the earth to be equal. My commune...
... religion -- which was my inheritance, when I refused your party politics -- which was my inheritance, how can I accept your money, your house, your lands, your garden? That will be very insincere of me. So I cannot receive, because I have rejected everything and I receive only the money, I don't receive anything from you. Your love, your blessing is enough." So he had distributed the whole money. He...
... tremendous joy to discover every day that you are still here, with not a single cent. I must be the poorest man in the whole world. Q:* YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE! A:* I live like an emperor, because what a poor man can lose? I live like an emperor -- even an emperor is worried about losing land, money, this and that -- I don't have anything, so I can live as no emperor has ever lived -- without any anxiety. But...
... idol of the poor whites, he was elected governor in 1928 and at once tried to raise money for building schoolhouses by putting a tax on oil, whereon at the opening of the Louisiana Legislature one Rabbi Walter Peiser refused to invoke a blessing, calling him "an unworthy governor". Mr. Long grew more popular and was elected to the United States Senate where (March 1935) he devoted "a...
... of professional jurists; this is an important factor in what might develop into a grave situation. 319 skill: lavish spending and lavish promises. He did this in an ingenious way (he was possibly trickier than even Mr. Roosevelt). Mr. Long, with his "Share the Wealth" and "Every Man a King" programme, controlled the political machine in Louisiana. When the Roosevelt money began...
... to flow into the States (for expenditure on all manner of crisis "projects", and incidentally on votes) Mr. Long calmly diverted it to his own similar ends. He forced through the Louisiana Legislature a law prohibiting local authorities from receiving any Washington money without the consent of a Louisiana State Board. As he controlled this board, he intercepted the cornucopian stream and...
... the money was spent to enhance his, not Mr. Roosevelt's voting strength. He did with public money what Mr. Roosevelt was doing, but for his own political account. In 1935 Mr. Roosevelt's second election campaign loomed ahead. Suddenly his advisers became aware that Mr. Long was popular far beyond his native Louisiana; he was a national figure. The Democratic National Committee "was astonished...
... Foreign Office protests the money was transferred to the Geneva office of the World Jewish Congress for crediting to the Nazi leaders! ** The word "pogrom" (a Russian one meaning "'massacre") plays an especial part in this propaganda. It is applied to any kind of disturbance in which Jews are involved and has by suggestion been given this specific, though false significance, so that...
... one suffer. Another ancient story... A woman loved her husband, but the husband never paid any attention to her. He was in love with a prostitute, knowing perfectly well that prostitutes don't love -- because there were many other customers. He was only a customer, not a lover. And in his life he had seen that the day the customer's money is finished, the prostitute's door is closed for that man. He...
... had destroyed his health, he had destroyed his money, now he was dying. Just as he was dying, his wife asked him, "If you have any last wish so that you can die contented..." He said, "Yes, I have a wish, but I am ashamed to say it to you." She said, "Don't be ashamed. This is not the time to be ashamed. I love you as you are -- there is no question of feeling ashamed."...
...; He said, "My only wish is to see the prostitute just once more before I die." The woman said, "There is no problem." He had lost all their money, there was no money in the house. She had to carry the dying man on her shoulders to the prostitute's house. She knocked on the door. The prostitute opened the door and could not believe it. She said, "Am I hallucinating? Is this...
... real? You are the wife of the man..." The wife said, "Yes, I am the wife and also the lover of the man." The prostitute said, "Then why have you brought him here? He destroyed your life, he spent all your money and he was mad after me. And to me, once the money is finished, all relationship is finished. He was only a customer. This is a marketplace and he knows it. You are a...
... enlightened, he would have been worshipped like an emperor. People had always touched his feet. He was always great and beyond them. When he moved amidst the people and renounced his kingdom, he became even greater because he had renounced his kingdom. People can understand the language of money and they cannot understand any other language. They worship you if you have money, they worship you if you...
... renounce money. But they understand only one language the language of money. If you don't have anything, they don't bother about you. And if you don't have anything how can you renounce, what can you renounce? This is one of the most important things to understand about the Indian mind, the so-called Indian religious mind. Even that mind can understand only the language of money. Mahavir renounced. The...
... that. Because in Mahavir's time India was divided into two thousand kingdoms, so it could not be very great. And it is almost impossible that he had so many elephants and so many chariots and so much gold, it is exaggeration. But people understand only the language of money. They exaggerate, because that is the only way to prove that Mahavir was very great. Had he been the son of a carpenter, nobody...
... interest? You are a clergyman - that is your job; you are getting money for it, respect for it. I am not getting anything, no salary, no money. I don't have a single cent with me. I don't have even pockets in my robe. Twenty years ago I told my tailors to drop the pocket. It is unnecessary, because I don't have anything to put in the pocket. And for twenty years I have lived without any money. You cannot...
... find a single man in the world who has lived twenty years without money. I have not even touched money for twenty years - not that I am against money. I have not seen a dollar yet, although for years I have been in America. And I don't think there is any possibility for me to see a dollar before I die. You talk about Rolls Royces. I don't own them. And why do you ask about Mother Teresa, Jesus Christ...
... would give her five thousand dollars." "For that kind of money," said Richard, "I don't think Ethel would mind. Go ahead, pinch her." Ethel leaned over a chair, lifted her skirt and exposed her bare behind. Jerry took a long, thoughtful look at it. Finally, after about five minutes he said, "I just can"t do it." "Why not?" asked Richard. "Have you...
... not got the nerve? " "It is not that," said Jerry. "I have not got the money." But the desire is there ... what to do? I am in every way in favor of genetic reprogramming of men and women. What kind of nonsense is this? Pinching! And in every crowd men are doing that. Every woman knows when she has been pinched, and she cannot conceive what this man is getting out of it. But...
... an outsider in the city. So he said, "I don't want to get into trouble. This one at least simply talks and bores me, takes a long time - but no harm ... And I have become accustomed." I said, "It is up to you; otherwise I have an acquaintance with a barber. If you want he can do you without taking any money." He said, "I don't want to take any risk. A man who can do it...
... without money - he is dangerous from the very beginning. Why should he do it without taking money?" I said, "Because he does things. He is an opium addict." What punks are sometimes doing in the West now, that man in that village was doing fifty years ago. He would simply cut off half of your hair - just on any whim. And when you asked, "What are you doing?" when you looked in...
... the mirror, "What have you done?" he would say, "Don't be angry. If you don't like it, don't give me any money, I have done it for free. You get lost. I have wasted my time and you don't have any appreciation." But, the man could not move in that situation because punks were not known at that time. They are not known even now in India. Sometimes he would cut half the mustache and...
.... And she used them in my name. They all have confessed with tears in their eyes, because she used them that, "It is for Bhagwan's protection." So they did everything. I was in silence for three and a half years, and in isolation. That gave her an opportunity. So much power, so much money, so many people with whom she could tell to do anything in my name, and she was my only connection with...
... MONEY FROM? A:* She has stolen money from the commune. Q:* A LOT OF MONEY? A:* Forty-three million dollars. Q:* THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. A:* Not lots. Q:* NOT WHEN YOU HAVE NINETY-ONE ROLLS ROYCES. A:* Nothing much. If I had forty-five... forty-three million, just in one day I will spend it. It is not a lot. Q:* YOU DO LOVE THE RICH, BHAGWAN. A:* Certainly! Q:* ARE THE RICH AS EASY, ARE THE RICH AS...
... need to distribute it and no need to hoard it. Capitalism at its highest peak is bound to flower into a new type of communism, which will not be enforced. There will be no dictatorship of the proletariat. Q:* YOUR EMPRESS, SHEELA, SEEMS TO ADMIT RATHER BRAZENLY THAT SHE PRESIDED OVER A CONFIDENCE TRICK, THAT PEOPLE HANDED OVER THEIR MONEY THINKING THEY WERE GETTING ENLIGHTENMENT, BUT IN FACT, SHE...
... will be their enemy. Then I will be keeping their poverty, their suffering, their ugliness. So I know, when you go out you have to face an ugly world. Whatsoever you can do, do. If you cannot do anything you can cry and weep, you can help people. That's my message to my sannyasins: Always go to the roots. I am not saying to you to give some money to the beggar, because that is not going to help...
.... Money has been given down the ages, that has not helped. In fact that has made beggary rooted in the soil. I am not saying give money to the beggar, I am not saying don't give money to the beggar that is irrelevant. Whether you give or not, it is not going to help. Giving the money may help you. Mm? You will find a reconciliation, you have done something. You will feel good. You can go to the Blue...
... Diamond and fall asleep, feeling good, saintly, holy, that you have done something. But that is not going to help. And I am not saying don't give money. But remember, that is not going to help. If you feel good it is perfectly good to feel good. But the real thing that is going to help is enlightened people. Help them to see WHY they are miserable. They have made a religion out of poverty. It is not...
... live in the night, they have seen the dawn. We live in our dreams of achieving this and that, in our ambitions, in our ego trips for power, for money, for prestige. And they live at a totally different point. They live as beings, we live as becomings. We live as desires, as dreams; they are real beings: they have no dreams, no desires. We live in the past or in the future; they live in the present...
... house; now you have it. Suddenly, you don't know what to do. You were so much engaged in earning money, you were so mad after getting the house; now you have got it. For a moment you feel good - not because of the house, remember, but just because the whole tension, that mounting tension has disappeared - the house is yours. All that strain and tension is relaxed; it is the relaxation of that tension...
... for something else. Maybe you need more money now or a beautiful woman to suit the beautiful house. Again a new desire, and you rush. Again you will attain... and for a few moments, the relaxation. It is like the sexual experience. What pleasure you attain in sexuality is nothing but the pleasure of a mounting excitement, tension, and then the relaxation. Your energies go on mounting higher and...
... available to any meditator without creating any tension. Hence, meditation takes you beyond sex; nothing else can ever take you beyond sex. Everything else is a substitute for sex. Somebody is running after money - money is his sex; and somebody is running after power - power is his sex; and somebody is running after something else. Those are all sexualities, substitutes for sex. These people can easily...
... become master of your own soul, that now nothing dominates you - sex, power, money, nothing dominates you. It does not mean that you have to renounce the world; it simply means that you have to renounce your unawareness. Desire disappears as you become more and more aware. When awareness is one hundred percent, there is no desire at all. YOUR SORROWS FALL FROM YOU LIKE DROPS OF WATER FROM A LOTUS...
... forefathers, and you will find that in the beginning they were criminals who managed to be successful in controlling money, land, people. The rebel is simply against the whole game, not against the rules. He is rebelling against the game itself. He is saying that the game itself is criminal, that this society is not yet civilized, not yet cultured - it is still barbarous. You are also asking, "Are they...
.... But he is not against the game; that has to be remembered. The rebel is against the very game itself - this game of exploitation, this operation of reducing millions of people into slavery, millions of people into poverty; collecting all the money into a few hands. Just the other day somebody was telling me that there are only fifteen rich people in the whole of India. And the population of India...
... experts to find the loopholes and to use those loopholes. They have enough money to purchase the politicians; they have money to purchase the judges. Particularly in this country, every government official is for sale - you just have to find the right price. In my childhood I used to hear that slavery had ended. Later on I discovered that this is a fiction. Slavery is absolutely in existence because you...
... there will be no exploitation, where there will be no poor and no rich, where there will be no money as a means of exchange. He wants a world where there will be nobody superior and nobody inferior; where finally there will be no need of any government, no need of any judges, any courts, armies, and nations. If a person is sick - somebody is a thief and is caught stealing - he needs the compassion of...
