... with it. I have gone beyond.' This is knowing, real knowing. Knowing is a qualitative change in your being. It is a transformation of your being, it is a metanoia: you move higher, the altitude changes. With knowledge, the so- called knowledge, you remain the same except that you go on holding more. You know more but you remain the same. The so-called knowledge is almost like money - you go on...
... hoarding money. That doesn't change you. How can it change you? Your bank balance goes on growing but that doesn't mean you are growing with it. How can you grow with the bank balance? You may start collecting much money, you may hoard millions of rupees, but how is that going to help YOUR growth? You remain the same. That's why you will see that even rich people remain beggars. Money is there but their...
... so. If you are aggressive, just by changing your clothes you will not become non- aggressive. If you are an angry person, just by changing the style of your hair you will not become non-angry. So the amount of money you have does not make any difference to your inner being; you remain the same. And in the same way the amount of knowledge you have makes no difference. You can go to the university...
... there are no things, only ongoing processes. So this is the essence of meditation. As Hotei said, "Walk on!" Mind always wants stability, so it always looks for a destination and is prepared to call anything the destination so that it can stop there. One mind stops at money, another at success, and another somewhere else; the point is that it finds somewhere to stop and settle in. This is...
... priests and all the whole show were only hired, and that neither they nor you had any feeling in it, it was all just a money game. And yet you will bow down in front of this "god" and sanctimoniously pray, "O Savior of sinners...." Amazing childishness! At least children are straightforward in what they are doing, because their hearts are there in it; to them their toy has become...
... of money. Even a single penny you will find it hard to give, because the act of giving is in itself so difficult for you. To you it seems that it is a pleasure to take and troublesome to give, but the truth is actually the opposite. The pleasure that could be had in giving is never found in taking. Whenever you have given, that giving has given you pleasure, and whenever you have taken you have...
... patient, "it worked in a way that you could not have expected. Once I began counting I couldn't stop. It was so exciting to count so many sheep that my mind wouldn't stop - and then shearing all those thousands of sheep, and so much wool! And selling all that wool in the market, and so much money! I haven't felt sleepy at all in these last seven nights!" Once there is an opportunity to get...
.... You have so much free time that you spend it playing chess and cards; and of course you go to the temple as well - and you think this makes you religious. You have so much money, so much time, such an easy life, and your religion is merely a social convenience. Leave everything and come with me." Nicodemus said, "Then I am going back. I am not capable of doing this!" No, leaving is...
... remain unfulfilled, and you remain empty. The first thing about livelihood is: it should be based on needs, not on desires. Then a very small quantity of things is enough. Secondly: it should not be violent. You should not do something just because you can get some money out of it. You can kill somebody and get some money, you can be a butcher and you can make your livelihood, but that is inhuman...
...... and very unconscious. Better ways are possible. One should be creative in one's livelihood, one should not be destructive. The businessmen were discussing a compatriot. "He used to work for me," said the first one. "I would not trust him with my money. He would lie, steal, cheat; anything for a buck." "How do you know him so well?" "How?" said the first. "...
...;I taught him everything he knows." One should be a little more alert. Money is not all, and one should not destroy one's own life just in accumulating money. Poverty can be tremendously beautiful. If you are just living by your needs, poverty can be a tremendous contentment. In fact, you will never find rich people contented. Sometimes you can come across a beggar with a contented face, but...
... motive is not there any longer. One has to force, one has to order, one has to nag constantly, only then will the sudra work. There is always a businessman type who enjoys money, wealth, accumulation. He will do that - it makes no difference how he does it. If money is available, he will collect money; if money is not available, then he will collect postage stamps. But he will do it, he will collect...
... had wasted her life, she had wasted a golden opportunity. And for what? Just for money, selling her body and soul. She always used to look towards the monk's temple, so jealous of the silent life there. What meditative phenomenon was happening there? She longed for God to give her one chance to go inside the temple. But she thought, "I am a prostitute, unholy, and I should not enter the temple...
... he had been worshipping Mother Kali, but at the very end he began to feel, "It is duality; the experience of oneness has still not happened. It is lovely, delightful, but two still remains two." Someone loves a woman, someone loves money, someone politics; he loved Ma Kali - but love still was divided in two. Still the ultimate nonduality hadn't happened and he was in anguish. He began...
..., renounces his family, renounces business and money; then he is enslaved in a new bondage - he becomes a monk. New restrictions, how to move and sit, how to eat and drink - he creates a new slavery. Have you observed that a monk's condition is like that of a prisoner. A monk is not free, because a monk thinks first he has to accept restrictions to become free. This is a hilarious idea! For liberation first...
... by nature, do not be small-minded." Why be involved with trivial things? Sometimes you are involved with, "This house is mine, this body is mine, this money is mine, this business is mine...." What trivial things the mind gets involved in! "THIS UNIVERSE IS PERMEATED BY YOU, IT IS STRUNG ON THE THREAD OF YOU. IN REALITY...." This whole existence is infused by you. The whole...
... when God is enthroned inside. Dying over bits and pieces while the ultimate expanse is present within. The ocean is present, and they crave droplets! Only those who don't know themselves can be in politics. And when I say politics, I don't mean only those who are in political parties. By politics I mean all those people who are struggling in some way: struggling for money, money politics; struggling...
..., and they feel life is meaningless. They have all the money, they have all that money can purchase ... but there are a few things which money cannot purchase. They cannot purchase silence, they cannot purchase joy, they cannot purchase love, they cannot purchase meditation .... In the life of Mahavira, there is a beautiful story. One great king of Mahavira"s time, Prasenjita, had everything that...
... be in need of money, and he may sell his meditation." And Prasenjita went in his golden chariot to the quarters of the poorest people, and they could not believe it - a great crowd gathered, and they found the poor man. Prasenjita asked, "Whatever the price, it will be given to you right now; I am carrying enough money in the chariot. But give me your meditation." The man said, "...
... followers pouring their money in his feet every day from the morning till late in the night, the procession continued. This is a special politics, and this politics has created a gap -- I want to destroy the gap. I want you to walk hand in hand with Buddha and then there is no reason... because sometimes what cannot be said through words can be said just by holding your hand. Sometimes what cannot be said...
... years we changed a desert into an oasis, we made a dream come true. Perhaps that is the only time communism has existed in the world -- those four years. Because we stopped the circulation of money in the commune; money cannot be used inside the commune. So you may have millions of dollars and I may not have a single dollar but that does not make you rich, and that does not make me poor. Money cannot...
... amount of money available to me so even if you put me on a bail like ten million dollars I will not bother and I can leave the country, and I have thousands of devoted lovers and friends who can do anything for me." "That's why we cannot allow." I said to my attorneys, that "This proves the impotency of the greatest power of the world against a single man that they cannot prevent me...
... impossible. They are survival measures, so nature has not given you a choice between them. From the moment you are born, those three chakras start functioning. They go on functioning until you die. The whole life is covered by those three chakras, and the extrovert person never comes to know that there is anything higher than these. Sex, money, power, prestige, respectability, name, fame - they all belong...
... to those three chakras. And the centre of all those chakras is sex. People seek money in order to seek sex. People seek fame and power and prestige in order to seek sex. Sex remains the centre of the lower three chakras. Sex remains the centre of the extrovert personality. His whole mind revolves around sex. Above the anahata, the heart, there are three chakras: visudha, the fourth centre, then...
... much money, but you remain the same; your money cannot make you rich. Your richness, your success, your victory, depends only on one thing - that god should happen to you. And god is ready to happen any moment but we are not looking for him. We are looking for ten thousand things except god. The day one is ready to look for him, he immediately happens. He has been waiting a long time for you... for...
... peace Gorbachev can go beyond the limits -- he is already going. The death of the Soviet Union will be the death of all evolution, of all possibilities of a world without boundaries, of a world without classes, of a world richer in every sense of the word -- not only money but consciousness too; not only power but art and music and dance. Have you ever observed? -- there is a simple phenomenon that...
... because of my weapons... everybody who has died, has died because of my arms." In any country, anywhere, both the parties were using his weapons. He was the only person who was refining and refining, and making better and better war material. He became afraid of hellfire. He donated all his money and created a trust, so that every year, just out of the interest, Nobel Prizes should be given to...
... scientists to the capitalists and gain prestige, awards, money and everything. So the Soviet government up to now has been preventing people like Sakharov and others. It was a very dangerous thing. If you prevent, then the scientist becomes angry with the Soviet government. He freaks out, he wants to accept the prize. Because he freaks out, the Soviet government has to take measures to prevent him from...
... miles is not enough for him to kiss? Go on kissing! He wastes so much money in kissing different lands. He came to India and kissed the New Delhi airport. I was in Kathmandu -- I immediately gave a press conference and told them, "If he wanted to kiss cow dung, we could have sent him a parcel full of cow dung! Why waste eight million dollars in visiting India just to kiss the cow dung?" But...
... powerful. Other religions have also followed the same ideas. Mohammed married nine wives. He was absolutely uneducated; he used to have epileptic fits and he married a woman just for money.

She turned Mohammed's epileptic fits into "trances." In...
