... river. Once it happened: one man came to Mulla Nasruddin and asked for some money. Nasruddin knew this man, knew well that this money was not going to be returned, but it was such a small sum that he thought, "Let him take it; even if he is not going to return it, nothing is lost. So why say no for such a small sum?" So he gave him the money. After three days the man returned. Nasruddin was...
... surprised. It seemed impossible, it was a miracle, that this man had returned. After two or three days the man came again and asked for a big sum. Nasruddin said, "Now! Last time you deceived me." He said, "Last time you deceived me - now I am not going to allow it again." The man said, "What are you saying? Last time I returned the money." He said, "Okay, you returned...
...: the physical misery, the psychological misery, and the spiritual misery. You may not have heard of the third kind - the spiritual misery. You may not have even thought about it as misery. But look: a man is poor and he wants to be rich. He is miserable. Everybody knows he is miserable. And if you go to a religious priest he will say, "Don't be greedy. Money is just dirt, don't bother about it...
.... Blessed are the poor. You be contented with whatsoever you have." But then the man starts trying to become a better musician, or a better poet, or a better painter. You will not be so much against him as you were when he was very greedy for money. If he was very greedy for politics and power and this and that, everybody would have condemned him. But now if he wants to try to create a better...
... suffering because you want to attain to God, and you want to attain to samadhi and moksha and nirvana, who is going to condemn you? People will WORSHIP YOU. They will say, "Look, what a great spiritual man is here! He does not hanker for money, he does not bother for fame. He simply cries and weeps for God. Here is a spiritual man." These are your so-called saints. But if you look deeply you...
.... In fact, through ambition we want to prove our ego against death, but nothing can be proved against death. The ego has to go, the ego has to die. It cannot be deathless. You can have as much money as you desire, but you will have to die. You can have as much power as possible, but you will have to die. Nothing can protect you. ... HE GLANCED DOWN HIS EYES BECAME BLURRED AND HIS HEAD BEGAN TO SPIN...
... science college, I am not going to pay.' I said, 'That's okay. I will not ask. But I'm not going to the science college. I will beg... but I'm going to the arts college.' It was just a threat from him so that I would come to my senses, but I went to the arts college, and then he felt very much. He would write again and again, 'Just say how much we should send, how much money you need.' I said, 'No, I'm...
... not going to take this. I have not taken your advice, how can I take your money?' So for two years I worked. In the night I would work, in the day I would go to college. They were very repentant. They would come again and again - my family members - and they would say 'Forgive us, just forget about it, but this we cannot see - that at night you have to work and in the day you go to the college.' But...
... authorities for the privilege of gaining possession of such bodies. Joseph went before Pilate with a large sum of money, in case it became necessary to pay for permission to remove Jesus’ body to a private burial tomb. But Pilate would not take money for this. When he heard the request, he quickly signed the order which authorized Joseph to proceed to Golgotha and take immediate and full possession of the...
... not tasted rebellion or religion - which to me are equivalent - is a house divided against himself. He is continuously fighting within and without. He is fighting for money, for power, for prestige, for respectability. His outside life is nothing but power politics. It is a continuous, ongoing warfare that ceases only when he stops breathing. The inner scene is not much different either, because the...
... such is the utter insanity of men that they even start making peace their ambition, they start desiring peace. And this is the greatest dilemma for every man who is in search of himself. He has to understand the contradiction. You cannot desire peace, because desire is the disturbance. What you desire does not matter. You may desire peace or you may desire power, you may desire money or you may...
... about life. It is a gift of infinite value, and one should not waste it. It is a great opportunity to grow, to be, and one should not just go on drifting. Because we have got it without paying anything for it, that's why we think it is valueless. One goes on living as if it is of not much significance. We pay attention, more attention, to the very trivial things - a big house, money, prestige...
... whole celebrates your being, the whole is happy that you are. So never put anything above life - everything else is just below it. Life is the ultimate value. Everything can be sacrificed for life, and life cannot be sacrificed for anything whatsoever. People have been taught to sacrifice life for worthless things. For money, sacrifice your life. For respect, sacrifice your life. For honour, sacrifice...
... media. These people should be treated as criminals. One of our old sannyasins, Shunyo, has donated three hundred thousand dollars, after an attack on my life was made, to purchase a bulletproof car. Those three hundred thousand dollars were simply swallowed up by Sheela and her brother, Bipin. They went on saying, "The money will be returned, it will be returned within a month." Now almost...
... money from the commune... because they have left the commune with a fifty-five-million-dollar debt. And strangely enough, three days before they left I asked Savita - because she was looking after the finances - "How much debt do you have?" She said, "Nearabout two and a half million." Just three days before, two and a half million. They became experts in lying. The night she was...
... knees, tears in his eyes, to say goodbye to me. He has not betrayed. And they are all informing me that they want to come back, because the reason that they had to leave has disappeared. So remember, these people were not Judases - except Sheela, who proved really poisonous. But I can understand her problem. She had come to power, she had never seen so much money in her life passing through her hands...
.... She had a bank balance in Switzerland. She slowly slowly siphoned money coming here from European communes - forty-three million dollars. It is in the name of Sheela and Savita - it was said in front of Hasya and Savita promised that before she left she would give all the details to Hasya. She has not given any details, she simply escaped. The only person who has betrayed is Sheela. I have always...
...;Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!" The pope says with growing irritation, "Thank you my children, but I am the pope, not Elvis!" At last he gets to his room and as he begins to unpack his bags, the door opens and in walk three beautiful women, all dressed only in their underwear. The pope looks at them for a moment and then says, "Okay girls. It is one for the money, two for the show, three to...
... get ready and go man, go!" Question 2: BELOVED OSHO, I AM SURE THAT NO MAN HAS EVER BEEN LOVED SO MUCH BY SO MANY WOMEN. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE THE BIGGEST HAREM IN THE WORLD? Deva Manja, it really feels great! I can repeat the pope: "Okay girls. It is one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and go man, go!" It is true what you are saying, that no man has ever been...
... installed a very costly mechanism. Two days it worked, and then it stopped. It worked for two days because the expert was present, and the moment the expert was gone the mechanism stopped. They phoned the expert - "What to do?" He said, "I will have to come and it will cost a lot of money, ten thousand dollars." But to keep the factory closed was even more costly, so they had to allow...
... the man to come. And the man came and just hit the machine and it started working! The industrialist asked him, "Just for this hitting you are costing me ten thousand dollars?" He said, "It is not for the hitting. For hitting it is only one dollar, but to know where to hit it costs money." When Amrito's letter came to me about this Dutchman, saying that "Many sannyasins are...
