...; psychologically they are polygamous. So their whole psychology has been forced against its own nature. And because woman was dependent on man she had to suffer all kinds of insults - because man was the master, he was the owner, he had all the money. To satisfy his polygamous nature, man created prostitutes. Prostitutes are a by-product of marriage. And this ugly institution of prostitution will not disappear...
... from the world unless marriage disappears. It is its shadow - because man does not want to be tied to a monogamous relationship, and he has the freedom of movement, he has the money, he has the education, he has all the power. He invented prostitutes; and to destroy a woman by making her a prostitute is the ugliest murder you can do. The strange fact is, all religions are against prostitution - and...
... end when Nadirshah said, "Now I want to go to sleep, you can go back." He gave immense rewards to the woman, but the woman said, "It is dark outside. With so much money, so many diamonds... I am a woman and alone, and the path goes through a dark forest -- I cannot go." Nadirshah told his soldiers, "You go ahead of her, and go on burning everything that you find -- forest...
... hearts dancing, running -- no traffic control! Nature manages itself so perfectly that if you don't disturb, everything goes alright -- and very smoothly. A man dressed as Adolf Hitler visited a psychiatrist. "You can see I have no problems," he said. "I have the greatest army in the world, all the money I ever need and every conceivable luxury you can imagine." "Then what...
... just a cold-blooded money transaction; service was equivalent to cash in the purchase of a wife. If an otherwise desirable man could not pay for his wife, he could be adopted as a son by the girl’s father and then could marry. And if a poor man sought a wife and could not meet the price demanded by a grasping father, the elders would often bring pressure to bear upon the father which would result in...
... a modification of his demands, or else there might be an elopement. (924.2) 83:3.3 As civilization progressed, fathers did not like to appear to sell their daughters, and so, while continuing to accept the bride purchase price, they initiated the custom of giving the pair valuable presents which about equaled the purchase money. And upon the later discontinuance of payment for the bride, these...
... live without God create their own gods. Money can become your god; power can become your god. Marx, Engels, Lenin - the unholy trinity - can become your gods. But man cannot live without gods. Either you go to Kaaba or to Kashi or to the Kremlin; either you go to Mecca or to Moscow. But man cannot live without religion, it is such a fundamental need. The reason why it is so fundamental is that God is...
... have achieved the money, but where is the joy that you have always been hoping for when the money was there? You have that great marble palace, but you are the same poor man -- the same emptiness inside, the same hollowness. You used to live in a hut, now you start living in a palace -- but the SAME person. You were miserable in the hut, and you will be even more miserable in the palace, because the...
.... The money is there, but he is as empty as ever. There are two kinds of poor people: the poor poor and the rich poor. And remember, the second category is far worse. Activity means there is a goal; activity is only a means to that end. Action means that the means and the end are together in it. That's the difference between action and activity. Vinod Bharti, activity will become useless, but then...
.... But it takes millions of lives for people to arrive at this point, because in one life you cannot try all there is. You try a few things; they fail, but the hope remains: maybe you have not tried the right things. You earn money, you become the richest man in the world -- you become an Andrew Carnegie. And at the peak, when you have become the richest man in the world, suddenly you see your whole...
... life has been a wastage. Money is there, but there is no contentment inside -- and life has gone down the drain. You can see the misery of an Andrew Carnegie. When he was dying, somebody who was writing a biography said to him, "You must be the most contented man in the world." He said, "Contented? I am the MOST discontented man in the world! Don't you know I am the wealthiest man in...
... the world? That is my discontent. Now I know there is no more to wealth: all that is possible I have attained, and yet I am dying empty. My life has been just a wastage. Next time, if God gives me another opportunity, I am not going to try money any more -- it has failed." But the hope is there -- he will try politics...? Those who attain to political power, they fail. But then they think maybe...
.... They have lost five thousand dancing, singing, rejoicing people who were not miserable... because not a single man went mad, not a single man committed suicide. Nothing that goes on happening in every city was happening there - it was a totally different climate. For the first time in the whole of history... it was a small place where money was not circulating. We had stopped using it, no money was...
... to be used in the commune. And just by stopping the use of money, we destroyed the distinction of the rich and the poor. You might have millions of dollars - it would be of no use. You could donate your dollars to the commune, but you could not use them to purchase anything. All your needs would be fulfilled by the commune - and everybody's needs were fulfilled. Nobody was hungry, nobody was...
...? Why live at all? If there is no meaning and you are moving in a rut... every day you get up, go to work, earn a little money, sleep in the night, dream, again in the morning... the wheel goes on moving and you reach nowhere. In the end is death. So why wait? Why not commit suicide? Why not destroy this meaningless thing? And why be so much worried and so much burdened and so much in anxiety and...
...... The light is there but you are throwing it outside. It moves with your desire. Desire is the focus, light goes on moving. If you are too much addicted to wealth your whole being focuses on wealth; then you only see money, nothing else. Even if you meet a person you don't see the person, you see the money. If the person is poor, simply no trace is left on your mind; if he is rich then a trace is left...
.... Because you never really die, only the ego dies. And if you accept death totally, you have renounced the ego on your own. Then there is nothing left for death to do; you have done its work on your own. What can death take from you? It will take your money, it will take your wife, it will take your husband, it will take your relationships, it will take your world. DON'T be attached to these things - then...
... lived in a thousand and one ways - there are other ways to live it. You may have lived a life without love. Why not try love? You may have lived a life obsessed with money. Why not live a life unobsessed with money? You may have lived a life which hankers to possess. Now live a life which is not worried about possessing anything. You may have lived a life of respectability - you may have always been...
... he wrote "Wisdom sold here." One of the richest men was passing and looked at it. He laughed and he told his servant to go with five gold coins and ask this braggard, "How much wisdom can you give for five gold coins?" The servant went while the rich man waited outside. Diogenes pocketed the money, and wrote a small wisdom-bit on a piece of paper, and gave it to the servant. It...
... stand. The ego needs three props. It is a three-legged stool: who am I? - from where do I come? - where am I going? These three legs are needed for the ego. If these three legs disappear, the ego falls. Once it happened: One of the greatest rich men of this century, Andrew Carnegie, was asked by a man, "What do you think, sir, is the most important thing in industry - money, labour or banks?"...
... to another rebirth of consciousness, where again you find another world - the world of God, called 'the kingdom of God' - of infinite light, of eternal beauty, of absolute truth. But you know YOUR life: the life of the market, the life of the family, the house, the money, the ambition, the desire, the body - you know this. And moving towards God means going away from this. It looks like death. God...
