... you do? You can respect them, sometimes you can go and touch their feet -- it becomes a formality. In India it is such a formality that it has lost its beauty, its tremendous power to transform people. People go on touching each and everybody's feet. Children are taught from the very beginning to touch everybody's feet. In my childhood it was so. Any Tom, Harry, Dick who would come to my house, if...
... 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...
... the power to vote, and the mob was unable to understand what Socrates was saying. It went over their heads. They were all in favor that Socrates should be poisoned. But the magistrates gave Socrates three alternatives. They said, "You can leave Athens and not come back. That way the people of Athens will not be irritated by you, will not be annoyed by you. You will be as dead as possible. Just...
... them. You can, but be a madman among them. Do not fight them. This is the way of the wise man. There are many teachers that propose that they are teachers, and perhaps many are false teachers.

... speaks of God as Father, light, spirit, power and being; it tells us what God IS LIKE. But remember, it is only a finger pointing to the moon - the finger is not the moon. The cataphatic language is useful, at least useful for those who are very childish in their approach towards life. A child can understand God only as Father, hence all childish religions talk about God as Father. When religion...
... much significance. You have to absorb that significance, only then will you be able to understand. So listen, but don't think. And then it is possible for much to happen within you, because I tell you: this man - this Sosan about whom nothing much is known - he was a man of power, a man who has come to know. And when he says something he carries something of the unknown to the world of the known...
... flames within you. It is a great struggle of the mind that it does not want you ever to explore the inner, it wants you to remain engaged with something outside. Then it is perfectly happy. Turning in simply means a death to the mind. Turning in means the mind will have to be put aside, with all its knowledge, its problems, its anxieties, its anguishes. Of course, the mind has been in power for four...
... scholarly people could understand it; the masses were absolutely ignorant about it. Hence what was written in the scriptures was known only to the few priests, and of course through that knowledge they were powerful. And they never wanted it to be known by the masses, otherwise their power will be lost, their vested interests will be destroyed. Buddha was the first man who dynamited their whole...
... of it. 'There was no God in the sky, no God in myself, no conviction in myself that I had the power to believe in a God. And sol merely knelt in the dust in silence and no words came to my lips.' This is the situation. You cannot call ABBA - those words won't come to your lips. And even if you do bring them, they will be false and you will be laughing at the whole ridiculousness of it.

... not matter whether you desire power or enlightenment; desire is desire, and with desire the mind remains alive. That night he dropped the last desire.
