... treasure. That which cannot be taken away from you is real treasure. Even death cannot take it away from you. That is the criterion. Whatsoever you have, always put it to the criterion: whether death will take it away from you or not. That should become a constant contemplation. You have money - will death separate you from it or not? You have prestige, political power, fame, beauty, physical strength...
.... He knocked on the door and the man on the gate said to him, "Who are you, and what has been your business there in the world? - because we have a quota, just like the Rotary Club." Nasruddin said, "I was a journalist. You will have to allow me, otherwise I am going to report it and that will create bad news." And journalists have become a power, so the man, the watchman, said...
.... If it was in our power we would not exhale at all, we would inhale and then control it within. No one emphasizes exhaling - inhaling is emphasized. Because we HAVE to do exhaling after inhaling, that is why we go on "suffering" it. We tolerate it because we cannot inhale without exhaling. So exhaling is accepted as a necessary evil, but basically we are not interested in exhaling. And...
... him. Tell me exactly what it is that you seek." "I told you. I am seeking God," he said. "I do my practices and my meditation regularly, but I have no results to show."

If the breath stops what will you do? All your power, your...

And, of course, every instrument increases your power, but you do not grow through it. Rather, the contrary is the case. Cars have added much in speed, but they have destroyed your legs. This is unfortunate, but...
... holds no power. So as long as the male consciousness holds sway in the world, wars cannot be eradicated. A man's mental make-up is such that even if he wants to start a movement against wars, his way of going about it will be war-like. When he starts a movement for establishing peace, his fists are clenched and he carries a stick! His methods will all be that of a fighter. There was yet another case...
... never frustrated. You can never disappoint me because I do not pin my hopes on you. However you deal with me, I shall not be disappointed; for I have not committed the initial error of handing over that power to you. The slightest expectation from you and you can disappoint me. If I meet you on the road and I expect you to at least greet me - you can dash my hopes and I shall be filled with despair...
.... "I believe," said Thurmon, "that electricity is the best invention. It turns on the lights, makes the TV work - it do everything." "Yeah," agreed Pickens, "but ah believe that atomic power is the most important invention. It can do everything electricity can and you can push a button, blow up the world." "Well, gennamen," said Diggs, "to me the...
