... to be miserly because it is concerned with the quantitative world. If you give some quantity to somebody, you have that much less. But the world of consciousness is not the world of quantity: it is the world of quality. The more you give, the more you have. It follows just the opposite rule of ordinary economics. But your mind knows only the ordinary economics. So it is afraid that if you start...
... killing it. Sharing is the rule to protect it; not only to protect, but to help it grow. Ronald Reagan goes into a bar in Washington looking for some action. He sees three women sitting together, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead. To the blonde, he says, "I'm the President; how much would it cost me to spend the night with you?" "Two hundred bucks," she says. He asks the brunette...
... this country against the British rule were followers of Mahatma Gandhi, who preached poverty, who preached non-possessiveness. The moment they came into power all his disciples started living in palaces which were made for viceroys. All his disciples who had been thinking their whole lives that they are servants of the people became masters of the people. There is more corruption in this country than...
...; all you need is money. There is not a single individual in the whole country who is not a commodity in the marketplace; all you need is money. Everybody is purchasable - judges are purchasable, police commissioners are purchasable, politicians are purchasable. Even under the British rule this country has never known such corruption. What has the country gained? The rulers have changed, but what does...
... allows them not to submit to any master - but they are not happy. I have known many of his disciples, old disciples. One woman used to come to me, she must have been eighty. She has been listening to him from the very beginning, and I asked her, "Listening to Krishnamurti for so many years, what is the need to come to me? I am a master." And what she said is applicable to many others, because...
... on a bench. He was a count, and he had immense property and immense land and everything - but he lived like a poor man. The wife had control of everything. She would not allow him even to have a friend, a male friend. She was so jealous that she would not allow him to read or write in front of her. He had to go out in the garden or in the fields to write; all his writing was done outside. Her...
... to be afraid, everything is in control. We are trying to calm down the Rajneeshees." I don't know how he was trying to calm us down. He never came here, he never sent a message to us, but he was calming us down. Does he think he is a magician? And he said he was trying to keep the opposing people from getting too hot. Inside, everything was different. Now the confidential record of the meeting...
..., they will be finished within minutes. They have to remain under American control. Israel is nothing but a slave country of the Christians. And it will have to remain a slave; otherwise Mohammedans will kill it. American politicians have done a good job. Jews think they have been favored; that is nonsense. They have been put in such a fix that they will never be out of it. And Christians have made a...
... functioning on its own. Semen is a similar phenomenon. It is manufactured in you, by your food, by your breathing, by your exercise, by your very living. How long can you hold it? And holding it is such a painful job! That's why you see your saints so sad. It is natural, if your bladder is full and you are afraid that, "Now I am coming near the boundary when there will be no control...." Semen is...
... could see and connect themselves with my truth. There were many Gandhians - until the day I spoke against Gandhi and said that he was the most cunning politician, not only of this century but of the whole history, that all his religion was mumbo- jumbo; it was a curtain to dominate the whole country. And although he was saying that he was in search of truth, he was continually lying, just like a...
... to be free, Truth is the only way." A parrot watching from a distance cried out: "Stupid bird, you lost a golden cage and you are happy about it? Not even one is fortunate to have it! It is only obtained by good deeds of our past lives. But you ignorant fool, you do not know the art of living in a golden cage. The first and foremost rule is to do exactly what the master says without...
... imbedded in tradition and society. I therefore wish to speak on the first rule in the quest for truth, and that is that we should fully perceive our state of bondage. Man is a slave - whose slave? He is a slave to his follies, his ennui, his ignorance and insensibility all his own. Only when this becomes a vivid realization can he take steps to eradicate this slavery. The most unfortunate slave is he who...
.... The outcome can only be a battlefield of domination, of humiliation, of all kinds of conflicts. The very word "compassion" will remind you about passion. When passion becomes alert and aware, the whole energy of love comes to a refinement; it becomes compassion. Love is always addressed to one person, and its deepest desire is to possess that person. But the same is the case from the other...
... mind. The mind is always in a hurry, the mind is always speeding; but all great things grow very slowly, very silently, without making any noise. Just watch that anything that goes against compassion you don't give any support to. Jealousy, competition, an effort to dominate - all that goes against compassion. And you will know immediately because your compassion will start wavering. The moment you...
... mind; and then the deep-rooted conditioning of inferiority surfaces. The only way to get rid of it is to just watch it - let it surface, don't suppress it. If you suppress it, you will have to live with it. Let it surface, and you remain simply a watcher: that this idea of inferiority is only a thought, and you are not the mind that thinks. You are the being that watches. Your being is neither...
... more you are alert and conscious and aware, the less is the possibility of committing a sin. The basic requirement for committing a sin is to be unconscious. For example, you can be angry only if you forget yourself. If you are self-remembering, aware, anger is impossible. It cannot exist with awareness. No coexistence is possible. When you are aware, it is not that you control your anger, restrain...
... your anger, suppress your anger - no! It simply cannot be there. In a fully aware person, anger cannot exist, just as in a fully lighted room darkness cannot exist. The coexistence is impossible. The moment you bring a lamp into the dark room, the darkness is no more there. With the light the darkness cannot exist. And the Upanishads say it is futile and foolish to fight with darkness because you...
... and deeper. You will be waiting with tremendous love. You will not demand of existence, "Give me this state," because any demand on existence is ugly. You will simply wait; you will not even pray. You will simply feel thirsty, and existence is compassionate enough. You cannot dominate it, but if you are simply thirsty, you will find existence fulfills your longing. He has at least heard...
... contrary, thicker. EMPTYING THIS MIND IS THE ROOT. Not just emptying ... in the first place, there is no way to empty the mind. You don't have any control over your mind. It goes on in its own way, filled with dreams and thoughts and emotions and feelings and reactions, sadnesses, happinesses -- there is no way to empty it. How are you going to empty it? From one side you will be emptying it, and from...
