... sexuality. For what do you want money? For what do you want power? Have you watched that all other interests are centered on sex? A man without money will not be able to get the most beautiful woman; a man without power will not be able to get the most beautiful woman. All your so-called desires are centered on a single fact, a single interest, and that is sex. Just live it, and live it joyously without...
... the next show." The villager said, "You can bring the ticket for the next show, I am not going anywhere, I will see the next show. And if I am not satisfied, I will see the third show, also." There were three shows every day. The manager thought the man seemed mad, but he gave money, so he said, "Perhaps, let him see it." After the second show, the manager came again just...
... out of curiosity to ask, "Are you satisfied?" The villager said, "Satisfied? My foot! I have to see the third show also. This is the money, bring the ticket." But the manager said, "What is the problem? If I can be of any help?..." He said, "Nobody can be of any help. But I'm not going to go unless I'm satisfied." The manager said, "What is your...
... forget; we force him to remember the world and forget god. We change his gestalt: we try to focus him on things - money, power, prestige, ambition. By and by, we orient him towards matter; and his orientation towards the divine becomes more and more foggy, unclear, and is lost. Somewhere near the age of two or three, the vision is no more there. That's why if you try to remember your past, you can...
... somebody special in the world?" And there are only a few ways: either have money, more than others have, and you will be special; or have more power, political power, than others have, and you will be special; or have more knowledge than others have and you will be special. Or, if you cannot do anything else then at least renounce everything and become a great mahatma. But do something! Be special...
...! The inferiority complex inside goes on pulling and manipulating you to do something so that you can stand out, you can be outstanding, so people know who you are. You can have money. It is not difficult - many stupid people have money. You can become politically powerful, not a problem - only stupid people become politically powerful. You earl gather knowledge: so many stupid people have so many...
... desire will disturb their whole arrangement. They have a wife, children they have, the shop, the factory, everything is going well. Somehow they have managed, and now comes this man to disturb everything. Now NO more does the wife seem to be so attractive, no more do the children seem to be so attractive, no more the money, the power politics... now a dream is released in them. And the touch of the...
... nor other-worldly, neither materialist nor spiritualist, neither against money nor for money. Just BE simple and natural! Just accept whatsoever is, and move according to your natural capacity, potentiality. And don't decide a program me for your life. Be moment-to-moment. Don't make a schedule. Don't make a style. Don't create a character! Just slowly slowly, moment-to-moment moving, living...
... enough money is not very big; make a little effort and you can have it, if not legally then illegally - but you can have it, and there are ways. You are not famous, and you are suffering, you can become notorious - that too is a kind of fame. If people don't know you as a MAHATMA, they can know you as a devil, but you can make yourself known. And the difference is not much between the MAHATMA and the...
... with conscious meditation, only with awareness, living moment to moment with absolute alertness does one come to be out of sleep. And you ARE drunk - drunk with money, drunk with ego, drunk with power, prestige. And there are a thousand kinds of alcoholic beverages available: money is alcohol, power is alcohol, politics is alcohol. Beware of these things. And people are so clever, they can turn...
... something. All are seekers in the world; the world is full of seekers. And remember, the man who is seeking money and power is not different from the seeker who is running after God. It is the same seeking. The object of the seeking makes no difference in the nature of seeking; the quality of the seeking is the same. What is that quality? It is tension between that which you are and that which you would...
... of seeking. They say, "Don't seek money, seek meditation." And it appears on the surface as if they are transforming your being. They are not. They are only giving you a new toy to play with. But the old seeking will continue; you will remain the same old person with the same old rotten mind, with the same old wandering, tensions, frustrations, worries. Nothing is going to change by that...
... moon. The fact has been known down the ages that the moon drives people crazy. Hence the word "lunatic"; it means struck by the moon. Lunatic comes from the word luna, the moon. The moon is so close by, it attracts. And there are many "moons" in life - you are surrounded by many attractive goals. There is power, there is money, there is prestige, respectability, fame. And there...
..., clear, loud. That essence is called God. God is not a person sitting somewhere in heaven, God is your essential being. But you have become too occupied with the non-essential: the money, the politics, the respectability. You have become too concerned with others' opinions about you, what they are saying about you. You are so afraid of their opinions, and you start living according to their opinions...
... a hypothetical way. They have to be used in a utilitarian sense. When I use the words 'inner journey', I simply mean that you have looked at one aspect of the journey in your life called 'outer', now try to look at another aspect of the journey called 'inner'. YoU have been running after money, now run after meditation. You have been running after power, now run after God. Both are running. Once...
..., arbitrary meditation; SAMADHI means you have come home, now meditation is not needed. When even meditation is not needed, one is in meditation - never before it. When one simply lives in meditation, walks in meditation, sleeps in meditation, when meditation is just one's way of being, then one has arrived. But you have been running too much after money, power, prestige. You have become so accustomed to...
...; what name you give to the goal does not matter. You can call it money, you can call it power, you can call it prestige, or you can now call it infinity, vastness, God - it is the same ego trip. Now it has become even more subtle and more poisonous, because the more subtle the ego is, the more dangerous it is. You are afraid, but trying to cover up your fear philosophically. This is what goes on...
... purified it is, the more ecstatic. Nancy was having coffee with Helen. Nancy asked, "How do you know your husband loves you?" "He takes out the garbage every morning." "That's not love. That's good housekeeping." "My husband gives me all the spending money I need." "That's not love. That's generosity." "My husband never looks at other women."...
... wanted to live a secure life. Now she becomes a sannyasin: sooner or later she will discover - because this sannyas is a constant adventure into one's own being, an exploration - sooner or later she will become aware that she has never loved you, she loved your money. And she may see that because of this she has missed the opportunity of love. Sannyas may give her courage. It is bound to give courage...
..., and then it is all the same; what game you are playing is not the question. You can play religious games, you can play psychological games, you can play spiritual games - you can go on playing. The worldly person is after money: he is playing a game. The otherworldly person is after renouncing money: he is playing another game. The worldly person is interested in being a great success, famous, well...
...." The next woman he approached was dressed up with jewelry and very expensive clothes. "Madam, it is plain to see that your priorities deal with the material things of life and that money is your god. What is your child's name?" "Goldie," she replied. "You see, even subconsciously you were thinking of wealth when you named your child. My advice is to go home and forget...
