... was a child, and what interest could I have in politics? And certainly I had no interest at all. For example, Shambhu Babu imposed the octroi tax. I can understand that; without money how could he manage all his beautifying projects, and roads, and electricity? Naturally he needed money. Some form of taxation was necessary. I was not against taxation, I was against the octroi tax, because it goes on...
... everything for money - their source is that; there are people who do everything for their egos - that is their orientation. To be in the service of God means: let love be the orientation. Everything has to be sacrificed to love and love has not to be sacrificed to anything else. Love has to be the summum bonum - the highest good, the supreme value. So whenever you are deciding to do something, just...
... and on searching, and the more we search, the farther away we are, because every search takes us on long joumeys. Each joumey is going away from yourself, so no joumey brings you to yourself. All journeys are distractions. The person who is searching for money is distracted from his being, and so is the person who is searching for God. Their objects are different but their process is the same. The...
.... Enlightenment is the last disease, the last barrier. There have been wise friends who used to say to me, "You are a blessed soul." I said to these people, "Don't make distinctions." Let me remain simply a nobody, with no power, with no domination. Because every subtle desire to be special is a desire for power. You gather money to be powerful, you go into politics to be powerful, you...
... know nothing about sex. Will you teach me?" "Okay," says Sally. "But it will cost you fifty dollars." Father finger agrees and pays the money in advance. Then Sally undresses slowly, and next she undresses the priest and tells him to lie down. "I'm going to start your lesson with the sixty-nine position," she says. But when she climbs on top of him, she accidentally...
... the court that I had arranged their marriage. I have not said anything. Even if they come back, they will be welcomed, although I have been dragged because of them from jail to jail, poisoned because of them and fined half a million dollars. And I don't have a single dollar; I have not even seen the face of a single dollar. I have not touched money for almost thirty years. I don't know who paid the...
... fine. Of course, sannyasins were so much hurt that within ten minutes half a million dollars were paid. Even the judge could not believe his eyes. They were thinking that that much money I will not be able.... I had nothing. And those who betray are not few, but many. Those to whom I gave respect and love - and still I love them - have done everything to harm my approach to life. They are afraid even...
... unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant;6 indicating that he refused to accept anything but centenaria,7 for there is a place where shekels are called centenaria.8 Scripture writes, [ordinary] meal, and [it is then written], fine meal!9 — Said...
... manehs; a maneh = 100 zuz = 25 shekels. Hence he gave him 400 centenaria, instead of ordinary shekels as he demanded at first: this is deduced from the phrase 'current money with the merchant', implying that it was recognised everywhere as a shekel. Ibid. XVIII, 6: And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of [H]; the two words being apparently mutually...
... words and bribe with money, even so I would weep. Now that I am being taken before the supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, who lives and endures for ever and ever, whose anger, if He is angry with me, is an everlasting anger, who if He imprisons me imprisons me for ever, who if He puts me to death puts me to death for ever, and whom I cannot persuade with words or bribe with money...
... banner over me was love.36 Said Raba: Providing they know the features of a subject;37 providing also that there is no greater [scholar] in the town from whom to learn. R. Abba also said in the name of R. Simeon b. Lakish: He who lends [money] is greater than he who performs charity;38 and he who forms a partnership39 is greater than all. R. Abba also said in the name of R...
.... Lit., 'who throws (money) into a (common) purse'. The serpent was probably given that character on account of its part in the sin of Adam and Eve; cf. also Ta'an., Sonc. ed., 8a, Yoma 23a. Cleave to him, for you will benefit by his scholarship. His piety is tainted by his ignorance, which may influence his neighbour too. Cf. Ab. II, 6 (Sonc. ed., p. 15, n. 5). The poor are afraid to call. Thus he...
... unclean tithe may not be exchanged for money wherewith to buy the requirements of the dead, it being unfit as food, it may be exchanged for the purpose of buying anything for the living. Not with the money for which it was exchanged. In respect of eating. The 'giving'. The expression. 'Thereof'. In that of the Paschal lamb; those occurring in the section of tithe being required for other deductions. Nid...
.... The essential is never born, never dies. The accidental is born, lives and dies. The essential is eternal, timeless; the accidental is just accidental. We become too much attached to the accidental and we tend to forget the essential. A man becomes too much attached to money -- money is accidental. It has nothing to do with essential life. A man becomes too much attached to his house or to his car...
..., or to his wife, or to her husband, to children, to relationship. Relationship is accidental; it has nothing essential in it. It is not your real being. And in this century, the twentieth century, the problem has become too deep. There are people who call the twentieth century 'the accidental century' -- they are right People are living too much identified with the non-essential: money, power...
... is not by nature the kind that disappears, he thought to himself. You will also think that way one day if you suddenly find the world has disappeared. You don't know what else to think. You will think about the cost of eggs, the office, the wife, the money. You don't know what else to think about. The whole world has disappeared! - - but you have become mechanical in your thinking. And what will I...
... cannot desire it, you cannot be ambitious for it. On the first path, the false path, all is allowed. You can imagine, you can desire, you can be ambitious. You can change all your worldly desires into other-worldly desires. That's what the so-called religious people go on doing. They don't desire money any more -- they are fed up with it, tired of it, frustrated with it, bored with it -- but they start...
... desiring God. Desire persists; it changes its object. Money is no more the object of desire but God; pleasure is no more the object of desire but bliss. But what bliss can you imagine? Whatsoever you imagine in the name of bliss is nothing but your idea of pleasure -- maybe a little bit refined, cultivated, sophisticated, but it can't be more than that. The people who stop desiring worldly things start...
...! And it is NOT going to happen right now anyway; it will take many many lives. Meanwhile, why not do other things? Accumulate more money, prestige, power. Do other things: eat, drink, be merry -- because this is not going to happen, this enlightenment, right now; it will take many many lives. And meanwhile you cannot just go on sitting and waiting; one has to do something." Sleeping people can...
... person, with a new consciousness, reborn. ANOTHER DAY, HER SON FELL INTO THE WATER AND WHEN A BYSTANDER CALLED HER, SHE SAID, "TAKE NO NOTICE." Now even more difficult -- because a house is, after all, a dead thing. We can make another house, money can be earned again. But your son falls into the water, is drowning...this is a more difficult situation, more attachment -- your own son. And for...
