.... But they have made a will that their money should be used to protect their body, because there is a rumour in scientific circles that within twenty years it will be possible to revive a person. So they have made a trust-fund out of their whole properties. It is very costly - almost ten thousand dollars per day - but their bodies are being taken care of so that nothing goes wrong. So after twenty...
... years, when science becomes capable of reviving them, they will be revived. Now these twenty years... and even after twenty years when you are revived, what are you going to do? You will repeat the same foolishness that you were doing before. You will again start chasing women, and competing in the market, and arranging money to die and be protected again. What is the point of it all? Man is so afraid...
... Hindu, I am not a Mohammedan, I am not a Jaina - I don't belong to any religion. So I am not a priest, I am not a preacher. I simply love pure religion. Let me tell you an anecdote. Mr. and Mrs. Goldberg had scrimped and saved to put their eldest son through college. At last they had the money and decided to send him to a fine, highbrow Eastern boarding school. They saw him off on the train and...
... three hundred dollars.' His wife turned to the children and said, 'What a wonderful man your father is. Even when he's dying he's got the brains to realise who owes him money.' The old man continued, 'And Sara, I want you also to know that I owe the landlord a hundred dollars.' To which the wife cried, 'Ho ho, now he's getting delirious.' Whatsoever you want to hear is right, otherwise 'ho ho!' Then...
..., and they were very happy being hit because the lost companion was found. This is Vedanta's attitude, that in the world we go on collecting everything, possessing money, power, prestige, just forgetting ourselves - but that is the most precious thing. I was the second person to speak. You know I am crazy, so I said, "This story is just absurd." The whole conference was shocked: This is an...
.... So there is no question of any other planet creating a war against us. There will be no defense department - which is the most destructive department, killing millions of people unnecessarily, because all of the money goes on pouring into more and more death material. Who is interested in life? Perhaps, except this small commune, in this whole world nobody is interested in life. Politicians are...
... suicide?" And they were shocked the same way: "Why have you asked this question? Why should we think of committing suicide? We want to live - we have not lived yet." One beggar told me, "I have been putting my money in a bank hoping that one day I will drop this begging and just live a relaxed life. Once in a while I would like to give something to a beggar. People have insulted me...
... them in front of the orphanage. He wanted me to come to see the orphanage. I said, "Sometime later on I will see it, because I know whatever is there will make me unnecessarily sad." But he insisted, so one time I went, and what I saw.... They were taking every care, he was pouring his money on those children, but they were all ready to die just any moment. Doctors were there, nurses were...
...." The third day he relaxed and he accepted it. Again he was even bigger news - that he had accepted it. Two or three days he waited. As the news was cooling down, he donated it. Again the news became hot, because it is not only a prize, it has money with it too, big money. I think right now it is nearabout two hundred thousand dollars. Again he exploded all over the news media, and after two...
.... I am neither higher nor lower. Not that I am just like the others - I am different - but there is no higher and lower." We are all different and unique human beings, but nobody is lower and nobody is higher - and the whole effort to become higher is stupid. But a man can go to the monastery. Now, he cannot earn money there, but he can earn virtue. He can become more and more religious - he...
... changed. One day you were just seeking more and more indulgence - more and more money, more and more women and men. Now you have become afraid and you start escaping, running away from the world, but your stupidity has not changed. Your inner being remains the same. You are trying to do the impossible. Unless your innermost core changes, is transformed becomes luminous with a new light and new awareness...
.... And the meditators have failed because instead of being nothing, instead of being nobodies, instead of being the experience of utter emptiness, SHUNYATA, they were full of mantras, chanting, praying, repeating any word constantly. But they were not nothing, they were not in a state of nothingness. Maybe they were not thinking of the market, not thinking of money, not thinking of politics - but they...
... dollars that the black horse gets to the river before the white horse." "Okay, you're on!" exclaims the second Polack. A few seconds later, the white horse and his rider splash into the river ten lengths ahead of the black horse. "Listen," said the second Polack after a pause, "I can't take your money. I have seen this movie before and I knew that the white horse would win...
... is very superficial. In fact they know nothing of clarity; what they call clarity is just stupidity. Idiots are very very clear -- clear in the sense that they do not have the intelligence to feel confusion. To feel confusion needs great intelligence. Only the intelligent ones feel confusion; otherwise the mediocres go on moving in life, smiling, laughing, accumulating money, struggling for more...
... power and fame. If you see them you will feel a little jealous; they look so confident, they even look happy. If they are succeeding, if their money is increasing and their power is increasing and their fame is growing, you will feel a little jealous. You are so confused and they are so clear about their life; they have a direction, they have a goal, they know how to attain it, and they are managing...
... really one: at-one-ment happens. A man came to Buddha and asked, "I am very rich and I have no children, and my wife has also died. Now I have all the money in the world. I would like to do some meritorious work. I would like to do something for the poor and the downtrodden. Just tell me, what should I do?" And it is said Buddha became very sad and a tear rolled down from his eye. The man was...
.... He is surprised at the politeness of the girl. In the morning he gets dressed and is about to depart. "How about some money?" says the girl. "Oh, no," he replies, "you have been kind enough already." The traveling saleswoman goes to bed with the farmer's son. Trying to get something going, she says to him, "Would you trade sides with me? Roll over me and I will...
... a great master, but according to me you are a great slave-creator. You are taking people's freedom. You cannot be a compassionate sympathizer; you are really bragging about your followers the same way somebody brags about his money, somebody brags about his political power. You are not an authentic master." That night in Firozabad I had to speak. The shankaracharya had called a meeting and he...
... those blazing guns without even looking left or right!" "Not at all," replies the man, looking around, casually. "You see, I owe money to everyone here!" Olga Kowalski comes bouncing enthusiastically downstairs in her new Kung Fu outfit. Kowalski takes one look at her, and puts his hand over his face. "Good God, Olga!" groans Kowalski. "Now what are you doing...
