... into the bungalow, then he would go running from his bungalow to his car. So I asked him, "What is the matter?" He said, "If you look at your servants they start feeling friendly, and then they start asking about money and this and that. If you talk with your children, then you are not the master, then you cannot control them." So he created a facade of insensitivity around...
... himself. He was afraid that if he talked with a servant, if he should feel that the servant was ill, if he sympathized, then he would have to give some money or some help. Everyone learns sooner or later that to be sensitive is to be vulnerable to many things. You pull yourself in, you create a barrier around yourself that is a safeguard - a safety measure. Then you can go on through the streets...
... you are non-desiring, the whole world becomes divine. Now I will read this question again. YOU HAVE SAID THAT TANTRA TEACHES MAN TO TRANSCEND BOTH HIS CRAVING FOR HIS ANIMALISTIC PAST, AND ALSO HIS CRAVING FOR THE DIVINE. Tantra teaches only to transcend craving. It is irrelevant what you crave - that you crave is the point. You can go on changing the objects. You crave money, you crave power, you...
... running after prestige and power and money. Now it is running after divine power. It is running after the ultimate, moksha, the absolute freedom, but the craving is there. Ordinarily, religious people go on changing their objects of desire. Desire remains the same, unchanged. And it is not the objects which create the problem; it is the desire, the craving, which creates the problem. Tantra says it is...
... upside down. It is not too different from suppression. It is the same thing standing on its head. Someone told me about a sadhu who used to turn his face away from money. Is turning one's face away much different from one's mouth watering at the sight of money? The same thing will happen if you try to run away from greed. Greed will not cease to be, it will take another form. And the big problem is...
... God that is within you. Kabir says: YOU DON'T GRASP THE FACT THAT WHAT IS MOST ALIVE OF ALL IS INSIDE YOUR OWN HOUSE... But nobody teaches you. The whole teaching is: "Go out! Search for money, for power, for prestige" -- and they are not found within. Peace is found within, silence is found within, stillness is found within, godliness is found within. But those are not the goals that you...
... reading, studying, is going to create more and more confusion, because who is going to interpret it? "Listen," the man said to his friend Albert, "I have got this female gorilla that I bought a while back. It cost me a lot of money. The problem is that I can't find any male gorilla to mate with it. I was wondering if you would mate with my gorilla for a hundred dollars." "Hmmm...
... competitiveness. This competitiveness is there in the marketplace, it is in the monastery too. In the marketplace it can be forgiven, but not in the monastery. When people are rushing for money, it's okay, understandable, that they will be competitive. But for virtue too, the same rush? And once the goal becomes too important, then means lose all importance. When the end becomes all-important, then any means...
... so he took all the money!" Competition, competition, competition... everywhere competition. And this story is not just a story: if you ask Sigmund Freud he will say exactly this that that is from where Competition arises. Small boys become very much worried about their genital organs: "Who has the bigger one?" All competition is rooted there, originates there! And then it spreads all...
..., you are just like a small child. You have not lived there, and the same things exist there also. Again it is a market. When Jesus entered the temple of Jerusalem, he entered with a whip and he started beating people, because many shopkeepers had entered the temple and many money-lenders. He turned their tables upside down and he said: "You have made my God's temple a market. You traders - you...
... get out!" This is really something - one single man, and the whole crowd of traders escaped. Truth has a strength of its own. When something is true, you immediately become weak, because you are a liar and you immediately understand: That's right. Those shopkeepers didn't fight; those money-lenders could have killed Jesus; he was alone and they were many. But simply at the truth of it they...
... suffer for it, and she will suffer because she will be making you impure. Don't do such harm to each other. Why in the first place think of marriage? Remain pure! "Daddy," said young David, "what is puppy love?" "The beginning of a dog's life, my son." Murphy says: Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening. The three faithful things in life are money, a...
... dog and an old woman. So either get married to money or to a dog or to an old woman! If you are so much interested in purity, if you are so much wedded to purity, don't ask for a real woman. Find a plastic woman. You can always clean it and soap it. Why bother with real people? Real people are real people. Two expectant fathers paced the floor in the waiting room of the hospital. "What tough...
..., others who are almost mad, others who are almost incapable of seeing things. Keller paid a lot of money for Buck, a golden retriever. One morning Keller went duck hunting with Buck. Within ten minutes he shot a duck that fell into a pond. Buck ran over the surface of the water, picked up the duck, returned running over the top of the water, and laid it at the feet of his master. The rest of the morning...
... return, Dick and Sally went out looking for him. They found the dog making it with a French poodle. "Did he ever do this before?" asked Sally. "No," said Dick, "this is the first time he ever had any money." Opportunity.... You can escape from the opportunity, that will not change your being. Outwardly you will become a monk; inwardly you will remain the same person...
... only appear to hear, but they don't listen. But by chance even if you meet him, what are you going to ask? A new wife, a new husband, another place to live, a little longer life, youth...? What are you going to ask? - money, power, prestige? Whatsoever you ask will be stupid. A black man worshipped God, praying every day for six years. He was always asking for this or that problem to be resolved. God...
... sharing your bliss. Sharing is the very foundation, the source. Share your truth, share your meditation, share your love. Share whatsoever inner beauty arises in you, whatsoever inner glow arises in you. Share your inner flame and never be a miser, and you will become richer and richer, and there is no end to that richness. In the ordinary world sharing will make you poor. If you share your money you...
... know what else to do. Just doing something with the mouth keeps them occupied. If they are not eating they are talking, if they are not talking they are smoking, if they are not smoking they are chewing gum - - as if the mouth has to remain continuously occupied. Stan and Sid, both on the road with noncompeting merchandise, usually traveled together, sharing the same car and hotel rooms to save money...
.... Who is going to follow Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin or Ayatollah Khomeini? Who is going to follow these people? Only slaves, only people who don't know what they are doing. A young sports car enthusiast saved up enough money to buy the latest model of sports car. After trying out the car, he went to his favorite pub to brag to all his friends about it. "Shit, man - my new car is so fantastic...
