... then the son came and he said: Don't be bothered, everything is okay. The money has been given and the man is not aware at all. He lives in another town, he is not aware. The moment the house caught fire, I ran to the other town. Everything is finished; I have taken the money. Again the father began laughing and enjoying. This is your world, this is how you are behaving - just thoughts; just thoughts...

... you, for a wife, for a husband, for money, for prestige. You destroyed your whole life, the whole opportunity. One feels embarrassed at death. You may feel afraid of death right now, but when death comes, nothing can be done - one accepts it. But then the whole life seems to be absurd, meaningless. THE OLD MAN WAS VERY EMBARRASSED.

If the doctor prescribes fruits, milk, this and that, the poor man says, "Then give me some money...
... to remind him that "I am praying" he says "Ditto." Sufis say, pray in such a way that nobody knows. Why? For the simple reason that ego is very cunning.

It will brag about money, it will brag about meditation, it...

... years of habits, how can you drop them? Impossible. They have become so deep-rooted that people suffer more when they are retired than they have ever suffered, because nobody knows how to rest, how to relax. This is sheer madness!

"Father," she said, "I want to confess that I...

... become humble. Sex is the only energy that gives you hints that there is something which you cannot control.

... will happen -- because I don't see any desire in you. I don't see any flicker, any passionate urge." He has money so he can go anywhere. He is fed-up with his life, bored with his life, so he goes on finding, trying to find at least some thrill, some kick somewhere.

... once a day, and you are a vegetarian, and you live naked, you don't possess any money - you are a saint.

Then you are not simple. Because distinctions have entered, you are distinct. It makes no...
... mentioned many qualifications. He said, "I stood first in my university, and I was offered the vice-presidency of a national bank. I refused because I am not interested in money. I am an honest man, a true man. I have no greed, I'm not bothered about the salary; whatsoever you give me will be okay. And I love work - sixty-five hours per week." When the superintendent who was conducting his...

... became afraid. He asked the priest to come, he begged. When the priest came there was a crowd. Many people were around because the sinner was a great, successful man; he was a politician, he had power, he had money. So, many people had gathered. The sinner asked the priest to come near because he wanted to say something in private. The priest came near and the sinner whispered in his ear, "I know...

..., you feel, "I cannot do anything - just giving that little amount of money is not of much help." It happened once: A Zen master lived in a cottage on a faraway hill, many miles away from the town. One fullmoon night a thief entered. The master became very worried because there was nothing that could be stolen except one blanket, and he was wearing that blanket, so what to do? He became so...

..., that the bridge is very small, very fragile, and can be broken by any accident. And once it is broken, the man functions as two, then he is not one man; for forty minutes he is one man, for forty minutes he is another man. If he borrows money from you, after forty minutes he will deny it; he will say, "I have never taken it." And he is not Lying, remember - he is not Lying. The mind that...
... of existence. In fact, now begins the real life; up to now you were a slave. Now, boundaries are dropping and the whole sky is becoming available to you with all its stars. But in the West it is certainly a very difficult problem. The whole conditioning of centuries has brought man to such a state that sex seems to be everything: it is money, it is power, it is position. Everything is sacrificed...

... here is the money for the second ticket. I will see the second show, I will see the third show, I will not leave here unless I get the point." The manager said, "What point?"

... make you a sannyasin. I can define sannyas as a flying experience to the stars. You should always remain mindful of one thing: that I cannot be deceived. I know how many people are meditating. I know how many people are simply imitating. I know how a few people are simply hanging around. But don't waste your time -- because time is not money, time is life! And if you have taken a step to change, to...

They neither had to create anything, nor did they have to earn money, so...
