... worth nothing, be he a king or a scholar. It is what he lets go that has meaning and significance. Money, position and learning grow with sharing. In possession alone they die a sad death. A husband, a wife, a son, a father, a mother, a daughter or an uncle, or somebody's friend-all have one eternal tale of woe, "Nobody loves me!" What a tragedy! What ignorance! When will man understand that...
... task of translating some of Buddha's works. For the first time Buddha's teachings were going to be presented in Japanese language. Like many good tasks even this needed money. For ten years the scholar begged and canvassed, At last he managed to collect a sum of ten thousand. About that time Japan was hit by a severe famine. The scholar donated the sum for relief to the needy. A sum of ten thousand...
... the money for the needy. Again his friends reprimanded him. He was by then seventy. At last in another ten, twelve years he was able to get the work of translating Buddha's works completed. On the cover page were printed the words "Third Edition". "What a liar the Sage was! Where were the first two editions? Were the readers being taken for fools-Third Edition indeed!" The Sage...
..., money or scientific progress, calls his occupation a noble attempt to better the world! The businessman who untiringly fills his lockers and bank books with wealth, announces that it is "for the sake of his family"! The social worker who neglects his own family says that he is working for a much larger cause! Man with all his claims to great discoveries and scientific progress-what does he...
... freeing yourself from your money or your house but just freeing yourself from words. And certainly your real world is nothing but words. What is a wife other than a word? Once she was not your wife; suddenly one day some stupid priest starts chanting mantras that he does not understand -- nor do the people who are being married know what is meant by the whole ritual that is going on. One sannyasin got...
..., liberation, moksha, nirvana, a goal -- an achievement. Then it becomes an ego trip. They are trapped, badly trapped. Nirvana has to flower within you. When you have dropped the mind with all its desire, with all its ambitions, with all its program for achievements, when you have dropped your whole mind full of greed .... Whether the greed concerns money, or the greed concerns enlightenment, it does not...
...;happens to all this money?" "It goes to the Lord," answered the priest. "Oh, well," said Paddy, removing his five dollars from the plate, "I am seventy-five years old. I am bound to see the Lord before a young man like you, and I can give it to him personally." That seems to be an absolutely positive attitude: what is the point of giving five dollars to a young priest...
... thousand dogs, and how much money is being spent per dog.... And he goes on collecting donations, and the government allows him to be a tax-exempt, charitable trust. This world certainly needs to be completely renewed. All old values have to be said good-bye to, and new values have to be established. This is possible only by a religious rebelliousness, not ordinary rebelliousness. Never before has a...
... to meditate, suddenly, from nowhere, such beautiful girls start coming. And you open your eyes and there is nobody. And not only girls. If you have not known money, thoughts of money; if you have not known power, thoughts of power; if you have not known what it means to be a celebrity, then a deep desire to become famous... And the mind will go on weaving a thousand and one thoughts and desires...
... people's noses, a few people's eyes, and he may have created a wave of crimes - that is his contribution. And journalism will give great credit to him. Journalists have to learn that it is time to become more mature, more responsible: they should understand that just selling stories, whether true or untrue, just for the sake of earning money - without any concern what they are going to do to human beings...
..., he said, "I will come." Even Rasmani was a little puzzled: the man seems to be a little mad, because no brahmin was ready to come. Ramakrishna said, "Whether the temple is made by an untouchable or by a brahmin, the highest caste, the mother Kali is the same; it doesn't matter. I am coming, and whatever salary you feel is right, must be right. I don't know much about money - you are...
...." I told the crowd, "Just leave them, because they have not done anything; moreover, they are professionals, they have nothing personal against me. They may have got some money, and I am not against that. Have you got the money?" I asked them, "or have you not got it yet?" And these are the moments when you see realities which are not ordinarily available. They said ... they...
.... It is a dead planet, you cannot live on it. It is a strange world the politicians have created. They want to destroy a living earth, a living planet which has everything life needs. And they want to go to the moon, a dead planet which can provide nothing to support you - not a single tree, not a single bird, no animals, no rivers, no oceans. The politicians seem to be really nuts! How much money...
... has been wasted to reach the moon! The same money could have saved Ethiopia. Man is continuously trying to prove himself superior. One of my friends, who was also a colleague of mine in the university, told me, "I am in a difficulty and I cannot talk about it to anybody. You are the only one I know who may perhaps understand my situation, and may be of some help." I said, "What is the...
... by earning money, power, prestige: making their prison cells a little bit better - maybe putting in an air-conditioner, installing electric lights, having a television set.... People are not really interested in getting out of the prison. If they are interested then nobody can prevent them. Maybe it takes effort, constant effort, perseverance, but they can get out of it. The bachelor prayer: "...
... dreams - I have lived with both. Criminals dream of becoming saints and saints dream of becoming criminals. It is a very upside- down world, a very strange world! Criminals are always thinking of how to become good, and saints are always dreaming of all that they have repressed: their sexuality, their desire for food, for money, for power.... They may be so deceptive that even their dreams are not...
... possibilities, can inquire about the ultimate life. Those who are still worried about their bodies and employment and money and business, they cannot come to me - I am not for them. Only the spiritual seekers will be here. And to me, the capitalist system is the only system that can transform humanity towards spirituality. It is not illogical on the part of Karl Marx to deny religion, to say that there is no...
... need for religion. In fact, communism will never allow people to be religious; they will always remain so poor that they will never be fed up with life, they will remain always hoping. The poor person always lives in hopes and desires and fantasies. It is only the rich person who starts getting tired of food, of sex, of money, of power, of prestige; he has seen it all and he has found that it is not...
... was deeply moved by it and enjoyed it so much that, when the time came for the collection plate to be passed around, he pulled out a five-hundred-dollar bill and placed it on the plate. The preacher was ecstatic when he saw the money, and launched into a heartfelt talk about the virtues of generosity. "Such a fine example of Christian charity!" he declared with great emotion. "The man...
... who offered this money may choose any hymn he wants." The gay guy stood up excitedly and started to gesticulate wildly. "I'll take him!" - pointing to a handsome young man in the pew. "And him... and him!" You are not listening to me! I am saying something else! You are hearing something totally different, diametrically opposite to it. I am a simple man. I am not in any way...
