... dangerous. Such experiences as the one you had last night will be thought crazy. They are not of any utilitarian use. And society is based fundamentally on utility, so it closes all those dimensions which can be called spiritual, religious. It keeps the mind one-pointedly focused on ambitions - for money, power, prestige. It allows a few people to move into traditional ways in the world of religion, but...
... experiences, more and more will be coming to you. Just don't remain confined to the world of things and objects and money and power and sensuality. Try to become more and more a man of consciousness, awareness, sincerity and truthfulness. Cathy came home with a brand new mink coat. "Where did you get that?" asked her husband Edward. "I won it in a lottery," she replied. The next night...
... life. Money alone is not richness. There are so many greater things than money. If you can meditate in the different areas of your activities you will be making different dimensions richer, deeper. But don't be serious. If a serious person is disturbed, he is angry. I remember, my grandfather was a very serious meditator.... I was always watching. Whenever he meditated I would disturb him. Anything...
... spirituality and I don't think about small, mundane things - a cup of coffee or money, these things don't matter. You should have reminded me. Today you have reminded me. You all are invited to my house. Come for dinner. The whole cafe... friends, acquaintances, strangers.... It doesn't matter, everybody has to come; then you will know how generous I am." They could not believe it, but he was inviting...
... that you lost trust, which is an immense treasure of your being. By trusting everybody you can lose a few things. They may steal your money, but if you can continue to trust even those... trust is a great treasure. Trusting people who can cheat you, who are going to cheat you, is real trust. I am not going to cheat you, I am not going to steal anything from your house. I have already stolen you. I am...

He was afraid to send him enough for the whole month, because that would go into purchasing paints and canvases. But he was not aware what he had done to his brother. Out of seven days he used to eat three days -- one day here, one day...
... there -- and four days he saved money to purchase canvases, colors, brushes, whatever is needed for painting. No man has been so mad that he was dying of hunger and starvation, but that was the only way to paint. And the great difficulty was -- otherwise things would have been easier and more comfortable -- he did not manage to sell a single painting, because his paintings were the paintings of a...
..., have all the money. Naturally every child wants to grow up faster. No child enjoys his childhood. If a child can enjoy his childhood, he will be able to enjoy his youth and he will be able to enjoy his old age, and he will be able finally to enjoy even his death. Everything begins from the beginning. But I have never come across a child who enjoys it. He is waiting for youth to come, when he will...
... money to feed people in the ashram. The ashram is absolutely unproductive. It needs fifty, sixty thousand rupees per month just to keep those people living comfortably, feeding them enough." I said, "You need not be worried now. When I am here my people will be coming from all over the world. Then fifty, sixty thousand rupees don't matter at all. Then think in millions of dollars -- not less...
... -- Epicurus in Greece, Charvaka in India -- they are eating, drinking, womanizing, but at the very end they find nothing but frustration. Something is missing. They may have all the money, all the power, everything that a man can ask for, but still inside they are empty, hollow. They may be dancing, but their dance has nothing of divinity in it. Their dance is just an exercise of the body. There is no soul...
... everything complex. In South Africa only fifteen percent of the population is white, and these fifteen percent white are invaders. Eighty-five percent of the people, the natives of the land, have been living in slavery for centuries. They are simply slaves, servants, working in the coal mines, gold mines, diamond mines. Those mines belong to them, but they get only a little bit of money to survive. And the...
.... The goal seekers are mediocre people. They have a certain goal and they reach; they become the president of a country, they have arrived; they wanted so much money and they have found it.

By finding the goal they have simply found that they have been fools, that they have been running...
... enlightened suddenly they find utter fulfillment. And the people who are looking for fulfillment cannot find it. In money, in power, in politics, in relationships - they go on searching everywhere for fulfillment, and everywhere they come across frustration. Their whole life is nothing but a futile exercise. Although they are asking for fulfillment, they always get frustration because they have forgotten to...
... said, "Yes, I trust him, because whenever I have asked, ?Shrikant, just for five minutes can you give me my fountain pen?' he will immediately give me not one, but six fountain pens. He will say, ?You can choose any you want. You can have all six if you want.' "He is a very loving person. Sometimes when I need money I ask, ?Shrikant, a new book has come to the bookstall and I need thirty...
... rupees to purchase it.' " He says, "Don't be worried," and he will give me thirty rupees. I ask, "From where did you get them?" He says, "Don't be worried. That is none of your business. If the person catches me, it is my responsibility; you have nothing to do with it. I have simply loaned it to you. You purchase the book, and whenever you have the money you can give it to...
.... He is going just for two days, and he has given money for two days expenses; then he will be coming back." So they allowed him to go. And the woman told me later on, "If you have more of this kind of act... for just a five minute act, five rupees." And in those days five rupees was great money.
