... up the window." You will have to come out of many layers of drunkenness. Greed is a state of drunkenness, and everybody is greedy - greedy for more. Mind continuously asks for more and more, and the demand is never-ending. If you are after money, more money. If you are after political power, more power. If you are after prestige, more prestige. If you are interested in becoming humble, then...
... speak. On the way home, followed by the jeers of his friends, the man cuffed the parrot and said, "You fool - look at the amount of money you lost me!" "It is you who are the fool," said the parrot. "Take me back to that university tomorrow and you will get one hundred-to-one and win!" Yes, parrots are far more intelligent than your professors. Parrots have more insight...
... the flowers does not create poetry in you. The colors of a butterfly are ignored. A rainbow remains unseen. You become too much attached to very mundane things: money, power, prestige. You become ugly because your whole existence becomes ordinary; it loses sacredness, it becomes profane. You transform the temple of God into a marketplace. That is the original fall - but it happens every day...
... charge a man of the cloth." The minister thanked him and left, but he soon returned and presented the pious barber with a Bible. A few hours later, Father Rourke entered the Italian's shop and he, too, got a haircut. Once again the barber refused to accept any payment. "Forget it, Father," he said. "I no take-a money from a priest." Father Rourke left shortly thereafter and...
... returned with a crucifix which he presented to Bonatelli as a token of his appreciation. Toward evening a rabbi entered the shop. He also got a haircut. When the rabbi reached into his pocket, the barber waved the money aside. "That's okay, Rabbi," said Bonatelli. "I no accept-a pay from men who do-a da Lord-a's work." So the rabbi left, and came back with another rabbi! People live...
... able to sleep in the night. Who knows, he may cut your throat. Who knows, he may steal your money and escape. But with your wife or husband you go into deep sleep, you can trust. The child can go with his father or mother anywhere. Even if the father is going into fire, the child can go singing a song, dancing, inquiring, questioning, unafraid, because he knows his hand is in his father's hand. This...
..., their attitude is different; then the conclusions become different. Foong, the laundryman, had been in America ten years and kept sending money to his wife in China, telling the bank clerk proudly that his wife had just had a new baby. "But Mr. Foong," said the clerk, "you have been here in America ten years." "Yes, yes," says the Chinaman happily. "I got velly good...
..., that one need not remain empty. Then one can have a new kind of fullness which does not come by money, by power, by prestige, but comes only through a meditative awareness, a loving awareness. Go as my messenger, spread whatsoever you have tasted here to as many people as possible, and you will see: the more you spread the message, the more deep-rooted you will become in it. You will not lose contact...
... not something of an outsider, he is an insider. There was a function in a Jewish community. They were raising money for the synagogue - the synagogue was in bad condition - so they had sold tickets for a lottery. And now the day had come when the first three prizes were going to be distributed. A man was called and it was declared that he had got the third prize - a Lincoln Continental. The...
.... 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...
