..., because to reach the gods one has to pay a big bribe. Not only men take bribes, the gods are also very clever, they also ask for bribes! And a man will agree to a small amount of money - he is poor - but gods will not agree to a small amount. Only if it is a big pile of money will they look at it, otherwise they cannot even see it. So it is very difficult, but at least one crore rupees will need to be...
... because of their deception humanity has continued to suffer. Otherwise, we have enough intelligence. If we can reach to the moon, do you think we cannot manage enough food for humanity? Q: PERHAPS WE ARE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY REACHING THE MOON. A: That, too, is foolish. If you cannot feed people here, what are you going to do on the moon? Seventy-five percent of every nation's income, even poor...
.... Either let the poor die, or if you are REALLY compassionate, then stop this wastage of your energy and money for war efforts and drop these boundaries between nations. Let there be only one government -- which is enough! There is no need for America and Soviet Union and India and Ethiopia. Just let there be one global government. Q: WHO WOULD BE ITS PRESIDENT, RONALD REAGAN? A: Certainly not! Q: YOU? A...
... your nuclear weapons and all your war efforts and all the money that you go on pouring into them. Or, if you cannot do that -- and nobody is willing to do that -- these hypocrites go on calling themselves compassionate. What kind of compassion is this? [text missing here in change from tape one, side A to side B] ... a little butter to the Ethiopians. For four years they have been dying, because for...
... your money, it will decrease. In the higher economics, which is my business, the more you share, the more existence goes on pouring into you. It is just like a well: you go on drawing water from the well and new water goes on flowing from everywhere. If you stop drawing water from the well, the water will become stale, dead, even poisonous. Bliss has to be shared. It is not out of compassion. That is...
... stops this nonsense, what is the need to be poor. We have so much energy, so much money, so much scientific intelligence. But strange, in England, in Europe, in America, too, they are destroying food and Ethiopia is dying, and soon India will be in the same position. And if you see Rajiv Gandhi, tell him that he will be responsible for India's poverty and people dying there, because he is exporting...
... mean what I say. Q:* DO YOU THINK THAT IF THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD DID NOT INVEST SUCH A LARGE PART OF THEIR MONEY, OF THEIR GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT IN NUCLEAR ARSENALS, THEY WOULD HAVE USED IT MORE MEANINGFULLY? THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND SOME ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF CREATING A SITUATION OF TERROR IN THE WORLD? A:* The question is whether they invest in nuclear weapons or into something else all depends on...
... he was dying, on his deathbed - he was still planning some new industries, some new enterprises - somebody asked him, 'Sir, you are dying! And the doctors say you will not survive more than a few days. They are not even certain about that; you may die today or tomorrow. Now, why? And you have been doing this your whole life. And you have so much money, more than you can spend, more than you can do...
... anything with. It is useless money. Why did you go on increasing your enterprises? For a moment Henry Ford must have stopped his planning, and said 'Listen. I cannot stop. That is impossible. Only death will stop me, I cannot stop. While I am alive I will go on and on reaching for a higher rung. I know it is meaningless but I can't stop!' When you are succeeding in the world it is difficult to stop. When...
... 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...
