... harbour the tax should be paid. Probably an allusion to the Roman custom of placing a coin in the mouth of the corpse as a kind of passage-money to the other world. Rashi: K., who was laying down his life for the sake of Israel, was going to the hereafter without having conformed to the Jewish rite of circumcision. This Roman matron's assertion, that Paradise would be closed to the uncircumcised, did...
..., say yes to everything. What can you lose by saying yes? Yes, somebody can take your money - so let him. Somebody can deceive you a little - so what basically is lost? But you will be gaining so much out of your yes-saying. It is not for your whole life that you have to say yes to everybody and everything. This is just a temporary measure to help you break the old habit. So if you really want to come...
... try on some new shoes. As the clerk bends over to measure her foot, Gloria, who is very shortsighted, sees his bald head, and thinks it is her bare knee showing. Quickly, she pulls her skirt over it. Immediately, there is a muffled cry. "Shit!" shouts the clerk, "There goes the electricity again!" Farmer Hayseed keeps the best bull in the neighborhood and makes money renting its...
... constantly growing. Never be satisfied with the inner growth. Remain in a constant discontent as far as the inner is concerned. People are upside-down.

How much money you have doesn't matter; be contented with it. If it satisfies your...

Ordinarily we go on searching for a freedom that is for the self: 'I want to be free' - this is the worldly search. Hence people desire money because that will make them more free. Prestige, power - they will make you more free, you will be less limited, you will have a little longer rope. The...
... unsatisfied as they are, both are incapable of accepting themselves as they are; they want to deny it. Somebody wants to deny it by having more money or more power, more fame; somebody else tries to deny it by having more spiritual experiences, psychic experiences. But the basic thing is the same: both are trapped in becoming. And once you are trapped in becoming you forget who you are. Then the becoming...
... state. And if love goes still deeper it can create the fourth state of consciousness - of full awareness, of Buddhahood. Prem means love, baulo means mad - one who is mad because of love. And that is the highest kind of sanity possible. There are people who are mad for money; that is the worst kind of insanity. There are people who are mad for power; and there are a thousand and one kinds of madness...
... foolish. That's why youth is foolish, because it is unaware of. the most important thing in life - that is death. It is almost unconscious of the only certainty in life - that is death. It is so certain of other things which are all uncertain: love, happiness, success, money, power. It is so certain about these things, which are all uncertain. Only of death is it not aware - which is absolutely certain...

Betty wins custody of their young son, Bert, and three hundred dollars a month in child support from Boris. On the first of every month, Betty sends Bert to Boris to pick up the money. And every...
... 'fellowman.' But for 'oppression' also three are written, viz., and thou shalt not oppress him,21 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger,22 and [If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee,] thou shalt not be to him as a usurer23 which includes a proselyte! — But [say] both [are forbidden] by three [injunctions].
