... family can live without money." The other gambler became interested wanting to know immediately what the system was. He asked, " Does it work?" The friend replied, "The system is wonderful but there is one loophole - it doesn't work. That's the only loophole; otherwise the system is wonderful." All systems are wonderful. Those of Hegel, Kant, Marx are all wonderful. The only...
..., but you will never become a great being. You may accumulate enough of wealth, but you will lose all that is of worth. You may conquer the whole world like an Alexander, but your own inner territory will remain unconquered. There are many attractions to follow the left-hemisphere brain -- that is the worldly brain. It is more concerned with things: cars, money, houses, power, prestige. That is the...
... try the futile. And one NEVER says that the object of desire is wrong; when you are in positive sublime emptiness, you say desire is wrong, not the object of desire -- this is the difference. In negative emptiness you say the object of desire is wrong, so change the object ! If it is wealth, money, power -- drop it! Make the object God, liberation, heaven -- change the object!

... not to be there -- because the whole thing is so ugly. You cannot sell love, you can sell the body. You cannot sell your heart, you can sell your skill.

But now... more than those dollars, the priest was worried about...
... I saw three locks - big locks, bigger than you may have ever seen - and I came to know the story. In Devas, there is only one Jaina temple, and this was the temple. Jainas are few; they don't have enough money to make two temples, so they have made one temple and divided the time. Up to twelve o'clock in the morning, Digambaras will worship, and after twelve, Svetambaras will worship... but there...
... has always been arising, but the tumult of your desires is great - you have become a market-place. Your mind is constantly chattering. It can chatter about money, it can chatter about meditation. It can chatter about politics, it can chatter about religion. It can chatter on anything. It can start thinking about enlightenment, what it is, how to attain it... and you are missing all the time! Please...
... would not have been able to sit down silently. To make you sit down silently, you have to be made to run for miles. Only when you are utterly tired and frustrated, then you can drop even the idea of finding enlightenment. Then you are utterly silent. You have forgotten about property, money, possessions, power, prestige, long before, because you staked everything for enlightenment. Now, the only thing...
... nobody is going to respect you as a mahatma. If you want this identity then you will have to fast. You will have to adjust to the demands of a mediocre society. And everywhere the society consists of mediocre minds - the middle class, the bourgeoisie; those who have known nothing except chasing after money and power, those who have never seen anything in depth, those who are not aware at all of the...
