... ruling the country for forty years. If you are a Gandhian your victory in the election is certain. The Gandhian cap - a white cap - symbolizes who you are, and this man used to earn so much money just by making caps and selling them. But this year he was sick. He was getting old, and he told his young son, "You will have to go to the marketplace" - which was a few miles away from the village...
... father was alive, the mother was alive. His old father was alive, his own mother was alive and they were dying of starvation. He had no consideration for anybody, no compassion for anybody; all that he needed was more money to go to the pub. And every day people were bringing him home absolutely drunk. He would be lying down in a gutter, or on the street, and somebody would recognize him and bring him...
... home. But whenever he was conscious he was continuously working on Omar Khayyam. He had a tremendous quality as far as poetry is concerned, but in every other respect he was below ordinary humanity. He was ready to lie - he was lying to me every day just to get some money, because he needed money for drinks. And I had told him, "You need not lie to me. You simply ask for the money. I am not...
... loaning it to you, I am simply giving it to you out of friendship. You need not remember that you have to return it." But lying was such a habit to him that he would lie: "My father is very sick today and I have to call the doctor." I said, "I know. The doctor must be in the pub. You take the money, go to the pub and call the doctor." And the next day I would say, "What...
... will never meet Christ on the superhighway. That is possessed by the logicians, the professors, the thinkers, the philosophers. You will have to get down and run into the wilderness. I am reminded of an old story. It happened: A merchant, very old man, was in heavy debt, and the money-lender was a very dangerous man. The money- lender came to the merchant's house. It must have been a morning like...
... this, a winter morning. The merchant was sitting outside in his small garden. Where he was sitting the garden was paved with white and black pebbles. His young and beautiful daughter was also sitting by his side. The money-lender had come to threaten that if the man was not going to pay the money within a certain limit of time, he would be thrown into prison for at least twenty years. But he softened...
... white, and put them in my bag, and then your daughter has to take one pebble from my bag. If she takes the white pebble out, you are freed of your debt, and nothing happens to your daughter. If she takes the black pebble out, then you are freed of your debt, but your daughter will have to marry me." Very reluctantly the father and daughter agreed, because there was no other possibility. The money...
... pebbles and it could not be recognized. Profusely, she wanted to be excused, forgiven. And then she suggested a solution: "Look at the other pebble that is left inside. If it is black, then the one that I withdrew must have been white. If it is white, then the other was black." And the old money-lender could not do anything. The failure was absolute. This is logic by the side. It is not on the...
... a little change I can use it for my own purposes. First his exact statement: he says, "Proletariat" - his word for have-nots - "Proletariat of the world unite, and don't be afraid because you have nothing to lose except your chains." Moments come in history when a small group of people, cunning, clever, start exploiting the whole society. All the money goes on gathering on one...
... millions of people will change our old primitive animalistic ways. It will change our greed, and the day greed is gone there is no question of accumulating money. No revolution has been able to destroy greed; those who come in power become greedy. We have passed through a revolution just now in this country, and it is a very significant example to understand. The people who were leading the revolution in...
... the elders were in the jails, we suffered too because there was nobody to look after the children. There were only women and children left, and Indian women cannot be of much help. They cannot even come out into society; they are not capable of earning money. I know how difficult it was when all the elders of the family were thrown into jail. After the freedom I used to tease them, "Is this...
...; all you need is money. There is not a single individual in the whole country who is not a commodity in the marketplace; all you need is money. Everybody is purchasable - judges are purchasable, police commissioners are purchasable, politicians are purchasable. Even under the British rule this country has never known such corruption. What has the country gained? The rulers have changed, but what does...
... question, it is a revelation. Nancy Reagan had been looking over every paper fan in the pushcart, feeling them, holding them, waving them back and forth. Finally she bought the cheapest - a one-dollar fan. The next day she returned holding the fan which was ripped down the middle. "Look what is happening," she said to the shopkeeper. "I want my money back." The shopkeeper said, "...
... over their continent and we are paying them. For generations we have been paying them but to pay them salaries for no work is not humanitarian. What will they do with that money? They will get drunk; they will take drugs. They will gamble; they will fight, kill each other. What else do they have to do? Money comes without any effort. They will go on creating more and more children because with each...
... child comes more money. To give people money without work is to reduce them into drunkards, gamblers, murderers. You have taken their dignity. On the surface everything looks so whitewashed, clean. It can be claimed that you are giving them money because you are using their land. But the real purpose is to keep them drunk, fighting, gambling, rowdy, and to keep them in such a state that they never...
... owners of this country. Give it back to them. You have reduced them to such a situation that they cannot even struggle for freedom. They are doped, drugged. They are almost asleep. They cannot fight for freedom, they don't know what freedom is. And they don't want it either, because this is going so well: no work, and money is available; no work, and alcohol is available; no work, and all drugs are...
... that kind of torture is going to help spirituality? QUESTION: NO. SO THERE IS AN ECONOMIC IDEA HIDDEN BEHIND THE EXPERIMENT YOU ARE DOING HERE? LIKE PEOPLE COME, THEY INVEST EVERYTHING IN THE COMMUNE, THEY WORK ALL THE DAY; THERE IS NO MONEY GOING AROUND INSIDE THE COMMUNE AND IT'S QUITE DIFFICULT FOR THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE WHO ARE EARNING MONEY THEMSELVES TO UNDERSTAND THIS IDEA OF ECONOMY. CAN YOU...
... patients, for the old, for the sick. And money is no longer a problem -- money does not exist. This is a simple concept of a better society. And slowly, slowly, the whole world should be changed into communes. There is no need for nations, no need for states. Each commune should be an independent commune. No need for any hierarchy and bureaucracy; every commune should decide for itself. So we can...
.... German communes are flourishing, earning money, living comfortably, for the simple reason that people are not lazy. So what has been done -- I had suggested that those Italian communes were never going well and there were fights. And the money is not there, and every month the leader is changing, because the one who was taking care is tired, people don't listen. I have said to send Italian commune...
... have to think for something else: whether to have rockets which are going to the moon. Something else I will have to think about." Q: WHAT SHEELA HAS BEEN FOR YOU AND WHY SHE HAS BEHAVED LIKE THAT? A: Anybody would have behaved like that. Just ordinary unconscious mind finding an opportunity - millions of dollars, thousands of people ready to do anything, so much power, so much money - and she...
... conspiracy against her. Nobody was even bothering about. So what was the point? All that she was collecting - records and tapes, taping all the phones - but it was all meaningless. It is crime but it has not done any harm to us. She has tried to kill two persons. She failed, so no harm has happened. In the eyes of law she has committed grave crimes. She may have stolen money that was coming from European...
... to sixty million dollars she has... This is a big crime - in the eyes of law, not according to me. Because to me money means nothing. We will gather sixty million again, that is not a problem. And we are perfectly comfortably running. She has not stolen from here. It was coming here, we would have made few more roads, few more buildings which were necessary. But because she has stolen the money you...
... are not missing those buildings. You don't even know what those buildings were going to be. So we have not missed anything. And to me money is just meaningless. We can create money, there is no problem about it. So whatever she did, we will try to undo it. And whatever we cannot try to undo it is not much to be bothered about. I have not even talked even for a single moment... When you ask I answer...
...? What happened?" He said, "What happened? He sold me a plot that is now under fifteen feet of water! It has become a big lake. What am I going to do with it? I will kill that man. Otherwise, return my money." The owner said, "Don't be worried; you just sit down." He called his salesman. And the salesman said, "This is not a problem, you just come with me. I will solve it...
.... You need your money? You take your money with fifteen days' interest because I have better buyers ready." The man said, "What?" The salesman said, "Don't change your mind - you take your money with interest, and forget all about that land. It is such a beauty.... You can make a beautiful house on it after the rains, and when the rains come again you can make arrangements so that...
... the same kinds of things - go to Kaaba and everything is forgiven. Mohammedans are poor people, and they are poor because of their belief. They are against taking money on interest or giving money with interest. Now, the whole business depends on interest; they are bound to remain poor. And it is told to them that at least once in life you should go to Kaaba, and that's enough - going seven times...
... Jewish, and although the government attempted to regulate the outgo of food in the interests of all the people, it became notorious that those with money could get all of anything they wanted, regardless of the food cards. The Jews simply trebled the price of the goods they let go without the cards, and so kept a stream of the nation's gold flowing into their private treasuries. None of the...
... desired? — for all Jews are actuated by the same desire; it is in them; they feel the spur to mastery. Having explored the conquest of the higher circles by Jewish money-power, there is yet to explore the conquest of the body of the nation by Jews who had no money except what they could seize in the disorder which they caused. The analysis that is given, follows: The Jew is not an anarchist. He is...
... Empire. It forms a State whose citizens are unconditionally loyal wherever they may be and whether rich or poor. The name which is given in Germany to this State which circulates among all the states is "All-Judaan." The means of power of the State of All-Judaan are capital and journalism, or money and propaganda. All-Judaan is the only State that exercises world government; all the other...

Mar Zutra told me, We warn them thus: False witnesses are despised [even] by their own employers, as it is written, And set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the King.30 IF HE ANSWERS, HE [PERSONALLY] TOLD ME: I OWE HIM [THE MONEY];' OR, 'SO AND SO TOLD ME THAT HE...
