These Jews are so hot after money that they are afraid of...
... become that peak of bliss; all that is needed is not to be satisfied with the ordinary. People are happy running after power and prestige, money and respectability. Who bothers about bliss? And when millions of people around you are running after money, you think that there must be something in it; so many people can't be wrong. The truth is that so many people can't be right! Truth is a rare quality...
... start decorating it, because by the morning you have to go. You don't start any attachment with the things in it because in the morning you have to go. Once the world is thought of as a passage, not as a home, things start changing: then money is not that relevant, power and prestige and respectability mean nothing. Then energy is not wasted in things which mean nothing. One starts searching for the...
... woman who impairs her kethubah.2 R. Mordecai went to R. Ashi and submitted to him this argument: One can well imagine [the origin of the exemption], according to him who holds [that the oath is one incumbent] upon a woman who impairs her kethubah [by assuming that] it occurred to the woman that she might sometime be in need of money and would draw it from her kethubah and would, therefore, tell...

In the first place, all who take an oath in accordance with Pentateuchal law, do so and do not pay,49 while...
... one case why may it not be so assumed in the other? That its abortion constitutes a valid birth. In that of a firstling of cattle and in that of a woman's uncleanness (as will be explained presently). Lit., 'at'. A first-born son must be redeemed by the payment of five shekels to the priest. And the son born subsequently is no firstborn, and no redemption money on his behalf need be paid to the...
... priest. In favour of the possessor of the money. The priest, therefore, cannot claim the redemption money (cf. prev. n. but one). Its wool. With the animal.

Which imposes uncleanness upon the woman. Also a ritual matter. R. Joshua. Whether the...
... of property [lit., 'money'] being meant? — I will tell you: Go forth and learn from the thirteen principles whereby the Torah is interpreted. [one of which is that] a law is interpreted by its general context: of what does the text speak? of [crimes involving] capital punishment: hence this too refers [to a crime involving] capital punishment.21 Another [Baraitha] taught: Ye shall not steal...
...:22 The Writ refers to theft of property. You say thus, but perhaps it is not so, Scripture referring to the theft of human beings? — I will tell you: Go forth and learn from the thirteen principles whereby the Torah is interpreted,[one of which is that] a law is interpreted by its general context. Of what does the text speak? of money matters;23 therefore this too refuse to a...
... money [theft]. It has been stated: If the witnesses of the abduction or those of the sale of human being were proved zomemim,24 — Hezekiah said: They are not executed; R. Johanan maintained that they are. Now Hezekiah's ruling agrees with the view of R. Akiba, viz., [At the the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall] the matter [be established]:25 the whole...
... rise to the heights of joy and beauty and love. They have drowned the whole humanity in misery and suffering, they have not taught you freedom. On the contrary, they have enforced on you all kinds of slavery in the name of obedience. Obedience to whom? Obedience to the priests, obedience to those who have money, obedience to those who have power - in short, obedience to all the vested interests. A...
.... "You are wasting your time, young man," she tells the robber. "I have no money. I have just deposited it all in the bank." "We will see about that," says the robber, and he begins fumbling under her black gown to search for the money. "Oh! What are you doing?" cries the Mother Superior. "Oh! Oh!" she gasps as he looks disappointed. "Don't stop now...
..., round and round the whole world, not knowing what you are searching for. Somebody is searching for power without knowing that power never satisfies anyone. Somebody is running after money, knowing perfectly well that there have been millions of people who have had an immense amount of money, and it does not help understanding.

...; "Doctor," cries Klopman, "if you do that, when I get well, I will donate five thousand dollars for your new hospital." Months later, Bones meets Klopman in the street. "How do you feel?" he asks. "Wonderful, doctor, just fine!" says Klopman. "Never felt better!" "I have been meaning to speak to you," says Bones. "What about the money for...
... not hide herself and that she was not defiled, and if you do not believe [them] that she did not hide herself and was not defiled, do not believe [them] that she was pledged. In Ashkelon [it happened] for the sake of money, and [yet] the reason [why the Sages permitted her to her husband was] because witnesses testified concerning her, but if witnesses did not testify concerning her [she would] not...
... [have been permitted]; and is it not [also to be supposed] that there is no difference whether she was pledged or imprisoned?3 — No, when she was pledged it is different.4 Some put [this argument] in the form of a contradiction. We have learned: IF FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY SHE IS PERMITTED TO HER HUSBAND. But here is a contradiction: 'R. Jose testified etc.' [Now] in Ashkelon [it...
... happened] for the sake of money and [yet] the reason [why she is permitted to her husband] is because witnesses testify concerning her, but if no witnesses testify concerning her, [she would] not [have been permitted]. And it is answered: R. Samuel b. Isaac said: It is no contradiction; here5 [it speaks] when the hand of Israel is strong over the heathens, [and] there6 when the hand of the...
... to be equally divided.16 Where the grandfather17 and the levir [claim their shares] in the estate of the 'doubtful son' or where the grandfather17 and the 'doubtful son' [claim their shares] in the estate of the levir, the estate is to be regarded as money of uncertain ownership and is to be equally divided.16 MISHNAH.

...; every society keeps you poor. On your account every society, particularly those who are in power -- either through money or through politics or through religion or through knowledge, or for any reason -- those who are in power don't want people to have their own minds. It is dangerous to their interests. They want not men but sheep, not individuals but crowds, who are always in need of being led, who...
... takes you above the mind, and the breakdown simply pulls you to a subhuman level. But for that too society is responsible. It gives you too much ambition, which it cannot fulfill. It gives you too much desire -- for money, for power -- which it cannot fulfill. It only teaches you how to go on climbing the ladder of success, higher and higher, and tells you to be quick, because you have only a small...
... life, and so much has to be done! There is no time for living, no time for loving, no time for rejoicing. People go on postponing everything that is meaningful. Tomorrow they will laugh; today, money has to be gathered... more money, more power, more things, more gadgets. Tomorrow they will love -- today there is no time. But tomorrow never comes, and one day they find themselves burdened with all...

You have become the president of the country and you are saying, "Here is nothing -- don't bother. This is simply a ladder...
