these are two things right now in the
world which is taking
almost 95 of human energy
money and sex
everywhere you see it's dripping
with either money or sex every
advertisement every magazine every book
is something right or wrong about it
even 95 is a conservative estimate
yes
almost hundred percent
[Music]
this
question is something most of us
face in our day-to-day lives
it's about money
and why
man is so enormously obsessed
with money
is there something like a healthy
attitude that one can develop towards
and
say something
about what's unhealthy about money
money is just a means isn't it
man is not obsessed with money
man is obsessed
with what money can buy
isn't it
it is the empowerment that the money
brings
which people want
it's not the money that they want the
empowerment that the money gives you
isn't it
the excess and the freedom that it gives
you with the physical world
with which people want
so
money is not the thing money has a means
yes
so is something wrong with money what's
wrong we created it isn't it
otherwise we could still continue our
transaction in barter system
because our transactions got complicated
barter became too tricky
we created currency
currency became too tricky so we created
a card
so
it is just a means is something right or
wrong about it
nothing right or wrong about it
if money is in your pocket
it makes your life easy and comfortable
because you have some money in your
pocket you're sitting here today
thinking of inner development and things
if you were in the slum with no money in
your pocket
today you wouldn't be sitting here doing
shambhavi mahamudra isn't it
you would be just struggling to keep
that house going
or building a boat to float inside your
house
something like that isn't it
because you got a little money in your
pocket
today you can sit here no matter it's
raining
it's going to flood if it floods it's
okay we'll stay in the hotel
[Music]
because there's little money in your
pocket this much freedom isn't it so
there's no money at all in your pocket
this wouldn't be possible
so nothing wrong with money
money in your pocket is good
if it stays in the pocket
if it enters your head it becomes a
perversion
but most people it's entered their head
and it's become a perversion keep the
money in your pocket
makes life easy and good
you can sit and meditate
yes
if you have enough money that you don't
have to work for your living tomorrow
you can just take off one month and just
meditate isn't it
which the man who's struggling for money
for tomorrow's food cannot do even if he
wishes to do
so money in the pocket is very good
[Music]
money in your
head that's a perversion which will
destroy you
you must keep everything in its place
these are two things right now in the
world which is taking
almost 95 of human energy
money and sex
these two things
are right now consuming almost 95
percent of human potential is it so
even 95 is a conservative estimate
yes
almost hundred percent
as money is in your pocket is good and
nice
similarly if sex is in your body it is
nice
but if it enters your head it becomes a
perversion
it's gotten into people's heads
it's not in their body it's gotten into
their heads
if it was in their body it wouldn't be
all the time
it would be only some time isn't it
it's gotten into their heads and it's
all the time this is a disease
if you know how to keep money in your
pocket and sex in your body
then you would you live your life well
you got both these things into your head
now you can't live well
you look you live like
a deceased person because
it will rule you from inside and destroy
you in many different ways
everything beautiful about you will be
taken away once money and sex enters
your head isn't it
right now do you see
the whole world is painted either with
money or sex
at least the civilized part of the world
isn't it so
everywhere you see it's dripping
with either money or sex just drive in
bombay city and see every advertisement
every magazine every book it's either
dripping with money or sex isn't it so
now these two things if they fall into
their natural places where they should
be
they are not a problem they are fine
they have their own beauty attached to
it
but if you
exaggerate it in your mind
then everything becomes
ugly so money has become a problem
because you don't know where to keep it
keep it in your pocket
it's a good thing
[Music]
if you're feeling stress
tension anxiety you must know your own
intelligence is turned against you if
you understand all human experiences
coming from within how can you not
engineer yourself to perfection inner
engineering essentially means to
bringing yourself to a state where all
the faculties of being human
works for you not against you
[Music]
