because if you want to spend, you have to go into the marketplace.
-All spending is with people. One earns alone, one spends with people. But if you go on spending, sooner or later you feel that your pockets are becoming empty, your bank balance disappearing -- so again go in... touch your treasury again. Find your inner treasures again... become rich. Then come back -- because if you remain in and just become rich, and go on becoming rich, never coming out to spend, you will become a miser.

Run fast! You can even have a bicycle or something (more laughter), because the cave has to be reached. It is there... and I am waiting in the cave. If you reach there, only then can you find me (a chuckle) -- otherwise it will be difficult. The one time you saw me, I was looking for you outside the cave, that's why! You go on looking!
[A sannyasin says: No, except I'm rather afraid of slipping back when I get home. I feel a different person from when I came two months ago.]
You will not be slipping back... you have done so well. Very few people do so well. And at this age (Karuna is seventy) it is really rare to be so flowing and so innocent and child-like. It has been
