I SAY UNTO YOU, YOU ARE ENLIGHTENMENT ITSELF - SAYS OSHO

I DON’T WANT YOU TO ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT;
I WANT YOU TO LIVE IT.
MY OWN APPROACH IS TO TAKE AWAY ALL IDEAL FROM YOU AND TO TAKE THE VERY IDEA THAT ENLIGHTENMENT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU IN THE FUTURE. FUTURE DOES NOT EXIST! IN FACT THE IDEA THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE IS SIMPLY TO AVOID THE SELF-RESPECT THAT YOU CAN HAVE ONLY IN THE PRESENT.THERE HAVE BEEN TEACHER'S-THEY WERE NOT MASTER, THEY WERE AS UNCONSCIOUS AS YOU ARE. THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THEIR OWN ENLIGHTENMENT. THEY WERE TEACHING MORALITY, DISCIPLINE, METHODS, HOW TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED. BUT DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE INNER LOGIC? IF YOU CAN BECOME ENLIGHTENED THEN THERE IS EVERY POSSIBILITY YOU CAN ALSO BECOME AGAIN UNENLIGHTENED. IF THERE ARE METHOD TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED THERE CAN METHOD TO MAKE YOU UNENLIGHTENED. THIS IS A SIMPLE THING. IF YOU CAN BECOME SICK, YOU CAN BECOME HEALTHY, AND YOU CAN ALSO BECOME SICK AGAIN.ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO ATTAIN, BECAUSE THAT WHICH IS ATTAINED CAN BE STOLEN. THAT WHICH IS ATTAINED CAN BE ROBBED. THAT WHICH IS ATTAINED CAN BE LOST.I SAY UNTO YOU, YOU ARE ENLIGHTENMENT ITSELF.I DON’T WANT YOU, YOU TO ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT, I WANT CAN BE ROBBED. THAT WHICH IS ATTAINED CAN BE LOST.I SAY UNTO YOU, YOU ARE ENLIGHTENMENT ITSELF.I DON’T WANT YOU, YOU TO ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT; I WANT YOU TO LIVE IT. FROM THIS VERY MOMENT, WHATEVER YOU DO, - DO IT IN THE WAY ENLIGHTENMENT IS BOUND TO DO IT.I LOVE ONE STATEMENT OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE OF THE WEST, ALAN WATTS. HE WAS A DRUNKARD, BUT HE WAS THE MAN WHO INTRODUCED IN THE WEST THE MOST ESSENTIAL PART OF ZEN & ENLIGHTENMENT. HE WROTE NOT AS A SCHOLAR BUT AS MASTER. BEFORE HE WAS DYING HE WAS STILL DRINKING HAD SEEN YOU DRINKING & A DISCIPLE ASKED HIM, "HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT... IF BUDDHA HAD SEEN YOU DRINKING ALCOHOL WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT ?ALAN WATTS SAID,”THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I ALWAYS DRINK IN AN ENLIGHTENED WAY.”THE QUESTION IS NOT WHAT YOU DO - THE QUESTION IS HOW YOU DO IT. YES I ACCEPT ALAN WATTS'S STATEMENT. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A MAN TO DRINK ALCOHOL IN AN ENLIGHTENED WAY. ENLIGHTENMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY LIMITS. AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE A PARTICULAR FORMULA, A PARTICULAR PATTERN THAT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW.ENLIGHTENMENT SHOULD BE AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE- THE MOST INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE, INCOMPARABLE AND UNIQUE TO EVERYBODY, ONCE THIS IS UNDERSTOOD, ALL THE CLOUDS THAT SURROUND YOU WITH DARKNESS START DISPERSING.VEET VIGYANAM, I WILL GO ON REPEATING AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL IT SINKS INTO YOU, THAT YOU ARE ENLIGHTENED. AND YOU ARE NOT TO DO ANY THING SPECIAL FOR IT; YOU HAVE JUST AS TO BE AS YOU ARE, TOTALLY RELAXED, AT EACH WITH EXISTENCE. NOT GOING ANYWHERE; NO ACHIEVEMENT, NO GOAL. ALL GOAL-ORIENTATION IS WHAT IS MAKING PEOPLE MISERABLE.DISPERSE ALL THE GOALS AND YOU WILL START DANCING THIS VERY MOMENT-BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY INVOLVED IN YOUR PROCESS OF ACHIEVING. MOVING FAR AWAY IN YOUR IMAGINATION, YOU DON’T HAVE TIME, YOU HAVE DON’T HAVE SPACE, YOU DON’T HAVE ENERGY TO BE HERE. IF YOU CAN GATHER ALL YOU’RE ENERGY IN THIS VERY MOMENT, JUST THE ACCUMULATION OF THAT ENERGY WILL BECOME A DANCE IN YOUR HEART. AND THAT DANCE TRANSFORMS EVERYTHING, NOT YOUR EFFORTS.
