IF YOU UNDERSTAND ME - RESPECT YOURSELF AS ENLIGHTENED - SAYS OSHO

YOUR ACCEPTANCE,YOUR SELF-RESPECT WILL BE A NOURISHMENT, WILL BRING THE SPRING TO YOUR BEING,AND THE FLOWERS WILL,START OPENING THEIR PETALS.
LET ME SAY IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY. THE MOMENT YOU RESPECT YOURSELF AS ENLIGHTENED, YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING OTHERTHAN RESPECT EVERYBODY AS ENLIGHTENED, AS THEY ARE.THERE IS NO NEED FOR EVERYBODY TO FIT INTO A CERTAIN CATEGORY. ENLIGHTMENT IS NOT A CATEGORY SUCH THAT YOU HAVE TO EAT THE SAME KIND OF FOOD. IF THERE WAS A CERTAIN RULE LIKE THIS, RATHER THAN EATING SPAGHETTI I WOULD HAVE RENOUNCED ENLIGHTENMENT. IT IS GOOD THAT NO HOLY SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT SPAGHETTI IS ABSOLUTELY THE CHARACTERSTICS OF AN ENLIGHTENED MAN.IF YOU UNDERSTAND ME, WHAT I AM SAYING, I AM SAYING THAT IN YOUR VERY ORDINARINESS YOU ARE PERFECTELY GOOD.NOTHING NEED TO BE ADDED TO YOU. AND IF YOU CAN RELAX IN THIS ORDINARINESS, THIS VERY ORDINARINESS, BECAUSE OF YOUR RELAXATION, WILL BECOME RADIANT, WILL START BLOSSOMING. YOUR ACCEPTANCE,YOUR SELF-RECEPT WILL BE A NOURISHMENT, WILL BRING THE SPRING TO YOUR BEING,AND THE FLOWERS WILL,START OPENING THEIR PETALS.BUT YOU ARE NEVER AT HOME. YOU ARE LOOKING INTO OTHER PEOPLE’S HOMES. SOMEBODY IS IN GAUTAM BUDDHA’S, SOME BODY IN LAO TGU’S, SOMEBODY IN JESUS CHRIST’S, SOMEBODY IN MOSE’S… IT IS A VERY STRANGE SITUATION THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DIVERTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT EVERYBODY IS SOMEWHERE ELES, WHERE HE IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE, AND HE IS NOT WHERE EXISTENCE WANTS HIM TO BE.I TEACH THE IMMEDIATE AND ULTIMATE ORDINARINESS.IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DESIRE, NO TENSION, NO SEARCH, AND NO INQUIRY, NOW WHERE TO GO. YOU ARE ALREADY WHERE YOU WANTED TO BE.
