MEDITATE - WITH IT - NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE - OSHO

YOU ASK ME, “WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO RELATE?”IT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE YOU AREW NOT YET.FIRST BEEVERYTHING ELSE IS POSSIBLE ONLY AFTERWARDS: FIRST BEJESUS SAYS IT IN HIS OWN WAY: “FIRST SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THEN ALL ELSE SHALL BE ADDED UNTU YOU.”THIS IS JUST AN OLD EXPRESSION FOR THE SAME THING THAT I AM SAYING: FIRST BE, THEN ALL ELSESHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.BUT BEING IS THE BASIC REQUIREMENT.IF YOU ARE,COURAGE COMES AS ACONSEQUENCE.IF YOU ARE,GREAT DEASIRE FOR ADVENTURE ,TO EXPLORE,ARISES—AND WHEN YOU ARE READY TO EXPLORE,YOU CAN RELATE.RELATING IS EXPLORING—EXPLORING THE OTHER’S CONSCIOUSNESS,EXPLORING THE OTHER’S TERRITORY.BUT WHEN YOU EXPLORE THE OTHER’S TERRITORY,YOU HAVE TO ALLOW ANDWELCOMETHE OTHER TO EXPLOREYOU;IT CAN-NOT BE ONE WAY TRAFFIC.AND YOU CAN ALLOW THE OTHER TO EXPLORE YOU ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING ,SOME TRESURE WITHIN YOU.THEN THERE IS NO FEAR .IN FACT YOU INVITE THE GUEST ,YOU EMBRACE THE GUEST,YOU CALL HIM IN ,YOU WANT HIM IN.YOU WANT HIM TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DISCOVERED IN YOURSELF ,YOU WANT TO SHARE IT.FIRST BE,THEN YOU CAN RELATE –AND REMBEMBER,TO RELATE IS BEAUTIFUL.RELATIONSHIP IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PHENOMENON; RELATIONSHIP IS SOMETHING DEAD ,FIXED,AFULL POINT HAS ARRIVED.NOW THINGS WILL ONLY DECLINE .YOU HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT,NOTHING IS GROWING ANY MORE .THE RIVER HAS STOPPED AND IT IS BECOMING A RESERVOIR .RELATION IS ALREADY A THING ,COMPLETE;RELATING IS A PROCESS .AVOID RELATIONSHIP,AND GO DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO RELATING.MY EMPHASIS IS ON VERBS,NOT ON NOUNS;AVOID NOUN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.IN LANGUAGE YOU CANNOT AVOID,THAT I KNOW;BUT IN LIFE,AVOID—BECAUSE LIFE IS A VERB.LIFE IS NOT ANOUN,IT IS REALLY “LIVING” NOT “LIFE.” IT IS NOT LOVE, IT IS LOVING.IT IS NOT A RELATIONSHIP,IT IS RELATING.IT IS NOT A SONG,IT IS SINGING.IT IS NOT A DANCE,IT IS DANCING.SEE THE DIFFERENCE, SAVOUR THE DIFFERENCE.A DANCE IS SOMETHING COMELETE; THE LAST TOUCHES HAVE MADE, NOW THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO. SOMETHING COMPLETE IS SOMETHING DEAD.LIFE KNOWS NO FULL POINT; COMMAS ARE FINE, BUT NO FULL POINT. RESTING PLACE IS ALL RIGHT, BUT NO DESTINATION.INSTEAD OF THINKING HOW TO RELATE, FULFIL THE FIRST REQIREMENT:MEDITATW,BE,AND THEN RELATING WILL ARISE OUT OF IT ON OWN ACCORD.ONE WHO BECOMES SILENT BLISSFUL ONE WHO STARTS HAVING OVERFLOWING ENERGIES, BECOMES A FLOWER ,HAS TO RELATE .IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HE HAS TO LEARN HOW TO DO ,IT STARTS HAPPENING .HE RELATE WITH PEOPLE ,HE RELATE WITH ANIMALS,HE RELATES WITH TREES,HE RELATES EVEN WITH ROCKS.IN FACT, TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAYS HE RELATES .IF HE IS WALKING ON THE EARTH, HE IS RELATING WITH THE EARTH ….HIS FEET TOUCHING THE EARTH,HE IS RELATING.IF HE IS LOOKING AT THE STARS HE IS RELATING WITH THE STARS.IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEBODY IN PARICULAR. THE BASIC FACT IS IF YOU ARE YOUR WHOLE LIFE BECOMES A RELATING. IT IS A CONSTANT SONG, A CONSTANT DANCE; IT IS A CONTIUUM, A RIVER-LIKE FLOW.MEDITATE; FIND OUT YOUR OWNC CENTRE FIRST. BEFORE YOU CAN RELATE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, RELATE WITH YOURSELF: THAT IS THE BASIC REQUIREMENT TO BE FUILFILLED. WITHOUT IT, NOTHING IS POSSIBLE. WITH IT, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
