TO BE INTELIGENT IS TO CREATE YOUR OWN HEAVEN - OSHO

ARE YOU LIVING IN HELL; HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN... CREATE YOUR OWN!PEOPLE REMAIN UNINTELLIGENT BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW, IF YOU START UNDERSTANDING, IT WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ENDURE THE LIFE THAT ARE YOU LIVING. YOU ARE LIVING IN HELL.I HAVE HEARD ABOUT A MAN, A VERY INTELLECTUAL MAN, A PHILOSOPHER, WHO DIED. HE CAME NAKED BEFORE GOD AND GOD OPEN THE BOOK OF THE LIFE OF THE MAN. GOD WENT ON TO RECOUNT ALL THE SINS OF THE MAN WRITTEN THEREIN. THE MAN HAD BEEN GUILTY OF PRACTICALLY ALL SINS INCLUDING CRUELTY, LACK OF CHARITY, THIEVERY, INGRATITUDE, DISLOYALTY, LUST AND LACK OF LOVE. TO ALL THESE CHARGES THE MAN ANSWERED, ‘EVEN SO I DID IT.’THEREUPON GOD CLOSED THE BOOK OF THE LIFE OF THE MAN AND SAID, ‘SURELY, I WILL SEND YOU TO HELL.’THE MAN SAID HE COULD NOT DO SO BECAUSE HELL WAS WHERE HE HAD ALWAYS LIVED.SO THEN GOD, FEELING A SOMEWHAT DISTURBED THAT HE COULD NOT SEND THIS MAN TO HELL, FEELING ALMOST IMPOTENT, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO…BECAUSE HE WAS RIGHT—HOW CAN YOU SEND A MAN TO HELL WHO HAS ALWAYS LIVED IN HELL? SO THEN GOD SAID HE WOULD HIM TO HEAVEN- JUST TO SAVE HIS EGO.AND THE MAN CRIED OUT, “THOU CANST NOT!” AND GOD SAID, ‘WHEREFORE CAN I NOT SEND THEE TO HEAVEN?’AND THE MAN ANSWERED AND SAID, ‘BECAUSE NEVER, IN NO PLACE, HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO IMAGINE IT.’AND THERE WAS SILENCE IN THE HOUSE OF JUDGEMENT.HOW CAN YOU SEND A MAN TO HEAVEN WHO CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE IT, WHO HAS NEVER TASTED IT? HOW CAN YOU SEND A MAN TO HEAVEN WHO HAS NOT CREATED IT IN HIS OWN SOUL? IMPOSSIBLE. HE DEFEATED GOD. HELL IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE HE HAS LIVED THERE AND THERE IS NO OTHER HELL. HEAVEN IS NOT POSSIBLE UNLESS YOU CREATE IT. UNLESS YOU CARRY IT WITHIN YOURSELF, YOU CANNOT FIND ANYWHERE. IT IS SAID IN ALL THE RELIGIOUS BOOK OF THE WORLD THAT SAINTS GO TO HEAVEN, BUT IT IS A HALF – STATEMENT. THEY GO TO HEAVEN BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN HEAVEN; THEY GO TO HEAVEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE CREATED THEIR HEAVEN. IN FACT, TO BE IN HEAVEN, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE HEAVEN WITHIN YOU – THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.TO BE INTELLIGENT IS TO CREATE YOUR OWN HEAVEN, IS TO CREATE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS, OTHERWISE THERE ISNONE. IF YOU CREATE IT, YOU HAVE IT. IT IS JUST LIKE BREATHING: IF YOU BREATHE, YOU ARE ALIVE, IF YOU DON’T BREATHE, YOU ARE NOT ALIVE. IF YOU CREATE HAPPINESS, YOU ARE HAPPY; IF YOU DON’T CREATE, YOU ARE UNHAPPY. UNHAPPINESS NEEDS NO CREATIVITY ON YOUR PART. UNHAPPINESS IS A NEGATIVE STATE, IT NEED NOT BE CREATED. HAPPINESS IS NOT NEGATIVE, IT IS A POSITIVE STATE, IT HAS TO BE CREATED. ABSENCE CAN BE THERE BUT THE PRESENCE HAS TO BE CREATED.
