YOU ARE MY MASTER FOREVER - DEAR OSHO

A NEW KIND OF MASTERBELOVED OSHO,WHEN YOU WERE RESPONDING TO SARJANO’S QUESTION, I HEARD YOU SAY THAT A DISCIPLE CAN SAY NO TO THE MASTER IF THE LOVE IS DEEP ENOUGH. I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR SAYING NO TO US OUT OF YOUR LOVE, BUT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. DO YOU MEAN THAT THE DISCIPLE MUST HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SAY NO BUT IN FACT WOULD NEVER WISH TO OR NEED TO? FROM MY EXPERIENCE, WHEN I HAVE SAID NO TO YOU, I HAVE DENIED MYSELF AND THEN SUFFERED THE CONSEQUENCES. HOW CAN THERE BE ANY SITUATION IN WHICH THE DEVOTEE WOULD SAY NO TO THE MASTER?THE QUESTION YOU HAVE ASKED RAISES MANY QUESTION: QUESTION ABOUT LOVE, QUESTION ABOUT FREEDOM, QUESTION ABOUT THE MASTER AND DISCIPLE AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP.LIFE APPEARS TO BE VERY SIMPLE BUT AS YOU GO DEEPER INTO IT, IT BECOMES MORE AND MORE COMPLEX. AND THE ULTIMATE COMPLEXITY IS THAT LIFE CONSISTS OF CONTRADICTIONS. IF YOU UNDERSTAND, THOSE CONTRADICTIONS BECOME COMPLEMENTARY. IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, THOSE CONTRADICTIONS BECOME OPPOSITES.BUT IN THE ULTIMATE ORGANIC UNITARY THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE FOR BOTH YES AND NO. IT WILL NOT BE ULTIMATE ORGANIC UNITARY IF THERE IS A SPACE ONLY FOR YES, IF THERE IS SPACE ONLY FOR LIGHT, IF THERE IS SPACE ONLY FOR LOVE, AND NOT THEIR OPPOSITES.OUR MIND LOOKS AT THINGS IN CATEGORIES OF OPPOSITION, BUT MIND IS NOT THE ULTIMATE DECISIVE FACTOR. THE ULTIMATE DECISIVE FACTOR IS A STATE OF NO-MIND. IN A STATE OF NO-MIND EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE IS ALSO POSSIBLE; THE IMPOSSIBLE IS ALSO POSSIBLE.APPARENTLY YOU ARE RIGHT, THAT THE DISCIPLE CANNOT SAY NO; HOW CAN THE DISCIPLE SAY NO TO THE MASTER? IN WHAT SITUATIONS? IT HAS BEEN THE TRADITION THAT NO HAS ALWAYS BEEN TAKEN AS NEGATIVE. WITH ME, THING HAVE A FAR DEEPER MEANING AND SIGNIFICANCE. NO IS NOT NECESSARILY NEGATIVE AND YES IS NOT NECESSARILY POSITIVE. YOU CAN SAY YES OUT OF FEAR, THEN IT IS NEGATIVE. YOU CAN SAY OUT OF LOVE. YOU LOVE SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE NOT WORRIED EVEN TO SAY NO. THE NO BECOMES AFFIRMATIVE; IT IS NOT LONGER NEGATIVE.AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, I AM NOT PART OF ANY OLD CATEGORY OF MASTER. I AM A NEW BEGINNING IN THE SENSE THAT THE OLD MASTER DEMANDED SURRENDERED. I DON’T DEMAND ANYTHING FROM YOU, BECAUSE TO ME SURRENDERED IS A SUBTLE SPIRIT SLAVERY. OF COURSE, WITH A MASTER THE SURRENDER FEELS BEAUTIFUL BUT EVEN IF SLAVERY IS DECORATED WITH FLOWERS I CANNOT BE DECEIVED BY IT.I WANT MY PEOPLE TO BE INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN FREEDOM. IF THEY LOVE ME IT IS OUT OF THEIR FREEDOM, NOT OUT OF FEAR, NOT OUT OF DESIRE, NOT OUT OF SOME LONGING FOR ACHIEVEMENT. THE OLD DISCIPLE WAS SURRENDERING HIMSELF BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE ENLIGHTENED. THE MASTER WAS BEING USED AS A MEANS. I DON’T ALLOW MYSELF TO BE USED AS A MEANS. THAT IS UGLY.THE OLD MASTER WAS USING THE DISCIPLES FOR HIS OWN EGOISTIC ENDS. THE MASTERS IN THE PAST USED TO BRAG ABOUT HOW MANY DISCIPLES THEY HAD. THE NUMBER OF THE DISCIPLES DECIDED THE GREATNESS OF THE MASTER. THE MASTER WAS ALSO DEPENDENT IN A CERTAIN SENSE ON THE DISCIPLES. IT IS SOMETHING TO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU CANNOT MAKE ANYBODY DEPENDENT WITH OUT YOURSELF BECOMING DEPENDENT TOO. AND THE SAME IS TRUE IF YOU ARE INDEPENDENT, YOU WOULD LOVE TO MAKE EVERYBODY INDEPENDENT. BECAUSE INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUALITY HAS SUCH BEAUTY AND GRACE, SUCH JOY, SUCH FREEDOM TO FLY IN THE SKY WITH NO BOUNDARIES AND NO CHAINS, WITH NO CONDITIONS, NO EXPECTATIONS, THAT A MASTER LOVE HIS DISCIPLES TO BE ULTIMATELY FREE, FREE EVEN OF HIMSELF.ZARATHUSTRA HAS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES: “BEWARE OF ME.” THAT SMALL STATEMENT CONTAINS GREAT MEANING, BECAUSE A DISCIPLE CAN RENOUNCE EVERYTHING TO BE ONE WITH THE MASTER, TO COME CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE MASTER; HE CAN EVEN SACRIFICE HIMSELF. BUT IN THIS SACRIFICING HE WILL ENJOY A CERTAIN UNBURDENING, BECAUSE NOW HE IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE. THE WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY IS ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE MASTER. THE DISCIPLE HAS BECOME A SHEEP AND THE MASTER HAS BECOME THE SHEPHERD. NOW THE SHEPHERD WILL TAKE CARE.ONE CAN THINK IN THIS WAY THAT THE HAS ATTAINED A CERTAIN FREEDOM- FREEDOM FROM RESPONSIBILITY. BUT BECOMING A SHEEP, EVEN IF YOU BECOME FREE, YOUR FREEDOM HAS NO MEANING. IT IS FEAR; IT IS IRRESPONSIBILITY. IN A DEEPER SENSE YOU HAVE LOST YOURSELF TO GAIN SOMETHING. IT IS NOT OF LOVE THAT YOU HAVE SURRENDERED TO THE MASTER; OUT OF LOVE THERE IS NO SURRENDER, THERE IS NO NEED.LOVE IS FAR BIGGER PHENOMENON THAN ANY SURRENDER. SURRENDER IS OF THE MIND AND SURRENDER IS AN EFFORT.LOVE IS OF THE HEART AND IT IS NOT AN EFFORT. YOU SUDDENLY FIND YOURSELF IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE. EVEN IF YOU TRY TO BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE YOU CANNOT SUCCEED.NO EFFORT IS GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. LOVE COMES JUST LIKE THE SPRING COMES, AND WHEN LOVE COMES IT BRINGS MANY FLOWERS.THERE HAVE BEEN TWO KINDS OF MASTERS. THE MAJORITY OF THE MASTERS IN THE PAST DEMANDED SURRENDER, TOTAL SURRENDER. IT WAS A KIND OF SPIRITUAL SLAVERY. THE MASTER WAS ENJOYING A GREAT EGO, AND THE DISCIPLE WAS ENJOYING A GREAT UN BURDENING FROM ALL RESPONSIBILITIES. NOW THE MASTER IS GOING TO SAVE HIM. NOW THE MASTER IS HIS SALVATION, LIBERATION,ENLIGHTENMENT. ALL THAT HE COULD DO … HE HAS SURRENDERED HIMSELF. HE HAS BECOME AN ABSOLUTE YES.TO ME THIS KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WAS NOT HEALTHY, SOMETHING WAS BASICALLY WRONG. BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION IN THE PAST, ONE MAN STAND SEPERATE FROM THE WHOLE CROWD OF MASTER, AND THAT IS J.KRISHNAMURTI. HE DENIED HE WAS A MASTER AND HE REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY BODY AS A DISCIPLE; THIS WAS ANOTHER EXTREME. THE MASTER WERE DEMANDING ABSOLUTE SURRENDER . J. KRISHNAMURTI HAS LIVED WITH MASTER WHO HAVE ASKED ABSOLUTE SURRENDER FROM HIM, AND AS HE BECOME MORE AND MATURE HE SAW THE WHOLE GAME : THE MASTER ENJOYS THE EGO, THE DISCIPLE ENJOYS IRRESPONSIBILITY. BUT NEITHER THE MASTER IS A TRUE MASTER NOR THE DISCIPLE; IS A TRUE DISCIPLE BOTH ARE EXPLOITING EACH OTHER.THERE IS NO QUESTION OF LOVE WHEN THERE IS EXPLOITATION. KRISHNAMURTI REFUSED TO BE MASTER OF ANYONE AND HE REFUSED TO ALLOW ANY ONE TO THINK THAT HE IS A DISCIPLE. HE HAS TAKEN A GREAT STEP BUT HE HAS MOVED TO THE VERY EXTREME. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER; IF ONE EXTREME IS WRONG THE OTHER EXTREME CANNOT BE RIGHT. THE RIGHT IS ALWAYS SOMEWHERE EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE, THE GOLDEN MEAN. ONLY IN THE MIDDLE IS THERE BALANCE, AND ONLY IN THE MIDDLE , EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE , IS THERE TRANSCENDENCE OF THE POLARITIES OF THE OPPOSITES.MY POSITION IS EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE. I DON’T ASK ANY SURRENDER FROM YOU; HENCE , I AM NOT ON THE OLD TRACK. I DON’T DENY YOU THE BEAUTY OF BEING A DISCIPLE. I DON’T INSULT YOU; I DON’T REJECT YOU . I ACCEPT YOUR LOVE, BUT I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR SURRENDER. IN ACCEPTING YOUR LOVE AND YOUR DISCIPLE HOOD I AM YOUR MASTER, BUT THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP OF SURRENDER.I AM NOT HERE TO ERASE YOUR INDIVIDUALITY. I AM HERE JUST TO ERASE YOUR EGO. THAT DOES NOT NEED ANY SURRENDER, IT NEEDS A DEEP MEDITATIVE UNDERSTANDING ON YOUR PART. I CAN GIVE YOU LOVE, I CAN SHARE MY OWN UNDERSTANDING WITH YOU, BUT THERE IS NO CONDITION ATTACHED TO IT. MY JOY WILL BE TO SEE YOU AS A GROWING INDIVIDUAL IN TOTAL FREEDOM, AND IN TOTAL FREEDOM , YES IS AS MUCH POSSIBLE AS NO. I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR PROBLEM , THAT NO IS VERY DIFFICULT, MORE DIFFICULT TO A MASTER WHO DOES NOT ASK SURRENDER. NO BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE MASTER ALLOWS IT. IF THE MASTER DOES NOT ALLOW NO, HE IS REPRESSING SOMETHING IN YOU , AND HIS NOT ALLOWING NO DOES NOT DESTROY THE POSSIBILITY OF KNOWING YOU.ON THE CONTRARY, THE MASTER HIMSELF IS AFRAID THAT IF YOU ARE NOT PREVENTED, YOU CAN SAY NO.THE YES FROM YOU IS MEANINGLESS IF YOU ARE NOT FREE TO SAY NO. YOUR YES HAS MEANING ONLY BECAUSE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE TO SAY NO. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO SAY NO. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE WILL BE A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE TO SAY NO. IN FACT IT WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SAY NO.TO SAY NO IS EASY WHEN YOU ARE PREVENTED, PROHIBITED. THEN IT BECOMES A QUESTION OF YOUR INDIVIDUALITY; IT BECOMES A QUESTION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL FREEDOM. AND CERTAINLY ANYBODY WHO HAS ANY DIGNITY IS BOUND TO FIND SITUATIONS WHERE HE WOULD LIKE TO SAY NO. IF HE DOES NOT SAY IT HE IS BEHAVING AS A HYPOCRITE . HE IS NOT SAYING NO BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID TO LOSE THE LOVE OF THE MASTER AND TO LOSE THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING HIGHER STATUS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. BUT THIS BUSINESS, THIS CUNNINGNESS. AND THERE SHOULD NOT EXIST ANY BUSINESS OR ANY CUNNINGNESS BETWEEN THE MASTER AND DISCIPLE.I ACCEPT THE STATUS OF A MASTER AND THE STATUS OF A DISCIPLE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN IT. IF THE MASTER AND DISCIPLE ARE NOT EXPLOITING EACH OTHER, IF THE DISCIPLE IS NOT USING THE MASTER AS A MEANS TO ENLIGHTENMENT, LIBERATION, AND THE MASTER IS NOT USING THE DISCIPLE FOR HIS OWN AGGRANDIZEMENT, FOR HIS OWN EGO-FULFILLMENT. I WANT MASTER AND DISCIPLE TO STAND SIDE BY SIDE IN DEEP LOVE, WITH NO QUESTION OF ANY SURRENDER, WITH NO EXPECTATION FROM THE MASTER YOU HAVE ALWAYS TO SAY YES.MY OWN EXPERIENCE IS, THE MORE YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM DOING SOMETHING THE MORE THERE IS A DESIRE TO DO IT. PROHIBITION IS A KIND OF PROVOCATION.I DON’T PROHIBIT YOU. IT DOES NOT DISTURB ME OR MY INDIVIDUALITY IF YOU SAY NO. ON THIS POINT MANEESHA IS RIGHT, THAT WHATEVER SHE HAS SAID NO, SHE HAS SUFFERED THE CONSEQUENCES. BUT THAT IS UP TO YOU- NOT MY EXPECTATION. IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU WHEN YOU SAY NO, YOU HAVE TAKEN YOURSELF AS YOU ARE WISER; YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.I HAVE NOT SAID TO SARJANO, “YOU WILL NOT SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR NO.” BUT IT WILL NOT BE FROM ME: NOT THAT I WILL BE ANNOYED, NOT THAT I WILL BE IRRITATED, NOT THAT I WILL BE ANGRY. IT IS PERFECTLY OKAY WITH ME WHETHER YOU SAY YES OR NO. BUT FOR YOURSELF THERE IS GOING TO BE A DIFFERENCE. YES MEANS YOU ARE LISTENING AND FOLLOWING WHAT I AM SAYING. NO MEANS YOU ARE DECIDING FOR YOURSELVES. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE TO DECIDE YOURSELF, BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO BE READY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES ALSO.FREEDOM BRINGS RESPONSIBILITY. THAT’S THE MEANING I CONTINUOUSLY REPEAT, AND I KNOW YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. EVERYBODY LIKE FREEDOM AND NOBODY LIKES RESPONSIBILITY, BUT THEY COME IN THE SAME PACKAGE; YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THEM. I GIVE YOU FREEDOM AND I GIVE YOU RESPONSIBILITY. YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT ME, BECAUSE YOU ARE ALWAYS FREE TO SAY NO. YOU CANNOT SAY THAT I HAVE INHIBITED YOU, BECAUSE I HAVE NOT ASK THAT YOU SAY YES WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT. YOU CANNOT BLAME ME.THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE, THAT WHENEVER YOU WILL SAY YES, YOU WILL FIND A PEACE, A SILENCE. AND WHENEVER YOU WILL SAY NO, YOU WILL FIND A DEEP BURDEN ON YOUR HEART, ALMOST A WOUND. BUT YOU ARE CREATING THAT WOUND. AND I WILL NOT PREVENT YOU, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT PREVENTING PROVOKES PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME THING THAT IS BEING PREVENTED.IF I SAY TO YOU, “NEVER SAY NO TO ME,” YOU WILL FIND MANY, MANY TIME THE DESIRE TO SAY NO; HENCE I GIVE YOU ABSOLUTE FREEDOM. IT IS UP TO YOU TO SAY YES OR TO SAY NO. YOU ARE TO DECIDE YOUR OWN DESTINY. I CAN ONLY HELP YOU, SUGGEST TO YOU, SHOW YOU THE WAY. BUT YOU CAN SAY, “I DON’T WANT TO GO” – I CANNOT FORCE YOU. YOU CAN ACCEPT MY UNDERSTANDING. YOU CAN REJECT IT, AND IN YOUR REJECTION I DON’T THINK THAT THERE IS LESS LOVE. THAT’S WHY I SAID IF YOU DEEPLY LOVE YOU WILL NOT BE WORRIED BY SAYING NO. BUT I HAVE NOT MENTIONED ANYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.BY SAYING NO YOU ARE RELIVING ME FROM RESPONSIBILITY. YOU ARE TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY INTO YOUR OWN HANDS. NOW IF THINGS GO WRONG YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT ME. WHEN YOU SAY YES AND THINGS GO RIGHT I CAN NOT BRAG ABOUT IT. THE YES IS YOURS; THE CONSEQUENCE WILL BE YOURS.I LOVE YOU ENOUGH – HENCE I GIVE YOU TOTAL FREEDOM. IF YOU LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH, YOU WILL BE AWARE WHAT NO CAN DO TO YOU AND WHAT YES CAN DO TO YOU.I TEACH YOU AWARENESS AND THEN LEAVE YOU. A MAN OF AWARENESS WILL NOT TRY TO GO THROUGH THE WALLS, HE WILL FIND THE DOOR. A MAN OF AWARENESS WILL PICK UP ROSES AND WILL AVOID THE THORNS.I GIVE YOU FREEDOM, AND IN GIVING YOU FREEDOM I FEEL ABSOLUTELY FREE. I DON’T HAVE ANY BURDEN OF SOLVING, SAVING, LIBERATING HUMANITY. I DON’T HAVE ANY BURDEN AT ALL. I AM ABSOLUTELY WEIGHTLESS. I AM NOT A SAVIOR, NOT A MESSIAH, NOT A MESSENGER.I HAVE CHOSEN A THIRD CATEGORY. JUST AS KRISHNAMURTI IS ALONE ON THE EXTREME LEFT, I AM ALONE IN THE MIDDLE. AND KRISHNAMURTI IS REACTING AGAINST THE TRADITION. I AM NOT REACTING I SIMPLY ACTING OUT OF UNDERSTANDING.I CAN SEE WHERE THE OLD PATTERN WENT WRONG. I WILL NOT DO JUST THE OPPOSITE BECAUSE JUST THE OPPOSITE WILL ALSO GO WRONG. I AM DOING SOMETHING EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE.SO I DON’T DENY YOUR DISCIPLESHIP. I DON’T DENY IT BECAUSE I RESPECT YOU. I LOVE YOU. I CANNOT SAY I AM NOT A MASTER BECAUSE I KNOW, I HAVE EXPERIENCED, I CAN SHARE IT WITH YOU. THEN IT IS UP TO YOU TO SAY YES OR NO.

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.

REMAIN YOURSELF.... - SAYS OSHO

NEVER BE INSPIRED BY ANYBODY. REMAIN OPENNEVER BE INSPIRED BY ANYBODY. REMAIN OPEN. WHEN YOU SEE A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET, YOU ENJOY THE OF IT … WHEN YOU SEE A BUDDHA, ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE MAN, ENJOY THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE MAN. ENJOY THE SILENCE, ENJOY THE TRUTH THE MAN HAS REALISED…BUT DON’T BECOME A FOLLOWER. ALL FOLLOWERS ARE LOST.REMAIN YOURSELF…BECAUSE THIS MAN GAUTAM BUDDHA HAS FOUND BECAUSE HE HAS REMAINED HIMSELF. AND ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL NAMES…LAO TZU, CHUANG TZU, LEIH TZU, BODHIDHARMA, NAGARJUNA, PYTHGORAS, SOCRATES, HERACLITUS, EPICURUS… ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL NAME WHICH HAVE BEEN A GREAT INSPIRATION TO MANY PEOPLE WHERE THEMSELVES NEVER INSPIRED BY ANYBODY. THAT’S HOW THEY PROTECT THEIR ORIGINALITY; THAT’S HOW THEY REMAIN THEMSELVES.I HAVE BEEN WITH MASTERS, AND I HAVE LOVED THEM. BUT TO ME THE VERY DESIRE TO BE LIKE THEM VERY UGLY. ONE MAN IS ENOUGH; A SECOND LIKE HIM WILL NOT ENRICH EXISTENCE, IT WILL ONLY BURDEN IT. TO ME, UNIQUENESS OF INDIVIDUAL IS THE GREATEST TRUTH. LOVE PEOPLE WHEN YOU FIND THEM IN SOME DIMENSION TRUE AND AUTHENTIC, BLOSSOMING. BUT REMEMBER, THEY ARE BLOSSOMING BECAUSE THEIR AUTHENTICITY AND ORIGINALITY; SO BE MINDFUL NOT TO FALL INTO THE TRAP OF FOLLOWING THEM. BE YOURSELF.THE FAMOUS MAXIM FROM SOCRATES IS: ‘KNOW THYSELF’. BUT IT SHOULD BE COMPLETED... IT IS INCOMPLETE. BEFORE ‘KNOW THYSELF’ ANOTHER MAXIM IS NEEDED: ‘BETHYSELF’; OTHERWISE YOU MAY KNOW ONLY SOME ACTOR THAT YOU ARE PRETENDING TO BE. KNOWING THYSELF COMES SECOND; FIRST IS BEING THYSELF. THE REAL GREAT MASTER HAVES BEEN ONLY FRIENDS, A HELPING HAND, FINGERS POINTING TO THE MOON; THEY HAVE NEVER CREATED A SLAVERY. BUT THE MOMENT THEY DIED THEY LEFT SUCH A GREAT IMPACT AROUND THEM THAT CUNNING PEOPLE… THEOLOGIANS, PRIESTS, SCHOLARS…STARTED PREACHING OT PEOPLE, ‘FOLLOW GAUTAM BUDDHA’.NOW THE MAN IS DEAD AND HE CANNOT DENY ANYTHING…AND THESE PEOPLE STARTED EXPLOITING THE GREAT IMPACT THAT BUDDHA HAD LEFT. NOW THE WHOLE OF ASIA, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, FOR TWENTY –FIVE CENTURIES HAVE FOLLOWED IN THE STEP OF GAUTAM BUDDHA, BUT NOT A SINGLE GAUTAM BUDDHA HAS BEEN CREATED. IT IS ENOUGH PROOF: TWO THOUSAND YEARS AND NOT SINGLE JESUS AGAIN; THREE THOUSAND YEARS, NOT A SINGLE MOSES AGAIN.EXISTENCE NEVER REPEATS ITSELF.HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF BECAUSE HISTORY BELONGS TO THE UNCONSCIOUS MOB.EXISTENCE NEVER REPEATS ITSELF. IT IS VERY CREATIVE AND VERY INVENTIVE.AND IT IS GOOD; OTHERWISE, ALTHOUGH GAUTAM BUDDHA IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN, IF THERE IS THOUSAND OF GAUTAM BUDDHA AROUND… IF WHEREVER YOU GO YOU MEET GAUTAM BUDDHA, IN EVERY RESTAURANT!... YOU WILL BE REALLY BORED AND TIRED. IT WILL DESTROY THE WHOLE BEAUTY OF THE MAN. IT IS GOOD THAT EXISTENCE NEVER REPEATS. IT ONLY CREATES ONE OF A KIND, SO IT REMAINS ALWAYS RARE.YOU ARE ALSO ONE OF A KIND. YOU JUST HAVE TO BLOSSOM, TO OPEN YOUR PETALS AND RELEASE YOUR FRAGRANCE.

YOU ARE NOT A GAUTAM BUDDHA - SAYS OSHO

BLOSSOMLIFE ITSELF IS ENOUGH.SEEING PEOPLE ALL AROUND… WALKING CORPSES… IS INSPIRATION ENOUGH NOT TO MOVE WITH THEM, NOT TO GO THEIR WAY, BUT TO FIND A SMALL FOOTPATH OF YOUR OWN IF YOU WANT TO BE ALIVE.I HAVE NEVER HAD A MASTER, AND I AM FORTUNATE THAT I NEVER HAD A MASTER.I HAVE BEEN, IN MY PAST LIVES, WITH A FEW LIVING MASTERS. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, LOVABLE,BUT ONE THING HAS BEEN CLEAR ALL ALONG TO ME… THAT NOBODY CAN BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ME, BECAUSE THAT WORD ‘INSPIRATION’ IS DANGEROUS.FIRST IT IS INSPIRATION, THEN IT BECOMES FOLLOWING, THEN IT BECOMES IMITATION…AND YOU END UP BEING A CARBON COPY. THERE IS NO NEED TO BE INSPIRED BY ANYBODY. NOT ONLY THERE IS NO NEED, IT IS DANGEROUSTOO. JUST WATCHING, I HAVE SEEN…EACH INDIVIDUAL IS UNIQUE. HE CANNOT FOLLOW ANYBODY ELSE.HE CAN TRY… MILLIONS HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR THOUSAND OF YEAR. MILLIONS ARE CHRISTIANS, MILLIONS ARE HINDUS, MILLIONS ARE BUDDHISTS. WHAT ARE THEY DOING ? INSPIRATION FROM GAUTAM BUDDHA HAS MADE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BUDDHISTS, AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS. AND THEY ARE NOT REACHING ANYWHERE; THEY CANNOT.YOU ARE NOT A GAUTAM BUDDHA, AND HIS FOOTPRINTS WON’T FIT YOU, NEITHER WILL HIS SHOES FIT YOU; YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND THE EXACT SIZE OF SHOES THAT FIT YOU.HE IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO BECOME LIKE HIM. AND THAT’S THE MEANING OF THE WORD ‘INSPIRATION’. IT MEANS YOU ARE SO INFLUENCED THAT THE MAN BECOMES YOU IDEAL, THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO LIKE HIM. THAT HAS MISLED THE ENTIRE HUMANITY. INSPIRATION HAS BEEN A CURSE, NOT A BLESSING.I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LEARN FROM EVERY, SOURCE TO ENJOY EVERY UNIQUE THAT YOU COME ACROSS. BUT NEVER FOLLOW ANYBODY AND NEVER TRY TO BECOME EXACTLY LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE; THAT IS NOT ALLOWED BY EXISTENCE. YOU CAN BE ONLY YOURSELF.AND IT IS A STRANGE PHENOMENON: THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BECOME AN INSPIRATION FOR MILLION OF OTHER PEOPLE WERE THEMSELVES NEVER INSPIRED BY ANYBODY… BUT NOBODY TAKES NOTE OF THIS FACT. GAUTAM BUDDHA WAS NEVER INSPIRED BY ANYBODY, AND THAT’S WHAT MADE HIM A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. SOCRATES WAS NOT INSPIRED BY ANYBODY BUT THAT,S WHAT MAKES HIM SO UNIQUE.ALL THESE PEOPLE WHOM YOU THINK OF AS SOURCES OF INSPIRATION HAVE NEVER BEEN INSPIRED BY ANYBODY ELSE.THAT IS SOMETHING VERY FUNDAMENTAL TO BE UNDERSTOOD.YES,THEY LEARNED;THEY TRIED TO UNDERSTAND ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE.THEY LOVED UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS,BUT NOBODY WAS TO BE FOLLOWED.THEY STILL TRIED TO BE THEMSELVES.SO PLEASE DON’T BE INSPIRED BY ME;OTHERWISE YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION.YOU WILL BE JUST A CARBON COPY,YOU WONT HAVE YOUR AUTHENTIC,ORIGINAL FACE.YOU WILL BE A HYPOCRITE:YOU WILL SAY ONE THING…YOU WILL DO ANOTHER.YOU WILL SHOW YOUR FACE IN DIFFERENT SITUATION WITH DIFFERENT MASKS,AND SLOWLY YOU WILL FORGET WHICH ONE IS YOUR REAL FACE;SO MANY MASKS…

WHEN I AM GONE, WHERE CAN I GO? - OSHO

AFTER OSHO, WHO?
THE FRUIT FALLS ON THE GROUND WHEN IT IS RIPE. ONE DAY , YOU WILL LEAVE US, AND IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ANOTHER MASTER IN YOUR PLACE. HOW CAN ANYBODY ELSE BE THE SUBSTITUTE FOR THE MASTER OF MASTERS?OSHO, WHEN YOU LEAVE THE PHYSICAL BODY, WILL YOUR MEDITATION TECHNIQUES HELP OUR INNER GROWTH AS THEY DO NOW?MY APPROACH TO YOUR GROWTH IS BASICALLY TO MAKE YOU INDEPENDENT OF ME. ANY KIND OF DEPENDENCE IS SLAVERY, AND THE SPIRITUAL DEPENDENCE IS THE WORST SLAVERY OF ALL.I HAVE BEEN MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF YOUR INDIVIDUALITY, YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR ABSOLUTECAPACITY TO GROW WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM ANYBODY. YOUR GROWTH IS SOMETHING INTRINSIC TO YOUR BEING. IT DOES NOT COME FROM OUTSIDE; IT IS NOT AN IMPOSITION, IT IS AN UNFOLDING.ALL THE MEDITATION TECHNIQUES THAT I HAVE GIVEN TO YOU ARE NOT DEPENDENT ON ME --- MY PRESENCE OR ABSENCE WILL NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE---THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON YOU. IT IS NOT MY PRESENCE, BUT YOUR PRESENCE THAT IS NEEDED FOR THEM TO WORK.IT IS NOT MY BEING HERE BUT YOUR BEING HERE, YOUR BEING IN THE PRESENT, YOUR BEING ALERT AND AWARE THAT IS GOING TO HELP.I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION AND ITS RELEVANCE. IT IS NOT IRRELEVANT. THE WHOLE PAST OF MAN, IN DIFFERENT WAYS, A HISTORY OF EXPLOITATION. AND EVEN THE SO—CALLED SPIRITUAL PEOPLE COULD NOT RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO EXPLOIT. OUT OF ONE HUNDRED MASTERS, NINETY- NINE PER CENT WERE TRYING TO IMPOSE THE IDEA THAT, “WITHOUT ME YOU CANNOT GROW, NO PROGRESS IS POSSIBLE. GIVE ME YOUR WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY.”BUT THE MOMENT YOU GIVE YOUR WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO SOMEBODY, UNKNOWINGLY YOU ARE ALSO GIVING YOUR WHOLE FREEDOM. AND NATURALLY, ALL THOSE MASTERS HAD TO DIE ONE DAY, BUT THEY HAVE LEFT LONG LINES OF SLAVES: CHRISTIANS, JEWS, HINDUS, MUSLIMS ARE THESE PEOPLE? WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY BE A CHRISTIAN? IF YOU CAN BE SOMEONE, BE A CHRIST,NEVER BE A CHRISTIAN, A FOLLOWER OF SOMEONE WHO DIED TWO THOUSAND YEAR AGO?THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY IS FOLLOWING THE DEAD. IS IT NOT WEIRD THAT THE LIVING SHOULD FOLLOW THE DEAD, THAT THE LIVING SHOULD BE DOMINATED BY THE DEAD, THAT THE LIVING SHOULD DEPEND ON THE DEAD AND THEIR PROMISES THAT ‘ WE WILL BE COMING TO SAVE YOU.’? NONE OF THEM HAS COME TO SAVE YOU. IN FACT, NOBODY CAN SAVE ANYBODY ELSE; IT GOES AGAINST THE FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH OF FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUALITY.AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, I AM SIMPLY MAKING AVERY EFFORT TO MAKE YOU FREE FROM EVERYBODY—INCLUDING ME--- AND TO JUST BE ALONE ON THE PATH OF SEARCHING.THIS EXISTENCE RESPECTS A PERSON WHO DARES TO BE ALONE IN THE SEEKING OF TRUTH. SLAVES ARE NOT RESPECTED BY EXISTENCE AT ALL. THEY DO NOT DESERVE ANY RESPECT; THEY DON’T RESPECT THEMSELVES, HOW CAN THEY EXPECT EXISTENCE TO BE RESPECTFUL TOWARDS THEM?SO REMEMBER, WHEN I AM GONE, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE ANYTHING. PERHAPS YOU MAY GAIN SOMETHING OF WHICH YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNAWARE.RIGHT NOW I AM AVAILABLE TO YOU ONLY EMBODIED, IMPRISONED IN A CERTAIN SHAPE AND FORM. WHEN I AM GONE, WHERE CAN I GO? I WILL BE HERE IN THE WINDS , IN THE OCEAN; AND IF YOU HAVE LOVED ME, IF YOU HAVETRUSTED ME, YOU WILL FEEL ME IN A THOUSAND AND ONE WAY. IN YOUR SILENT MOMENTS YOU WILL SUDDENLY FEEL MY PRESENCE.ONCE I AM UNEMBODIED, MY CONSCIOUSNESS IS UNIVERSAL. RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE TO COME TO ME. THEN, YOU WILL NOT TO SEEK AND SEARCH FOR ME. WHEREVER YOU ARE… YOUR THIRST, YOUR LOVE… AND YOU WILL FIND ME IN YOUR VERY HEART, IN YOUR VERY HEARTBEAT.

THE MIND CAN ONLY CONCEIVE LIMITED THINGS - OSHO

NOTHING MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE TO BLISS.
BLISS HAS SOME QUALITY OF PLEASURE IN IT, IT HAS SOME QUALITY OF HAPPINESS IN IT; BUT IT IS MUCH MORE. AND THE PLUS IS THAT YOU FEEL ABSOLUTELY FULFILLED, CONTENTED, WITH NO DESIRE, NO EXPECTATION. THIS VERY MOMENT YOU ARE WHERE EVERYBODY WANT TO BE, AND THERE IS A TREMENDOUS FEELING THAT MORE THAN THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE; THERE IS NO WAY. IT IS JUST AS THERE CAN BE NOTHING BIGGER THAN THE SKY; IT IS ABOUNDED. IT IS INCONCEIVABLE TO THE MIND, BECAUSE THE MIND CAN ONLY CONCEIVE LIMITED THINGS. HERE YOU CAN FEEL HOW LIMITED THE MIND IS. IT CANNOT EVEN CONCEIVE SOMETHING UNLIMITED.THE SKY IS THERE, WITHOUT BOUNDARIES. YOU CANNOT COME TO A POINT WHERE YOU CAN SAY, “HERE IS THE BOUNDARY.” JUST THINK ABOUT IT. HOW CAN YOU SAY, “HERE IS THE BOUNDARY?”--- BECAUSE A BOUNDARY MEANS THAT SOMETHING MUST BE BEYOND THE BOUNDARY. TWO THINGS ARE NEEDED, ABSOLUTELY NEEDED, TO MAKE A BOUNDARY. IF THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND, THEN NOTHING IS MAKING A BOUNDARY; THEN THERE IS NO BOUNDARY, YOU WILL HAVE TO GO INTO NOTHING. BUT YOU CAN NEVER COME TO A POINT WHERE YOU WILL FIND A BOARD: “HERE ENDS THE UNIVERSE.” IT ENDS NOWHERE, IT BEGINS NOWHERE. THE SAME IS THE EXPERIENCE OF BLISS. BLISS IS WITHIN YOU, WITHOUT YOU.BLISS ID IN THE LIFE, IT IS IN DEATH.IT IS WHEN YOU ARE HEALTHY, IT IS WHEN YOU ARE SICK.IT IS WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG, IT IS WHEN YOU ARE OLD.NOTHING MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE TO BLISS.BLISS IS SIMPLY TRANSCENDENTAL TO ALL THAT EXISTS IN THE UNIVERSE. AND BECAUSE IT IS UNIVERSAL, EVERYWHERE—WITHIN YOU, WITHIN ME HOWEVER DIFFICULT IT MAY BE TO EXPLAIN IT, TO EXPERIENCE IT IS NOT SO DIFFICULT. LET ME REPEAT MY STATEMENT BECAUSE THAT MAY APPEAR SOMEWHAT CRAZY: TO EXPLAIN BLISS IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN TO EXPERIENCE IT.

SAY TO EXISTENCE, "USE ME, - I AM AVAILABLE" - OSH...

WE COME WITH EMPTY HANDS
WE COME WITH EMPTY HANDS AND WE WILL GO WITH EMPTY HANDS, SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF CLAIMING SO MUCH IN THE MEANTIME? BUT THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW, WHAT THE WORLD TELLS US: POSSESS, DOMINATE, HAVE MORE THAN OTHER HAVE. IT MAY BE MONEY OR IT MAY BE VIRTUE; IT DOES NOT MATTER IN WHAT KINDS OF COINS YOU DEAL, THEY MAY BE WORLDLY, THEY MAY BE OTHERWORLDLY. BUT BE VERY CLEVER, OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE EXPLOITED. EXPLOIT AND DON’T BE EXPLOITED THAT IS THE SUBTLE MESSAGE GIVEN TO YOU WITH YOUR MOTHER’S MILK. AND EVERY SCHOOL, COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY, IS ROOTED IN THE IDEA OF COMPETITION.A REAL EDUCATION WILL NOT TEACH YOU COMPLETE; IT WILL TEACH YOU TO COOPERATE. IT WILL NOT TEACH YOU TO FIGHT AND COME FIRST. IT WILL TEACH YOU TO CREATIVE, TO BE LOVING, TO BE BLISSFUL, WITHOUT COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHER. IT WILL NOT TEACH YOU THAT YOU CAN BE HAPPY ONLY WHEN YOU ARE THE FIRST, THAT SHEER NONSENSE. YOU CAN’T BE HAPPY JUST BY BEING FIRST, AND IN TRYING TO BE FIRST YOU GO THROUGH SUCH MISERY THAT BY THE TIME YOU BECOME THE FIRST YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED TO MISERY.BY THE TIME YOU BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF PRIME MINISTER OF A COUNTRY YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH SUCH MISERY THAT NOW MISERY IS YOUR SECOND NATURE. YOU DON’T KNOW NOW ANY OTHER WAY TO EXIST; YOU REMAIN MISERABLE. TENSION HAS BECOME INGRAINED; ANXIETY HAS BECOME YOUR WAY OF LIFE. YOU DON’T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY; THIS IS YOUR VERY LIFESTYLE. SO EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE BECOME THE FIRST, YOU REMAIN CONTINUOUS, ANXIOUS, AFRAID. IT DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR INNER QUALITY AT ALL.A REAL EDUCATION WILL NOT TEACH YOU TO BE THE FIRST. IT WILL YOU TELL THE ENJOY WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING, NOT FOR THE RESULT; BUT FOR THE ACT ITSELF. JUST LIKE A PAINTER OR A DANCER OR A MUSICIAN…YOU CAN PAINT IN TWO WAYS. YOU CAN POINT TO COMPLETE WITH OTHER PAINTERS; YOU WANT TO BETHE GREATEST PAINTER IN THE WORLD, YOU WANT TO BE A PICASSO OR A VAN GOGH. THEN YOUR PAINTING WILL BE SECOND- RATE, BECAUSE YOUR MIND IS NOT INTERESTED IN PAINTING ITSELF; IT IS INTERESTED IN BEING THE FIRST, THE GREATEST PAINTER IN THE WORLD. YOU ARE NOT GOING DEEP INTO THE ART OF PAINTING. YOU ARE NOT ENJOYING IT, YOU ARE ONLY USING IT AS A STEPPING- STONE. YOU ARE ON AN EGO TRIP, AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT TO REALLY BE A PAINTER, YOU HAVE TO DROP THE EGO COMPLETELY. TO REALLY BE A PAINTER, THE EGO HAS TO BE PUT ASIDE. ONLY THEN CAN EXISTENCE FLOW THROUGH YOU. ONLY THEN CAN YOUR HANDS, YOUR FINGER AND YOUR BRUSH BE USED AS A VEHICLES. ONLY THEN CAN SOMETHING OF SUPERB BEAUTY BE BORN. REAL BEAUTY IS NEVER CREATED BY BUT ONLY THROUGH YOU. EXISTENCE FLOES; YOU BECOME ONLY A PASSAGE. YOU ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN, THAT’S ALL; YOU DON’T HINDER IT.BUT IF YOU ARE TOO INTERESTED IN THE RESULT, THE ULTIMATE RESULT THAT YOU HAVE TO BECOME FAMOUS, THAT YOU HAVE TO BE THE FIRST PAINTER IN THE WORLD, THAT YOU HAVE TO DEFEAT ALL OTHER PAINTERS HITHERTO, THEN YOUR INTEREST IS NOT IN PAINTING; PAINTING IS SECONDARY. AND OF COURSE, WITH A SECONDARY INTEREST IN PAINTING, YOU CAN’T PAINT SOMETHING ORIGINAL; IT WILL BE ORDINARY.EGO CANNOT BRING ANYTHING EXTRAORDINARY INTO THE WORLD; THE EXTRAORDINARY COMES ONLY THROUGH EGOLESSNESS. AND SO IS THE CASE WITH THE MUSICIAN AND THE DANCER. SO THE CASE IS WITHEVERYBODY. IN THE BHAGVAD GITA, KRISHNA SAYS: “DON’T THINK OF THE RESULT AT ALL. IT IS A MESSAGE OF TREMENDOUS BEAUTY AND SIGNIFICANCE AND TRUTH. DON’T THINK OF THE RESULT AT ALL. JUST DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH YOUR TOTALITY. GET LOST IN IT, LOSE THE DOER IN THE DOING. “DON’T “BE”, LET YOUR CREATIVE ENERGIES FLOW UNHINDERED. THAT’S WHY HE SAID TO ARJUNA: “DON’T ESCAPE FROM THE WAR… BECAUSE I CAN SEE THIS ESCAPE IS JUST AN EGO TRIP. THE WAY YOU ARE TALKING SIMPLY SHOWS THAT YOU ARE CALCULATING, YOU ARE THINKING THAT BY ESCAPING FROM THE WAR, YOU WILL A GREAT SAINT. RATHER THAN SURRENDERING TO THE WHOLE, YOU ARE TAKING YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY AS IF THERE WILL BE NO WAR IF YOU ARE NOT THERE.”KRISHNA SAYS TO ARJUNA, “JUST BE IN A STATE OF LET-GO. SAY TO EXISTENCE,’USE ME IN WHATEVER WAY YOU WANT TO USE ME. I AM AVAILABLE, UNCONDITIONALLY AVAILABLE.’ THEN WHATEVER HAPPENS THROUGH YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT AUTHENTICITY ABOUT IT. IT WILL HAVE INTENSITY, IT WILL HAVE DEPTH. IT WILL HAVE THE IMPACT OF THE ETERNAL ON IT.”

QUESTION OF THE MEANING OF LIFE IS SIMPLY NONSENSE - OSHO

ZORBA IS THE WAY TO BUDDHA.LIFE IN ITSELF IS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT TO ASK THE QUESTION OF THE MEANING OF LIFE IS SIMPLY NONSENSE. IT HAS TO BE REMEMBERED WE ASK ABOUT MEANING ONLY WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG.THE PEOPLE WHO ASK WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MISSED LIFE, WHO ARE ALIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL BREATHING, THEIR STILL BEATING, THEIR PULSE STILL GOING ON; OTHER THEY ARE DEAD. EXCEPT FOR THESE THREE THINGS THERE IS NOTHING IN THEIR LIFE.NATURALLY THE QUESTION ARISES: WHAT IS THE MEANING? HEART BEATING, BREATHING CONTINUOUS, PULSE PERFECTLY RIGHT BUT CAN THESE THREE THING GIVES YOU ANY FULFILMENT, ANY JOY? CAN THESE THREE THINGS BE THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE, THE MEANING OF BEING? THIS IS VEGETATING, NOT LIVING. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ASK, “WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?” BECAUSE THEY ARE MISSING IT.THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY LIVE IN LOVE WITH LIFE, IN LOVE WITH SMALL THING OF LIFE, NOT HANKERING FOR ANY GREAT THINGS, NON-AMBITIOUS. SIPPING A CUP OF TEA IS ENOUGH OF A JOY FOR THEM. JUST TO SEE THE SUNRISE IS SUCH A GLORY THAT WHO BOTHERS ABOUT THE MEANING OF LIFE? THEY ENJOY THEIR FOOD, THEY ENJOY THEIR CLOTHES, THEY ENJOY THEIR HOUSE, THEY ENJOY THEIR GARDEN, THEY ENJOY THEIR LOVE, THEIR BELOVEDS. THEY ENJOY MUSIC THEY ENJOY POETRY. THEY ENJOY EV EVERYTHING THAT IS ENJOYABLE, WITH NO GUILT. JOY IS NOT A SIN, AND TO BE HAPPY IS NOT A CRIME. ON THE CONTRARY, NOT TO ENJOY ONESELF IS A SIN, NOT TO BE HAPPY IS TO BE A CRIMINAL, BECAUSE THE PERSON IS NOT HAPPY IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING WRONG SOONER OR LATER. HE IS POTENTIALLY ON THE WAY TO CRIME. IF HE CANNOT BE HAPPY, HE CANNOT ALLOW ANYBODY ELSE TO BE HAPPY, THAT IS INTOLERABLE TO HIM. HE WILL BE DESTRUCTIVE OF OTHER PEOPLE’S JOY’S. IF HE CANNOT ENJOY HIMSELF, HE IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW ANYBODY ELSE ENJOY THEMSELVES EITHER. IT HURTS HIM THAT OTHER ARE ENJOYING THEMSELVES: “WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?” THE PAGAN IS NEVER A SAVIOUR, FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT IF SOMEBODY WANT TO BE MISERABLE, IT IS HIS BIRTHRIGHT LET HIM ENJOY HIS MISERY! IF HE IS ENJOYING HIS MISERY, WHO WE ARE TO INTERRUPT? IF HE WANTS TO GO TO HELL, THEN ARE YOU TO PREVENT HIM? HE IS NOT PREVENTING YOU FROM GOING TO HEAVEN; YOU JUST GO AND TAKE YOUR FLOCK WITH YOU, BUT LEAVE HIM ALONE.THE PAGAN LIVES WITHOUT ANY PRINCIPLES. TO LIVE ACCORDING TO PRINCIPLES IS NOT TO LIVE. TO LIVE ACCORDING TO PRINCIPLES YOU HAVE TO CUT MUCH OF YOUR LIVING ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLE. THE PRINCIPLE IS MORE IMPOTRANT THAN YOUR LIFE ITSELF. YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO THE PRINCIPLE; YOU CANNOT SACRIFICE THE PRINCIPLE TO YOUR LIFE. THE HAS NOTHING HIGHER THAN HIS LIFE. THE AUTHENTIC PAGAN HAS NO NEED OF RELIGION BECAUSE, WHATEVER RELIGION CAN PROVIDE, HE ALREADY HAS IT. RELIGION GIVES YOU ONLY HOPES; THE HAS ALL THOSE HOPES REALISED HERE NOW.THE PAGAN IS ONE WHO HAS NO SHOULD; HIS LIFE IS SHOULD-FREE. HE SIMPLY LIVES WITHOUT ANY GUIDELINES, WITH ANY PRINCIPLES WITHOUT ANY SAVIOUR, PROPHET, MESSIAH. HE HIMSELF IS HIS SAVIOUR, HIS MESSIAH, HIS PROPHET, HIS HOLY BOOK. THE IS REALLY A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL. I HAVE CALLED HIM ZORBA. THE PAGAN GOES ON LIVING PEACEFULLY IN HARMONY WITH NATURE; AND WITHOUT ANY EFFORT OF HIS PART, RELIGIOUSNESS FLOWERS IN HIM IF A MAN CAN BE AUTHENTICALLY A ZORBA, HE IS NOT FAR AWAY FROM BEING BUDDHA. HE HAS TRAVELLED ALMOST HALF THE PATH. AND THE FIRST HALF IS THE MOST DIFFICULT BECAUSE ALL THE RELIGIONS ARE AGAINST IT. ALL THE RELIGIONS DRAG YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE, AWAY FROM THE FIRST HALF; AND ONCE YOU ARE DRAGGED IN SOME OTHER DIRECTION, YOU CAN NEVER BE A BUDDHA BECAUSE ONLY THIS WAY GOES TO BUDDHA. ZORBA IS THE WAY TO BUDDHA.

I WOULD LIKE MY PEOPLE TO CREATE... - OSHO

I WOULD LIKE MY PEOPLE-PARTICULARLY THE WOMAN-TO CREATE AN AUTHENTIC WOMEN`S LIBERATION FRONT, WHICH WILL NOT BE OUT OF ANGER AND HATRED, WHICH WILL BE OUT OF UNDERSTANDING, COMPASSION, LOVE AND MEDITATION.…THE REBELLION IS NOT AGAINST MAN AS SUCH ,THE REBELLION IS AGAINST THE PAST OF MAN AND WOMAN BOTH.AND THEN THIS REBELLION WILL HAVE A QUALITY OF RELIGIOUSNESS,WHICH WILL BRING GRACE TO PEOPLE,GRATEFULNESS TO PEOPLE.

THE ONLY WAY - TO DROP THE MARRIAGE - SUGGESTS OSHO

THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THEIR STATUS OF WOMEN SEEMS TO BE TO ALLOW SCIENCE FULL FREEDOM TO TRANSFORM THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN,AND TO DROP THE IDEA OF MARRIAGE,WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY UGLY BECAUSE IT IS SIMPLY A KIND OF PRIVATE OWNERSHIP.HUMAN SHIP BEINGS CANNOT BE OWNED,THEY ARE NOT PROPERTY.AND LOVE SHOULD BE JUST A JOYFUL PLAY.AND IF YOU WANT CHILDREN,THEN CHILDREN SHOULD BELOVED TO THE SOCIETY SO THE WOMAN IS NOT LABELED AS MOTHER ,AS ,OR AS PROSTITUTE.THESE LABEL SHOULD BE REMOVED.

MAN'S CONSPIRACY - TELL OSHO

IT IS THE LONG CONDEMNATION OF FEMININE QUALITIES THAT HAS GONE DEEP INTO THE BLOOD AND BONES OF WOMEN.IT IS MAN`S CONSPIRACY TO PROVE HIMSELF SUPERIOR TO WOMAN-WHICH HE IS NOT…THE WOMEN`S LIBERATION MOVEMENT HAS TO LEARN ONE FUNDAMENTAL THING:THAT IS, NOT TO IMITATE MEN AND NOT TO LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FEMININE QUALITIES,THE FEMININE PERSONALITIES.DROP ALL THE IDEAS THAT MEN HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN YOUR HEADS.

NEW WORLD - NEW MAN - NEW WOMAN - CREATES OSHO

YOU CANNOT ENSLAVE ANYBODY WITHOUT BECOMING A SLAVE.WHAT YOU GIVE TO OTHERS,YOU HAVE TO GET BACK . GIVE LOVE AND YOU WILL GET LOVE .GIVE SLAVERY,AND YOU WILL GET SLAVERY.WHATEVER YOU GIVE COMES BACK TO SOME FROM OR OTHER.THEY BOTH NEED LIBERATION-LIBERATION FROM THE PAST.AND THEY HAVE TO CREATE A NEW WORLD,A NEW MAN,A NEW WOMAN.

MY WORK IS NOT LIKE A PAINTER... -- OSHO

LEAVING SOME IMPERFECTIONMY WORK IS NOT LIKE A PAINTER`S LIFE.IT IS NOT THAT I CAN COMPLETE THE PAINTING; IT IS ONE LONG PAINTING;AND I WILL BE GIVING TOUCHES TO THE PAINTING EVEN WHEN I AM BREATHING MY LAST –STILL, THE PAINTING WILL BE INCOMPLETE.IN LIFE, ONLY MAD PEOPLE ASK FOR PERFECTION.THE PERFECTIONIST IS ANOTHER NAME FOR SOMEONE WHO IS GETTING READY TO BECOME MAD.I WAS A GUEST IN A MAHARAJA`S A PLACE, AND THEW MAHARAJA WAS SHOWING ME AROUND-IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL PALACE. AT A CERTAIN PLACE HE STOPPED AND HE SAID, “DO YOU SEE?” THERE WAS A WALL, INCOMPLETE.I SAID, “WHY HAVE YOU LEFT IT INCOMPLETE?”HE SAID, “THE PALACE WAS MADE BY MY GRANDFATHER, AND THIS IS THE TRADITION IN OUR FAMILY THAT NOTHING SHOULD BE MADE PERFECT.SOME IMPERFECTION SHOULD BE LEFT SO THAT THE COMING GENERATION REMEMBER THAT LIFE DOES NOT ALLOW.”IMPERFECTION IS NOT SOMETHING BAD.IMPERFECTION IS THE ROOT OF ALL GROWTH; PERFECTION CAN ONLY BE DEATH.ONCE SOMETHING IS PERFECT, IT IS DEAD.THE PAINTING THATI HAVE STARTED WILL REMAIN IMPERFECT-ALTHOUGH I WILL GO TRYING TO MAKE IT PERFECT, BUT IT IS VERY NATURE OF EXISTENCE THAT IT CAN NOT BE PERFECT.AND IT IS NOT MY PAINTING.THOSE WHO ARE WITH ME, IT IS AS MUCH THEIR PAINTING TOO. WHEN I AM GONE, YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAINT IT. THE PAINTING HAS TO GO ON GROWING NEW FLOWERS, NEW FOLIAGE. DON’T LET IT BECOME PERFECT.THEN THERE IS TREMENDOUS BEAUTY… & ALWAYS FLOWING & GROWING, & THERE COMES NO FULL STOP.IN LIFE WE ARE ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE.YOU DON’T KNOW THE BEGINNING OF LIFE, YOU DON’T KNOW THE END OF LIFE. WE ARE ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE & EVERYBODY HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE MIDDLE. IT IS A PROCESS, AN ONGOING PROCESS, A RIVER THAT GOES ON FLOWING. THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF IT, THAT’S THE GLORY OF IT

IN NOTHINGNESS.... THE WHOLE DESCENDS IN YOU.... - OSHO

Nothing is nirvana. The west has no idea of the beauty of nothingness. The whole Western attitude is extrovert, oriented towards things, oriented towards actions. ‘Nothing sounds, like emptiness- it is not so. This is one of the greatest discoveries of the East: that nothing is not empty, on the country it is just the opposite of emptiness. It is fullness, it is over flowingness.Break the word ‘nothing’ in two, make it ‘no- thinness’, and then suddenly its meaning changes, the gestalt changes.Nothing is the goal of sannyas Nothing is the goal of sannyas. One has to come to a space where nothing is happening; all happening has disappeared. The doing is gone, the doer is gone, the desire is gone, the goal is gone. One simply is – not even a ripple in the lake of consciousness, no sound. The Zen people call it ‘the sound of one hand clapping’. Now one hand clapping cannot create sound; it is soundless sound, the omkar, just silence. But silence is not empty, it is very full. The moment you are absolutely silent, absolutely attuned with nothingness, the whole descends in you, the beyond penetrates you…….

WHO IS THE SPIRITUAL MAN - OSHO

Who is the spiritual man? The man who knows the joy of giving and who gives for no reason at all, who gives without any discrimination, who does not say ‘I will give to you because you are good and I will not give to you because you are bad.’ If you discriminate, then again something of the business has entered. God simply goes on giving to the sinners and to the saints, to all alike. When His clouds shower, they don’t only shower on the virtuous. When His sun rises it does not rise only for the good: it rises for all.Imbibe that spirit of sharing; let that become your very style of life. That I call prayer. That is the essential prayer: to be capable of giving without any idea of giving, to be capable of giving without any conditions attached to it, be capable of giving just out of your abundance.

SANNYAS NAME - GIVES OSHO

Wahid- all is one Multiplicity is false, it is only an appearance. Oneness is the truth of reality. We differ only superficially; deep down we are all one. On the circumference many, at the centre one. So if you look at the circumferences it is a chaos: everything seems to be accidental, unrelated to everything else. But if you look from centre, all is one; then it is a cosmos. Everything is interdependent, all are related. God is the thread, the thread of unity that runs through all. This is the meaning of ‘Wahid.’ Don’t get lost in the many remember the one.
Wahhab…
Another name for God. It means the one who always gives the bestower of gifts, the giver. All that we have is His gift, it is not our earning. We have not earned life - it is a sheer gift, for no reason at all. We don’t deserve it. The more you look at the benediction of life, the more the feeling arises: How can we deserve it? – the beauty of it, the joy of it, the utter splendor of it, the utter splendor of it. We have not done anything to deserved upon us. That is the meaning of the word.God is overflowing. He gives because He cannot help but give, he gives because of His abundance. He gives like the sun gives light or the flower gives fragrance- it is simply His nature. Once this is understood one can start moving towards God. This becomes the small path: you also become a giver – that’s the way to come close to Him.

BE ROOTED IN THE EARTH SO YOU CAN STRETCH TO THE SKY - OSHO

God and world are not twoBe rooted in the earth so that you can stretch to the sky; be rooted in the visible so that you can reach into the invisible. Don’t create duality and don’t create any antagonism. If I am against anything, I am against being antagonism. I am against being against anything; I am for the whole, the complete circle. The world and God are not divide anywhere. There is no boundary: the world goes on spreading into God and God goes on spreading into the world. Really, to use two words is not good but language creates problems. We say the creator and the created, we divide. Language is dualistic; in reality there is no created and no creator, only creativity, only a process of infinite creativity. Nothing is divided. Everything is one – undivided.

MY PEOPLE ARE RELATED TO ME INDIVIDUALLY - SAYS OS...

DISCIPLE-DISCIPLE RELATIONSHIPTHERE IS NO SUCH THING. DISCIPLE IN THE PAST HAS CREATED ORGANISATION. THAT WAS THERE THEIR RELATIONSHIP, THAT “WE ARE CHRISTIANS,” THAT “WE ARE MUSLIMS”THAT “WE BELONG TO ONE RELIGION, TO ONE FAITH AND BECAUSE WE BELONG TO ONE FAITH, WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS. WE WILL LIVE FOR THE FAITH AND WE WILL DIE FOR THE FAITH.”ALL ORGANISATION HAVE ARISEN OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISCIPLES.IN FACT, TWO DISCIPLES ARE NOT CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER AT ALL. EACH DISCIPLES IS CONNECTED WITH THE MASTERS IN HIS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. A MASTER CAN BE CONNECTED WITH MILLIONS OF DISCIPLES, BUT THE CONNECTION IS PERSONAL, NOT ORGANISATIONAL. DISCIPLES DON’T HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP. YES, THEY HAVE A CERTAIN FRIENDLINESS, A CERTAIN LOVINGNESS. I AM AVOIDING THE WORD “RELATIONSHIP”, BECAUSE THAT IS BINDING. I AM NOT CALLING IT FRIENDSHIP EVEN, BUT “FRIENDLINESS”—BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL FELLOW TRAVELLERS WALKING ON THE SAME PATH, IN LOVE WITH THE SAME MASTER, BUT THEY ARE RELATED TO EACH OTHER THROUGH THE MASTER.THEY ARE NOT RELATED TO EACH OTHER DIRECTLY. THAT HAS BEEN THE MOST UNFORTUNATE THING IN THE PAST: THAT DICIPLES BECAME ORGANISED, RELATED AMONGEST THEMSELVES, AND THEY WERE ALL IGNORANT. AND IGNORANT PEOPLE CAN ONLY CREATE MORE NUISANCE IN THE WORLD THAN ANYTHING ELSE. ALL THE RELIGIONS HAVE DONE EXACTLY THAT. MY PEOPLE ARE RELATED TO ME INDIVIDUALLY. AND BECAUSE THEY ARE ON TRHE SAME PATH, CERTAINLY THAY BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH EACH OTHER. A FRIENDLINESS ARISES, A LOVING ATMOSPHERE, BUT I DON’T WANT TO CALL IT ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP.WE HAVE SUFFERED TOO MUCH BECAUSE OF DICIPLES GETTING DIRECTLY RELATED TO EACH OTHER CREATING RELIGIONS, SECTS, CULTS AND THEN FIGHTING THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE. ATLEAST WITH ME, REMEMBER IT: YOU ARE NOT RELATED TO EACH OTHER IN ANY WAY AT ALL. JUST A LIQUID FRIENLINESS, NOT A SOLID FRIENDSHIP, IS ENOUGH--- AND FOR MORE BEAUTIFUL, AND WITHOUT ANY POSSIBILITY OF HARMING HUMANITY IN THE FUTURE.

NOT BECAUSE OF LOVE - BUT BECAUSE OF CONSCIOUSNESS - OSHO

WHY DID BUDDHA ESCAPES FROM HIS PALACE?
FREEDOM IS THE ULTIMATE DESIRE OF MAN
LOVE ORDINARILY IS UNCONSICOUS AND ANIMAL। IF YOU MAKE IT CONCIOUS—THAT MEANS LOVE PLUS MEDITATION- THEN THERE IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT QUAQLITY T0 IT, DIFFERENT BEAUTY, A DIFFERENT FLAVOUR THEN IT WORKS। BUT IT WORK BECAUSE OF CONCIOUSNESS NOT BECAUSE OF LOVE. AND CONCIOUSNESS CHANGES LOVE FROM RELATIONSHIP INTO A RELATEDNESS, IT CHANGES IT MORE INTO A FRIENDLINESS. IT IS NO LONGER A BONDAGE, IT GIVES FREEDOM.THEB MOMENT YOU BECOME MEDITATIVE YOU STOP REDUCING THE OTHER IN TO A THING. THEN YOU ARE NO LONGER A HUSBAND AND THE WIFE IS NO LONGER A WIFE, YOU ARE JUST TWO FRIENDS. THERE IS NO LEGAL BOND. YOU LIVE TOGETHER OUT OF FREEDOM, OUT OF JOY. YOU WANT TO SHARE, THAT’S WHY YOU LIVE TOGETHER. IF THAT SHARING STOPS YOU SIMPLY SAY GOOD BYE TO EACH OTHER WITH GREAT RESPECT, GRATITUDE, BECAUSE WHAT SO EVER THE OTHER HAS DONE ONE HAS TO BE GREATFUL FOR THERE IS NO SOURNESS ABOUT IT.CONCIOUSNESS WORKS FOR BOTH WAYS.. IF YOU LIVE TOGETHER IT IS A FRIENDSHIP, AND FRIENSHIP GIVES YOU FREEDOM.YOU CAN BE FRIENDLY WITH MANY PEOPLE, THERE IS NO POSSESSIVENESS IN IT, THERE IS NO EXCLUSIVENESS IN IT, THERE IS NO JEALOUSY IN IT THERE IS FREEDOM.FREEDOM WORKS, AND THE MOMENT LOVE STARTS GIVING FREEDOM TO THE OTHER THEN THERE COMES A TREMENEDOUS FULFILLMENT OUT OF IT, BECAUSE THE GREATEST DESIRE OF MEN IS FREEDOM, NOT LOVE IF ONE HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LOVE & FREEDOM, THEN THE CONCIOUS PERSON WILL CHOOSE FREEDOM AND THE UNCONCIOUS ONE WILL CHOOSE LOVE.WHY DID BUDDHA ESCAPES FROM HIS PALACE? THERE WAS ENOUGH LOVE, INFACT MORE THAN A MAN CAN DIGEST.HIS FATHER HAD GATHERED ALL THE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AVAILABLE IN HIS KINGDOM. HE WAS SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. HE ESCAPED – HE COULD SEE THE BONDAGE. A GREAT DESIRE FO0R FREEDOM AROSE IN HIM.THAT’S WHY THE EAST THE ULTIMATE STATE IS CALLED MOKSHA: MOKSHA MEANS ABSOLUTE FREEDOM--- IT IS HIGHER PHENOMENON ।JESUS CALLED GOD IS LOVE—IT IS LITTLE BIT LOWER। BUDDHA CALLS IT NIRVANA—THE ABSOLUTE FREEDOM SO ABSOLUTE FREEDOM THAT YOU ARE EVEN FREE FROM YOURSELF। YOURSELF WAS A BONDAGE, WAS A LIMITATION. YOU ARE FREE FROM EVERYTHING EVEN FROM YOURSELF. IT IS PURE FREEDOM! FREEDOM IS THE ULTIMATE DESIRE OF MAN. MAN COMES TO FLOWERING ONLY IN FREEDOM. MEDITATION BRINGS FREEDOM.AND I AM NOT AGAINST LOVE: IT IS JUST ONE STEP LOWER THAN FREEDOM, AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO HAVE LOVE AS A FRAGRANCE AROUND YOU. LET FREEDOM BE YOUR CENTRE AND LOVE BE YOUR CIRCUMFERENCE. LET LOVE BE THE CIRCUMFERENCE AND FREEDOM THE CENTRE, AND YOU WILL HAVE A TOTAL BEING, A WHOLE BEING.

LOVE IS BASIC NEED - OSHO SAYS

LOVE - AS BASIC - AS FREEDOMLove is basic need, as basic as freedom, so both have to be fulfilled. And a man who is full of love and free is the most beautiful phenomenon in the world. And when two person of such beauty meet, their relationship is not a relationship at all. It is a relating. It is a constant, river like flow. It is continuously growing towards greater heights.

A WORLD OF INDIVIDUALS - OSHO VISION

OSHO VISIONMy vision of a real humanity is of pure individuals – relating to each other but not tied in any relationship; loving to each other but not being possessive of each other; sharing with each other person… a world consisting not of families, not of nations, not of races, but only of individuals.

THEN YOU CAN LOVE - SAYS OSHO

Whenever I use the word ‘love’, I use it as state of being, no as a relationship. Relationship is only a very minor aspect of it. But your idea of love is basically that of relationship, as if that is all. Relationship is needed only because you can’t be alone, because you are not yet tremendously blissful. Then you can love. Then your love is no more a need but a sharing, no more a necessity. You will share-- and sharing is beautiful

LOVE IS SUFFERING BOTH WAYS - I SAY FOLLOW THE DIVINE WAY - OSHO

REMAIN TRUE TO LOVEI AM IN FAVOR OF LOVE.LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU: BE TRUE TO LOVE, AND DON’T BOTHER ABOUT PARTNERS. WHETHER ONE PARTNER OR MANY PARTNERS IS NOT THE QUESTION. THE QESTION IS WHETHER YOUR ARE TRUE TO LOVE. IF YOU LIVE WITH A WOMAN OR WITH A MAN AND YOU DON’T LOVE HIM, YOU LIVE IN SIN. IF YOU ARE MARRIED TO SOMEBODY AND YOU DON’T LOVE THAT PERSON AND YOU STILL GO ON LIVING WITH HIM, MAKING LOVE TO HIM OR HER, YOU ARE COMMITTING A SIN AGAINST LOVE… AND LOVE IS GOD.YOU ARE DECIDING AGAINST LOVE FOR SOCIAL COMFORTS, CONVENIENCES, FORMALITIES. IT IS A WRONG AS IF YOU GO AND RAPE A WOMAN YOU DON’T LOVE YOU GO AND RAPE A WOMAN; IT IS A CRIME- BECAUSE YOU DON’T LOVE THE WOMAN AND THE WOMAN DOES NOT LOVE YOU. BUT THE SAME HAPPENS IF YOU LIVE WITH A WOMAN AND YOU DON’T’T LOVE HER. BUT THE SAME HAPPENS IF YOU LIVE WITH A WOMAN YOU DON’T LOVE HER THEN IT IS A RAPE—SOCIALLY ACCEPTED, OF COURSE, BUT IT IS A RAPE—AND YOU ARE GOING AGAINST THE GOD OF LOVE.SO, LIKE IN THE EAST, PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED TO LIVE WITH ONE PARTNER FOR THEIR WHOLE LIVES; NOTHING IS WRONG. IF YOU RAMAIN TRUE TO LOVE, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS TO REMAIN WITH ONE PERSON, BECAUSE INTIMACY GROWS. BUT, NINETY-NINE PER CENT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES THAT THERE IS NO LOVE; YOU ONLY LIVE TOGETHER. AND BY LIVING TOGETHER A CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP GROWS WHICH IS ONLY OF LIVING TOGETHER, NOT OF LOVE. AND DON’T MISTAKE IT FOR LOVE. BUT IF IT IS POSSIBLE, IF YOU LOVE A PERSON AND LIVE THE HOLE LIFE WITH HIM OR WITH HER. A GREAT INTIMACY WILL GROW AND LOVE WILL HAVE DEEPER AND DEEPER REVELATIONS TO MAKE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE IF YOU GO ON CHANGING PARTNERS VERY OFTEN. IT IS AN IF YOU GO ON CHANGING A TREE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, THEN ANOTHER THEN IT NEVER GROWS ROOTS ANYWHERE. TO GROW ROOTS, A TREE NEEDS TO REMAIN IN ONE PLACE. THEN IT GOES DEEPER, AND THEN IT BECOMES STRONGER. INTIMACY IS GOOD, AND TO REMAIN IN ONE COMMITEMENT IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT THE BASIC NECESSITY IS LOVE. IF A TREE IS ROOTED IN A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE ONLY ROCKS AND THERE ARE KILLING THE TREE, THEN IT IS BETTER TO REMOVE IT. THEN DON’T INSIST THAT IT SHOULD REMAIN IN THE ONE PLACE. REMAIN TRUE TO LIFE – REMOVE THE TREE, BECAUSE NOW IT IS GOING AGAINST LIFE.IN THE WEST, PEOPLE ARE CHANGING—TOO MANY RELATION SHIPS. LOVE IS KILLED IN BOTH WAYS. IN THE EAST IT IS KILLED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO CHANGE, IN THE WEST IT IS KILLED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO REMAIN WITH ONE PARTNER FOR A LONGERTIME – AFRAID BECAUSE IT BECOME A COMMITMENT. SO BEFORE IT BECOME A COMMITMENT, CHANGE. SO YOU REMAIN FLOATING AND FREE, SO A CERTAIN LICENTIOUSNESS IN GROWING. AND IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM, LOVE IS ALMOST CRUSHED, STARVED TO DEATH. LOVE HAS SUFFERED BOTH WAYS: IN THE EAST PEOPLE CLING TO SECURITY, COMFORT, FORMALITY, IN THE WEST THEY CLING TO THEIR EGO’S FREEDOM, NON - COMMITMENT – BUT LOVE IS SUFFERING BOTH WAYS.I AM IN FAVOUR OF LOVE. I AM NEITHER EASTERN NOR WESTERN, AND I DON’T BORTHER TO WHICH SOCIETY YOU BELONG. I BELONG TO NO SOCIETY. I AM IN FAVOUR OF LOVE. ALWAYS REMEMBER: IF IT IS A LOVE RELATIONSHIP, GOOD. WHILE LOVE LASTS REMAIN IN IT AS DEEPLY COMMITTED AS POSSIBLE. REMAIN IN IT AS TOTALLY AS POSSIBLE; BE ABSORBED BY THE RELATIONSHIP. THEN LOVE WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSFORM YOU. BUT IF THERE IS NO LOVE, IT IS BETTER TO CHANGE. BUT THEN, DON’T BECOME AN ADDICT OF CHANGE. DON’T MAKE IT A HABIT. DON’T LET IT BECOME A MACHANICAL HABIT THAT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE AFTER EACH TWO OR THREE YEAR AS ONE HAS TO CHANGE ONE’S CAR AFTER EACH TWO OR THREE YEARS, OR AFTER EACH YEAR. A NEW COMES ACROSS A NEW WOMAN. IT IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT. A WOMEN IS A WOMAN, IS A MAN. THE DIFFERENCES ARE ONLY SECONDARY BECAUSE IT IS A QUESTION OF ENERGY. THE FEMALE ENERGY IS FEMALE ENERGY. IN EACH WOMAN ALL WOMAN ARE REPRESENTED, AND IN EACH MAN ALL MEN ARE REPRESENTED. THE DIFFRENCES ARE VERY SUPERFICIAL; THE NOSE IS A LITTLE LONGER, OR IT IS NOT A LITTLE LONGER; THE HAIR IS BLOND OR BRUNETTESMALL DIFFERENCES, JUST ON THE SURFACE. DEEP DOWN, THE QUESTION IS OF FEMALE AND MALE ENERGY, SO IF LOVE IS THERE STICK TO IT. GIVE IT A CHANGE TO GROW. BUT IF IT IS NOT THERE. CHANGE BEFORE YOU BECOME ADDICTED TO A RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT LOVE.YOU ASK ME WHETHER TO FOLLW THE EASTERN WAY OR THE WESTERN WAY. NEITHER; YOU FOLLOW THE DIVINE WAY.

DEPART WITH A SONG IN THE HEART - WITH A SMILE ON THE LIPS - WITH A HUG - WITH A KISS - SAYS OSHO

RELATIONSHIP NO, RELATING, YES!I CALL IT RELATING. YOU CAN RELATE, BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO CREATE ANY BONDAGE, THERE IS ON NEED TO CREATE ANY MARRIAGE. YOU CAN RELATE WITH SOMEBODY, YOU CAN RELATE TO THE SAME PERSON YOUR WHOLE LIFE, BUT TOMORROW REMAINS OPEN, IT IS NOT CLOSED. TOMORROW IS NOT SETTLED TODAY, YOU CANNOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED; TOMORROW YOU MAY FEEL LIKE SHARING WITH THE SAME PERSON, THE SAME PERSON MAY LIKE SHARING OR MAY NOT LIKE SHARING. EVEN IF ONE OF THHE TWO DECIDEDS NOT TO SHARE, THEN YOU SAY GOOD-BUY TO EACH OTHER WITH GREAT GRATITUDE BECAUSE ALL THAT JOY AND ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE ANJD ALL THAT HAS TRANSPIRED BEFORE ONE IS GRATEFUL FOR. WITH NO GRUDGE, WITH NO CIMPLAINT, WITH NO QUARREL., YOU SIMPLY DEPART. YOU KNOW, “OUR WAYS ARE PARTING NOW, WE MAY NOT MEET AGAIN.” SO YOU DEPART WITH A SONG IN THE HEART, WITH A SMILE ON THE LIPS; WITH A HUG, WITH A KISS, YOU DEPART. YOU DEPART IN DEEP FRIENDLESS. IT IS NOT A DIVORCE BECAUSE THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY MARRIAGE AT ALL IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU WERE NOT BOUND TO EACH OTHER. YOU HAD ALWAYS BEEN FREE, YOU HAD ALWAYS REMAINED INDIVIDUALS.TWO INDIVIDUALS RELATING REMAIN INDIVIDUALS TWO INDIVIDUALS; TWO INDIVIDUALS GETTING INTO A RELATIONSHIPS LOSE THEIR INDIVIDUALITY. THEY BECOME A COUPLE, AND TO BE A COUPLE IS AN UGLY THING. THAT MEANS YOU HAVE LOST YOUR FREEDOM, YOU ARE NO MORE YOURSELF; THE OTHER IS ALSO NO MORE HIMSELF OR HERSELF. BOTH HAVE LOST THEIR FREEDOM AND NOBODY HAS GAINED ANYTHING OUT OF IT.THAT’S WHY SARTRE SAYS, “THE OTHER IS HELL.” “BUT STILL I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU: IT IS NOT TH OTHER IT IS THE DESIRE FOR THE OTHER. WHEN YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE FUTILITY OF DESIRE, THE UTTER STUPIDITY OF DESIRE, THEN YOU RELATE IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAYS; A QUALITIVE CHANGE HAPPEN TO YOU. YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF; YOU ARE NOT SEEKING HAPPINESS THROUGH THE OTHER. YOU ARE SO HAPPY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH SOMEBODY, THAT’S WHY YOU RELATE. RELATIONSHIP ORIGINATE IN MISERY, RELATING ORIGINATE IS BLISS.

EACH PERSON IS A HIDDEN FACE OF GOD - SAYS OSHO

THE ART OF BEING WITH OTHERSLOVE MEANS THE ART OF BEING WITH OTHERS. MEDITATION MEANS THE ART OF BEING WITH YOUSELF. BOTH ARE TWO ASPECTS OF THE SAME COIN. A PERSON WHO DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO BE WITH HIMSELF CANNOT TRULY RELATE WITH OTHERS, HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH WILL BE AWKWARD, GRACELESS, UGLY, HAPHAZARD ACCIDENTAL. ONE MOMENT EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL AND ANOTHER MOMENT EVERYTHING IS GONE. IT WILL ALWAYS BE GOING UP AND DOWNL: IT WILL NOT GAIN DEPTH. IT WILL BE VERY NOISY. CERTAINLY IT WILL GIVE YOU AN OCCUPATION, BUT IT WILL NOT HAVE ANY MELODY TO IT, AND IT CANNOT TAKE YOU TO THE HEIGHTS OF EXISTENCE OR DEPHTS OF BEING, AND VICE VERSA: THE PERSON WHO IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING WITH OTHERS, OF RELATING, WILL FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO RELATE WITH HIMSELF, BECAUSE THE ART OF RELATING IS THE SAME: WHEATHER YOU RELATE WITH OTHER OR YOU RELATE WITH YOURSELF DOES NOT MAKE DIFFERENCE, IT IS THE SAME ART.BOTH THESE ART HAVE TO BE LEARNED TOGETHER SIMULTANEOUSLY; THEY ARE INSEPARABLE. BE WITH PEOPLE, AND NOT UNCONCIOUSLY, BUT VERY CONSCIOUSLY. RELATE WITH PEOPLE AS IF YOU ARE SINGING A SONG, AS IF YOU ARE PLAYING ON AS FLUTE; EACH PERSON HAS TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. RESPECT, LOVE WORSHIP-BECAUSE EACH PERSON IS A HIDDEN FACE OF GOD.SO BE VERY CAREFUL. VERY ALTENTIVE, REMEMBER WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, REMEMBER WHAT YOU ARE DOING. JUST SMALL THINGS DESTROY RELATIONSHIPS, AND SMALL THINGS MAKE RELATIONSHIPS SO BEAUTIFUL. SOMETHIMS JUST A SMILE, AND THE OTHERS’S HEART IS IPEN TO YOU; SOMETIMES JUST A WRONG LOOK IN YOUR EYES, AND THE OTHER ISCLOSED IT IS A DELICATE PHENOMENON. THINK OF IF AS AN ART; JUST AS THE PAINTER IS VERY WATCHFUL OF WHAT HE IS DOING TO THE CANVAS, EACH SINGLE STROKE IS GOING TO MAKE A TREMEADOUS DIFFERENCE. A REAL PAINTER CAN CHANGE THE WHOLE PAINTING JUST BY A SINGLE STROKE.A SMALL BOY WAS TALKING TO ANOTHER BOY AND HE WAS SAYING. “MY FATHER IS A GREEAT PAINTER, HE IS SUCH AS ARTIST, JUST THE OTHER DAY HE WAS PAINTING AND HE PAINTED A VERY SAD FACE, AND I TOLD HIM TO ‘CHANGE IT.’ AND JUST A SINGLE STOKES OF HIS BRUSH AND THE PAINTING WAS TOTALLY CHANGED; THEN THE SAD FACE STARTED LAUGHING.”THE OTHER BOY SAID, “THAT’S NOTHING. MY MOTHER CAN DO THAT VERY SIMPLY-JUST A HIT A LANGHING FACE STARTS CRYING!”LIFE HAS TO BE LEARNED AS AN ART: VERY CAUTIOUSLY, VERY DELIBERATELY… SO RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER HAS TO BECOME A MIRROR: SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, HOW YOU ARE DOING IT AND WHAT IS HAPPENING. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE OTHER? ARE YOU MAKING THEIR LIFE MORE MISERABLE? ARE YOU GIVING THEM PAIN? ARE YOU REATING A HELL FOR THEM? THEN WITHDRAW. CHANGE YOUR WAYS, BEAUTIFUL LIFE AROUND YOURSELF. LET EVERY PERSON FEEL THAT THE MEETING WITH YOU IS A GIFT: JUST BEING WITH YOU SOMETHING STARTS FLOWING, GRAWING, SOME SONGS START ARISING IN THE HEART, SOME FLOWERS START OPENING. AND WHEN YOU ARE ALONE, THEN SIT UTTERLY SILENT, ABSOULTELY IN SILENCE, AND WATH YOURSELF: WATCH YOUR BREATHING, WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS, WATCH YOUR MEMORIES, WATCH YOURSELF IN YOUR TOTALITY WITHOUT INTERFERING – SIMPLE WATCHING. AND SLOWLY WATCHING ONE’S BREATHING, ONE’S MEMORIES, SLOWLY, SLOWLY, GREAT AWARENESS EXPLODES, ONE BECOMES FULL OF LIGHT WITHIN. THAT IS THE ART OF MEDIATION.AND REMEMBER BOTH: JUST AS THE BIRD HAS TWO WINGS LET LOVE AND MEDITATION BE YOUR TWO WINGS. CREATE A SYNCHRONICITY BETWEEN THEM, SO THEY ARE NOT IN ANY WAY IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER, BUT NURSING EACH OTHR, NURTUNING EACH OTHER, HELPING OTHER. THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR PATH: THE SYNTHESIS BETWEEN LOVE AND MEDITATION.

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.

MULLA MAGIC - OSHO

OSHO JOKE
· A friend of Mulla Nasrudin was talking to him. He said,’ my wife is an angel.’Mullah said,’ but my is still alive.’

I SAY INTELLIGNCE - NOT INTELLECT KNOWINGLY - OSHO...

TO BE HAPPY GREAT INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDEDTO BE UNHAPPY NO INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED. EVRY BODY IS CAPABLE OF BEING UNHAPPY BUT HAPPYNESS IS VERY, VERY RARE. GREAT TALENT IS NEEDED. NOT ONLY INTELLECT, INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED. ONLY RARELY DOES A BUDDHA, A KRISHNA, BECOME HAPPY. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE HAPPY.SO LET US TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT UNHAPPINESS IS. UNHAPPINESS IS THE INCAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND LIFE, THE INCAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND ONESELF, THE INCAPACITY TO CREATE A HARMONY BETWEEN YOU AND EXISTANCE. UNHAPPINESS IS A DISCORD BETWEEN YOU AND REALITY; SOMETHING IS IN CONFLICT BETWEEN YOU AND EXISTANCE. HAPPINESS IS WHEN NOTHING IS IN CONFLICT---- WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER, AND YOU ARE ALSO TOGETHER WITH EXISTENCE. WHEN THERE IS A HARMONY, WHEN EVERYTHING IS FLOWING WITHOUT ANY CONFLICT,SMOOTH, RELEXED, THEN YOU ARE HAPPY. HAPPINESS IS POSSIBLE ONLY WITH GREAT UNDERSTANDING, AN UNDERSTANDING LIKE THE PEAKS OF THE HIMALAYAS. LESS THAN THAT WON’T DO.ANYBODY IS CAPABLE OF BEING UNHAPPY ANY MOMENT,THAT`S HOW WHOLE WORLD IS SO UNHAPPY.TO BE HAPPY YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE SUCH A GREAT UNDERSTANING ABOUT YOU AND ABOUT THE EXISTENCE IN WHICH YOU EXIST,THAT EVERYTHING FALLS IN LINE,IN DEEP ACCORD,IN RHYTHM.AND BETWEEN YOUR ENERGY AND THE ENERGY THAT SURROUNDS YOU,A DANCE HAPPENS AND YOU START MOVING IN STEP WITH LIFE.HAPPINESS IS WHEN YOU DISAPPEAR.UNHAPPINESS IS WHEN YOU ARE TOO MUCH.YOU ARE THE DISCORD YOUR ABSENCE WILL BE THE ACCORD.SOMETIMES YOU HAVE GLIMPSES OF HAPPINESS—WHEN BY SOME ACCIDENT YOU ARE NOT THERE.LOOKING AT NATURE ,OR LOOKING AT THE STARS,OR HOLDING THE HAND OF YOUR BELOVED,OR MAKING LOVE..IN SOME MOMENTS YOU ARE NOT THERE.IF YOU ARE THERE,EVEN THERETHERE WILL BE NO HAPPINESS.IF YOU ARE MAKING LOVE TO YOUR BELOVED AND IT IS REALLY AS YOU EXPRESS IT,A `MAKING` THEN THERE WILL BE NO HAPPINESS.LOVE CANNOT BE MADE.YOU CAN BE IN IT OR NOT IN IT,BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT. THE ENGLISH EXPRESSION IS UGLY.TO` `MAKE LOVE`IS ABSURD.HOW CAN YOU MAKE IT?IF THE MAKER IS THERE, THE DOER IS THERE,THE TECHNICIAN GOES ON EXISTING.AND IF YOU FOLLOW SOME TECHNIQUES FROM MASTERS AND JOHNSON OR SOME VATSYAYANA OR SOME OTHER SOURCE,AND YOU ARE NOT LOST IN IT,HAPPINESS WILL NOT HAPPEN.WHEN YOU ARE LOST,YOU DON`T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING,YOU DON`T KNOW WHAT YOU ARRE DOING,YOU ARE POSSESSED BY THE WHOLE,THE PART DOES NOT EXIST SEPRATE FROM THE WHOLE…THEN THERE IS AN ORGASMIC EXPERIENCE.THAT IS WHAT HAPPINESS IS.FOR HAPPINESS YOU WILL NEED TREMENDOUS INTELLIGENCE.AND I SAY INTELLIGENCES,NOT INTELLECT,KNOWINGLY.INTELLECT YOU CAN GET FROM THE MARKET ,INTELLECT YOU CAN GET FROM THE UNIVERSITY.INTELLECT IS TRANSFERABLE,INTELLECT IS MECHANICAL,INTELLECT IS OF THE BIO-COMPUTER YOU CALL MIND.INTELLIGENCE IS NOT OF THE MIND,INTELLIGENCE IS OF THE NO –MIND—WHAT ZEN PEOPLE CALL NO-MIND.INTELLIGENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INFORMATION,KNOWLEDGE;IT HAS ONLY ONE AND THAT ELEMENT IS OF AWARENESS.IF YOU ARE INTELLIGENT THEN YOUR LIFE WILL BE ONE OF HAPPINESS.WHY IS INTELLIGENT THEN NEEDED? BECAUSE LIFE IN ITSELF IS MEANINGLESS.MEANING IS NOT SOMETHING SITTING THERE AND YOU HAVE JUST TO REACH AND POSSESS IT.MEANING HAS TO BE CREATED.PEOPLE COME TO ME AND THEY ASK,`WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?`AS IF LIFE HAS ANY MEANING .LIFE HAS NO MEANING—THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF LIFE.THAT`S WHY IT IS FREEDOM.YOU ARE FREE TO CREATE YOUR OWN MEANING AND I AM FREE TO CREATE MY MEANING.IF LIFE HAS A MEANING,THEN WE WILL ALL BE JUST SLAVES AND THAT MEANING WILL NOT BE WORTH ANYTHING.LIFE IS FREEDOM.IT DOES NOT IMPOSE ANY MEANING ON YOU;IT SIMPLY GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE YOUR OWN MEANING.THE MEANING HAS TO BE CREATED.IT IS NOT LIKE A THING THAT YOU CAN UNCOVER,YOU WILL HAVE TO BECOME YOUR MEANING,YOU WILL HAVE HAVE TO GIVE A REBIRTH TO YOURSELF.THAT`S WHY I SAY MUCH INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED.ONLY WHEN YOU FEEL MEANING IN ITSELF,YOU HAVE TO BRING MEANING INTO IT.LIFE IS JUST RAW MATERIAL,YOU HAVE TO CREAT YOUR MEANING OUT OF IT. YOU HAVE TO CREAT YOUR GOD.GOD IS NOT THERE WAITING FOR YOU.YOU INNERMOST CORE OF BEING. ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE HAPPY.TO CREATE MEANING, YOU WILL HAVE TO BE A CREATOR. PAINTERS PAINT, CREATE PAINTINGS; POETS WRITE, CREATE POETRY; DANCERS CREATE DANCE… BUT THESE ARE ALL JUST FRAGMENTS. A RELIGIOUS PERSON CREATES HIMSELF; THE RELIGIOUS PERSON IS THE GREATEST ARTIST THERE IS .ALL OTHER ARTISTS ARE JUST FINDING SUBSTITUTES AND ONE DAY OR OTHER THEY WILL BECOME FRUSTRATED. YOU HAVE WRITTEN MANY POEMS, THEN ONE DAY REALISE, ‘WHAT IS THE POINT? WHY GO ON WRITING? YOU HAVE PAINTED , THEN ONE DAY SUDDENLY YOU REALISE, ‘WHAT IS THE POINT? FOR WHOM? FOR WHAT?’ ONE DAY YOU WILL DIE AND ALL WILL BE LEFT AND WILL DISAPPEAR. SO WHAT IS THE POINT?UNLESS YOU FEEL A POINT OF IMMORTALITY IN WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING YOU CANNOT BE HAPPY, AND THAT POINT OF IMMORTALITY WITHIN YOURSELF.GURDJIEFF USED TO SAY, AND VERY RIGHTLY, THAT MAN IS NOT BORN WITH A SOUL. ALL OTHER RELIGIOUS SAY THAT MAN IS BORN WITH A SOUL, BUT GURDJIEFF’S SAYING IS TREMENDOUSLY SIGNIFICANT--- MAN IS NOT BORN WITH A SOUL. AND UNLESS YOU CREATE IT, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY SOUL , YOU WILL EXIST EMPTY AND YOU DIE EMPTY.YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE IT, THAT’S WHY I SAY GREAT INTELLIGENCE IS NEEDED.

REAL AND LASTING SOLUTION OF HAPPINESS - OSHO

POLITICS OF HAPPINESSBY AND LARGE PEOPLES IN THE POOR COUNTRIES OF ASIA, AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA MAY NOT BE AS RICH AS THOSEW IN WESTERN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY ARE BETTER ADJUSTED TO ACCEPT THEIR LOT PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE RELIGIOUS. CHURCHES ARE EMPTY IN EUROPE, THE ARE FULL IN AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA WHILE THE TEMPLES IN ASIA ARE ALWAYS OVERFLOWING.SO RELIGION SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR FACTOR IN BEING HAPPY. THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES OF NORTH OF NORTH EUROPE ARE AN EXCEPTION BUT THEY DONOT HAVE SO MANY`SUPER RICH`AS WEALTH IS MORE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AMONG THESE PEOPLE.SO COUNTRIES ENABLING THE RICH TO BECOME MUCH RICHER END UP BY BEING UNHAPPIER. AS MORE AND MORE BECOME BILLIONAIRES, MILLION BECOME POORER AS OVER TWO BILLION OUT OF SIX BILLION LIVE ON LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR A DAY AS THE GAP RICH-POOR GAP INCREASES, SO DO THE SOCIAL TENSION, CRIME AND VIOLENCE. PRIME MINISTER MANMOHAN SINGH MADE THIS POINT RECENTLY WHEN HE CRITICISED HUGE PAY PACKETS AND OBSCENE CONSUMPTION IN A COUNTRY WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF THE POOR IN THE WORLD.THUS IT IS PERTINENT TO EXAMINE THE ROOTS OF HAPPINESS. AND OSHO BRINGS A REFRESHING INSIGHT ON HOW TO EMBARK ON THIS PURSUIT AND DRASTICALLY CHANGE COURSE FOR REAL AND LASTING SOLUTION.

AMERICANS ARE PURSUING HAPPINESS BUT NOT ATTAINING IT ?

ECONOMICS OF HAPPINESSBHUTAN,THAILAND, CHINA AND GREAT BRITAIN ARE ALL TRYING TO MAKE HAPPINESS A PART OF THEIR GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND ECONOMICS.THE KING OF BHUTAN WANTS TO EMPHASISE GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS(GHP) IN ADDITION TO GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT(GNP);THAI PRIME MINISTER WANTS A HAPPINESS MEASURE IN THE COUNTRY`S FIVE YEAR PLAN;CHINESE BUREAUCRATS WANTS A HAPPINESS INDEX;AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT HAS CREATED A WELL BEING INDEX.THE BBC IS TRYING TO DISCOVER THE’HAPPINESS FORMULA’ IN A SERIES OF PROGRAMMES IN JUNE 2007.IN 1776, THE AMERICIAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE DECLARED` THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS` AS A SELF EVIDE3NT TRUTH.RECENTLY,A BEST SELLING BOOK MADE INTO A HOLLYWOOD BOX OFFICE HIT,’ THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS’ MADE A POWEERFUL IMPACT WHEN IT MAINTAINED THAT AMERICIANS ARE PURSUING HAPPINESS BUT NOT ATTAINING IT.IN THE NEW CENTURY,MANY RICH COUNTRIES ARE REALISING THAT MONEY DOES NOT BRING HAPPINESS.THE RATES OF DIVORCE,DRUG TAKING,CRIME,VIOLENCE,SUICIDES AND MENTAL DISORDER IN THE SO-CALLED DEVELOPED COUNTRIES HAVE MADE POLICY MAKERS THINK DEEPLY INTO THEIR POLICIES THAT PROVIDE HIGH STANDARDS OF LIVING BUT LOW QUALITY OF LIFE.SO A NEW APPROACH IS BEING WORKED OUT TO TARGET HAPPINESS.FIRST THEY TRIED TO WHAT BRING HAPPINESS AND FOUND THAT THE FIRST SOURCE IS EMPLOYMENT,THEN MARRIAGE,CHILDREN,FAMILY VALUES AND FRIENDS.MONEY CAN BRING HAPPINESS ONLY TO A POINT .BEING SUPER-RICH BRINGS PLENTY OF PROBLEMS: OVER EXPOSURE IN THE MEDIA,GREATER RISKS TO LIFE LIKE KIDNAPPING,THEFT OF ASSETS AND ENVY.
