OSHO VISION

Living is hard, loving is harder. But fantasising about love is easy -- that's what people misunderstand for love.
So whenever people say that they have fallen in love, they are just fantasising, projecting. Whatsoever they need, they go on projecting onto the other. They make the other to look as they would like, they paint the other's face in their own colours. Falling in love is not a real phenomenon -- it is dreamstuff. You both create two ideal natures which are unreal and which cannot bear up long enough. The moment you start settling, reality starts asserting itself and problems arise. Now you are not alone -- the other is there.
The problem arises when you have to make concessions for the other and his reality, his way of being. In the beginning each lover is alone and the other is just like a screen onto which he goes on fantasising; the other is passive. But by and by you come close, you settle; the honeymoon is over. The other has to be real otherwise he will start feeling phoney, and when the reality comes, it is hard: then there is conflict. You would like her according to you, and she would like you according to her. . . and these are unconscious things.
So every love is, in a way, doomed. If it is love it is doomed, and the greater it is, the greater is the danger. If you have been on a very big flight, if you have moved really high, you will fall to the very bottom, to the very lowest point of your energy -- and then miseries and crying and weeping. In this state, if you become a little aware, if you see the whole thing a little aloof, as if it is not happening to you but to two characters. . . not to you -- and if you try to be a little detached, this painfull period will pass. You will never go to that height which was possible in a romantic moment, but that is not needed, because each high brings a low, and life has to settle somewhere in the middle, in a balance.
That's where, if love continues in spite of all the problems, it finally settles; a balance, a baseline, from where you start operating -- neither high nor low, a tranquillity, a stillness. Of course there is not going to be that excitement. If you hanker for excitement then love will never settle. You will go on changing lovers, because only the first part of the affair is beautiful. And if you go on changing you have more first parts, and whenever the second part starts, you escape. That's what is happening in the West.
You eat just the cookie -- but that is not nourishment. By and by if that becomes a habit, your whole being will be destroyed by it; it will destroy the whole appetite. One day or other, one has to come down from the flight, walk on the earth, be rooted in the earth, and let reality be there. We can have dreams sometimes, but one has to live with reality.
So this point is coming. And he is right not to take any decision; there is no need -- just watch the process. In fact the very witnessing of the process will give you a very very deep integrity. It will be more difficult for you because women are more emotional. Watching is more difficult for them. They cannot get aloof from themselves; they cannot make that distance. But if you can make it -- and it can be made -- the integrity that comes to a woman is deeper than when it comes to a man, because a woman is more earth-rooted. Once you spread your roots into the earth, a woman attains to a better balance than any man can ever attain.
Man is a wanderer. If you create too much trouble, it is very easy for a man to escape from you. In fact he will be thankful to you that you created so much trouble that he escaped; you created the situation and forced him to escape! Man is a wanderer; he would like to move to another woman.
So be a little more alert. If you feel like crying, weeping, cry and weep, but cry and weep alone; no need to burden him. He has not done any wrong to you, so why make him miserable? Let him face his own reality, and you face your own. Everybody has to come to encounter himself, and nobody can be there -- not even your lover. You have to be alone.
So just a little more awareness will be needed. Love alone cannot last long. Love plus awareness can become an eternal phenomenon. . . something so deep that even death cannot destroy it. But then you have to pass all these negative states. You have enjoyed the high; now you have to enjoy the low also! And don't try to escape from the low -- live it. That too is part of growth. And if you love each other then whatsoever happens, all helps finally; eventually it helps. These are all growth pangs, pains.
So this is all that I would like to say to you: that the mind would like to change or to live again and again in the same fantasy, and if the fantasy is not possible, then it would like you to change partners. This is how mind functions . . mind has no patience, so don't listen to it.
You have both changed partners enough; that is not going to help much. This time make awareness your concentration, rather than love, and love will follow.
And don't create unnecessary problems. If you can watch them, drop them -- good. If it is absolutely impossible to drop them, have a little fight, create a little trouble, but remain conscious. At least you can do one thing: when one is getting into it, the other can remain conscious. Make it a contract that when he gets deep into it, you have to be conscious; when you get into it, he has to be conscious. Help each other to be conscious.
In fact that is the greatest gift that love can give -- the gift of awareness.
And one more thing I would like to tell you is that in the beginning when two persons fall in love, they are interested in each other. Sooner or later that starts fading because you become known to each other.
You were curious to know each other because you were unknown territories. Sooner or later you become known territories -- the whole topography of the body and the mind is known; by and by one becomes acquainted. Then the problem arises of how to remain continuously interested in the other. Either you can pretend -- as in the whole world marriage goes on pretending, both partners knowing that it is not true and is humanly impossible. . . . And pretension is not good. Nothing destroys love more than pretension. Once two partners have decided to pretend, their love is already dead. So never pretend. Then what to do? If the interest is already fading and you don't pretend then nothing can be done about it. Create an interest which transcends you both.
In the beginning, lovers are interested in each other. If they really want to go on a journey deeper into love, they should become interested in something which is beyond both. In the beginning, lovers look into each other's eyes. That cannot continue forever. The day has to come when they look towards the moon together. Meeting at first is like meeting each other directly. By and by you meet each other indirectly.
You can see if two lovers are just at the beginning of their affair -- you will see them facing each other; they are still in the honeymoon phase of it. But if they have settled and the honeymoon phase is over, the excitement is gone, and they have become quiet, tranquil, you will not see them facing each other. They will be facing something else -- the moon, a flower. . . they may be listening to a poem. Something, a common ground, in which both are interested. This is now the way that they are interested in each other -- an indirect way.
So before the interest in each other fades, create indirect ways. Otherwise, this is my observation -- that many couples sooner or later are bored with each other.
First they are in ecstasy, then conflict. That too is good -- at least there is something to do. When that too is gone, then emptiness. . . just facing each other's emptiness. One becomes very much scared, afraid to death. Then they want something -- and if they don't create something in which they both can share, it will be difficult for them to be together. So the first phase is the phase of ecstasy, now of agony; and the third stage will be coming soon.
Before the third comes, be prepared! Move away from each other but together. If you can find a common goal, a common destiny, then you can love forever and forever, mm? Good! but in spite of everything, carry it to the very end.

Maneesha James - OSHO: EVERYDAY MEDITATION

Born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1947, Maneesha [formerly known as Juliet Forman] is a graduate in general nursing (Alfred Hospital, Melbourne), midwifery (Queen Victoria Hospital, Adelaide), and psychiatry (The Maudsley Hospital, London, UK).
She was involved in the Humanistic Growth Movement in England in the early 70's, then, en route home to Australia, she made a stopover in India. It was a detour that changed the entire course of her life: in October 1974 she met the enlightened master, Osho. She soon realized that she had found what unconsciously she had been searching for, and threw away her onward ticket, remaining in Pune for seven years. [Along with a detailed record of the growth of Osho's work, something of her personal story is recorded in a trilogy.]

Maneesha lived and worked in close proximity to Osho for the last fifteen years of his life. She was the "Guinea pig" in the early days when he was creating new meditation techniques, and an energy medium in his work with individual seekers. Maneesha was his personally appointed chief editor, a member of his emergency medical team, and the recorder of his work. Osho said of her, "I have found a better recorder than Ramakrishna has ever found in Vivekananda, or even Socrates has found in Plato... [She has] the special work of collecting my words, of editing my words. When we are all gone, Maneesha's collections will be remembered for centuries."

Over the past 20 years she has traveled internationally - visiting the US, the UK, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Turkey, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia - giving seminars, groups, and individual sessions on diverse aspects of meditation.
She says: "I'm passionate about meditation. It's such an amazing resource: it's known to improve immune system functioning, to promote longevity, greater intelligence, optimism, creativity, clarity, centering, awareness, empathy, and an increased sense of responsibility; flexibility, humor.... If there were a pill that delivered even a third of the benefits of meditation, we'd be downing them by the mouthful!"

The Last Taboo

We do anything to avoid the subject of death. It is the last taboo, the ultimate failure. But Maneesha James says there is a way to die with joy and with gratitude….
The scene: a bedroom in a house in Hampstead, London, circa 1982. An elderly woman, small and as fragile as a sparrow, lies curled up in sleep. In the stillness of the night I gaze, not for the first time, around the bedroom. The walls are covered with degrees, diplomas, citations and photographs.
One photo in particular draws me. My client, Anna – slim and longhaired as a youth – walks beside her bearded father in a big garden.
Now, her face, resting on the pillow, is framed by cropped, steel-grey hair. Her skin hangs in wrinkled folds on her frame, and each breath is laboured. Yet when we had first met some weeks ago – when she was still conscious and able to talk – she was clearly her own woman, even at 85 and bedridden. Feisty, with intelligent, smiling eyes, she was not remotely cowered by the indignity of being hospitalized.
It is a privilege to be involved in these very intimate, last moments of Anna Freud, youngest daughter of Sigmund Freud. She is chiefly renowned for inventing child analysis and for her many papers and books on work with children. Now she is dying. The experience of being at Anna Freud's death bed was to set me on a course that has led me to where I am today: using meditation as a way to help people enhance the quality of both their everyday living and of their dying.

My client died in the early hours of that morning and, by 4.00 a.m., I was back in my apartment.
I should have been sleepy, yet I found myself wanting to sit, with my eyes closed. Though I had been a meditator for some years, this time as I moved inwards I was immersed in an unknown energy. It was not my silence that engulfed me but another, descending on me from outside. Peaceful, certainly, but this was not the peace of the grave, of death. This was not the serenity of a "soul laid to rest." This was a presence – vital, joyful, dancing.
I was quite certain, in a way that I cannot explain, that Anna Freud's consciousness had visited me for those two hours in which I sat in meditation. I understood after her dying how intimate the connection is between meditation and death. I saw that if she (who, as far as I knew, was not a meditator) could leave in her wake such a profound silence, then the experience of death had great potential for someone who made their exit in the spirit of meditation.

Yet for the majority of those living in the West, influenced by the major Western religious traditions, death is the bogeyman, the fear that is the basis of all fears. When his patient is cut down by the "Grim Reaper," the doctor regards it as a personal defeat. Given our way, there would be no death, not ever. Once such a taboo, sex is now fed to us on television news hours and talk shows ad nauseam, but shuffling off our mortal coil is still not a subject to be brought up at the dinner table. Death is the last taboo. We spend our lives avoiding even the mention of it. Naturally, when we are finally face to face with our mortality, we are out for the count, literally terrified into unconsciousness.
Over the years, through my own experience and my work with hundreds of meditators, I know that any event is qualitatively different when we are truly present to it – aware and available, free of the mind's commentary, just experiencing immediately and directly. When we can inwardly step aside or witness all that we normally use to define ourselves – our body, thoughts, moods, all the changes inside and outside us – we enter the dimension of the vertical.
Rather than skimming along the surface of life as we do in the horizontal reality, when we live with awareness, we move right down into the belly of the moment. This is vertical living. We all know such times. They are not confined to formal periods of meditating. Making love, watching a sunrise, pottering in the garden, playing the piano or running: perhaps outwardly unremarkable, in those experiences time stops for us.
Submerged in a reality where there is no difference between us and other, we have dissolved the definition of our tiny self. Happiness itself is transcended, and we know pure "isness" … a state of simply being. If living consciously brings such experiences, why would it be different as we move towards death? And who is to say at what point we are no longer living but dying? In one respect, we started dying the day we were born. In another, according to the enlightened ones we never die but only change form. The person who lives consciously knows a way of being that can sustain him through the entire process of life and death, and perhaps beyond – wherever and whatever that may be.

I do not know if there is life after death.
But I do know there is life before death, and that we can live in such a way that when our time is up, we are ready. We have drunk of life with a totality that now allows us to greet death with dignity and grace. And let's remember, the elderly and those with cancer or AIDS, or any other life-challenging illness, do not have the monopoly on dying. None of us knows where we are standing in the queue. If we are going to ready ourselves for the event we call death, we need to do it now! Is it so bizarre an idea: to prepare to die?
Bizarre not to, when you come to think of it. After all, once we are born, the only fact that we can depend on is that we are going to die. So doesn't it make sense to ask: "If it is certain that I am going to die one day, is there anything at all I can do to make myself ready?" We are all pregnant with death. It is part of the parcel that goes with being born. Knowing that, do we want to go towards death kicking and screaming, or with joy… even gratitude? Do we want our death and that of those we love to be a trauma or a transformation? The choice is ours.

deva chahat Very Happy

This is interesting publication: Sannyas.org goes wiki

(Sannyas.org is a well-known website, which is going through a big change. It is being converted into a wiki allowing everybody to become an author and easily create new pages. The old big database of sannyasins will no longer be updated. Everything is moving to the wiki. Rudra the founder of sannyas.org talks about his ideas below.)

Question: We are curious about latest developments at sannyas.org, what's new?

Rudra: Sannyas.org is located in Western Australia and has been going for more than 10 years now. In that time it has grown too big to be manageable by just one person. So the Wiki is the perfect vehicle to hand the whole thing over to the public. What happens from here on is out of my hands.

The nice thing about a wiki is that it's open ended. There are tens (or hundreds?) of thousands of sannyasins worldwide and a wiki can accommodate them quite easily.

Question: What is the story of the sannyas.org project? Why did you decide to create it?

Rudra: The last time I sat with Osho he said to me "go and help my people" - "hmmm, nice one Osho !" I thought at the time. I spent a few years running Rebirthing groups and sessions. But after eight years of doing that it was time to do something else... had a Zorba the Buddha disco for a few years... then computers... internet... sannyas.org. The rest, as they say, is history.

Question: : You've started the WIKI part of the sannyas.org. Do you think wiki is easy enough for people?

Rudra: Yes and no. If you're happy with having a relatively simple page layout, wikis are easier to lay out than ordinary webpages. But to have a page with all the bells and whistles you still need to read too many instructions. The folks from WikiMedia are working on integrating a WYSIWIG (what you see is what you get) Editor, but that is still a few months away.

My suggestion is to just go for it and play around with the wiki. You really can't break anything!

Question: Do you have any other plans with sannyas.org?

Rudra: God no. The wiki is more than enough. It can become a platform for all sorts of things. Just have a look what they did with www.wikipedia.com!

If you do not have your page yet, create it right now: just go to www.sannyas.org, or directly to the wiki part, and follow instructions there.

- information for all Osho sannyassins! Wink
