OSHO VISION

Meditation is both a flowering --
A flowering of your consciousness
A flowering of your inner being --
And it is also humbleness because
In meditation the ego dies and disappears.
What is left is humbleness.

Meditation is a miracle,
In fact the only miracle
Because it transforms you totally from
An unconscious being into a conscious being
From machine to man and from man to superman.
And because the first thing that happens
In meditation is the death of the ego
Many things disappear from your life
Of their own accord: anger, greed, jealousy
Possessiveness -- they are all tentacles
Of the octopus called the ego.
Once the ego is dead
All these different expressions of it disappear.
Life becomes tremendously humble
And tremendously beautiful.

In humbleness the ultimate descends in you
In humbleness god knocks on your door
In humbleness you become the host
And god becomes the guest.
All that you have to do
Is go deeper into meditation, into awareness.
Shift your energy from mind to no-mind
From sound to silence
And the miracle will start happening.

Man remains just a rosebush without any roses
If there is no love. And a rosebush without roses
Is empty, is unfulfilled.
Its essential. most important, significant
Contribution to existence is missing.
It is impotent, it is frigid.
When the rosebush is full of roses there is joy
There is dance, there is celebration.

OSHO VISION

Seek and search for the truth.
Ofcourse when you find truth
You will find god -- but that is another matter!
That we can leave for the time being
We can put it aside, that happens on its own.
When you have found truth
You have found god too.
But those who start searching for god
From the very very beginning,
Are never going to find truth
And they are never going to find god either.
Their very first step has gone wrong.

So I am here to help you to enquire
But not to believe
Because I trust so much in truth that
There is no need to believe -- you can enquire
You can go deep in exploration
And you will find it.
The people who preach belief
Are the people who are not really trusting.
They are afraid that if people don't believe
Then they will become godless
They will become irreligious
They will become immoral.
These are cowards -- they don't know that
God does not exist, because you believe in him
God exists whether you believe in him or not.
So why believe? Enquire.
If he is there, you will discover him.
I know he is there, but that is my knowing
And my knowing cannot be your knowing.
And I have stumbled upon this knowing;
Through enquiry, not through belief.

So one has to be courageous enough
So drop all beliefs.
Go utterly empty and naked, open, available
With no prejudice for or against
And you are bound to find the truth
Whatsoever it is, x y z,
Right now it is x y z; ultimately it is god.
When you have arrived, then it is god
Not before that.

OSHO VISION

Today you are becoming god's own.
Up to now it has been only a name
Now it can be a reality.
All that is required on your part
Is to drop the ego -- that's the only hindrance
That keeps people away from god.
And the farther away you are
The more miserable you are.
My measuring a person's misery, the distance
Between him and god can be inferred.
As you come closer, misery starts disappearing.
When you really become god's own
There is no misery -- all is bliss and joy.

Make it a reality.
It is not difficult,
Just a little courage is needed
To let the ego drop.
And it is absolutely worthless
Hence any intelligent person can do it.
I don't teach any philosophy here
I only help you to be a little more intelligent
Because once you are a little more sharp
You can see it for yourself --
I need not say it to you.
You can see the utter futility of the ego
And in that very seeing it drops.
And that is the greatest moment in one's life
Because from there real life begins.

OSHO VISION

Everyone is appointed by God. Everyone is given a certain message which has to be fulfilled, although everybody has forgotten the message. Not only has the message been forgotten we have even forgotten the message-giver. We have forgotten that we are messengers, that we bring a seed of great potential into the world; that the world needs our contribution, that we have to bloom, that we have to release our fragrance. And unless we release our fragrance our life mission is unfulfilled. Once this is understood life starts taking on meaning. Then it is no more the same meaningless jumble of accidents. It starts becoming a rhythm, it starts having a sense of direction.

Sannyas is to give you a sense of direction, a togetherness, a rootedness, an awareness of what you are and what you can be. It is immensely significant to remember that sannyas is not a formality. It is not just a formal thing like being a Christian - because you were born in a Christian home; or a formal thing like being a Hindu.

Sannyas is exactly like when Jesus was on the earth, and a few people started walking with him started moving into danger with him; or when Buddha was on the earth and a few people gathered together around him and risked all! The same drama is being played here again.

You are fortunate to become part of it. Feel blessed. And then slowly slowly you will start remembering what the meaning is of being appointed by God, what the meaning is of every man bringing a message into the world. No man comes empty-handed but very few people ever deliver the message. Those who do are the buddhas, the awakened ones.

My effort here is to make thousands of Buddhas. Less than that won't do!

OSHO VISION

Every person is born with a divine voice
Although we never hear it.
It is a still small voice.
It is the voice of god.
But our heads are so full of other voices --
Voice of America...
And there are a thousand and one voices.
We can't hear the still small voice.
And in our heads all the stations are on
Simultaneously;
It is so noisy inside that even if god shouts
You won't hear.
And he never shouts, he whispers.

Love always whispers
Because to shout is a little violent.
Love knows to wait, hence god waits.
Love knows to hope, hence god hopes.
If not today, then tomorrow...
Some dau you are going to hear.

Sannyas is nothing but an effort
To make your noisy mind a little quieter
So that you can hear your own voice.
Once you have heard it your life is transfomed.
Then you don't need any Bible, any Gita, any Koran.
You have your own Bible, your own Gita
Your own Koran.
There is no need to depend on others.
There is no need to depend on borrowed knowledge.
So become more and more silent;
Less and less noisy so that you can hear
The whisper of god within you.

That's the beginning of a new life
Of a life that is eternal.

OSHO VISION

Man is not mortal, he only appears to be.
The appearance is because of the body.
The body is born and one day dies.
Whatsoever begins ends
But there is something within you
Which never begins and never ends.
That's your reality, that's your being.
It is immortal.
There is no way for it to die.
It can't commit suicide.
Death does not exist for it
Just as darkness does not exist for light.
The moment you know yourself
You know that there is no death.
And in knowing it one is freed from all fear
One is freed from all agony, anguish, anxiety.
Knowing this one knows 'I am part of god.'
And that is the ultimate realisation.
Without it there is no fulfilment, no flowering.
Life remains empty.

Be as wide as god himself.
Believe in no limitations, in no boundaries
In no adjectives:
Christian, Hindu, Mohammedan
Jewish, Indian, Chinese, Japanese.
Drop all limitations.
Feel more and more just a pure consciousness
And your horizons will become wider and wider.
A moment comes when you are as big as god himself
Because you are pure consciousness.
Pure consciousness is another name for god.

OSHO VISION

Resistance

Confusion is not your problem, but cleverness. Ignorance is not the problem. You think you know - that is your problem. I can help ignorant people, but I cannot help knowledgeable people -- they won't allow me. You resist me, you resist meditation, you resist everything. How can things be done? And you want things to be done.

It is as if you want the sun to come in but you don't open the door. You will not allow the doors or windows to be open -- and the sun cannot be aggressive, it cannot rape. If you allow and invite it, only then the sun comes in.

My energy is available to you only if you allow it. It is for you to take it or not to take it. If you decide not to take it, then nothing can be done. It is better you return home. Either decide to be here with me and drop this resistance, or you simply go back. Why waste time? Think about it for three days and decide either way. If you decide to be here, then drop all this nonsense.

And you know nothing. You just go on thinking that you know. So better be ignorant please. Or if you think that you know, and that everything is perfectly known to you, drop this ignorant man. Why be bothered with me?

OSHO VISION

Be true to yourself. One has to be responsible towards one's being.

Always listen to your own feelings - there is no need to look around. And by looking at people, you cannot see exactly what is happening to them, because their face is not their reality -- just as your face is not your reality. Their outside appearance is not their inner, just as your outside appearance is not your inner.

That is the whole hypocrisy of society - not to show your inner, your centre, your real face; hide it. Show it only to someone who is very intimate and who will understand. But who is intimate? Even lovers don't show their faces to each other. Because nobody knows - this minute somebody is a lover, next minute, maybe not. So each becomes like an island . . . closed.

Don't look at others. Look at yourself and let anger out - whatsoever the risk. There is no greater risk than suppression. If you suppress you will lose all zest for life, all enthusiasm. You will lose all life if you go on suppressing. It is toxic; it poisons the being.

Listen to the heart, and whatsoever is there, bring it out. Soon you will become efficient in bringing it and you will enjoy it. And once you know how to be true, it is so beautiful that you will never settle for being false. We go on deciding to be false because we have never tasted the real. From the very childhood the real was suppressed. Before a child becomes aware of what is real, he has been taught to suppress it. In unconscious ways, mechanical ways, he goes on suppressing without knowing what he is doing.

Be true to yourself - there is no other responsibility. One has to be responsible towards one's being. You are answerable to your own being, and God is not going

This is the whole problem - of how to be oneself. And if you can solve this, then every other problem becomes non-problematic. Then life is a beautiful mystery to be lived; not a problem to be solved, but just to be lived and enjoyed.

OSHO VISION

Man is also a flower
But we are absolutely unaware of our potential.
We are born as seeds, and unfortunately
We remain seeds. we never grow.
We never grow to the point
Where flowers can bloom in us.

To be a Buddha means to bloom as a flower
To release one's fragrance.
Remember, we are born as seeds.
But we should die as flowers.
Then life has been a beautiful experience
Then life has been
A journey of tremendous fulfilment.
Otherwise it is sheer wastage.

Meditation will help you to move
From the seed towards the flower.

We are not the body and we are not the mind.
We are pure consciousness
And pure consciousness is what god is.

Sannyas is a journey
From the body-mind to pure consciousness.
It is an inward pilgrimage
From the circumference to the centre.
When you reach your own centre
You are surprised:
You don't find yourself there at all
You find god himself.
He is not to be found anywhere else
He is just residing in you at your very centre
Waiting for you to come home.

OSHO VISION

Man is like a dewdrop
Existence is like the ocean
And we are trying to keep ourselves
Separate from it.
That is the root cause of our misery.

Only one thing is needed:
A jump into the ocean so the dewdrop disappears.
It does not really disappear
It only loses its small boundaries.
It becomes oceanic, it becomes the ocean itself.
But in a sense it disappears.
You cannot find it any more.
It loses its old identity
Its old nameplate and its old address.
It has become part of such vastness
That there is no way to find it.
It cannot stand out, that is the fear.
That's why we go on keeping ourselves
Away from the ocean.

Sannyas means an effort to gather courage
To disappear into the ocean.
And that day is the greatest day in life
When you die into the ultimate
Because then you become the ultimate.
It is not death, it is resurrection.
Time dies, eternity is born.
Finitude dies but infinity is born.
Smallness dies but greatness is born.
It is worth truing!

OSHO VISION

Truth is mysterious. It cannot be known, it is unknowable . . . not unknown but unknowable, because the unknown can be known some day, will be known some day, but truth can never be known. That’s its intrinsic quality. Remove one veil and you find another. Remove another and you find still more, and it goes on ad infinitum. There comes no point where you can say that the journey is finished; there comes no point where you can say that the boundary has been achieved. It is infinite.

The more you know, the more you know that knowledge is impossible. The more you know, the less you know. The more you know, the more mysterious life becomes. It is a mystery – the sun behind the sun behind the sun. You get through one mystery and you simply stumble into another, and the other is far deeper than the first. But that does not mean that one cannot live truth; one can live, one can be, but one cannot know. So the real seeker is not searching for what truth is; he is searching to find how to live it. That’s where faith comes in, trust comes in. Without knowing it you start living it first.

It is almost like a woman getting pregnant: she does not know how the pregnancy really happens, she does not know how the child is going to grow. She knows nothing about the mystery but the child is growing all the time and the woman becomes the mother. Not that she knows how life arrives, how it grows; she knows nothing. Exactly like that, one has to become a womb for truth. One just has to be feminine, open, and one day something penetrates. That penetration transforms you and you start living on a different plane; your quality changes, your attitudes change. The world remains the same, but it is no more the same because you are no more the same . . . . But you never know.

You can love truth. That is the meaning of faith: loving something that you have not seen, loving something that is not provable, loving something that is almost unbelievable, that in fact should not be if the world is logical, loving something which you feel but you cannot know.

Feeling is possible. Truth enters through the heart, not through the head.

OSHO VISION

Sannyas means to become consecrated to god
Surrendered to god.
Sannyas means allowing god to live through you.
You simply stand aside
You don't come in between, you don't hinder.
You open all the doors to the sun, to the moon
To the wind, to the rain
To all the messengers of god.
You are simply available to existence
With your whole heart
Without holding anything back.

In that very moment
When you are not holding anything back
Prayer has happened.
In that very moment the ego is no more
The barrier has fallen
And suddenly we are one with the whole.
And to be one with the whole
Is bliss, is benediction.

To remain separate form the whole is misery
Because it is not according to nature
It is not according to the fundamental law.
It is not true -- that's why it creates misery.
When we are one with the whole
We have accepted the truth and dropped the lie.
To be true
Is enough to bring tremendous bliss to you.

OSHO VISION

Love has many qualities which are also the qualities of a cloud. Hence the cloud can be used as a metaphor. The most fundamental quality of love is that it gives freedom; it is freedom. If it is not freedom then it is not love; it is something else -- beware of it! Something else is masquerading as love. It may even be hatred pretending to be love. It may be jealousy, possessiveness, domination, ego -- it may be any thing, but not love. The criterion to be used is freedom; if it gives you freedom, then only is it love.

Love makes you free. The more you love, the more you are free. Ultimately you have the freedom of a cloud. The cloud is totally free, it has no fixed form, it is constantly changing, it is unpredictable. One moment it looks like an elephant, another moment it looks like a tiger; one never knows. One moment it is moving towards the east, another moment it is moving towards the west. It is absolutely free, it is not rooted somewhere. It has no roots in the earth, hence it has no clinging, it is not attached; it is not obsessed with anything.

Love is also just like that: without any roots without any clinging; floating like a cloud in absolute freedom.

The cloud is full of rain: it wants to share, it wants to rain. And that's what love is too: it is full of joy, peace, and it wants to shower it. It is full of juice and it wants to rain. And to whomsoever is ready to receive love is over-willing to give. It does not feel that the person who receives has any obligation towards it. No, not at all. On the contrary, love feels obliged. that the other helped it to be unburdened. The cloud feels obliged to the earth because the earth helped it to be unburdened. Love is always feeling obliged to everybody. And love never bothers much about whether the other is worthy of receiving it or not. These are miserly things, miserly attitudes. Love is never a miser.

The cloud never bothers about whether the earth is worthy. It rains on the mountains, it rains on the rocks; it rains everywhere and anywhere. It gives without any conditions attached, without any strings attached.

And that's how love is: it simply gives, it enjoys giving. Whosoever is willing to receive, receives it. He need not be worthy, he need not be in any special category, he need not fulfill any qualifications. If all these things are required then what you are giving is not love. It must be something else, and you have not yet known what love is. Once you know what love is you are ready to give; because you know the more you give, the more you have it. The more you go on showering on others, the more it goes on springing up in your being. Once this secret is known...

This is very strange economics. Ordinary economics is totally different: if you give something, you lose it. If you want to have it, avoid giving it. Collect it, be miserly. Just the opposite is the case with love: if you want to have it, don't be miserly; otherwise it will go dead, it will become stale; it will stink, it will die. Go on giving, and fresh sources will become available Fresh streams will flow into your being. The whole existence starts pouring into you when your giving is unconditional, total.

Meditation
Is the only anchor in the ocean of life.
Without it one is always just driftwood.
With meditation you are anchored.
You can stay centred
And you can choose your direction.

With meditation
You start becoming a master of yourself.
Without meditation
You are at the mercy of unconscious forces.
That's how millions of people go on living:
Victims of the winds. They don't know
Where they are going, why they are going
It is just that the wind
Is blowing in that direction.

Meditation is the most essential thing in life.
It is food, nourishment for the soul.
Without it man is without a soul.

Devote your energies more and more
Towards getting deeper into meditation.
And by meditation I simply mean awareness.
A three-dimensional awareness is needed
First, you have to be aware of your actions
Second, you have to be aware of your thoughts
Third, you have to be aware
Of your Emotions, feelings.

Once you become aware of these three dimensions
The fourth awareness happens on its own.
Once these three awarenesses are there
You become aware of your being
You need not make any effort for that.
You just prepare the ground
By being aware of these three things
And the fourth comes as a gift from god.

OSHO VISION

True religion
Is a devotion towards life and existence.
Remember it: in every leaf of grass is god.
It is his gesture.
In thousand of moods and in thousands of gestures
He is dancing all over.
He is dancing within you and without you.
Hence I teach my sannyasins to dance
And to dance with such abundance
That you are lost in it.
That will give you the first taste
Of what it is to have a meeting with god
To have a date with god.

My sannyas is not to be serious
It is not to be sad.
My sannyas has to be a song, a celebration
A rejoicing in life.
I don't teach renunciation because to me
God is life, and if you cannot find him in life
You will not find him anywhere else.
God is not to be found in the monasteries
Or in Himalayan caves;
He is to be found in life
In all kinds of situations
Which one has to encounter in life.
God has to be found in all
The bitter experiences and the sweet experiences
That life makes available to you;
In the days, in the nights
In the summers, in the winters
In the thorns, in the flowers.
God has to be found here in the thick of life.

Sannyas is not a religion.
It is not a church, it is not a sect.
It is not an effort to force you
According to some pattern.
It is just to help you to be totally free
So that you can be yourself.

My effort here is
To give you a taste of freedom.
Once you have tasted freedom
Nobody can enslave you.
And the politicians and the priests
Are all for enslaving people.
They don't want people who are intelligent
People who are free, people who are rebels.
They want slaves because slaves can be
Exploited easily, oppressed easily,
Manipulated easily, dominated easily.

And I am creating fire here!
Each of my sannyasin has to prove a danger
To all the old rotten structures of society.
Each sannyasin has to be a sabotage.
That's why I have chosen
The colour of fire for sannyas.
And we have to make so many sannyasins
That they cannot manage so many fire brigades!
Sannyas is a rebellion against all conventions
Against all conformities, against all ideologies
Against all traditions,
In short against the whole past.

Unless one gets rid of the past
One is never available to the present
And only the present exists
And only in the present can god be found,
Not in the past, not in the future either.
Both are non-existential.
Past is no more, future is not yet.
This moment, this now is all there is.

We are all forms of god.
Everything is a form of god
Because nothing else exists.
God and existence are synonymous,
Remember it.
Looking at a tree remind yourself
That you are looking at a god.
Looking at a mountain remind yourself.
Even looking at a dog remind yourself.
Maybe the dog is god a little bit upside down
But the energy is the same
It is one energy.
And the more you remind yourself
The more you will start feeling it.
It is only a question of constant hammering.
And one day when it explodes one is surprised
Utterly surprised that one has been living
Amidst so many forms of god
And yet missing him.

There is no need to go anywhere to search for him
He is all around you.
He is within
He is without.
Make it your meditation.

My work here is to make you aware
Of what is real in you and what is unreal in you
What is essential in you
And what is accidental in you.
Once you are aware
Of the essential and the non-essential
Then the non-essential can be dropped easily.
There is no problem.
In fact the moment you know
That it is non-essential
It drops of its own accord.
The very seeing becomes a transformation.
The very understanding brings its own revolution.
There is no revolution apart from understanding.
Everybody comes here as a semi-precious jewel
And we start hammering and cutting.
The work is hard in the beginning.
It hurts too, it is painful.
But if you are ready to go through the process
One day only that which is real
That which is eternal will be left
And all else will disappear.
That day you have discovered yourself.
And the whole life
Is nothing but a pilgrimage to self-discovery.
In discovering oneself one discovers bliss
One discovers truth, one discovers beauty.
One discovers all the splendours
And the glories of existence.
And ultimately one discovers god.

Life is a great art.
One should not take life for granted.
Birth is not synonymous with life
Birth is only an opportunity
Then you have to work upon yourself.
There are a thousand and one things
To be dropped greed is there, anger is there,
Hatred is there, lust is there
And so on, so forth.
And unless these things are dropped
Unless they are removed from our being...
These are like weeds
And we are so full of these weeds
That we cannot grow roses in our being.
We have to take out, uproot all the weeds
We have to change the whole soil
We have to remove all the stones
We have to prepare the ground
Only then are roses possible.

And when roses grow in your being
Your life starts having joy
Your life starts having beauty
Your life starts having grace.
And then you have something to offer to god
Otherwise what is there to offer?

My sannyasins have to become songs.
They have to learn playfulness
Light-heartedness, a sense of humour.
And they have to learn how to rejoice
In the small things of life.

There are no great things in life
Life consists of small things.
But if you know how to rejoice in them
You transform them into great things.

In the hands of a Buddha
Even ordinary water becomes wine.
That's exactly the meaning of the miracle
That is said to have been done by Jesus:
That he turned water into wine.
Only fools think that it is literally true.
It is symbolically true.

In the hands of Jesus water is wine.
You can get drunk on simple, pure water.
It depends on how you drink.
It does not depend on the drink
It depends on the drinker.
And I am telling you from my experience.
I don't mix soda and whisky
I mix soda and soda - and it works!
