Osho
... just a question of a few hours." And Buddha died at exactly the time Mahakashyap had said. The man from Vaishali had asked Buddha, "Why were you telling Mahakashyap not to say it?" Buddha said, "I know I am going to die, he also knows - but he is so one with me, it makes no difference to him whether I am alive or dead. But to you, my death will make your journey home unnecessarily...
..., pleasure, pain, anxiety, anguish or an animal-type contentment, the buffalo contentment - but the buffalo is not in meditation. You are right when you say the mind creates its own world; it projects itself upon objects. The same object can be a beloved, a friend, or a foe. You can die for the same person, you can kill the same person too. You can desire riches, power, prestige, respectability; you can...
... poverty... it is simply a test of your trust. And blessed are those who pass the test joyfully, without any complaint - theirs is the kingdom of God. Ten thousand years of all kinds of inhuman living - humiliation, slavery, poverty, death, starvation - but in ten thousand years not a single voice for revolution, that we should change this whole structure, this whole society. The vested interests are...
... will be coming to Vaishali." Mahakashyap was sitting there. He said, "Don't believe him. He is not going to live long. As far as I am concerned, he is going to die within two days." Such empathy... it is not sympathy. In empathy you start feeling the same, exactly the same - as if one soul in two bodies. Buddha looked at Mahakashyap and said, "This is not right. You should not say...
... such things." Mahakashyap said, "But why unnecessarily give a promise that you are not going to fulfill?" The man from Vaishali said, "Strange... Buddha is saying, 'I am coming' and you are saying that he will not come. And you start arguing with each other!" Mahakashyap said, "He is going to die the day after tomorrow, and if you don't believe me, remain here. It is...
... great disciples of Buddha, but nobody has the distinction of being a devotee except Mahakashyap. His death proved it - while everybody was just preparing the funeral pyre, people were weeping and crying, Mahakashyap closed his eyes and was gone. Devotion is the ultimate state of disciplehood - when you become one with the master, when the dewdrop slips into the ocean and becomes one with it. Question...
... need to die with me! Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... that is your fear. You have completely forgotten yourself; you have become the mind. The identification is complete. So when I say, "Be silent. Be still. Be alert and watchful of your thought processes," you freak out, you become afraid. It looks like death. In a way you are right but it is not your death, it is the death of your conditionings. Combined they are called your mind. And once...
... space. It is an individual phenomenon - with no organizations, no unity. You have nothing to lose. You don't have individuality - you can get it through meditation. You don't have freedom - because your mind is your slavery. You can get freedom if you can put your mind aside. You are full of fear. Fear is basically connected with death. If you meditate and know yourself, you know there is no death...
.... Death has never happened. It is one of the most illusory things. It only appears to others, from the outside, that somebody has died - but from the inside nobody ever dies. And meditation takes you to your innermost core. Knowing it, all fear disappears. Knowing it, all greed disappears - because you cannot have a bigger treasure than you have found within yourself. The whole world and its empire is...
... the color of the clothes of their monks, because pale is the color of death. When fall comes and trees become nude, their leaves become pale and they start falling and there are only branches. That paleness is like when a man is dying and his face becomes pale. He is dying - already the process of death has set in, and within minutes he will be dead. Then if you cut his skin you will not find blood...
... you say." But he always rejected. He seemed to be absolutely without any compassion. There was just one young boy who used to cook food for him, bring things from the village nearby. When the day of his death came, he called the boy and said, "Go into the village and tell everybody that whoever wants to become my disciple should come immediately." The boy said, "Whoever? But you...
... the rocks and will never grow. And some will fall on the footpaths where people walk continually: they will grow, but they will die. But some seeds will certainly find the right soil. And they will come to blossom, and they will bring thousands of seeds with them. Don't waste your time, because nobody knows who is worthy and who is not worthy - murderers have become saints, criminals have become...
... technically right; and my understanding is that anybody who tries to be perfect in anything is bound to go insane. Perfection is not allowed by existence. Existence loves imperfection, because imperfection has the possibility of evolution. Perfection means death. The moment you are perfect, there is no possibility of any evolution. This is something to be remembered: On the spiritual path, nobody ever...
..., 'I am a brave man.' I have accepted that I am a coward." I said, "If you had accepted it before, this tragedy would have been avoided." Everybody is afraid. It is not that you are afraid of something, you are simply afraid. Perhaps it is a deep-down fear of death in the very depths of your unconsciousness that surfaces as fear. And you try to control your life. In this controlling...
... disappear, will evaporate. Once your unconscious is clean, unrepressed, you will have a dignity that you have never known, you will have a pride of being human, of being an individual, that you have never known. You will have a joy, because now there is no fear, not even the fear of death; you are aware of something eternal running like an undercurrent in your consciousness. That eternal, that immortal is...
... your real self, is your reality. To know it, is to know all. Not to know it, you can be burdened with all the knowledge of the world, but still you are ignorant, because deep inside you, there is nothing but darkness - and in darkness, only death is hidden. Your witness will bring light, and when you have looked into every nook and corner of your being, you will be surprised: there is nothing to be...
... afraid of - not even death, because death is a lie; it has never happened. Life never dies, it only changes forms and goes on and on until it recognizes itself as totally awakened. It goes on taking new forms; once it is fully awakened, enlightened, it merges with the universe, with the whole. That merger is the greatest ecstasy man has known. There is nothing higher than that, there is nothing deeper...
... famous - a Nobel Prize winner or something - that you are not to die just an ordinary man. To die just an ordinary man is ugly; you have to die like a president or a prime minister - as if their death has something special! Because of this constant hammering on your head you have become so much accustomed to the idea that it is driving you crazy. Otherwise, life is so beautiful as it is; no purpose, no...
... question of success at all. It is just a conditioning by the society that creates the problem in you. And then you start thinking, "I am not reaching anywhere, and life is slipping out of my hands and death is coming closer. Am I going to make it or not?" And then there is great fear of missing, frustration that so much is lost. And who knows? - tomorrow may never arrive. "I have not yet...
... whenever you are in love, in compassion, you are in heaven. So you can move from heaven to hell many times in a day. It is not a question to be decided after death; it is to be decided each moment. And it is absolutely within your capacity to decide. One Sufi mystic was dying. His disciples had gathered and they said, "One thing we want to know. You are departing forever and then we will never know...
... difference does it make in eternity? It does not make any difference to YOU because you know eternity, but for those poor people who live in time it makes much difference. For many many lives they will be suffering. For you it makes no difference - you have entered eternity - but they are living in time, and time means birth, death and the wheel of birth and death. And they will have to go on the wheel, in...
...;Forget about purchasing the painting! It seems my brother has sent you, so take this money back. It is better to die without selling a painting!" And the same day he committed suicide - it was enough. He painted nearabout one thousand paintings; eight hundred paintings have been lost because people never cared about them. When his paintings started becoming famous after his death, people started...
... it is going to become a flower - it may die as a seed. If you put it on a rock it will not sprout into a bush, into a flowering tree, it will die. If you throw it into fire it Will die. Sex has the potential of love, but only the potential, remember; it is the seed. There is no need to deny it because if you throw away the seed, if you deny the seed, then love disappears. That's why in the so...
... wrong. But that's how the mind is: it always goes from the frying pan to the fire! It cannot stay in the middle, because to stay in the middle is the death of the mind. That's what I call meditation: if you can stay exactly in the middle, the clock stops. If the pendulum stays in the middle, if you hold the pendulum in the middle, the clock stops. And if you hold yourself exactly in the middle, if you...
... the names of Al-Hillaj Mansur and Sarmad, whom they themselves destroyed. People are very slow to understand. Recently a letter of Gauguin's sold for over five thousand dollars. In it the painter complained of his poverty, that he was starving to death. Now the letter is sold for five thousand dollars, and in the letter the painter is complaining that he is starving - starving to death! People are...
... these three bodies - the awake, the dreaming, the deep sleep; the gross, the subtle, and the causal - if you can feel, realize, know that you are beyond these three, only then this vicious circle of life and death ceases, and you gain freedom, and you gain bliss. What to do? How to be aware beyond these three bodies? The technique that can make you aware, that can make you transcend, that can create a...
... aware of the first, then you are at the door of the second. If you become aware of the second, then you are at the door of the third. If you become aware of the third, then you are at the door of the fourth. Without experiencing the first, all else is just inconceivable. Lastly, if you transcend all these three bodies, then there is no birth again, and of course, no death. The whole dimension changes...
.... You begin to move in a different dimension: the dimension of the eternal, the dimension of the non-temporal, the dimension of timelessness. Then you are not moving in time from one birth to another death, then again death, and again birth. No; now you move from the circle of time to the ocean of timelessness. In this timelessness is the authentic, existence, the ground of existence, the ground of...
... thing is also possible. There are a few compositions in the world which can hit the hara and a person can die immediately. It makes people so silent that even life starts disappearing, because life is also a tension. Death is absolutely non-tense. Only death is absolute relaxation. Life cannot be absolute relaxation. It can be, at the most, relative - more or less tense, but it will remain tense. So...
... another sannyasin Osho said to bear three things in mind on returning to the West. First he said that when the fear of death came - and it was going to come soon - he should go into it and not be afraid, because this barrier had to be passed by every meditator... ] And the second thing. I am always available to you wherever you are, so have a small room in the house - a very small room will do - and...
... energy, inexhaustible energy that you were not aware of. For the first time you know that death will happen only to the body, to the mind, to the heart, but not to you. You are eternal. You have always been here, and you will always be here - in different forms, and ultimately in a state of formlessness. But you cannot be destroyed, you are indestructible. That takes all fear from you. And the...
... immortality is a great freedom - from death, from disease, from old age. All those things will come and go, but you remain untouched, unscratched. Your inner health is beyond any sickness. And it is there, just to be discovered. Question 3: BELOVED MASTER, COULD RELIGIO BE TERMED AS NEO-EDUCATION? PLEASE COMMENT. No, because education is something very ordinary. Religio will remain religio. It cannot be...
... have any function to perform - marriage, birth of a child, circumcision, death, no. Any friend, any sannyasin can do all these things. So there is no question of clergymen. In fact, it is a question of friends. Somebody dies... then those who were close to him, they should perform the death ceremony. The clergyman may not have even known the person; he will simply repeat a certain ritual. It is...
... this is treating the child like an old Ford - you have to push from the back for half a mile, then it starts. This is stupid. Yes, it is done quickly. It is in favor of the doctor, but not in favor of the child, because he has not started breathing on his own and you have cut the cord. You have created such a great fear of death that it will follow the child his whole life. First wait - and it is not...
... are the people who will become enlightened before my death. The second group is the sambuddhas, who are already enlightened, but because I am here, they will remain anonymous just out of their gratitude. The third group is the bodhisattvas, who will become enlightened before their death. So I have chosen names for these groups, and I have directed the groups about their numbers - that these numbers...
.... And to be a puppet in the hands of somebody like Nixon is to be nothing but a criminal. But because he became president for two years he started thinking that now he could be elected - and he could not be elected, he had no guts. I have seen a few of his pictures when some attempts on his life were made. You can see by his face ... I have never seen anybody so afraid. He is so much afraid of death...
... have holy books, they don't have universities, they don't have libraries - how can they be called cultured, how can they be called civilized? But they are immensely contented. I have lived with these people and I have never heard them complain about anything. They have no problems as such. They accept life as it comes, and they enjoy it as much as they can. They live joyously, they die joyously...
... - without any fear in life nor any fear about what will happen after death. They don't care, there is no energy for all these things. Yes, they don't produce a George Bernard Shaw. Their life itself is such a beautiful drama, there is no need for a George Bernard Shaw. George Bernard Shaw himself was not a happy man. He may have written great dramas; his life itself was very poor. The woman he wanted to...
... inherit my whole property, so be careful." He went on the pilgrimage. The first son thought, "This is a strange test. If he comes after three years ... these seeds will simply die, and he will ask for the living seeds. So the best way is to sell them in the market, keep the money, and when he comes back purchase new seeds again - fresh, young." Very economical, mathematical - he did that...
... which has become nuclear energy. When it comes out of meditation, overflowing love, it will be creative science - a totally different science which we are not even aware of. This whole scientific project has to be dropped because it is bringing you closer and closer to death. Anything that goes against sex will bring death closer to you, because sex is life. You see paintings by Picasso. Looking at...
... about your dancers, jazz music - do you think it is music? Music has some spiritual quality to it; jazz is simply insanity. But repressed sexuality is bound to produce these developments. Jean-Paul Sartre or Marcel or Jaspers - great writers, but what are they writing? They are writing about the meaninglessness of life; that life is accidental, that it does not matter whether you live or you die, it...
... other need. He wants to be transformed by the master - and that can happen only if he is caught. But he is afraid of many things. He will lose his ego, his identity; he will lose his individuality: he will no longer be himself. The moment he is caught looks like a death; hence there is fear. He wants, desires to be caught because he can see the beauty of the master - his light, his newly-achieved...
... cannot escape. They don't allow you freedom even after you are dead. They start from birth, and they continue to keep a hold on you through marriage till death comes over you. Everything happens in the church: the baptism of the child, the circumcision of the child, the marriage, the death. Finally, the last sermon over the dead body is to be given by the priest. The old religions don't give you any...
... don't eat. They would rather die, but they will not eat grass. He used to eat grass - he remained vegetarian. He used to go into the crowd, just in the middle, to be safe, although he was taller, bigger, but without any idea of it. And he never roared once like a lion, because if you don't have that idea, how can you roar? He dreamed like a sheep, feared like a sheep, was afraid of wild animals who...
... willing to go, he was very reluctant. And he was more powerful than the old lion. If the young lion had known that he was a lion, the old lion would not have been able to pull him to the pond; he would have killed him. But he was a sheep, so he allowed the old lion to pull him - although reluctantly, unwillingly, resisting - knowing that this was sure death, because many sheep had died, had been killed...
... value, when the disciple simply stops and wants to be caught. He has come to a very decisive moment. If it means to die as an ego, as a personality, he is ready. He wants to know whether there is anything behind the facade of personality, or nothing. He is ready to accept it even if there is nothing. The moment he is ready to accept even that, then there is no problem. If he is ready to die, then he...
