... project; it is special and unique. Not for a single moment has the Indian consciousness wavered from its search. It has sacrificed everything for it; it has sacrificed itself for it. It has suffered slavery, poverty, sickness, death - but it has not accepted defeat in the search. And the search is so ancient, it has gone into the very blood and bones and marrow of the people of this land. They may not...
... is better to die than to surrender. His whole education is nursing the ego in the name of individuality. And this is simply a deception, because individuality is a totally different phenomenon - it has nothing to do with ego. In fact, the more ego you have, the less individuality you will have. If you are full of the ego, there is no space for individuality. The ego is afraid to bow down. The...
... individuality is not afraid, because the individuality feels enriched - it loses nothing, it gains. Flowers of blessings shower on it; it feels a newness, a coolness, a silence descending upon it. But for the ego, it is death. For the individuality, it is becoming really alive. The West has been deceived by its religions, by its educators, by its politicians to believe that "Ego is your individuality...
...? Now there is no challenge, nothing to explore, nowhere to go. Everything is finished; it is simply death." He became so afraid that he took his shoes off his feet so that no noise would be made, because who knows? - just a noise on the steps and God might open the door... although he had not knocked. And God will say, "Where are you going? Come in." And then he ran away. And in the...
..., is available to me. I don't look in that direction and I am not going to enter that house." His poem has a tremendous insight. There is no end, because every end will be death. And life knows no death; it goes on and on and on. So this is simply a preparation; it is always a preparation for a new journey. You can have a little rest, but remember: It is just an overnight stay in a caravanserai...
.... Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. Question 1: BELOVED OSHO, WAS RABINDRINATH'S LONGING, HIS CREATIVE ANGST, THE VERY THING THAT IN THE END BECAME AN OBSTACLE TO HIS ENLIGHTENMENT? AM I ALSO DESTINED TO DIE WITH TEARS IN MY EYES, AND A POCKET FULL OF SONGS? Milarepa, a poet is not in search of truth. His search is for beauty, and through the search for beauty nobody has ever become enlightened. One...
... the artist is expression; the concern of the seeker is experience. Neither of them is able to express, but because the seeker of truth is totally concerned with experiencing, he comes to enlightenment, and he can die with a smile on his face, with fulfillment, whether he has been able to say something about it or not - that is not his concern, that is not his angst, his anxiety. The artist also...
..., have felt an immense failure. They have tried their best, and they have produced great pieces of art - for us they are great pieces of art, but for them they are faraway echos of their experience. Hence, they die either mad.... Almost seventy percent of painters, dancers, poets have gone mad. They have made too much effort. They have put too much tension into their being, so that it brought a...
... truth that a great responsibility has fallen on your shoulders: you have to change the ordinary morality into a spiritual code, and you have to change subjective art into objective art. This will be the new expression of the contemporary mystic, and it will make a new breakthrough for the future. Milarepa, you are asking, "Am I also destined to die with tears in my eyes, and a pocket full of...
... songs?" If you remain interested only in songs and music, you will die with tears in your eyes, and those tears will not be of joy. Let your search be for the truth, and only on the margin go on practicing your music, composing your songs; so when you reach to your enlightenment you are articulate enough to bring beauty to expression. Then you can go laughing, fulfilled, without any tears...
... the watcher should remain there; it should not fall asleep. And the dawn is sure to come - then too you have to watch. Night or day, suffering or blissfulness, life or death, you remain just the watcher. It needs no effort; it is simply remaining alert. And I think that, in darkness, you will be more alert than in light. You can try it: go into the forest in the middle of the night, and then try to...
... moment, because he can see the possibility of what I am saying: that there is not going to be any war, because you cannot convince five billion people to die for no purpose. Gorbachev has made history by taking the step single- handedly, but America is still piling up.... The American masses should rise up in a rebellious uproar against their own government, because now even Ronald Reagan cannot say...
... destroying human life. All the intelligent people of the world should protest against this American fascist attitude, and force America to stop bringing death to this beautiful planet. And I think, as the century comes to its end, there is bound to be a great protest from all over the world. America has to be put right -- it is already late! I am reminded of George Gurdjieff. He used to say laughingly that...
... comes to a place where you have to choose between death or a new style of life, I am absolutely certain you will choose the new style of life rather than the old well-acquainted death. Yes Chidananda, there is no god, and man is going to be responsible for whatever he chooses. And I trust in the deepest longing of everybody: it is for life, it is for love, it is for joy, it is for song, it is for...
... flowers, it is for dances. It is for love. Man cannot choose a global death. It is an impossibility. Yes, the old world will come to an end; Nostradamus is not going to be wrong. But his interpreters are all wrong. My interpretation is: The death of the old is the birth of the new. A man down on his luck goes home to his wife and tells her, "Look dear, we are running out of money and we are gonna...
... discovered great things about matter, but what about himself? He knows nothing at all. He has never even thought that there is another universe waiting to be explored - and it is the real universe. The outer will be lost with your death, but the inner will continue. The inner is your ultimate pilgrimage. Hence it is right to call it the great matter - the great and ultimate concern. This is the most...
...-nine percent will still be distant. You have to be a hundred percent here and now at the very center of your being, and suddenly there arises within you a new, fresh, eternal consciousness that knows nothing of pain, nothing of death; it knows no beginning and no end. Your potential has blossomed into a lotus. You must have seen Gautam Buddha's statues: he is sitting on a lotus. That lotus is...
... the old man out of great Catholic mercy, and said, "Remember God, his only begotten son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost." The Jew opened his eyes and said, "At least at the time of my death, don't give me any riddle. Death is enough - now don't torture me with riddles. God, the only begotten son, and the Holy Ghost ...?" But the priest said, "You were praying - I saw your...
... miserable, because always you want more, and life is fleeting. Moment to moment, death is coming closer, and you have not achieved your goal. Outside there is nothing but misery. We can try to put on masks, we can try to smile, but in fact we want to weep. Friedrich Nietzsche has written exactly that sentence: "Don't be fooled by my smiles; I smile only when I want to hide my tears. I don't want to...
.... Completely die, as far as your body and mind is concerned. Just feel the beyond; it is your home. This beyond opens the lotus of your being. This beyond makes you a buddha. In a lightning moment, suddenly you are no more ordinary - you have become a sacred mountain. Simultaneously at the top of a great mountain and in the depths of a great ocean ... where these two meet, this is your very center. This is...
... Sutra, rather Upset the Sutra Yourself Chapter #: 27 Location: pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Archive Code: N.A. Short Title: N.A. Audio Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. Anand Terry. Anand means bliss, terry means wealth and peace. Bliss is both. It is wealth, the real wealth, wealth that cannot be stolen; not even death can take it away. And it is peace, it is ultimate peace...
... from the beyond - not that you bring it, but when it comes, showers on you, slowly slowly penetrates and permeates your whole being - you are transformed, you are no more the same person. The old is gone and gone forever. The new has come, and the new knows no death, the new is eternal. Prem Samadhi. Prem means love; samadhi means ecstasy. The true way to ecstasy is love; all other ways are false...
.... Love is the only bridge between man and God. Except love nothing else is needed, but to create love one has to die: one has to die as an ego, one has to disappear as a separate entity. One has to merge and melt with existence. Just as a river disappears in the ocean, in the same way one has to learn how not to be. That's the whole art of love: how not to be. But the paradox is that if you know how...
... only two ways to live life. One is the way of the politician who tries to conquer others. That arises out of inferiority, all politics arises out of inferiority complex. That is not the way of the really superior man. The real, superior man conquers himself; that is the way of religion. To know others is not of much worth, because death will take all that know-ledge away. There is only one thing...
... death cannot take away from you - that is self-knowledge. And by conquering oneself that light arises in oneself in which one knows who one is. Anand means bliss, jamia means god. Bliss is the very core of god's existence. It is not a quality among many qualities - it is his very heart, the spirit. So a man who is really in search of god should be in search of bliss. One can forget about god and if...
... means the in-dwelling spirit. The full name will mean the in-dwelling spirit of love. Love is our very soul. The body lives through breathing; the soul lives through love. Just as the body will die immediately if breathing stops, the soul dies if love stops. And millions of people in the world are soul-less, because love has not happened. They live like bodies, machines. They are zombies, robots...
..., functioning perfectly well, efficient, doing everything as is needed. They do all kinds of things and then one day they die, and without having lived at all, because to live the soul is needed, and that is missing. Love creates it. It is in the soil of love that the soul arrives. So those who really want to become soulful, godful, have to learn the art of love, and that is the greatest of arts, all other...
... brings something surprising. And that's how one should live - because security means you have already died before your death. Look at experts - famous, world-famous experts - you will always see that their eyes are dull and dead and that their faces have no glow. They go on doing things like robots. If they are replaced by a robot they will not be missed - they were just mechanical. So don't become...
... visions, new doors, windows, into it - new spaces can be opened. Always remember this impulse - this will come again and again - and always trust it: it is your life! It is life saying to you that this habit is too dead now - either leave it or life will leave you. A really authentic man goes on changing; that's why a really authentic man can never be consistent. Consistency belongs to death, not to...
... and it is paying you well, things are settled, why bother? Your mind will say this. Never listen to the mind, the mind is in the service of death. If you listen to the mind it will say, 'Better that you commit suicide - then you will be perfectly safe. Life is dangerous, accidents are possible if you are alive. If you are dead, resting in your grave, there is no fear, no accident is possible. Today...
... you have name and fame and prestige - who knows about tomorrow? So it is better to die and your name and fame will always be there. If you are alive you may destroy something, things may go wrong.' The mind is in the service of the past, and this impulse that is arising in you is in the service of the future. So there will be a conflict - but always trust this small, still voice within you. This is...
... this-worldly, because my own experience is that the other world is hidden in this world, that the other world is not transcendental to this but is immanent in it, that this world is the way to the other world, that the other world is nothing but the death of the same world, this world. This contains that. So I am not saying to be blissful after death. When I say "Be blissful," I mean right...
....] It means divine light, the divine sun, the source of all light. Existence consists of light and nothing else. And the moment you know, there is delight; the moment you understand that all is light and there is no darkness, in the same moment you know that there is no death either, because death is darkness and light is eternal. The mystics have always come to one conclusion, that our innermost core...
... to disappear. It is a tremendously orgasmic experience, where all dualities disappear into oneness - that oneness is God. That's why no image can be made; no image is possible. And no word can contain... no description is possible, no definition either, because the experience is of such oneness, where night and day meet, where death and life meet, where summer and winter dissolve into each other...
...; there is no shortcut. And experiencing is arduous - it demands much of you; that's why millions of people have decided to live without love. Although they live in poverty, spiritual poverty, and they suffer, they are not daring enough to go into the experience of love because the demand is great. The basic demand of love is: Die! Die as you are, as an ego - commit suicide as an ego! That is the demand...
... of love, and very few courageous people are ready to risk that much. But those who can risk are blessed; they will know the real joy of life and the real meaning of existence. They will be immensely showered with blessings from every nook and corner of existence. Yes, like flowers, blessings will shower on them, but they will have to do one thing absolutely: they will have to die as the ego. And...
..., flowing. Life should never be rigid. Rigidity is death and fluidity is life. So when the waterfall is there, there are rocks also. The water is very soft and rocks are very hard, but sooner or later the rocks will be defeated. The feminine wins over the masculine. The soft wins over the strong. The fluid wins over the rigid. Life goes on winning over death. Death happens but life continues. Death has...
