Osho
... entered, penetrated, opened. That's the meaning when Jesus says unless you are ready to die you cannot be reborn. Just two, three days before, on Easter, somebody asked a question that, "Today is Easter. Osho, have you something to say?" I have only one thing to say, that each day is Easter, because Easter is the day of Jesus' resurrection - his crucifiction and resurrection, his death and his...
... being reborn. Each day is an Easter if you are ready to move into the hara center. You will be crucified first - the cross is there within your hara center. You are already carrying it; you just have to move to it and you have to die through it, and then there is resurrection. Once you die in the hara center, death disappears; then for the first time you become aware of a new world, a new dimension...
... you can see his bioplasma. Sometimes that is mistaken for his ghost. The physical body dies, but the energy body continues to move. And those who have experimented deeply about death, they say that for three days it is very difficult for the person who has died to believe that he has died because the same form - and more vital than ever, more healthy than ever, more beautiful than ever - surrounds...
... being and greater possibilities can be revealed to you. Remember, we have been saying in the past few days that the second center, near the sex center, is hara, the center of death. That's why people are afraid to move beyond sex because the moment the energy moves beyond sex it touches the -hara center and one becomes afraid. That's why_ people are even afraid to move deep in love because when you...
... hole. The star is; the black hole is not. And each star when burned, exhausted, becomes a black hole. And each black hole, when rested, becomes a star. Matter, no-matter go on changing. Matter becomes no-matter; no-matter becomes matter. Life becomes death; death becomes life. Love becomes hate; hate becomes love. Polarities continuously change. This sutra says, "Performing samyama on their...
..., "Die before your death, and then you will become deathless," they mean the same. The death of the ego happens only through surrender. People come to me and they ask, "How not to be egoistic?" But you cannot do anything to be nonegoistic. Whatsoever you will do will make you again egoistic. You can try, discipline the ego, but you cannot be nonegoistic because whatsoever you do...
... teaching anything, I am teaching you death, because I know only through death is resurrection. Question 2 THIS MORNING YOU SPOKE OF THE NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE, TO NOT LEAN ON OTHERS, TO BE ALONE. I SEE I HAVE BEEN TAKING SANNYAS AS AN EXCUSE TO AVOID THESE THINGS - ASKING YOU ALL THE TIME WHAT TO DO, CALLING ON YOUR PRESENCE WHEN I AM SAD AND LONELY, IMAGINING YOU ARE WITH ME, FILLING ALL THE EMPTINESS...
... will miss many opportunities. So drop those problems which are not yours. Drop those problems which you have learned from others. Drop those problems which arise because of your fixed ideologies. Be fluid, move. Die each moment to the past and be born again so you don't carry any ideology, any fixed attitude towards life, and you are always open and available, responding. Then only those problems...
... do, what is moral, what is immoral - - I am not saying that. I am simply saying to you: from wherever you are passing, pass with full alertness, so nothing that is wrong is repeated again. This is the beauty of awareness: that which is right is enhanced through it; that that which is wrong is destroyed through it. Awareness functions as life energy to good and as death energy to bad. Awareness...
... risk. Hmm?... they will bore him to death. A small child was brought to the church for the first time. He looked at people's faces - long, sad, serious. The whole thing looked as if somebody had died. Back home the mother asked, "How did you feel?" He said, "I must say the truth. I felt as God must have been feeling there." The mother said, "What do you mean?" He said...
..., "God must be bored, seeing those long faces. And, Mom, do those same people come every Sunday?" "Hmm, of course, the same people. There are a few who have been coming there for forty, fifty years." The boy became very, very sad; he said, "Think of God. The same serious people every Sunday, the same faces. He must be bored to death." You reach God through laughter. I teach...
..., dust unto dust -- but it was alive. Your plastic flower is dead, that's why it cannot die. Everything alive will die; only dead things never die. Remember this: don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid that things may disappear. Untruth never dies. Truth dies millions of times and resurrects again and again. Remember this. Untruth is like a plastic flower, secure. That's why marriage is secure. A...
... the very birth, the pangs of birth -- in a single moment, a flash, and the whole life passes. This is true. And the same happens when you reach the moment of SAMADHI, the ultimate death, when the ego dies completely. This happens! But in a single moment you suffer the whole past of humanity, not your own. This is the cross. You suffer the whole past of humanity because now you are transcending...
... always to find causes for being miserable. It is simply wonderful, the mind is simply wonderful -- it is so skilled in finding causes to be miserable! It creates all your miseries -- because in a blissful state the mind will die. It is against all bliss. You are in a misery: it will suggest to you that this is not good, do that. And it will suggest just the opposite. Be alert: when the mind suggests...
... matter because these flowers are artificial." Your whole life has become artificial -- plastic flowers. From a distance they look good, but if you come near they are plastic. Of course, they don't die so soon. They cannot die, they are plastic flowers, but a thing that cannot die is not alive. A real flower has to pass through millions of hazards. How humble a real flower is... how fragile! In the...
... death it seems. If I don't find something immediately I am going to die! And now there is no need for any elephant or camel - even if I can find a big ant, that will do - at least for the breakfast!" Your shadow changes; even your own shadow is never the same. Every race has its own shadow. In other words, every race has its own history. In still other words, every race has its own mind - the...
... ever happens into his being, he simply vegetates. From birth to death he simply goes on dying every day, each moment, slowly. Of course his death is so slow that he cannot feel it. It is a kind of slow suicide. People have chosen this kind of slow suicide just because they want to avoid all fear. This is avoiding life itself, and if you avoid life you are avoiding God. Somebody asked Mark Twain once...
..., "What do you think are the three best things in life?" Humorously, sarcastically, he said, "The first best thing is never to be born. The second best thing is to die immediately after birth. And the third best thing is to die as soon as possible." But his humor has a tremendous truth in it. That's your logic too, that's the logic of the average mind, that's the logic of mind as...
... not-knowing. The mind will tremble - let it tremble. Let it die out of trembling. Don't listen to it. The mind will created many doubts. That's why, Evi Huber, you say... THERE ARE DOUBTS... It is natural the mind will create many doubts. The mind will say "You are perfectly happy, you are perfectly comfortable. Why are you risking? For what? You may lose even that which you have; you may not...
... to me than it ever was before I started inquiring about it. I know less today than I used to think before." Eddington, another great scientist, wrote in his autobiography that "When I started my scientific career I was a total materialist. I was brought up in a materialistic atmosphere. I was told that only matter exists and I believed that only matter exists. But now, before I die, I...
... death staying where he was. It was so cold that ice formed on his wings as he flew, and he fell stricken to the earth and landed in a farmyard. A cow passing through the yard did a big shit all over the little sparrow. The sparrow thought he would suffocate, but instead he was warmed back to life. Thus, warm, happy and able to breathe, the young bird began to sing. A passing cat, hearing the joyful...
... RETRIBUTION. IT TURNS THE WHEEL. AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE SUBJECT TO BIRTH AND DEATH, YOU'LL NEVER ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT. TO ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT YOU HAVE TO SEE YOUR NATURE. UNLESS YOU SEE YOUR NATURE, ALL THIS TALK ABOUT CAUSE AND EFFECT IS NONSENSE. BUDDHAS DON'T PRACTICE NONSENSE. A BUDDHA IS FREE OF KARMA, FREE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. TO SAY HE ATTAINS ANYTHING AT ALL IS TO SLANDER A BUDDHA. WHAT COULD HE...
.... That is the difference between the spiritualist and the materialist. The materialist says in philosophical terms that life, consciousness, are all conditional, are all effects. When causes are removed they will disappear. When in death the five elements of which your body is made fall apart, back into their original sources -- water into water, earth into earth, air into air, fire into fire, space...
... RETRIBUTION. IT TURNS THE WHEEL. AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE SUBJECT TO BIRTH AND DEATH, YOU'LL NEVER ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT. Enlightenment has not to be an effect of some cause, not an effect of some practice, not an effect of some conditions that you have fulfilled. It has not to be an attainment, but only a discovery. It is already there. You are just keeping your eyes closed, so when you open your eyes and you...
... there is mind, I am saying no-mind -- because mind can be seen. You see it every day. There is no need to die to see it; even while living you see it. Just close your eyes and you will start seeing it. "BUT IF THE no-MIND IS PRESENT, WHY DON'T I SEE IT?" The disciple is raising questions and trying to find Bodhidharma's answers. Perhaps he asked these questions ...he must have received the...
... times, will die again, will be born again. This body is not your real body. Your real body is your real being -- which has never died, which has never been born, which has always continued eternally through many forms, but it has been the same. There is a statement of Gautam Buddha: "You can taste the ocean from anywhere, from any direction; its taste is always the same." So whether in this...
... ...the gospels of Jesus were written after three hundred years when Jesus was not there to correct them. And no Christian would like another Jesus to correct them. Otherwise ...I am absolutely willing. Gautam Buddha's sutras were written after his death. And there was so much quarreling amongst the disciples that immediately after his death there were thirty-two schools in conflict with each other...
... possible, Only they can be absolutely correct. A real, alive child has so many defects - bound to be so, because life exists in danger and death. Only a dead thing is out of danger. Life is always a hazard: there are a thousand and one difficulties to be crossed, riddles to be solved. The very phenomenon that life exists is a miracle, with so many imperfections.... Life is imperfect because life is a...
... vast, she will simply disappear. Falling into the ocean is a death. It is the cross. When the river falls into the ocean, the cross is there. At the last moment Jesus looked at the sky and said, "God, have you forsaken me? Why is this happening to me? " - deep cry of anguish. 'Why have you forsaken me?' shows the humanity of Jesus. That is where Jesus is tremendously beautiful, incomparably...
... beautiful. Buddha is more inhuman. You may call it 'superhuman', but he is inhuman. If he was going to die on the cross, he would not have cried toward the sky: "Why have you forsaken me? " He knows that there is nobody to cry to, he knows no God exists, that that is all human foolishness. He knows that all that is born is going to die; he has understood it totally. He will not cry, he will...
... needs a good image: that you are a sincere man - - very honest. That's what the ego is saying: "Do something so you can repaint the image, renovate the image." You have been insincere. This has been revealed to you through meditation. Now the ego is in danger of death. The ego says: do something. Through doing, it will try to again reclaim the fallen image, resettle with the old, so you can...
.... Now suddenly my five children are gone, my wife is also gone - why is there so much suffering, and for no reason? I here must be an explanation." The Zen Master said, "Life is just like a dew-drop in the morning. It is the nature of life that death happens. I here is no explanation; it is the nature of life. There is no need for any special reason to be given. Life's nature is like a dew...
... those who have not suffered, what to say of them? They live a superficial life. Happiness is always superficial; it has no depth to it. Only sadness has depth. Life is superficial; only death has depth. Life is very ordinary: eating, earning, loving - very ordinary. Suffering has a depth; it awakens you, it shocks you out of your sleep. Yes, only those who have suffered will understand what I'm saying...
..., courage and fear, yes and no, atheism and theism. Mind does not feel at ease unless it has divided a thing in two. It cannot conceive of light unless it is contrasted with darkness, it cannot conceive of life unless it is defined by death. And because psychology remains within the boundaries of the mind it cannot help man to grow to his potential heights. Psychology will discourage you: spiritual search...
... death, and man is just matter; that mind is also nothing but a certain combination of material elements - this has created a very strange situation. Intelligence is pulling man towards more growth and the people who deal with growth are pulling man backwards, telling him, "There is no beyond, just be normal - that is more than you can dream of." "Just to be normal" is the goal of...
... to be a hunter!" And I don't think that you can ever be so strong that the need for being stronger disappears. Even the strongest people have found weakness, disease, old age, death... There was one man in India, Gama, who was the world champion in the Indian type of wrestling. But he died at the age of forty, and the diagnosis of the doctors was that he died because he exerted himself too...
... rose as strong as a stone. If the rose and the rock clash together, the rose is going to suffer, to die, not the rock. But it is not weakness. It is a delicate structure, a beautiful phenomenon that looks to be not of this world. I am not saying anything against those who are strong; that has a beauty of its own. But its days are gone. What you are going to do with physical strength in a world of...
... rich people. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, YOU HAVE SAID THAT THE SEEKER IS THE SOUGHT, THAT WE ARE THE ANSWER TO OUR QUESTIONS. HOW IS IT THAT THE ANSWER CAN ASK QUESTIONS? Milarepa, you are the answer but you are fast asleep. The answer within you is just a seed. It needs the right soil, it needs a master gardener, it needs your cooperation, your willingness to die as a seed so that you can be born as...
... Alexandria it was difficult. He could not come down, he had taken a vow to remain till death on the pillar. And he was doing all kinds of nasty things from the pillar, it was disgusting. For thirty years he had not taken a bath - in Alexandria, which was hot, burning hot. And he was urinating, he is doing everything while sitting on the pillar. He could not sleep - or perhaps slowly, slowly he became...
..., "I want humanity to remain puzzled about me even after my death." So everybody who goes to his grave comes back puzzled: "Why did he do it?" It is impossible not to ask the question why he did it. There is nothing behind the door, there are no walls. Why did he ask for the door and the lock and leave special instructions that the keys should be thrown in the ocean, because the door...
... wipe the tears of the child with your hand, and you are unaware that you may be catching a deadly disease - a disease which should not be called a disease because it has no cure. Scientists almost all agree that there is no possibility of any cure. The man or the woman is going to die at the most within two years, but mostly within six months. It is slow death. I am against it. I am against celibacy...
.... Eating anything by killing is irreligious, unspiritual, unaesthetic. And once the unfertilized egg is added to the vegetarian food, the food is perfect - better than the none vegetarian food. It fulfills all your needs without any destruction. A man who lives by destruction will die by destruction. It is not a coincidence that both the world wars were fought in the West. And the third world war will...
... ecology of the earth. They are our brothers and our sisters. The day Saint Francis died - he used to travel on a donkey - the last thing he said is worth remembering. He addressed the donkey - the last thing - not his disciples. He said, "Brother donkey, please forgive me. I have been riding on you. I accept my guilt; it was not right to ride on a brother. Please forgive me before I die." But...
... death, you will be rewarded. Now this is against the law of cause and effect. If you put your hand into a fire, you will be burnt now, not in your next life. I do not agree with the law of karma as it is preached by Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism; it is ugly. It is an effort to keep the status quo of society. It protects the rich, the powerful, and it keeps the poor suffering in a kind of drugged state...
... and effect functions here and now; it does not wait for death to come. If you do something good, you will immediately be rewarded. According to me, in the very act of doing good there is reward. If somebody has fallen on the ground, and you help him to get up, don't you feel happy? Doesn't your heart feel that you have done something human? If somebody is drowning in the ocean, and you turn your...
... right now - you go on doing it. And they were against me because I was teaching something which goes against their philosophy and their religion. Their religion says, "God gives you the children. You cannot prevent them." If God is giving you the children, then god is giving you the poverty, and then God will give you death too, to the whole country. They go on clinging to old, out-of-date...
... rejoice immensely, because for centuries they have been sitting there, simply playing on the harp, "Alleluia, alleluia!" I have heard about a porter in Munich, a German guy, addicted to beer. By mistake - that's why I say accidents happen - by mistake, somebody else was to die but the angels of death took the poor porter, because he was lying in the other man's house who was going to die...
... again. Of course, millions of sannyasins today and tomorrow and in the future will be at a loss, because there is much which I have yet to say. But to make you happy, I can do that. "But remember, if my silence makes you happy, then my absence may make you happier. Perhaps, deep down, my death will be the right thing for you. Then you can become the head. Nobody will be there to prevent you."...
...; If you try to look into things deeper, you will be surprised what revealing factors come up. Now, Sheela was very much concerned about my death - almost paranoid. She had arranged so many guards and security. But she will never understand why this paranoia. Something deep inside herself was longing for my death. And to avoid seeing it, she was projecting that somebody is going to assassinate me...
... you - even in sleep - that your whole life has to become religious; it is not a question of a few minutes, a few hours. And for me, there is no other paradise. You have to create it here and now. You have to learn how to create paradise. Meditation is the technology. Changing work into worship is the secret. So wherever you are, it doesn't matter. If after death there is heaven and hell, then of...
... blind beliefs established in that structure, do not want to die. They want to continue to live within the society. Because of the job done by the teacher, he is respected. Without flattering the teacher and without respecting the teacher, it is not possible to ask for this work from him. That is why it is said that the teacher is a guru, respectable, and his advice must be listened to. Why? - because...
... to the knowledge that can develop. He does not allow anything to leave the parameter of the past. As a result, we continue to do many types of foolish things. Those old things are not allowed to die. The politician has also understood this, and he is also exploiting the teacher. What is surprising is that the teacher is not aware of this exploitation done in the name of service to the society. How...
... in a row. The hangman would call out the names, one after the other, and would hang them. The hangman cried out the name, "Nuri," that he should come forward. But the person whose name was Nuri did not get up; instead another person got up and said, "You hang me first." The hangman said, "Your name is not Nuri. Why are you in a hurry to die?" The one who had come...
... forward replied, "I have loved Nuri and I have understood that when it is a question of dying, to come forward, and when it is a question of living, to remain behind. I would like to die before my friend dies. If it is a question of living, my friend should live longer than me." Love speaks like this. What does competition say? Competition tells you to stay behind while dying and go on ahead...
... wars it is no wonder! If in a world based on this education, when palaces are being built near huts, what is the wonder if people living in a palace are pleased at seeing people living in huts die? So there are poor people and there are others who have so much more and still do not know what to do with it. This is all due to the present education, and the teacher is also responsible for this. For...
...? Just think of this world, where five billion people are like Rama. What will happen to this world? The whole world will commit suicide within fifteen minutes. Life will be so full of boredom, seeing Rama everywhere, that it will die. If all bushes produce only roseflowers, what will happen? Roseflowers will not be worth looking at - no need to see them at all. It is not without significance that...
... left, you punish him. Within a few days his intelligence will be destroyed and his human qualities will also die. If you tell him to turn right, he turns like a machine. If you tell him to kill someone, he kills. He has ceased to be a man, he has become a machine. Is this called discipline? And we wish that there should be this discipline in children also. So we give the children cadet training...
