... that. This is not a body. This is the original nature. This is the existential source of all being. Two or three things more. When you transcend the bliss-body, you transcend individuality also. When you transcend the bliss-body, you transcend life and death also, because life and death are phenomena which exist only in the bodies, and in relation to the bodies. Where there is no body, you cannot die...

... and you cannot be reborn. So once one becomes aware of the no-body existence of the center, then there is no death and no life - then you are existence itself. Then there is no individuality, then you are not, simply the being is. All form and all name is lost. Meditation is the method to purify the fourth. Then what to do with the fifth... how to transcend it? How to transcend bliss itself? It is...
... idea of a person, the ego - "I am this, I am that." So when these moments come the mind starts feeling restless. It cannot digest these moments, because to digest them will be a death to the mind. The mind rejects them, condemns them becomes sad. That sadness came from your mind That was an effort of the mind to contaminate the whole experience so you would forget all about it. It is a sad...

... to survive. It will try to convince you, "This is a very sad thing. Don't go into it again." Yes, it is sad for the mind because it is death for the mind, it heralds nothing but death for the mind. But the death of the mind is your life, real life. A person is a facade, mm? That is the meaning of the word "person" - it comes from persona. In Greek theater the actors had to put...
... 'shobhana'. Deva means divine, geeto means a song - a divine song. It has yet to be sung. Many people die without singing their song, without bringing their lives to a conclusion, without knowing fulfilment. Many people die without flowering at all; then their lives have been a sheer wastage. Each child that is born brings a song in the heart that has to be sung, a seed that has to reach ultimate...

... for the moment, and soon darkness surrounds you. The inner light is eternal; once found it is forever. Even in death it will go with you. Nobody can take it away... not even death. To know this light is to know deathlessness. To know this light is to know eternity. Deva means divine, sangit means music - divine music. Music comes closest to meditation. Just beyond music is meditation: one step more...
... moment one takes the plunge into the unknown it has to die naturally. So, please, do not identify yourself with it. Be a witness to it. And you will be in the jump. Oh! It is time enough to die to the old ego and be reborn to the supreme self. 17-4-1971 (To, Ma Yoga Bhakti, New York, U.S.A.) Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... itself. It becomes the gap between two moments of time. And, if one can be in this gap then one is beyond death. Because, time is death; and timelessness is life. Life is not something fixed and finished - Life is living that is - aprocess -just river like - flowing always into the unknown - from the shores of the known to the shores of the unknown. 27-1-1971 (To, Docteur C. Guinebert, 87, Avenue Du...
... couldn't die." He took up the brush and wrote: BIRTH IS THUS DEATH IS THUS VERSE OR NO VERSE THAT'S THE FUSS? then he let go of the writing brush and passed on. Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... want to be reborn! It is like a child who wants to cling to the womb and yet wants to be born. That is impossible. Either he has to be in the womb and die in the womb -- because after nine months to be in the womb is going to be sure death -- or he has to take the risk, the adventure, of going into the unknown. And, certainly, the child must feel the birth as death. It is death to his life as he has...

... question OSHO, I HAVE HEARD THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST NEARLY DROWNED HIS DISCIPLES WHEN BAPTIZING THEM. IS THIS TRUE? IS THIS TYPE OF EXPERIENCE SOMETHING THROUGH WHICH A DISCIPLE MUST PASS? Anand Navin, IT IS TRUE. I KNOW THIS FELLOW John the Baptist! In fact, every Master has been doing that. It is absolutely necessary because the disciple has to pass through a death process. Unless he dies -- dies to his...

... past, dies to his knowledge, dies to his beliefs -- he cannot be reborn. And baptism is only symbolic: it is the symbol of death and resurrection. That's exactly what I am doing here. You cling to your beliefs -- political, social, religious, philosophical You cling to whatsoever you have accumulated -- although it is all junk, although it has not given you a single glimpse of truth, you cling to it...

....... Even Divya wept when she heard that Hamid had invited Aditya! He must have been joking because Iranians are very much against homosexuality. In Iran, the punishment for homosexuality is death -- although because of this punishment, more Iranians are homosexual than anybody else. Because when something is so dangerous, people become interested: "Naturally there must be something in it. When the...

... punishment is death, that means there must be something higher than life in it, more than life in it. It is worth taking the risk!" But why should people be worried about others? About everything the society remains alert: nobody should have his own individual way about his sex, about his love, about his clothes, about his way of talking, manners. Every society imposes a fascist rule on its members...
... surrender out of love, but he cannot be made to surrender; he would rather die than surrender. He cannot be an obedient slave -- not that he does not know how to obey. When he feels for something, when he is committed to something, involved with something, he obeys, he obeys totally, but he is really obeying his own inner light; he is not following any commandments from the outside. To be an individual is...

... much afraid of death -- and he calls Jesus neurotic, who goes to his death with a prayer on his lips, who can pray from the cross, "God, forgive these people because they know not what they are doing." This man is neurotic? And Sigmund Freud? -- it is reported that at least three times- in his life he fainted, fell into a coma, became unconscious, just at the mention of the word 'death...

... had never thought that you would be so foolish, and I am telling God, looking upwards to the sky: You cannot befool me. Even if you have come in the form of the murderers, I recognize you -- because only God exists and nobody else. Today he has come in the form of murderers, as death -- it is my ultimate test." This person is neurotic? And just the mention of the word 'death' is enough to make...

... asked the same question, Krishna Deva. Maybe you are the reincarnation of the same Emperor! Because the Japanese tend to be reborn in India -- this is the land of their Master, Buddha. Every Japanese keeps the desire to come to India some day. If they die without coming in this life, they are reborn here. They die with the desire. The Emperor reached the Zen Master and asked him, "What is hell...
... with him. But the love would not last for a few days, at the most for a few weeks, and Byron would move to somebody else. When he fell in love with one woman, she was very very insistent: "Unless you get married to me I am not interested. You say you are ready to die for me - I don't want you to die for me. I simply want you to get married to me." Now, that was a bigger demand. It is very...

... easy to die - it is so poetic, so romantic - but to live with a woman and to get married is so unpoetic, so unromantic, so utterly meaningless. Byron tried to avoid and avoid, but the woman was also very clever. She had learnt many stories about Byron, that this was happening: "Within weeks, within days, his interest simply disappears. He starts looking at the woman as if he has not known her at...

... don't do yoga. When spring comes they bloom! It is simple, it is spontaneous. It is not out of desire - hence the beauty of nature, hence the immense silence of nature. There is no desire. The desire has not entered yet. It cannot enter, because for desire to enter a little bit of conscious-ness is needed - otherwise, how will you think of tomorrow? How will you think of death How will you think of...

... an emperor, because all that I need I have. And your emperors are not emperors, because they will never have all that they need. Their desires wily go on multiplying themselves. They will live the life of a beggar, and they will die the life of a beggar." Look into the hearts of the rich people - they have to be pitied. They are poorer than the poor. It sometimes happens that in a poor...

... in the middle of my journey, I am on the road. I have to conquer and finish things, then I will come." Diogenes said, "You can go. But remember: this road is endless. You will never be able to come back." It is NEVER completed. Who has ever been able to complete it? Death comes before! And it happened exactly like that. Alexander could not come back. He died. He never came back to...

... too. That's what death is: devoured by your own desiring, eaten up by your own hungry mind. That's what death is. Sooner or later, you will step in the bowl. That bowl is your grave. And the dervish is right: "YOU CARE TO STEP INTO THIS BOWL, IT WILL DEVOUR YOU TOO. HOW CAN A KING, THEN, HOLD HIMSELF AS BEING OF ANY ACCOUNT?" "What are you talking about?" the dervish said. "...
... by accepting questions and endeavoring to find their answers. Imitation means the question has not yet even arisen, and you have accepted the answer. If the question has not arisen then the season is not ripe - don't sow the seeds, they will die. It will be sheer wastage. But it happens: if you come across a Buddha, his being, his presence is magnetic - you would like to be like him. His grace...

..., and the desiring bowl will remain empty. Even Alexanders die empty, Napoleons die empty, Adolf Hitlers die like beggars. Only those who have understood the futility of desiring die like kings. They also live like kings. A Buddha lives like a king. That was why Jesus was so much misunderstood - because he declared himself the king, the real king. And he told his disciples, "I have come to bring...

...? A spiritual person is not interested in magic, is not interested in occult powers, is not interested in gold either. A spiritual person is finished with all these things! Hence he is spiritual. His search is for something that is beyond death. His search is for self-remembering. Satyr Sai Baba cannot produce self-remembering out of nothing. Nobody can produce it. Self- remembering has to be...

... - death is acceptable - but I had lived long enough as a nobody. I would have passed and nobody would have paid attention - now everybody knows that I exist, that I am important." Go deep into the criminal's mind and you will find this. And this is the mind of the politician too. If the politician succeeds slowly slowly he becomes criminal. The more powerful he becomes, the more criminal he becomes...

... same man who used to be Mahavir's disciple. I have been deceiving people - I don't know a thing. Before I die I want it to be known that I was false. Please forgive me, and go to Mahavir. I cannot go now, I am so ill, but I would like to fall at his feet and apologize. It is too late, but I have deceived." There is a great desire in people to claim. And the inner riches can be claimed more...
