Osho
... back to life again. Gautam Buddha had to use a totally different kind of technology - not scientific but occult. The physical body died. But there are other bodies within this body which don't die, and he has lived with his third body. He cannot be born through a womb; that is impossible, that is against the nature of things. Once you are enlightened, you cannot be born through the natural process...
... you be in trouble?" "Because I am here waiting for you, waiting and waiting. And if you are caught by the police it will be a real anxiety to me - 'What happened to the poor guy?' So many people have died, and I have not even asked your name; otherwise I could come to your home. But remember not to die yourself. Otherwise, who is going to come for the rupee?" He was really shocked...
... on trusting. Do you really believe that my wife is dead?" I said, "I really believe it, because man is mortal, people die. Your wife is not immortal. Don't be afraid - she will die. If she has not died today, tomorrow she will die. Keep the rupee with you; perhaps you are telling the story a little ahead of time." He said, "I will not take any money from you, and from today I...
... you can take rupees. Some day they will die and you may not be able to find me then - because I am here for only one hour and then I will be gone." I used to pass Khandva continually because it is a junction going to Nagpur, going to Indore, going to Jabalpur, going to Bombay - and that man would always come with some fruits, some flowers. And I would say, "This is not right, you are poor...
... is being missed. You are part, an organic part of this tremendous, beautiful whole. You are relaxed in it, surrendered in it. You don't exist separately -- all separation has disappeared. A great rejoicing happens, because with the ego disappearing there is no worry left, with the ego disappearing there is no anguish left, with the ego disappearing there is no possibility of death any more. This is...
..., so there is no hurry. If you die this time, nothing to be worried about -- next time you will be born again, and again and again and again. In the West, all the three religions that are born outside of India -- Judaism, Christianity, Islam -- they believe in one life. They have all come from the same root, Judaism. In fact, there are only two religions in the world: Judaism and Hinduism. A few...
... action is futile, because it is simply the occupation of a neurotic mind. And the East is not interested in action at all; that is again another kind of neurosis, the opposite kind -- people are lazy. They philosophize very much about their laziness. They talk about renouncing the world; they say, "What is the point of earning, of working? one day one has to go, one day one has to die, so why...
... bother? rest as much as you can before you die." But then what will you do when you die? You can rest when you die. MAN NEEDS A BALANCE, and that balance is possible only if you learn the art of being active and yet remaining inactive inside. And that's what we are trying to do here, and in the bigger commune you will have more facilities to be active and inactive together. People who come to the...
... safe with the husband, the husband thinks he is safe with the wife, the parents think they are safe with their children. The safety is fallacious because neither the family nor money nor anything else of this world can save you from death. When death comes it shatters everything; it shatters all your sandcastles. The householder lives in a kind of dreamworld, a world of his own projections. It is not...
... now you have moved into a bigger crowd - you have become another family. Nothing has changed. First you were thinking that was your security, now you think this is your security, but the old idea of security still persists. He says that to be a sannyasin means to accept the natural insecurity of life. That very acceptance is sannyas - to accept that, "I am born alone and I will die alone, and...
... same. One wants to belong, one can't be alone. He says: WANTING NOTHING, HE TRAVELS ON ALONE - because the real master has no desire, not even desire for life; hence he is not afraid of death. He has no desire in this world or in the other; hence he is not concerned with creating all kinds of safeties around himself. He is not concerned. He can be alone, utterly alone. He is not trying to be clever...
...! In the Mohammedan paradise not only are beautiful women available but beautiful boys too. They never grow their mustaches, they remain always the same - young. Now here, in all the Mohammedan countries, homosexuality is one of the greatest crimes. The homosexuals have to be beheaded, death is the penalty. Can't you see the absurdity? In paradise you will be provided with all kinds of beautiful boys...
... seeker of truth has to be very watchful not to move from one prison into another, from one desire into another. He has to be very alert and aware. He has to de- automatize himself. He has to become a man, not continue as a machine. You are born as a machine, and unless you make a great effort, you will remain as a machine and you will die as a machine. Make every effort to become aware so that you are...
... give you the ten thousand pounds the cat has left in the will.' Suddenly the rabbi jumped, and he said: 'Wait Don't try to go out. You fool! Why didn't you tell me before that the cat was a Jew?' Your synagogues, your churches, your temples - they belong to the marketplace; they have to be serious. The world is too serious, and it has to be because death always hangs over. You may avoid, you may not...
... look at it, but in the world, death is always around. You have to be serious. Even if you laugh, your laughter has tears within it. Even if you smile, your smile is not total; it is painted, forced. It is not an inner flow and glow. No, it is not. In the marketplace you have learned too much seriousness. Then your churches become serious. Your gods cannot smile. Christians say Jesus never laughed...
... I will persuade you not to be serious, because seriousness is the shadow of the ego. Without the ego you can't be serious. Simply without the ego, seriousness disappears, because without the ego, death disappears. Only the ego has died - not you. You have never died; you have never been born. You have been eternally here, and you will be eternally here. You are part of this whole existence. You...
... changes; the formless goes on and on and on. There is nothing to be serious about. But the ego is afraid, apprehensive. Death is coming. The ego is a weight. The ego cannot laugh. My whole effort is to create such a deep laughter in you that the laughter remains but you disappear. The dance remains but the dancer disappears. Then life is tremendously beautiful - and only then life is beautiful. So don't...
... in them. And her husband loved her deeply; he had always remained faithful to her. The woman must have been beautiful when she was younger. Now near about fifty, just a skeleton, a memory - a memory of the past. Eyes shrunken. The whole life gone. Death approaching. She was clinging to the children; they would fulfill her hopes. She could not fulfill herself so now they would fulfill; now she would...
... the heart, penetrates deep. It is painful, but nothing can be achieved without pain. Suffering is part of growth. You are seeking comfort. Then you borrow answers. Then don't come to me because I will force you, throw you into the abyss of your own being. In the beginning it will look like death, in the beginning it will look like nothingness. But if you are courageous, soon the eternal ground...
... were brought for his service. They would serve him, and there was music and song and his whole life was just a sing-song, just a dreamy life. Absolute planning was possible because he was a king's son. When he was young he had never seen any old man, any ill man, any dead man; he did not even know that death existed. Of course, when there is no death, no old age, no suffering, where is there a...
.... But he was not accustomed so he asked, "What has happened to this man?" He had to be replied to, and that was such a shock - such a great shock. There was such a big gap between his life and the facts of death that he is reported to have said, "If this man is dead, then the whole life is meaningless. Then I am also going to be dead. Then everything is useless. If death is the end...
... exactly alike. One animal's birth is not different from another animal's birth in any way. Death is not different, sex is not different. Everything is similar because everything is done by instinct. A bird makes a nest, an animal makes a den, still another animal makes something else. They make them through instinct. No learning is needed; they are never taught. This is done by their robot part. It is...
... can a Buddha say? What can a Jesus say? But if he has been dead for twenty or twenty-five centuries you cannot go to him and ask, "Are you an Enlightened One? Really, you do not think that you are deceived by yourself? Are you not in a self-deception?" You cannot ask it. During this long death, you cannot reach him. You begin to recognize it, but then it is useless. That recognition will...

... death. We are all responsible for destroying each other. One man dances and sings; another says, "What foolishness you are indulging in! Use your common sense!" Actually what he means is that if he himself danced it would be nonsensical; it would seem foolish. But he is crossing his limitations and imposing his will on the other by denouncing him. He makes himself the criterion for others...
... through the other. He who desires peace must pass through turmoil. He who desires birth must go through death. But this is what we do. We want birth but no death; we want the morning but not the evening; we want youth but not old age. We want only half. That cannot be, for that is not the rule of existence. And hence, we can never attain calm! Everyone desires peace and tranquillity; but the harder one...
... become very much afraid, you will again cling to anything that you can find around you. And the ego is the closest. It will be impossible for you to go into nothingness unless somebody is there calling you forth - from your very nothingness, somebody calling you forth, "Come on! Don't be afraid." Once you have learned that dropping the ego is not death, once you have learned and tasted that...
... the sea, I have no pain within me. I am well and whole both within and without." You can go and look around: there are millions of people who have no idea what it means to be a disciple, who have never tasted anything of disciplehood, who have never surrendered to anybody, who have never loved somebody so deeply that they are ready to die form him, who have never loved anybody so intimately...
... more valuable than the health which does not allow growth. To be abnormal and mad is far better if growth comes through it than to be normal and sane if no growth comes through it. The whole point is growth: you should not remain what you are. You should not remain the seed, you should burst forth into thousands of flowers. But before that the seed has to die in the soil. The master is just a climate...
... be convinced about it? Because I will not be there to witness it. What guarantee is there? Who knows? I may simply die and nothing may happen." What can be said to the seed? It is impossible to convince the seed. But the seed falls in love with a tree which has already grown - that which was hidden has become manifest. The seed falls in love with the flowers and the fragrance of the tree, and...
... the seed asks, "What is the way? How can I become like you?" That's what the meaning of being a disciple is. You come close to a Buddha and you see the flowers and the fragrance and you ask the Buddha, "How can I become like you?" And Buddha says, "I died, that's how I became like this. You must also die." And seeing the Buddha and the fragrance and the silence and the...
... again brings a split. Next moment it may be gone again. Don't compare. Life is change. That's what Buddha said: Life is change. That's what Heraclitus said: You cannot step in the same river twice. Life, the river, is constantly moving. Deep down you want life to be static. Why? Because with a static and dormant life you will be more safe, more secure. But life is not dormant, only death is dormant...
...," said the other bum. "Monday? My Gawd! What a rotten way to start the week!" Just watch yourself. Even to the very point of death, people go on repeating old habitual patterns. Now there is going to be no week; the morning has come when they are to be hanged. But just the old habit - somebody says it is Monday, and you say, "Monday? My God! What a rotten way to start the week...
... creativity is the surpassing. Otherwise, at the most we can go on perpetuating ourselves. You create a child - it is not creativity. You will die and the child will be here to perpetuate life. But to perpetuate is not enough unless you start surpassing yourself. And surpassing happens only when something of the beyond comes in contact with you. That is the point of transcendence - surpassing. And in...
... river." Then you are not an ego but an event or a process of events. Then you are a process, not a thing. Consciousness is not a thing, it is a process; and we have made it a thing. The moment you call it "I" it becomes a thing - defined, bounded, dormant, stagnant. And you start dying. The ego is your death. And the death of the ego is the beginning of your real life. And real life is...
... gift from God - that has been their idea. Now the gift is becoming very dangerous. The gift is becoming so dangerous that it is almost suicidal. No politician would have tried that. Let the country go to its death - who bothers? Since Morarji Desai came into power, all the programs for birth control have been put aside. And that is the only hope for this country. If this country is to survive, the...
... politicians who were against her would have remained divided, and if they had been divided there would have been no danger for her. But she started succeeding, and their chances to come into power started becoming less and less. They all joined together. They HAD to - it was a question of life and death for them. Now there was no question of ideologies. A strange phenomenon has happened in India, very...
... strange. Morarji Desai is a follower of Mahatma Gandhi, and is in power through the help of those who murdered Mahatma Gandhi. Strange bedfellows! But when it is a question of life and death who cares about ideologies? Ideologies are good as playthings, toys. All the Indian politicians of different attitudes, approaches, and diametrically opposite ideologies, gathered together and became one force...
... the Bible or the Koran. You only remain with great high things, you are not interested in the mundane. Seriousness supports the ego, seriousness is the climate in which the ego can thrive. Nonseriousness is the death of the ego. I teach you nonseriousness. And because of this seriousness you make mountains out of molehills. Just small things, and you make mountains. Somebody smokes cigarettes and he...
... same fear in you when you come close to me. You keep a certain distance. You are afraid. The fear is not suicidal - or is suicidal in a very different sense, in a spiritual sense. You are not afraid of the ordinary death; you are afraid of what Zen people call 'the great death'. You are afraid of disappearing, you are afraid of melting. You are afraid of losing your hold upon yourself. And everybody...
... to contact my people, and I can contact only those who are REALLY with me - in thick and thin, in joy and in misery, in ecstasy and agony, in life and death. I can contact only those people. So now become a little more alert. Much is possible. I am also a window. There is no need to be afraid - fear is natural, still there is no need to be afraid . In spite of the fear, come close to me. One kind...
... available for which you have been hankering, and you can jump, and you can die and be reborn. The second question Question 2: I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY, OSHO, BUT WHILE SITTING ALONE OR IN DISCOURSE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME AND TEARS START COMING OUT OF MY EYES. WHAT IS THIS ALL, OH MY MASTER? SO YOU HAVE STARTED LISTENING TO ME. Shivananda, that's the way to listen to me - through tears. That's the...
... and they can say, "Okay, so it was wrong and I drop it. My whole life was wrong and I start anew." To start anew in old age is very difficult, very difficult, because ahead there is only death, no time left - and you are starting something new? Great trust is needed - great trust in life, great trust in God, and adventurousness. All great religions start with adventurous people, young...
... people, the downtrodden, oppressed, criminals, sinners. And all religions die when they become respectable and saints arrive and churches evolve - they die. A new flower is opening up here. All the so-called religious people will be against it - they are against. They have to be against. All their investments, all their privileges, all their consolations - how can they risk so much? They will cling...
... your body?" And that was that. And Nansen said, "Now I can die peacefully. A man has arrived who can understand my language. A man has arrived who can meet not on the surface but in the depth." Joshu said, "My Master, take good care of your body." Just saying that, the initiation had happened. And the way Joshu said, "Although winter is past its peak, it is still very...
..., you will have lost much, because your whole life you will have been struggling for the trivial, for the mundane, for the meaningless, for the futile - which is going to be taken away by death any moment. Unless you have something of the within, you are not going to become rich. Only the kingdom of the within makes one rich, because even death cannot take it away. It cannot be robbed, it cannot be...
... touch their shadows. It used to be so. It is still so in a few villages that when an untouchable, a SUDRA, passes on the street, he has to shout "Please get out of my way. I am coming" - because if his shadow falls on somebody of the high caste, that will be a crime. He can be beaten, beaten to death! Still people are being burned for this crime, and this stupid structure has lived for five...
.... Learning never stops. Even at the moment of death the seeker goes on learning; he learns death. He's always ready to change. Water represents the changing element, the eternally changing, flux-like phenomenon. Those who are ready to change, and forget and forgive the past, and are ready to go with the moment, are the REAL human beings because they are the adventurers. They know the beauties of life and...
... a human being, total, whole, with the whole, the meeting of the human with the divine, the ultimate meeting. That is eternal. Once that has happened you are beyond death. It cannot be undone again. ONE IS AWARE OF EFFULGENCE AND INFINITY. THE WHOLE BODY FEELS LIGHT AND WOULD LIKE TO FLY. THIS IS THE STATE OF WHICH IT IS SAID: CLOUDS FILL THE THOUSAND MOUNTAINS. Now you are infinite like clouds...
