... crowd of disciples, but who had the eyes of an innocent child, and his heart full of unsung songs. He pulled out the book and gave it to the disciple, and said, "This book will be symbolic. Whoever possesses it will be the successor, so remember, be very careful, don't let anybody else read it. Only you can read it, and before you die you can give it to the right person, who is capable of reading...
... life anywhere, utter silence. And this silence I call the silence of death. Our earth is also silent, but the wind passes through the trees... and there is life... and the birds sing, and there is light, and deep in the middle of the night when everything is silent a cuckoo starts singing - do you think it disturbs the silence? No, it deepens it, it makes it more musical; and as the cuckoo becomes...
... silent, the night is more deeply silent than it was before. This is a living silence. Always remember, any quality that has no life in it is not worth having. Unless a saint can also dance, he is not a saint; he is just a dead fossil. When you start seeing that even truth, meditation, beauty or virtue - all have their own songs, sung or unsung, you will be moving into the mysteries. Death has no...
... mystery, death is a dead- end street. Life is an ongoing process, forever and forever. Just raise your consciousness, and your understanding will become wider and bigger; when your consciousness reaches to the highest point, everything is below it. That is exactly the meaning of understanding. Now you understand. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I KNOW MYSELF LESS AND LESS? Prem Pradeepa...
... life's effort was to be accepted by the Jews as their long, long awaited messiah. He had never heard the words 'Christian' or 'Christ'. It is a very strange phenomenon that Christians are worshipping a Jew who for his whole life was teaching only one thing - that he should be accepted as a Jewish messiah. It was only three hundred years after his death when the Hebrew statements of Jesus were...
... understand what I mean. He says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit because they shall inherit the kingdom of God." This is a kind of opium for the poor, because it promises them, "After death, you will be received with great rejoicings. Your only great spiritual quality is your poverty." And against it he says, "A camel can pass through the eye of a needle, but a rich man cannot pass...
... through the gates of heaven." This is how the poor have been kept poor - hoping for something to happen after death. The rich have never bothered about all this nonsense - and I think they are right. If you can manage to be rich here - which is God's world according to the Christians - then why can you not be rich in the other world which is also God's world? There is no logic in it. And the people...
... single scholar, not a single professor, not a single man of any integrity is his follower - and he is doing all these things...! If somebody was doing it here in Kathmandu, the whole of Kathmandu would be there - even the king would be there. It would become the event, the most important in the whole of history. No, all those miracles were invented by the disciples after Jesus' death. The man who was...
... was going to die, as if all power to resist sickness had disappeared. He was pale, weak, and he had come just to see Gurdjieff for the last time, thinking that he would not be able to see him again. When he entered Gurdjieff's room, Gurdjieff said, "What has happened to you, Bennett? It is not time for you to die." He put his hand on Bennett's head, and Bennett could not believe it: a...
... every possible way, but your friend simply seems to be incapable of dropping his habit of drinking. He is willing to die, but not to drop drinking." So I went to see him. Before I could see him -- he was in his bathroom -- his wife told me, "Just the other day I read in the newspaper all the harm that can happen to drunkards. So I went in the bedroom ... because he still had a hangover. I...
... leave it incomplete, otherwise you will have to enter again." This is the law of reincarnation. It is one of the great contributions of Eastern mystics. Complete your life ... and your life completes only with enlightenment. After that, there is no birth, no death. But if you leave this world incomplete you will have to come back, again and again. Millions of times you have come back; how many...
... credibility. You put your hand in the fire. Will it burn now or in the next life? Action certainly brings its consequence, but it is connected. It is not disconnected and so far away that one death has to happen between. There seems to be no reason why. You do something good, you should be rewarded now. No. In the next life you will be reaping a great crop of joy, happiness, comfort, luxury -- but in the...
... -- who creates them? And for what purpose? The rich people bribe the church because church is a very great protection against revolution. I want to destroy poverty completely, but with the poverty the church will die together. It has no place at all anywhere. The poor should stop producing more population and should put their whole energy not in future lives in paradises but fighting for their right...
... is enough -- just for hooligans, Mafia, small gangs of criminals. But there is no need for nuclear weapons, atomic plants, and no need for millions of people simply go on polishing their guns. The poverty can be so easily eradicated. If we can create one world government, then we can create the World Academy of Sciences. So all the scientists of the world, who are right now in the service of death...
... crops, new food. You can make this earth a paradise without any difficulty. All that is needed that the worship of death should be stopped. The possibility of war should be completely eliminated. The humanity is one, hence there is no question of war. National governments can exist, but they will be only functional because they won't have any armies. They will be just like post office, railway board...
... was awakened suddenly and he died, but that is simply out of a deep auto-conditioning. In the dream you don't go anywhere; otherwise it would be happening all over the world, not only in a certain tribe where the belief is ingrained. You can wake up anybody; that does not mean he will die. But in those particular tribes - in India there are a few tribes and in other countries in the Far East - they...
... sickness, in death. Nothing will cause misery to you. But sometimes it can happen to a few people waking up in the morning; it all depends on the speed of waking up. A few people wake up very slowly - between the sleeping and the waking state they take time - so they will never feel this thing. Their pace is such that they will wake very slowly, so by the time they are waking up the sleep is almost gone...
... process; slowly, slowly, slowly they lose consciousness, go into unconsciousness, and then death happens. But if somebody is murdered, then there is no time for a slow process. He is awake - fully awake - and he leaves the body. And there are related phenomena. If a person is murdered, he leaves the body abruptly - like when your house is on fire you jump out of the window. Within seconds he will be...
... triggered in you which are of a similar nature. Relaxation will happen. For the first time you will feel so light and without any tensions. Trust will happen for the first time without any reason. A deep "yes" to existence, whatever it brings... It may bring life, more life; it may bring death, but it doesn't matter. As far as your yes is concerned, nothing matters; your yes is unconditional. It...
... it does not create a hypnotic effect in you, then you will know the real as far as the etheric is concerned. In the third body, the astral, it is even more difficult to know the difference because the two have come even closer. If you have known the real astral body and not just astral dreaming, then you will go beyond the fear of death. From here, one knows one's immortality. But if the astral is...
... a dream and not real, then you will be crippled by the fear of death. This is the point of distinction, the touchstone: the fear of death. A person who believes that the soul is immortal and goes on repeating and repeating it, convincing himself, will not be able to know the distinction between what is real in the astral body and what is an astral dream. One should not believe in immortality, one...
... remained in the fifth. Those who say that there are infinite souls and each soul has its own individuality - these persons have remained in the fifth. They have known themselves, but not immediately, not directly - only through the medium of a mirror. Where does this mirror come from? It comes through the cultivation of concepts: "I am the soul. Eternal, immortal. Beyond death, beyond birth."...
... is possible. With freedom, effort is always possible. A machine cannot make errors. To err, one has to be conscious. So your acts have a chain relationship with your previous acts. They are determined. Your childhood determines your youth; your youth determines your old age. Your birth determines your death; everything is determined. Buddha used to say, "Provide the cause, and the effect will...
... known before steps can be taken toward the real, the true. What is known as love is just infatuation. You begin to love someone. If that someone becomes yours totally, love will die soon; but if there are barriers, if you cannot have the person you love, the love will become intense. The more barriers, the more intensely love will be felt. If the beloved or the lover is impossible to get, the love...
... you do not want the opposite to come, you must create barriers so that infatuation never ends; you must create daily tensions. Then infatuation continues. This is the reason for the whole ancient system of creating barriers to love. But soon it will no longer be possible. Then marriage will die, and love will also die. It will go deep in the background. Only sex will remain. But sex cannot stand by...
... dark hole. No more light will be coming: it will have given all its heat to the world and it will die. Stars are born and stars die. Whenever there is some source it cannot be infinite. This inner light has no source, hence it is infinite; it does not depend on any kind of fuel so it is inexhaustible. It has been there for eternity and it will remain there for eternity. We may look at it, we may not...
... mystery that we are born in ignorance and the possibility is intrinsic in us to dispel this ignorance and become aware. We are born in misery, but with an intrinsic potential to overcome it, to transcend it, to become blissful, to become ecstatic. We are born in death, but with the possibility of going beyond death into immortality. But if you ask from where the death comes in, from where the ignorance...
... almost like mad. Just like any lover who has found his beloved after many years. I asked him, his brother asked him, "What are you doing?" He said, "I don't know, but I feel such a relief. Such a burden has been removed from my heart. But I don't know what ...who has made this cross, why I have such tremendous compulsion that if I don't kiss the cross I may die. I had to do it exactly at...
... you cannot go against your word. All the seekers of human consciousness absolutely agree on the point that all your misery or your happiness, your sadness or your joy, is nothing but your projection. It is coming deep from your unconscious mind and the other person is functioning only like a screen. Once it is fulfilled, you are finished. And suddenly, the same woman you were ready to die for ...you...
... flooded with rainwater, it is a mountainous river, do not try to cross it." I said, "Now it is absolutely impossible for me to resist the temptation. I will cross it." He said, "You will die. You will not be able to cross such a strong mountainous current." I said, "It will be a glorious death, but I am going to cross it." The whole village gathered when I crossed the...
.... "But it has to be my decision, not anybody else's. I understand your intention is good, but the way you are trying to impose your intention is very dangerous. Rather than seeing the death of my intelligence I would like to die myself, because what is the point of living like a robot?" So Goethe is correct: obedience is one of the greatest sins. All the religions have perpetuated it, and all...
..., then you can order me to do it. I would rather die than follow your order." In my village we had a beautiful river. In summer it was not so big, but in the rainy season it became huge. I was a constant lover of the river, and if they could not find me anywhere else they searched for me near the river, and they always found me there. My father told me, "Remember one thing: when the river is...
