..., it is not revolutionary. But the idea of a new man is dangerous because it requires guts. Its basic requirement is that you have to die to the old and you have to be born anew - it is a rebirth. Hence I am opposed. And it is not only here that I am opposed and decried, I will be opposed and decried anywhere else in the world; even if I am in Florida the same will happen. In fact, there is more...
... insisted that first you have to die to the past, only then can a new consciousness arise in you. He was crucified. Socrates was talking about a new man, remember. These are the differences. Why was Socrates killed? Athens was one of the most cultured cities of those days; in fact, not only of those days, but even today no city compares with Athens. Twenty-five centuries have passed, but neither New York...
... Bhushan, is dangerous. A new man means cutting away totally from the past, disrupting, uprooting yourself completely from the past, dying to the past and living in the present. And old habits die very hard. We have become accustomed to hearing about a better man; it has gone into the very circulation of our blood. Every saint, every mahatma talks about the better man; that's his business, we know. But...
..., old habits die hard - and our religions, our philosophies are very old, our styles of life are very old. And I am aU for the new. We think the old is gold - and I say the old is just junk! I agree with Henry Ford that history is bunk. It is all bullshit! We have to free man from all that has gone before, and we have to free man totally, absolutely, categorically. "Mummy, why did you marry daddy...
... you totally; that is inevitable. My work ends the moment the fire is on. Then the fire will do... You say: FOR DAYS NOW I HAVE BEEN ON FIRE INSIDE. I FEEL THE UNKNOWN IN PART OF ME, AND I AM AFRAID TO JUMP. It is natural to be afraid to jump. And to jump in fire is like killing yourself In a sense it is suicide: the ego is going to die. Hence the fear, because we have existed as an ego; that is our...
... identity. To drop it means death. The mind cannot conceive what else will be left once the ego is gone. The mind knows only the ego; it knows nothing behind, beyond. It knows nothing of the transcendental. The mind is part of ego, and when the ego starts dying the mind starts dying, and it creates all kinds of fears, anxieties. It is just a self-defense. But once the fire is on, the mind is finished. It...
... it accepts the night, then the logic starts disappearing. then the contradiction has happened, then the consistency is lost. If you accept only the flowers or only the thorns you will avoid the opposite, and life consists of polar opposites. Life cannot be consistent, remember it; only death is consistent. Hence logic is more in tune with death than in tune with life. Life is vast, it is so vast it...
... of doing and the doer, then you know that there is no doer and no doing -- only happenings. And once there is this revelation of eternal happening, there is no burden, there is no tension. Your birth is a happening, and your death will be a happening. Your being here is a happening, your not being here will be a happening. You are nowhere. From where does this ego come which thinks "I am"...
... love happened, I was not the doer. But the memory that "I loved" has happened just like birth, just like death. If a person can remember this only for twenty-four hours, that things are happening and there is no doer, he will not be the same again. But it is very arduous to remember even for a single moment. It is the most arduous thing to remember that events are happening and you are not...
... you will be tuned to the cosmos. Then you will be one. Oneness is important, not relationship. Relationship is sansar, the world, and because of relationship we have to be born again and again. Once you have known oneness, then there is no birth, then there is no death. Then there is no one except you. All are included. You have become the cosmic. The individual must go before the oneness comes. The...
..., you know with your bones, you know with your heartbeats. But if you understand, you understand only with the mechanism of the mind, which is not so deep. It is only a device, a utilitarian device which is needed to survive, which is needed to be related, but which becomes a barrier toward oneness and toward spiritual death and resurrection. It is only a natural device to survive. It is not meant to...
...: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. The first question: Question 1: OSHO, COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT INNOCENCE AND IGNORANCE? Chitprem, The difference between the two is immense; it is as vast as possible. It is the difference between darkness and light, the difference between death and life, the difference between unconsciousness and consciousness, the difference between hell and heaven...
... FRIGHTENING... Of course, because you have lived with ambition for so long, it has become your very lifestyle. You have become identified with it; you don't know any other way of living. I o drop it means as if you are dying. And in fact that's what has to be done by a sannyasin: he has to die in many ways before he can be reborn. And this is a must: that you should die as an ambitious person, you should...
... die as an ambitious mind completely, totally. Not even a trace of ambition should be left in you because even if a small trace is there it will start growing again. It is like a root: it will again sprout, again leaves will grow, again there will be foliage. It has to be completely thrown out of your being. Yes, it feels difficult, Latifa, very arduous, almost impossible in the beginning, because we...
... consciousness will be the death of all these so-called religions which have been exploiting humanity for thousands of years. What will happen to their churches, synagogues, temples? What will happen to their priesthood, their popes, their imams, their shankaracharyas, their rabbis? It is big business. And these people are not going to easily allow the true religion to be born. But the time has come in human...
... have renounced so many riches, but you have not renounced them unconditionally. You are bargaining; it is a business. You are purchasing in the other world. You are putting your bank balance from this world into the other world, transferring it. You are cunning: because this world is momentary - tomorrow you may die - and these other monks have been telling you the other world is eternal.... So what...
... talk?" Bodhidharma said, "Yes, this is the only way a religious person talks; all other ways are of people who want to cheat you. These monks here have been cheating you; they have been making promises to you. You don't know anything about what happens after death; nor do they, but they have been pretending that they Wu asked, "Who are you to speak with such authority?" And do you...
... popes die very quickly, for the simple reason that by the time they become popes they are almost dead. It takes such a long time to reach the Vatican, that if they survive a few years that is enough. Now after this pope whom are you going to choose? Can you find anybody else? I think Oregon will be good. After Poland, Oregon will be the right place. You can find far superior idiots here, but they will...
... not a thing that you can preserve. It disappears with the person who has experienced it. Can you preserve love? There may be two great lovers and you see the phenomenon of love happening; can you preserve this phenomenon? Those two lovers die; can you preserve that climate? - that transfiguration that was happening between those two persons? How can you? It is not a thing; you cannot hold it in your...
... man dies the people disperse - no tradition is created. That is a cult." What he is saying, I am also saying - exactly the same but for different reasons. He says, "If the cult survives the death of the founder, then it becomes a religion." When Jesus is alive it is a cult, because it is his charismatic personality.... When Jesus is dead then it becomes a religion... a very strange...
..., when your father is dead it is sad but a natural phenomenon. Everybody who is born is going to die. You say goodbye to him with all your gratitude. The same should be the case with every religious teacher. Jesus is perfectly good, but Christianity is a disease. Moses is perfectly good, but Judaism is a curse. And the same is true about all of the religions. The people at the very source were really...
... beautiful, but every beautiful flower dies. Even beautiful stars die and disappear, and don't leave even a single trace behind. So what is the need for any religious person to leave a tradition behind him? I am not going to leave a tradition behind me. While I am here, enjoy the moment. Celebrate the moment. Why be bothered for the future? And remember one thing: anybody who tries, after me, to make a...
... by forcing you are killing him. You are not giving birth to him, you are destroying him. The child who follows will look good - because he is dead. The child who is rebellious will look bad because he is alive. Because we have missed life ourselves, we are against life. Because we are already dead, dead before death, we always want to kill others. Subtle are the ways. In the name of love, you can...
... storm and from the sun and from the dangers that are always there outside. If you take the tree inside it will die. A hothouse plant is unnatural, and we all become hothouse plants because of over-protective parents. Don't protect the children. Don't leave them unprotected. Follow them like a shadow. Look after them, be careful and create a balance, so whenever it is so dangerous that they may die...
.... He was born there, he will die there. In America, every three years on average people move. This is the most nomadic civilization that has ever existed: vagabonds - no house, no family, no town, no village, no home really. In three years how can you get rooted? Wherever you go you are a stranger. The mass is around you but you are not related to it. You are unrelated, the whole burden becomes...
....... I am soaking in the pond. It is so beautiful. Om Mani Padme Hum Before birth I was okay. After death too I will be okay. In life the same okay continues. And the okay is perfect. Dogen sings in a haiku - Dogen is a saint.... Coming Going away The waterfowl leaves no trace behind Nor it needs a guide Om Mani Padme Hum. So beautiful... so tremendous... I am in the land of the buddhas. Again I can...
... millions of buddhas, only then a new man can be born. Only then can we make Christians disappear and Christs appear. The beginning of the buddhas will be the death of the Buddhists. I am a beginning and also an end. I am an end... end in the sense that after me there can be no Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Mohammedanism. After me there is no possibility of any ideology. With me ends the old and begins...
... sounds... but what intensity! What fire! What sacred fire! It is no ordinary fire, but a sacred fire which burns, and burns totally, leaving nothing behind... and yet you are reborn out of it. It is a mystery just like the mythological story of the phoenix - the story of a bird burning itself to death, and out of that death coming alive again and again, eternally. It is not just a myth. No myth is just...
... control methods." Nobody is listening. It is not that people don't understand what you are saying, not that they can't see the crowds growing in such proportions that soon this earth is going to die - not because of a nuclear war, but out of sheer starvation. But there must be something, so essential a need, that makes a person want children. And these are your inner psychic needs. The tail of a...
..., and the moment the young man lay down he saw a naked sword hanging by a thin thread just above him. All intoxication disappeared; suddenly he found that he was not in heaven. That sword.... Death can bring anybody back to earth from anywhere! "He asked the king, 'Why is this sword hanging here?' "The king said, 'This is hanging here to keep you conscious. This is your room - now, go to...
... said, 'Don't be worried. If you are finished off - your master must have been telling you about reincarnation - you will be reincarnated - a rebirth. And whatever you have learned will go with you. So don't miss these last moments. Perhaps it may fall - I cannot guarantee anything. It is up to you, what you make of these moments. Remain conscious, and if you die in consciousness, nothing can be...
... better than that.' "But the young man said, 'I don't want to die. I have come here just to get the clearance, and you are just clearing me away from life itself!' "The king said, 'This is the way one gets the clearance. You go to sleep: whatever is going to happen is going to happen - that's your master's teaching. That's what Hindus say: even a leaf does not move without God's will, so how...
... too." There is no God who can will your blissfulness. You are alone in existence. You come alone, you die alone. Between birth and death, of course you can deceive yourself that someone is with you - your wife, your father, your mother, your husband, your friend - but this is just make-believe. You come alone, you go alone; you are alone between birth and death. And I am not saying that you...
... failure, richness or poverty, sickness or health, life or death - everything is in the hands of an unknown power called fate. "I am doing my best, still I go on failing. I am following all the moral principles preached to me, still I am poor. And I see all kinds of immoral people becoming richer, getting higher, becoming famous. It is all fate." It gives you solace. It gives you solace that...
