Osho
... thanking him. He said only one thing to me: "I have only done my duty. I ask just one favor. When I die, will you give the fire at my funeral?" In India, it is thought to be of great importance. If a man is without a son, he suffers his whole life, because who will give the fire at his funeral? It is called "giving the fire." When he asked me, I said, "Baba, I have my own father...
..., so I have to give the fire. As far as your death is concerned, don't be worried, my younger brother will be there. I will also be present, but not as your son." I don't know why I said this, and what he might have thought, but it proved true. I was present when he died. In fact I had called him to live here, just so that I did not have to go up to the town where he lived. I never wanted to go...
... there again after my grandmother's death. That was another promise. I have to fulfill so many promises, but up to now I have successfully fulfilled a major part of them. There are only a few promises which remain to be fulfilled. I had told my father, and I was present at his funeral, but could not give the fire. And certainly I was not present as his son. When he died he was my disciple, a sannyasin...
... took twenty-four hours or more to die. There have been cases of people having survived for three days on the cross, the Jewish cross I mean, because they simply nailed the man by his hands and his feet. The blood has the capacity to clot; it flows for a while, then it clots. The man is, of course, in immense pain, in fact he prays to God, "Please let it be finished." Perhaps that is what...
... Jesus was saying when he said, "They don't know what they are doing. Why have you forsaken me?" But the pain must have been too much, for he finally said, "Let thy will be done." I don't think that he died on the cross. No, I should not say that "I don't think..." I know that he didn't die on the cross. He had said, "Let thy will be done"; that's his freedom. He...
... black is too sun-tanned, burned. There is no question of depth, it is death. But Kashmiris are exactly in the middle; they are white people, very beautiful people, sun-tanned from their very birth; and they are Jews. I have seen Jesus' grave in Kashmir, where he escaped to after his so-called crucifixion. I say so- called because it was managed so well. The whole credit goes to Pontius Pilate. And...
... desire in her to dominate the country. She has tasted power for a long time. In these fifteen years she will be getting older, wiser; she will be getting closer to her death. And she is a woman, and up to now she has proved very intelligent, broad-minded. There is every possibility that a benevolent dictatorship can function through her. It cannot function through a man like Morarji Desai. He is a...
... CAN become rich because the land is rich, its potential is great. Just a little less population... So two things have to be done. One is birth control: nobody should be allowed to have children unless the medical board of the city or the town or the village approves. Secondly, euthanasia: old people who want to die should be given the freedom to die. These are two sides of the same coin: stop new...
.... BEFORE ANY SIGNS BECOME DISTINCT, BEFORE ANY ILLUSTRATION IS EVIDENT, CONCENTRATE FIERCELY, LOOKING, LOOKING, COMING OR GOING, TILL YOUR EFFORT IS COMPLETELY RIPE. IN THE MOMENT OF A THOUGHT, YOU ATTAIN UNION. THE MIND OF BIRTH AND DEATH IS DESTROYED AND SUDDENLY YOU CLEARLY SEE YOUR ORIGINAL APPEARANCE, THE SCENE OF YOUR NATIVE LAND; EACH PARTICULAR DISTINCTLY CLEAR. YOU THEN SEE AND HEAR JUST AS THE...
... a question of a moment, the blink of an eye, and you have found the union with existence. THE MIND OF BIRTH AND DEATH IS DESTROYED AND SUDDENLY YOU CLEARLY SEE YOUR ORIGINAL APPEARANCE, THE SCENE OF YOUR NATIVE LAND; EACH PARTICULAR DISTINCTLY CLEAR. YOU THEN SEE AND HEAR JUST AS THE BUDDHAS DID, KNOW AND ACT AS THE ENLIGHTENED ANCESTORS DID. Knowing the source of your life, and taking a quantum...
... puts God out of the way. It is unnecessary luggage. Zen has taken only the essential point, and that is the source of your life. Just go deepening on that road so that you can reach the final transformation, from the individual to the universal. Just before his death Basui turned to the crowd that had gathered around and said in a loud voice: LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD. WHAT IS THERE? IF YOU SEE IT AS IT IS...
... their honeymoon ... just get your own boat and go on a honeymoon too. Why are you wasting your life unnecessarily in those dark holes, when others are enjoying the fresh air on the river? The idea seems to be good. "Rats are an omen of death in Austria. In other places they are a good omen. In Zoroastrianism the rat is an evil animal, and the killing of one rat equals in merit the slaying of four...
... so enraged that he pulls out his pistol, puts it against Sluggo's head and says to Father Finger, "Tell him that if he does not say where that million dollars is, I will finish him right here!" "Did you say one million dollars?" asks Father Finger. "Yeah, that's right," shouts the fuming ganglord, waving his gun madly. "Now tell him to talk, or die!" Finger...
... the body to be frozen. No movement ... Just settle in, deeper and deeper. This is the only temple. This silent space is the only buddha. This is it! Remember. To make it more clear, Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Relax, let go, just be a watcher. The body is there, the mind is there, you are simply aware of them. This awareness is beyond life and death. This awareness is the meaning of the word 'buddha...
... safest place is the grave, where no disease happens - no hepatitis, no AIDS, no homosexuality, no crime, no rape, no murder - nothing happens. You are absolutely secure... and you cannot even die. One death is enough; after that there is no question of death. But do you want to choose a grave? Those who have chosen fear have chosen a psychological grave. My effort here is to bring you out of all kinds...
... is no meaning in his life. Nobody pays attention to him, nobody communicates with him. It does not matter whether he lives or not. If he dies nobody is going to shed a single tear for him. That idea itself kills him. But it is the idea - "If I die somebody will miss me, somebody will come and sit by my cradle and weep" - that revives the spirit. So, attention is a very psychological...
... because he has suffered much. The first woman he loved, he could not get. And now I should not make more suffering for him. It is better I should die." I said, "This is nonsense - you have your own life." She said, "I don't; I am only a substitute. When he hugs me I know whom he is really hugging. He does not give me any warmth. When he loves me I know whom he is really loving, and...
... can watch - because shadows cannot go into the unconscious; shadows don't have any existence. If you are watchful, aware, the shadow will die, disappear. But first let the elephant go. You are keeping the elephant in. You can hide the elephant inside, but for how long? And you will be carrying the elephant and its weight all the time. In each of your actions it will have some influence. You will do...
.... They were dangerous because they bring changes - and the larger part of humanity is more afraid of change than of death, because death is a release, a deep sleep, but a change is a trouble. Three thousand years ago China developed printing presses. But they never used them widely; they were used only for the royal families. The ordinary masses continued to write their books with their own hands. It...
... yourself quickly to a new situation. That will give you a flexibility, that will make you more alive. You will have to find ways that you have never tried before, because situations have changed. And if you are going to change continually you will live, in one life, a thousand lives, and your life will become, not a stale repetition of the same from birth to death, but every day a new sunrise and every...
... Auditorium Archive Code: 8710025 Short Title: PILGR26 Audio Available: Yes Video Available: Yes Length: 81 mins Question 1: BELOVED OSHO, I HEARD YOU SAY THAT SOMEONE WHO IS NOT YET PREPARED FOR ENLIGHTENMENT MIGHT DIE FROM THE EXPERIENCE. I BELIEVE IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE EXPERIENCE REMAINS A SHORT SATORI AND THE PERSON COMES BACK TO HIS NORMAL STATE. THIS IS MY OWN EXPERIENCE. I WAS IN A STATE OF...
... your mind. Your mind is inherently capable of dreaming about everything. It can dream about satori, it can dream about samadhi, in a dream it can become the Buddha -- but the dream cannot last long. Even half an hour is too much! But you seem to have fallen into the trap of the mind. You say, "I have heard you say that someone who is not yet prepared for enlightenment might die from the...
... absorb it. Preparedness is needed not to achieve enlightenment, but so that when it comes, you don't fall apart but you remain centered and silent and peaceful and let the great experience happen. But it does not destroy you. Your preparedness is necessary to save your life from the great experience, which is almost like fire. Unless you are prepared, enlightenment and death are almost simultaneous...
..., you become silent, you become receptive, you become wordless ... your whole mind comes to a full stop, and then what is left is the truth. To be showered with that experience is to be transformed into a new being. It is true resurrection. And is true because now you will never die, now you will never know death. Now you will always know what life, eternal life, is. And it is not going to be only...
... about it, but suddenly your perception of the world will change. Your ambitions for power will disappear; your ambitions for money will disappear; your delusions about beauty will disappear. You will see beauty in a totally different way. You will see life not as surrounded by death. This whole world will remain the same, but for you, it will not be the same anymore, because you have changed. Your...
