...-called saints are all miserable. I have come across thousands of your saints - Hindu, Jaina, Buddhist, Mohammedan, Christian - and they are all miserable. They are all hoping to be rewarded after death. Real religion is instant: here you become conscious and immediately misery disappears. You need not wait for the other life, you need not wait for tomorrow even. And that's what Buddha means when he...
... says: Be quick in doing good. The greatest good is to be conscious - because all other goods are born out of it. Being conscious is the source of all goodness, all virtue. The third question: Question 3: BELOVED MASTER, WHEN I HEAR YOU SPEAK ON LOVE AND MEDITATION, OR SEX AND DEATH, SAYING THEY ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME ENERGY, SOMETHING IN ME KNOWS IT IS TRUE. BUT, ALTHOUGH DRAWN BY BOTH ASPECTS, I...
... lives!" And if their prayers are fulfilled then there is no hope. But at least one can postpone: "After death.... This life is finished, nothing can be done. Now this woman or this man is my fate." So accept it and console yourself. Remain contented. Hope for the best and expect the worst! But in India people seem to be more at ease because they know: "This woman is creating...
... vegetate, which will be far more ugly than to crucify a man. When you crucify a man you cannot humiliate him. He can keep his pride, he can keep his head high: "Okay, you crucify me, so you crucify me - but you are not forcing me to change my spirit or my ideas or my vision of life. I am ready to sacrifice." One can die with dignity - Socrates died with dignity, Jesus died with dignity - but in...
... it and ask, 'What is ecstasy? What is music? Define your terms clearly. I don't believe in any ecstasy. It is all foolishness, all illusion. And music is nothing but noise.' "Do this with everything, and after seven days come to me. Be negative, ask questions - questions which cannot be answered: What is beauty? What is love? What is ecstasy? What is life? What is death? What is God?"...
... values man has lived for are worthless - but now we are in difficulty, in deep anguish. Life has become more and more impossible for us. We go on living only because we are cowards; otherwise we have destroyed all the reasons to live. We go on living because we cannot commit suicide; we are afraid of death, hence we go on living. We live out of fear, not out of love. It is better to be positive...
... winter, life and death... all dualities. Duality as such has to be dropped, because you are beyond duality. The moment you start moving away from both yes and no, you will have your first glimpses of the ultimate. Hence the ultimate remains absolutely inexpressible; you cannot say no, you cannot say yes. Gautama the Buddha never said no to God, never said yes to God. He seems to be the only person in...
.... Death destroys nothing. The body is dust and falls into dust, and the consciousness has two possibilities: if it still has desires then it will move into another womb, or if all the desires have disappeared then it will move into the womb of God, into eternity. Nothing is destroyed. The body again becomes part of the earth, goes into rest, and the soul moves into the universal consciousness or moves...
... health. They were treated like dogs, not like human beings. And had they remained Hindus they would have died like dogs, dying on the street corner. You don't know, because that is not the way in the West. In the West, dogs have a better death, a better life, because any dog who is not owned by somebody is to be killed. The dog has to be owned by somebody, a collar proclaiming the ownership. But in the...
... listen there is something more to it, a new layer, a new meaning - not only in the words but in the voice, its subtle nuances. The song is simple but profound, immensely profound. She is singing a song which means, "Just let me get ready...." She is talking to death. It is understood, it is not said in the song, but she is saying to death, "Just wait a little. Let me sing my last song...
...." This very idea, to say to death, "Just wait a little, and let me sing my last song.... I have lived in sadness and sorrow so long. Let me dance a little before I join you. I have been crying and weeping; my whole sari is soaked with my tears. Just wait a little. Let me at least dry my sari, let me at least regain, remember, recall my smile. Just a little... so that I can get ready. I would...
... inner growth. Real knowing is part of growth. Grow. Each moment go on growing, expanding, exploding. Each moment should be a new birth. Why is it not so? Because you go on carrying the past with you. If you want each moment to be a new birth, you have to die also each moment to the past. Die to the past so that you can be reborn herenow. All knowledge is of the past. Mind is always of the past...
..., nearer than the nearest, and farther than the farthest. Because god is both - the near and the far. He has to be both because he is all. God is both life and death. He has to be both. God is both devil and god. He has to be both. The english word 'devil' is very beautiful. It comes from a root, a sanskrit root, 'deva'. From the same root 'deva', comes 'divine'. And from the same root comes 'devil...
... emptiness, and your real life is possible only through death. Resurrection happens only after crucifixion. If you really want to be alive, be as if you are dead. If you really want to be intelligent, live as if you are an idiot. Lao Tzu has said, 'The whole world is wise except me. I am an idiot." The word 'idiot' is beautiful. It comes from the same root as the word 'idiom'. Idiom is a personal...
... lying in those first four years. Over the years that seed has become a tree, but its roots are in the childhood. If we dig down to those roots and cut them away, the whole tree will die. Hence the preoccupation of psychoanalysis with childhood. The unconscious is created out of repression. Repression is the child of nonacceptance. Your impulses are lying hidden in your unconscious. Everything that is...
... your original face." When you were born you had no inkling of life and death, right and wrong; neither was there fear or hatred, attachment or freedom, nor were you worldly or religious. At the moment of your birth you were like pure water, with not even a hint of any impurity. Religiousness is the name given to the regaining of that clarity, and religion is its process. So when you become a...
... before they are thirty-five, like Shankaracharya and others, die young. People who become enlightened after they are thirty-five, their bicycle continues running on its own momentum; life is now on a downhill course. So Mahavira and Buddha lived till they were eighty. Once life is traveling downhill, it can run for much longer without you pedaling. Even though you have become only a witness, the dance...
... ocean, gone in the fusion of is and is not. The soul is not, because now there is no center of ego, of I. The soul is, because there is no way for what is to die! The soul becomes one with the great centerless void. You as you are will not remain; only as the whole you will remain. This is the goal, this is what we seek. Enough for today.

...: pm in Lao Tzu Grove Archive Code: N.A. Short Title: N.A. Audio Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. Question 1: OSHO, HOW CAN WE BELIEVE THAT THE SOUL EXISTS AFTER DEATH AND TRANSMIGRATES TO ANOTHER FORM OF LIFE, OR DISSOLVES INTO THE UNIVERSE? I have never asked you to believe in anything. It is my experience that the soul exists after death, that it transmigrates into other forms of...
... behind it is always to inspire you - not to believe in a dogma, but to go on in search. If I say the soul exists after death, it is only a hypothesis for you. For me this is an experience. I don't believe in it: I know it, and I will tell you how I know it. When I say that the soul finally dissolves into the universe, it is not a hope for me. I know it; it has happened. I am no longer separate from...
... university, because young people are more generous; older people slowly become more miserly, more afraid. Death is coming close by; now money seems to be the only thing that can help. And if they have money then others may help also; if they don't have money, even their own sons, their own daughters, won't bother about them. Young people can be spendthrifts. They are young, they can earn; life is there, a...
... a hundred girls. By the time they reach the age of marriage, fifteen boys have died. Nature has to give birth to more males because a few of them are going to die. Women live longer than men, almost five years more; that's why you see so many widows in the world. And women are more resistant to illness, disease. Women are more tolerant, more accepting. From where comes this strength? -- it comes...
... egg, not all. Only one is going to be the Nobel Prize winner. The real Olympics start there! And it is a life and death question, it is not ordinary. And great is the competition -- millions of sperms fighting, rushing -- one will reach. Sometimes it happens that two reach at the same time, hence twins are born. Because once one sperm has entered, then the door is closed. Sometimes two sperms reach...
... created mobs, and they have destroyed individuals. Bauls are rebellious about it. He who has seen the beauty of the Beloved friend can never forget it. The form is for seeing but not for discourse, as beauty has no comparison. He who has seen that form flashing on the mirror, the darkness of his heart is gone. He lives with his eyes focused on the form, careless of the river between life and death. His...
... moving: if you start praying, if you start dancing, if you start singing in His name, He arrives. Do you wish to visit my inner home and drink nectar, my heart? Will you not fail to enter where lovers march in a joyous carnival singing of love? Then walk the way with a lamp of beauty, leaving behind this greed, that lust, the ways of the world, and all qualities. Blames and violence, old age and death...
... sex, you live through sex; your birth is through sex, your youth is through sex, your love is through sex, and your death is going to happen through sex. Your whole life is a sexual affair. One should be very very alert and watchful of what one is going to do with one's sex energy. Question 4: BELOVED MASTER, YOUR IDEAS SEEM TO BE CRAZY! Thank you for the compliment. They don't SEEM to be crazy...
... -- friends, relatives, children, husband, wife -- and we try to hide behind these things. But death comes and destroys all, and suddenly we are naked in our outsiderness. No, in this world you cannot be an insider unless you have moved into God. This world belongs to God. Only by belonging to God do you become part of this existence -- otherwise not. These trees will remain strangers to you and so will...
... better friendships, you will have better lovers, you will have better relationships -- because a man who is ready to move into the unknown, naturally moves into love... because love is the stuff the universe is made of. Sannyas is nothing but learning the ways of love. God is another name for love. And sannyas is a readiness to dissolve into a loving universe. Fear is there because it is like death...
.... Sannyas is suicide, death: the past is destroyed -- but only then the new is born. When YOU cease to be, you allow God to be. There is no other way. The Divine Melody Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... have forgotten when it began. It is as old as the creation itself; it has gone very deep - its roots have gone very deep. Now all that is changing. The old is dying, and you are acquainted only with the old, hence you will feel like a death is happening. But if you look to the new, which is very fresh, just like a breeze, just like a dewdrop, just like a newly opening bud of a rose, very fresh...
....... You are not yet fully aware of it; it is so new, you will need a little time to be introduced to it, to become acquainted with it. But it is happening because both these processes happen simultaneously. The death of the old and the birth of the new are two sides of the same coin. If you start looking at the new then you will feel at home. That too is happening: in a very very vague way you are...
... death, of non-being, of becoming nothing on your own accord, of disappearing into the whole, into the harmony of the whole. But it is a miracle, the greatest paradoxical experience of life. There is no contradiction in it, but there is a paradox. Seen from the intellectual standpoint, there is a paradox. You ask: HOW DOES IT HAPPEN THAT I FEEL SO AT HOME AND SO LOST IN THIS BUDDHAFIELD? That's how it...
... mathematics - you will have to learn a little poetry, a little music, a little dance. You will have to go beyond the calculative mind. You will have to take a little jump into the illogical, into the paradoxical. And of course habits die hard so I can understand your problem. Mathematics is pure logic, it is nothing but logic, and sannyas is very illogical - or if you like big words, then it is supralogical...
... are intrigued by the very idea, they start wondering whether they can manage it. Fear grips them. They come to the very edge of the nest - watch - they look around. It seems difficult, it seems impossible - they are so small and they have never done such a thing before. Who knows? - they may not be able to manage, they may fall, they may die; this may prove suicidal. Then the mother goes and sits on...
..., he sleeps the way you sleep, he dies the way you die. The only difference is that he has become aware of his infinite potential and you are not aware of your infinite potential. There is no difference in the potential, but you are unaware and he is aware; that's the only difference. Of course it is a difference that makes a difference, but it is not a difference that can make him a separate...
... PROFESSIONS, NUMEROUS AVOCATIONS AND AN UNSUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE. JOY AND SATISFACTION HAVE NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE, EXCEPT FOR MOMENTARY GLIMPSES. I AM QUIETLY DESPERATE. PLEASE COMMENT OR TELL SOME APPROPRIATE JOKES. Apurvo, HEINRICH HEINE SAYS: Sleep is good, death is better; but of course the best thing would be never to have been born at all." Life certainly is a problem, and particularly in New York...
... meaninglessness remains, the same hollowness; nothing changes at all. The life is gone, death is knocking on the doors, and nothing is fulfilled. That's why people become religious. People become religious out of misery; hence the priests have a vested interest in your misery, remember it. They would not like your life to be happy, joyous. If you are joyous, blissful, all of their religions will disappear...
