Osho

... committed suicide with my death. That's why they are trying other ways to prevent me from reaching people, because killing has been tried in the past; it has not succeeded. al-Hillaj Mansoor's message became engraved in the sky. There have been many Sufis, but nobody is remembered like Mansoor. Jesus Christ would not have even been known if they had been a little patient and ignored him. But they were too...

... isolated. Then nobody is blamed for my death - and isolation becomes almost like a death. I left India, thinking there may be some country courageous enough, but there seems to be no country courageous enough. In fact there are not many countries in the world... that is my experience from going around the world. There are only two countries, America and the Soviet Union - and there are puppets which...
...." I said, "Then why don't you sacrifice your father? Why take any risk? Sacrifice your children, sacrifice your wife, sacrifice yourself and go directly to heaven, because if you die a natural death there is no certainty. You may go to hell! Be compassionate to your old father." He said, "What kind of man are you?" I said, "I am simply giving you advice. If you are...

..., homosexuality... and it has finally produced AIDS, which is another name of a slow death for which there is no cure. That certain sect in Russia was the most respected sect of the Christians. Every year at Christmas time they would gather in their churches and they would cut off their genital organs. Men could cut off their genital organs; women could not remain behind, so they started cutting off their...
... defeat me? You can only have the pleasure of defeating me if I struggle with you. I lie down and request you to come and sit on me. I am defeated; you will be victorious. But you will look childish and foolish, because the whole pleasure of victory is in the fighting, in subduing someone. And I am already subdued... There is a saying of Mansoor: "Death is impossible for me, because I have accepted...

... it." It will be so, it is so. Death exists because of your fear of death. It cannot exist it you accept it, if you are ready to meet it, to invite it and embrace it. That is the reason why the Upanishads speak in paradoxes. They say that if you want to enjoy, renounce; if you want to be in bliss, then be happily miserable. Then opposite must not be denied. Somewhere it must be accepted and...
... absolute; otherwise one will simply die, immediately. So one thing, remember, stop exaggerating. That is also a way of the ego. The ego is so strange that it wants to exaggerate everything. Even if it is misery it will magnify it, it will make a big fuss about it. There may be nothing much in it: if you go to the roots you may find a mouse, but you are talking about elephants. And I know you, Vandan. I...

... is it that you are calling "utterly miserable"? And then you will find ordinary facts of life. But we don't want to be ordinary. The ego hankers to be extraordinary. Even if it is misery we would like to be extraordinary. Somebody asked George Bernard Shaw, "Where would you like to go when you die, to heaven or to hell?" He said, "Wherever it is, that does not matter. What...

... is to experience truth in its eternity. Then you are beyond death and beyond time. Ego is the only barrier. But don't fight with it - spiritual or worldly, it is the same. Create more consciousness, be more meditative. Meditation is the only medicine. Both the words come from the same root: 'meditation' and 'medicine' - because meditation also is a medicine. It heals you, it cures you from the...
... nothing; that is immaterial. One day he was going to die, so how he dies doesn't matter much. The body had to be left. Whether it is left on the cross or sleeping in a bed makes not much difference. It is irrelevant in a way. But the real death happened through Christianity. They killed the very spirit - but they think they are helping to spread his message. Misunderstanding is the whole history of the...
.... Audio Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. I AM THE BRAHMAN KNOWN BY THE WHOLE VEDANTA (THAT WHICH IS BEYOND ALL KNOWLEDGE). AND I AM NEITHER ETHER NOR AIR, NOR ANYTHING THAT I APPEAR TO BE. I AM NEITHER FORM, NOR NAME, NOR ACTION, BUT ONLY BRAHMAN WHICH IS SATCHIDANANDA EXISTENCE, AWARENESS, AND BLISS). I AM NOT THE BODY, SO HOW CAN I BE SUBJECT TO BIRTH AND DEATH? I AM NOT THE VITAL...

... simultaneously. Darkness and light are just two aspects of one thing. Birth and death - two aspects of one thing. That's why the UPANISHADS are called the secret doctrine. Secret and open at the same time - simultaneously, because "doctrine" means open, a known thing, and "secret" means something unknown. So it is better to call it an open secret. It is open for everyone; but it is a secret...
... inches below the navel; there is the source of life and death - when it starts coming out of the hara, it is too much, mm? it is unbearably there. One can feel very heavy. One does not know what to do, one feels as if one is going crazy, but by and by it spreads all over the body. And when it has spread all over the body in equal proportions it gives a new kind of feel, a very orgasmic feel to the body...

... has come through the group - that it will not happen through the group. This is a good insight... it may be true!.... It is getting closer, mm? Before death happens one has to get ready for it. [A journalist, who came to do an article on Osho, has decided to take sannyas.] Good! I was waiting and waiting for you!... I recognise my people when they come to me. And it is very natural to hesitate, very...
... authentic person will never promise anything - because how can one promise? One is so helpless; who knows about tomorrow? You may die! She may die! She may fall in love with somebody else - she is an alive person, mm? So just no promises, mm? Good! [The Encounter group is present. One member said he had a pattern, in everything he did, of only going so far and then cutting off.] It is a pattern of almost...
... death of that boy, you may call Buddha, or you may choose something else, or you may choose not to call it anything. I simply don't exist the way you knew me. I would have loved to, but what can I do? I died." He said, "See? I'm talking seriously and you are making a joke out of it." "I am doing my best, but," I told him, "it is not only you who remembers. Whenever I have...

... ancient. I have visited museums, all kinds of collections of old objects, but I have never come across anything more prehistoric than Mannulal. He was coming! I ran out just in time to prevent him from entering the house. He said to me, "I had to come to find you, because you were trying not to come to see me. And you know that I am an old man. I may die tomorrow, who knows? I just wanted to see...
... consists in keeping oneself separate. And then we suffer, because existence no more nourishes us. We shrink and slowly slowly we die because we lose roots in existence. A tree has to be surrendered to the earth, to the sun, to the wind; only in that surrender can a tree bloom. If it shrinks back from the earth, is afraid of merging into the earth, then it will not grow. If it is afraid of the sky and the...

... above in the sky; it is just underneath your feet. You are standing on it, you are standing in it, you have never left it; your mind has just started wandering, dreaming. And once you have tasted a few moments of such blissfulness the whole life is a celebration, nothing but celebration. There is no birth, no death - only celebration that goes on and on forever. But only those who know the art of...
