Osho
... tension, it is desiring; it keeps the mind moving, it keeps the mind occupied. It keeps the mind alive, and the mind has to die for the truth to be. [Osho asks the new sannyasin if he would like to lead some groups after he has done a few. He replies: Oh no... I feel too inadequate to do that.] No, you will become adequate, I will make you adequate. I simply transform people. Ordinary people become...
... outer is completely forgotten and you have become oblivious of it, when your whole energy is pouring in, then that which has been asleep for ages is awakened. Just by the pouring of the energy it becomes awake. That awakening is wisdom. And in that awakening there is bliss, because in that awakening one knows that there is no death, no misery; all those were our self-creating nightmares, that we have...
... paint the Devil as black. Black means the absence of all colors -- absence of everything. Black is negative. Black is just nihilistic. Black means simply negativity. Black is death. That's why death is also painted black. And when you mourn for a person, you use black dress. White is the opposite polarity of black: black is the absence of all colors; white is the presence of all colors. White is an...
... woman, but to call Him 'She' will be too much. Just to compensate I call Him 'He' and 'Him'. God is more a mother than a father. God is more like a womb than anything else. Out of God we are born, and back into God we dissolve. He is our birth and He is our death. He is like the ocean: He 'waves' us, we become His waves; He absorbs us -- we disappear. He is compassion, love. All His qualities are...
... flat world, joyless, depth less, superficial. People's lives are just trivial. They live for money or for power, prestige - which are all meaningless. In the ultimate reckoning they carry no weight. Death comes and all money and all power and all prestige disappear - and you are thrown to the dustbin. Nobody ever remembers you again. You may have been a prime minister or a president of a country...
... - nobody cares a bit. You may have been the richest man in the world, but death is very communistic.Whether you are a beggar or a rich man, death treats everyone equally. It comes and destroys all, without any exception. People are living in a flat world. So when you start moving into the dimension of depth, you have to be a little alert - otherwise you will be in trouble from the outside. The inner joy...
... there. Death is there. But out of this death is resurrection, is rebirth. But if you go to the temples and the churches and the mosques, you will find a totally different kind of person praying there - he is cowardly. His God is out of fear. He is as ambitious as anybody else. He is seeking support of the God so that he can succeed in his ambition. He is not interested in God himself. He wants to...
... sharing his kingdom, his infinite treasure. Now just to be at his feet is more than anything else. What to say about being a part of the king's court? Even if it were proposed that he should become the king, he wouldn't listen. He HAS become the king - and of a kingdom that even death cannot take away. And to be at the feet of the Master is the greatest joy there is. It is heaven. In that love, in that...
... death. This means that the sun is ever present in our beings, he is a part of our bodies. As soon as he will lose his heat we will perish. The heat of the sun is the heat of our bodies. There is an ocean of air currents all around us from which we draw our vital energy - the life breath. If it ceases to be available to us we would die immediately. Where does the body end? If you investigate fully then...
... a meditation led by you and I heard someone crying which made me wary. I sat uptight lest I weep too. I was afraid of what people would say." I said to him, "What have you to do with people? Who are these people who are after everybody? They will not save you from death when you will come to death's door. And they will not share your misery when you will be in misery. And they will not...
... know that the first three of them are merely steps to meditation, not meditation itself. The fourth one is meditation. The fourth is the door, while the other three are doorsteps. Steps don't make for the door, they only lead to the door. The fourth stage is the door to meditation which is relaxation and rest, emptiness and void, surrender and cessation, dissolution and death, or whatsoever you call...
... you will also know that it was not you, but your body that became youthful; and again it is not you, but the body that is going to grow old. And if this awareness deepens you will also know that you are not going to die; only the body will die. When the body spins like a machine, you will know in depth, that the body is really separate from you. This you will know only when you absolutely let go of...
... we show our readiness to pay the price, the more worthy we become. The greatest price we pay is by our efforts for spiritual growth. Two days ago a lady came to me and said, "I am well advanced in years and am nearing death. When will I attain enlightenment? Please hurry and do something lest I die." I told her to come for meditation for a few days; then we would see what is to be done...
... within us. So the female body can absorb. Therefore, a woman needs a medium while the male body can transfer energy as well as receive grace. That is why men like Mahavira had to say that women will have to be reborn as men for the final attainment. This was one reason among many others. She cannot receive grace directly. It is not necessary that she should die to become a man. There are methods in...
... bigger and bigger, more and more golden - just to avoid the future that is coming every moment. And any moment it will grip the whole country. It happens almost always: when a person is dying, he starts thinking of the old beautiful days of childhood just to avoid the death that is approaching. It is said that if somebody is drowning, he starts seeing his whole life revealed like a film. What really...
... any hotel. It was such a problem. And we had to travel for thirty-six hours in the train, and he was starving and thirsty and he would not drink water. I tried in every way to persuade him. He said, "No. Who knows, if there are germs, then? It is better," he said, "to starve for thirty-six hours and not to eat. I am not going to die; don't be worried." But I could see the man was...
... is it going to help you? How is it going to make you free? It is not going to help you at all; you will remain in the same rut. You will go on moving in the same vicious circle of life and death. Gautam Buddha's mother has not yet become a Buddha; Mahavira's mother is still moving in the same vicious circle, has not yet attained, so that is not going to help you in any way. And remember, when a...
... when a cancer cell enters into your body and you become host to a cancer cell, it starts eating you up. And it simply goes on eating you up, and it never gives anything back. And it does not worry about any other cell in the body. Sooner or later it has eaten the host. And when the host dies, do you think the guest can live? The guest dies with the host. The cancer cell will have to die when the body...
... childhood will never be lost. It has been earned. It has come through the experiences, sweet and bitter and all. Buddhahood is similar to childhood, and yet not similar. A little boy was prodding his mother's bust and saying, "Mummy, what are these?" Now the mother was too shy to tell him the truth, so she replied. "They are balloons and when you die they get bigger and float you up to...
... heaven." The lad went away but a short while later he came rushing back in shouting, "Mummy, Mummy, the maid is dying." His mother was taken aback and asked why he should say that the maid was about to die. "Well," replied the lad, "both her balloons are out, Daddy is blowing them up and she keeps shouting 'God, I'm coming!"' A child is innocence. He does not know...
