... Available: N.A. Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. Question 1: BELOVED MASTER, THE OTHER DAY, WHEN YOU SAID WE LOOK LIKE GAUTAM BUDDHAS WHEN WE LAUGH, A BIG LET-GO HAPPENED DEEP INSIDE ME AND I CRIED FOR A LONG TIME. TODAY I FEEL VERY FRAGILE AND THE CRYING OFTEN COMES BACK. I CANNOT EVEN MEDITATE. ALSO THERE IS SOME FEAR. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING? ALSO, IS THERE AN AUSTRALIAN JOKE? Deva Riktam...

... are coming again and again because you have missed a great opportunity. The first tears had a different quality; they were flowers of joy. The second layer of tears is just a deep hurt, a wound that you missed. You are saying, "I cannot even meditate." For the same reason, because in meditation what I said may become clear to you, and again the fragileness... "Also there is some fear...

... and my home is within me." Just don't get mistaken that homes are outside you, and that you go in and you come out. The home we are talking about is inside you, so wherever you go the home goes with you. You cannot leave it anywhere because you are not separate from it. So coming home means only a glimpse, and a very superficial glimpse. If you meditate, and intensively, on awareness, you will...
... not that one who cannot sit in a lotus posture cannot meditate, meditation will be a little difficult but the lotus posture is only helpful, not absolutely needed. And for the people from colder countries where sitting on the ground is not possible -- their bodies for centuries; their parents and their parents' parents from Adam and Eve... Have you seen any picture of Adam and Eve sitting in a lotus...

... never sat, then it will unnecessarily create trouble; your body structure has taken a certain mode. It is better to follow the body and its wisdom: use a chair. The whole thing is you should be comfortable so that the body does not draw your attention. That's why tension has to be avoided, because if you have a headache then it will be difficult to meditate. Again and again, your attention will go to...

... ants, you idiot... we haven't left the ground yet!" Hymie Goldberg was so interested in watching the pretty girls going up and down the aisle, he had completely forgotten that the airplane was still standing -- it had not moved! So looking at the ants, he thought they must be people from such a height. That's why you meditate with closed eyes! Question 2: BELOVED OSHO, HOW YOU TALK ABOUT THE...
... cannot last. Then help him to meditate. Tell him, "This has nothing to do with sannyas. You can meditate. Particularly it is good when you are old and you have missed the chance to die, and you are ten years late. This will help you to become silent, to be peaceful. And if death comes there will be no fear about it." So help him to learn vipassana - the simplest thing. Say, "Just watch...

... what is wrong in it. And make a communion possible again. Sit by his side and help him to meditate. There is no problem if you go joyously and he can see that you are happy, that whatever path you have chosen has made you joyous, more independent, has given you a certain integrity - that it has not enslaved you, but has made you more free than you ever were before. He will be happy. And he is an old...
.... As soon as the burden is felt, you should know that the balance is lost. You must set about to restore it, by adding the necessary weight, wherever it is required. If the intellect is heavy, do something irrational - meditate. Meditation is not reason. It is irrational. So when someone asks me to explain meditation, I am at a loss! Simply because you cannot understand meditation. You can do it and...

... achieved. It WILL work. You will not have to work. It will gather people there. They will come by themselves. They will ask. Let them plan. You just go and meditate. Things will begin to happen. They must happen. Only then they have a beauty of their own - a beatitude, otherwise not. Business is always tiring. It has no beauty, no joy. Meditation is not a business. Yet it has been converted into a...

.... If you plan, then it will not be my work at all. That way, you will be merely distracting yourself and others. You will not be a help to others in meditation if you yourself are tense. You cannot help. You will be helpful only if you go without planning. Just go. Sit there. Meditate and see what happens. Things are bound to take their own course. Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
... understanding if I cannot share it? And what use is my experience if I cannot help those who are groping in the dark?" The mystic's greatest problem, greater than attaining his experience, is to express it. There is a story about Gautam Buddha. Every night his disciples, before going to sleep, had to meditate. And it was a very significant thing, because if you can go into sleep with a silent, peaceful...

... at your door. It means you can use six or eight hours of sleep in a tremendously creative way. And the most significant will be to go into sleep, slip into sleep, meditatively. Meditation slowly, slowly becomes your sleep, and then your sleep becomes meditation. And to meditate eight hours or six hours is going to change you so totally, without any effort, that you will be surprised: you have not...

... devote to meditation. But anyway you have to sleep - why not transform your sleep into meditation? That was a great contribution of Gautam Buddha. So it was customary for his disciples.... Hence, he never used to say after his evening talk, "Now go and meditate before you fall asleep." Rather than saying that, he used to say - it had become a code, because every evening it was repeated...
... you beyond death, beyond time.' And you meditate. It will depend on you, much will depend on you, on how you behave. If you are non-tense, unworried, and he can feel your silence, and he can feel your centre of tranquillity.... Just sit by his side, remember me, and just sit silently. He will be able to feel that you are not only his son - something more has happened to you. He will be able to feel...

... that you have come with a message. For the first time you will be able to communicate with him. And that will give some roots to you also, because one has to come to a reconciliation with one's own parents. Otherwise something remains like a hangup. So make it a complete circle: he has given you life - you take a message to him of another life. He has given you birth - help him to meditate so he can...
... capital 'M'. That is the meaning of... Mandip. Varuna is the name of the sky god. In the East we have been thinking in terms of gods - everything is divine, so the sun is a god, the moon is a goddess, the sky also has its own god. That god is called Varuna. It is one of the most beautiful things to meditate upon because it has no form. The sun has a form, the moon has a form, but the sky has no form, it...

... are right, on the right track: meditate but contribute something to the society too. And if it can be done playfully, then it is not business; then it is meditation. And that's what I would like my commune to become slowly, slowly. We have to do many things. This commune has to be utterly creative, but the creation has not to become work - that is the whole point. It has to be playful, sincere but...
... as deep as the sky. This is the message.... And meditate on the sky as much as you can, mm? It will come closer - just befriend it. [The new sannyasin says he has been a 'serious student' of Ken Keyes who wrote 'Handbook to Higher Consciousness' and developed the Living Love method.] Write to him! He sends his books to me and he seems to be very interested.... Just write to him some time. He should...

... come and be here for a few months, mm? he will enjoy it. He is a really good man.... That's very good, to be related to him is good. All his 'serious students' are going to come to me sooner or later. [A sannyasin says he is interested in mime. Osho says mime can be of tremendous benefit and a great way to meditate. If you become absorbed in what you are doing a great silence descends in your being...
... the end, you become totally yourself. Start from society and reach to yourself. Don't escape from the community - live in the world but don't be of it. Be related, but still remain alone. Love and meditate. Meditate and love. Whatsoever happened before is not the question; whatsoever follows is not the question. Meditate and love if you are a man, love and meditate if you are a woman - but don't...
... and all the ecstasies of enlightenment. He has to -- otherwise who has time to meditate? Television is there, football matches are going on.... The world all around is so full of idiots doing all kinds of gymnastics: boxers are boxing, actors are acting -- who has time for meditation, and for what? If I don't talk about enlightenment, then naturally you will ask me, "Why should I meditate?"...

... reasonable statement? It is a very unreasonable, almost insane world in which you are living. If you can manage just to meditate, you have done more than is expected of the contemporary man. And your meditation is going good. Just go on saying, "Good Lord!" In meditation there never comes any cliff. You don't have to remember "Amen" -- there is no need. Meditation slowly, slowly turns...

... very high-class family in Delhi. She had come here to meditate, but got infatuated with the idea.... He bribed her, he blackmailed her by telling her that he was a director -- and he is a director, and a good director -- that he will make her a heroine in his films. This idea was the bribe, so she was immediately ready to marry him. He got married to her, and after the marriage he sent her back to...
