... is no problem, because I never took all your advice seriously. I never bothered! Whatever I was going to do, I was going to do in spite of everything going against me! So don't feel guilty. I have never taken your advice seriously; I was hearing you, but not listening. I had a decision in me, a decisiveness." The process is very simple. Meditate, become more aware and then you will see...
... make me complete - I am complete." And the man has remained the same. All these years I have been getting information about him, asking other friends whether he has got married or not. They said, "No, he simply meditates. He has left his job. He said, 'I have earned enough money, I can live on the interest alone. I simply want to meditate. I simply want to go deeper into the mystery of life...
... tortured him so much that finally he said, "Whoever you are, I am your disciple! I have dropped the idea of choosing between Hindu and Mohammedan. One thing is certain that you are SOMETHING!" Just meditate, be aware. Choices will disappear. And a new kind of responsibility will arise which will not be imposed by the outside, which will be your own fragrance. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, HOW CAN...
... eyes, and both have their scriptures. Now, who to believe? Who is right?" I said, "There is no problem. On my own authority I say to you that he meditated with half closed eyes." He said, "My God! I never thought about it." I told him, "In fact, that is easier than with closed eyes. If you meditate with closed eyes the possibility is that you may fall asleep. If you...
... meditate with open eyes... you cannot meditate. Some woman passes and everything is disturbed and you cannot prevent it. You can close your eyes but you cannot prevent it. All kinds of things are moving all around, so the real meditator - to avoid the outside world and to avoid sleep - meditates with half open eyes. Half open eyes means he looks only four feet ahead, so he just finds a place where within...
... so miserly that just twenty minutes in twenty-four hours... not even twenty-four minutes! You have missed my basic standpoint completely. I don't want you to think of meditation within limits; I want meditation to become your very life. In the past this has been one of the fallacies: you meditate twenty minutes, or you meditate three times a day, you meditate five times a day - different religions...
... even more so - because it depends on you how much reality you allow to happen. And your questions will be answered. Be more meditative and then you are nearer to me. Once you are totally meditative, you are me. Then there is no difference. One thing more: the more you meditate, the less there will be to be asked. Questions will drop. Questions belong to a non-meditative state of mind. They arise in a...
... meditation - that's why he can achieve directly. He can be alone. He is alone deep down. Loneliness comes naturally to man. For a woman, to be alone is difficult, very difficult, almost impossible. Her whole being is a deep urge to love, and for love, the other is needed. How can you love if the other is not there? You can meditate if the other is not there - there is no problem. Woman, the female energy...
.... The totally opposite happens to a woman. She cannot meditate because her whole being is an urge towards the other. She cannot be alone. Whenever she is alone, she is in misery. So if you say: To be alone is bliss, to be alone is ecstatic - a woman cannot understand it. This emphasis on being alone has existed all over the world because of too many seekers who are men - a Buddha, a Mahavira, a Jesus...
... because you have never seen anything happening so easily, without effort, on its own accord. You can force yourself to sit in silence and remain awake. I don't teach that kind of vipassana. I teach a vipassana that follows you like a shadow, as a by-product of your total living. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, THE FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS THAT JESUS SPENT IN THE WILDERNESS - DID HE MEDITATE? - HE NEVER...
... MENTIONS MEDITATION IF HE HAD KNOWN OF IT. JUST WHAT DID HE GET UP TO OUT THERE? He did not meditate. If he could have meditated the shape of things in the world would have been different. What he did in those forty days and forty nights was prayer. Prayer to a god which he knows not. No one knows whether he exists or not. Millions of people have been praying and the sky remains utterly indifferent; no...
... have been saved from Christianity. That's why I say that he did not meditate and he has left the world in the hands of Christians who have done every crime against humanity and who are still doing every crime against humanity. Meditation cannot be violent. Even to convince you is not possible for the meditator. He can only communicate. He can only commune with you in a deep friendship and love, "...
..., since when he was a small child and I used to stay in their house in Calcutta. He wanted to become a sannyasin -- he had been here in the ashram before for a few days to meditate, but his father is very much against me. For two reasons his father is against me. First, that boy is his only son, and they are one of the topmost super-rich people in India. He is afraid that his son becomes a sannyasin...
... flux -- "that we are standing on a bridge which is in a flux? -- it is dangerous. The river is moving, that is true, but the bridge is not moving." The master hit Lin Chi and told him, "You idiot! The river is not moving, the bridge is moving. Meditate over it!" And Lin Chi had to meditate over it and recognized ... in a certain silence the bridge is also moving, but very slowly...
... body, you will not be sexual. But the real thing is not whether you are sexual or not, or angry or not. The real thing is how to be aware in a situation that requires your unawareness, how to be conscious in a situation that happens only in unconsciousness. Whenever such a situation is there, meditate on it. You have been given a great opportunity. If you feel jealous, meditate on it. This is the...
... right moment. Your body chemistry is working within you. It will make you unconscious; it will make you behave as if you are mad. Now, be conscious. Let there be jealousy, do not suppress it, but be conscious; be a witness to it. If there is anger, be a witness to it; if there is sex, be a witness to it. Let whatever is happening inside you happen, and begin to meditate on the whole situation. By and...
... the mind aside." And you say to it, "Shut up for the moment." Unless you all get out of the cage of the mind, I will have to talk against it; although I am not against it. "You are saying that we should drop it, tell it to shut up." I say drop it if you want to meditate. And the moment you are going to the marketplace, pick it up. Who is preventing you? Is there a need that...
... completely. Who has told you, "Don't become informed"? I have been telling you that by informing yourself you cannot attain to self-realization. But if you want to be an electrician, I will not suggest: Meditate, and you will become an electrician; meditate, and you will become a mechanic in a factory - you will need information. There is no need to feel guilty. This is how your mind goes on...
... surrendered - there is no need. How can you feel surrendered? When it comes, it comes. There is no way to bring it. You cannot manage. It is something beyond you. The surrender that you can do is useless, of no value, because if you do it, you remain the doer, and any moment you can undo it. You remain in control. So I am not interested in any surrender that you can do. Just be here, meditate, do a few...
... some-thing from you, you feel grateful, because he has accepted something from you. Then there is no ego trip. Just be here, meditate a little, do a few groups... and surrender to me is going to happen. If you ask me, it is already there. But you can wait, and think, and whenever you feel ready, come back and become a sannyasin. Or if you feel ready right now this moment, become a sannyasin this...
... have to meditate and then you can find the connection. It is one of the most meditative books ever written. In English THE BOOK OF HUANG PO is translated in the English way as THE TEACHINGS OF Huang PO. Even the title is wrong. People like Huang Po don't teach. There is no teaching in it. You have to meditate, to be silent, to understand it. The seventh is THE BOOK OF HUI HI. Again in English it is...
