... Available: N.A. Length: N.A. BELOVED OSHO, THE INESCAPABLE. WHENEVER YOU RUN INTO SOMETHING INESCAPABLE AMIDST THE HUBBUB, YOU'VE BEEN EXAMINING YOURSELF CONSTANTLY, BUT WITHOUT APPLYING THE EFFORT TO MEDITATE. THIS VERY INESCAPABILITY ITSELF IS MEDITATION: IF YOU GO FURTHER AND APPLY EFFORT TO EXAMINE YOURSELF, YOU'RE EVEN FURTHER AWAY. RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE IN SOMETHING INESCAPABLE, DO NOT BESTIR YOUR MIND...
... path. WHENEVER YOU RUN INTO SOMETHING INESCAPABLE AMIDST THE HUBBUB, YOU'VE BEEN EXAMINING YOURSELF CONSTANTLY, BUT WITHOUT APPLYING EFFORT TO MEDITATE. The first point: your meditation has to be without any effort on your part, because all effort is of the mind, and mind has no way of reaching to meditation. So if you are making some effort, your very effort is the barrier to reach to the space you...
.... I will feel sad and sorry for your going in a wrong direction, but I cannot prevent you either, because any interference in your life is against my whole approach. So please, meditate over it. Go around Buddha Hall; you will find Prashanto there, either enlightened or dead! That is far better than going into politics. Question 2: BELOVED OSHO, I HAVE BEEN IN SOME LONG RELATIONSHIPS FOR MANY YEARS...
... fragrance is an experience of a totally new atmosphere that does not exist in the outside world. If you meditate, you will become the same temple. Then, wherever you go the fragrance will go with you like a shadow; even others will feel it. It is not the first time that such a question has come to me. The moment they enter the gate many people have felt suddenly, as if they are entering into another world...
... away backwards, thinking that at least the past will be there. But the past is not there. The past and the future both are in your mind. Existentially there is only this moment. So when you meditate today, do it as if this is the last day. You may not have any chance to meditate again, so go all the way to the seashore. And once you have got the taste of your being -- the rejoicing, the dancing, the...
... of ever becoming a spiritual being. So the book says, don't repress sex; sex is natural, it is part of your whole being. It should be given its due, and you should not feel guilty about it; rather you should try to meditate on your sexual energy. That's what Tantra is. The whole philosophy of Tantra is that while you are making love, simultaneously you meditate, so that meditation and sex become...
.... Arjuna wanted to go to the Himalayas and to meditate. Seeing all the warriors gathered into chakra(*), he could not conceive, even if I win the war, what will be the point, because these are friends, brothers, uncles divided on both sides, they have played together, they have studied together. It was a family quarrel. Even Arjuna's teacher, Brahmacharya, was on the other side. Krishna was on Arjuna's...
... to go to the Himalayas and meditate. What proof you have that the message from God to me is wrong, and your message from God to you is right?" But the poor fellow, conditioned with the idea that Krishna is himself an incarnation of God, agreed. Millions of people died, and the best, and the very backbone of this country forever got fractured. Since then, India has not been able to stand on his...
..., and his insult created anger; now out of anger comes your action. Response is out of freedom. It is not dependent on the other person. The other person may insult you, but you don't become angry; on the contrary you meditate on the fact - why is he insulting you? Perhaps he is right. Then you have to be grateful to him, not get angry. Perhaps he is wrong. If he is wrong, then for his wrong why...
... insomnia. Meditation will help them to relax. And when they come to meditate then they should be told, "Alone meditation will not do; it is half of the work. Half you have to do - that is hard physical exercise." And I think people are in such a suffering without sleep that they will be able to do anything that is suggested. And hard work has a beauty of its own. Chopping wood and perspiring...
.... Question 2: BELOVED OSHO, CAN ONE MEDITATE TOO MUCH? Shanti Animisha, there are things which you can never do too much. For example, you cannot love too much; more is always possible, and there is no limitation anywhere. I am taking the example of love because that will be easily understood. The same is true about meditation: you cannot meditate too much, because silence knows no bounds - it is an...
...? Do you really want truth? Do you really want silence? If you ask, and you are honest, you will feel ashamed. You will have to accept that you don't really want.... You are only pretending to meditate -- because you know you have been meditating for many years, and nothing happens. There is no fear; you can meditate, nothing happens. Once something starts happening, then there is trouble. once...
... not believe in any boundaries; it is a pure symbol of freedom. UNFETTERED AT LAST, A TRAVELING MONK, I PASS THE OLD ZEN BARRIER. Even Zen finally has to be transcended. Finally you have to become so meditative that you don't need to meditate any more - meditation becomes your very being. That is what is called "the old Zen barrier." The day your very existence becomes meditative, when you...
... don't have to sit down at a certain hour to meditate in a certain way; the day when whatever you do, you do it meditatively - you sleep in meditation and you wake up in meditation - you have passed the old Zen barrier. MINE IS A TRACELESS STREAM-AND-CLOUD LIFE. OF THOSE MOUNTAINS, WHICH SHALL BE MY HOME? The cloud is going towards the mountains, towards the unknown, untraveled heights. Far away...
... to know that he has been asking me what meditation is or how to meditate, then all his respectability will go down the drain. In fact, to be associated with me is risky, very risky, dangerous. I am notorious! To be with me one has to be at least capable of being notorious. I don't care at all for respectability - I am not a leader, I don't belong to any cult, any creed, any dogma - I am simply...
... appears to be difficult because we never try to get in tune with our own being. We have forgotten the language, that's all, but it can be remembered. When you go back to him tell him to meditate. Even though he is old it can still happen. It is never too late, there is always time, because it can happen in an instant. It does not take time to happen; it is not a gradual process. Self-realization is a...
