... moment something more becomes possible. This is an unending process. Just let me in. And the way to help me is to meditate. Sit silently.... Life is boring -- so there is no harm in sitting with closed eyes, because there is nothing to see. Sit silently, peacefully. You have looked outside and you have found nothing but meaninglessness. Now give a chance to your inner world: look inwards. And I promise...

... sitting and meditating." And the next day he was arrested with me, and we were behind bars. He told me, "Bhagwan, this is too much. I came to meditate... But in a way I am fortunate that from the very beginning I am with you. Although it is jail, it does not matter." And then he was with me all around the world, being deported from this country to that country. For three months he has...
... projection. Soon you will relax. And in the days you are here, make it a point: meditate, dance, but with no idea of improvement... no idea of going anywhere. Just be here and enjoy. Good! [The vipassana group was at darshan. Osho asked one of the leaders how it had been. He said that there had been much noise from the outside, but it had, in fact, acted as a stimulation.] It can be... it can be. The...

... - Poona is nothing! Rangoon is far more dirty. It is one of the worst place in asia. Only calcutta can compete with it, nowhere else. So when the taxi arrived, he got out and he asked, 'Where is the ashram?' They said, 'This is the ashram!' His heart sank. He thought, 'It is better to escape!' He would have to meditate for three weeks in such noise and turmoil, and in such a dirty place! But the next...
.... Question 1: BELOVED MASTER, IS IT POSSIBLE TO MEDITATE WITHOUT ANY TECHNIQUE? Deva Maturo, the question you have asked is certainly of great importance because meditation, as such, needs no technique at all. But techniques are needed to remove the obstacles in the way of meditation. So it has to be understood very clearly: meditation itself needs no techniques, it is a simple understanding, an alertness...

... roots, with the wild plants that you have removed. But the removal of those weeds was absolutely necessary for the ground to be in a right situation where roses can blossom. You are asking, "Is it possible to meditate without any technique?" It is not only possible, it is the only possibility. No technique is needed at all - as far as meditation is concerned. But what are you going to do...
... that neither can I meditate without weaving, nor can I weave without meditation. So please don't disturb me, just let me do whatever I have been doing." Another mystic was Gora. He was a potter and he continued to make beautiful pottery after his realization. His pottery also became of a different quality. Something of his beauty became part of what he was making. His disciples said, "Stop...

... and then you will meditate. Those are tricks of the mind of postponing, and you will end up in some ugly situation. To me, religion can only be aesthetic and nothing else. A religious man will be in every way graceful. His very being will be surrounded by an aura of beauty. His words will be poetry itself; his silences will touch your heart; his very being will become a dance and celebration for you...
... flavor, a spiritual aroma, a contagious blissfulness. Have you brought that meditativeness in which thousands of roses blossom in the heart? Then you will not invite anybody to read books. You will invite them to meditate, to dance, to sing and to disappear in their dance. And perhaps after all this, those books may be useful just to understand your own experience; those books may help to give you the...

... collecting wood inside it. The winter was coming and more wood would be needed; they were thinking to stay there for three months to meditate. Suddenly somebody opened the canal, not knowing that these people were carrying wood through the canal. Gurdjieff was inside the tent, and from there he suddenly shouted, "Stop!" Those who were cunning, they thought, "He is inside the tent, he does...
... can give you right now. It will need a certain background within you, then only can I indicate to you what is truth. That cannot be done while my train is moving. Just let me go." I have found people on the streets. They will stop, they will say, "We don't have much time to meditate but can you just tell us in short what is meditation?" All over the world there are such people who are...

... enough time in old age, or even after death. Silently lying down in your grave you can meditate as much as you want. But right now there is so much happening all around - somebody's wife has escaped, somebody's husband is cheating his wife.... Seeing the situation, that it is almost futile to talk to the crowd, I started gathering a few people. The only way was to drop speaking to the crowds. I would...
.... Video Available: N.A. Length: N.A. [A sannyasin who bakes said that because of his work he was unable to do the meditations, and should he do anything else. Osho said that when he had time he could meditate alone... ] ... and baking is a good meditation. Put your love into it, your whole awareness into it. Just don't do it for the money - do it for love also. Do it with care, and then there is no need...

... for any other meditation. If you can change your work into meditation, that's the best thing. Then meditation is never in conflict with your life. Whatsoever you do can become meditative. Meditation is not something separate; it is a part of life. It is just like breathing: just as you breathe in and out, you meditate also. And it is simply a shift of emphasis; nothing much is to be done. Things...
... that becomes a jarring note. It poisons a relationship. Why? You can be so happy, so immensely happy. Why destroy such beautiful experiences for things which don't count in the end? You cannot even remember after one month what the point was about which you were fighting. Simply relax and then you will feel good, because when there is no conflict, you have more energy to work, more energy to meditate...

..., wherever you are, you love. And love is always helpful. It needs no physical presence. If you love, love grows much in absence. So just meditate and be loving. And things are going well. Don't be worried about your expectations. Drop all your expectations. Whatsoever happens, love it and feel grateful for it. Never expect more - and more will happen. If you expect more, then even this much will not...
... beyond both, and that beyond is meditation. So in every act... and I don't want people to sit for one hour or half an hour in the morning or in the evening. That kind of meditation is not going to help, because if you meditate for one hour, then for twenty-three hours you will be doing just the opposite of it. Meditation can be victorious: witnessing is such a method that it can spread over twenty-four...

... red. Red is not going to disappear. It is going to grow more and more. And opening the doors for people who cannot suddenly change their clothes - let them take their time, why keep them out? Let them meditate - that will give them courage. Sannyas will remain red and sannyas will remain with malas. I have opened the door only for those who are half-heartedly standing outside. It does not look good...
... with you. So when you go back you are full of me. And this is going to be the new order of the buddhafield. Question 2: BELOVED OSHO, MEDITATION IS THE KEY. WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO LIVE A MEDITATIVE LIFE WITHOUT YOUR PHYSICAL PRESENCE? It is difficult because you have not yet been able to find your own source of meditation. Being in my presence you need not meditate. Just being in my presence, a...

... disappears, the gratitude arises. When dependence disappears, a tremendous feeling, that what you were and what you have become... the distance is so vast that unless the presence of the master was a miracle, it is not explainable. So whenever you feel that it is difficult to meditate without me, remember my love for you, remember your love for me. Love immediately destroys distances. And you will find me...
