... even try to be aware, because the first glimpse of awareness is going to scatter, to destroy their whole life that they had been thinking had any meaning up to now. Their whole life is going to become meaningless, insignificant. The fear of awareness is the fear that it may prove your whole life wrong. That's why only very courageous people try to meditate, try to become aware. Otherwise, people just...
..., "Where have you been? You have disappeared suddenly?" He said, "Not suddenly; but I became, by and by, afraid. I will come to listen to you, but now is not the time. I am young, and listening to you, by and by, I was getting less and less ambitious. Now that will be dangerous. I have to attain my ambitions first. In my later years, when I have become old, then I will meditate, but this...
... experiment to show you the reality of humanity, and you also have lived the same way. Because now you are silent you can see that people are just drunk, unconscious; not living really, just moving not knowing why, not knowing for what.'" Watch yourself, meditate over it, and see whether you are living in sleep. If you are living in sleep, then come out of it. Meditation is nothing but an effort to...
... it comes. You must be manufacturing it somewhere within your soul. Watch: if you are miserable, meditate on your misery, on how you create it. You always ask, "Who is responsible for misery?" Nobody is responsible except you. The mind goes on saying to you that if you are a husband, your wife is creating your misery. If you are a wife, your husband is creating your misery. If you are poor...
...;Please, now I am going to again start laughing." Somewhere inside your head your father is still holding you: "Stop!" Have you watched? If you meditate deeply you will come to see and hear your parental voices within. You were going to cry and the mother stopped you, and of course you were helpless and you had to compromise to survive. There was no other way. You had to depend on these...
... have to meditate, and you will have to drop all the controls. You will have to unlearn, undo, and then for the first time you will again become flowing. Of course, discipline is needed, not as control but as awareness. A controlled discipline is a deadening phenomenon. When you are alert, aware, a discipline comes easily out of that awareness - not that you force it, not that you plan it. No, moment...
... sannyasin who is returning to Italy to run a macrobiotic restaurant, said, through an interpreter, that he had found it difficult to meditate while he was here, and felt that perhaps that was because he had been unable to maintain his usual macrobiotic diet. Osho replied that this could be the reason, because once you have become accustomed to a certain diet, any other food could become a disturbance. He...
... drugs. So it is difficult to meditate once you have known a glimpse through chemistry; to undertake something that is a long process will be difficult. Meditation needs more stamina, more trust, more waiting, and it will be difficult because now you can compare. Secondly, any method is bad if you are not in control all the time. When you are meditating you can stop at any moment. If you want to stop...
... blessing, everything starts becoming as it should be. There is never any frustration in life: fulfilment comes of its own accord. But if meditation is missing then we can go on doing all that we can do but nothing really happens - all is futile. And you have a very prayerful heart... use it! So meditate, pray, think more of the inner and less of the outer. The outer has to be given attention but it...
... beings and love - you simply meditate. That will release in you the insight, the vision, the clarity, and the energy to share. Love is another name of sharing your abundant energy. You have too much, you are burdened with it. You would like to share it with people you like. Your love - what you call love - is not a sharing, it is a snatching. Everybody's trying to snatch more love. The wife goes on...
..., the breasts are false, the man jumped out of the bed and escaped, and he has not been found since. And he was dying to marry this woman! Human relationship needs understanding. My suggestion to you is: meditate. Become more and more silent, quiet, calm. Let a serenity arise in you. That will help you in a thousand and one ways - not only in love, it will also help you to create better sculpture...
... HAIR'S BREADTH OF DIFFERENCE - AND WHAT HAPPENS? People are given this koan to meditate upon. Nothing else is said. What are the things in which a hair's breadth of difference makes a great difference? "A hair's breadth"... people meditate on it. As they go deeper... they cannot find any intellectual answer to it, but as they go deeper they find the answer one day. The answer is, between you...
... blissful. You have to create the ground for bliss to happen. But you never tell me anything." I said, "I will tell you only when you drop your politics, because your politics and my teachings together will make you even more miserable. You are miserable enough. If you start trying to be peaceful also, to be silent even for a few moments, to meditate every day even for half an hour, you will...
... peaceful, you cannot meditate, you cannot sit silently. And that will be a very painful defeat; a great successful politician who has become a cabinet minister of a country like India - big, vast, the biggest democracy in the world; and you have one of the most important portfolios, education - such a great successful man cannot be silent even for one moment? That will be very disturbing." But he...
... been used for keeping yourself alert. In meditation one tends to fall asleep. It is good before you meditate to take a good hot cup of tea. That will help you not to fall asleep. So round the world for all the Buddhists, tea is a virtue, because it helps meditation. And anything that helps meditation cannot be sin. Once it happened, a Christian Quaker leader was my guest. I had no idea about the...
... music can come out of the drum... Just a little preparation is needed. And this is the place of meditation. Meditate a little more, and wait for the right moment when you feel that there is music inside you and you would like to share it with your friends. Question 3: BELOVED OSHO, FOR FOUR YEARS I HAVE BEEN TOTALLY NOURISHED BY POSITIVITY IN YOUR COMMUNE, BY YOUR LOVE AND THE LOVE OF YOUR SANNYASINS...
.... You will be surprised that according to Jaina scriptures, Krishna is suffering in the seventh hell because he was the cause of the greatest war this country has suffered, of the whole violence. And in fact there is some truth in it. Arjuna was not willing to fight. He wanted to retire from fighting; he wanted to go to the Himalayas to meditate. He said, "It is better - the others can keep the...
... people with my own hands does not seem worthwhile. It gives me a clear idea that it is better to go to the mountains and to meditate and to forget all about this." But Krishna persisted. When he could not continue to argue he brought in the last argument: "It is God's will. Now you cannot disbelieve in God's will, and it is God's will that you should fight." Now this has been the...
