Osho

... happen. Feel great energy showering on you, as if you are standing under a waterfall. Energy is splashing on you and the body starts swaying, the body starts feeling drunk. Go into it, and if something starts happening in the body, allow it. Tao is the name for that which cannot be named, a name for the nameless - just like god or dhamma or truth or logos. These are not really names, but human...

... potential, it spreads all over your being. It overwhelms you, it takes you on the greatest journey of life; into nature, into reality, into things as they are, into tao. [Osho gives sannyas:] Close your eyes and feel full of light inside, as if a great light is arising from your belly and filling your whole body. If trembling arises, shaking, swaying, go with it. If your body wants to take some posture...
... you want a love which is non-biological. And the problem becomes more complicated. The woman can perhaps wait, because her sexuality is passive sexuality, it is spread all over her body. It feels immensely joyful to her just to be cuddled, loved, cared. Sex seems to her to be something lower, animalistic. But one has to consider man also. His sexuality is localized. One thing: it is not all over his...

... body. And second: it has to be aggressive. The woman's egg waits inside - it can wait for infinity - but the man's sperm cannot wait that long. He wants to have the marathon race as quickly as possible. That's why he pretends romance and all goody-goody things, but his real intention is when it is nine-fifteen...! He is constantly looking at the watch. Everything else is good, but the real goal is...

... together; then you have twins. But that is very rare and anyway one million people cannot reach - they will kill the woman if they reach at the same time... nine-fifteen! There are wiser ones who stand by the side and see the whole scene, and there are idiots who don't look here and there and go direct like an arrow because there is not much time. The life of a sperm out of a man's body is only two hours...

... is not losing energy, she is gaining energy. And she could not even get an orgasm, because the orgasm takes some time. The man should play with her body, provoke every cell and fiber of her body so she becomes afire. But no man is concerned and it looks stupid also, "What are you doing? Just do the real thing and go to sleep." Mayoori, it is very difficult to find a man who will love you...
... seeing what is happening. The body becomes numb and goes off, the mind becomes numb and goes off, but you are still turned on. You are still there, hovering like a presence. No more identified with the body and the mind... almost a holy ghost! This is possible - that's what I feel. [A sannyasin asks how he can combine living here and living in Europe as he is involved in many things there.] Yes, it can...

... human existence. The first is the physical. It takes twenty-three days to complete, and it affects a broad range of physical factors, including resistance to disease, strength, coordination, and the other basic body functions, and the sensation of physical well-being. The second cycle is emotional. It takes twenty-eight days to complete, just as it takes twenty-eight days in the feminine body for the...

... male period - but it is not visible and you don't know where it comes from and when it goes. Right now my feeling is you are in a menstruation period, so for three, four days, you will suffer. This is one cycle. It will be good if you read something about bio-rhythms - a new science that is developing; bio-rhythm. And it will be very helpful for you. This is a twenty-eight days cycle in the body; it...
... their sex. For the first time, a man will be standing behind a woman's body, or a woman may be standing behind a man's body. And then they will understand what mystics have always been saying, that the inside is the same; only the window and its frame is different. Your inner being is neither male nor female. Listening to this, the monk said, or rather shouted, the Zen shout "KWATZ!" AND...

... unconcern about the splendor of your innermost being. Chosha wrote: EVERYTHING, EVERY PLACE IS REAL. EACH PARTICLE MAKES UP ORIGINAL MAN. STILL, THE ABSOLUTELY REAL IS VOICELESS, THE TRUE BODY IS MAJESTICALLY OUT OF SIGHT. Neither can you say anything about the beauty, the majesty, nor can you see it with your ordinary eyes. When you turn inwards these eyes are closed; they can't turn inwards. A third eye...

... depthless; you can go as deep as you have courage and guts to go. The deeper you go, more you are. To make this inwardness total ... Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Everybody dies. Feel the body left behind. Feel the mind left behind and just enter into the unknown space. Just being ... To be is the whole purpose of meditation. In this moment there is no difference between you and the Buddha. Keep this moment...

... live in a dance. Your life will blossom many flowers. You will come across much love, much compassion. You will share joy. Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Bring all the buddhas back to the body .... Sit down, for a moment remembering the experience. This experiencing is Zen. Okay, Maneesha? Yes, Osho. Can all the buddhas celebrate now? Yes! Generated by PreciseInfo ™ ...
...;Don't open your eyes. Just remain silent, breathe slowly, so the fly settles somewhere, so we can catch hold of it!" Then I rushed into the house to find a fly. It was a little bit difficult because for the first time I was trying that, but finally I succeeded - I could get a fly in a bottle. And I came to the man, I moved my hand on his body, and I asked him, "Where the fly is?" And he...

... that they did was they told me I am mad! And now I don't feel the fly anywhere, because it is in the bottle!" He took the bottle, he went to the doctors. One of the doctors who knew me, he came to see me. He said, "How you managed? Six months a fly can live in the body? And that man has taken his fee back from me, because he was making such a fuss that I said, 'Better give it back to him...

... that he gave were that, "The soul is eternal, so don't be bothered. You can kill - the soul is not killed, only the body, and the body is dead anyway. So there is no violence involved, because the soul is immortal and the body is mortal. You are only separating the immortal from the mortal, there is nothing wrong in it - just separating the essential from the non-essential. Do you think you...

... lawsuit for damages the Jewish lawyer for the plaintiff had long experience with juries. He gave force to his words by all kinds of body movements, waving his arms, hammering with his fists, his face expressing a raging storm of feelings. Finally he sat down, his voice drained, his body exhausted. Defense counsel arose, who was also a Jew, and began to mimic his opponent. He swung his arms freely in...

... running, with what joy they are collecting - just colored stones, as if they have found great diamonds. collecting flowers, wild flowers, and look into their eyes... or running after butterflies, watch them. Their whole being, each cell of their body is mystified. And that's the most important quality that make life worth living. The person who loses his quality to be surprised is dead. The moment your...
... his interest is in genetic engineering. Now, that is going to happen sooner or later, and it has to be done. We are capable now of engineering the human child in thousands of ways. We can give him a lifelong healthy body, from the very beginning prepared to resist all kinds of sicknesses. We can arrange how long we would like him to live, how long we would like him to be young; he can be young to...

... genitals that doesn't mean that fantasies about sex will disappear or sex will disappear. It is in the very cells of your body, every fiber of your body. But educated people, even in the beginning of this century, were doing this. It was only because of the revolution that it became a crime. It was very difficult to stop them even after the revolution because it was their religious practice. It continued...

... is, sexual fantasy does not leave. The body has almost gone, there are only bones: the food is not enough for the most essential things in the body, so of actual sex there is no question. First your life has to be saved. Sex is the life of your children, of your future generations; but first your life has to be saved; so when food goes into you it has priorities. First, it has to save your brain...

... tissues died because the food was not available. Right proteins were not available, right vitamins were not available - those tissues slowly slowly died. Then the heart has to be looked after. Then there are other functions in the body. Only when your whole body is looked after well do you accumulate sexual energy, because sexual energy is not in any way concerned with your life, it is concerned with...

... that you can do. But when you can do the maximum, why stop at the minimum? When you can dance to abandon, then why go on just moving your body a little, as if under compulsion, ashamed: "What am I doing?" Accepting yourself is just like that: smiling, and yet still feeling, "What am I doing?..." Something is negative in "accepting" yourself. The very word, acceptance...
... changing its quality. The Bauls sing, Plough-man, are you out of your wits not to take care of your own land? A squadron of six birds is picking at the rice, grown golden and ripe, in the field of your limbs. Farming the splendid measured land of this human body, you raise the crop, the devotion to God. But passions eat at it like sparrows. The fence of consciousness is down to dust, leaving open gaps...

... your body: you can drown yourself in it. It can become your alcohol, it can become your drug, it can become your acid. Sex is chemical; it releases certain hormones in your body. It gives you a certain illusory euphoria. It gives you a few moments when you feel at the top of the world. But then again you are back in the valley, and the valley is darker than before, and the valley is uglier than...

... surrender you have called the name of God, suddenly there comes a change in your body energies. The energy that was going to the sex center starts rising high. The Bauls say, God has reversed the acts of the play. The land talks in paradox and the flowers devour the heads of fruits, and the gentle vine, roaring, strangles the tree. The moon rises in the day, and the sun at night with shining rays. The...

... intelligent, but that doesn't matter. But it you are powerful, reliable, the woman can lean on your shoulders. There is a certain guarantee in you. Men are attracted by physical proportions, body-beauty; a woman is more attracted by fame, prestige, power, achievement. So if men are too mad after power, the arithmetic is simple. Even in the face of death or in the face of danger people go on lusting. Jeevan...

..., then it is going to be so -- because at the moment of death you start thinking more of sex, because sex seems to be just the opposite of death. Sex is birth; mind fantasizes about sex. And when the last moment has come when the body is going to disappear, a bout of energy, the last bout, streams into your head, overpowers you. If you die with sex on the mind, you will be moving again into the wheel...

... beauty you will become truthful. The more aesthetic you become, the more sensitive you become towards beauty, the more balanced and harmonious you will become -- because finally, beauty belongs to God. LET me explain it to you. You see a woman: if you see with lustful eyes, you see only the body, the matter, the matter part; if you see with love, you see something that is not matter, that is spiritual...

...; and if you see a woman with prayer, then you see something absolutely divine. It depends on your eyes. With lustful eyes you see only the body part of the woman; with loveful eyes you see the spiritual part of the woman; with prayerful eyes you see the divine, God himself. Wherever your sensitivity towards beauty is perfect, the divine is revealed. GO TO THE HOME OF BEAUTY AND FORM, SHOULD YOU WISH...
... eight steps. Patanjali is bringing you home. The first five steps -- yam, niyam, agan, pranayam, pratyahar -- they help you to go deep in you beyond the body. The body is your first periphery, the first concentric circle of your existence. The second step is to go beyond the mind. The three internal steps of dharana, dhyan, samadhi, lead you beyond the mind. Beyond the body and beyond the mind is your...

... nature, is your center of being. That center of being Patanjali calls seedless samadhi -- kaivalya. That he calls to come face to face to your own grounding, to your own being, to come to know who you are. So the whole process can be divided in three parts first, how to transcend the body; second, how to transcend the mind; and third, how to fall into your own being. We have been taught, almost all...

... think about it. The ordinary, the ordinary human being, grows only in stages, step by step, because for a sudden enlightenment, tremendous courage is needed, which is not available. And, for a sudden enlightenment, there is such a risk in it -- one can go mad or one can become enlightened. Both the possibilities remain open because it is so sudden that the mechanism of your body and mind is not ready...

... ARE EXTERNAL COMPARED TO SEEDLESS SAMADHI. If you compare them with yam, niyam, asan, pranayam, pratyahar, then they are internal, but if you compare with the experience, the ultimate experience of a Buddha or Patanjali, they are yet external. They are just in between. First you transcend the body, those are the external steps: then you transcend the mind, these are internal steps: but when you...

... reach to your being, even that which was internal now will look external. Even that was not internal enough. Your mind is not internal enough. It is more internal than the body. It is external if you become a witness: then you can watch your own thoughts. When you can watch your own thoughts. Your thoughts become external. They become objects: you are the watcher. The seedless samadhi means: when...

... shortest, the most shortcut way to reach to Jesus' heart. If you go into your own heart, if you go withinwards, you will come closer to Jesus. And, whether Jesus is alive or not, you have to look withinwards, you have to seek the source of your own life; and then you will know that Jesus can never be dead. He is eternal life. He may disappear from this body on the cross; he will appear somewhere else. He...

IN THEIR REALM THERE IS NO GAP BETWEEN BODY AND MIND, SO EVERY WORD OF THEIR UTTERING IS THEIR WARM BODY AND MIND. THEREFORE, WHEN WE BECOME THE BUDDHAS AND PATRIARCHS, WE TRANSCEND THEM. THIS IS THE PRACTICAL EXPRESSION OF TWO OR THREE WORDS OF BUDDHAS AND PATRIARCHS. SO I...

... WILLING TO SACRIFICE OUR LIVES TO DO SO. How did Buddha attain to be a buddha? By risking all. Anybody anywhere -- in any time, in any country -- if he is ready to risk everything, his mind, his body, and just be a watcher, unidentified, he is bound to become a buddha; it does not matter whether Gautam Buddha really existed or not. He is saying: HOW FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE PRESENT DAY, WHEN...

... and he is the shepherd. All these people are consistently trying to take away your dignity as human beings. I say to you that you are the ultimate consciousness. You are not the body and you are not the mind; you are the buddha, the awakened one. It is just a question of sleeping or waking, not much of a difference. The sleeping person is not inferior just because you are awake and cannot sleep. His...

"Oh!" says Larry, "Well what about Friday night?" Now, Nivedano ... beat the drum. (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel your body completely frozen. No...

.... This moment there is no time, no space. This moment you have transcended history, mind. This moment you are only pure consciousness, just a light unto yourself. This is what is meant by being a buddha. To make it absolutely clear, Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Relax, let go. The body is dead, the mind is gone far away. You are left only with a small center, but this center is the door to existence. From...

... also say that there is no need to fear death, because the soul is immortal. But in the very idea of the immortality of the soul, your mind is seeking eternity and nothing else. In the very idea of immortality you are denying death, you are saying there is no death. You are saying 'So why be afraid? There is no death. I am going to live - if not as THIS body, still I am going to live as THIS soul. My...

... essential being will continue. So why fear death? Death will not be destroying ME. I will remain, I.will persist, I will continue.' The other religions compromise with your desire to remain for ever. They give you a consolation. They say 'Don't be worried. You will be in some other body, in some other form, but you will continue.' This seems to be a clinging. But the Zen approach towards death is utterly...

... awaken the disciple. Then he laughed, and asked 'Do you understand?' The laughter was so total, if the disciple had looked into the eyes of the master and heard the laughter, there was the whole teaching of Buddha in it, all the scriptures in it. The totality of it. And he would have seen that the master is leaving the body. But he must have got into thinking. The master asked 'Do you understand?' And...

... question to provoke the disciple to be alert of the master's situation, what is happening to him. If the disciple was really in tune with the master, that would have been a shock: 'Do you understand?' And he would have opened his eyes and he would have looked into the being of the master and would have felt that the master is ready to leave the body. But he went into thinking and missed the point. Hence...
