... PURNAMUDACHYATE THAT IS THE WHOLE. THIS IS THE WHOLE. There is NO difference at all. It is ONE reality. The without and the within are not two, but two aspects of the same phenomenon. Matter and spirit are not to be put in antagonism against each other, they are not opposites. And we know they are not opposites because in you the meeting is happening. Even this very moment your body and your soul are not two...
..., they are one. Your body affects your consciousness, your consciousness affects your body. Your body is only the outermost part of your consciousness, and your consciousness is nothing but the innermost core of your body. The body is the dimension that spreads outwards, and the consciousness, the soul, is the dimension that goes inwards. But it is one spectrum. You are already LIVING the unity of this...
... into the world. MIND IS something new; meditation is your nature, it is your very being. How can it be difficult? You just have to know the knack: watch. Sit by the side of a river and watch the river flowing. Yes, sometimes driftwood passes by and sometimes a boat comes and sometimes a dead body and sometimes a beautiful woman may be swimming in the river - you simply watch, you don't get bothered...
... that? Two body energies are involved. Sex is also a game, but it was not a game before. Before contraceptives it was a serious thing. Contraceptives have eradicated that whole seriousness about it. Now the religions are bound to be afraid, because their whole edifice can collapse because of contraceptives. What the atheists could not do in centuries, contraceptives can do within decades. They have...
... talking about the immortality of the soul. Then why be afraid of abortion? - the soul is immortal so there is no sin in it. All that you have done by abortion is you have prevented the soul getting into this body. The soul will find another body, if not on this earth, then on some other earth, because scientists say there are least fifty thousand planets - at least. That is the minimum which have life...
... even if you cut the body the soul is not cut, if you burn the body the soul is not burnt.... NA HANYATE HANYAMANE SHAREERE: destroy the body nothing is destroyed - NAINAM CHHINDANTI SHASTRANI: neither you can cut it with the sword - NAINAM DAHAIT PAVAKAH: nor can you burn it in fire. And Hindus are against abortion. Why? - because you are killing a life. Nothing is killed, nothing can be killed...
... body. And we have to decide how many people can joyously live on this planet. But there is also a hidden strategy behind it: the religious priests, the popes and others, would not like man to live joyously for the simple reason that if people started living joyfully, cheerfully, blissfully, who will bother about their paradise and their heaven? People have to live in utter misery, only then can they...
... for a test, he simply gave the recognition. He said, "I can see in your eyes the unwavering totality. I can see in your body the spontaneous relaxedness. You can go to the king and tell him that the old man gives the recognition, and just for your recognition I have come down from the hills." Zen brings a new valuation into everything. It is not a life-renouncing religion, it is a life...
... and what is good. Rejoice in everything, and go on in different pilgrimages knowing perfectly well that life is not going to end anywhere, the journey will continue, the caravan will continue. There is no place where the road ends. Question 1: Maneesha has asked: OUR BELOVED MASTER, WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO PERCEIVE - NO INPUT FROM THE BODY OR THE MIND AND SO ONE HAS NOTHING BY WHICH TO DEFINE...
... great trust that whatever happens, something good is going to happen. "My wife is like Venus De Milo," says Paddy into his beer one night. "Really?" says Seamus, in surprise. "You mean she has a shapely body and stands around naked?" "No," replies Paddy. "She's an old relic and not all there! Many parts are missing." "Well, in that case,"...
... deserted. The place smells awful. Kowalski goes over to the bartender, sits down at the bar and orders another drink. "Where did everybody go?" asks Kowalski, drunkenly. "My God!" replies the bartender. "Where were you when the shit hit the fan?" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes and feel your body to be completely frozen...
.... Now look inwards with your totality and with an urgency as if this is your last moment. Deeper and deeper, like a spear, move towards the center. It is not far away, and the moment you reach the center you are just a witness, witness of the body, witness of the mind and witness of many new things - a silence, a peace, a deep serenity, a cool breeze fragrant with thousands of roses. At the center you...
.... Everything else is non-essential, commentary. To make it more clear, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax and watch. The body is lying down, but you are not the body; the mind is there, but you are not the mind. You are just a pure witness. You are not a person either. Suddenly, the Buddha Auditorium has become a lake of silent consciousness. Individuals are gone, like dewdrops in the ocean. A tremendously...
... sit inside it if you wanted to do any work: reading, writing, or anything. Even in the day, hundreds of mosquitoes are all over your body; how can you sleep in the night? But the idea of poverty... how can you use a mosquito net? That is a great luxury. So Gandhi had discovered - and he was a great discoverer of such things - he discovered that kerosene oil, if you put it on your face, your hands...
... in the morning, naked. And the person who managed to beat himself the most was thought to be the greatest saint. The blood would be oozing out of the body, and they would go on flagellating. And the crowd would gather around their monastery to see this scene. And that crowd would support them, appreciate them, clap them, and help them to beat themselves more. And of course when a big crowd is...
... alive, bleeding. They cannot heal; there is no way of their healing, nothing is being done to heal them. On the contrary, the nails are put in the shoes in such a way that they go on and on creating the wound, so the wound may not be allowed to heal naturally. They used belts also around their waist, with nails going into their body... with wounds all around. And these people have been worshipped. You...
.... Do not be deceived by the old idea that you will be spiritually rich if you starve your body; if you physically torture your body you will be spiritually rich - no. It is absolutely unscientific. I have seen people who have tortured their body their whole life, but I have not seen their soul being enriched by it. In fact their soul has died long ago. Your body and soul are not enemies. They live in...
... meditations to close your eyes, to leave the body completely behind ... because all the senses are joined with the body. Just be a watcher of the mind, so the mind cannot take your energy outside. With body and mind both closed energy gathers upon itself spontaneously, and at a certain point it starts moving inwards. You don't have to do anything except to close all the doors that lead you away from...
... the fire from the first cigarette to the second cigarette. And I will be watching." Just after three or four packets he said, "Can I go home, before ..." "No way! Either your dead body will go out, or you will have to drop this habit that you have been bragging about." He said, "I promise." I said, "I don't want to interfere in anybody else's life, but you...
...." So one small boy came up with a great idea, and they managed it. They found all kinds of insects ... because that was the interest of Charles Darwin. Working out his theory of evolution, he was looking into insects, into animals, in every place. What they did was cut up all those insects and made a new insect. The body of one insect, the legs of another, the face of a third, the tail of a...
... juicy blonde nymphomaniac nineteen-year-old girl twice a day for the past three weeks." "Good Lord, Mr. Goldberg!" says Father Fungus. "But aren't you Jewish? Why are you telling me?" "Why am I telling you?" replies Grandpa. "I'm telling everyone!" Now, Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel your body to...
... forget the buddha within. Express your buddha in all your actions, in your words, in your silences, in your songs. But always remember: you are a buddha. Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Relax. Let go of the body, of the mind. You are just a watcher, a small light at the center of your being. But that light is connected with the center of the universe. It is from this center you get your life. This is the root...
... prayers are answered." And if God fails to respond they complain against him and declare, "There is no God, it is all hocus-pocus." No, prayer does not mean shifting our responsibility onto another. Prayer is a kind of device by which we bring a thrill into our entire life, we thrill every particle of our body. And remember, it is the device which can enter deepest of all into our hearts...
... and bodies. If anyone becomes fully absorbed in prayer, with all his heart, then every particle of his body becomes active. No thought goes as deep as prayer, no desire goes as deep as prayer, provided only that one has the capacity to really pray. There is not a single desire from which you cannot be freed. You can be free even from sex, which is considered the most enduring of the desires. You are...
... not totally absorbed even in that, you are detached even from that. Some hidden portion of consciousness remains out of it. At the most it is the body that is absorbed in sexual activity; only a very small portion of the mind of a sexually-aroused person enters the action, but consciousness and the soul remain absolutely out of it. You cannot be total in sex, and that is the cause of the trouble and...
... you ever observed a wonderful happening that takes place in rivers? ... But we do not observe, we are blind. The living are drowned, but dead bodies know some secret of swimming, of floating on water, of not being drowned, that the living do not know. No river, not even great oceans, can drown a dead body; it at once comes up to the surface. What is the secret? A dead body does not know anything, it...
... is simply a dead body, and that is the secret. If a living person behaves like a dead body, then sinking is impossible - you float. No God helps you float, you simply become weightless. You become light as soon as your stone of ego is removed. Then, even if someone tries to drown you, how can he do it? We are drowned by our own selves. Confidence in ourselves drowns us. Clinging to our egos drowns...
... under the shower, lying down in my tub. I change from hot, extreme hot, to extreme cold, freezing water. That is immensely healthful to the body. One and a half hours is not long. It goes so fast because I enjoy it so much. So three hours go into the bathroom. Two hours, or two and a half hours in the morning, I talk to my disciples. Then in the night, two hours, just the way I am talking to you, I...
..., just as you are part, of this existence. And I have been in so many bodies that now I cannot get identified with any body. When you have to change so many trains, you are bound to feel that no train is yours; at the coming junction again you have to change the train. In this body I have been fifty-four years. But in fifty-four years I have lived a life which is not possible to live even in two...
... hundred years. I have lived intensely, totally. Whatever I have been doing at whatever time, I was doing it with my whole heart, as if the next moment is death. Q: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH? THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION. YOU WILL COME BACK IN ANOTHER BODY? A: No.... No more. This time is the last time. I have been coming into bodies again and again, but this time it is the last time. After...
... enlightenment, you cannot come back to the body. That is the only disadvantage. Q: WHEN DID YOU BECOME ENLIGHTENED? HOW OLD WERE YOU? WAS IT THIS LIFE FOR YOU? A: Yes. When I was twenty-one years old. Q: WHAT ABOUT OTHERS? WHAT ABOUT THE SANNYASINS: WHEN THEY DIE, WHEN THEY LEAVE THIS LIFE, WILL THEY COME BACK AS HUMANS? A: A few will not come. A few are bound to come. It all depends on them. If they die...
... caged in a body is really carrying your jail around you wherever you go. But as far as I am concerned, this is the last time, so I am trying to make the most of it. Q: SO THEN, IS THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED, SO THAT WHEN YOU DO LEAVE THIS LIFE YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO CARRY AROUND THE PRISON OF YOUR BODY? A: Right. Q: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE. A: Good. Come back...
...: N.A. Length: N.A. Question 1: BELOVED OSHO, WHEN I LISTEN TO YOU TALK ABOUT SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS AND THE BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCES AHEAD OF US, I OFTEN FEEL LITERALLY UPLIFTED, AS IF MY BODY BECOMES WEIGHTLESS. ONLY MY HURTING BACK REMINDS ME THAT I AM STILL HERE! THIS EXPERIENCE IN YOUR PRESENCE IS SO PRECIOUS. BUT THIS FEELING CAN TURN INTO A PAIN WHICH IS NOT PHYSICAL. TEARS FLOW, AND I HAVE SUCH A...
... DESPAIRING LONGING IN ME WHICH HAS NO DISTINCT DIRECTION. EVEN IF THIS EXPERIENCE DOESN'T HAVE THE LIGHT AND WEIGHTLESS QUALITIES LIKE THE FIRST ONE, IT IS TREMENDOUSLY RELIEVING. WHAT IS THIS EXPERIENCE, OSHO? Every day has its own night. If you feel uplifted and very pleasant, suddenly your body reminds you that you are not uplifted. That was only a feeling in my presence, not an actual existential...
... you want it to remain open forever, but it is not coming out of your own meditation. It is coming to you by being identified with me, by becoming one with my presence. It cannot last long. Soon your body will remind you, your hurting back will remind you that you are on the earth, and the window has closed. Now it not only hurts your back, it hurts all over your being. Out of great helplessness...
... - what can you do so that the window can remain open forever? - there is pain. But this pain is also sweet. It is not the pain of a wound, it is the pain of a vision that was just here and is lost. It is different from ordinary pains; it is not physical. It is a pain that comes out of the longing, a deeply felt longing, to be beyond the body, to be uplifted into superconsciousness. You have just tasted...
...? Just five billion people? And existence has its way of working. Unless it has prepared a new home for you, it will not destroy this planet. This planet can be destroyed only if it is no longer worth saving and you can have new homes. Just as on a smaller scale... as your body becomes old, useless, a constant trouble, this sickness, that sickness, existence has a way: it simply gives you a new body...
... he turns upside down. The bag can throw out its contents only if the snake turns upside down; otherwise the poison will go into the snake's own body. So it turns upside down. First it bites, so your blood is there to catch hold of the poison. And then it pours the poison on the blood and the poison goes into your bloodstream. "So the first thing is to make the snake so straight that it cannot...
... distract you from this obedience. They are telling you, "Don't listen to life, listen to God. Don't listen to your own heart, listen to the holy book. Don't listen to your own body and its wisdom, but listen to some dead saint, some fictitious, mythological figure." So remember, Zarathustra and his obedience are just the opposite of what religions call obedience. Zarathustra says, "Obey...
... yourself! Obey your instincts as far as your body is concerned. Obey your feelings as far as your heart is concerned. Obey your intelligence as far as your mind is concerned, and obey your intuition as far as your being is concerned. You are the holy scripture. Your body has every knowledge that it needs. Your heart knows perfectly well all the ways of love, and your intelligence is capable of...
... responsibility on others' shoulders. You are unable to obey yourself; you are a coward, you are afraid. Who knows? - you may be right, you may be wrong. It is better to listen to the wiser ones, it is better to listen to the ancient knowledge, to the scriptures, to the principles of life preached for thousands of years. It seems they are more reliable than your own body, which is millions of years old - no...
... scripture is as old as your body. Religions tell you, "Listen to the ancient seers." But your own consciousness is far older, far more ancient than any seers. Jesus was asked once, "What do you think about Abraham?" And Jesus said something immensely valuable: "Why should I think about Abraham? I was before he was." Abraham lived almost three thousand years before Jesus...
... simply help you to find your own nature. The language of your body he will teach you, the language of intelligence he will teach you, the language of love he will teach you, the language of intuition he will teach you; but he will leave you totally free to go on your own way and to move towards your own destiny. Your star may be different. Your goal may be different. And in fact, no two persons have to...
... absolutely free to follow his own body, his own heart, his own mind, his own being. The society of the superman will allow every man unconditional and total freedom to be himself. HOW HAS THIS COME ABOUT? THUS I ASK MYSELF. WHAT PERSUADES THE LIVING CREATURE TO OBEY AND TO COMMAND AND TO PRACTISE OBEDIENCE EVEN IN COMMANDING? LISTEN NOW TO MY TEACHING, YOU WISEST MEN! TEST IN EARNEST WHETHER I HAVE CREPT...
... moment of sheer terror they drop their armours. That is the whole life-long pattern. It is not easy to bring them out of their pattern because they have completely forgotten that they are separate from their pattern. They think they are their pattern so you have to hammer them. That is part of the process. It is therapeutic. It is just like surgery. If a surgeon thinks. 'How can I cut this man's body...
... is bad to cut anybody's body, and then you become a surgeon and your hand shakes and you cannot hold the knife. You feel guilty about whether to do it or not. It happens in India many times. Many families in India are believers of non-violence, particularly one group, the Jains. They don't do any violence, any sort of violence. When they go to study medicine it becomes a trouble. You have to...
... even ants, so how can they cut a human body? But this is just an attitude. If you are really in deep compassion, then it is a question of saving the man. If you don't cut the tumour the man will die. If you cut the tumour the man will be saved. You cut the tumour out of compassion. This whole work is out of compassion. You are not against these people. You are not inimical to them, so your yelling...
... body.] No, nothing is wrong in negativity, but if you are only negative then something is wrong. One should be balancing. Negativity is good but if you become completely negative, you will never enjoy life. Then you can be angry but never loving. You can hate but never love. Your whole life will become negative-oriented. You will be depressed, fighting, complaining. Nothing is wrong in that - if it...
... body to absorb it. Then it becomes a creative vitality in your being. Use destruction, negation, no, in the service of yes, creation. You felt good with the negative part because you have trained yourself for the negative, but you have to come to the positive part also. [A visitor says: I am very interested in learning indian music. It is something that frightens me, but I feel that maybe I can...
