..., but far deeper, so that even a dream is not possible. And these two hours are the most valuable because there is no disturbance at all. The body functions absolutely naturally. Everything is relaxed, suspended. Time disappears. You are as if you are dead. And it is also beautiful; it gives you rest. If you miss it, in the morning you will feel you have been sleeping - but you get up more tired than...
... very effort will make me more aware. Awareness is not a quality, a characteristic; it is your whole being. When you become aware, there is no choice left to be otherwise. Question 6: BELOVED OSHO, YOU MENTIONED A FEW DAYS AGO THAT THE VARIOUS EXPERIENCES WE HAVE RECOUNTED TO YOU ABOUT OUR CHILDHOOD ARE ACTUALLY TECHNIQUES THAT HAVE BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES TO LEARN A DISTANCE FROM THE BODY. WERE THESE...
... individual rebellious. For example, Jalaluddin Rumi became enlightened with a very strange method that he had remembered from his own childhood, whirling. All children like whirling because ordinarily your being and your body are fixed, settled. But when you start whirling and you go faster and faster, the body goes on whirling and at a certain speed your consciousness can't keep pace with it. So your...
... consciousness becomes a center of the cyclone: the body moves and the consciousness remains unmoving. All over the world small children do that, but parents are afraid they will fall, they may break a bone, get a fracture, they may have sickness, nausea. So they are stopped because their parents don't have any idea, they never inquire of the child, "Why you are whirling and what you are getting?"...
... he has to go to the physician, or something else. But suddenly one day he heard that Gautam Buddha was outside his village and had told his disciples that now he is going to leave his body: "If you have anything to ask, you can ask. It should not be said by the coming generations that Buddha did not answer a question which was in the mind of one of his disciples. For forty-two years I have...
... been answering you, but perhaps there may be some questions still. Before I leave the body, I want to answer them all." The disciples said with tears in their eyes, "You have answered more than we had ever asked, or ever thought to ask. We don't want to disturb you. You can silently leave your body. This is no moment for any question or answer; this is no moment for any communication with...
... again they said they didn't have any question. So Buddha said, "Then I shall enter into the four stages: The first stage of meditation, in which one leaves the body; the second stage, in which one leaves the mind; the third stage, in which one leaves the heart; and the fourth stage, in which one leaves the very self and the dewdrop disappears into the ocean." So he closed his eyes ... Just...
... postpone, but hearing that Buddha is leaving the body, now I cannot postpone." But Ananda, Buddha's chief disciple said, "Now be silent. He has already moved inwards. He has closed his eyes, and it is absolutely ungentlemanly ... now wait for some other life. When you find some other buddha, then you can ask your questions. And your questions are not very important either, because if you can...
... inside their mouth they cannot make any movement of the tongue, and the whole body should be just a statue - then only you can realize the truth. But it is only half of the truth. And a half truth is more dangerous than a total lie; at least a lie is total. Life is both rest and movement. If you go sometime to Bodhgaya, where Gautam Buddha became enlightened, there stands a temple in memory of his...
... your eyes. Feel your body to be frozen... Gather your life energy to the very center of your being. The more concentrated is the life energy... it suddenly bursts into a flame. This flame burns everything that is false in you and brings back the original man - the way nature intended you to be, not the way you have been nurtured to be. The original man is the buddha. Not to be a hypocrite is the only...
... discipline. Just drop everything false. And the deeper you go, the false starts dropping on its own accord. It is an exploration of tremendous meaning. If you can find your original man, you have found everything that this existence contains - all the splendor, all the glory, all the ceremony, all the joy. Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax. Let the body be there, let the mind be there, and you are simply the...
... watcher. You have nothing to do with the body or the mind. Just be clear that you don't get identified with the body-mind system. You remain a pure watcher, unconcerned. This brings you to the very center of your life, and to the very center of the universe too. Drink it deeply - the experience - so that it remains all the day long with you, running like an undercurrent. For this moment you are a buddha...
... enlightenment, you have to disappear. The world is left behind, the body is left behind, the mind is left behind; just your consciousness, as individuality, is still there. To go beyond enlightenment is to go beyond individuality and to become universal. This way, each individual will go on moving into nothingness. And one day, the whole existence moves into nothingness and a great peace, a great night, a...
..., and his energy starts moving directly towards the head. The heart is ignored. I have heard an ancient parable from Tibet, that in the beginning of time the heart used to be exactly in the middle part of the body. But because of continuously being pushed aside, out of the way, now it is no more in the middle of the body. The poor fellow waits by the side of the road: "If some day you need, I am...
... is very beautiful, her eyes have such depth, her body is so proportionate. These are not the reasons. You have never calculated all these reasons on your calculator and then found that this woman seems to be worthy of falling in love with: "Fall in love with this woman -- exactly the right length of nose, the right kind of hair, the right color, the right proportion of the body. What more do...
... centuries. And we have accepted everything -- poverty, slavery, disease, death -- without any resistance, because these are outer things. Our whole effort has been inner." In the West they have destroyed poverty, they have destroyed much disease, they have made man's life longer. They have made man's body more beautiful, they have made man's existence more comfortable, but the man himself -- for whom...
... this arrow stuck in your leg than to have that migraine again! But the doctor said, "The arrow cannot be allowed to remain. It will create poison in the body; it may be poisonous already. It has to be pulled out. But don't be worried, it has given us some clue." This is how acupuncture was born. The physicians took out the arrow, but the migraine never returned. Over hundreds of years...
..., slowly slowly, they discovered that there are seven hundred centers, interconnected in the body, and it is not necessary that your migraine has its source in your head. The source can be anywhere in the body. It can be at any of those seven hundred centers. The only thing that has to happen is that that center is vibrating your brain, sending waves of energy to your brain which are hitting other...
... he has died and is coming back to life again. He will not have any memory that he has been unconscious for two hours, but his whole body will show symptoms that he has passed through a trauma, a painful trauma. If it is not a fit but a glimpse of samadhi, the person will wake up rejuvenated, young again, fresh as he has never been - absolutely silent, peaceful, with a clarity to things. Even your...
... for thirty-six hours, non-stop, you can open a passage to the third layer of your energies. And to be in the third layer of energies is to know things that you always wanted to know. It is in this layer of energy that one experiences love without attachment, one experiences love as sharing, not as relationship. It is in this part of energy that you experience yourself separate from body, from mind...
... consciously aware of it or not, unconsciously you felt that you were being forced to work. The very idea that you are being forced to work destroys the beauty. Your work remains half-hearted and your meditation will remain half-hearted too. I know that working twelve hours or fourteen hours is difficult - and particularly if you have not worked so much in your life it is painful. The whole body hurts, sleep...
...: exploding is perfectly good, but that is an exploding of consciousness, an explosion of your inner being, not an explosion of your body. People are already afraid of coming close to me, and if you do this kind of exploding then I am going to lose all my crazy people. So please, be kind towards yourself and be kind towards me. Cut down on your food, make an alternating system: meditation, walking, jogging...
..., running, anything that gives your body enough exercise to absorb your food. And it is tremendously significant ... If you can make an alternating way your meditation will go even deeper, because when the body is tired, it relaxes quickly. When it is not tired, it does not relax quickly. That is one of the reasons why rich people cannot sleep. Their bodies are not tired. Sleep is part of relaxation...
.... Laborers, beggars, sleep so deeply that even emperors feel jealous. The whole body is so tired, because they are working the whole day, that it is impossible for them not to fall asleep immediately. You will be surprised to know that there are aboriginals in India, in Burma, in Thailand and in other Far Eastern countries who don't dream. And the reason is that they are so tired, their work is so hard...
.... And you will find that you are not getting fatter and your body is not going to explode. But your consciousness is going to explode into the tremendous phenomenon we call enlightenment. The East has never bothered about dreams and the East has been concerned for thousands of years about consciousness. It is a strange phenomenon. The West became concerned with consciousness only one hundred years ago...
... disturbance the whole night, he wants to sleep again. The other person, whose sleep time was disturbed but not the dream time, has no problem. He gets up rejuvenated, fresh, with no tiredness. The conclusion is that you need dreams more than sleep. Your body, your physical well-being, depends on dreaming, not on sleep, which has been the traditional concept. Traditionally it has been understood that dreams...
... not create the dream that you have gone to the toilet, come back and gone to sleep again, then your sleep will be disturbed - and sleep is a great necessity for the body. The mind is taking care that it is not disturbed again and again; you can have a long sleep, rest, so in the morning you are rejuvenated. This is the ordinary function of the mind; on a higher plane the same thing happens. It is an...
... the old days their disciples were miles away; they had to be informed that the master is going to leave the body. They have to come because the master cannot leave the body without saying goodbye to them, or maybe there is a last message. So disciples from faraway places will start traveling - it will take time but they will all reach and the master will die exactly at the time he has declared. It...
... the sky. They are really very proud people. Awareness grows very slowly, but it grows. One has to just be patient. As it grows you will start feeling many things which you have never felt before. For example, you will start feeling that you are carrying many tensions in your body of which you have never been aware because they are subtle tensions. Now your awareness is there you can feel those very...
... subtle, very delicate tensions. So wherever you feel any tension in the body, relax that part. If your whole body is relaxed, your awareness will grow faster because those tensions are hindrances. As your awareness grows even more, you will be surprised to know that you don't dream only in sleep; there is an undercurrent of dreaming even while you are awake. It goes just underneath your wakefulness...
... he never wrote a single word. His whole life his disciples were again and again asking, requesting, "Write something. You are getting older and older and older, and one day you will have to leave the body. Leave your last testament." But he would laugh and not say a thing, or he would keep silent as if he had not heard. Then when he became very old, he started moving towards the Himalayas...
... with unawareness, seen with blindness, seen with closed eyes, seen unintelligently, unmeditatively. Then the truth becomes a fact. For example, you come across a buddha. If you look at him unconsciously he is just a fact, a historical fact; he is born on a certain day and is going to die on a certain day. He is the body that you can see with your eyes; he is a certain person, a personality. History...
... can take note of him, you can have a picture of him. But if you look, not with unconsciousness but with great consciousness, with awareness, with great light, silence, then the fact is no longer there -- there is truth. Then Buddha is not somebody who is born on a certain date, he is somebody who is never born and is never going to die. Then Buddha is not the body, the body is just an abode. Then...
... lose the physical body but they gain the luminous body. They are no more part of the earth but they become part of the sky; they disappear from time but they appear in eternity. But all the religions have been trying to prove that these are facts. And in trying to prove that these are facts they have simply proved that they are fools. These are not facts, these are symbolic truths. Whatsoever you see...
... VOMIT. WAS THAT YOU? IF IT WAS, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD that St. John of the Cross used to vomit during his ecstasies? Vomit can be of infinite significance. It can be a kind of unburdening. It can be not only indicative that the body wants to unburden - it can be indicative of the deeper psyche too, because the body and the soul are not separate, they are one. Whatsoever happens in...
... the body happens in the soul too; whatsoever happens in the soul happens in the body too - they vibrate together. It happens many times that when your inner being wants to release some garbage, your body will also release some garbage. And when your body releases some garbage, you will feel as if your mind has also become clean. Have you not felt that kind of cleanliness after a good vomit? Have you...
... body you will have to use all the layers of your being. Even a Buddha, when he talks to you, has to talk through the mind. Even a Buddha, when he walks... he has to walk through the body. But now, once you have known that you are beyond mind, the mind can never deceive you: you can use it and you will never be used by it. That's the difference. Not that a Buddha doesn't use mind, he uses: he uses...
...; you are being used. Not that he doesn't live in the body: he lives; you are being lived -- the body is the master and you are the slave. Buddha is the master; the body is the slave. A total change, a total mutation happens -- that which is up goes down and that which is down goes up. THE SEEN EXISTS FOR THE SEER ALONE. This is the climax of yoga or vedanta: "The seen exists for the seer alone...
... UNION IS IGNORANCE. To be united with this world. which is like a dream, to be united with the body, with the mind -- which you arc not -- is a necessity. Through this union you will be prepared for a greater union. Through this union you will come to realize that this union is false. The day you realize that this union is false, the final union will happen. When you are divorced from the world, you...
