..., there has never been any death. Nothing dies in reality, it only changes forms. AIDS can destroy your body - but it is going to be destroyed anyway, there is not much problem. It is better that it is being destroyed by AIDS, because you cannot hope to survive; with AIDS your hope has also died. Now there is no cure, you have to face the fact. No help from the outside is available, you have to depend...
... anywhere, because the spread of AIDS is not confined only to sexual intercourse. Just kissing somebody is enough, or even a tear of somebody... out of compassion you just wipe off the tear, and you may get AIDS. Any liquid coming out of the body may carry the virus. Hence I say to my people, stop kissing. Anyway, it is so unhygienic. Just think of the whole thing: mixing your saliva with somebody else...
... determined, there is no problem about it, because any liquid flowing from the nose may carry the virus. Massage each other's body - that will be healthy, relaxing. Lie down with each other and meditate together; hugging each other, meditating together. And you will be surprised that you can reach better orgasmic, blissful moments than by having intercourse - which is very momentary. Find out new ways, and...
... somehow to go to sleep, somehow to finish this nightmare. This is not love. Burn incense in your bedroom. No electricity, just candles. The dimmer the light, the more beautiful the body of your beloved looks. In darkness, all women become Cleopatra, all men become Romeo. Such a small trick... and you have Cleopatra and Romeo in the bed. And there is no need to make love either. Be loving, hug each other...
... thing you should also be made aware of: it is not only the woman who suffers the blues; man also suffers. But for centuries man has not been aware that he has a monthly course, for the simple reason that nothing comes out of his body, no blood - so he has been unaware. But you just keep a diary. Go on writing down your moods for three, four months, and you will be surprised that every month, after...
... understand how hunger can purify. If hunger purifies people then why should we try to destroy poverty? We are destroying pure people, spiritual people! We should make everybody hungry! Hunger cannot purify. And look deeply into it: while you are hungry you think that you are not eating, but your body is absorbing your own flesh. That's why you go on losing weight; otherwise where does your weight go? I...
... reserve to absorb. He cannot absorb bones. But all these people have stopped their following from thinking. I said, "My challenge is, that it is a simple fact that you lose weight - I simply ask where your weight disappears. You absorb it. "Your body needs some energy every day. Working, walking, sitting - whatever you are doing, your body needs energy, and food is simply fuel. If you are not...
... giving it fuel, then the body starts eating itself - it has a dual system just for emergency purposes. There may be a time when food is not available, you may be lost in a forest; the body accumulates some flesh for such times." But you cannot raise such questions. And secondly, if you fast you are depriving your intelligence. There is a hierarchy - just as in every household there is a certain...
... body, experts in England examined every possible kind of poison that may have been given to me. And they found one poison which is a category in itself. It is the only poison that disappears and cannot be found either in blood or in any other way except in the symptoms. And that poison, given in a big dose, kills the man immediately. That made it clear to me why I was dragged through six jails. It...
... was to give the poison in small doses so it would not kill me immediately, but would take years to destroy my body from inside. I have almost overcome the poison. Just in my hands, in the bones and particularly in the joints it is still stuck. I have been dancing with you without bothering about it. I would have continued, but today the pain became too much. But the pain is not the problem for me...
.... There is every evidence that from the whole body the poison has disappeared. Just in the hands it is there. It will have to disappear from the hands too, because you cannot destroy an innocent man; existence would not allow it. But I have to be a little careful now about the hands. Why have they not been able to silence me? Truth cannot be silenced, neither love nor joy. But this is the stupid thing...
... since we last danced." "I know," replies Lucy, looking at Fergus, "but I don't know how to get rid of this deaf and dumb idiot!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen. Now, look inwards with your total consciousness, with a great urgency, as if this moment is going to be your last moment on...
... remain aloof, a great Everest which goes even beyond the clouds. Just become a pillar of witnessing. To make it more clear, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax. Let go. You are not the body. You are not the mind. You are just a witness. Get deeper into this witnessing. This witnessing is the very point of departure from the ordinary to the extraordinary, from the mundane to the sacred, from the mortal to the...
... intelligent. Forget the idea that man is the only intelligent being on the earth. Yes, just as a tree is different from your body, it is different from your intelligence. But it has its own kind of intelligence. It has been found that the trees which move always in the direction where more water is available, more sun is available, more air is available, more space is available. How do they know which...
... sannyasins' dignity. I will not give you such any easy job. You have to live! And when I am not there, you have to live more consciously, more carefully - because who is going to spread me all over the world? Remember, dying is a very easy thing; it happens in a single moment. Living is the real challenge. My leaving the body will be a challenge for you, that now that I have left one body, I can be in all...
... another life circle; he has nothing left to learn. The world is just a school. If you go on committing mistakes in unconsciousness, existence will give you millions of chances to come back again and again until you get awakened and drop your mistakes. That will be your last embodiment. I am not going to be reborn in a body, because that would be just idiotic. When I can live in the bodies of millions of...
... my sannyasins, what is the point of again getting caged in one body? In fact, the enlightened consciousness simply spreads into all those who are available and open. It becomes universal. You are not going with me, but I am coming within you! Question 5: BELOVED OSHO, YOU SPEAK OF REINCARNATION. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT, AND I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING I DON'T EXPERIENCE. WHAT TO DO? Who...
...? Are you mad? Your body is absolutely sick! You come into my house, rest. I will call the doctor.'" I collected all these notes. The professor said, "Yes, since last night I have this feeling that something is going wrong. I am not exactly sure what is going wrong, but something is wrong. I feel a certain trembling inside, a fear, as if I am not going to last long." His house and the...
... house was in the valley. He said, "I am huffing, huffing... my body is trembling. I think there is fever, and there is much more which I cannot figure out." So he wanted a lift. And the professor who had passed him was sent by me: "Just when he is in a very bad situation, you stop your car and ask, 'What is the matter?'" In the car he said, "You should not have come, you...
... steps. They are of great importance to bring a new humanity on the earth. If Einstein's body is no longer capable of living, do you think it would not be good if his whole brain is transplanted into a young, healthy man? The new man will become an Einstein, because all the genius of Einstein is transplanted to a younger body. This way bodies may go on changing, but we can keep the genius of Albert...
... Einstein growing for centuries. And if a man in a seventy-year life can give so much, you can imagine if his brain continues for centuries how much benefit it will be for humanity, for the whole universe. This is really a wastage: the container gets rotten, and you throw the content also. The body is only a container. If the container has become dirty, old, unusable, change the container, but don't throw...
... "mind" is not the right word; you can read "brain" instead. But "brain" is only the body of the mind, the mechanism through which the mind functions. Whether you call it the mind or the brain does not matter; what matters is that everything has its center there. Doctor Eichling - I cannot call him Shunyo because in front of his office in Arizona, on his sign he has...
... in his place." I will call him Shunyo only when he buries his board deep down and jumps on it and disappears. But the story, or rather the gossip, was only to tell you that everything exists first in the mind, only then in the body. The body is an extension of the mind, in matter. Brain is the beginning of that extension, and the body its full manifestation, but the seed is in the mind. The...
... hardly see it - just glimpses. But in nine months the child certainly passes through the whole of life from its very beginning. In the beginning - and I am not quoting the Bible, I am simply stating the facts of every child's life - in the beginning every child is a fish, just as once the whole of life began in the ocean. Man still carries the same quantity of salt in his body as ocean water. Man's...
... is a very significant symbol. The musk is created in the deer's own body - it is created out of his own sexual glands; it accumulates near the sexual glands inside his body. But when it ripens, the fragrance of it starts coming out of his body. And the musk deer goes crazy. The smell is such that he wants to find from where it is coming. He runs this way and that, hither and thither; he goes mad...
... there have been spiritualists who think that the body has to be denied, pleasure is sin, and one has to only have spiritual bliss, pure, uncontaminated by the body. Their bliss is only an abstraction - it is not very substantial; it cannot be. It is like a flower in the sky without any roots in the earth. From where is it going to get nourishment? And then there have been people between the two who...
... this very moment becomes eternity. This very body the buddha, and this very place the lotus paradise. And awakening does not need time; not even a split second is needed for it to happen. It is only a question of a tremendous desire arising in you, of such a quality of intensity that you become afire with it. In that fire, the old is gone and the new has arrived. The old was never there in the first...
... of Buddha in his body. So he was tortured in many ways. He was not allowed to eat like other children, he was not allowed to play with other children, as any child would like to. He was guarded. He was not allowed to go to ordinary schools, he was almost completely kept a prisoner. And then getting up early at three o'clock in the morning, and then the ritual bath, and so many, many rituals...
... the theosophists. And that was one of the ugliest things that happened in this century. All kinds of fools gathered under the banner of theosophy, it was a hotch-potch. It was an effort to create a synthesis of all that is good out of all the religions. But no such synthesis is possible. And if you make such a synthesis you will only have a corpse on your hands, not an alive body, breathing...
... are not love." Or somebody says, "Only the color green is love, all others are not love." They condemn earthly love, they condemn sensuous love, they condemn the body. And that's where the difference is. To me, love is a ladder. One part of the ladder is resting on the earth -- not only resting but really rooted in the earth -- and the other end is touching heaven. They talk only of...
... this earth and I accept this heaven. I accept both the body and the soul, the outer and the inner. My teaching is that of total acceptance. You will be misunderstood. And it is not only that you will be misunderstood -- there is every possibility that you will misunderstand me too, because many of you will think that sex is all. And you can find quotes from my books easily supporting your standpoint...
... ARISE. BUT WHEN THE HEART ITSELF BECOMES COMPLETELY EMPTY, THE VARIOUS THINGS ALSO BECOME EMPTY. IF YOUR HEART IS DRIVEN ROUND NEITHER BY GOOD NOR BAD, THEN ALL THINGS ARE JUST AS THEY ARE. MASTER OTSU, COMMENTING ON THIS EMPTYING OF THE HEART, SAID: THE HEART BECOMES EMPTY, THE SITUATION QUIET, AND THE BODY JUST AS IT IS. WHEN SOMEONE SUCCEEDS IN REACHING THIS POINT, THE MIRROR OF HIS HEART SHINES...
...: when the man disappears, the shadow disappears. There is nothing beyond death, and there is nothing before birth. You are complete between birth and death; that's all you have. The second road defines man as a duality between matter and mind. Most of the philosophers of the world have chosen that definition because it seems completely rational. All that we know about man is that his body consists of...
... matter, and we know that he has thoughts which are not material. These things can be observed from outside. Hence, man is basically matter with an addition of a shadow that is his mind. As the body dies, mind also dies. On this path also, life extends only between birth and death. The third possibility, which has been accepted by all religions, is that man is not just matter or just mind; he is also a...
.... So the only thing worth consideration is not what is good and what is bad, but what is the origin from where your heart has come. It is an existential approach -- not theoretical, not philosophical. MASTER OTSU, COMMENTING ON THIS EMPTYING OF THE HEART, SAID: THE HEART BECOMES EMPTY, THE SITUATION QUIET, AND THE BODY JUST AS IT IS. Everything remains the same, nothing changes. This does not mean...
... wife's bed!" Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano ... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel the body absolutely frozen. Gather your consciousness inwards. This is what is meant by turning the heart from outside to inside. Look deeply. Find your roots. This silence is the miracle that you are carrying within yourself. Deeper ... and deeper ... and deeper, without any fear -- it is...
... is physical then there are ways to know it -- you can see yourself in a mirror. But if the beauty is coming out of your silence, out of your peace, out of your inner splendor -- it may radiate from your physical being but it does not belong to your physical body, it is not physical -- then there is no way to know it yourself, because it is not reflected in a mirror. You can experience it. The most...
... important thing to remember is that the beauty that you have seen in me is not my own, it is yours too -- it is everyone's. The bodies may be different, but the inner fire is the same. And when that fire starts radiating from your body, it creates a certain grace, a certain beauty. It is no one's monopoly. It is everybody's intrinsic potentiality. If you can see my beauty, that's an indication of seeing...
... GENTLY ONE BODY, ONE ORGANISM, ONE HEARTBEAT. AM I DREAMING? AM I ONCE MORE THE USUAL UTOPIAN? OH, AMORE, PLEASE TELL ME IT IS NOT A DREAM. Sarjano, it is a dream that is coming true, but it is a dream -- not your dream, but the dream of everybody who is here. It is impossible to find a man who is not carrying a dream of utopia, of a world which is better, more human, more beautiful, more loving; a...
... coming together again. People are returning and they are more experienced now. They know not to have a structure that is capable of being destroyed. Something totally new, a more organic body, not a dictatorial regime; no enforcement of ten to twelve hours' work, but a more joyous, life-affirmative. Each according to his need, each according to his choice. We are making every effort not to disturb...
... anybody's individuality, not to sacrifice any individual for the commune. On the contrary, make every individual as strong as possible, because that will be the total strength of the commune -- and the seeds have started sprouting. You are right, Sarjano, when you say, "Sometimes I am blessed by this overwhelming feeling that this commune is becoming gently one body, one organism, one heartbeat. Am I...
