... body. On the second step, you are witnessing the activities of the mind. On the third step, you are witnessing the activities of the heart. And on the fourth, you are simply witnessing your witnessing itself. So if you look at witnessing, it is just the same reality -- indivisible. But if you look at the objects of witnessing, then you can divide it into steps. The person who is witnessing only his...
.... The rock will disappear, will have to disappear. That is the way of existence." So as far as objects are concerned, you can divide the way into three steps: the body, the mind, the heart. The fourth happens on its own accord. Nobody can do it. If you can fulfill three steps totally and completely, suddenly there is a quantum leap. You find yourself at the very center of your being. The seer is...
.... At the age of twenty-nine, he had to rebel. He could see that these twenty-nine years had gone just without any meaning. The astrologers had said to his father that he should not be allowed to see a dead body, a sick man, an old man, a sannyasin. He was the only son of his father, born in his very old age, so the whole kingdom belonged to Gautam Buddha. And the father was very much afraid because...
..., it cannot be prevented." And then came a dead man's body being carried to the crematorium. And Buddha said, "What is happening?" The charioteer said, "This happens after old age. This is the last stage. After this nothing happens. This man is dead." Buddha had not even heard the word death. And then he saw a sannyasin who was just following the dead man's body. And he said...
..., the interiority which you were missing - although you were trying. And you were missing because you were trying. Don't try! Simply let it happen. And watch. Here, when you do the meditation every evening, your function is to watch very silently how the body makes itself comfortable. It is not a question of trying. You cannot try relaxation - only in America! There are books sold in millions of...
...; Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel your body to be completely frozen. Now look inwards with all your life energy, with all your consciousness, and with an urgency to reach the center of your being, urgently as if this could be your last moment. This moment, at your very center, you are the buddha. This is the only thing: witnessing, which is eternal...
.... Thousands of bodies you have lived in before, but you lived only outwardly. Don't miss this life. You are the buddha when you are witnessing the body as separate, the mind as separate, and yourself just a mirror reflecting. Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax. The body is there, the mind is there, but you are neither. You are the one who is witnessing, and that is the meaning of the buddha: the one who is...
... your own body? Why not merge into all your lovers?' That's why I started laughing because I knew this would be the answer. You unnecessarily made me look stupid before existence." If the disciple loves the master, if there is trust, and trust founded on experience, he will carry spontaneously the master's message. There is no need to say anything, he will be his master's message. Now something...
... silent. Close your eyes; feel your body to be completely frozen. Now look inwards, with absolute urgency, as if this is your last moment of life. Go as deep as you can. At the very end is your life source. The distance is not much. Just a little courage, courage to enter into the unknown and you are at the very source of life. This space is called the buddha. This is not an achievement; this is a...
... forgetfulness is the only sin. With your totality of consciousness look, and you will find you are the buddha. To make it clear, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Just watch and witness the body and the mind. You are neither the body nor the mind. You are just a pure witness. Your buddhahood consists only of a pure witness - a mirror - reflecting everything without being affected by anything. The evening was beautiful...
... take you unaware. Hence the beauty, because they are so unexpected. They suddenly knock at your door. The world disappears and you are transported into another dimension. Yes, those moments sometimes happen in drug trips too, hence the appeal of drugs... through alcohol also, but that is forcing your body chemically, coercing your body chemically. That is a kind of rape on the body chemistry. Rape...
... is making love to you; that too is not true. You are both engulfed, encompassed, by something called love. A climate called love, a cloud called love has possessed you both. You are not doing anything; you cannot do anything. It is happening... it is raining on you. You are both bathed in it but it is something from the beyond. It is a gift from god. Through drugs we can rape our body chemistry but...
... credit does not go to Buddha because Buddha comes twenty-five centuries later than Adinatha. But another credit goes to Buddha. Adinatha disposed of God but could not manage to put meditation in its place. On the contrary, he created asceticism, austerities, torturing the body, fasting, remaining naked, eating only once a day, not drinking in the night, not eating in the night, eating only certain...
... man has to detach himself from the world, has to detach himself from his own body. This distorted the whole thing. He had come to a very significant conclusion, but it remained only a philosophical concept. Adinatha disposed of God but left a vacuum, and Buddha filled it with meditation. Adinatha made a godless religion, Buddha made a meditative religion. Meditation is Buddha's contribution. The...
... question is not to torture the body; the question is to become more silent, to become more relaxed, to become more peaceful. It is an inward journey to reach to one's own center of consciousness, and the center of one's own consciousness is the center of the whole existence. Twenty-five centuries have again passed. Just as Adinatha's revolutionary concept of godless religion got lost in a desert of...
... beautiful personality, the Greek face and physiology; they picked up the idea of Buddha's face and body from Alexander. So all the statues that are being worshipped in Buddhist temples are statues of Alexander the Great, they have nothing to do with Buddha. But the priests had to create the statue -- God was not there, ritual was difficult, around meditation ritual was difficult. They created a statue and...
... ANYMORE ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT DANCING WITH YOU UNTIL MY WHOLE BODY IS ON FIRE. AM I LOSING MY MARBLES? Devageet, in the first place you never had any marbles. So you are absolutely safe; you cannot lose them. And even if one has to lose his mind, one is losing the only barrier that divides him from existence. The moment mind is lost, you suddenly find yourself in tune and in harmony. That is what is...
... and the truth that are born out of it. What is the womb of a woman, except nothingness? But out of that womb life arises. And where does life disappear after death? You burn the body. Life moves back into nothingness to rest. "A little rest on the wind," says Almustafa to Almitra, "and another woman will bear me as a child." Birth is from nothingness, and death takes you back...
... still here." So he used to call, "Bokuju, are you still here?" - and then he would say, "Yes, sir!" Then only would he get out of bed. His disciples said, "This is absolutely insane." He said, "It may be, in your eyes, but not in my eyes - because I am not Bokuju. Bokuju is the name of my body and my personality. After a deep sleep I want to know whether the...
... body is still there or not; otherwise, who is going to get up? And when I hear ?Yes, sir!' then I say, ?That's perfectly good: one day more to live, one day more to sing, one day more to love, one day more to dance.'" You are right. Because of the poverty of language, of the poverty of philosophy, of the poverty of religion, one cannot do anything better than what for thousands of years.... One...
... circle. Disidentify. You are neither the body nor the mind. You are simply the pure watcher. It is a simple method - the simplest possible method for the greatest experience - the most shortcut way. Whenever you have time - lying down on your bed, no special posture is needed, or standing under your shower - just remain a watcher: of the body, of the freshness of the water, of the coolness, and of the...
... thoughts that are passing in the mind. Just by watching, mind disappears. One day, you suddenly find an absolute silence within you - no traffic... the road is empty. The surgery is complete. You will not be born again in another body, although you will remain as part of eternal life. And don't be worried - I will be there. I am already there just calling you all to the sunlit peaks of consciousness from...
... consenting.... But now the problem has become of tremendous importance. It is creating a disease for which there is no cure, and a disease which has strange ways of infecting people. You may not come into sexual contact with any AIDS patient - still you can get it. Anything coming out of the body of the person carries the virus - even tears. If some child is crying, it is better to let him cry. Don't wash...
..., THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS MAD. BUT SHE LOVED ME VERY MUCH. AND ONE DAY SHE TOLD ME, "THERE IS NO REASON FOR ME TO HANG AROUND. NOW I HAVE GOT A MESSAGE. THERE IS SOMETHING I HAVE TO DO THROUGH THIS BODY. AFTER THIS I WILL FINISH MYSELF." WHATEVER SHE DESCRIBED WAS NOTHING I HAVE EXPERIENCED - I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS TRUE OR NOT, SO I CANNOT SAY THAT SHE WAS LIVING IN HER OWN IMAGINARY WORLD. BUT...
... and they prevented me from painting the sun because they thought it was the sun that has driven me crazy. Now I am released, I have painted the painting, completed it. My work is finished. I am absolutely feeling fulfilled. Now there is no need of this body; hence, I commit suicide." Who can say that this suicide is wrong or right? Who has the authority to say that? Millions of people are...
... have any reason to live, should not be forced to commit suicide, but they should be provided in nursing homes or hospitals with at least one month of rest, a peaceful atmosphere and a help to meditation, care of their body by the doctors. And one month's time so their friends can meet them, faraway people can come and see them, and they can learn how to be silent, how to be peaceful, how to die with...
... troublesome for himself and for others. He should be allowed to leave his body. That is the only spiritual philosophy which gives euthanasia a validity. And I also feel it is valid. It should be man's birthright - but not that a young man wants to die because his girlfriend has gone with somebody else. That will not be enough for euthanasia. That simply means he has to find another girlfriend. When there is...
... fiber of being, your every cell of the body should remember it -- not as a word, but as a deep feeling. The English word sin has been corrupted by Christianity -- they have given it a wrong meaning. Its original meaning is forgetfulness. Forgetfulness of yourself is the only sin there is, and to remember yourself is the only virtue. Gautam Buddha emphasized one single word continually for forty-two...
... it happens in the white body or in the black body, whether it happens in the young man or in the old man, whether it happens in a man or in a woman, it does not make any difference. It is the same experience, the same taste, the same sweetness, the same fragrance. The only person who is not intelligent is one who is running around all over the world in search of something, not knowing exactly what...
... your being. The naked reality of your being is the only hope of finding God. God is your naked reality -- undecorated, without any adjective. It is not confined by your body, not confined by your birth, not confined by your color, not confined by your sex, not confined by your country. It is simply not confined by anything. And it is available, so close: Just one step inside and you have arrived. You...
... say Yaa-Hoo! with your total energy, the sound comes from your very center, stirring your whole body, the periphery, the mind, every nerve. You can say it in a lukewarm way - then you will miss it. It has to be said exactly like the lion's roar, which comes from the belly. It is not just from your tongue - not even from your throat or your heart. It exactly hits just below the navel - two inches...
... and unaware man." His shout is existential language. In Zen they have symbols which are very significant. When you are out of yourself roaming around the world, you may be immobile in the body, but your mind is roaming around. This roaming mind is a guest, and the unchanging consciousness within you is the host. So there are many possibilities.... Two guests may meet who both are out of...
... praying. "Good God!" exclaims Saint Peter. "Ronald Reagan and his gang are discussing Osho again!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent... close your eyes. Feel your body to be frozen. Gather all your consciousness, your life energy inwards, and go deeper without any fear. It is your own being, and unless you know it, you will suffer from death and life...
... yourself. What was moving around outside was just a projection. The real host is within you always and always. To make it clear, absolutely clear.... Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax... let the body lie there, the mind far away, and you are simply a watcher. Nothing has to be done, just watch. This watching is your original nature, unspoiled, undisturbed. It is just like a mirror. It has reflected many...
