... go on postponing. And life is very short; it is really short - seventy, eighty years. Out of seventy years one third is lost in sleep. Another one third is spent in just putting body and soul together - work, bread and butter. Another one third is spent in small trivia - driving from the house to the office, from the office to the house, saving, cleaning, taking a bath, eating.... Life is very...
... continues. That's what has happened to many christian saints. They are no more fighting with nature, no more fighting with man; they start fighting with themselves. They become very aggressive with themselves. They can flagellate their Own body; they can hurt their own body, they can destroy their own limbs. This is aggression turning upon itself. First they were murderers, now they have become suicides...
... closed eyes you can feel the light. The light is filling you. You are open and the light in entering you; it is making you luminous. That will be your constant meditation - what I told you just now. Whenever you are sitting alone, not doing anything, just feel light entering you from above. Soak it in, drink it, let it sink into your heart. Let it reach your whole body so that you disappear as a...
... material body and you become a body of light. It will come very easy to you, and it will do miracles. Deva udeepta. It means illuminated by god - deva means god, udeepta means illuminated. Mm? and that is your meditation. [A visitor says she feels Osho's spirit permeating her work as a movement therapist. She doesn't want to commit herself to sannyas until she can be here for a longer time.] That's right...
... extremes. A balancing happens. This balancing will give you a new dimension of feeling where you are both the knower and the known, the world and the other world, this and that, the body and the mind. You are both, and simultaneously neither - above both. A triangle has come into existence. You may have seen that many occult, secret societies have used the triangle as their symbol. The triangle is one of...
..., but if you can do it, then very wonderful, beautiful. Sitting, don't divide. Sitting in meditation, be inclusive of all - your body, your mind, your breath, your thinking, your knowing, everything. Be inclusive of all. Don't divide, don't create any fragmentation. Ordinarily we are fragmenting; we go on fragmenting. We say, 'The body is not me.' There are techniques which can use that also, but this...
... technique is totally different; rather, the opposite. Don't divide. Don't say, 'I am not the body.' Don't say, 'I am not the breath.' Don't say, 'I am not the mind.' Just say, 'I am all' - and be all. Don't create any fragmentation within you. This is a feeling. With closed eyes include everything that exists in you. Don't get yourself centered anywhere - be uncentered. The breath comes and goes, the...
... thought comes and moves. The form of your body will go on changing. You have not observed this. If you sit with closed eyes, you will feel that sometimes your body is big, sometimes your body is small; sometimes it is very heavy, sometimes just light, as if you can fly. You can feel this increasing and decreasing of the form. Just close your eyes and sit and you will feel that sometimes the body is very...
... big - filling the whole room; sometimes it is so small - just atomic. Why does this form change? As your attention changes, the form of the body changes. If you are inclusive, it will become big; if you exclude - this is not I, this is not I - then it will become very minute, very small, atomic. This sutra says: BELOVED, AT THIS MOMENT LET MIND, KNOWING, BREATH, FORM, BE INCLUDED. Include everything...
... for this sutra - inclusiveness, include. Include and grow. Include and expand. Try it with your body, and then try it with the outside world also. Sitting under a tree, look at the tree, then close your eyes and feel that the tree is within you. Look at the sky, then close your eyes and feel that the sky is within you. Look at the rising sun, then close your eyes and feel that the sun is rising...
.... But when the energy rises up for the first time in life, then, you realise, all the harm done, not only in this birth but in endless births of the past. We cannot have this experience till we have got the experience of the opposite. There is loss of energy after the intercourse, but the body is like a machine and replaces the lost energy. A small experiment was performed at California University in...
... days they lost all interest in sex. All sorts of stimulants were given to them but they sat there as if they had no concern with all those things What has happened? In fact, the body does not supply any energy. There is now no interest in the mind. It was only after three days of their taking food that they showed interest in sex. The body does not die by fasting but the energy decreases. The body...
.... Then the journey will be entirely different. Then there will be life without the body. It will be the life of pure Atma. Only the pure Atma is nonviolent. All things in the world are impure. Impurity can be more or less. There is nothing absolute in this world. There remains at least some imperfection in that which we call the most perfect. In this world even Rama, however great he may be, has some...
... eager to send us all to that place of no return, from where there is no birth again. They are the individuals who are eager to free us from birth and death. We wish to bring someone on the earth while they wish to free someone from this earth. Mahavira and Buddha also wish to give birth some to place which is termed moksha. They wish to send us there where there is neither body, miseries nor anguish...
.... They also are on the run to give you a new life, but they are not eager to give you a body. I shall narrate an event In the life ot Buddha which will explain this polnt to you. Buddha returns home after a period of twelve years. He had run away when Rahul was only one day old. He was now 12 years old. His mother was naturally dlspleased with Buddha and had told many things against Buddha to Rahul...
... initiated. An individual like Buddha gives birth to someone in some other Kingdom of life. So people like Buddha and Mahavira after the attainment of Supreme Knowledge, will not be willing to bring any Atma in the prison of a body. There is a prison in each of us all. People living in prisons have no idea of the world outside, of fiowers, of the sun, of the moon and stars, of the open sky, and of birds...
..., that thing, that great life which people like Buddha and Mahavira are seeing. We are imprisoned in this small body, and we wander and toil fcr this prison throughout life. We consider this a great life, an important life and think of giving births to other Atmas. While Buddha and Mahavira are busy in sending the evil souls away from here, in liberating them. There is a fundamental differencc in our...
... that birth is not the birth of a physical body, it is the birth of atma. It is a birth that cannot be seen. It is the birth of the unseen; not of the known but of the unknown. Mahavira and Buddha have given many such births. Mahavira had around him 50 thousand Sannyasis. Is Mahavira anything less than a father to them? Buddha had thousands of Sannyasis. Is Buddha anything less than a father to them...
... that! And Prem Chinmaya is faring well: he is going very steadily in his consciousness. The body is weak, but the spirit is not weak. The flesh is weak, but the spirit is very strong. In fact, his illness has been a great blessing to him. He has learned more from his sickness than from anything else. He has become more and more silent, accepting, unfearing. Even if death comes now he will be able to...
... receive it, welcome it as a guest. I am tremendously happy with him! When seven, eight years ago he had come to me, he was suffering from the same disease, but his fear was greater than the disease. The body has to go one day; nobody can live here forever. What excuse one chooses to go is a private affair. One can choose cancer, one can choose tuberculosis, one can choose heart attack; and there are a...
... victorious. Hence there is no need to worry about him. And any blood will do. Blood is blood; it goes only into the body, it does not affect your soul. But these ideas have existed for centuries: your food affects your soul, your clothes affect your soul.... These are all nonsense ideas! They affect you only if you are identified - but then anything will affect you. If you are not identified, nothing...
... person knows nothing, so it often happens that the healthy person will die with the first stroke and the unhealthy person may live long. His body has become seasoned, has become more tolerant of diseases. But remember, that is not the point at all. Whether Chinmaya lives a few years or not has no meaning anymore. If he lives, good; if he goes, he can go with joy in his heart, because his life has not...
... any rest. It is better to do whatsoever she is saying and be finished with it, so you can read your newspaper! All that nagging and all that misery can be tolerated because the woman fulfills a certain very deep need: she makes you earth-bound and she takes care of your body. She is not much concerned about your soul - that she leaves for you to think about - but she nourishes your body. She...
... decorative, it is not essential. He is continuously interested in sex.... The simple reason is that their sexualities are very different. Man has a local sexuality; his sex is confined to the genital organs, it is not spread all over his body. The woman is totally sexual, her whole body is sexual; it is not genital. Hence a woman needs longer foreplay before she can go really into lovemaking. And the man...
... is always in a hurry; his love is nothing but a hit-and-run affair! The woman is not even warmed up, and the man is getting dressed and going away! The man is finished. His sexuality is genital. The woman is more total; her whole body has a deep sexuality in it. Unless her whole body becomes involved she can't have orgasmic experience. And if she can't have orgasmic experiences she becomes...
... think and believe that everything else is going to end but not that it is going to end. The mind goes on saving itself, defending itself. Somebody dies. You see the dead body, but it never occurs to you that you are going to die. You sympathize with the family of the dead man. You say, "Poor man. He could have lived a little longer. He was not yet old enough. His family was so dependent on him...
... his hands just touches water, the water becomes a healing medicine. And water is deeply related to your body: eighty percent or more of your body is nothing but water. And have you watched what your breathing is doing to you? The breathing brings fire, it is oxidation. Your body is water, your breathing is fire: you exist with these two. When the breathing stops, the fire disappears: then the body...
... loses warmth; then it is dead. If water is gone from the body, the body becomes too hot, feverish - you will die soon. A deep communion between water and fire, a deep balance, is continuously needed. You eat food - through food, fire from the sun reaches your body. You breathe - through breathing, oxygen reaches in the body. You drink water, continuously water is being rep].:-ed in the body. Between...
.... It avoids seeing the death that has already entered, it avoids seeing that the body is no longer alive - it is a corpse: stinking, deteriorating. Jesus tried to relate himself to the old mind. He says to John: "You baptize me. Let it be so. SUFFER IT TO BE SO NOW: FOR THUS IT BECOMETH US TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEN HE SUFFERED HIM." John understood his point: otherwise Jesus would...
... meet him... but he looked very pale, sick. She asked, "What is the matter, is something wrong with you?" He said, "Yes. Whenever I have to sit, not facing towards the direction the train is going but facing the opposite way, then my whole body goes through a kind of feverish throbbing." The wife said, "But you could have changed your seat rather than getting sick." He...
... you is your divinity - that's what we are here to get. This whole world is just an experiment, a training school to make you aware of your being. Your being is the being of the whole existence. Your being and my being are not separate. Your body is separate, my body is separate, your mind is separate, my mind is separate, but your being and my being are one. To know oneself is to know the whole...
...." Nobody can be celibate, it is unnatural. It is just as stupid as somebody coming and saying, "Here is a great saint - he never urinates!" Are you going to believe it, that he never urinates? And even if he manages it, then he's the man everybody should escape from. He must be disgusting; from every pore of his body, urine must be coming out. That's what perversion is. You stop your...
... ALL FOR A SINGLE MOMENT OF LOVE? First, you will not be missing me wherever you are. We miss only our attachments, not our love. Attachment is to the physical body. Naturally, from far away you cannot touch the physical body, you cannot see the physical body. And you have never known anything more than the physical body. You have never known that which is there but cannot be touched - whether you...
... cannot separate us, because love is not of the body. And that which is of the body is only attachment, biological lust. Learn the secrets of love. Go into the depths of the poetry of love, move in the music of love, get centered in the consciousness of love, and there is no fear of losing anything. And you have asked, "What does it mean to lose everything for a single moment of love?" It...
... body, the mind, the brain - you are vulnerable to all kinds of diseases, to all kinds of accidents. But they are not happening to you. They are happening almost as if in a dream, to somebody else. The whole work of the mystery school is to somehow introduce you to yourself. That introduction is the introduction to existence itself. For centuries, man has lived in ignorance, in darkness. And in that...
... this?" But when a master shouts, the shout goes deeper into you than any hitting can go. Hitting can only touch your body, your head, but shouting can go piercing like a spear, and your very heartbeat may stop for a moment. Ma Tzu's great contribution was shouting, and certainly shouting goes deeper in stopping the mind than any hitting can do. You can see the difference: hitting is a material...
... just be here and dig deep. As you pass beyond your skull and beyond your bones, your skeleton, and you find the life source from where the life is spreading to your body and the mind, immediately you have found the eternal cosmic existence. Your small river of life is coming from the great ocean that surrounds you all around. It is the same ocean the trees are being nourished by, it is the same ocean...
... Mahavira. His test is absolutely correct. The question is, "How do we know that you are celibate?" Even to think in your mind about sex will immediately affect your body, and everybody will know that you are not celibate. In twenty-five centuries nobody has considered his scientificness about it. He is absolutely scientific, because behind the clothes you can be celibate and still enjoy dreams...
... naturalness, in your wildness, in your spontaneity. Question 1: Maneesha has asked: OUR BELOVED MASTER, IS OUR IDENTIFYING WITH OUR BODY AND/OR MIND ALL THAT IS PREVENTING US FROM BEING ONE WITH EVERYTHING? Yes, Maneesha. Identification with the body, with the mind, with our possessions, with our families, with our friends - any kind of identification takes you outwards. All your possessions will be...
... outwards: your wife, your husband, your children, your body - your body is outside you; your mind - your mind is outside you. The only thing that is not outside you is the witnessing. Just the watchfulness - that is your buddha. Identification means losing witnessing, falling into the trap of attachment. That is our misery, that is our slavery. Now it is time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh. He seems to be...
...; Nancy, takes a close look at the senile old president. "My goodness," she says, "how can you tell?" 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 is going to be the last moment of your life. Deeper and deeper, and you will...
... find the path. It is a small path, getting out of the mind, getting out of the body, and reaching to the source which is connected with the cosmos. Its only quality is witnessing. So just witness and be a buddha. A great silence will start falling over you and a deep desire, a deep longing to disappear into the cosmos will be felt for the first time. A great joy - for no reason at all - will fill...
..., but go on holding the witness. You are not the body, you are not the mind, you are the one who is seeing the body, seeing the mind; and as your witnessing deepens, your separation from others will disappear. The Buddha Auditorium starts becoming a lake of consciousness with no ripples, no distinctions - just a pure dance of bliss and ecstasy. Rejoice in it and collect as much experience of...
.... When you laugh, your soul and your body are one - they laugh together. When you think, your body and soul are separate. When you cry, your body and soul are one; they function in harmony. Remember always: all those things are good, for the good, which make you one whole. Laughter, crying, dancing, singing - all that makes you one piece, in which you function as one harmony, not separate. Thinking can...
... go on in the head, and the body can go on doing a thousand and one things; you can go on eating, and the mind can go on thinking. This is split. You walk on the road: the body is walking and you are thinking. Not thinking of the road, not thinking of the trees that surround it, not thinking of the sun, not thinking of the people who are passing, but thinking of other things, of other worlds. But...
... laugh, and if the laugh is really deep, if it is not just a pseudo-laugh, just on the lips, suddenly you feel your body and your soul are functioning together. It is not only in the body, it goes deepest into your core. It arises from your very being and spreads towards the circumference. You are one in laughter. Or in crying, or in dancing, or in singing! Whatsoever makes you feel ONE IS good, is...
... marketplace. It will be something that transcends both and implies both. It has to be like that, because man is body and soul together. The body needs the marketplace, the soul needs a monastery. Up to now, the monastery has existed against the marketplace - soul against body. And the marketplace has existed against the monastery - body against soul. I don't want to divide you. I want to create individuals...
... prayerful hearts - desire it, passionately desire it, then the soul that has disappeared into the cosmic soul can again become manifest in millions of ways. No true master ever dies, he cannot die. Death does not appear for the masters, does not exist for them. Hence they are masters. They have known the eternity of life. They have seen that the body disappears but that the body is not all: the body is...
... only the periphery, the body is only the garments. The body is the house, the abode, but the guest never disappears. The guest only moves from one abode to another. One day, ultimately, the guest starts living under the sky, with no shelter...but the guest continues. Only bodies, houses, come and go, are born and then die. But there is an inner continuum, an inner continuity - that is eternal...
... difficult to understand that you don't understand; these two are almost impossibilities. And the third is the only possibility: misunderstanding. These ten days have been of strange beauty, and of a mysterious majesty too. I no longer really belong to this shore. My ship has been waiting for me for a long time - I should have gone. It is a miracle that I am still in the body. The whole credit goes to you...
...: to your love, to your prayers, to your longing. You would like me to linger a little while longer on this shore, hence the impossible has become possible. These ten days, I was not feeling together with my body. I was feeling very uprooted, dislocated. It is strange to be in the body when you don't feel that you are in the body. And it is also strange to go on living in a place which no longer...
... belongs to you - my home is on the other shore. And the call comes persistently. But because you need me, it is the compassion of the universe - you can call it God's compassion - that is allowing me to be in the body a little more. It was strange, it was beautiful, it was mysterious, it was majestic, it was magical. And many of you have felt it. Many of you have felt it in different ways. A few have...
... MINDS THE LAW. Meditation will make you awake, strong and humble. Meditation will make you awake because it will give you the first experience of yourself. You are not the body, you are not the mind - you are the pure witnessing consciousness. And when this witnessing consciousness is touched, a great awakening happens - as if a snake was sitting coiled up and suddenly it uncoils, as if somebody was...
.... Death destroys nothing. The body is dust and falls into dust, and the consciousness has two possibilities: if it still has desires then it will move into another womb, or if all the desires have disappeared then it will move into the womb of God, into eternity. Nothing is destroyed. The body again becomes part of the earth, goes into rest, and the soul moves into the universal consciousness or moves...
... into another body. But you cry and weep and you carry your sadness for many days. It is just a formality, or if it is not a formality then there is every possibility that you never loved the man who has died and now you are feeling repentant; you never loved the man totally and now there is no more time. Now the man has disappeared, now he will never be available. Maybe you had quarreled with your...
... religions the women are not allowed to enter into the mosque or the synagogue. In Jainism it is said that you cannot be liberated from the body of a woman; first you will have to be born as a man, then only can you be liberated. From the body of a woman there is no way to God. Why? Why this fear? The reason is very psychological: man has always been afraid of women becoming happier than him, more peaceful...
..., outgoing, extrovert, and the female energy is introvert, passive, ingoing. Hence what Jainism says is absolutely wrong - not only absolutely wrong: just the opposite may be the truth. It is easier to enter into God through the body of a woman than through the body of a man. The woman's body is more harmonious, the man's body is not so harmonious. The woman's body is more balanced, more rounded; that's...
... why she looks so beautiful. Her body is less tense, more relaxed. Mothers become aware after a few months' pregnancy whether it is a male child or a female child in their womb, because the male child starts parading and doing things inside the womb, kicking... he cannot be at rest. You can watch small girls - they are perfectly happy sitting in a corner with their dolls. And the boys? - they can't...
