Be ordinary
Posted by : OWF - Monday, September 9, 2019 |
 I tell you to be just ordinary, because to try the extraordinary is a very ordinary thing - everybody wants that. And just to be ordinary, accept it, is very extraordinary because nobody wants it. I would like you to be just ordinary, so much so that nobody recognizes you as somebody in particular, so much so that you can be lost in the crowd. You will have a total freedom of being otherwise you have to continuously hold yourself up. Then you are continuously on display - and that becomes a tension, that creates seriousness, that becomes a heavy burden.
There is no need to be continuously in the show window. You can relax, you can laugh.
I allow you everything that is human. All that is human is yours. Laugh like human beings. Cry, weep, like human beings. Be ordinary.

That's what enlightenment is...
Posted by : OWF - Wednesday, September 4, 2019 |
 Enlightenment is attained in a single moment. Why? - because you are already enlightened. You have simply forgotten it. You have to be reminded, thats all.
The function of the Master is to remind you, not to give you a path but to give you a remembrance not to give you methods of cultivation, not to give you a character, virtue, but only awareness, intelligence, awakening.
In a single moment it can be attained because you have never lost it in the first place. You are dreaming that you are unenlightened. You can dream you are in heaven, you can dream you are in hell. And you know! - you dream sometimes you are in heaven and sometimes in hell. In the morning you can be in heaven and by the evening you can be in hell. One moment you can be in heaven, another moment you can be in hell. It all depends on you. It is something to do with your psyche it is not something outside you.

The river has become the ocean
Posted by : OWF - Wednesday, August 28, 2019 |
 You said enlightenment is individual, but does individuality remain after enlightenment?
No. Individuality does not remain after enlightenment, but enlightenment is individual. You will have to understand it. A river falls into the ocean. When it has fallen the river has disappeared - there is no individuality of that river left, but only an individual river falls into the ocean. You fall into the ocean of enlightenment as an individual: you cannot take your wife with you or your friend with you - there is no way. You go alone. Nobody can take anybody.

Swami Chinmaya leaves his body
Posted by : OWF - Friday, August 23, 2019 |
 Swami Yoga Chinmaya was already ordained as an old-style serious sannyasin when he met Osho in 1966. He was among the first group to take sannyas from Osho in Manali in 1970 For three years in Mumbai he was Oshos secretary, sharing that role with Ma Yoga Laxmi and was in charge of Oshos Hindi publications, editing many of his books.
In 1971, Osho asked Chinmaya to find him a new name to replace "Acharya," which he did, settling on "Bhagwan" after numerous names which didnt work.
When Osho went to Oregon, Chinmaya set up an ashram in Nepal but rejoined Osho in Pune Two until he left in 1989 for Bageshwar in the Indian Himalayas just west of Nepal, where he has had an ashram for many years. His role as a spiritual teacher was said to be low-key and low-profile.
When he was ill in 2018, he moved to Goa and was cared for by Swami Kris Thaker. Swami Yoga Chinmaya left his body on August 15, 2019.

Good and bad are all man-made
Posted by : OWF - Wednesday, August 21, 2019 |
 You say: "Good and bad have ceased to exist." That is good, thats beautiful. Good and bad are all manmade, sinners and saints are all manmade. And they are not different at all the difference is only superficial, very superficial, not even skin-deep. Scratch a little, and in your saint you will find the sinner.
This guy went to the pope and he said, "Hey pope, fuck you!"
The pope could not believe it. He said, "Me? The head of the Catholic Church? Me, the spiritual head of millions and millions? Me, the direct descendant of Jesus Christ? Me, the only representative of God on earth? Fuck me? Fuck YOU!"

Man s mind has a robot part in it

 Man s mind has a robot part in it
If you watch yourself, you will see in twenty-four hours how many times you go on changing your personality. And it becomes such an automatic process that you need not even make an effort to change it the change becomes automatic. You see your wife coming - it automatically changes. You see your boss coming - it automatically changes. It has been your routine for so long, that now.... |

Freedom from sex is a great experience
Posted by : OWF - Tuesday, August 6, 2019 |
 Beloved Master, Why am I tired of sex?
Sandhan, sex is tiring - and thats why I say to you: Dont avoid it. Unless you know its stupidity, you will not be able to get rid of it. Unless you know its sheer wastage, you will not be able to transcend it.
It is good that you have started feeling tired - that is natural. Sex simply means energy being dissipated downwards. The energy has to move upwards, then it is nourishing. Then it opens inexhaustible treasures in you - aes dhammo sanantano. But if you go on and on into sex like a maniac, soon you will find yourself utterly exhausted, wasted.
