Seeing is nude
Posted by : OWF - Monday, May 27, 2019 |
 What is the difference between looking and seeing?
There is a great difference. Looking means you are looking for something you have already some idea to look for. You come here and you say, "I am looking for Teertha" then you have an idea. Then you look all around for where Teertha is. The idea is there already.
Looking is already prejudiced. If you are looking for God, you will never find Him - because looking means you have a certain idea already of who God is. And your idea is bound to be either Christian or Judaic or Hindu or Mohammedan. Your idea is going to be your concept - and your concept can never be higher than you. And your concept is bound to be your concept. Your concept is bound to be rooted in ignorance, borrowed. At the most, it is just belief you have been conditioned for it. Then you go on looking.

Good and bad are all man-made
Posted by : OWF - Tuesday, May 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!"
There is not much difference. Just scratch a little, and you will find sinners in the saints and you will find saints in the sinners. All good, all bad, is just arbitrary, man-made. |

Himalaya must have grown after Rigveda
Posted by : OWF - Monday, May 13, 2019 |
 From my very childhood, my relatives, my neighbors, my well-wishers used to say, "The way you are growing, you will end up as nothing," because I used to sit for hours silently by the side of the river. And people became so accustomed, they would not even ask what I was doing, because I was not doing anything at all.
But their prophecy was right. I ended in nothing. But that is the greatest blessing if you can end up being nothing. Good for nothing... only out of that nothingness blossom thousands of roses.

All alternatives have to be tried

 Q: Why do you live like a king?
Why not? I am an old Jew! You know Jews - if you ask them a question, they answer it with another question.
There is a famous story about a king. He had many Jews in his court because they were rich people, but he was very annoyed by their habit. Whenever he asked anything, they would answer it with another question. He became so tired, so irritated that he asked his Grand Vizier, What to do about these people? They cannot be thrown out of the court, but they annoy me very much. Whenever I ask something they always answer with another question.

Live a little hot!
Posted by : OWF - Monday, April 29, 2019 |
 Beloved Osho,
What is the goal of life and how can it be achieved?
My whole life I have been telling you there is no goal!
Life is its own goal.
There is nothing outside life that you have to achieve.
All achievement is the projection of the ego.
The very idea of achievement is ambition.
What you achieve does not matter - money, power, knowledge these are not in any way going to give you life. In fact, in achieving power, in achieving money, in achieving prestige, in achieving any other ambition, you are losing your life, you are sacrificing your life.

Not talking about it

WHATEVER HAPPENS,
NOT TALKING ABOUT IT
MAKES FOR PEACE.
Kyorai was not only a poet, but also a master. Saying this - "WHATEVER HAPPENS, NOT TALKING ABOUT IT MAKES FOR PEACE" - he is talking about his own commune.
I have been asked again and again why I declare people enlightened only when they die. This is simply to keep the peace of the commune. If I declare somebody to be enlightened, you will kill him. You will not be able to tolerate that this man has become enlightened. You will find a thousand faults in him, you will condemn him, and you will be very jealous.

The Buddha Disease
Posted by : OWF - Tuesday, April 16, 2019 |
 Chinmaya was one of the fist disciples of bhagwan and has been living in the ashram with the two dozen or so other Indian sannyasins for some year now. Over the past year particularly. He has come to be regarded—not unkindly—as the ashram’s pundit or mulla nasrudin alternately. The questions he puts to bhagwan in the morning discourse are invariably lengthy and very intellectual, setting chinmaya up for the inevitable Zen whack from bhagwan and friendly chaffing from fellow-sannyasins! |

Osho Padmasambhava prophecy
Posted by : OWF - Monday, April 8, 2019 |
 Padmasambhava says, "When the iron bird flies, the dharma will come to the land of the red man." is it part of your work to fulfill the prophecy?
I am not here to fulfill anybodys prophecy. And why should I? It may be Padmasambhavas trip, but why should he force his trip on me? I am here to be myself. I am not a prophet, and I am not here to deliver somebody from their sins. I am not here to bring an age of religion. All these things are mediocre and stupid.
