Phoebe’s horoscope for September with quotes from Osho: “Life’s door, love’s door, God’s door – they all open when you are playful.”
Mood of the Month
“Be light, weightless, happy in this moment… you play, and the work happens by the side. My whole emphasis is to be playful… When you understand how to play, how to be playful with me, around me, you have opened the door. That door opens automatically – you never open it. You simply play and it opens. That is the secret formula to open it. Life’s door, love’s door, God’s door – they all open when you are playful. They all become closed when you become serious, when you become work-oriented. Then you miss.”
Osho, The True Sage, Ch 10, Q 3

“No need to struggle… no problems are ever solved. People who are trying to solve them are moving in a false direction. They may find some solutions, but those solutions will be homemade because problems are existential and solutions will be mind-products… Every solution creates more problems than it solves. The right path is to grow out of them, to grow beyond them, to transcend them. Problems can never be solved, but they can be dissolved.”

“Only when the false disappears the real arises. Soon a different quality of love will happen when you have settled within. But then it will not be a need. Then it will not be a desire. Then it will not be a relationship; you will be simply loving. It will be just a quality of your being. And then it has a totally different flavour. Then it never creates bondage. Then you share unconditionally. Then your love is just the way you are.”

“You cannot love two women or two men simultaneously. If you do, that simply shows that you are split, that you have two personalities, that you are not one… Love is not a small thing; it is not a trifle. It is very essential. If you love one person totally you will become integrated. Your very love to one person will make your life focused; the division will disappear… You will become integrated by pouring your love into one person, in one direction, because love is your deepest core of being.”

“Never ask for sympathy. Never! Once you ask for sympathy you will never be able to love… Sooner or later somebody is going to give sympathy, and then the fear arises that if all one’s problems are solved then this sympathy will disappear. And it will disappear, that too is true, because it is not love… Make it a give and take, make it balanced. And to be loved is not such a joy as to love. To be loved is beautiful but there is a higher joy, and that is of loving.”

“Ego does not want to be criticized and wants to criticize everybody. Become aware of the strategy of the ego, how it nourishes itself, how it protects itself. Unless you become absolutely aware of all the cunning devices of the ego, you will never be able to get rid of it. And to get rid of it is the beginning of a religious life… Then you are no more worried what others say about you… Praise or criticism, it is all alike. Success or failure, it is all alike.”

“Just be yourself. Carry no idea about how you should be – drop all ‘hows’, drop all ideas, drop all ideologies, drop all concepts, images of how you should be. You are already that! Start enjoying that which you are, and then this very ordinary life suddenly becomes extraordinary. Then these ordinary days have such tremendous poetry… Then these ordinary people are no more ordinary people – they turn into gods and goddesses. The moment you accept your being you accept everybody’s being.”

Start looking for flowers, and they have always been there just waiting for you to look at them. Love should be our continuous choice. Find out ways and means in every situation so that you can love… You can always find something, even in the worst man. You just have to look for it.

“The first thing is that you have to take care of your body. You have not been good to it in the past. Now be friendly to it. Almost start a love-affair with your body, because unless you love your body nothing can happen… Your body is your base. It is your earth. You are rooted there… So feel happy with the body. Enjoy the feel of it and become more sensitive. Let the body become more alive… The tree will go very far away from the earth. It will flower in the sky, but it will remain rooted in the earth.”

“Freedom is the ultimate value. Everything else becomes valuable through it, even love. And if it is missing then nothing is of any value. Then life is trivial, mundane. Then life, at the most, is only a survival, but it can’t have any significance. One can survive without freedom; maybe one can survive in more security and safety without freedom. A slave survives perfectly well… But, once you are freed from your responsibility and challenges and dangers, your soul is destroyed.”

Everybody who is born is born with the inner capacity to love and be loved. Just start! In the beginning your mind will prevent you… So let it be a game of ‘as if’.

“You are like driftwood. The wind blows that way, you drift that way. The wind blows this way, you go this way. The driftwood cannot say that it wanted to go south but it is going north, and it feels guilty… Whatsoever is being done is not because of you – circumstances have done it… Become more aware and more humble. If something happens that you cannot avoid, accept it in humbleness. Ask to be forgiven – pray and cry and weep – but don’t feel guilty. Guilt is the way of the ego.”
Osho, Nothing to Lose but Your Head, Ch 15
