This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho: “The man who simply lives as if he is on a morning walk, not going anywhere, that man is spiritual. His life is holy.”
Phoebe would like to point out that we all have all the twelve zodiac signs in our horoscope – some with planets in them and some are empty – meaning some of the themes addressed are in the foreground and some in the background of our lives. “I recommend readers to read all twelve quotes, not just their star sign, for a wider perspective on the themes of the month,” she says.
Mood of the Month
“Life delights in itself, energy delights in itself. It is like a child, jumping and dancing and shouting. If you ask him for what purpose, he will be surprised at your foolish question. Shouting, jumping, dancing is enough. What other purpose is needed? But as you grow older you forget this. You start doing things only if they pay, if there is a good payoff… There is no purpose at all! This understanding brings freedom; this understanding is what I call spiritual insight… The man who simply lives as if he is on a morning walk, not going anywhere, that man is spiritual. His life is holy.”

“Your mind is full of desires. You may be thinking that you are having spiritual desires – for bliss, for God, for truth – but all desires are worldly… At least in your life do one thing without any motivation, for the sheer joy of it, and from there starts bliss… Not to live through motivation is the way of bliss. But there are people who are continuously thinking of gaining this, of gaining that, whose whole idea of life is through motivations… Live through motivation and you are living in the world of misery; live without motivation and you are a sannyasin.”

“When you are alone, sitting silently, not with anybody, in a tremendous celibate state, just alone, one becomes replenished, rejuvenated. That’s why meditation makes you younger, makes you livelier. You start sharing something with existence. Your energy is frozen no more; it starts flowing. You are in a kind of dance, as stars are, a song arises in you… The future is your concern no more… only this moment exists. Watching a sunrise, or looking at a white cloud floating in the sky, or just being with a tree, silently communing, or observing a bird on the wing… you are one in that moment – integrated!”

“My whole effort is to make you aware of your responsibility, because only by becoming aware of your responsibility do you become mature, you become grown-up. And remember, just growing old is not synonymous with being grown-up. Everybody grows old; very few people grow up. What is the meaning of growing up? Taking all the responsibilities good and bad, whatsoever happens to you – you are responsible for it. This vision will help you to grow, because if you are responsible you become more conscious of each step that you take.”

“If you want to be a musician or a poet, be a musician, be a poet… You will be at least happy that you are doing your own thing, not somebody else’s thing. And this is my experience: that to be doing one’s own thing is the greatest joy in the world, whatsoever that thing is, appreciated by the society or not, valued by the society or not, whether it can be sold in the marketplace as a commodity or not. If it is the thing that you passionately desire, intensely desire, then do it and, whatsoever the cost, sacrifice yourself for it.”

“If you go on asking deep inside yourself, ‘Who am I?’ and you don’t accept any false answer given by the mind from the labels attached to you, that you are this or that… If you don’t accept any answer given by the mind and you go on asking and asking, and the question penetrates your heart like an arrow and goes deeper and deeper to the ultimate core, there suddenly is the explosion… You have come to your source.

Looking, look watchfully, and you will see trees are greener than they have ever been and roses are rosier than they ever have been. Listen. Somebody is talking, gossiping – listen, listen attentively. When you are talking, talk attentively. Let your whole waking activity become de-automatized, and then you will be surprised – the moment it happens your dream activity will have a new perspective.

When you don’t need somebody’s help you remain unconcerned, cold, no smile… Just go on watching yourself. That is the meaning when I say to you, let your relationship be a mirror… Are you wearing masks continuously? Is there a moment in your life when you drop all masks and you are simply yourself? Is there? If there is not then there is no moment of love in your life… Love means a relationship in which one need not wear any mask.”

And if you don’t know from where you are coming, how can you know where you are going? Still you think there is great purpose in life. Still you think that your life is meaningful.

And that is the first thing any intelligent person will do.”

“Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new. The old is familiar, secure, safe – the new is absolutely unknown. You will be moving in an uncharted ocean… With the old the mind is skilful – the mind can function only with the old. With the new the mind is utterly useless. Hence fear arises and, leaving the old, comfortable, safe world, the world of convenience, pain arises… because the transformation is going to be from the state of self to the state of no-self.”

The orthodox, the conformist, is past-oriented, and the revolutionary, the rebel, is future-oriented… The revolutionary… thinks the Golden Age is to come. It is in the future… the world of freedom where exploitation will have disappeared and paradise will descend on earth… You need not go anywhere, neither in the past, nor in the future.

“I teach you self-love. But remember, self-love does not mean egotistical pride, not at all. In fact it means just the opposite. The person who loves himself finds there is no self in him. Love always melts the self – that is one of the alchemical secrets to be learned, understood, experienced… Ego and love cannot exist together. They are like light and darkness. When light comes, darkness disappears… Self-love means the self disappears. In self-love there is no self ever found… The more you love yourself the less you will find of the self in you, and then it becomes a great meditation, a great leap into God.”
