Mood of the Month
“A moment comes in meditation when the whole life that you have lived up to now simply appears meaningless…. One simply feels fed up with life, fed up with everything. There is nothing wrong in it. It is a good indication. If you can live with it for a few days, if you can be with it, it will disappear… The old house is crumbling, collapsing, and the new house is not yet on the horizon. You cannot see anything of it because you are the old house, so you will crumble and disappear. And in your disappearance arises something which is completely discontinuous with your past. That is the new being, the spiritual being. Then one can live again!”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 8
Aries
“Patience is nothing but a fragrance of trust. The night is dark but one trusts that the dawn is coming. Each moment it is coming closer and closer… Patience is of two types – the positive and the negative. Negative patience simply means a sort of lethargy, not doing anything, just waiting for some miracle to happen… Then a sort of dullness arises, a sort of stupidity, insensitivity, a deadness… The real patience is positive, active, creative… Your doing is needed and your passive, alert, patience also. When these two things meet, the effort and patience of man, grace descends!”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 3
Taurus
“Become more and more loving. Go on sending love messages all around – to people, to animals, to trees, to rocks. Even, if you are sitting in an empty room… to the very emptiness. Just go on sending vibrations of love… From this moment start feeling loving for no reason at all but because the very feeling is such a beatitude… The more loving you feel, the more happy you will feel… People are unhappy because they have no loving state of energy, that’s all. A happy person is one who has a loving energy. An unhappy person is one who has a non-loving energy.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 1
Gemini
“A great potentiality is there in you. Never think that the actual is the end of life. The actual is a very tiny part of the possible. The possible is vast; the actual is very small. The actual has a definition; the possible is infinite. It has no definition. So live with the actual but always remain open for the possible. And there is no end to it. One can simply go on growing and growing from one perfection to another perfection, from one door of mystery to another door of mystery. The journey is eternal… And that’s what meditation is – a door into the actual towards the possible.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 2
Cancer
“Something just has to be dropped. Nothing has to be added to you to become a sage… When the room is too full of furniture there is no room in it. Room means space… You ask how to create a room, I say there is no need – the room is already there. You simply discard a little junk… You negate a few things, and the most important is the ego. If you negate the ego you are a sage. And with the ego many things go automatically – the anger, the violence, the aggressiveness, the possessiveness. They all disappear with the ego. They are shadows of the ego. Then you are just an emptiness!”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 7
Leo
“There are only two possibilities to conquer: either you conquer others or you conquer yourself. Those who conquer others ultimately come to know that their whole effort has been in vain. They have simply lost their soul and nothing has been attained. Their hands are empty in the end. They come empty, they go empty. And their whole life is nothing but a tale told by an idiot, full of fury and noise, signifying nothing… The wise man tries to conquer his own being… He wants to become the emperor, not of others, not of things, not of anything that is outside, but of all that belongs to his inner being.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 6
Virgo
“Ordinarily we are more aware of misery. We are more aware of pain, more aware if something goes wrong, more aware of illness, disease, less aware of health, well-being. That creates much trouble, because if you are too much aware of pain you help pain to be there, you feed it… It is as if somebody goes to a rosebush and counts the thorns and there are many. Then one starts disbelieving the rose. How is the flower possible amidst so many thorns?… And if you start disbelieving the flower the flower disappears from your vision, because only that which is believed appears in your vision.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 8
Libra
“One has to get out of this frozen state of being a spectator. Start moving, because that will bring life to you. Life is only for those who are committed, involved… Certainly when you get into things, you get into troubles also. It is very easy to sit before the TV and see people loving each other. Nothing is at stake. You can turn it off any moment. But if you fall in love… you cannot turn it off so easily. There will be anxiety and turmoil and conflict and struggle, but that is beautiful – that is what life is! It will create many troubles but it will bring many pleasures also. There will be many ups and many downs. Those downs are worthwhile because they are what life is all about.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 8
Scorpio
Become more and more river-like. Never allow anything to become stagnant. Never allow anything to become frozen. The moment you see that something has become frozen, do something… So whenever you feel that something is becoming dead, stale, stagnant, no more flowing, there is no more movement, then whatsoever the risk get out of it… If it is love, get out of it. If it is meditation, get out of it. Whatsoever it is remember only one thing – that life is in flowing and… in being a total flow one becomes divine.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 7
Sagittarius
“One has to learn from many sources, and one should never be closed to any possibility. One should trust in life itself, and in many forms you will be helped. All the forms are of the divine, so never make any conflict between masters… Be absolutely contented with the world but never be contented with yourself, because the more you grow, the more you know there is. When you reach one peak, suddenly higher peaks confront you and greater challenges. It is a non-ending, eternal process.”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 4
Capricorn
“Always count the blessings, and they are infinite. Become more and more aware of the days and less and less concerned with the nights, and one day you will see that days and nights are not antagonistic to each other. They are complementary – pain and pleasure are part of one whole… When a consciousness is there without any grudge without any complaint, then a gratitude arises… that life is good, that you are happy that you are, that you are happy that an opportunity was given to you… You are simply happy that you are blessed and you can bless others!”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 8
Aquarius
“Energy is there but you are holding it, and you have never allowed it to have its course. You have been rather a sort of controller, a disciplinarian. You have been trying to remain in control, and that control is very, very dangerous. All control has to be lost. One has to become possessed by the divine. It is really a possession. If you go very cleverly you will never reach. It is only for mad people who can rush into it, not caring at all about what is going to happen. It is for gamblers!”
Osho, God Is Not for Sale, Ch 7
Pisces
“There have been many mystics who have said that when you attain to truth you will be blissful. I say to you that if you are blissful, only then can you attain to truth. So… start being blissful and truth will take care of itself… Whenever it wants to come it can. Or when it wants to delay it can. Who bothers? Joyousness should be the only prayer and celebration is the only sanctity… To be miserable in this beautiful world is to be in sin… Participate in the celebration that is going on in the stars, in the rivers, mountains, flowers, animals, man, woman. Become part of this orchestra and you will become virtuous. I count happiness as the only virtue.”
