Mood of the Month
“Man’s reason is connected with the sun. Man’s intuition is connected with the moon. And it is not only the ocean that is affected by the moon. All beings on the earth – trees and animals and birds and man are affected. The moon creates a kind of pulsation. Many more people go mad on the full moon night than on any other night… Many more people have become enlightened on the full moon night than on any other night… If the moon can drive you mad then it can also drive you enlightened. The mad person is one who didn’t know what to do with that juice. The enlightened is one who knew the art to transform his madness into a new vision!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 6
Aries
“Life belongs to the quick. Life belongs to the foolhardy, to people who are capable of taking risks. To be quick means to take the risk. To be quick means to move into life without a plan and without a map and without a conclusion. That is the danger of life and that is the beauty too… Consciousness should be there but no thought, so that you can immediately – immediately – instantly move into action… If you hesitate, think, decide… you will always go on missing the train. You will reach the platform only when the train has left!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 20
Taurus
“The future will have to find a different kind of religion – a religion of creativity, a religion of joy and celebration, and a religion which is basically aesthetic… If a man only keeps alert about beauty all will happen. Then you cannot be violent because violence is ugly. You cannot torture yourself or anybody else because torture is ugly. Once you start living beauty in life all else becomes possible, easily possible… Everybody is carrying that splendour in the heart. It has to be released, the imprisoned splendour has to be released!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 18
Gemini
“My whole approach is to drop all inhibitions, all taboos, to drop all repressions and become again Adam and Eve. And the garden has not disappeared… The garden is there, it has always been there. It cannot go anywhere else and man cannot go anywhere else because the whole existence is the Garden of Eden… What is creating the trouble, that is the mind. The tree of knowledge is nothing but where the apples of the mind arise. Once the apple is thrown out, once the mind is no more the master of your being, things start flowing again. Again there is joy and again there is dance. Again there is love, and life, and eternity!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 4
Cancer
“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, it is sympathy. If it is love it will not disappear… To be loved is beautiful but there is a higher joy and that is of loving… Love is a flower. While it is there let it be shared. While it is there let the fragrance be released!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 3
Leo
“Love is simply love, it is no one’s. When it is somebody’s it is not real love. It has the bitterness of the ego in it… Your ego is creating the problem that it should be yours, that you should be in possession… Don’t be a victim of the ego. Just put the ego aside. Don’t think in terms of ‘mine’. Just forget all that about that ‘me’ and ‘my’. And suddenly you will see that love is like the sky… The sky cannot be anybody’s. We are all in it and it is in all of us. It is no body’s, nobody can claim. So is the case with love!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 29
Virgo
“Misery is simply an indication that the man has not lived his life as he should have – with intensity, with passion, with authenticity, with sincerity… One should not be afraid to commit errors. That fear cripples many, paralyses many so they only open a small door of their life, afraid that if they open all the doors they may not be able to manage. Maybe so many things will start happening and they will not be in control. There is no need for you to be in control. Open all the doors, all the windows. Let the sun and the rains and the wind come (in)!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 3
Libra
“Basically what people call love is a fear of being alone. They need somebody… They stuff themselves with somebody, they cling so that they are not lonely… The lowest form of love is because you cannot bear to be lonely, so you have to be with somebody or other. The real love starts only when you are capable of being alone. Then the need disappears, sharing arises… Then only does love become possible. Then you start flowering, overflowing. It is a gift. Love is not a need, it is a gift! ”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 2
Scorpio
“Love knows how to forgive. Not only does one have to forgive others, one has to forgive oneself too. And that is the hardest thing because we have been taught to feel guilty. We are burdened by guilt. A burdened man cannot grow, and one who feels guilty feels always sick. He does not allow his wounds to heal. So I teach you to forgive others but even more to forgive yourself. Out of that forgiveness a great love for yourself will arise!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 25
Sagittarius
“This is the paradox – that the goal has already been achieved before the journey has even started. It is not something new that is going to happen. It is the ancient-most in you. You may have to knock on many doors before you come to yourself… You may have to go around the world before you arrive at yourself, that is another thing. But when you arrive you see the whole ridiculousness of the journey, because the goal was before the journey had even started… That’s what Hakuin means when he says: From the very beginning all beings are Buddhas!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 12
Capricorn
“Energy is more right than your mind, so wherever the energy leads simply follow it. The mind is very destructive. The mind is against energy. It always wants to control your energy… Because of its control it does not allow many things which are natural, which are needed. And if a person is to grow rightly all kinds of energy phenomena are needed… If it is condemned it goes into the unconscious, it hides there. Energy is a woman; the mind is a man. And energy is far wiser than the mind because the mind is a very late-comer. Energy has always been here!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 4
Aquarius
“You have not to ‘achieve’ the state of non-desiring. It is not a result, is not a goal… Desire cannot be dropped by desiring. It is absurd to try because you are again nourishing another desire… Non-desiring is not against desire, it is absence of desire. And how does the absence come? Absence comes through seeing it. You see that this is a wall and try to pass through. The wall hurts, that’s all. So you don’t pass through the wall, you search for the door… Desire is a wall. Nobody has been able to pass through it. It creates suffering that keeps bringing you back again and again and again!”
Osho, The Open Door, Ch 14
Pisces
“If you can love and forgive then nothing else is needed. If you cannot forgive, you cannot love. If you cannot love, you cannot forgive. Only great love knows how to forgive, and only great forgiveness knows how to love. Otherwise everybody has limitations. If you cannot forgive you will not be able to love. Everybody commits mistakes. That is human, to err is human. To forgive is divine. And the more you forgive the more you start moving towards the divine!”
