My beloved ones, I love you.
Q: You made me realise I was a coward and I accepted it and was happy. Now I am getting a feeling that I am becoming brave, and I am scared.
Boredom is absolutely human. A buffalo is never bored, a donkey is never bored – only man, only a highly evolved consciousness. If you are not bored with your life, it simply shows that you live in a very low state of consciousness. A Buddha is bored, a Jesus is bored, a Mahavira is bored
Beloved Master, some scientists are concerned that man will some day relinquish his intellectual supremacy to computers – monster artificial super-brains with an intellectual power far beyond anything we can now comprehend.
Nothing has happened And nothing will happen. What is there, is there. This is a tremendously significant sutra. All the scriptures can be condensed in such a sutra. If you can understand only these three lines, there is no need to understand anything else. Look at your life from your childhood up to now. What
Osho, I feel very worried seeing your state of health. You have been pouring out your soul as you reach out to the world, but instead of changing, people wanted to destroy you. Why do you still make such an effort?
The positive people have to come out in the light, and tell with emphasis their own experiences and what they understand about me and my relationship to my people. Unless they come out and do it, they are in an indirect way helping the negative people. Because if those negative people are not contradicted, it
In chapter 21 of Glimpses of a Golden Childhood, Osho says that Shambhu Dube, Shambhu Babu, “was a poet, but never published his poetry while he was still alive…
“According to Lao Tzu, good and evil is like night and day, and since god has made man independent, he can do good or evil as he chooses. But why is it that nature does evil? The floods come and innocent people get drowned, or a fire rages and people are burnt to death. There are so many natural catastrophes.”
The second question – it is from Hareesh:
A white and small aura is visible just over your head. Why is not a coloured one visible?
Wilhelm Reich says in his book, ‘Listen, Little Man’, that he found that man reaches out with his life energy when he feels well and loving; that he retracts that energy when he is afraid.
Q: A visitor here observed that there is an agelessness in the people around you. What is the explanation for this?
Osho speaks on James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis and suggests he should look to the East for support.
Osho,
What is this dream of yours which you have been working so hard to realize for the past twenty–five, thirty years, ignoring all kinds of hindrances and obstacles?
It has to be understood very clearly that nobody has a duty to spread my vision, my message to the people. I hate the very word missionary. These are the ugliest creatures on the earth. I don’t want to create missionaries. You have to be utterly selfish, concentrated on only one aim: becoming enlightened. As
If the whole history of the world were condensed into one year, with us standing at the end of that vast year, it would look something like this:
America is in the grip of a very monstrous regime, and naturally they became afraid of a small commune that could become a model and people could become attracted to it. They were not so much afraid of Soviet Russia – it is so far away. We were amidst them. And their fear is natural.
Hazrat Rabi’a al-Adawiyya al-Qaysiyya (714 – 801 CE) also known as Rabi’ah al-Basri is considered to be the first female Sufi Saint of Islam, the first in a long line of female Sufi mystics. She was born and lived most of her life in Basra, a seaport in southern Iraq. Rabia was born into a
“Many individuals who take birth and attain higher consciousness on this earth, have to seek birth on other planets,” states Osho.
Osho states, “Just as a tree leaves seeds behind before dying, similarly the body too leaves behind seeds before it meets death.”
Beloved Osho, A few months ago my friend and I were visiting his dying father. Lots of people were around. His body was about finished.
Q: You have defined yourself as the rich man’s guru. Don’t the other people interest you? Are the rich particularly in need of a guru? Or are you their guru because they have money?
What do you call freedom? – mostly the political, the economic, the outside freedom, which is not in your hands, which has been given to you.
Osho speaks on hypnosis and its use for childbirth and the ecstasy which can be experienced while giving birth.
“A man of awareness does not need anybody else to tell him what to do, what not to do,” states Osho.
Meditation is not a solution of any problem in particular; it solves nothing. It simply helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem-creator. It simply helps you to slip out of the mind as a snake slips out of the old skin. Once you know you are not the mind the great transcendence
This always happens: when I say something, I create two groups of people around me. One group will be exoteric. They will organize, they will do many things concerned with society, with the world that is without; they will help preserve whatsoever I am saying. The other group will be more concerned with the inner
Q: I have heard that you sometimes make up questions to fit your jokes. Is this so? Please be truthful!
