OSHO

If you are in a hurry, then nothing eternal can happen to you because the eternal needs eternal waiting. If you are asking for eternity to happen to you, you have to be ready for it. Hurry won't help.

There is a Zen saying: If you are in a hurry, you will never reach. You can even reach just by sitting, but in a hurry you can never reach. The very impatience is a barrier.

If you are in a hurry then Patanjali is the antidote. If you are not in any hurry then Zen is also possible. This statement will look contradictory, but this is so. This is how reality is, contradictory. If you are in a hurry, then you will have to wait for many lives before the enlightenment happens to you. If you are not in a hurry, then right now it can happen.

#OSHO

If you have loved me, I will live with you forever.

 In your love, I will live.

 If you have loved me, my body will disappear

 but I cannot die for you... 

Even if I am gone I know you will search for me.

 Yes, I can trust you will hunt for me in every stone and flower, in every eye and star... 

And I can promise you one thing: 

if you hunt for me, you will find me - 

in every star and every eye -

 because if you have really loved a Master, 

you have moved into eternity with him. 

The relationship is not of time; it is timeless.

 There is going to be no death.

 My body will disappear, your body will disappear -

 that will not make any change.

 If the disappearance of the body makes any change,

 it simply shows that love had not happened. 

Love is something beyond the body.

 Bodies come and go, love remains.

 Love has eternity in it - timelessness, deathlessness."

Ten percent of children are born lefthanded; out of ten, one person is lefthanded. You may not be able to find so many lefthanded people, because from the very beginning we start forcing them to write with the right hand, to do things with the right hand. 

The society forces him to move to the right hand. The right hand is his weak hand. He will live a very weak life, unfertile, uncreative. He may have become a great seer; now he will live just as a third-rate mathematician. The person may have been a first-rate poet, or a musician, or a painter; now he will be just a third-rate clerk in some office, or a station-master, or a deputy collector, or a politician - something third-rate. You have been very very violent with him.

Philosophia Perennis Vol 1

OSHO

Intelligence always creates that which is needed. That is the meaning of being intelligent! If you are created for no reason, for no purpose, for no necessity that you are going to fulfill, then God cannot be intelligent. He is utterly intelligent "God is intelligent" is not right to say: it will be better to say "God is intelligence." This whole existence is full of intelligence.

FLIGHT FROM SHADOW

THERE WAS A MAN WHO WAS SO DISTURBED BY THE SIGHT OF HIS OWN SHADOW AND SO DISPLEASED WITH HIS OWN FOOTSTEPS, THAT HE DETERMINED TO GET RID OF BOTH. THE METHOD HE HIT UPON WAS TO RUN AWAY FROM THEM. SO HE GOT UP AND RAN. BUT EVERY TIME HE PUT HIS FOOT DOWN THERE WAS ANOTHER STEP, WHILE HIS SHADOW KEPT UP WITH HIM WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST DIFFICULTY. HE ATTRIBUTED HIS FAILURE TO...

... THE FACT THAT HE WAS NOT RUNNING FAST ENOUGH. SO HE RAN FASTER AND FASTER, WITHOUT STOPPING, UNTIL HE FINALLY DROPPED DEAD. HE FAILED TO REALISE THAT IF HE MERELY STEPPED INTO THE SHADE, HIS SHADOW WOULD VANISH, AND IF HE SAT DOWN AND STAYED STILL, THERE WOULD BE NO MORE FOOTSTEPS....

That shade is called silence, that shade is called inner peace. Don't listen to the mind, just step into the shade, into the inner silence where no rays of the sun enter. You remain on the periphery, that is the problem. There you are in the light...

OSHO

Right now, every one of you is running away from himself. Even if you come to me, you come to me as part of your escape from yourself. That is why you cannot reach me; that is the gap. If you have come to me as an escape from yourself you cannot come to me, because my whole effort is to help you not to escape from yourself. Don’t try to escape from yourself. You cannot be anybody else; you have a definite destiny and individuality.

And that is the essence of wisdom—to be in harmony with nature, with the natural rhythm of the universe. And whenever you are in harmony with the natural rhythm of the universe, you are a poet, you are a painter, you are a musician, you are a dancer.

JANUARY 5th

Love.

It is through God's grace

that you are working towards the discovery

of the inner light. That light is definitely there and once it is met all darkness in life disappears.

Each step taken within peels away the darkness layer by layer, unfolding a world of light in which everything is new. This experience cuts away all bondage - and then comes the realization that it was never there! Liberation happens to that which is eternally free!

I am pleased with your progress

Your letter was received long back but as 

I was busy there was delay in replying, but my memory of you is always there, along with all those eager for the light. My good wishes flow for ever towards them.

We have to keep going.

Many times one becomes disheartened on the path but ultimately the thirsty pilgrim reaches the spring.

In fact the water is there before the thirst.

My kind regards to all.

OSHO.

A CUP OF TEA.

LETTER - 5.

OSHO

FIRST THINGS FIRST: HAVE A CUP OF TEA!

A Zen Story:

Joshu, the Zen master, asked a new monk in the monastery, 'Have I seen you before?'

The new monk replied, 'No sir.'

Joshu said, 'Then have a cup of tea.'

Joshu then turned to another monk, 'Have I seen you here before?

The second monk said, 'Yes sir, of course you have.'

Joshu said, 'Then have a cup of tea.'

Later the managing monk of the monastery asked Joshu, 'How is it you make the same offer of tea to any reply?'

At this Joshu shouted, 'Manager, are you still here?'

The manager replied, 'Of course, Master.'

Joshu said, 'Then have a cup of tea.'

The story is simple, but difficult to understand. It is always so. The more simple a thing the more difficult it is to understand. To understand, something complex is needed; to understand, you have to divide and analyze. A simple thing cannot be divided and analyzed-there is nothing to divide and analyze; the thing is so simple. The simplest always escapes understanding; that is why god cannot be understood. God is the simplest thing, absolutely the simplest thing possible. The world can be understood; it is very complex. The more complex a thing is, the more the mind can work on it. When it is simple there is nothing to grind against, the mind cannot work.

Zen is magic. It gives you the key to open the miraculous. And the miraculous is in you and the key is also in you.

There is no other space, no other time. This moment is all. In this moment the whole existence converges, in this moment all is available...
