Mind Training: The 72 Exhortations (31-33)

Great beings who are free of desire

Have no need for a karmamudra.

When the mind is mixed with desire,

The mudra will lead you to lower realms.

Don’t look at inferiors’ bad examples,

The causes of nondharmic behavior.

Instead, see them as deserving compassion,

And follow the mahasiddhas’ footsteps.

Skillfully give up negative friends.

Follow exalted spiritual friends

With learning and venerable qualities

Who have given up the world. [...]

“The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.”

Maha Kalika Devi 

The goddess is stated to destroy evil in order to defend the innocent.

OSHO

Loneliness is a misunderstood aloneness. Once you misunderstand your aloneness as loneliness, the whole context changes. Aloneness has a beauty and grandeur, a positivity; loneliness is poor, negative, dark, dismal. Loneliness is a gap. Something is missing, something is needed to fill it, and nothing can ever fill it because it is a misunderstanding in the first place. As you grow older, the gap also grows bigger. 

People are so afraid to be by themselves that they do any kind of stupid thing. I have seen people playing cards alone; the other party is not there. They have invented games in which the same person plays cards from both sides. Those who have known aloneness say something absolutely different. They say there is nothing more beautiful, more peaceful, more joyful than being alone.

Love, Freedom, Aloneness THE KOAN OF RELATIONSHIPS Osho St. Martin’s Griffin New York

OSHO

If you want to be an authentic individual, use sadness; don’t escape from it. It is a great blessing. Sit silently with it, rejoice in it. There is nothing wrong in being sad. And the more you become acquainted with it and its subtle nuances, you will be surprised—it is a great relaxation, a great rest, and you come out of it rejuvenated, refreshed, younger, livelier. And once you have tasted it, you will seek those beautiful moments of sadness again and again. You will wait for them, you will welcome them, and they will open new doors of your aloneness . . . 

Alone you are born, alone you will die. Between these two alonenesses you can deceive yourself that you are not alone, that you have a wife, a husband, children, money, power. But between these two alonenesses you are alone. Everything is just to keep yourself engaged in something or other, so that you don’t become aware of it.

If you come to doubt, I'll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, I'll give you every reason to be suspicious. But if you come seeking Love, I'll show you more love than you've ever known

Love. 

Buddha says: If the mind does not arise all things are blameless. 

What more is there to be said: And even this much is enough to blame everything!

Once you are in tune with me, you cannot lose me. You can again and again fall in line with me wherever you are, because it is something of the inner. It has nothing to do with the physical presence. Any moment, anywhere, you can close your eyes and remember me, and you will find me just close by.

Love. 

Meditate, pray and wait. 

Do not will anything, for in you there is strength greater than any strength of your own. 

But it works only when your will is at rest.

Love. 

Silence is benediction but not the silence you can create, because you are the noise so you cannot create silence: but you can create the illusion of it, and this illusion is created by all sorts of autohypnotic techniques. 

So never use autosuggestions to be silent; rather, be aware of the constantly chattering mind, and be aware, not to make it still, but to understand it, and this very understanding flowers into a silence which is not just absence of noise but a positive bliss.

 Love.

 The divine is that from which one cannot depart, and that from which one can depart is not the divine. 

So find that from which you have never departed and cannot ever depart from – and then laugh at the absurdity of the human mind and its efforts! 

Buddha is still laughing because of that Listen!

 Love. 

Freedom from becoming means freedom for being. 

Becoming is desiring, being is that which is. 

Becoming is longing for the future, being is to be in the present.

 Becoming is mental, being is existential.

That is why becoming must cease for the being to reveal itself. 

Becoming is just like the smoke around the flame, or just like the outer covering around the seed, so please let the smoke go for the flame to explode in its complete glory and splendour, and let the seed die to its outer shell so that it may be what it is in its innermost depth.

 Love. 

If one is aware of the present moment then one also becomes aware of the fact that there is no ME inside. 

The me is my past, the me is the dead past.

 The me is not my life because it is not living.

 The ego can exist only in the past or in the future – which is nothing but a projection of the past; that is why awareness, moment to moment awareness, leads to egolessness:

 because the ego cannot exist in the present and because awareness cannot exist except in the present. 

So they both cannot exist simultaneously. Ego is unawareness and awareness is egolessness.
