Meditation~ OSHO VISION

      It is only through meditation that one can become a help to others because meditation gives you centring, rootedness, individuality, authenticity. 

It gives you consciousness, love, compassion. 

These are all the flowers of meditation. 

You can give to others only that which you already have.

If you don't have love flowing within your being you cannot share it with others and if you are not full of light, if you yourself live in darkness, you can't help others.

 It will be like a blind man leading other blind people.

     Nanak says: In the world, the blind are leading other blind people and all are falling into wells! 

Mankind really needs help: it is always in a crisis.

And today the crisis has reached its peak, its climax; more will be unbearable.

 Humanity is on the verge of going insane or committing suicide.

 We are preparing for that: all the world governments are preparing to commit the third world war, and that will be the last war.

     We are heading towards that. Mankind has always needed help; today it needs it more that ever. 

But only those few people can be of help who enter deep into meditation, who become aware of themselves, who come to know who they are, and through it become aware of the presence of God. 

Then whatsoever they do is going to be a blessing to humanity.

     Otherwise whatsoever you do is going to be a curse.

You may intend to do it right but because you are not right your intentions are of no use.

 First you have to help yourself. 

First you have to wake up and then whatsoever you do – and  when I say whatsoever I mean whatsoever – that  will be a help, a blessing.

 Hence my insistence is not on making people public servants.

 I don't preach service to humanity because I know if you can meditate you are bound to become a helper.

 That is a natural consequence of meditation.

 Buddha says: Meditation naturally brings compassion; if it does not bring compassion then it is not meditation at all.
