OSHO VISION
You
have to become more and more alert in your life, you have to
de-automatize yourself. The way we are conditioned is such that we all
become machines: we go on doing things but with no awareness. We become
so efficient in doing things that awareness is not needed at all.
The
body itself starts doing things, it does not need our consciousness. It
is like driving a car: in the beginning you have to be very conscious,
alert; slowly slowly, as you learn you become less and less conscious.
When you have learned perfectly well how to drive then consciousness is
not needed at all. Then you can think a thousand and one thoughts; you
can dream, you can listen to the radio, watch tv, talk to a friend, sing
a song, and still go on driving. Now the body knows the whole trick,
you are not needed at all.
This
is how our whole life becomes almost an automation. This has to be
de-automatized. We have to start becoming alert about small things:
walking, eating, taking a bath, chewing food, smelling a flower,
touching a rock – just small things for which no awareness is needed at
all.
Make
it a point that whatsoever you are doing, remember to do it
consciously, as if it is a question of life and death. If you are
smelling a rose, smell it as if this is for the last time; tomorrow
you may not be here at all. It will bring intensity and awareness both
together. It will release great passion to live and great vigilance too.
And if one can become absolutely aware one has arrived. To be
absolutely aware of all one's acts, thoughts, feelings, is to attain to
god-realization.
