God-Realization ~OSHO VISION

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.

Live life as celebration-OSHO VISION

 

Image by Maryam Morrison

A sannyasin has to be a song, not a monk, not a renunciate, but a song: joyful, alive, vital . . .  not an escapist, but merging, melting, diving deep into life. Living life in its totality, unconditionally, because this is an opportunity given by God. To escape from it is to escape from God himself. By escaping the world you will never find God; it is by going deeper and deeper into his world that one day you will arrive at him, because he is hidden in his creation. God is not a person, but creativity – you  can find him only through searching deep into his existence.

     The old idea of sannyas, of monkhood, was escapist. My idea of sannyas is just the opposite. It is of love, tremendous love, for life. The old sannyas was sad because it was serious. The new sannyas has a laugh in its very heart, because life is not to be taken seriously but as fun, as a beautiful sport, a play, an acting, a drama.

     And one has to live it with such intensity and passion, with such fire, that the torch of life burns at both ends simultaneously, only then can one know what bliss is.

     Bliss is whenever you are totally involved in the moment and there is no past and no future, when just the moment exists and you disappear into the moment holding nothing back, that let-go is bliss. And out of that let-go, a thousand and one songs arise. Life becomes a celebration.

     Live life as celebration. Then you need not seek and search for God, he will seek and search for you. Whenever a person is ready, God comes. One need not go to God.

Each being is a house of God ~ Osho Vision

OSHO VISION

 

     Each being is a house of God, each being is a temple of the divine. If we are not aware of it we go on living a very miserable life; if we become aware of it, life becomes sheer ecstasy. 

The only difference between a Jesus and you, between a Buddha and you, is that of awareness. They have awakened and you are fast asleep, otherwise there is no difference at all: the same God who resides in them resides in you. But in you something is asleep; in them something has become awakened. 

The word "buddha" means the awakened one, whose sleep is gone.

     We are in a metaphysical sleep. It is just as in the night when you fall asleep you start dreaming and the dreams appear real, absolutely real; you trust them, you believe in them. In the morning when you wake up it looks so ridiculous – how  could you have believed in them? But when they were there and you were asleep, you believed them.

 The same is the situation on a higher plane: when one becomes metaphysically awake one cannot understand how one could have believed in money so much, in power politics so much, in name and fame so much. How could one have believed in the body so much knowing that death is happening every day, all around? How one went on living as if one was not going to die at all!

     But right now when you are metaphysically asleep all these things seem to be very real. Somebody insults you and it looks so real, somebody praises you and it looks so real, but when you become metaphysically awake, meditatively alert, all these things start fading into dreams. Then it doesn't matter whether you are insulted or praised. Nothing that matters right now matters at all.

     Your name will remind you continuously that a god is hidden inside you. You have to search for him, and the only way to search for him is by becoming more aware, more alert, more mindful. All the methods of meditation are nothing but techniques, devices, to bring awareness to you, to shake you up, to wake you up.

Meditation~Osho Vision

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.

Η Αγάπη είναι το ξεκίνημα μιάς φωτεινής μέρας-Το Όραμα του Όσσο ( OSHO VISION )

Η Αγάπη είναι το ξεκίνημα μιάς φωτεινής ημέρας, η αγάπη είναι η αυγή.

Χωρίς την αγάπη ο άνθρωπος δεν είναι τίποτα, παρά μια σκοτεινή νύχτα, μια σκοτεινή νύχτα χωρίς αστέρια, μια σκοτεινή νύχτα χωρίς φεγγάρι, μια σκοτεινή νύχτα χωρίς ακόμη και ένα κερί.

Ένας άνθρωπος χωρίς αγάπη ζει στην κόλαση.

Είναι η αγάπη που σε βοηθάει να βγείς εξω απο το σκοτάδι.

Είναι η αγάπη που φέρνει την ποίηση στην ύπαρξη σου.

Σε ξυπνάει μέσα στην επίγνωση σου.

Είναι το ξεκίνημα της ημέρας.

Η ημέρα εκπροσωπεί την αφύπνιση, συνείδηση, η νύχτα εκπροσωπεί το ασυνείδητο .

Και χωρίς αγάπη δεν υπάρχει πιθανότητα της αυγής.

Μεμιάς γνωρίζοντας την αγάπη, η νύχτα είναι τόσο φωτεινή όπως η ημέρα.

Μετά είναι γεμάτη απο αστέρια και φεγγάρι, μετά έχει την δική της λάμψη.

Η Νταιάνα έχει επίσης το δικό της νόημα: είναι το όνομα της Θεάς του Φεγγαριού.

Ξανά, είναι φυτεμένο στην ιδέα του φωτός.Εάν το φεγγάρι είναι εκεί,εάν η πανσέληνος είναι εκεί, ακόμη και η νύχτα δεν είναι πλέον νύχτα.

Εαν είσαι αφυπνισμένος, συνειδητός, τότε ακόμη και στην κόλαση θα δημιουργήσεις τον δικό σου παράδεισο.

Bliss-Osho Vision

Image by Maryam Morrison

Bliss is unborn, hence it cannot die. That which is born is bound to die: birth brings death in. Birth is the beginning of death, so whatsoever is born is going to die. Whatsoever has a beginning is going to have an end. Bliss has no beginning and it has no end; it is eternal, it is timeless, deathless. We are made of it. In fact the whole existence is made of it; but we are not aware, we have not looked into our own being to see what we are made of.

     A great digging is needed inside, and when we reach to the very core of our being a great surprise is waiting there. We are gods, goddesses, eternal entities, immortal beings, inexhaustible bliss.

     This is the search of a sannyasin.

Love is the greatest dance-OSHO VISION

Image Source by Pebbles58

OSHO VISION

     Love is the greatest dance there is – invisible, intangible, inexpressible, but the ultimate in celebration. It is a dance of energy; it is not material.

 It can happen when you are alone, a partner is not a must, one can simply be loving. It need not always be a relationship, one can sit alone and be in tremendous love.

     Relationship is only one of the expressions of it, relationship is only one of the materializations of the immaterial; hence relationship is a little gross.

 That's why nobody is ever satisfied by a relationship: the reason is one knows deep down the heights of love, but when you bring it to a relationship those heights start disappearing, it becomes something ordinary, it loses its sacredness, it becomes mundane. 

And when relationship becomes marriage, it becomes almost a commodity in the marketplace. It loses even that quality which existed before the marriage.

     All the heights are gone, now you are on the plain ground. It can be comfortable at the most, but comfort is not the goal; convenient, safe, but just to live conveniently and safely is not to live at all. Life becomes sharp as you move towards the heights, as you go beyond the material.

     Marriage is the lowest form of love. Relationship without any marriage is a little better because the law has not entered yet: the magistrate and the policeman are still out of it. Marriage means love is no more just love, it is law too. Now it is not only a private phenomenon, it is public. You are sanctified by the society, you are sealed by the government; now it is not your freedom to love or not to love, it is duty. When love becomes duty it is the ugliest; deformed it is, crippled, paralyzed, and one wants to wriggle out of it, but it becomes very difficult because it gives many comforts and many securities and many safeties. And the mind clings to those comforts and safeties, and the mind says it is dangerous to go out of it.

     Relationship is a little better because it is still private, intimate, a sharing of two individuals. It is not yet a social thing. It still has some poetry in it, some dance in it still.

     But the highest phenomenon is when love is a state and not a relationship. Not that you are in love, but that you are love. Then love reaches to the highest peak possible, and at that peak it becomes prayer, at that peak it is meditation, at that peak it touches the feet of God. It becomes a dialogue with the whole of existence. Then you are in dance, and the whole of existence is the partner – the trees and the stars and the mountains.

     Millions of people have decided to live at the lowest, that is marriage. A few try to get a little higher, that is pure relationship without any possessiveness. Only a few try it, and only a very few of those few succeed in it. It is a very rare individual who tries to live as love. That is the goal of sannyas: to live as love.
