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.

One should try to see life - as a divine gift-OSHO VISION

One should try to see life - as a divine gift. It is of tremendous value. Just to be is such a benediction, but because of our complaining mind and our grumbling mind, we never see the beauty that has already happened. We never see the treasure that has already been handed over to us.

     For small things we go on being negative and the great blessing of life simply passes by us. So try to see it. There are troubles, but they are nothing compared to the beauty that life makes available. There are anxieties . . .I am not saying it is all a bed of roses; there are thorns - but negligible. And in fact they make roses more beautiful. They help,  they enhance life by contrast.

     There is hatred and there is anger and there is jealousy, but they all function as a contrast to love. Without them, love will not be possible. There is death, there is misery, there is illness, there is disease, but they all make life possible. So always look to the positive -- that is the meaning of the name.

     If you start looking towards the positive, the negative loses meaning, because whatsoever we look at, we pour energy into. Then it surrounds us more and more. If you pay attention to the wrong, you are feeding the wrong. Attention is food -- very subtle food, very vital food.

     So just don't pay attention to the wrong. Don't pay attention to the black side of things. It is there -- accept it. Nobody is denying it, but what is the point of paying too much attention to it? That is a little pathological. It is a perversion, but everybody is doing that. That's how we go on missing god.

     God is possible only when your eyes are absolutely positive, when your eyes have no flaw of negativity in them. Suddenly you see that god has always been there. He is your surround. He is within and without. This is what I call preparation -- to make eyes absolutely flawless . . .and negativity is the flaw.

     So whatsoever happens, take it rightly. Even if it gives pain, remember that it must be there, because without it pleasure is not possible. Accept it. That is the meaning of prasadam. It is one of the most beautiful words. When you go to a saint in India, he gives you something as prasad . . .  maybe a little sweet or a fruit.

     I don t give you any sweet, any fruit. I give you to yourself - that's my prasad.

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.
