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.

Silence and Inner Talk-OSHO VISION

Image by Maryam Morrison-Maryam Morrison Arts

Silence is going to help you tremendously, so drop as much inner talk as possible. Start renouncing thoughts, don’t get identified with them. Start creating a distance between you and the constantly moving traffic of thought. Neglect, ignore, be indifferent to them. Let them be there as uninvited guests if they want. And find out ways and means so that you can listen to the silence of existence.    Deep in the night when all is quiet, just sit silently; listen to the silence of the night. And all meditations are useful for you only if you keep this goal in the mind. All other steps of meditations are just steps towards this goal, that silence has to arise. In silence you will know what bliss is.

    Whenever you feel like being alone, be alone, sit alone. For a few days it will be very good to keep yourself to yourself. Talk less; unless it is absolutely essential, avoid talking.

Είμαστε εδώ μόνο για να διασκεδάσουμε-To Όραμα του Όσσο (OSHO VISION)

Μην θεωρείς τον Θεό σαν Αλήθεια, περισσότερο να Τον θεωρήσετε σαν ομορφιά.

Η θρησκεία θα ήταν εντελώς διαφορετική, εάν θεωρούσαμε τον Θεό σαν ομορφιά περισσότερο από ότι είναι αλήθεια.

Δεν εννοώ ότι ο Θεός δεν είναι αλήθεια, είναι... αλλά κάνει διαφορά για τους ανθρώπους, όπως Τον συλλαμβάνουν (σαν έννοια).

Γιατί ο Θεός έχει συλληφθεί σαν Αλήθεια, και οι άνθρωποι σκέφτονται λογικά για Εκείνον.

Η αλήθεια δημιουργεί λογική στην συνείδηση, κατευθύνει την λογική.

Η αλήθεια φαίνεται σαν το συμπέρασμα ενός συλλογισμού.

Οι άνθρωποι άρχισαν να διαφωνούν για τον Θεό. 
Άρχισαν να υποδεικνύουν και να απορρίπτουν.

Γιατί ο Θεός συλλήφθηκε σαν αλήθεια, και η θρησκεία αυτόματα μειώθηκε στην Θεολογία.

Αντί να γίνει ποίηση έγινε θεολογία.

Αντί να γίνει μια αισθητική εμπειρία, έγινε λογοκρισία.

Αντί να εμπλουτίσει την γη, για να την κάνει πιο όμορφη, πήγε ενάντια στην ζωή.

Η λογική είναι πάντα ενάντια στην ζωή.

Είναι δολοφονική, γιατί βασίζεται στην ανάλυση. 
Η ανάλυση σκοτώνει.

Γιατί ο Θεός εκλήφθη ως αλήθεια, και οι θρησκευόμενοι έγιναν σκεπτικιστές, όχι δημιουργικοί καλλιτέχνες.

Αυτό το απλό φαινόμενο κυριάρχησε σε όλο το παρελθόν για 10 χιλιάδες χρόνια.

ΟΙ Σούφι λένε ότι ο Θεός είναι όμορφος, jamil.

Σκεφτείτε Τον σαν ομορφιά, που καθοδηγεί την Δημιουργικότητα σε εσένα.

Γιατί η ομορφιά πρέπει να δημιουργείται - στην ποίηση, στην γλυπτική, στην ζωγραφική.

Πρέπει κάποιος να το γεννήσει.

Εάν σκέπτεσαι τον Θεό σαν ομορφιά, τότε μπορείς να κάνεις κάτι γι αυτό.

Εάν ο Θεός είναι αλήθεια, τότε δεν μπορείς να κάνεις οτιδήποτε γι αυτό, πρέπει να την ανακαλύψεις.

Η αλήθεια είναι εκεί, πρέπει να τη ξεσκεπάσεις.

Αλλά αν ο Θεός είναι ομορφιά, τότε δεν πρέπει μόνο να το ανακαλύψεις, πρέπει να το δημιουργήσεις.

Τότε όλη η προοπτική αλλάζει και η θρησκεία γίνεται αυτό-δηλωτική.

Τότε το ενισχύει και το δηλώνει. 
Δεν είναι αρνητικό στην ζωή, δεν είναι στην υπηρεσία του θανάτου.

Τότε η θρησκεία δεν είναι ενάντια στην αγάπη, γιατί πως  μπορεί η ομορφιά να είναι ενάντια στην αγάπη;

Τότε η θρησκεία δεν είναι ενάντια στον χορό, δεν είναι ενάντια στην γιορτή.

Πως μπορεί η ομορφιά να είναι ενάντια στην γιορτή;

Τότε η γη δεν είναι μια τιμωρία, αλλά κατάλυμα διακοπών.

Είμαστε εδώ μόνο για να διασκεδάσουμε- είναι ένα δώρο.

We are just here to enjoy-Osho Vision

 Image by Maryam Morrison

    Don’t think of God as truth, rather, think of God as beauty. Religion would have been totally different if God were thought of as beauty rather than as truth. I am not saying that He is not true – He  is, but it makes a lot of difference for people in how they conceive of Him.

    Because God has been conceived of as truth, people started thinking logically about Him. Truth creates logic in consciousness, it stirs logic. Truth seems like the conclusion of a syllogism. People started arguing about God, started proving, disproving. Because God was conceived of as truth, religion automatically became reduced to theology. Rather than becoming poetry, it became theology. Rather than becoming an aesthetic experience, it became logic-chopping. Rather than enhancing the earth, making it more beautiful, it went against life. Logic is always against life; it is murderous because it depends on analysis; analysis kills. Because God was thought of as truth, religious people became thinkers, not creative artists. Just that simple phenomenon dominated the whole past of ten thousand years.

    Sufis say that God is beautiful, ‘jamil.’ Think of Him as beauty, then it stirs creativity in you. Because beauty has to be created – in poetry, in sculpture, in painting; one has to give birth to it. If you think of God as beauty then you can do something about it. If God is truth then you can’t do anything about it, you have to discover it. Truth is there – you have just to uncover it.

    But if God is beauty then you are not only to discover it, you have to create. Then the whole perspective changes and religion becomes life-affirmative. Then it enhances and affirms. It is not life-negative, it is not in the service of death. Then religion is not against love, because how can beauty be against love? Then religion is not against dance, it is not against celebration. How can beauty be against celebration? Then the earth is not a punishment but a holiday resort. We are here just to enjoy – it is a gift.

Each being is a house of God ~ Osho Vision

 Image by Maryam Morrison

Maryam Morrison Arts on Facebook

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

 

Image by Maryam Morrison 

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

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.

Love is the beginning of a bright day-OSHO VISION

 ARTWORK BY MARYAM MORRISON

 Love is the beginning of a bright day, love is the dawn. 

Without love a man is nothing, but a dark night, a dark night without stars, without the moon, a dark night without even a candle.

 

     A man without love lives in hell. It is love that helps you to come out of the darkness.

 It is love that brings poetry to your being.

 It wakes you up into awareness.

 It is the beginning of the day.

 The day represents awareness, consciousness; the night represents unconsciousness. 

And without love there is no possibility of the dawn.

 Once you have known love, even the night is as bright as the day.

 Then it is full of stars and moon, then it has its own luminousness.

     Diana has another meaning also: it is the name of the goddess of the moon. 

Again, it is rooted in the idea of light. If the moon is there, if the full moon is there, even the night is no longer night.

 If you are awake, alert, conscious, then even in hell you will create your own heaven.

We are made of the stuff called Bliss-Osho Vision

 Image by Maryam Morrison

Maryam Morrison ARTS

OSHO VISION

     Bliss is possible only when we are surrendered to existence. It is not possible with an ego; the ego is the root cause of misery. If one wants to be blissful one has to sacrifice the ego. That is the meaning of sharno: surrendering the ego.

     The ego is a false entity; you are not really losing anything by surrendering it. It is a disease. By surrendering it you are becoming whole, wholesome. By surrendering it, you are coming to be your true self. The ego is a false self, it is a pretender, but we have become attached to it too much. Our society teaches us to be egoistic. Even modern psychology goes on perpetuating the old nonsense that the ego has to be strengthened. They think by strengthening the ego, they are helping the individual. They are destroying, not helping him. The ego is the death of the real self. The death of the ego allows the real self to express itself.

     Surrender the ego and bliss is yours. Just by removing the ego, the bliss starts flowing. It is our very nature. We are made of the stuff called bliss.
