Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Tomorrow is in the womb of today


Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

WILLIAM JAMES SAYS,
OOsho - From Death To Deathles
"THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS TO LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR
SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LIFE."

CAN YOU COMMENT?


What William James is saying has been said for thousands of years, by almost all the politicians, all the priests - and you can see the result of such a teaching.

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Science has to be religious

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

CAN SCIENCE ITSELF BE RELIGIOUS?


It has been one of the greatest misfortunes that science is not religious. It can be religious and it should be religious.

Science is only a method. It has no direction, no values; it is just a method. It can be used for destruction, it can be used for creativity, because in itself it is only a neutral methodology.

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

There is a bigger universe within you

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

THE SCIENTIFIC VISION OF OBJECTIVE REALITY AND THE SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF
EXISTENCE SEEM TO BE TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE AND UNBRIDGEABLE DIMENSIONS.

IS THIS BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THINGS, OR IS IT ONLY AN ILLUSION OF OUR MIND?

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Belief is a dirty word

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

WHAT EFFECT ON SCIENCE WOULD BE FELT IF PEOPLE STOPPED BELIEVING IN THE OLD
RELIGIONS?


The fact of believing is the greatest barrier in the progress of science. In three hundred years science has done much in spite of all the religions, their superstitions, their beliefs. In these three hundred years, there

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Man's monkey mind

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

WHY DON'T YOU ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?


There is a certain basic foundation for it: there is no audience to be addressed. As far as I am concerned, we are not separate. To you, I am separate from you; hence the question. But to me, you are just part of a vast continent of consciousness - in the same way that I am part of it. Who is going to address whom?

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Becoming is going away from being

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

WHEN I SEE YOU MY HEART EXPLODES, WHEN YOU DANCE I FEEL SO JOYOUS, WHEN
YOU SPEAK I ENJOY IT IMMENSELY. SO OFTEN THESE DAYS, WITH ALL THE BLESSINGS
YOU SHOWER UPON US, I FEEL SO OVERCOME. WHO NEEDS TO BE ENLIGHTENED,
WITH SUCH AN EXQUISITE,

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

This moment: The golden key

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA SAID IN A SPEECH RECENTLY, "THERE IS SO MUCH EVIL
AROUND HERE, AND RAJNEESH WENT TO AMERICA. WHY?" I FIND IT DISAPPOINTING
THAT THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA SHOULD MISS YOUR PRESENCE IN THAT COUNTRY NOW,
BUT WOULD NOT LISTEN TO YOUR ADVICE WHEN YOU WERE

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

We are the only alternative

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

DURING YOUR RECENT INTERVIEW WITH DER SPIEGEL, YOU MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT
HITLER, SAYING YOU LOVE THE MAN BECAUSE HE'S CRAZY, AND ALSO THAT HE LIVED A
LIFE OF A DISCIPLINE JUST AS A SAINT LIVES IN A MONASTERY. YOU ALSO COMPARED
HIM WITH MAHATMA GANDHI AND CALLED HIM AS MORAL AS MAHATMA GANDHI.

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Get out of this sheepskin

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

WHY ARE THERE SO FEW AMERICAN SANNYASINS? I RECALL YOU SAYING THAT AMERICA
WOULD BE A VERY SPIRITUAL COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY MASTERED
MATERIAL ABUNDANCE AND FOUND IT DID NOT SATISFY. WHY ARE THEY SO SLEEPY?

PLEASE COMMENT.

Put Mother Theresa in jail

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

BUDDHA'S RELIGION SPREAD ALL OVER ASIA EXCEPT INDIA, AND STILL BUDDHA'S WAY
OF LIFE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY INDIA - TO BECOME MORE AND MORE POOR. IS THERE
ANY WAY THAT INDIA CAN ACCEPT YOUR LIFE-AFFIRMATIVE ATTITUDE AND BECOME RICH,
EVEN WITHOUT ACCEPTING YOUR RELIGIOUSNESS WHICH IS SPREADING ALL OVER THE
WORLD?

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

The song of the tide

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

YOUR CONTRADICTIONS, YOUR LIES, AND YOUR INSISTENCE THAT WE ARE NOT TO
BELIEVE YOU, HAVE MADE MY MIND INOPERABLE. ALL IT CAN SAY WITH CERTAINTY IS,
"I DON'T KNOW." I USED TO BE QUITE PROUD OF MY MIND, BUT NOW IT SIMPLY FEELS
STUPID. SO FAR, IT'S NOT NO-MIND, BUT PERHAPS SOMEDAY SOON, ITS DYING GASP MAY

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

I am not your father

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

I'M A HYPOCRITE, AND A ROUGH MAN, AND I AM HAPPY TO HAVE A SOFT MASTER. IN
MY UNCONSCIOUS I HAVE REPLACED MY FATHER BY YOU, AND I HAVE REPLACED MY
FAMILY BY THE COMMUNE. I HAVE CREATED HATRED, RAGE, RESENTMENT TOWARDS YOU
AND THE COMMUNE. YET I AM ENJOYING YOUR DISCOURSES VERY MUCH. I AM DEEPLY

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Become more and more sensuous

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

WHEN I LOOK AROUND YOUR COMMUNE AND SEE PEOPLE HUGGING THE WAY THEY
DO, AND FEEL THE ENERGY I HAVE WHEN I HUG SOMEONE HERE, I WONDER WHY THIS
DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD. PLEASE COMMENT
.

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

My empire consists only of Emperors

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

I TRUST YOU UNCONDITIONALLY, AND NOW I'M NO LONGER A SANNYASIN SIMPLY TO
RID MYSELF OF MY FEARS. I AM NOW HERE WITHOUT ANY NEED, HOPE, DESIRE OR
EXPECTATION. I AM NO LONGER FEELING DEPENDENT ON YOU. I AM WITH YOU WITHOUT
ANY REASON, JUST FOR FUN, AND I TRUST YOU WITHOUT BELIEF. IS THIS THE STATE OF
BEING A TRUE DISCIPLE?

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

No society rewards lovers

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ONESELF WITHOUT FIRST LEARNING TO LOVE ONESELF?


It is absolutely impossible to be responsible for yourself unless you learn to love yourself. Every child is born with tremendous love for himself. It is the society that destroys that love, it is the religion that destroys that love - because if a child goes

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Doing is going to be your undoing

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

EVERY DAY YOU MAKE A STEP DESCENDING FROM THE PEDESTAL OF BEING A MASTER
TO BECOMING A FRIEND TO US, THE ULTIMATE FRIEND. AND YET MY REVERENCE FOR
YOU IS INCREASING EVERY DAY. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? PLEASE EXPLAIN.

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Wait and you shall find

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

FOR YEARS YOU HAVE TALKED TO US OF SIMPLICITY: SIMPLICITY IN LOVE, THE SIMPLICITY
OF ENLIGHTENMENT, AND NOW THE SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE POWER GAME BETWEEN
THE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA. WHY HAS MAN DEVELOPED SUCH COMPLEXITY, AND
WHY DOES HE SHOW SUCH MISTRUST AND DISBELIEF IN THE SIMPLE?

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

If you really love me, then wake up

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

SINCE YOU HAVE BECOME AVAILABLE TO US IN THIS EARTHLY, EVERYDAY WAY, I HAVE
BEEN AMAZED AT THE AMOUNT OF FEAR I FEEL WITH YOU SO CLOSE. IT MAKES ME WANT
TO HIDE FROM YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS FEAR. CAN
YOU EXPLAIN?

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

The taste of peace

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

I SEEM TO HAVE HEARD YOU SAY THAT PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO WAR BECAUSE IT
IS EXCITING, WHEREAS PEACE IS BORING. IN MY OWN EXPERIENCE I SEEM TO ENJOY
INDULGING MY PERSONAL DRAMAS AND TRAUMAS, AND WHEN I'M NOT INDULGING THEM
LIFE IS A BIT FLAT. IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE ATTRACTED TO PEACE? WILL THE NEW HUMANITY
FIND PEACE, RATHER THAN WAR, EXCITING?

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

Belief is a barrier, trust is a bridge

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

I TRUST YOU UNCONDITIONALLY. AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. CAN YOU
SPEAK ABOUT TRUST AND BELIEF?


Baby, that is really great! Just groovy. I don't believe in my own statements either! We are in perfect agreement. I trust myself, I trust you, because I trust love.

Osho - From Death To Deathlessness

The man of compassion has to lie

Question 1:

BELOVED OSHO,

YOU SAID THAT YOU LIE OUT OF COMPASSION, AND WE, YOUR SANNYASINS,
CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. BUT CAN THE OUTSIDE WORLD EVER
UNDERSTAND? WON'T IT CREATE MORE MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT YOU, ABOUT
RAJNEESHISM, ABOUT YOUR SANNYASINS? PLEASE COMMENT.

Question 1:

I MYSELF AM A QUESTION. I KNOW NOT WHO I AM. WHAT TO DO?

WHERE TO GO?

REMAIN WITH THE QUESTION.
Don t do anything, and don t go anywhere; and don't start believing in any answer. Remain with the question. That is one of the most difficult things to do - to remain with a question, and not to seek the answer; because the mind is very cunning, it can supply a false answer. It can console you; it can give you something to cling to;

Question 1:

MANY TIMES I FEEL GUILTY BECAUSE I CANNOT RECEIVE YOU.

The word "GUILT" should never be used. The very word has wrong associations; and once you use it you are caught in it. Guilt is not a natural phenomenon: it is created by the priests. Through guilt they have exploited humanity. The whole history of pseudo-religion is contained in the word guilt: it is the most poisoned word. Beware of it;

Osho The Hidden Splendor


You are the one who is witnessing it. It may be nothingness, it may be blissfulness, it may be silence, but one thing has to be remembered: however beautiful and however enchanting an experience you come across, you are not it. You are the one who is experiencing it. And if you go on and on and on, the ultimate in the journey is the point when there is no experience left -- neither silence, nor blissfulness, nor nothingness. There is nothing as an object for you, but only your subjectivity.

IT IS NOT ABOUT HUMPTY DUMPTY, It is about you. It is about humanity, the human mind: the fragmented human mind which is not a unity but has become a crowd - a crowd fighting amongst itself, a crowd continuously in war. Look at your own mind and you will find the Humpty Dumpty there. There is no center in your mind. No master exists there, only servants. And each servant has the false idea that he is the master. Each servant has few

Knowledge is a shadow: it follows. Once you start thinking that knowledge precedes, you are in a mess. I will tell you one story:

To be Jewish means not to be poetic, but to be arithmetical. To be Jewish means not to be in awe of the wonder that surrounds you.

Osho Come Follow To You Vol 2

When religion is old, dying, or already dead - just a stinking corpse - then it is renunciation; then it is not celebration. Then it is anti-life, then it is life-negating.

Then it leaves the world, it leaves all that is alive. It starts being suicidal - it shrinks.

Life expands, death is a shrinkage. When you are young, you are flowing in all directions. When you are old, you are frozen. You no longer flow. You only grumble: you become hard, the flexibility is lost.
