#Osho#Understanding
A disciple
is one
who is open
to learn.
A follower is closed. A follower thinks he has agreed; now there is nothing and no need to remain open – he can close, he can afford to close.
A disciple can never afford to close; there is so much to learn. How can you agree or disagree? And a disciple has no ego, so who will agree and who will not agree? A disciple is just an opening, there is nobody inside to agree or not agree. Your very agreement is creating the trouble.
Nobody is ever transformed through agreement. Agreement is very superficial, very intellectual.
To be transformed one needs understanding. It is always understanding that transforms, that mutates.
When you understand, you are not to do anything; the understanding will start doing things. It is not that first you understand then you practice, no. The very understanding, the very fact of understanding, goes deep into your heart, sinks, and there is transformation.
Transformation
is a consequence
of understanding…
Understanding
is something
bigger than the mind.
Understanding happens in your total being. It is as much in your head as in your toe. Understanding is something total. The mind is a very tiny part, but very dictatorial, and it goes on pretending that it is the whole…
Just being with me – that is satsang, that is contact high. Just being with me, in spite of you, a few rays will enter into your being and will start playing.
And then you will become aware that whatever life you have lived was not life at all, that you have been in an illusion, you have been dreaming.
Those few glimpses of reality will shatter your whole past, and then there is transformation. It comes naturally of its own accord; it follows understanding…

You imagine you will increase your value by acquisition. It is like gold imagining that an addition of copper will improve it. Elimination and purification, renunciation of all that is foreign to your nature is enough. All else is vanity.
To surrender to life is to break the heart open, not close it. It’s a fierce and tender intimacy with all that is—an unguarded embrace of suffering and love.
A Guru dispels the darkness in you. He burns from within. May you burn with this flame and go beyond all that holds you back. #GuruPurnima#SadhguruQuotes

Breath and consciousness should become one. The breath goes in – you go in. Only then will it be possible to get the point which is between two breaths. It will not be easy. Move in with the breath, then move out with the breath: in-out, in-out…
When you are moving with breath minutely, when there is no breath, how can you remain unaware? You will suddenly become aware that there is no breath, and the moment will come when you will feel that the breath is neither going out nor coming in. The breath has stopped completely. In that stopping, the beneficence.
This one technique is enough for millions. The whole of Asia tried and lived with this technique for centuries. Tibet, China, Japan, Burma, Thailand, Ceylon – the whole of Asia except India has tried this technique. Only one technique and thousands and thousands have attained enlightenment through it. And this is only the first technique.

The whole world is busy trying to be better than someone else. But if one experience the profoundness within, other people's opinions will make no difference.

Osho (to Burkhard): Prem means love; sudharma means the ultimate law.
Man can either live in conflict with existence, or in love. To live in conflict with existence is to live irreligiously. It is pushing the river, it is going against the current. And all struggle is egoistic, struggle as such is egoistic.
The moment you start flowing with the river, going with existence relaxedly, in tune with it, in accord with it, religion is born. Religion is not Christian, Hindu or Mohammedan: a religion is a way of life in accord with the ultimate law.
And love
is the
ultimate law.
Be in tune with love, never go against love. Let love be the criterion; judge everything on that criterion. If it goes against love, drop it, forget the whole idea. If it fulfills love, go into it; do it, and do it totally.
If you can remember love in your actions you will be moving in the right direction. You will find the temple of God, it is absolutely certain.
Those who
have loved
have never missed.

आदमी और जीवन को नष्ट करे,
अपने स्वाद के लिए!
जैसा जीवन तुम्हें प्यारा है, और पशुओं को भी प्यारा है। न तुम चाहोगे कि तुम्हारे ऊपर कोई भेड़िया हमला कर दे और खा जाए।
तो तुम भी थोड़ा जो अपने साथ नहीं चाहते हो कि हो, वह दूसरों के साथ भी न करो।
🌼सहज आसिकी नाहिं

कैसी-कैसी बातें तुमने मान रखी हैं!
उन पर प्रश्नचिह्न लगाओ।
इसके पहले कि मानो, जानो।
जानने से ज्ञान बनता है, मानने से नहीं।
विश्वास अंधापन है।
सभी विश्वास अंधे होते हैं।
अंधविश्वास कहने की जरूरत ही नहीं है;
विश्वास यानी अंधापन।
🌼सहज आसिकी नाहिं

There is a peace that does not feel special.
It may not come with bliss, radiance, fireworks, or a sense of attainment.
It may feel very ordinary, almost unnoticed, like sitting in a river where life continues to move but the body is no longer efforting against the current.
This peace is not manufactured.
It comes when allegiance shifts from the story of “me and my life” to the silence that holds everything.
A REAL FLOWER has to be momentary.
🍁 To BE REAL it has to be momentary;
only plastic things can be permanent.
If there is any PARADISE, it cannot be anything but PLASTIC, because plastic has the quality of not dying, it is DEATHLESS.
🌼 From Ignorance to Innocence

#Osho
Anything that becomes perfect stops living because then there is no purpose left. Life is in imperfection; life is in growing...
Hence I say that life always remains imperfect; it never comes to perfection because it never comes to death. There is no death at all, existence knows nothing of death...
Life is a continuum, it continues, on and on it goes. It is like the rolling waves of the ocean, on and on...There is no full stop in life.

Do understand that you are destined for enlightenment. Co-operate with your destiny, don’t go against it, don’t thwart it. Allow it to fulfil itself. All you have to do is to give atention to the obstacles created by the foolish mind.
#Osho#ConsciousParenting
If you are a parent, you will need enough courage not to interfere. Open doors of unknown directions to the child, so he can explore. He does not know what he has in him, nobody knows.
He has to grope in the dark. Don’t make him afraid of darkness, don’t make him afraid of failure, don’t make him afraid of the unknown. Give him support. When he is going on an unknown journey, send him on with all your support, with all your love, with all your blessings.
Don’t let him be affected by your fears. You may have fears, but keep them to yourself. Don’t unload those fears on the child because that will be interfering.”
