#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 тАУ 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 understandingтАж
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 wholeтАж
Just being with me тАУ 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 understandingтАж

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. ItтАЩs a fierce and tender intimacy with all that isтАФan 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 тАУ 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-outтАж
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 тАУ 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.

DonтАЩt Let Yourself Be Upset By The Sutra, Rather Upset The Sutra Yourself, Initiation Talks, Thursday August 30, 1979 https://t.co/YW98Rqj9uR
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 тАЬme and my lifeтАЭ to the silence that holds everything.
A REAL FLOWER has to be momentary.
ЁЯНБ 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.
