#Osho #Avidya #DeHypnotization Avidya is what Gurdjieff used to call “spiritual sleep.” Man moves, lives, dies, not knowing why he is alive – not knowing from where he is coming from, not knowing where he is going, for what. Gurdjieff calls it sleep, Patanjali calls it avidya; they mean the same thing. You don’t know why you are, you don’t know the purpose of your being here in this world, in this body, in these experiences. You do many things without knowing why you are doing them, without knowing you are doing them, without knowing you are the doer. Everything moves as if in a deep sleep. Avidya, if I am to translate it for you, will mean hypnosis. Man lives in a deep hypnosis. I have been working with hypnosis because the only way to bring man out of hypnosis is to understand it. All awakening is a sort of de-hypnotization, so the process of hypnosis has to be understood very, very clearly. Only then can you move out of it. A disease has to be understood, diagnosed; only then can it be treated. Hypnosis is the disease of man, and de-hypnosis is the way to cure it… Your body comes from nature; you come from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is God. You are a meeting point of consciousness and the unconsciousness of the body. But the body is very, very powerful, and unless you do something, you will remain under its power, possessed. Yoga is the way to overcome. Yoga is the way not to be possessed by the body and to become the master again. Otherwise, you will remain a slave. Avidya is slavery, the slavery of the hypnosis nature has brought on you. Yoga is transcending this slavery and becoming a master… You are not alert enough because you cannot see enough. You don’t have eyes enough because you cannot penetrate enough. Once you have eyes – the vision, the perception, the clarity and the penetrating force of it – you will immediately see change is there, but that is not all. In fact, it is just the periphery that changes, that moves. Deep down in the foundation is the eternal. Have you seen the eternal? If you have not seen, this is avidya: you are hypnotized by the periphery. The changing scenes have hypnotized you. You have become too involved in them. You need a little detachment, you need a little distance, you need a little more observation. Taking the transient for the eternal is avidya; taking the impure for the pure is avidya.
