#ConsciousAlertness

Be more alert, aware, but don’t cling to it. Clinging will destroy the whole beauty of it. Why cling? What is the fear? We cling only out of fear. You are awareness, you cannot lose it. Even now, when you are unaware of the fact that you are awareness, you have not lost it.

Truth cannot be lost. Whether you know it or you know not, it makes no difference. The truth remains the truth, known or unknown. Your innermost being is still pure awareness. You live on the circumference, hence you are not able to see your own center.

A bird comes and sits
at your door
and sings a song,
and he will not ask you
to give a certificate or something.
He has sung the song
and then happily he flies away,
leaves no traces behind.
That's how love grows.
Give, and don't wait to see
how much you can grab.

दरिया कहते हैं—
तज बिकार आकार तज, निराकार को ध्यान।
निराकार में पैठकर, निराधार लौ लाय।।

🍁 कहते हैं: एक ही काम तुम कर लो तो सब हो जाए।
व्यर्थ के विकारों में मत उलझे रहो।
शहद की बूंदों में मत उलझे रहो—धोखा है। व्यर्थ के आकारों, आकृतियों में मत उलझे रहो—भ्रांतियां हैं, मृगमरीचिकाएं हैं।
एक निराकार का ध्यान करो।

🍁 निराकार का ध्यान कैसे हो?

मुझ से आकर लोग पूछते हैं: आकार का तो ध्यान हो सकता है, निराकार का ध्यान कैसे हो?

ठीक है उनका प्रश्न, सम्यक है। राम का ध्यान कर सकते हो—धनुर्धारी राम! कृष्ण का ध्यान कर सकते हो—बांसुरी वाले कृष्ण। कि क्राइस्ट का ध्यान कर सकते हो—सूली पर चढ़े। कि बुद्ध का कि महावीर का।
लेकिन निराकार का ध्यान!

तुम्हें थोड़ी ध्यान की प्रक्रिया समझनी होगी।

🍁 जिसका तुम ध्यान कहते हो, वह ध्यान नहीं है, एकाग्रता है।
एकाग्रता के लिए आकार जरूरी होता है। क्योंकि किसी पर एकाग्र होना होगा।
कोई एक बिंदु चाहिए—राम, कृष्ण, बुद्ध, महावीर...। कोई प्रतिमा, कोई रूप, कोई आकार, कोई मंत्र, कोई शब्द, आधार, कोई आलंबन चाहिए—तो तुम एकाग्र हो सकते हो।

🍁 एकाग्रता ध्यान नहीं है।
ध्यान तो एकाग्रता से बड़ी उल्टी बात है। हालांकि तुम्हारे ध्यान के संबंध में जो किताबें प्रचलित हैं, उन सब में यही कहा गया है कि ध्यान एकाग्रता का नाम है। गलत है वह बात। गैर—अनुभवियों ने लिखी होगी।
एकाग्रता तो चित्त की संकीर्ण करती है। एकाग्रता तो एक बिंदु पर अपने को ठहराने का प्रयास है।

एकाग्रता विज्ञान में उपयोगी है।
ध्यान बड़ी और बात है।
🍁ध्यान का अर्थ होता है: शुद्ध जागरूकता।
किसी चीज पर एकाग्र नहीं, सिर्फ जागे हुए—बस जागे हुए।

ऐसा समझो कि टार्च होती है।
टार्च ध्यान नहीं है, एकाग्रता है।
जब तुम टार्च जलाते हो तो प्रकाश एक जगह जाकर केंद्रित हो जाता है।
लेकिन जब तुम दीया जलाते हो तो दीया जलाना ध्यान है। वह एक चीज पर जाकर एकाग्र नहीं होता; जो भी आसपास होता है सभी को प्रकाशित कर देता है।
एकाग्रता में मगर तुम टार्च लेकर चल रहे हो तो एक चीज तो दिखाई पड़ती है, शेष सब अंधेरे में होता है।
अगर दीया तुम्हारे हाथ में है तो सब प्रकाशित होता है।
और
🪔 ध्यान तो ऐसा दीया है कि उस में कोई तलहटी भी नहीं है कि दीया तले अंधेरा हो सके। ध्यान तो सिर्फ ज्योति ही ज्योति है, जागरण ही जागरण है—और बिना बाती बिन तेल!
इसलिए दीया तले अंधेरा होने की भी संभावना नहीं है।

🍁ध्यान शब्द तो तुम समझो साक्षी—भाव।

जैसे मुझे तुम सुन रहे हो, दो ढंग से सुन सकते हो। जो नया—नया यहां आया है, वह एकाग्रता से सुनेगा। स्वभावतः, दूर से आया है, कष्ट उठाकर आया है। यात्रा है। कोई शब्द चूक जाए! तो सब तरफ से एकाग्र होकर सुनेगा। सब तरफ से चित्त को हटा लेगा। जो मैं कह रहा हूं, बस उसी पर टिक जाएगा। लेकिन जो यहां थोड़ी देर रुके हैं, जो थोड़ी देर यहां रंगे हैं, जो थोड़ी देर यहां की मस्ती में डूबे हैं, वे एकाग्रता से नहीं सुन रहे हैं, ध्यान से सुन रहे हैं। भेद बड़ा है। एकाग्रता से सुनोगे, जल्दी थक जाओगे। तनाव होगा। एकाग्रता से सुनोगे तो यह पक्षियों का गीत सुनाई नहीं पड़ेगा। राह पर चलती हुई कारों की आवाज सुनाई नहीं पड़ेगी। एकाग्रता से सुनोगे तो और सब तरफ से चित्त बंद हो जाएगा, संकीर्ण हो जाएगा। ध्यान से सुनोगे तो मैं जो बोल रहा हूं वह भी सुनोगे; ये जो चिड़ियां टीवी—टुट—टुट, टीवी—टुट—टुट कर रही हैं, यह भी सुनोगे। राह से कार की आवाज आएगी, वह भी सुनोगे; ट्रेन गुजरेगी, वह भी सुनोगे। बस सिर्फ सुनोगे! जो भी है, उसके साक्षी रहोगे। और तब तनाव नहीं होगा, तब थकान भी नहीं होगी। तब ताजगी बढ़ेगी। तब चित्त निश्छल होगा, निर्दोष होगा, क्योंकि चित्त विराम में होगा।

🍁निराकार पर ध्यान नहीं करना होता है।
जब तुम ध्यान में होते हो तो निराकार होता है।
आकार पर ध्यान करना एकाग्रता; और ध्यान करना निराकार से जुड़ जाना है।
निराकार में पैठकर, निराधार लौ लाय।
सब आधार छूट जाते हैं वहां। निराधार हो जाता है व्यक्ति, निरालंब हो जाता है।
बस मात्र होता है।
शुद्ध होने की वह घड़ी है।
बस, होने की वह घड़ी है।
अपूर्व है।
वहीं झरता है अमृत।

My own method is: You relax. Neither watch the watcher nor watch the watched. Just relax, be passive.

If something floats and you cannot help seeing it, see it.
But don't make any effort to see it deliberately.
If you are relaxed like a mirror, if some cloud passes by, it will be reflected.
Be like a mirror - lucid, passive.

Drop both - the Gurdjieffian method of self-remembering, and the Buddhist method of watching.

🍁 But if you have to choose between Gurdjieff and Buddha, choose Buddha.
🍁 If you have to choose between Buddha and me, choose me.

#Meditation

The first thing to be understood is: the human mind is monkeyish. It was not Darwin who discovered that man comes from monkeys. It has been a long-standing observation that the human mind behaves in the same patterns as the mind of the monkey.

Only rarely does it happen that you transcend your monkeyishness. When mind becomes still, when mind becomes silent, when there is really no mind at all, you transcend the monkeyish pattern.

What is the monkeyish pattern? For one thing, it is never still. And unless you are still, you cannot see the truth.

Be Calm

[Osho ओशो 🪷 @OshoDharma]

अकेला होना मनुष्य का स्वभाव है।
अकेला होना मनुष्य की नियति है।
और जब तक अकेले होने को स्वीकार न करोगे,
तब तक बेचैनी रहेगी।

कोई अपना नहीं है,
यह इतना बड़ा सत्य है कि इससे लड़ना मत।

एकांत में ही मंदिर है।
एकांत में ही, परम एकांत में ही आत्म-साक्षात्कार है।

if you try to bring consciousness to every act that you go through, you will be living in a silent, blissful state, in serenity, in joy, in love. Your life will have the flavour of a festival.

To be calm is the greatest asset in the world. It's the greatest power you can have. If you can only learn to be calm you will solve every problem.This is something you must remember. When you are perfectly calm, time stops. There is no time, karma stops, samskaras stop.

This society depends on belief.
Its whole structure is based in creating robots and machines, not men.
This earth, this beautiful earth, we have turned into a great prison.
Man is allowed to exist only if he compromises with all kinds of nonsense.

Enjoy small things, that is real life: real life consists of small things. It is only the mind which thinks of great things. Great things don't exist. God and nirvana and paradise don't exist, they are just mind creations! What exists are small things: cleaning the house, cooking the food and taking a shower. These are the real things, and if you can enjoy these, you are enlightened.

SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM…
THE #OSHO WAY…

I teach love for life. I teach the art of living your life totally, of being drunk with the divine through life. I am not an escapist. All your old religions have been teaching you escapism – they were all in a certain sense hip. The word ‘hippie’ has to be understood. It simply means one who escapes from the battle of life, who shows his hips…! All your old religions are hippie! They have shown their hips. They could not accept the challenge of life; they could not confront and encounter life. They were cowards; they escaped to the mountains, to the monasteries…..

But even if you escape to the mountains and to the monasteries, how can you leave yourself behind? You are part of life. Life pulsates in your blood, life breathes in you, life is your very being! Where can you escape? And all those efforts to escape, considered correctly, are suicidal. Your monks, your nuns, your mahatmas, your so-called saints, were all suicidal people; they were trying gradual suicide. Not only were they suicidal, they were cowards too – cowards because they could not even commit suicide in a single blow. They were committing suicide gradually, in installments; by and by, slowly they were dying. And we have respected these unhealthy people, these unwholesome people, these insane people. They were against God because they were against life….

We celebrate everything. Celebration is our way to receive all the gifts from God. Life is his gift, death is his gift; the body is his gift, the soul is his gift. We celebrate everything. We love the body, we love the soul. We are materialist spiritualists. Nothing like this has ever happened in the world. This is a new experiment, a new beginning, and it has a great future.

In the past there have been materialists who denied the soul, and there have been spiritualists who denied the body. Both were agreed on one point: that only one can be accepted, either the body or the soul. They were either/or people. They were not ready to accept the whole as it is; they were choosers.

My sannyasins live in choiceless awareness. We are not choosers; we simply accept whatsoever is the case. The materialists – the Charvakas in India and the Epicureans in Greece – denied the soul. They said, “There is no soul. The soul is just imagination. The soul is illusion.” And the spiritualists – Shankaracharya in India and Berkeley in Europe – these people said that matter is illusory, maya. The body does not exist really; it is only your imagination. It is a dream, made of the same stuff as dreams are made of; you are a soul. But both are agreeing on one point: that they cannot accept reality as it is, they have to choose. It is as if one electrician chooses the positive pole and another electrician chooses the negative pole, and each denies the other pole. There will be no electricity, no light in the world…..

My effort here is to create the whole man. To me the whole man is the only holy man. The East and the West have to meet; they have to become complementaries, not antagonists. But this is possible only if we change the whole philosophical background. Hence I teach a very contradictory philosophy. Spiritual materialism is the name that I give to my philosophy.

I want you to be materialists and spiritualists simultaneously, in a balanced way. I would love society to have all the facilities, all the comforts and conveniences that science and technology can provide, and I would also love people to have a great awareness inside them so that they can enjoy whatsoever science provides. I would like everybody to be a buddha, but at the same time I would also like the world to become more and more comfortable, more and more loving, more and more beautiful.

We can transform this world into a paradise, but then we have to stop choosing. We have simply to accept the whole as it is, with all its contradictions.

#TheBeing

Doubt and belief are two sides of the same coin. Doubt comes from the head, belief comes from the heart, but they are two sides of the same coin. One is rational, another is emotional, but both are bondages.

The enlightened person goes beyond the head and the heart both; he reaches to his being. He lives from being - he lives from that awareness which is beyond the heart and the head, beyond reason, beyond emotion. His insight is clear, unclouded. He never believes, he never doubts, he simply knows, he understands.

MEDITATION REDEFINED
#Osho
#Meditation

Meditation is rest, absolute rest, a full stop to all activity – physical, mental, emotional. When you are in such a deep rest that nothing stirs in you, when all action as such ceases – as if you are fast asleep yet awake – you come to know who you are. Suddenly the window opens. It cannot be opened by effort because effort creates tension – and tension is the cause of our whole misery. Hence this is something very fundamental to be understood that meditation is not effort.

One has to be very playful about meditation, one has to learn to enjoy it as fun. One has not to be serious about it – be serious and you miss. One has to go into it very joyously. And one has to keep aware that it is falling into deeper and deeper rest. It is not concentration, just the contrary, it is relaxation. When you are utterly relaxed, for the first time you start feeling your reality; you come face to face with your being. When you are engaged in activity you are so occupied that you cannot see yourself. Activity creates much smoke around you, it raises much dust around you; hence all activity has to be dropped, at least for a few hours per day.

That is only so in the beginning. When you have learnt the art of being at rest you can be both active and restful together, because then you know that rest is something so inner that it cannot be disturbed by anything outer. The activity goes on at the circumference, at the center you remain restful. So it is only in the beginning that activity has to be dropped for a few hours. When one has learned the art, then there is no question: for twenty-four hours a day one can be meditative and one can continue all the activities of ordinary life.

But remember, the key word is rest, relaxation. Never go against rest and relaxation. Arrange your life in such a way, drop all futile activity because ninety per cent is futile; it is just for killing time and remaining occupied. Do only the essential and devote your energies more and more to the inner journey. Then that miracle happens when you can remain at rest and in action together, simultaneously. That is the meeting of the sacred and the mundane, the meeting of this world and that, the meeting of materialism and spiritualism.

#ConsciousAlertness
#MeditativeAwareness

Do whatsoever you are doing, but do as if you are a witness to it – watch it, silently go on observing it. Don’t get lost into things; remain alert, remain beyond.

Start from small things: Walking on the road, eating, taking a bath, holding the hand of a friend, talking, listening – small things – but keep alert.

You will forget again and again. Pick it up again, find it out again, remember it again.

The diamond is lost
in piles of rubbish.
But if you can uncover it,
you will find the
diamond again - it is yours.

It cannot really be lost:
it can only be forgotten.
We are born as meditators,
then we learn the ways of the mind.
But our real nature remains
hidden somewhere
deep down like an undercurrent.
Any day, a little digging,
and you will find the source
still flowing, the source
of fresh waters.
And the greatest joy in life is to find it.

Which is beyond mind cannot be put into into words.
