Fwd: Time to be completely disillusioned

[Guest guest]

Words of Osho...............

=================================

My effort is to give you the dignity of being a master. And unless

each of my sannyasins is a master unto himself, he is going to remain

in different kinds of slaveries, consciously or unconsciously.

Nobody in the whole history of man has tried to give man his dignity.

Yes, Jesus says to people, " You are my sheep, I am your shepherd. "

And I sometimes wonder: not a single man stood up to say, " Shut up,

please! I am also a shepherd. "

Gautam Buddha's story is that he was born while his mother was

standing under a saal tree. It is a strange way of being born, and

not only that, he stood directly on the earth coming out of the womb.

Ordinarily the head comes first. Once in a while the feet also come

first, but nobody has ever heard that a just-born child stands on the

earth and walks seven feet and declares to the world, " I am the most

enlightened person in the whole existence. "

 

My problem is that for twenty-five centuries nobody has criticized

this man, what kind of nonsense... we have become so enslaved that we

have lost the courage. Even when we see absolutely patent nonsense,

we don't raise a question. We simply accept it. We are left in such a

situation that we have lost all our intelligence. And the profit goes

certainly to the vested interests; they would like you to remain in

the same situation.

I would like you, Amrito, just to forget all about spiritual growth.

Forget all about spiritual goals. Existence has no goal; existence is

simply a tremendous playfulness of energy, not going anywhere.

Rejoice in this dance, be part of this dance, and flowers of

tremendous bliss will shower on you.

Nobody has to lead you and nobody has to save you. All those people

were nothing but very subtle egoists. They have dominated humanity up

to now, and this is the result that we see all over the world -- just

misery. People go on living, because what else to do. They go on

dragging themselves knowing perfectly well that in the end is the

grave. Hoping, dreaming, imagining, but not living.

I teach you life, and life is now and here.

It is always now and always here and except drowning yourself into

life in all its dimensions, in all its colors, there is no paradise.

There is nothing else but this sheer dance.

People go on changing their illusions.

When they are young somebody has the illusion of love; perhaps love

will open the doors of all the mysteries. It opens the doors, not of

the mysteries, but of the miseries. Somebody is running after money.

And a man like Henry Ford, when asked, " You have earned more money

than anybody else in the world. Now, at the top, how do you feel? "

said, " Utterly frustrated, because at the top there is nothing. All

that I have learned in my whole life is climbing ladders. I went on

climbing hoping that on the next rung may be the fulfillment... but

the fulfillment never comes. "

 

I have said to Amrito that when people are finished with their

worldly hopes, illusions, dreams, then they change and they start

hoping about spiritual growth, about God, about paradise. These are

the same people and this is the same mind which has not learned

anything at all.

Unless you are completely disillusioned -- that means now you don't

think of tomorrow at all -- you will not know the pure truth of

existence, which just exists in this moment. You will not fall in

tune with it. You are always moving away, postponing. You are going,

you are always on the go.

It is time for you to be completely disillusioned -- of worldly

illusions, of otherworldly illusions, of love, of money, of

enlightenment. Just simply be whatever you are, and you have arrived

home.

In fact you have never left it.

 

You have always been here.

 

Just to bring you back to your senses....

 

Grandma Faginbaum, out walking her dog, goes into the local

supermarket and leaves the dog tied to the railing outside.

Immediately, the dog is surrounded by all the neighborhood dogs who

come to sniff.

A cop, standing close by, watches this and calls to the old

woman, " Lady, you can't leave your dog alone like that, she's in

heat. "

" Eat? " says Grandma Faginbaum. " She'll eat anything. "

" No, no! " shouts the cop. " The dog should be bred. "

" Bread, cake, biscuits, " calls out Grandma, " she'll eat anything you

give her. "

Becoming frustrated, the cop yells out, " Your dog should be screwed! "

" So screw her, " calls back Grandma. " I always wanted a police dog. "

 

Okay, Maneesha?

Yes, Beloved Master.

 

 

THE END.
