OSHO Never Born Never Died Just visited the planet and left on JAN 19th

[Guest guest]

On this Day Jan 19th let us remember OSHO and share his expertise.

 

I was most impressed by his following speach.

 

" A meditator needs no personal guidance. A meditator, on the contrary, needs

only one thing: the atmosphere of meditation "

 

 

He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded by other meditators.

Because whatever goes on happening within us is not only within us, it affects

people who are close by. In this communion people are at different stages of

meditation. To meditate with these people, just to sit silently with these

people, and you will be pulled more and more towards your own intrinsic

potentiality.

 

I don't want you to become somebody else, a Gautam Buddha or a Jesus Christ. I

want you to become just yourself, anonymous, nobody special, but blissful. And

you are already on the right path. You have taken a few steps; now just go on

moving, trusting yourself, and on each step your confidence will become deeper.

 

Never ask for advice, because everybody is so unique and so different that there

has never been any person like you before, nor is there going to be another

person like you again. So really, no guidelines for you exist. But existence is

greatly compassionate. It has given you the whole program of your life in a seed

form. If you don't ask anybody, and just silently listen to your own heart and

go on following it, you will reach the space where you can feel at home; where

suddenly you realize who you are, where suddenly you feel a synchronicity with

the whole existence.

 

All that is natural, the trees, the clouds, the mountains, the oceans, with all

of them you will find a certain harmony. You will not find harmony with

machines, big and great computers, factories, automobiles, railway trains. You

may not find any harmony... there is no question, because these are heartless,

lifeless things. They don't know how to sing; they don't know how to dance. Have

you seen any computer dancing? Have you heard of any computer falling in love

with a woman computer? Only machines will be left out.

 

With all that is natural and all that grows, all that blossoms, all that moves

and breathes, all that has a heartbeat, you will find a tremendous harmony. Your

heartbeat will be merging and melting into the universal heartbeat ¯ no personal

counseling.

 

I am not a counselor. Never even for a single moment in my life have I thought

that somebody should be according to my ideas. I share my ideas, I share my

experiences ¯ not so that you should become a certain ideal; I share with you as

fellow travelers. It may harmonize with you. You may find that it comes suddenly

to your awareness that this is very natural for you; that you were not aware of

it, you have become aware. But it is not my idea then. It is your own idea of

which you have not been aware. I share my ideas with you, not to make you into

certain prototypes, but to give you an insight into your own nature.

 

I know myself, I know my nature; I know that all my well-wishers, my parents, my

teachers, my professors, my friends, have tried their hardest to make me

something else. And I am immensely grateful to existence that I never listened

to anybody; I simply went on following my own inner voice. Whether it leads me

into hell or into heaven I have not cared, because my feeling is that if my

nature leads me into hell then perhaps that is the place where I belong. In

heaven I will be an outsider, I will feel unfit.

 

Wherever my nature leads is the place that can give me the feeling of joy and

the feeling that life has tremendous meaning, that it has great splendor; that

it is a miracle just to breathe in and breathe out; that nothing can be more

perfect if you reach to the climax of your own nature.

 

Avoid advisers ¯ because they are so available all around that whether you ask

their advice or not they will give it. People love to give advice; it has a

certain joy. People would love to create their own carbon copies, and they will

feel very happy that they are the original and everybody is just at the most a

true copy.

 

You have your own originality.

 

It is better to remember it always.

 

 

 

" Never go against your inner feelings. "

 

 

Very few people in the world have come to the flowering, and the reason is that

very few people have been rebellious enough against the so-called advisers. Very

few people have dared to find their path and have not followed the superhighway

where everybody is going. But those are the few people who have helped humanity,

its whole evolution, its whole intelligence. Just take away those few people and

man will be back to where Darwin thinks he started growing to be a human being.

 

The crowd must have laughed at that time also. When a monkey came down from the

trees and stood on the ground on his two feet, the whole crowd of monkeys must

have laughed, giggled: " Look at that character! Look at that fool who is going

against tradition, against our forefathers, against our religion, against our

race. " But they must have condemned that monkey who rebelled against the whole

culture of the monkeys, their civilization; they must have said, " You have

fallen down. " Naturally, he has fallen down from the trees. And as time passed,

he must have become weaker. Monkeys are far stronger than you are; they have to

be, they are doing continuous exercise jumping from one tree to another. You

have to do something else; you cannot do that kind of jumping now. You are not

capable; your body has changed completely.

 

But the first monkey who came down must have been a genius, must have wanted to

explore life on his own rather than with the crowd and the mob. Other monkeys

are still hanging on the trees ¯ they are traditional people! They believe in

their ancestors, they believe in their golden past and they don't want to

change. To change, one needs courage ¯ and to be alone, and to make your path.

And make your path by walking it; don't look for a ready-made path. It may have

served somebody else but it was not made for you.

 

If one remembers some self-respect and dignity of his own being, then there is

no need of anybody to teach you, to help you. You are born as a complete being,

with all the potential. You just have to work on your potential and you will

find the goal.

 

Please share your veiws on OSHO and his works.

 

Luv.
