CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY
Q: There is nothing to be seen in the ReaL?
M: Because you are accustomed to identifying yourself with the body, and sight with the eyes, you say you do not see anything.
What is there to be seen?
Who is there to see?
How do you see?
There is only one Consciousness, which manifests as the ‘I’-thought, identifies itself with the body, projects itself through the eyes and sees the objects around.
The individual is limited in the waking state and expects to see something different. The evidence of his senses will be the seal of authority, But he will not admit that the seer, the seen and the sight are all manifestations of the same Consciousness.
Meditation helps to remove the illusion that the Self must
be visual. How do you see the ‘I’ now? Do you hold a mirror in front of yourself to know your own being?
The awareness is the ‘I’. Realize that: it is the Truth.

bhakti
It isn't any and every kind of bhakti that enables one to realize God. One cannot realize God without prema-bhakti. Another name for prema-bhakti is raga-bhakti. (Supreme love, which makes one attached only to God.) God cannot be realized without love and longing. Unless one has learnt to love God, one cannot realize Him.
"But some acquire raga-bhakti directly. It is innate in them. They have it from their very childhood. Even at an early age they weep for God. An instance of such bhakti is to be found in Prahlada.
~Sri Ramakrishna
Osho quotes
We are born alone, we live alone, and we die alone. Aloneness is our very nature, but we are not aware of it. Because we are not aware of it, we remain strangers to ourselves, and instead of seeing our aloneness as a tremendous beauty and bliss, silence and peace, at-easeness with existence, we misunderstand it as loneliness.
~ Osho
