Blessing

PRESENTLY ONLY FORTUNATE PEOPLE

WILL LISTEN TO MY TALKS...

December 27, 1980.

Maharaj :- The trouble is, everybody wants to have the knowledge of the Self without giving up the identification with the body, they are contradictory.

Give up this identification and everything becomes simple.

A child may be playing with the smallest coin, and if it is removed will
be greatly agitated. You accept your identification with the same
determination, the same anxiety, in spite of the knowledge which you are being given.

Even if you give the child a toy made of gold, he will reject
it because he has his heart set on that small coin. Even if I give you
this knowledge, which is priceless, it will not be acceptable.

Whatever one sees or perceives, that one must be prior to what is seen or perceived. It is simple.

When this knowledge of the Self gets firmer and firmer we are no
longer attracted to those things which had previously attracted us so
much.

You see me talking, apparently at ease, but there is continual
suffering, particularly between 2 and 4 p.m. the existence of this
consciousness itself becomes unbearable. This is no one else's experience I experience it myself.

What is being recorded now, when it is typed and put into book form
and someone reads it, what will he make of it? He will say that he cannot imagine anyone having lived who could say this.

The actual-fact now is that I have reached a stage where it would require good fortune for anyone to have even a sight of that principle.

The words are so profound, there is deeper meaning behind it.

Presently only fortunate people will listen to my talks.

I repeatedly tell you that there is nothing to save in this consciousness, the knowledge "I Am" -if you feel like worshipping something, worship that. I am giving blessings. Blessings mean what? I am giving confidence and courage.

Self

YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT...

Q. Then I just let it do what's natural?

M. There is no question of your allowing it to happen, it will happen,
you have no control over it.

Q. But some things I can control. If I come here or I stay outside - I-can control that.

M. That is a misconception. Whatever happens, happens by itself. All
this is the show, or the expression, of consciousness - the nature of it is change. It is the dance of the conscious presence.

There are so many ways in which consciousness entertains itself, many different forms, abilities, capacities are functioning, but the functioning is merely to entertain itself.

When it is tired, it rests in sleep, when awake it needs
some kind of entertainment, some movement, some doing.

They are all appearances in consciousness; each will last according to its own duration, but basically, nothing that happens has any validity or importance.

Until the awakening, or understanding, you think that you
are the doer, but once this apperception takes place you know there
is no entity that is working.

Q. I just think it would be best to do good things instead of bad things.

M: What do you mean by good and bad things? Good things in one set of circumstances can be bad things in another set of circumstances.

Even the things you consider good can be so only as long as the body lasts.

Only a rare one will realize there is nothing to do -he is already That.

अस्तित्व के साथ जियो
और चीजों को खुद
अपने आप घटने दो।.....♡
यदि कोई तुम्हारा
सम्मान करता है,
तो यह उसका ही निर्णय है,
तुम्हारा उससे कोई संबंध नही।
यदि तुम उससे अपना
संबंध जोड़ते हो,
तो तुम असंतुलित और
बेचैन हो जाओगे,
और यही कारण है कि
यहाँ हर कोई मनोरोगी है।
और तुम्हारे चारों तरफ घिरे
बहुत से लोग तुमसे यह
अपेक्षाएँ कर रहे हैं कि
तुम यह करो, वह मत करो।
इतने सारे लोग और
इतनी सारी अपेक्षाएँ और
तुम उन्हे पूरा करने की
कोशिश कर रहे हो।
तुम सभी लोगों और
उनकी सभी अपेक्षाओं को
पूरा नही कर सकते।
तुम्हारा पूरा प्रयास
तुम्हे एक गहरे असंतोष से
भर देगा और कोई भी
संतुष्ट होगा ही नही।
तुम किसी को संतुष्ट
कर ही नही सकते,
केवल यही संभव है कि
केवल तुम स्वयम् ही
संतुष्ट हो जाओ।
और यदि तुम अपने से
संतुष्ट हो गये,
तब थोड़े से लोग
तुमसे संतुष्ट होंगे,
लेकिन इससे तुम्हारा
कोई संबंध न हो।
तुम यहाँ किन्ही और लोगों की
अपेक्षाओं को पूरा करने,
उनके नियमों और नक्शों के
अनुसार उन्हे संतुष्ट
करने के लिये नही हो।
तुम यहाँ अपने अस्तित्व को
परिपूर्ण जीने के लिये आये हो।
यही सभी धर्मों में
सबसे बड़ा और पूर्ण धर्म है कि
तुम अपने होने में
परिपूर्ण हो जाओ ।
यही तुम्हारी नियति या मंजिल है,
इससे च्युत नही होना है।
इससे बढ़कर और
कुछ मूल्यवान नही।
किसी का अनुगमन और
अनुसरण न कर
अपने अन्त: स्वर को सुनो।
एक बार भी यदि तुमने
अपने अन्त: स्वर का
अनुभव कर लिया,
तो फिर नियमों और सिद्धाँतों की
कोई जरूरत रहेगी ही नही।
तुम स्वयम् अपने आप में ही
एक नियम बन जाओगे।
ओशो.....♡

अपने आनन्द से जीओ ।
इतना ही पर्याप्त होगा कि, तुम किसी दुसरे के आनन्द मे बाधा न बनो ।
इतना ही पर्याप्त होगा कि, तुम अपने आनन्द का नृत्य नाचो और अपना गीत गाओ ।
हो सकता है तुम्हारे आनन्द की तरंग दुसरों को लग जाये और वे भी आनन्दित हो जाये ।
थोडी गुलाल तुमसे उडे और वे भी लाल हो जाए ।
थोडा रंग तुमसे छिटके और वे भी रंग जाय ।

तुमने सेवा की, ऐसा सोचना मत ।
कोयल गाती है । तुम क्या सोचते हो- कवियो की सेवा कर रही है,
कि लिखो कविताए ! देखो मै गा रही हु ! जागो कवियो !
उठाओ अपनी कलमे, लिखो कविताए ! मै आ गयी सेवा करने को फिर ।
कि पपीहा पुकारता है, कि संतो जागो ! कि देखो मै पीय को पुकार रहा हु ।
तुम भी पुकारो ! मै तुम्हारी सेवा करने आ गया ।
तुम इस जगत मे देखते हो कि कौन किसकी सेवा कर रहा है ?

कोयल गीत गा रही है – अपने आनन्द से ।

पपीहा पुकार रहा है – अपने रस मे विमुग्ध हो ।

फूल खिले है- अपने रस से ।

चॉद तारे चलते है अपनी उर्जा से ।

तुम भी तो अपने मे जीओ.......

ओशो

Spiritual quotes

Osho : desire of life

CHAPTER 2: DESIRE FOR LIFE

A desire for life means the future. All desires are related to the future, no desire occurs in the present. This is a very strange thing: you cannot immerse yourself in any desire if you are in the present moment. Desire is always for the future, it is always in the tomorrow. For desire, time is needed; for its fulfillment time is needed, space is needed. Whenever you desire something, that very desiring is in the future.

If there is no future then the desire dies, and if there is no desire then the future comes to an end.

There are two possibilities: either the desire has to be dropped and then the person can be in the present, or, if the person moves into the present then too the desire is dropped - because there is no way to generate a desire here and now, in the present. What do you need right here and now? Think about it a little. What desire can you have in this moment? As soon as you desire you have moved into the future. There can be no connection between desire and the present. The moment you desire, you have left the present. You have removed yourself to tomorrow, to the coming day; your mind has run away.

So the meaning of “desire of life” is also that you are searching for life in the future. But life is here and now, life is you. You are standing in the middle of it, but your eyes are on tomorrow. That is why the present day cannot be seen, it is overlooked. That is why the sutra says to remove the “desire of life” - so that you can get to know life itself. Drop the desire for comfort; so that comfort may be yours.

Everyone is unhappy, comfortless - not because it is in the nature of life to be unhappy but because we do not know the art of being happy, being in comfort. We know the art of making ourselves unhappy, uncomfortable - to an unimaginable degree. We seek suffering. The man who desires for the future, and all desire is about the future, is bound to fall prey to unhappiness because the future never comes, it only appears to be coming. What actually comes is the present; what never comes is the future. No matter what you do, what you get is the present. And if your mind is in the habit of living in the future, then today you will live in the future, tomorrow too, and the day after. Whatever day comes, you will stay in the future. And how can you get what you want in the future? If the future never comes, when will your future wishes be fulfilled? The result will be unhappiness. That is why the fruit of desire is always unhappiness.

Life is not unhappiness, desire is unhappiness. The more desires there are, the more suffering there is. If you are very unhappy, don’t think it is because existence is angry with you. If you are very unhappy that only indicates that you are full of desires. And when those desires remain unfulfilled, then wounds of unhappiness grow in your heart.

If you are very unhappy, don’t try to drop unhappiness. Instead, drop desires - because unhappiness is only the fruit. It is desire that is the seed. The one who has sown the seed has shot his arrow. The arrow can be stopped only up to the point until it is released from the bow. After releasing it there is no way to stop the arrow.

Relationship

RELATIONSHIP

IT is a fact of life, whether we like it or not, that the relationship is not between two people but between two images which each has created about the other.  There is relationship only when two of us can look at each other without the image of memory, of insults and all the rest.

To be related means being in contact, something direct and not between two images.  It requires a great deal of honesty, of attention, of an awareness to look at another without the image which I have about that person, based on my memories.

This can happen only if we are deeply aware that what we consider as someone’s ‘action’ - oneself or the other - is really in fact a happening according to God’s Will or Cosmic Law, and not any individual’s action.
