< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 1 1 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem Birgitta. Prem means love; birgitta means strength, power, energy. Love makes you strong, makes you powerful, because love transforms your possibilities into actualities. It transforms the seed into a sprout, it transforms the potential into the real. Without love one is empty, with love one is overflowing. Without love one is a beggar, with love one is an emperor....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 10 10 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem Anastasia. Prem means love; anastasia means resurrection. Love is the only energy that never dies. Each death only becomes a new birth. Everything else is momentary, except love: love is timeless. That’s why Jesus says love is God. Love is our only experience through which we can have a glimpse of what God is....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 11 11 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A sannyasin says he has had many professions but always felt “It’s not that.” He asks Osho what to do to find his way.] It has nothing to do with what you are doing but with what mind you are doing it. With the same mind nothing will satisfy you. You can go on changing but you remain the same....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 12 13 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand Liesbeth. Anand means bliss; liesbeth means one who worships God. The full name will mean a blissful worshipper of God. God can be worshipped either out of fear or out of love. If the worship is out of fear it is false, it is a sheer wastage of time. The worship is true and significant only when it is out of love, when it is out of bliss, when it is out of gratitude....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 13 14 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem Lin. Prem means love; lin means beautiful. Love is always beautiful. Love cannot be otherwise; if it is, then it is not love. Then something else is hiding behind it; then love is only a facade, a deception, a pretension. If love is really there it is bound to be beautiful. Not only that it is beautiful: whatsoever it touches becomes beautiful, it creates beauty....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 14 15 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva Margaret. Deva means divine; margaret means a pearl – a divine pearl. Man is oblivious of his own treasures because he never looks within; his eyes are focused on the outside. He goes on searching everywhere except into his own self. The search is bound to be futile because the treasure is within; it is not without....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 15 16 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva Werner. Deva means divine; werner means a friend. Friendship is one of the most significant qualities, particularly for a seeker of truth, because truth can be known only if you befriend existence. If you antagonize existence, existence will not allow you its innermost secrets. You have to befriend nature, both without and within; you have to be in a loving relationship with all that is....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 16 17 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem Lyn. Prem means love; lyn comes from a German word “lindy”; lindy means serpent. It is a symbol of wisdom. The serpent power is our intrinsic power. It is called serpent power because it is coiled up like a serpent at the root of our being. It can uncoil, and the uncoiling of it is the real growth....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 17 18 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva Marc. Deva means divine; marc means war – divine war. There is a constant war between the evil and the good, between the forces of darkness and the forces of light, between that which brings you down and that which uplifts you. One has to be very conscious in choosing sides. And it is an every moment affair....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 18 19 August 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Das Satyen. Das means a slave; satyen means truth – a slave of truth. And swami means a master. It is a paradox, but existence is full of paradoxes. In fact if something is not paradoxical it cannot have much value, it cannot have much depth, it cannot be profound. If something looks very logical it means it is very superficial....
