28 Life is eternal dance, a non-ending hallelujah!

< Previous | Contents ‌CHAPTER 28 Life is eternal dance, a non-ending hallelujah! 31 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [Osho suggests groups to a newly arrived sannyasin, who replies that he has been running groups himself in London. Osho stresses the importance of his putting aside all his knowledge, for it is a barrier. When people become knowledgeable they lose the childlike quality of innocence and the ability to wonder, to be surprised....

3 Love is the natural meditation

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 3 Love is the natural meditation 4 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A sannyasin says: If I run a group and the group goes well I feel good, and if not, I feel bad. I wanted to ask you how to avoid this... how can I avoid this dependence?] Rather than avoiding it... Because it can be avoided but then you will miss something; then the quality of the work will suffer....

4 Will divides, awareness unites

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 4 Will divides, awareness unites 6 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A sannyasin asks about the pattern her relationships seem to fall into: I feel very attracted to a kind of power, aura, and then in the end it’s very destructive for meI find myself loving that person a lot and then they tell me that they don’t really think that they’re interested in me....

5 Sannyas is pure adventure

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 5 Sannyas is pure adventure 7 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium First, a few things about sannyasIt is an initiation into the formless. It is not an initiation into some rigid form, it is not giving you a certain discipline – on the contrary it is an initiation into freedom, into a formless creative chaos. The old concept of sannyas all over the world was to give you a rigid discipline, to give you a character, to give you a certain form, a pattern, a life style....

6 Sipping tea can be prayer

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 6 Sipping tea can be prayer 8 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium A few things about sannyasThe oldest concept of sannyas was very life-negative, it was utterly against life, but my idea of concept is absolutely life-affirmative. Nothing has to be dropped, everything has to be transformed. All that is available is immensely valuable: anything denied will never allow you to be whole, and if you are not whole you can never be holy....

7 When the abyss is your home

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 7 When the abyss is your home 9 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine and himani means coolness – mm? divine coolness. And that is the whole secret of bliss: if one wants to be blissful in existence, one has to be cool. The moment we become hot we lose our centre; the moment we become hot we start moving towards the periphery....

8 The victory that comes through surrender

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 8 The victory that comes through surrender 11 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Jayananda. It means victory and bliss... but this victory is something very paradoxical: it comes only when you stop desiring it; it comes only when you accept your utter defeat. So there are two kinds of victories in the world: one is that which comes through desire, aggression, fight, mm?...

9 Every pain can become a satori

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 9 Every pain can become a satori 12 July 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A sannyasin who came to Osho because he has cancer of the foot, has just discovered that it has now spread to the rest of his body. He says he feels strangely at peace. He is returning to the West.] Mm mm, no, nothing to be worried about; just go....
