< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 1 1 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine, aikanta means aloneness. Self-knowledge is possible only in deep aloneness. Ordinarily whatever we know about ourselves is the opinion of others. They say “You are good” and we think we are good. They say “You are beautiful” and we think we are beautiful. They say you are bad or ugly... whatsoever people say about us we go on collecting....

Osho had previously told her to be alone, but she wants love from other people.] That is where the problem is: you want love from other people, and that is the wrong beginning; that is getting out of the bed from the wrong side....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 11 11 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand means bliss, devada means God-given. Bliss is never attained through human effort. It is a grace, not an achievement, so the achiever’s mind goes on missing it. And our society creates the ambitious, achieving mind; hence so much misery in the world. It is a natural consequence of our approach towards life. We are aggressive towards life, and bliss comes only to those who are receptive....

If we can put the past aside great transformation is possible, and immediately possible....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 13 13 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand means bliss, Baul is one belonging to a secret society of mystics. Just as Zen is in Buddhism and Sufis are part of Islam and Hassids are part of Judaism, Bauls are the flowering of the Hindu tradition; they are the highest flowering. But to understand the highest becomes very difficult. The higher a truth is, the greater is the possibility that it will be misunderstood....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 14 14 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand means bliss, vishram means relaxation – a blissful relaxation. The simple word “relax” contains my whole philosophy of life. To be in a relaxed state is to be in God. To be utterly relaxed is to disappear from the circumference and appear at the center. That is the only transformation; there is none other....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 15 15 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand Phulo. Anand means bliss, phulo means flowering – flowering of bliss. Bliss is a seed – we bring it with us, but very few people are good gardeners. They live their whole lives and the seed remains there; it never comes to bloom. The potential remains potential, never becomes actual. That’s what misery is: not to be that which one is destined to be....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 16 16 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A sannyasin asks what to do to help herself in the west. She likes the kundalini meditation most.] Then continue Kundalini, but make it regular; never miss it even for a single day. If you are traveling and it is not possible, then too for one hour just sit silently and do it inside in fantasy, and the same will be the result....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 17 17 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine, paraso means vision – divine vision. God is not a thing outside you – God is not an object, so all search for God as an object is futile. God is a totally new quality of vision. It is a new way of seeing the world in a new light. It is the same world but your eyes are different....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 18 18 September 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem means love, anado means silence – soundless silence. Love is silence – it is the music of silence. That’s why love cannot be expressed. And the moment you express it, you falsify it. It is no more the same experience that was felt in the heart. The moment it comes into the words it is already far away from the heart, because no word can enter the heart and the heart cannot enter into any word at all they never meet....
