< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌1 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Satyo Dorothee. Satyo means truth; Dorothee means a gift of God. Truth is never an achievement; one cannot seek and search it. Seeking is a sure way of not finding it. Search and you will miss, because the very idea of searching, seeking, is rooted in desire, and desire is the barrier. Truth happens when there is no desire in the mind....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 10 10 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand Rosalba. Anand means bliss; Rosalba means a white rose. Bliss is a white rose. It is white because white is the combination of all the colors. White represents totality. White is the most positive phenomenon, just as the black is the most negative. The black represents the absence of all colors, and white, the presence of all colors....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 11 14 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Veet Lynne. Veet means going beyond; Lynne means idols – going beyond all idols: idols of religion, idols of race, idols of nation. They all make us idolators, and a religious person really cannot be a worshipper of an idol. He wants the real. The idol is only a symbol. To be trapped by the symbol is the misery of man, and all men are trapped by symbols....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 12 15 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand Angelika. Anand means bliss; Angelika means a messenger of God. Bliss is the true messenger of God. No man can be a messenger of God; man can only be a vehicle of bliss. Bliss is the message. And if one can be blissful, one suddenly becomes religious, because it is impossible to be blissful and not to be religious....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 13 16 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Maria Surya. Maria is Hebrew. It is a tremendously significant word; it means rebellion. And it is not just coincidence that Jesus’ mother’s name is Maria. A man like Jesus can come only out of the womb of revolution. Jesus is a rebel, and only a rebellious mother can give birth to such a child....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 14 17 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand Trees. Anand means bliss; Trees means a reaper, a harvester – a reaper of bliss. We are seeds, we are only potentialities; we have to become actual. And that is the moment of great bliss, when we become actual, when the seed is no more a seed but becomes a flower. Ordinarily millions of people are born as seeds and die as seeds....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 15 18 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Satyam Janis. Satyam means deep truth – the ultimate truth: and Janis means grace. Truth brings grace; untruth is disgrace. And people live in untruth, people live in lies. The society supports lies; the state strengthens lies, the church. Nobody is for truth, because truth is dangerous, because truth is rebellious, because truth cannot be enslaved, because truth cannot be exploited, because truth makes a person so utterly unique that the crowd is afraid of it....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 16 19 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [Osho initiates a two-week old baby with the name Anand Ruho – the spirit of bliss, and addresses the parents.] And that’s my message, the whole message. The man without bliss is without any soul. He is just a mechanism; the soul is not yet born. He is functioning just as any other machine can function, and he may be functioning very efficiently, but efficiency does not prove the existence of the soul....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 17 20 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva Pritama. Deva means God; Pritama means beloved – God’s beloved. Yes, to be a sannyasin is to become a beloved of God. Sannyas is not anything less than a love affair – more, certainly it is, but not less. It is mad, mad, mad love... and a madness that is absolutely incomprehensible, a madness that is not a pathology but the ultimate in health, in sanity, in being whole....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 18 21 June 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Love is not something which we can create; it is something given. It is inbuilt in our very being. It is not something that we produce later on; it comes with our birth, it is a natural energy. We may deny it expression; then it becomes a repressed force. It can turn sour, bitter, poisonous, if it is repressed....
