Should she still keep trying or is it time to let go and drop effort, she wonders. Osho checks her energy. My feeling is that for a few months more you should continue doing things. Right now, it will not be possible for you to do meditations spontaneously....

We are not matter. Matter simply does not exist, matter is a myth. That which exists is energy. Energy means that things are not things, they are processes. The whole existence is a dynamic force – it is not static: it is moving, it is growing, it is evolving....

Ordinarily what we think is joy is not joy; at the most it is entertainment. It is just a way to avoid oneself. It is a way to intoxicate yourself, it is a way to be drowned in something so you can forget your misery, your worry, your anguish, your anxiety....

We can’t go to go, we can’t search for him, because we don’t know where he is. All we can do is to be ready to receive him, to invite him. Prayer is an invitation, a letter to the unknown to say that one is available....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 26 26 May 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand means bliss, joy, and niyama means discipline. Let joy be your discipline... and a discipline is a discipline only when it is out of joy. If it is forced and you are not joyously in it then it is a self-imposed slavery, it is not discipline.
