< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 3 3 February 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A sannyasin reports on doing the nadabrahma meditation for nine months, including during his job as a pilot. He finds it a great source of energy.] It is... it is a great source of energy. We don’t know our own sources and we don’t know how to connect with those sources. When you are humming a sound you fall into harmony....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 4 4 February 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A sannyasin told Osho about a centre sannyasins were starting in Holland. Osho encouraged Niketana to go back and help the centre in holland, saying that wherever people are doing his work, he is there] It is the greatest creativity possible when you help people to grow. Nothing else is more creative – because you create consciousness....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 5 5 February 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Gurudas. Guru means the master, and das means the servant – the servant of the master.

So remember it: one can cultivate peace and look peaceful, and may not be peaceful....

Prem means love, sarv means total and esh means god – and that has a message for you. Two things have to be remembered: love and totality. Both help each other, because it is only love that can be total. It is only through love that one can come to feel what totality is....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 8 8 February 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [Osho gave a new sannyasin the name ‘deva sarvahara’ – saying that the meaning was ‘one who has lost all’. Osho said that Jesus’ saying – ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit’ – meant that those who had nothing, who were nothing, were blessed. This did not imply that one should live an impoverished life; one should live beautifully, but one should not be possessed by one’s belongings....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 9 9 February 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine and chirantana means eternal; divine eternity. And a few things have to be understood. First, eternity is not duration: it is not time going on and on and on. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is something totally different than time – diametrically opposite, rather. [Osho said time is a distortion of eternity....
