Osho on God

One of the disciple of Osho asked him about God.

Osho replied: By "God" I don't mean a person. By "God" I mean the magic that surrounds you, the mysterious, the miraculous. By "God" I don't mean anybody who created the world, but creation itself. The very process of creativity is God.

Why are you Unhappy and can stop being Unhappy?

A very rich man once wanted to become happy. He had tried all kinds of ways but everything had failed. He went to many saints; nobody could help him. Then somebody suggested: 'You go to Mulla Nasruddin. He lives in a certain town - he is the only man who can be of some help to you.'

Only a ripe Fruit falls to the Ground

Somebody asks: Beloved Osho, I feel that through developing an attitude of endurance towards difficulties, I have become resigned to much of life. This resignation feels like a weight pushing against my effort to become more alive in meditation. Does this mean that I have suppressed my ego, and that I must find it again before I can really lose it?

Osho Answers:
One of the greatest problems...it will appear very paradoxical, but this is true: before you can lose your ego, you must attain it. Only a ripe fruit falls to the ground.

Misery result of attachment

Misery comes out of attachment. We become attached to things, to people, to places; we are addicted to attachment. We cling to anything and clinging brings misery, because life goes on changing; it is in a constant movement, it is never static, even for two consecutive moments.

People often ask: Is there life after death? Osho counter-question: Is there life before death?

People often ponder over this question that “Is there life after death?” Osho does not give an answer. He counter-questions: Is there life before death? And even if we know what lies beyond death, will we gain anything?

Try to reflect qualities of mirror

Mirror is the one that cannot afford attachment. Once you are standing before the mirror: you are being reflected, reflected totally. The mirror is joyous in reflecting you; the mirror celebrates you, your presence. But the moment you are gone, you are gone. The mirror does not cling to your picture. The mirror does not create a memory of you; the mirror never thinks of you. The mirror will never have any nostalgia, the mirror will never think, “How beautiful a person was!

On Marriage

Marriage is a bond between 2 people. Bond between 2 people who do not know each other and in most cases, never come to know each other. Knowing the other needs the understanding of the self, understanding your own being. And people who understand themselves are very comfortable with other person. And it is this understanding that is never taught in any school and to anyone. Surprisingly, it is the most important thing that consists of being humans.

 I remember reading an old story of a famous Indian Saint and poet, Kabir. One day, a person goes to him and asks the secret to successful marriage.  Kabir listened to him dis interestingly, but quietly and shouts to his wife to bring a burning lamp , saying that it is dark and the wife needs to light the room. The wife brings the lamp burning, without question and puts it there and goes back to her work. This surprised the visitor, since, it was day time. To which Kabir said, "The secret to successful marriage lies is total trust without question. Too often we are so much interested in our perception and reason that we fail to trust the perception of the other partner. And when we can accept unknowingly the other without thought, without doubt, without question, we become one. The distinction between you and me is dissolved and then only love remains. This also brings total understand of the other. Our reason, our self-interest, our thoughts has truely distant us from ourselves and has created an illusion that you are different from me." The person understood immediately and thanked Kabir for insight.

Can you introduce yourself?

Introducing yourself means telling something about you and not about things associated to you. People usually say that there is nothing impossible in this world. But introducing oneself is one task that I found impossible. Trust me; you can never ever define yourself. I know you might not be satisfied with my statement but let’s go into it a little bit deeper.

All of us introduce ourselves by telling our name, age, academic qualification, current working status, hobbies etc.
