Mmm, today I did 8 cycle of Suria Namaskara. Good n I was in meditation when I was done. Wil try to get 9 cycle n wil wake up earlier by 5 min tomorro.
Osho
The heart cannot exist without the head and the head cannot exist without the heart. They are the positive and the negative, yin and yang.
Life consists of polar opposites - and whenever u choose one against the other, u will only be half, u will never be total.
The totality has to be courageous. And the greatest courage is to accept the polar opposites.
The roots move downwards in the earth and the tree moves upward. And the upward movement of the tree depends on the downward movement of the roots
Frederich Nietzsche said that if u wan to go to heaven, u will hav to send ur roots to hell.
Without being a sinner, u cannot be a saint.
Soul - this is d same msg as d Indian guru and also its what I experience abt accepting both strength and weakness cos they on the same thread. Its when I accept my sadness/tears, I can accept my happiness/laughter. The more I can cry, the more I can laugh.
That's why its ok to be sad, ok to be depressed, but must know the reason why so u can grow.
Osho
Choose and u will fail. Be choiceless and accept the whole because the whole consists of opposites.
And when u can see the whole as one, the world disappears into God and God disappears into the world.
Buddha is very intellectual. He is utterly rational.
Christ follows the feeling, the emotion.
Kabir says Life and death are two aspect of one energy. Kabir never renounced life, he lived in the market place, he is married. But he transformed his marketplace into a meditativr space. He live in the world but he was not of the world. He walked on earth but he walked in such a graceful way that he never touched the earth. Dualities disappear in him.
Soul - this mornin, at first had contraction tot of CEO n judged that she shld leave. Then another tot came, think expansion, she stay n I get my money. Besides she likes me so don't have to built rship wit another CEO.
Osho
Science is of mind and of division
Religion talk abt God, the totlan the whole, they don't divide.
So, both are lopsided.
A new vision is needed which will be as scientific as possible and as religious as possible.
A revolution where religion and science can disappear into each other, where East and West can become one for the first time, where materialist and spiritualist are no mor enemies but are holding hands in deep friendship. Because that is what happening in life itslef; matter is holding hand with spirit.
Question ; What abt food? Is it not absolutely essential to be a vegetarian for spiritual growth?
Answer; What u do is never essential, what u are is always essential.
Being is essential, doing is not essential.
Consciousness is essential, character is not essential, because it is not the character that creates concsciousness but consciousness that creates the character.
If u r spiritual, things will change around you. You may become a vegetarian, you may not. It depends - people are different
But to be a vegetarian cannot be an essential condition for being spiritual.
There have been spiritual people who were vegetarian, and there have been spiritual people who were not. And it is good that life has variety, different kinds of people; otherwise it would be utterly boring.
God never creates the same person again. The reason is that once is enough, once is more than enough. God is completely satisfied, he never repeat. He believes only in originals, he has no carban copies.
So, I cannot say that food has any essential thing to contribute to ur spirituality. But your spirituality may change your food habits. That too cannot be predicted; I keep ur freedom intact.
Some may celebrate by fasting and some by feasting. People are different.
If you can remember this, u will never be a fanatic.
Soul - Father, u have answered all the questions that been troubling, that I longed to know. You guided me to buy d book. Alas, the question on;
1. Sadness
2. Laughter
3. Food
4. Volunteering
5. Results of spirituality;
all has been answered. There is now nothing to stop me. Its full steam ahead.
Osho
Otherwise, the danger is always there; on the path of spiritual growth, the greatest danger is that of fanaticism.
All so-called religion are fanatic, because they only allow that which their scripture says, and their founder says - everything else has to be denied. That is making life very very limited. And life is unlimited, it is an infinity.
You ask; "What abt food?". I don't talk abt food, I talk abt u - the real thing is to happen there. When it has happened, then I am not worried abt u; then whatsoever u do will be right.
Let me say it in this way; there is no act which is right and no act which is wrong, there are only persons who are right and persons who are wrong. Right or wrong are not the qualities of any act - all depends on who is behind d act.
I don't give u any particular instructions of what to eat or what not to eat. I simply teach u one thing; become more and more conscious, become more and more aware and let ur awareness decide
I simply give a light to u - and that light will be enough, u will be able to find ur path. I don't give u map, and I don't give u instructions.
Remember that whatsoever goes well with you is fine. Don't impose unnecessary structures upon your being. You are already in a prison, don't create bigger prisons for yourself.
Although remember one thing; work diligently as possible for becoming more conscious. Forget abt character; character is a concern of the mediocre. Let ur whole concern be of consciousness.
And when you are conscious, a little alert, aware, when a light starts burning in ur inner being, when you are able to see, many things will change. Not according to any structure, not according to any ideology, not according to any fanaticism - but according to your own understanding, things are bound to change.
My own feeling n this is not a commandment, jus my feeling. When u r more aware, u wil find it less and less possible to eat things which depends on hurting animals, which depends on destroying animals. But this is not a commandment, and this has nothing to do with spirituality. It is simply has something to do with an aesthetic sense.
Let ur consciousness be the only law
Was sharing with Colleague. I told her abt my confrontation wit Close friend and its outcome. We also shared abt PA. I told her I cannot understand why I meet so many people who wan to be my guru. Even when they jus pass me a book, they self proclaimed that they r d guru.
I told her abt close friend keep on insisting abt her calling d American for ACIM n said that is becos of her, I went to the American family n got d cd Way of Heart back to her. Why she want to keep saying that? I was also puzzled that she has massive experience wit Way of Heart, but she never even told me abt it. Normally, we rec something good, we wld thank d person.
Colleague said I met very high ego person and Close friend can't tell me abt d cd, cos she don't want to thinlk that I hav anything to do wit it. Since whenever she pass me a book, she wil self proclaimed as guru, she tot I wld do the same thing. And there is no way in hell, that I can bring her anything spiritual. I am below her level.
I then said alas, after so long I understood. I then asked maybe I got strong ego.
I shared with her abt the trees. The higher the upward movement is dependent on the deeper the root.
Colleague said our ego is in the root, whereas the pepople we meet, their ego is in the tree.
So, our ego is also very high, but since it is hidden, we attract the same high ego people in our life.
We hav hidden big ego. That's why my challenge in spiritual path. That's why I find it so difffuclt to surrender. That's why I broke down. Cos my ego is slashed from within.
For others projection ego, maybe its much easier for them. Cos its identifiable n easy to cut off.
Alas all answers came. It came so fast, so intense. Amen.
If the intensity is great - no method, no technique is needed. Infact all techniques only help ur intensity; they don't really help u to go to God, they only make u more and more aflame.
Soul - this is the same as my weekly Osho - Intensity. So coincidental and reinforcing Osho message.
I use to wonder why I am able to connect with the Source, when my yoga steps are all wrong, when I don't do the invocation, I don't do hatta, I don't do volunteering, don't buy the rudash. Even simple yoga movement can get me connected. Can get connected as long as there is a slight high energy field. I tot something was not right or I was too sensitive or I had major issue.
I did recall I had briefly tot that perhaps its becos of my inner journey n m ready and now this explain.
Now I understand, its becos I have been searching intensely n now it jus materialised without any effort from me.
Osho
The master cannot help u to see God but he can create great thirst in u. He can impart his thirst, he can impart his fire, put u on fire and that does the work.
The intensity cuts the knot, that intensity becomes a sword. The mind has to be cut. The psychoanalyst, counselor all tot the mind to be unravel, but u can't.
The mind is not like a rubbish heap, that u can go on throwing out the rubbish and one day the mind will be empty.
No; the mind manufactures rubbish. It is not easy; while u r emptying it, it is creating more rubbish - fresh rubbish, stronger ones. It goes on creating.
Only for a few moments n will u feel a kind of unburdening, and again it is there. No person is fully psychoanalysed, no person can be - becos psychoanalysis tries to unravel the knot.
Mystic believes in drastic method. The situation is such, desperate, that only a drastic thing can help. A sword is needed. Kabir is a sword. And u can also create ur own sword. The sword is created by two energies; love and death.
Soul - tell me abt it. I was unravelling for so long, until I came to the conculsion is a never-ending problem n I was sick of the vicious cycle and tot there must be a another solution. My mind was shitty and o I decided to end the source, which is d mind and tot of meditation. Alas I was the disciple n not the student. That is why I can get connected so quickly and easily. I just melted.
Father, thank u. It is so reaffirming. How is it possible I got this book in my hand (bought in Chennai airport) and then this section as this particular day. How is it possible? It is beyond logic, its mystical. Amen.
