Right food, right work, right sleep

Mar 28

Osho
1. Right diet - it should not create excitement; should not be intoxicating, it should not be heavy.
After eating, you shld not feel heaviness and drowsiness.
The more happily and joyously and the more relaxed and without worry a person can be when eating, the more his food will start becoming the right food.
When eating with anger, in suffering, in worry, man is also eating violently.
So should eat in a very peaceful, a very joyful state. If u r not in such a state, then it is better to wait until u r. When the mind is absolutely ready, only then u should eat ur meals.

On the body level, right-food shld be healthy, non-stimulating and non-violent;
On the psychological level, the mind should be in a blissful state, graceful and joyous
On the level of the soul, there should be a feeling of gratefulness, of thankfulness.
There three things make food the right-food.

2. Right work
Some physical labour is absolutely essential for the agility of the body, the complete alertness of the mind and the awakening of the being. The more fresh air there is inside the body, the more blissful each and every breathe is, the more vitality a person will have to explore the inner.

Working and praying is a repetition. Work and prayer mean the same thing, they are synonymous. And the day that work becomes prayer, and prayer becomes work is the day that right-work will be attained.

3. Right-sleep.

If life proceeds rightly on these 3 points, then there is more possibility of opening what I call the navel center - which is the door to spiritual life.

If you get close to that door, it opens then, a very unique thing happens, something of which u have had no experience in ur ordinary life.

Desire alone is not enough; determination and effort are also needed. The only proof of your desire is the effort that you make to satisfy it. Otherwise there is no proof that u have a desire.

The center of intellect is the mind
The center of feelings is the heart
The center of will-power is the navel.
The more activated the navel is, the more intense the will-power becomes and the more you can attain the determination, the power, the life-energy to do something.

Or in the reverse, the more determined you are, the more you gather energy for doing, the more your navel center will develop.
The more you think, the more ur intellect will develop;
The more you love, the more your heart will develop

The meaning of determination is to have courage, the inner strength and willpower to do something about whatever it is you want, to act according to whatever you think is right and to follow whichever path seems right to you. If u do not have this determination, then nothing can happen through my or anybody else's words. Nobody can do anything unless u urself are ready to do it.

To understand the perversion ur mind.
1. Tremendous fearlessness in encountering the mind
2. No restrictions, no conditions on the mind
3. No judgement about whatsoever thoughts and longings arise in the mind, no judgement of good or bad, ur attitude should simply be indifferent.

Thoughts cannot be thrown out by making an effort to get rid of them, but if the energy of the mind which usually goes into thinking starts flowing into some other stream, then thoughts will automatically become weak. (Soul - no wonder the prescribed moment to moment conscious breathing)

When the man's mind become distracted his thoughts dried up and become lifeless - because thoughts get their life from ur attention.
Thoughts have no life of their own. The more attention you give to a thought, the more alive it becomes. The more u remove your attention, the more dead it becomes.
