Ego down; Joy arise

May 19 Even

Osho
Man needs drugs because civilisation has dulled your senses. Drug is harmful, but to live without sensitivity is not to live at all. Drug cannot be stopped unless man is made sensitive again. Drugs will disappear once man becomes
sensitive again.
A sensitive person will feel that his sensitivity is lessened thru drugs, whereas a dull person will feel his sensitivity grows.

Ego is the greatest drug. LSD is nothing. Alcohol is nothing.
Ego keep you so drugged, so unconscious. Once the body attains to sensitivity, you will find joy through the body, great joy. Everything is joyful, looking at trees, swimming in the river, etc. You will be able to dance and sing if the body is resurrected.

Ego has to disappear, but not to be repressed, otherwise it will bubble up on a deeper level. When the ego disappear from the mind, knowledge disappears, knowing arises; you don't have any knowledge, but u have a capacity to know. You will have great insight. Scriptures disappear, borrowed knowledge becomes meaningless, your own knowing capacity arises. You have an inner lamp, and your silence grows.
