Didn't do my Isha practices on working day

Oct 4

Father, I woke up around 1 am feeling tired. Then changed alarm to 5.20 am. But by then I still don't want to wake up. Anyway, finally woke up 6.45 am. Didn't do anything. As expected there is remnants of body heat even after morning shower. Our Isha practices are life energising.


Osho
Thirst is needed, a deep thirst is needed. The day ur thirst is total, the rain comes out of that total thirst. Ur total thirst becomes the rain-cloud. There is no other cloud. The day ur call is total, the day ur call is from ur whole being, the day u stake everything in ur call, holding nothing back, the divine appears.

Soul
Well, my thirst is not that great. I valued the benefits but somehow it reach a certain level of plateau and so I retract some practice. My RA is still the same. But the thing is when I retract, the benefits comes down and RA becomes worse. So that's mean I need to continue with the practices.

Osho
Love has limits, devotion has no limits. Love comes for a moment and is then lost. It is ephemeral. Once devotion comes, it stays. Then there is no way to get out of it. Once u have entered it, u have entered it forever. It is not possible to turn back. In love it is possible to turn back, because love is always a little hazy, a little superficial. Devotion goes very deep.

Soul
Yea, I fell in love with Isha practices cos I saw the benefits. But once my benefits reach a plateau, I start to wonder and weigh and slow down on practices. A tot came, since I only love Z, it too can be removed, which is what's happening now.
I have never experienced devotion cos that is losing myself. I have never lost myself yet.

Osho
Love is the first lesson in devotion. Wheresoever there is love, use it to search further.
Love is like a diamond in a mine; it has not yet been cleaned, it is still covered with dirt. Only someone who is capable of looking at it very deeply can realise that it is a diamond.

I want to tell u that devotion lies imprisoned within the prison of love. And love calls out for its release. The day devotion is released from love, the day it emerges refined and purified, u find the divine.

Love is like a nugget of gold which is full of impurities; devotion is gold which has passed through fire and been refined and cleansed. All the rubbish has been burned away, only the pure gold remains. Devotion is the purest form of love and love is an impure form of devotion.

Godliness is hidden in love - release it. And in love u have glimpses of godliness many times, but u didn't know how to free it. Make ur love more like a prayer and less of a physical passion. Don't demand in love, give. Don't be a beggar in love, become an emperor. Share in love, don't hoard.
Gradually u will begin to discover that the impurities in ur love are melting away. And as these impurities melt, a pure flame of light begin to manifest. This flame is called devotion.

Soul
Tot of my yoga practices. I have experienced bliss many times in my Isha practices. But I do my practices because I want the benefits. I love it because of the benefits. I beg for benefits. So, when benefits has become a plateau, I start to sway in my love.
This msg is telling me not to sway. To do my practices as a form of prayer, a thankfulness of where I am, my happy self, rather than to gain more bliss.
So, just do my practices consistently irrespective of benefits. Turn my love into devotion. Amen
Father, thanks for ur message and of all day is today when I finally skip my practice on a working day.
