Osho - being religious is ultimate luxury

Jul 17
Back to work. Wake up 4.30 am to do my practices.
Took cold shower and start showering from the head as per Sadhguru's video. Did one cycle of Surya kriya followed by asanas. Surya kriya is now rusty cos didnt do for more than one week. The asanas were fine except for the sitting down postures. I could not easily touch my forehead to knees. Some effort is required.
Did breathing meditation but can't seem to get into posture. Shakti was fine and I stopped once. Shambavi was good. I was on ardhasidharna from Suka kriya. It gives a different field. The lower part of my body was still. It just want to stay there. There were no lower part movement even during Aum chanting and breathe fluttering. Towards the end, still on ardhasidharna with contentment. I just want to sit there. Finished my practices by 7.30 am which is fifteen minutes longer than normal. Possibly because I now add back the lying down with lifting legs asanas.
Father, there were some flying tots of Z but it no longer affects me. Amen

Osho - autobiography
A rich man, if he is not religious, is stupid.
A poor man, if he is religious, is tremendously intelligent.
If a poor man is not religious, he has to be forgiven. If a rich man is not religious, his sin is unpardonable.
When a man is happy with his body, has enough to eat, has a good house to live in; his bodily needs are fulfilled, now psychological needs arise. When ur psychological needs are also fulfilled, then ur spiritual needs arise.
Religion is ultimate luxury. Either u have to be very rich to come to this luxury or u have to be tremendously intelligent.

Soul
I admit my bodily needs are fulfilled but psychological needs not there yet. A part of me still yearns for a partner eventhough I knew there is also frustration and the honeymoon will ends.


I am so thankful that I have the luxury to take 2 days off so that I can do my practices with ease. So that I need not wake up early in the morning..
I am so thankful for my life.
