When we are alert..we become present...no more past and future

Osho - Krishna
One who is behind time cannot destroy it; he will leave as time's camp follower, its slave. But for one who is ahead of time, time becomes his shadow, his slave.
Time always exists in exact proportion to our unconsciousness, to our psychological sleep. And when we are fully awake, time ceases to be. The fire of awareness burns time altogether.

Exactly same msg as The Power of Now. Both the books I m reading give me the same msg.
Father, a tot came. Krishna can play, cos he is in the Now with no burdens from the Past and no fears or worries of the Future.
So, awareness is the key, consciousness is the way and meditation is the tool.
I noticed that when I watch my breathe, I connect with inner body and awareness arise.

Osho - Krishna
Unlike Mahavira and Buddha, Krishna does not deny life, he is not life-negative.
There is an unavoidable element of negation in the lives of Mahavira and Buddha which is completely absent in Krishna's life.
Mahavira attains through renunciation of life; Krishna attains through being with life.

Soul
Yes, that's always my reservation with Buddha.

Osho - Krishna
The Sanskrit word for Samyama means balance, equilibrium, to be just in the middle. When the scales are equalised so that neither side outweigh itself, it is Samyama.

Soul
Interesting.

Osho - Krishna
In Krishna, there is no spiritual discipline. The basic element of spiritual discipline is effort; without effort sadhana is not possible. And the second inescapable element of sadhana is ego; without the ego, the "?", spiritual discipline falls apart. Who will discipline himself? Effort implies a doer; there has to be somebody to make the effort. Effort ceases if there is no doer.
The ego loves the words: strive, achieve, arrive; it is always after achievement.

Upasana means to sit near God, to get close to one's object of worship. And the worshipper disappears, his ego evaporates.

Soul
I believed so. That's why I have one day sabatical for all practices. I don't do any on Sunday. I just go for my walk. I only do hata yoga on weekday cos weekend I walk and swim. On Shoonya, I do twice on workdays, which is three days a week. Other times I only do when needed.
And when I go on holidays with family for a few days, I don't do any sadhana but I swim instead. Swimming connects me to the joy within.

Osho - Krishna
Upasana is arduous, devotion is hard. Nothing is more difficult than evaporating and disappearing into nothingness.
Upasana means to sit near to someone.
There are two kinds of distances: one is physical and the other is psychological, spiritual. Upasana is a way of ending the inner distance, the psychological separateness between the seeker and the sought.

Soul
When I sit for my practices I just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens. That's why I can sense the energy from nature such as trees, grass and water. Even doing hata yoga opens me up. Guru pooja breaks me down.
 And I can greatly sense Sadhguru.
That's why I m ready for Kailash.
I m no longer afraid of feeling all the energy of the Universe.

Osho - Krishna
Inner space is created by becoming; the more solid my ego the greater is the distance between my becoming and being. And as the ego melts and evaporates the inner distance is destroyed in the same measure. And when my ego evaporates completely and I am no more. I am all emptiness, then inner distance between me and God disappears altogether.
