Don't reduce life into technology. Life reduced into technology loses all flavor of joy.

- OSHO

Life is fulfilled only through longings, never through ambitions. Life becomes blissful only through the heart, never through the mind [...] Mind can give you better technology, better gadgets. The heart gives you the real, ultimate values: love, bliss, truth, freedom, awareness, 'God'. And a life without these values is valueless.

- OSHO

The poetry of earthen life cannot reach its fullness on a computer screen, or even in the synapses of our magnificent intellect. Our hearts are formed of a wilder clay.

- Lyanda Lynn Haupt

[Do not] love what deceives you. This is why you get sick & die [...] Matter gave birth to a passion which has no Image because it derives from what is contrary to nature.

- Jesus Christ (Gospel of Mary)

We're looking for images and sounds that take us away from the discomfort we’re experiencing in the present moment and cover up the suffering inside [...] we can get addicted to these things, and yet never get the kind of fulfillment we need [...] it’s only because we don’t yet know how to generate that love and peace inside, that we are looking for it outside of ourselves.

- Thích Nhất Hạnh

Even if you go back, you will not find the old shore again. Even if you go back, those old toys will nto be of any help anymore; you are finished with them, you will know they are toys. Now the real has to be found, has to be inquired into. And it is not very far away eithe - it is within you.

- OSHO

we already have enough technological solutions. But we’re so possessed by fear, anger, division, and violence that we are unable to make good use of them. We’re not making the challenges a priority; we’re not investing our time and resources; we’re not collaborating. [...] we need to transform our individual and collective fear.

- Thích Nhất Hạnh

technology has disturbed the whole harmony of nature, now it is the duty of technology to put it back - no one else can do it.

- OSHO

WHERE'S YOUR HORSE GOING?

A man on a horse galloping very quickly...

At the crossroads a friend of his shouted, “Where are you going?” And the man replied, “I don’t know. Ask the horse!” And that is the situation of humanity right now: in our times that horse is technology. It is carrying us off and it’s out of control.

Stop filling your mind consciousness with consuming.

Stop watering these seeds to prevent them from growing.

- Thích Nhất Hạnh

DEPROGRAM, THEN MEDITATE

Mind is juiceless, dry bones. It is a bio-computer; it is not your soul

unless you start from the heart you cannot arrive at the being

heart is the gate to the being

Mind does not allow you to go out of itself - just out of the fear that you may come across the heart, which is so juicy, so beautiful, so lovely and so loving, that meeting the heart, mind has no way to pull you back.

You can use the mind as an instrument, but it cannot remain your master

Mind has not the power to end love;

When people fall in love, however great a mind they may have, the love is going to be victorious, not the mind

take out the trash, then live joyfully with your emptiness

- OSHO
