ZEN / DEEP HARMONY
Zen knows only a vast life
which contains all kinds of contradictions
in a deep harmony,
The night is in harmony with the day,
and life is in harmony with death,
and the earth is in harmony with the sky.
The presence is in harmony with the absence.
This immense harmony,
this synchronicity
[...] is the only way of life which respects
and loves,
and denies nothing, condemns nothing.
OSHO
Begin with agnosis
be agnostic [...] that is the beginning of real religion [...] Don't believe, don't disbelieve [...] drop all ideologies - all philosophies, all religions, all systems of thought and go inside empty [...] Just go - with a great desire to know, but with no idea of knowledge; just go with an intensity to know, with a passionate love to know what is there, but don't carry any ideas given to you by others. Drop them outside. That is the greatest barrier for the seeker on the path of truth.
commune totally
be in direct immediate relationship with truth or existence
communion with the trees, communion with the stars, communion with the rivers, communion with all that is [...] communion with this multidimensional expression of existence [...] a dialogue with the whole [...] heart-to-heart [...] being-to-being
OSHO
Life is one
There is no division, all is part of one whole
dissolve the distinction
remain part of the market world & meditate, not apart or separate, exactly in the middle
OSHO
Whenever any part claims to be the whole, then things go ugly [...] Then you have lost your roots into wholeness [...] you are reduced to the earth, your sky is lost [...] reduced only to the roots & you don't have any branches which can spread into the sky & greet the sun & the rains & meet with the clouds & communicate with the sky.
OSHO
Trust & Love
Commit your inquiry into the unknown
If you are detached you cannot know beauty. Beauty is known only when you fall en rapport, when the observer becomes the observed, when there is no wall between, when every wall has been transformed into a bridge. When there is a kind of melting, when you become the flower and the flower becomes you, then there is a totally different kind of knowing - the way a poet knows. He will know beauty; he will not know the chemicals. He will not know the objective flower; he will know something far deeper. He will know the spirituality of the flower, the spirit of the flower. And the mystic, his knowing is the highest form of poetic knowing, the ultimate form of poetic knowing. The poet is only there for moments. Sometimes he is a poet, he meets, he mingles, merges into the flower; sometimes he becomes a detached observer. Hence poetry is a kind of mixture of both types of knowledge. The scientific knowledge is purely objective, the mystic knowing is purely subjective, the poetic knowing is a between the two. But basic knowing can be divided in two, the scientific and the mystic. Now it depends on you, in what way you want to know me.
Trust & you will know[...] mystic knowing cannot happen without trust.
Watch [...] Feelings say, "Fall in love, and then you will know." Thoughts say, "Doubt, inquire, make certain. When everything is absolutely proved and you are convinced, rationally convinced then you can trust." And the logic appears very, very clean, there seems to be no trick in it. There is! The trick is that through scientific knowing you cannot know the mystery that is confronting you, you cannot know the poetry that is showering on you. You cannot see the beauty and the grace that is available to you.
it is not a question of gathering information here, it is a question of imbibing the spirit; the only way is to trust. It is only through trust that knowing happens.
it begins in trust, in love; then a totally different kind of knowing happens.
Love, only love, is capable of knowing the spiritual presence. You fall in love not with the physical body; you fall in love with the spiritual presence of a person. But that is available only in trust.
if you have come to be transformed, not only to be informed, then you will have to understand that there is a different door. And that door is trust. Trust is an absurd phenomenon, logically absurd. That's why logic always says love is blind, although love has its own eyes, going far deeper - but to logic it is blind.
Logic ridicules love, and love smiles knowingly at the whole foolishness of logic.
if you have come to be transformed, then fall in love. Then forget the head, then let there be a contact heart-to-heart, spirit-to-spirit. Then there is no need to be too much concerned with what you see, your whole concern should be with what you feel. Then you should not be too much concerned in collecting information, but being in celebration with me.
OSHO
Polish the mirror of the heart
the road your self must journey on lies in polishing the mirror of your heart.
it is not by rebellion and discord that the heart's mirror is polished free of the rust of hypocrisy and unbelief:
your mirror is polished by your certitude - by the unalloyed purity of your faith.
Hakim Sanai
Gnostic silence
[...] come to experience a reality which is inexpressible [...] come to a point of experience where things beyond words happen, where language is left far away, light years back, where there is no possibility to conceptualize your experience.
- OSHO
Grace
Grace comes as a flowering of your being
The moment your meditation reaches to the deepest core, to the very center of the cyclone, a tremendous silence, peace, and blissfulness arise within you
Grace is the total effect of all these qualities: silence, peace, love, compassion, blissfullness, ecstasy
When these things arise in you, their flame, their fire, starts radiating from your physical body
They are so much that they start overflowing
That overflowing of your inner ecstasy is what can be defined as grace
OSHO
MAITREYA
The Friend
there is no person, so you can say, “God is not,” but there is such a presence! The person is not, but such a tremendous presence that who cares for the person? & the presence is infinite, eternal. Once tasted, it is going to remain with you forever.
