TODAY

March 31, 2007

I am here sitting in the computer lab, having done most of my studying for a stat exam that is coming up, and I can’t fathom the reason why we humans cannot just drop all the pretensions and relate as mere human beings. We sometimes always want the same things, but telling people what we want is difficult becaue we assume that that person is not going to give it to us. Or we assume that under the current circumstances it is impossible for anything to happen. Why are we like this? Why can’t we just be ourselves and relate as human beings without all the pretensions and baggage that the society has instilled in us?

We just need to meet each other, and set off like mere animals, socialize like animals. You see when animals meet each other, they willl start a subtle communication, and ofcourse they communicate without speaking, but they do not pretend, they communicate as they are. They do not have prejudices and prior judgments about other animals, they basically try to get it from the other animal what it is all about. But we humans, we have so much baggage and prejudices, that before we even start communicating we end up not meeting the other person in the manner that they would like to be met, but we end up making conclusions before we even start communicating. I hope that it will be possible for me to communicate to people what I really want them to do for me without them having any prejudices and conclusions before hand. hmm

OSHO QUOTES

March 29, 2007

But here, your swords won’t do, nor your army. Here you will have to go alone, because it is a going inward. You have to go to your own center. And it cannot be given because you already have it. It has only to be known, discovered.”

 Live each moment as if this is the last moment: put all at stake, risk all and you will be immensly surprised that life becomes a tremendous miracle. Everything starts vibrating with life, everything becomes a message. Every flower becomes a bible or a koran or a gita, and every star becomes a proof, enough proof that life is not just a material. Every experience of beauty proves that life is more than matter. Every time you say aha! you are saying a prayer.”

Let me repeat. Without effort you will never reach it, with effort nobody has ever reached it. You will need great effort, and only then there comes a moment.when effort becomes futile. But it becomes futile only when you have come to the very peak of it, never before it. When you have come to the very pinnacle of your effort — all that you can do you have done — then suddenly there is no need to do anything any more. You drop the effort.

But nobody can drop it in the middle, it can be dropped only at the extreme end. So go to the extreme end if you want to drop it. Hence I go on insisting: make as much effort as you can, put your whole energy and total heart in it, so that one day you can see — now effort is not going to lead me anywhere. And that day it will not be you who will drop the effort, it drops on its own accord. And when it drops on its own accord, meditation happens.

OSHO QUOTES

March 29, 2007

The day one really decides to take the jump, the jump has already taken place, because the decision is the jump. Even to become aware that “I am in a deep imprisonment”, to be aware of this, is to have moved out of it. Now, sooner or later, this imprisonment cannot be a prison for you.

Women

It’s funny the way women send you symbols and not expect you to act on them and when you do they freak out. What to do.

BUDDHA

March 28, 2007

And Buddha said, “There is only one thing that can be done in every opportunity, in every situation, and that is watchfulness. You will sometimes find people irritated by you, angry because you have hurt their ideologies, their doctrines, their prejudices. Remain silent and watchful. You may have days when you cannot get food because the people are against you, they will not even give you water. Watch…watch your hunger, watch your thirst…but don’t get irritated, don’t get annoyed. What you will be teaching people is of less importance than your own watchfulness
