Osho : ONLY THAT WHICH HAPPENS TO YOU IS TRUE. Only that which flowers in you is true. Only that which grows in you is true and alive. Remember it always: AVOID BORROWED KNOWLEDGE.

WHAT HAPPENED? And this has happened in this country many times; there must be something behind it. AND THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE IN THIS COUNTRY THAN ANYWHERE ELSE, because more Tilopas have been born here. But why it happens that a Tilopa has to go to Tibet? Why it happens that a Bodhidharma has to go to China?

THIS COUNTRY KNOWS TOO MUCH, this country has become too much of the head. That's why it is difficult to find a heart -- the country of brahmins and pundits, the country of great knowers, philosophers. They know all the Vedas, all the Upanishads, they can recite by memory the whole scriptures: A COUNTRY OF THE HEADS. That's why it has been happening so many times.

Even I feel, so many times I feel it, that whenever a brahmin comes it is difficult to communicate. A MAN WHO KNOWS TOO MUCH BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE -- because he knows without knowing. He has gathered many concepts, theories, doctrines, scriptures. IT IS JUST A BURDEN ON HIS CONSCIOUSNESS, It is not a flowering. It has not happened to him, IT IS ALL BORROWED, and all that is borrowed is rubbish, rot -- throw it as soon as you can throw it.

ONLY THAT WHICH HAPPENS TO YOU IS TRUE. Only that which flowers in you is true. Only that which grows in you is true and alive. Remember it always: AVOID BORROWED KNOWLEDGE.

Osho : Third Eye

OSHO ON THE THIRD EYE. OSHO: With the third eye you become capable of seeing things which are there, but which cannot be seen with ordinary eyes. All the methods about looking affect the third eye, because looking means a certain energy moving outward from you toward the world. If blocked, if suddenly blocked, the energy will find another path, and the third eye is just near. In Tibet there were even surgical operations for the third eye. Sometimes it happens that your third eye is blocked because you have not used it for millennia. If the third eye is blocked and you stop your eyes, you will feel a certain uneasiness because the energy is there and there is no path where to move. In Tibet they devised certain operations to have the passage cleared. This can be done. And if it is not done, then many things can happen. Just two or three days before, one sannyasin – she is here – came to me. She said, “There is a very hot sensation at the third eye.” And not only was there the sensation,...

Osho : Hugging is the way of the heart.

H U G G I N G Hugging is the way of the heart. Man needs to be needed. It is one of the most fundamental needs of human beings. Unless one is cared for one starts dying. Unless one feels that he is significant to somebody, at least to somebody, his whole life becomes insignificant. Hence Love is the greatest therapy there is. The world needs therapy because the world is missing Love. In a really Loving World no therapy will be needed at all; Love will be enough, more than enough. Hugging is only a gesture of Love, of Warmth, of Caring. The very feel of the warmth flowing from the other person melts many illnesses in you, melts the ice-like, cold ego. It makes you again a child. Osho Book:  The Wild Geese and the Water, Ch 4, Q 1

The pain comes because you are desiring something which is not possible... It doesn’t come from life, it comes from your expectations...!! Life is very shocking, that’s why life is painful! Pain is like fire... It melts the gold, but it purifies it... !! Whatsoever accidental will be burned in it... but whatsoever is essential will come out of purer.. The very darkness will become light and dawn.. ! Osho
