Послания любви. 365 писем Ошо
Шрифт:
the movement is in the divine.
283. Love.
I know your inner condition
more than you know it yourself
because now your inner is not my outer.
Things that are happening to you unconsciously
and even against your conscious will are good.
Welcome them and be grateful,
because nothing divine can happen to you with your will,
rather, your will is the only barrier.
Say wholeheartedly: Thy will be done!
And feel it
and live it.
Come home soon,
I am waiting for you,
and much is waiting to happen to you also.
I know you are skeptical.
That is not bad
but a good beginning to start with.
Wherever there is mind there is skepticism.
Mind is skepticism
and therefore conflict.
That is the way of the mind
and its nature.
Please do not fight with it
nor be identified with it.
These are the obvious alternatives,
but both are false,
and aspects of the same coin.
You will have to walk in between.
Come and be with me, and you will understand.
284. Dear Mukta.
Love.
Yes, you were related to Yoga Vivek in one of your past lives.
Now many things will be remembered by you soon
because the key is in your hands.
But do not think about them at all,
otherwise your imagination will get mixed up with the memories
and then it will be difficult to know
what is real and what is not.
So always be aware from now on
that you do not think about past lives:
let the memories come up by themselves.
No conscious effort on your part is needed;
on the contrary it will be a great hindrance.
Let the unconscious do the work,
you be just a witness,
and as the meditation goes deeper
many locked doors will be opened to you.
But always remember to wait for the mysteries to reveal themselves.
The seed is broken – and much is to follow.
You need only wait and be a witness.
285. Love.
Just drop yourself into the divine and be purified!
Surrender and be reborn.
Do not resist.
Let go!
286. Love.
See: this is a white paper –
it contains words.
You can look at it as white paper or as words.
Or, listen to the silence which contains a sonata;
you can be aware of the silence or of the sonata.
Or, think of the space which contains a building;
you can be aware of the space or of the building.
Or, imagine an empty house;
you can conceive of it as the walls or as an emptiness.
If you see the words, the building, the sonata and the walls
you are in the mind,
but if you see the white paper or the silence or the space
or the emptiness
then you are in meditation.
287. Love.
From sound to soundlessness is the path.
Intone a sound like A-U-M,
slowly, and as sound enters
soundlessness so do you.
Or: remain in the gap between any two sounds
and you yourself will become soundlessness.
Or: bathe in the continuous sound of a waterfall,
or any other.
Or: by putting your fingers in your ears
hear the source of all sounds –
and there will be a sudden explosion
of the silent music of the cosmos.
Using any way fall into the abyss of soundlessness
and you will achieve the divine.
288. Love.
I am thrilled with great expectations about you.
Much is to happen within you and without also.
You are on the verge of the explosion,
so be alone.
Not lonely but alone,
and live with that aloneness.
Rather, be that aloneness;
that is the only meditation for you now.
Loneliness is negative:
to be lonely is to be aware of the absence of others.
But to be alone is the most positive state of mind:
it is to be aware of the presence of oneself.
Be aware of the presence that is you.
Just be aware and wait,
wait for the happening.
Near, very near is the moment.
And remember that I am always with you.
I have always been with you
even when you did not know me.
And always feel my blessings.
289. Love.
Takuan says: You cannot bathe in solid ice,
nor can you live in a frozen consciousness –
and what is the mind except that?
Go in and find out.
Do not ask anybody,
do not go to the scriptures,
go in and find out.
Do not think about it
because that is absurd –
how can you think against the mind?
Any conclusion out of thinking
can only strengthen the mind.
Do not think because thinking
is stopping, halting and freezing.
Thinking is the disease.
