Osho Speaks

"When You start treading on Spiritual path ,it has a very very beautiful thing..

It says to you, that ,
Firstly - before you start serving anybody else, be absolutely selfish.

How can you serve anybody else unless you have attained your inner being first?

Be absolutely selfish!

If your own inner light is burning you may be able to help others; otherwise your service will be a mischief.

And the world is so much in mischief because of so many revolutionaries, so many social reformers, so many self-appointed servants.

They create mischief, they create chaos; it is natural because they have not attained to their own truth and they have started helping others.

If you have a light within, you may share your light with somebody else, but if you don’t have it how can you share it?

How can you share that which you don’t have?

A man came to Buddha – he must have been a very very great revolutionary, like Marcuse or others – and he asked Buddha, ”Tell me how I can serve others.

I have a deep compassion in me and I would like to make everybody happy.”

Buddha looked at him.

It is said he became sad; Buddha became sad looking at him.

The man said, ”Why have you become so sad?” Buddha said, ”It is difficult because you yourself don’t seem to be happy and you are on a mission to make everybody happy.

How can you share that which you don’t have?”

First you be; and once you are then it is not a mission.

Once you are blissful, then you don’t go out of your way to help others – your very being is a help wherever you are; you don’t make it a profession.

The way you are, wherever you are... if you sit near a tree, you help the tree.

Not consciously, not with any effort on your part, just being near the tree, and the tree responds and your inner being flows into the tree, and the tree flows into you – and you have awakened a tree.

Some day this tree will become a buddha and you will be a part in it, you participated in it; and when this tree will become a buddha and the whole universe will celebrate, you will also celebrate – a part of you, you have given to the tree, you have shared."

Q: Gurudev, you speak of 3 bodies - gross, subtle, and causal. How are depression & su***de linked to them. Also, How can chanting & meditation during Ayush Homa, especially on one’s birthday, strengthen & heal us?

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji - The chanting of mantras creates an environment of positivity & sacredness. Mantras have an impact at the subtle level also. Our physical body is the gross body, while our subtle body is 1.5 times larger than the gross body.

And the Karana Sharira or Causal body is a 1000 times finer and subtler than even the subtle body itself. So we have 3 kinds of bodies. When the subtle body constricts and becomes smaller than the gross body, then a person becomes restless and miserable. When the subtle body diminishes even further, then a person loses his mental balance and feels like committing su***de. This is the root cause behind su***des.

By the practice of chanting mantras, pranayama & meditation the subtle body grows larger in size and also gets strengthened. When the subtle body becomes strong then one appears normal (physically). And when the subtle body expands much more than its normal limits then one feels that he is soaked in bliss. And as the subtle body expands further, it becomes finer & finer and merges or becomes one with the Causal body – that is when one gets Moksha (liberation or salvation).

Ayush Homa is a part of an ancient tradition and is performed to offer prayers for increasing one’s health & longevity. We pray for good health so that our eyes have proper sight, our ears should be able to hear properly till the time we leave this body. Along with the chantings, we also honour the Navagrahas (nine planets) and offer the sacred food grains associated with each planet into the sacrificial fire. This is what Ayush Homa is all about.

So during the Homa we chant mantras & pray to the Divine, saying, “May my lifespan increase; may I be healthy & free from diseases, and may only auspicious things happen through me. May I feel belongingness with everyone and everything around me”.

So one performs the Ayush Homa with all these prayers and wishes. This is an ancient Vedic way of celebrating one’s birthday.

7 Types of Rest Your Body and Mind Crave

Ever slept 8 hours but still woke up drained?
Sleep alone can’t fix modern exhaustion.

Science reveals true restoration requires layered rest. Here’s how to heal every part of you:

1. Mental Rest
↳ When your brain is a browser with 100 tabs open.
• Pause the overthinking loop.
• Try: Mindful breathing, screen-free mornings, or doodling.

2. Physical Rest
↳ Your body’s SOS signal.
• Listen to aches before they scream.
• Try: Yoga nidra, stretching, or a warm bath.

3. Spiritual Rest
↳ When purpose feels blurry.
• Reconnect with your “why.”
• Try: Nature walks, gratitude journaling, or quiet reflection.

4. Emotional Rest
↳ The cost of wearing invisible armor.
• Stop performing “fine.”
• Try: Therapy, solo dance parties, or saying “I need space.”

5. Creative Rest
↳ Empty well, zero ideas.
• Refill your inspiration bucket.
• Try: Cloud-watching, visiting art galleries, or cooking without recipes.

6. Sensory Rest
↳ When the world feels like a strobe light.
• Escape the 24/7 noise circus.
• Try: Earthing (walk barefoot), candlelit evenings, or noise-canceling headphones.

7. Social Rest
↳ Dreading Zoom calls? That’s your cue.
• Protect your relational energy.
• Try: Solo hikes, muting group chats, or a “no small talk” day.

Rest isn’t lazy.
It’s how you:
→ Show up fully for your kids.
→ Lead teams without snapping.
→ Turn chaos into clarity.

The world doesn’t need another burnout martyr.
It needs you — recharged, inspired, and unapologetically human.
