21. BITING THROUGH Above Fire Below Thunder
“That's what Buddha is saying again and again: perseverance, effort, a conscious, deliberate effort to grow – and a total effort, not lukewarm.You have to boil at a 100 degrees.
Yes sometimes it is painful, but is all depends on you, how you interpret it. If you really want to grow, it is not painful, it is tremendously pleasant. Each step deeper into discipline, brings more joy, because it gives you more and more soul, being.” Osho, The Heart of Yoga

20. Contemplation Above Wind Below Earth
“Take care of yourself. Find a right soil for your being, find a right climate, and go deeper and deeper into yourself. Don’t explore the world; explore your nature. Because by exploring the world you may have many possessions, but you will not be a master. But by exploring yourself you may not have many possessions, but you will be a master. It is better to be a master of yourself than to be a master of the whole world.” �Osho, The Dhammapada the Way of the Buddha

19. Approach Above Earth Below Lake
“LIVE IN JOY…. Live in your own innermost nature, with absolute acceptance of whosoever you are. Don’t try to manipulate yourself according to others’ ideas. Just BE yourself, your authentic nature… and joy is bound to arise; it wells up within you. When the tree is taken care of, watered, looked after, it naturally blooms one day. When the spring comes there is great flowering. So is it with man.” Osho, The Dhammapada the Way of the Buddha

18. Work on what has Been Spoilt
“In a better society …And when I say a better society I mean a society which understands each person’s integrity, respect even a small child’s being, and does not impose on it. But that society seems to be far, far away, because all people have got their vested interests and they cannot stop their trips.” Osho

17. Following Above Lake Below Thunder
“So either surrender totally - then there is no need to think on your part; follow blindly, I emphasise the word blindly - as if you have no eyes. Somebody who has eyes is leading you. Then you will remain an undivided unity; and undivided, integrated, you will grow
Or if you feel that this is not possible and cannot be done, don’t follow at all. Then follow yourself completely. Then too you will remain undivided. To remain undivided is the end, the aim. Both will do, the ultimate result will be the same. If you can be alone, without a master, if you can follow your own consciousness wheresoever it leads you, it is the same, the result will be the same. So it depends on you.” Osho, My Way the Way of the White Clouds

16. Enthusiasm Above Thunder Below Earth
“The word Enthusiasm is beautiful. The root means ‘God within’. It comes from Theo. Theo means God. ‘Enthuse’ means God has entered within. God within, that is the meaning of Enthusiasm. Only on the fifth one becomes full of enthusiasm, God has entered, the melody has entered. You are surrounded by something unknown, the mysterious has entered, the impossible has happened.
Only on the fifth you become religious for the first time. And of course this religion is neither Christian nor Hindu nor Mohammedan. This is simply religion. You have herd his flute: Ham se raha na jay.” Osho, Commentaries on Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet
