“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.”
― Osho Rajneesh

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." and so in you the child your mother lives on and through your family continues to live... so at this time look after yourself and your family as you would your mother for through you all she will truly never die.”

“Love,
Existence is a play of sun and shade
Of hope and despair
Of happiness and sorrow
Of life and death
So existence is duality
A tension of opposite poles
A music of contrary notes.

To know it
To recognize it
No experience it as such
Is to go beyond it
This transcendence is the real Sadhana
The real achievement

The key to this transcendence is the witness state.
Bid goodbye to the doer,
Live in the witness state.
Watch the drama

Don't drown in it,
Rather be drowned in observing
Then happiness and sorrow
Birth and death
Remain just a play
They do not affect you
They cannot affect you

All error, all ignorance, comes from identification”

INDIVIDUALITY
“As I see it, almost everybody is in the wrong place. The person who would have been a tremendously happy doctor is a painter ant the person who would have been a tremendously happy painter is a doctor. Nobody seems to be in his right place, and that’s why this whole society is in such mess. Each person is directed by others, he is not directed by his own intuition.
Meditation helps you to grow your own intuitive faculty. It becomes very clear what is going to fulfill you, what is going to help you flower. And whatsoever it is, is going to be different for each individual. That is the meaning of the word, individual: everybody is unique. And to seek and search your uniqueness is a great thrill, a great adventure”

Emptying the mind.
“The is no such thing as peace of mind.
There is only one peace and that is when there is no mind.
When there is only a watcher and nothing to watch,
Suddenly everything becomes calm and quiet.

When the mind disappears, thoughts disappear.
It is not that you become mindless; on the contrary, you become
Mindful. Buddha uses the words “right mindfulness” millions of times
When the mind disappears and thoughts disappear, you become mindful.
You do things - you move, work, you eat, you sleep, but you are always mindful.
The mind is not there, but mindfulness is there.
What is mindfulness?
It is awareness. It is perfect awareness”
OSHO

“Joy
For no reason at all, you suddenly feel joyous. In ordinary life. If there is a reason, you are joyful. You have med a beautiful woman and you are joyous, or you have the money you always wanted and you are joyous, or you have purchased a house with a beautiful garden and you are joyous, but these joys cannot last long. They are momentary; they cannot remain continuous and uninterrupted,
If your joy is caused by something it will disappear, it will be a momentary. It will soon leave you in a deep sadness; all joys leave you in a deep sadness. But there is a different kind of joy that is a confirmatory sign: you are suddenly joyous for no reason at all. You cannot pinpoint why. If somebody asks, �“why are you so joyous?’ You cannot answer.
I cannot say why I am joyous. There is no reason. Its simply so. Now, this joy cannot be disturbed. Now whatsoever happens, it will continue, it is there, day in, day out. You may be young, you may be old, you maybe alive, you may be dying - it is always there. When you have found a joy that remains - circumstances change but it abides - then you are certainly coming closer to buddhahood.”

Compassion
“When your love is not just a desire for the other, when your love is not only a need, when your love is a sharing, when your love is not that of a beggar but that of an emperor, when your love is not asking for something in return but is ready just to give - to give for the sheer joy of giving - then add meditation to it and the pure fragrance is released, the imprisoned splendor is released.
That is compassion; compassion is the highest phenomenon.
Love is human, compassion is divine.”
OSHO

TOMORROW we close our intensive 4 weeks of OSHO ACTIVE MEDITATIONS with a beautiful and playful device, the laughter.

OSHO LAUGHTER MEDITATION. 4:00pm-5:00pm

“The moment you feel you are serious, laugh about it and see where the seriousness is. laugh, give a good laugh, close the eyes and look where it is. you will not find any seriousness. Have a good laugh for no particular reason, let the laughter be belly laughter, not a heady thing. the head is absolutely mechanical. You can laugh from the head, then your head will create laughter, but it will not go deep in the belly. It will not go to your toes ,it will not go to your whole body.”

Tomorrow! FEB 26th OSHO NO-DIMENSIONS MEDITATION 8:00am-9:00am
-Be on time

Using the breath and a series of coordinated body movements in the first stage, in the second stage whirling, just the way small children go on twirling; standing on one spot they go on round and round.
Perhaps everywhere in the world small children do that and their elders stop them saying, “You will become dizzy, you will fall, you will hurt yourself,” and, “What is the point of doing it?”
When whirling comes there’s an utterly still and silent, a center of the cyclone.

-“Move within, but don’t move the way fear makes you move”

Rumi Said

TOMORROW, FEB 25TH 8:00am-9:00am OSHO NATARAJ MEDITATION

“In india Nataraj is the god of dancers, and nothing can be compared with dancing - poetry, painting, sculpture, nothing comes close to it. Dancing remains the supreme art. And that is the first art that was born and that will remain the last art, where the dancer is so completely drunk and mad that he has become the dance”
OSHO
