Chandra Mohan Jain – OSHO (1931-1990)
” I have heard: A man, driving his car on a lonely road, suspected that he had missed the path, suspected that he was moving in a wrong direction. He saw a beggar walking, so he stopped the car and asked the beggar: Does this road lead to Delhi? The beggar said: I don’t know. So the man asked: Does this road lead to Agra? The beggar said: I don’t know. The man, who was already irritated, became more irritated, and said to the beggar in anger: So, you don’t know much. The beggar laughed and said: But I am not lost. ” Excerpt taken from Roots And Wings, Talks on Zen, the Eighth Talk p:325 by Osho
OSHO: Don’t Use this Planet Like a Waiting Room
“Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars… and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to be become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers – for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.” ~ Osho
“Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it.”~ Osho
“In this world the greatest courage is to drop the mind aside. The bravest man is who can see the world without the barrier of the mind, just as it is. It is tremendously different, utterly beautiful. There is nobody who is inferior and there is nobody who is superior — there are no distinctions.”~ Osho
“The mind exists in time, in fact the mind is time; it exists in the past and the future. And remember, time consists of only two tenses, the past and the future. The present is not part of time, the present is part of eternity.”~ Osho
