Entering Sleep Consciously- OSHO

The moment when you are dropping into sleep is the moment to encounter the unconsciousness. If you can remain out of sleep, then the unconscious will be real, because that is the line. The very line from where you drop into sleep is the line where you can encounter the unconscious.

You have been sleeping everyday, but you have not encountered sleep yet. You have not seen it: what it is, how it comes, how to drop into it, you have not known anything about it. You have been dropping daily, coming out of it, but you have not felt the moment when sleep comes to the mind and what happens.

So try this, and with three months effort, suddenly one day you will enter sleep knowingly: drop on your bed, close your eyes, and then remember, remember that sleep is coming and ‘I am to remain awake when the sleep comes’.

It is very arduous, but it helps. One day it will not happen, another day it will not happen. Persist every day, constantly remembering that sleep is coming, and “I am not allow it without knowing. I must be aware when sleep enters. I must go on feeling how sleep takes over, what it is”.

One day sleep is there, and you are still awake. That very moment you become aware of your unconsciousness. And once you become aware of your unconsciousness you will never be asleep again during the day. Sleep will be there, but you will be awake simultaneously. A center in you will go on knowing; all around will be sleep, and the center will go on knowing. When this center is knowing, dreams become impossible. Then you are asleep in a different sense, and you will be awake in the morning in a different sense. A different quality comes by the encounter.

Spread the word

So when I say, “Spread the word,” I mean whatever I have been telling you, go on Spreading in as many ways as possible. Use all the news media, use everything that technology has provided, so that the word reaches to every nook and corner of the earth. And remember, it is far more powerful than any nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons can only bring death—that is not power. But the word which has come from an enlightened consciousness can bring new life to you; it can give you rebirth, resurrection- that is power. Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence… OSHO

Whenever you are with yourself You are with me-OSHO

Question: - Is It possible to be inside with you?

OSHO:- Whenever you are with yourself you are with me,

And there is no other way to be with me.

So don’t create a duality between you and me

Just try to be with yourself,

Just try to be your withinness,

And you are with me!

Language is not capable of saying anything

About a non-dual reality.

Whatsoever is said in language is bound to be dual.

And when you are with me

Neither you are nor I am.

Whenever you are really your being you are a Nobody,

A vast emptiness a whole sky with no boundaries.

And then you are not only with yourself you are

With the trees, with the clouds,

With the mountains,

With the sands, and with the seas…

When you are with yourself you become the whole.

And the way to know the outside Buddha

Is to know the inside Buddha.

When you are completely within yourself

You have known all Christ’s,

All Buddha, all the masters that have ever existed,

And also all those which will ever exist,

Because  you become one with the whole.

Knowing oneself one knows the whole.

It is reported, Buddha was dying and

Ananda (his oldest disciple) started weeping and crying.

And Buddha stops him and says “what are you doing Ananda?”

He looks at Buddha with tears-filled eyes and says

“Now where will I see you? Where will I seek you?”

Buddha laughed and he said

“That has been my whole teaching!

For Forty years that is what I have been telling you,

That Whenever  you want to see me, look within!

APPA DEEPO BHAVA (be a light into yourself)

There, inside you, you will find me.”

Life is a flux - OSHO

I am here to shatter all illusions. Yes, it will irritate you, it will annoy you-that’s my way of functioning and working. I will sabotage you from your very roots! Unless you are totally destroyed as a mind, there is no hope for you.

Discipline has been misinterpreted. People have been telling others to discipline their life, to do this, not to do that. Thousands of shoulds and should-nots have been imposed on man, and when a man lives with thousands of shoulds and should-nots he cannot be creative. He is a prisoner, everywhere he will come across a wall.

The creative person has to dissolve all shoulds and should-nots. He needs freedom and space, vast space, he needs the whole sky and all the stars, only then can his innermost spontaneity start growing.

So remember, my meaning of discipline is not that of any ten commandments, I am not giving you any discipline, I am simply giving you an insight how to remain learning and never become knowledgeable. Your discipline has to come from your very heart, it has to be yours-and there is a great difference.

When somebody else gives you the discipline it can never fit you, it will be like wearing somebody else’s clothes. Either they will be too loose or too tight, and you will always feel a little bit silly in them.

Mohammed has given a discipline to the Mohammedans, it may have been good for him, but it cannot be good for anybody else. Buddha has given a discipline to millions of Buddhists; it may have been good for him, but it cannot be good for anybody else. A discipline is an individual phenomenon; whenever you borrow it you start living according to set principles, dead principles. And life is never dead; life is constantly changing each moment. Life is a flux

One has to be alert to, watchful of, each situation and its nuances, and one has to respond to the situation according to the moment, not according to any readymade answers given by others.

Do you see the stupidity of humanity? Five thousand years ago, Manu gave a discipline to the Hindus and they are still following it. Three thousand years ago Moses gave a discipline to the Jews and they are still following it. Five thousand years ago Adinatha gave his discipline to the Jainas and they are still following it. The whole world is being driven crazy by these disciplines! They are out of date; they should have been buried long long ago. You are carrying corpses and those corpses are stinking. And when you live surrounded by corpses, what kind of life can you have?

I teach you the moment and the freedom of the moment and the responsibility of the moment. One thing may be right this moment and may become wrong the next moment. Don’t try to be consistent, otherwise you will be dead. Only dead people are consistent. Try to be alive, with all its inconsistencies, and live each moment without any reference to the past, without any reference to the future either. Live the moment in the context of the moment, and your response will be total. And that totality has beauty and that totality is creativity. Then whatsoever you do will have a beauty a beauty of its own.
