This Pain is not to make you Sad... Remember!

"This pain is not to make you sad, remember.
That's where people go on missing....
This pain is just to make you more alert -
because people become alert only when the
arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them.
Otherwise they don't become alert.
When life is easy, comfortable, convenient,
who cares?
Who bothers to become alert?
When a friend dies,
there is a possibility.
When your woman leaves you alone -
those dark nights, you are lonely.
You have loved that woman so much
and you have staked all,
and then suddenly one day she is gone.
Crying in your loneliness,
those are the occasions when,
if you use them,
you can become aware.
The arrow is hurting:
it can be used.
The pain is not to make you miserable,
the pain is to make you more aware!
And when you are aware,
misery disappears." [♥]

Be a fool, drop the ego.

A fool is one who goes on trusting;
a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience.
You deceive him, and he trusts you;
and you deceive him again, and he trusts you;
and you deceive him again, and he trusts you.
Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn.
His trust is tremendous;
his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it.

Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense.
Don't try to create a wall of knowledge around you.
Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen,
and then go on dropping it.
Go on cleaning your mind continuously;
go on dying to the past so you remain in the present,
herenow, as if just born, just a babe.
In the beginning it is going to be very difficult.
The world will start taking advantage of you...let them.
They are poor fellows.
Even if you are cheated and deceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is really yours cannot be robbed from you,
that which is really yours nobody can steal from you.
And each time you don't allow situations to corrupt you,
that opportunity will become an integration inside.
Your soul will become more crystallized.

Ten COMMANDMENTS of OSHO

 You have asked for my Ten Commandments. It's a difficult matter, because I am against any kind of commandment. Yet, just for the fun of it, I write:

1. Never obey anyone's command unless it is coming from within you also.

2. There is no God other than life itself.

3. Truth is within you, do not search for it elsewhere.

4. Love is prayer.

5. To become a nothingness is the door to truth. Nothingness itself is the means, the goal and attainment.

6. Life is now and here.

7. Live wakefully.

8. Do not swim – float.

9. Die each moment so that you can be new each moment.

10. Do not search. That which is, is. Stop and see.
