OSHO VISION

Meditation

Is the only anchor in the ocean of life.

Without it one is always just driftwood.

With meditation you are anchored.

You can stay centred

And you can choose your direction.

With meditation

You start becoming a master of yourself.

Without meditation

You are at the mercy of unconscious forces.

That's how millions of people go on living:

Victims of the winds. They don't know

Where they are going, why they are going

It is just that the wind

Is blowing in that direction.

Meditation is the most essential thing in life.

It is food, nourishment for the soul.

Without it man is without a soul.

Devote your energies more and more

Towards getting deeper into meditation.

And by meditation I simply mean awareness.

A three-dimensional awareness is needed

First, you have to be aware of your actions

Second, you have to be aware of your thoughts

Third, you have to be aware

Of your Emotions, feelings.

Once you become aware of these three dimensions

The fourth awareness happens on its own.

Once these three awarenesses are there

You become aware of your being

You need not make any effort for that.

You just prepare the ground

By being aware of these three things

And the fourth comes as a gift from god.

The Meditation of the Day!

Meditation du Jour

If this is the last time…

Osho

The remembrance that each time we meet someone, and say goodbye, it may be for the last time enables us to be more present to our friends, and less taking them, or our connection with them for granted. This in turn brings a certain completeness to each relationship.
Then, if that person should die before we see them again – or if, indeed, we are dying without having the chance to reconnect with all our friends – there need not be the pain of regret and the sense of ‘unfinished business’.
Osho explains this method: “Always remember that whenever you are with a person this may be the last time. Don't waste it on trivia; don't create small troubles and conflicts that don't matter. When death is coming, nothing else matters. Somebody does something, says something, and you get angry. Just think of death... just think of this man dying or you dying, and of what significance what he has said will be. And he may not have meant it that way at all; it may just be your interpretation. Out of a hundred cases, ninety-nine percent are one's own interpretation.
“And remember, whenever you are with a person he is not the old person at all, because everything goes on changing. You cannot step twice in the same river, and you cannot meet the same person twice. You will go and you will see your mother and father, brothers, sisters, friends, but they must have changed. Nothing remains the same. You have changed, you are not going to be the same, and you will not find them the same. If these two things are remembered, love flowers between them.
“Always meet a person as if this is the first time that you are meeting. And always meet a person as if this is the last time you will be meeting. This is how it is. Then this small moment of meeting can become a tremendous fulfilment”.
