Osho: my beloved spiritual
master, previously known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, was born on 11 December
1931 (9.10.3) with Sun in
Sagittarius, Moon in Capricorn and Ascendant in Gemini, and Moon conjunct Saturn.
This was indeed for me
one of the greatest man I can think and feel of. I am most honoured to have had the chance of operating as his press agent in Italy during the last two years of his life.
Since his childhood he emerged
as a most rebellious and free spirit, stressing the importance of searching for
truth through direct experience rather than borrowing it from consensus reality
or others.
“Experience life in all possible ways” he says “- good-bad,
bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don’t be
afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you
become."
Throughout all his life Osho
focused on developing tools for human expansion of awareness and for bridging
the zone between ordinary and multidimensional reality.
He read copiously to broaden his
understanding of human belief systems and in his countless speeches dealt with
every aspect of life. His talks have been published in more than 600 volumes
and translated in over 30 languages.
”My message is not a doctrine,” he says
“not a philosophy. My message is a certain alchemy, a science of
transformation, so only those who are willing to die as they are and be born
again into something so new that they cannot even imagine it right now... only
those few courageous people will be ready to listen, because listening is going
to be risky. Listening, you have taken the first step towards being reborn. So
it is not a philosophy that you can just make an overcoat of and go bragging about.
It is not a doctrine where you can find consolation for harassing questions.
No, my message is not some verbal communication. It is far more risky. It is
nothing less than death and rebirth.”
Osho also employed a large
variety of jokes, funny stories and controversial statements to sneak through consensus reality.
“Seriousness is a sickness; your sense of humor makes you more human, more
humble. The sense of humor - according to me - is one of the most essential
parts of religiousness.”
Laughter played a major role in his work (http://www.osho.com/Topics/TopicsEng/MysticRose.htm)
as well as cathartic and release. It is through Osho that I deepened my
awareness of the power of the second stage.
The transcription on his
Samadhi reads: Osho Never Born - Never
Died. Only visited this planet earth between December 11, 1931 - January
19, 1990 . Osho is no longer is a HAC body to shed light on the
mysteries surrounding his life.
Please find
below some quotes:
Ecstasy is our very nature; not to be ecstatic is simply
unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be
ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look to tired,
because misery is really hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because
you are doing something against nature.
Remain in wonder if you want the mysteries to open up for you.
Mysteries never open up for those who go on questioning. Questioners sooner or
later end up in a library. Questioners sooner or later end up with scriptures,
because scriptures are full of answers. And answers are dangerous, they kill
your wonder.
The perfectionist is bound to be a neurotic, he cannot enjoy life,
until he is perfect. And perfection as such never happens, it is not in the
nature of things. Totality is possible, perfection is not possible.
The heart is always right - if there's a question of choosing
between the mind and the heart - because mind is a creation of the society. It
has been educated. You have been given it by the society, not by existence. The
heart is unpolluted.
I have seen lovers promising each other that they will love each
other forever and forever. And not knowing anything about the next moment! If
they are a little alert, they will say: “It feels in this moment, it is a truth
of this moment....”That is why lovers always prove to be deceivers to each
other. In the end they think they have been cheated. They have both promised
things which they cannot deliver.
