![]() ![]() ![]() The reason is that the feminine mind lacks ego. The feminine mind is more prone to be egoistic. Why through Eve? That has to be understood. If you also become wise like him then who will worship him? He wants you to remain ignorant so you remain dependent.' This is what the ego is doing. 'The god has prohibited because he does not want you to become knowledgeable he does not want you to become wise, as he is. In the christian parable, the snake convinced Eve that the tree of knowledge is worth tasting. It is a miracle - without legs it goes on moving. And snake moves without legs - and the ego also moves without legs. And snake is very slippery - and ego is very slippery. Snake is symbolic because snake is very cunning - ego is very cunning. In the christian parable of Adam and Eve and the snake, the snake is nobody else but the ego. What I am showing you is - the snake is not so dangerous as your ego. Then you can think as much as you want, but first you jump. The mind has no space to think, no time to waste. No, your mind simply stops when you see a snake on the path. just I will prepare and then I will jump.' ![]() You don't say, 'How can I jump right now? I see the snake, I see the danger, I see death standing in front of me, but how can I just immediately jump? It needs preparation, it needs rehearsal. When you come across a snake on the path, do you prepare to jump? You simply jump out of the way. One day I am going to drop the ego.' But why 'preparing', and why 'one day'? Why not today? If you have seen the fact, then what is the need? Preparation is a trick of deceiving others, and, more basically, yourself 'I am preparing. Don't befool anybody that you are preparing. If you are not yet prepared, then when will you be prepared? Enough is enough! Drop it right now!Įither you drop it right now or you don't drop it. When I am talking about dropping the ego, I am not saying prepare for it. Birth, youth, old age, death, birth again. Have you not lived long enough already? Have you not been here so many millions of times? You have been repeating like a circle, a wheel. If you prepare, then you will prepare for ever and ever. Drop it right now! Who is saying to you to prepare? I am simply saying look - this is the ego, and this is the block that is hindering the path. HOW CAN I CONSIDER THE IDEALISM OF PREPARING MYSELF FOR LOSING MY EGO BETTER THAN THE IDEALISM OF WHICH YOU SPOKE TODAY? Once you see it there, you see it everywhere. In a rock, in a tree, in a bird.īut for the first time you have to realize it within yourself, because that is the closest reality to you. Divinity is not something separate which happens or does not happen. Can you hear the birds singing? They are enlightened. Come out of your achieving mind and have a look. Once you accept that it has happened to somebody, the possibility opens for you also - that it can happen to you. The ego goes on denying.īut please be a little alert, because if you go on denying, saying that it has not happened to others, by and by you will become convinced that it cannot happen, it is impossible, and then you are closing doors for your own enlightenment also. If it has to happen, it must happen to you first. How can it happen to anyone else before it has happened to you? That will look unjust. It is natural when it has not happened to you. Just to be polite he has said that he will grant it to this man - but no one else. Even to concede that I have achieved, he must have struggled hard. So he looks around through that achieving mind - and of course, an achieving mind cannot believe that anybody else has achieved. ![]() The questioner must have a very deep-rooted desire for achievement, a very deep-rooted achieving mind. I UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF YOUR DISCIPLES HAVE YET ACHIEVED. Are you ready to stop the deception, the game that you are playing with yourself? Only that much should be your concern. Since the day I became enlightened, I have not seen anything which is not enlightened. maybe fast asleep, snoring, but they are also enlightened. Not only that my disciples are enlightened - life is enlightened. If they want to play the game a little more, it's perfectly okay. If they want to deceive themselves it is perfectly okay - that is their freedom. The whole world, I say, is enlightened the moment you are enlightened. Once you have seen your own enlightenment, the whole world is enlightened. Unless you have seen your own enlightenment, you cannot see. They are all buddhas, enlightened people deceiving themselves, playing tricks with themselves, in a hide-and-seek with themselves.īut it is difficult for you to see. Who has told you that none of my disciples have yet achieved? I cannot see a single person who has not achieved. OSHO, I UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF YOUR DISCIPLES HAVE YET ACHIEVED. ![]()
