them that you have to go away... cry. But tell them that you are helpless -- you have to go. The challenge has called you, and you have to go. One cries on leaving the home. One goes on looking back again and again, with wistful eyes, nostalgia. The days that have passed were beautiful. But what to do?
If you cling to the home you will remain crippled. You will remain juvenile. You will never become a man in your own right. So what I say to you is to go away with respect. Whenever they need, serve them, be available. But never misunderstand that your mother is your beloved; she is your mother.
Nibbana is Buddha's word for nirvana. It means enlightenment.
Buddha never used Sanskrit. He used a local language that was used in his part of the country. All the words become soft in it -- nirvana is called nibbana. And prem means love.
Dhamma means the ultimate law, and prem means love -- love, the ultimate law. Dhamma is also Buddha's word like nibbana. The sanskrit word is dharma. This form, Buddha's, is more soft and loving.
[A sannyasin says: Everything is in trouble, Osho.
I'm going back and forth in wanting to be here and in wanting to leave. In the meditations especially the ones into which I have to put effort, there is a constant struggle in the mind. The mind's always going on and on. It's like: Go on... I want to stop... Go on ! ... ]
I think a few groups will be tremendously helpful.
Nothing to worry about... it comes to everybody. This moment comes to everybody. In fact when something is going to happen, the mind will create all sorts of trouble. If nothing is going to happen, the mind will not create any trouble. So it is an indication that the mind is becoming alert that something is going to happen, and you are never going to be the same again. So the mind feels apprehensive.
But each mind functions in the same way... it has a very mechanical way of functioning. Whenever it becomes a little alert that something is going to happen -- that you are on the brink and if you go a little closer towards the precipice you will never be able to come back, and that the same mind will not be able to control
