step more... and nature can become the stepping stone.
If a person works with mechanical things, by and by he is reduced to a mechanism himself, because it is very difficult to remain aloof from your work -- you become more and more identified with it. A person continuously working with a machine is keeping very bad company.
Machines are not going to become men, but the man is bound to become a machine. When you are with nature, it is better. Something more is possible.
And you have to work for me -- brazil needs me. Much response is there... just a little groundwork, mm?
[To a seeker taking sannyas, Osho says:]
... forget the old name completely, mm? Drop it from the consciousness as if it never belonged to you. Be completely new from this moment... just a blank paper, so I can write something on it. I can make you a beautiful scripture, but the old writing has to be washed away.
And it is very simple -- just a decision is enough. Once you decide consciously, 'I drop the past,' it drops. Not that you have to do anything else -- just an intense desire to drop it is enough, and then you become available for the future, for the present.
Deva rajen. It means divine king. And that's how I look at everybody. Everybody is god-incarnate... maybe incognito, maybe hiding, maybe not saying so to everybody, maybe himself having forgotten -- but that's how everybody is: a divine king. That is the meaning of jesus when he goes on saying, 'The kingdom of god is within you.'
So I declare you a divine king. Now it is up to you to remember it or to forget it. If you remember, soon it will become very very natural, because it is your nature; you just have to claim it.
