existence then nothing is left.'
Because to know a flower, root and all, means to know the whole existence. The flower is rooted in existence. Its colour is coming from the sun. Its vitality is coming from the earth. It is breathing the air. It has a past -- millions of years... a whole heritage -- and it has a future. It has already thrown its seed around. It may be gone in this form, but it will be there in another form. It has been always there and it will be always there. It is spread all over existence because it is rooted. But to know even a small flower root and all, is not possible. Even to know a small stone, root and all, is not possible.
Knowledge is impossible. And this realisation -- that knowledge is impossible -- is a radical realisation. Then you turn towards religion. Then there is a conversion, a hundred degree turn. Then you move into another world -- the world of mysteries, the world of magic, the world of love and of the heart. The head tries to know, the heart tries to enjoy. Knowledge creates boredom -- enjoyment never! It is always new and always fresh.
I give you this name, agyana; it means profoundly ignorant. And keep this in mind. By and by forget the old name and get in tune with the new. You will see a tremendous change arising in you, very slowly. I started working on you from yesterday. I was waiting and I was hoping that you would be coming. You must have received my message. I was hoping you received it and you did. And I am happy!
Now change to orange, and next time you come for a little longer time. Much has to be done, agyana....
[Osho suggested to a sannyasin who is a black-belt karate teacher and who has just returned from japan, that he commence teaching in the ashram.... ]
Help people as much as you can. And by helping them, you will learn many things. The best way to learn is to teach. So really a teacher, a good teacher, remains a student his whole life, and a good teacher always feels very grateful to his students. The students learn -- that's okay -- but the teacher learns too. And each student brings something new -- a new door opens.
Particularly these arts -- like karate
