to be brought in from the outside, it is already there. There are just a few obstructions which we have to unlearn. Once that happens love becomes a golden light. Then your name will become a reality to you.
It is a light that not only lights your path, but can light many other people's path. And it is a light by which one becomes aware of God's presence. We are living in darkness; hence we can't see God. We have eyes and God is present but the light which can become the bridge is missing. And love is the only light. It is love that becomes a prayer, it is love that one day becomes the realization, the ultimate realization of God! And certainly when love explodes.... Kabir says, "it is as if a thousand and one suns have arisen suddenly in your being." There is so much light and it is golden. But the alchemy is through love, the transformation is through love.
I teach meditation only as a help towards love, as a means -- love is the goal.
Would you like to say something to me?
ZAREEN: YOU SAY TO BE IN THE WORLD AND NOT OF THE WORLD. THAT'S MY BIGGEST PROBLEM, BECAUSE I AM IN THE WORLD.
Now you will be able to be there and yet not there. From this moment I will reside in you. In fact I entered long ago. I am a thief!
You will soon be able to be in the world and not of the world, and that is that is the real art of sannyas. Yes, there will be problems and challenges, but each problem can be transformed into an opportunity for growth, and each challenge brings a new sharpness to your intelligence. Yes, sometimes one feels very shaken, scared, afraid that one may fall, afraid that one may not be able to cope with the reality of the ugly world. But my experience is: as your love grows, as meditation grows, as your understanding grows, all those problems become very small, very tiny. You will see it happen soon.
And finally you are to end up with me here in my commune. That day is not far away.
OSHO (TO SHIGERU): Anything that brings bliss to you is a nourishment to the soul. And it is not only that people's bodies are starving, their souls are starving far more.
So from this moment be alert: choose bliss as
