any strength. Osho talks of the seeming durability of the rock, the seeming impotence of water.
Osho says: This is my whole approach, tao is my way. I help you to become vulnerable. Through being vulnerable, one is victorious. And with the dropping of the defence armour, one drops fear and then love has access to one's being. If you are trying to be strong, you can't be true. Man is delicate; that is the truth. We are just dewdrops slipping off a grass leaf. So accept and welcome this vulnerability. Nothing is more valuable than this. This is the most precious treasure you are coming across.]
[A sannyasin says: I came here more or less out of a mental institution. I was afraid of going in one again but I think I've come to myself.]
You have come... and now nobody can drive you mad. If you have not been mad here, no place! Now you can go anywhere and live anywhere and you will not be mad.
[Osho checks the energy of a sannyasin who has been running a centre in the west.]
Much is going to happen just allow it to happen. It is not really a question of doing, it is more a question of allowing. If you can simply allow it, unafraid, if you can be receptive, you will be transformed. Just don't resist.
There is a famous statement of Jesus: 'Resist not evil'... but people resist even the good. What to say about evil? -- that is out of the question. Even if God comes to you, you will resist. Sometimes it is easier to allow evil than it is to allow goodness because evil is below you, you remain higher than it. To allow the good is more dangerous. It is higher than you; you are drowned by it. God comes like a flood: one is utterly drowned. The problem is not that people don't seek God; the problem is that God seeks people but they escape. They hide in a thousand and one ways.
You have come at a very very significant moment of your life -- the energy is just on the threshold. If you can dare and open the door, something that you cannot imagine, cannot dream about is going to happen. If you remain cowardly and keep your doors closed, then you can go on doing a thousand and one things but nothing will happen.
For this one
