another was of looking at life, at people, at existence -- and that is by putting the mind aside. I call it meditation when you put the mind aside and you look without any interference from your thoughts. You simply look like a mirror, you simply reflect, with no desire to impose any idea, with no prejudice, no concept, with no philosophy, no religion. You come to know that which is. And after that whatsoever you do is just, it cannot be unjust.
[Osho speaks on love as the path to god because it is the heart that has a direct line to that experience. But we live in the head... ]
... And because we live in the head we have lost contact with god. And we never think that we have lost contact, on the contrary, we start thinking that there seems to be no god.
It is like a man sitting with closed eyes and thinking there is darkness, there is no light. Rather than thinking "I may be sitting with closed eyes," he is ready to deny the sun, the light, rather than trying to open his eyes.
God cannot be proved by any argumentation because it is not a question of logic, god can be known only through love. It is an experience of union, union with the whole. And the only way to be united with the whole is love.
My sannyasins have to live love. They need not bother about churches and temples and mosques and they need not bother about great philosophical and theological treatises, all kinds of esoteric nonsense, occult stupidities. They have to be very simple, in a single word "lovers", lovers of all that is. And then god is not far away.
[Anand Sargam means the seven notes of music.]
Indian music believes is seven notes: sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, nee, sa. This contains the whole spectrum of Indian music. This is just like the seven colors of the sunrays; when a sunray passes through a prism it becomes divided into seven colors. The sunray is white. It is really a miracle to see it becoming a rainbow. And if you mix those seven colors together again, it becomes white. White contains all the colors.
The same is the case with music. Silence contains all the seven notes; the moment you express it, it becomes seven notes. Silence
