know the of real life is to know god because there is no god other th an life.
Where the traditional religions have always regarded gold as being just dirt, Osho sees dust as being simply divine, because everything is a form or a facet of god, he told us.
I am not in search of another world, something that is beyond death; my effort is to transform this moment now and here into paradise. I am not for postponement. All those people who have been saying "If you are virtuous after death you will be rewarded," are being deceptive because who knows what happens after death? Nobody comes back to tell us. These people who are telling us have not known anything. They are just repeating like parrots.
I say to my sannyasins never postpone -- postponement is a very subtle trick of the mind. Live the moment in its totality. Always remember this is the only moment yon have got, there is no other moment, there is no other world. This world is god, there is no other god.
Once this vision settles in you it transforms your whole life. Then small things are so beautiful Then the mundane is sacred, then the ordinary is suddenly extraordinary.
[East is East and West is West, but the twain can meet. That's what his work is about, Osho concluded tonight.]
Dhyan Prachi: Meditation of the East.
The West has evolved great science but it has lost track of its own inner subjectivity; it has become too focussed on the objective world.
Science means being concerned with the object. Religion means being concerned with the subject, subjectivity. The East has developed great methodologies to bring a dawn into your inner world. It is not accidental that in the East we have chosen all kinds of shades of the color red for sannyas -- because when the sun is rising the whole of the east becomes red, and all kinds of shades of red. Clouds become red, it is red all over -- that is the beginning of the morning. The color red represents the beginning of an inner revolution. And the way we can help the inner sun rise is meditation.
The West has lived a very unconscious life, so much so that it has started denying that there is any inner world,
