what is happening is perfectly good -- and it is happening; you are not doing. Doing is always suspicious; happening is never suspicious. So whenever something is happening, go with it -- go with it totally, with no reservations at all, and you will always be getting into deeper benediction, into deeper blessings.

Question 3

BELOVED OSHO,

I LOVED IT WHEN ONCE YOU SAID, "WHEN I STARTED I WAS IN A MAJORITY OF ONE."

DOES TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAIL?

Even today I am in the majority of one. I will die in the majority of one!

Truth is not something that can become collective; it remains individual. The collective masses are not without reason so much afraid of a man of truth, because truth can never become collective; only lies can become collective. Even a single man of truth is enough to put fire to the whole forest of lies, because even thousands of lies cannot face a single statement of truth.

Lies don't have any life; they are dead. They are just a burden -- they don't give you any freedom, they don't give you any joy; they simply burden you so much that you lose all hope of ever becoming a free individual and accept enslavement. And that is their function.

Every society, every religion, every civilization is lying and corrupting the minds of their children with all kinds of lies, and naturally, filled with these lies, the masses become very much afraid. Any truth is like fire; they cannot face it. Truth is always an individual discovery; it has always been, and so it will be in the future. It is one man's majority.

I called it "majority" because although it is one man's, he is not a minority. His truth is so powerful that the whole world may be on one side... even then his truth cannot be destroyed. The man can be destroyed -- society has tried to destroy many beautiful men simply to destroy their truth. Still they have not understood the fact that you can destroy the man but you cannot destroy the truth.

The truth will remain. Once it is discovered, it is not going to disappear. You can destroy the original discoverer; somebody else will become a vehicle. Truth will find a way in the thickest jungle
