authentic awakening.
SEPPO WAS SAYING GOOD-BYE TO TOZAN WHO ASKED HIM, "WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO?"
SEPPO ANSWERED, "I AM GOING BACK TO REICHU."
"AT THAT TIME, WHAT ROAD DID YOU COME BY?" ASKED TOZAN.
"BY HIENREI," ANSWERED SEPPO.
"AND BY WHAT ROAD ARE YOU GOING BACK?" ASKED TOZAN.
"THE SAME ROAD," SEPPO ANSWERED.
"DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THE ONE WHO NEVER LEAVES IS HIENREI, THE ROAD?"
People come and go, the road remains.
Tozan is reminding Seppo, "Don't be a coming and going, but be a remaining. There is nowhere to go, you are already there. Just realize it."
SEPPO SAID, "I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE THAT REMAINS."
"WHY NOT?" ASKED TOZAN.
"BECAUSE THE ONE HAS NO PERSONALITY," ANSWERED SEPPO.
TOZAN SAID, "YOU SAY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT ONE. IF SO, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE ONE HAS NO PERSONALITY?"
These dialogues are so totally different from the dialogues of Socrates and Plato. Beautiful dialogues, very rational, but these dialogues are simply of another world, of another consciousness.
Tozan is a great master, an old master. Although Seppo has understood, is enlightened -- but just to be enlightened is not enough. There are many dimensions to enlightenment. Tozan is trying to get Seppo to enter into another dimension. He knows isness, he knows thisness but he is not aware.
That awareness has no personality. Still it is, it has no limits to it. Isness is oceanic, it has no boundaries.
It is so beautiful just to hear enlightened people tricking each other into new dimensions of being.
Question 1
Maneesha has asked:
BELOVED OSHO,
IS IT REALLY THIS EASY?
Maneesha, easy is not the word because it brings the idea of difficulty. However easy, it is still difficult. However close, it is still far. Your being is neither difficult nor easy, it simply is. It is not your achievement, you are it.
Question 2
Maneesha has asked another question:
GANTO SEEMS TO BE SAYING THAT SEPPO BECAME ENLIGHTENED, CAME TO LIFE IN THE SAME WAY THAT HE DID. IS IT TRUE THAT THE REALIZATION OF ENLIGHTENMENT IS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE?
