Walking in Sleep

We are so asleep, that we are really living our life in a sleep and in turn we call it, we are doing the entire worldly things to protect our interest. And what is this interest, is nothing but our ego, that I built a house, I raise the kids, I live my life without any single mark.

But even when we take the things in material world wise, still it doesn’t make sense. We know for sure one earthquake or any natural disaster comes, the house I built will get destroyed, the kids I raised, will go on their life after they get matured, but still we want to keep clinging to them and keep them under arms like I can protect from all problems of world. And in by doing this we hurt ourselves, we hurts our loved ones and even those we didn’t even know. And losing our sleeps for things that is not in our control, and the funny part we know very well, we read all these kind of philosophical quotes about that, through out our lives, but never pay attention to follow any of them. These philosophical quotes are not given by any enlightened persons; these are given by scholars and so called by our leaders only.

But the irony is we don’t follow them, even a pinch of it and live in misery and hope for someday god will do miracle and take away all our misery from us. All the time we are afraid of someone is cheating us (not doubt there are persons whose aim is to the cheat only), but is it good to live in fear that whosoever comes in our life, is come to cheat us and we should protect our interest in all cost. Another funny part who want to cheat us, he/she will project that they are not cheater and finally cheat you, but due to that fear, we are not able to identify who is cheater or not, and finally or I will say always fall in hands to cheater.

And again due that fear in our mind, even someone does not want to cheat, but circumstances projected that he/she betrayed us; we tag that person as cheater and start the cycle again whosoever comes in our lives, is come to cheat us. Rather than looking for the circumstances and accepting the circumstances we just want to tag back to our fears (again this fear is nothing but our ego itself) and start protecting our interest( again our ego). It is such a vicious cycle we protect ego with ego but with different worldly names (“fear” is protected by “our interest”).

I think we should start praying to this ego, as this is having such a hold on humans, that it should be worshipped, so that it can protect us from itself.

Osho enlightened sannyasins still looking to get certificate from osho

I am reading about OSHO and listening OSHO constantly since last two months (without missing a single second, like I am reading, eating, breathing, sleeping, dreaming, drinking Osho all the time). And earlier I read all the books available at India railways station back in 1992-1995. After 15 years, now back to Osho teaching and no doubt, due to technology so vast information is available as compare to 92-95 times.

But after going through almost all the website, video interviews, forums etc. I am kind of disappointed with the current followers and sannyasins view about taking Osho momentum to next stage. Everyone is following OSHO words as it is , like they are again treating Osho discourses as "bible".

And specially Osho mentioned he not giving any commandments, he want everyone to experience themselves, instead of accepting his words as it is.

There is no doubt , there is role of master, but master can only show the door , his role finished after that, one has to walk own his own to that door and experience themselves.

Even in Osho discourses , he refer to old text, but try to give his meaning out of these text, and not only he , every one who try to explain to this human society, has to refer to old text, as it is embedded in our mind since birth, so in order to communicate with this society, you have use old text and give your meaning as per new world situations.

But everywhere, all the magazines, interviews, discourses have the back reference to OSHO writings/teachings, like everyone looking to get a certificate from Osho still, that whatever teaching , experience they are passing/sharing to you, is mentioned in Osho discourse also.

I can understand, as a normal person (not enlightened), one has tendency to prove themselves (another function of mind), that is why they are referencing back to Osho teaching, but what about those who claim enlightened (state of no-mind), they still need to get a certificate from Osho.
