I came across these Osho quotes on his insight and light on Zen and life ~ If I may share them here for further meditation ~
“Zen is all-inclusive. It never denies, it never says no to anything; it accepts everything and transforms it into a higher reality.”
“The whole effort of a Jesus or a Buddha or a Bodhidharma is nothing but how to undo that which society has done to you.”
“The modern mind has lost all capacity to wonder. It has lost all capacity to look into the mysterious, into the miraculous – because of knowledge, because it thinks it knows.”
“For Zen, man is the goal; man is the end unto himself. God is not something above humanity, God is something hidden within humanity. Man is carrying God in himself as a potentiality.”
“The witnessing soul is like the sky. The birds fly in the sky but they don’t leave any footprints. That’s what Buddha says, that the man who is awakened lives in such a way that he leaves no footprints. He is without wounds and without scars; he never looks back — there is no point. He has lived that moment so totally that what is the need to look back again and again? He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.”
Osho ~
Osho’s words bring one in direct contact with divinity by revealing the mystery within one’s own being.
Truly inspirational quotes from Osho – As Seva shares above, “revealing the mystery within” – and bringing a reflection of life, compassion, love and joy into this world that so desperately needs such things ~ THANK U CORALINNI!!
To see the light within carried from spirit to spirit, Yannaki, is joyful ~
Thank you Johannes/Sevaji ~
As Osho and Sevaji have enlighten my world – another Osho quote to share .. this one about the master to disciple ~ A blessing ~
“This real birth I have called sannyas. One birth is from the mother and the father; another birth is that which happens between the disciple and the master. And the second birth opens all the doors and all the secrets to explore. Life becomes a continuous adventure, a moment to moment excitement, a day and night ecstasy. Neither life disappears into death nor day dies into the darkness of the night. Suddenly you become aware that day and night are two wings of the same bird, that life and death are two wings of the same bird. The whole sky of consciousness is yours. You don’t have to be a Christian, you don’t have to be a Hindu, you don’t have to be a Mohammedan. You only have to be a child. Master also gives a new birth, but it is the birth of consciousness, which knows only a beginning — and there is no end to it.”
I like it.
