Thank you beloved Osho. Your words, your wisdom, your joy, your love, your eyes, and your spirit are with me always. ~ Sevaji

“Your glimpse of first enlightenment — in Japan they call it satori — is strong. It may be fragile, it may be new. It will be difficult to protect it, but it has a strength of its own. If you support it totally, it is going to take over your whole being. Satori is going to become samadhi. Satori is the first glimpse of samadhi, and samadhi is when your whole being is afire. You don’t have to remember, you are it. But this is possible only if you cultivate it in all your day-to-day affairs.” ~ Osho
How beautiful Sevaji ~~~ Your love for the enlighten one flowing from the heart consciousness ~
Osho spoke often of the nature of samadhi which is from Zen Buddhism in Japan .. and originally Buddha’s early roots in India ~ In India the word Samadhi first appeared …showing up for the first time in the Hindu scriptures in the Maitrayni Upanishad ~ Samadhi also part of some of the yogic practice and Upanishadic literature~
I love how satori and samadhi ia an example of how inter-related Buddhism is to Hindu scriptures ~
Here is another Osho quote to share ~
“It is just like clouds: clouds move. They can be so thick that you cannot see the sky hidden behind. The vast blueness of the sky is lost, you are covered with clouds. Then you go on watching: one cloud moves and another has not come into the vision yet — and suddenly a peek into the blueness of the vast sky. The same happens inside: you are the vast blueness of the sky, and thoughts are just like clouds hovering around you, filling you. But the gaps exist, the sky exists. To have a glimpse of the sky is Satori, and to become the sky is Samadhi.”
“…the first satori is the beginning; it triggers many satoris in you, culminating ultimately into Samadhi, into Nirvana.” Osho ~
