Where is God?

Where is God ? Osho states what Kabir says about God in his book Ecstasy:  The Language of Existence . Kabir says don't seek God anywhere else; he is just beside you. Don't look for him faraway. That will be the way - sure way - to miss him. He is very close by. In fact to say he is close is not right,  because closeness also shows distance. He is just within you - he is you! You have never departed from him, you cannot depart from him; he is your nature. Right this movement he is inside you. There are two possibilities. Either you are an iceberg,  frozen, floating in the ocean, feeling that you are separate; or you can melt and become one with the ocean. That's all. When you think you are, you become frozen, blocked, you energy stops moving - you demark yourself, you create a definition for yourself. That very definition becomes your barrier. O friend,  where dost thou seek me? Lo!  I am beside thee. I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am nether in Kaaba

When God breathes out

You can have both life and God Osho says if you go to the so called mahatmas (anybody who call themselves mahatmas and nothing to do with the father of nation) they create antagonism (hatred, hostility) towards life and they make you life-negative. They (may) teach you life is negative and is evil. They make you feel as if god and life are contraries (opposite in nature or character), you cannot have both. Kabir says you can have both because life and god are not enemies. Life is God manifest and God is life unmanifest. When God is not visible he is God and when he becomes visible,  he becomes invisible. It is like breathing like you breathe out and breathe in. The old Indian scriptures say the the existence is when God breathes out and when God breathes in, there is nonexistance. The whole of existence disappears when he breathes in and the existence appears when he breathes out. It is one breath going in and out. When God breathes out,  you are born and when God breath

We always desire to be special

While describing about Kabir, Osho says that to be ordinary in the world is the most extraordinary thing. The natural Desire of the human mind is to become special, to become special in the ways of the world, to have many degrees, to have much political power, to have money, to have wealth, to be special. You become a great Mahatma, a great Sage, a great scholar, a man of knowledge, a man of renunciation; again you are special. Unless the desire to be special disappears, you will never be special. Unless you relax into your ordinariness, you will never relax. The real spiritual person  is the one who is absolutely ordinary. Kabir is very normal. You would not have been able to find the him in the crowd. His speciality is not outword. You cannot just find him by looking at his face. It is difficult. Buddha was special, a very beautiful man, A charismatic personality. Well,  that was about Kabir as said by Osho. Isn't it true that we always desire to be special? Is it p

Your anger your loss

After a late movie show, I went to a fuel station to fill petrol to my motorcycle. I asked the staff to fill fuel for Rs. 120; instead, he filled it for Rs. 110. I guess he was in a hurry. When I asked him why he did not fill the fuel as I told, he said he did not hear it properly. I knew that it was not intentional. During the conversation, the supervisor, who was also in a hurry, interrupted and told me to ignore and pay up Rs. 110. He conversed with me in a slightly raised voice and in an unfriendly manner. He even said they had no time for such conversation and they were late and wanted to close the shop now. I was in no hurry and kept my cool. I did not even show a pinch of anger but wanted to check the supervisors limit. I said, “Why are you getting angry?” Supervisor : Who is getting angry? We have no time now “If you have no time, please go home. Somebody will take care of the work” Supervisor : There is no somebody. Please leave. “Why should I leave, I was talki
