LISTENING TO OSHO |
|
Question:
Answer: |
| My speaking
is really one of my devices for meditation. Speaking has never been used
this way. I speak not to give you a message, but to stop your mind functioning.
And it is not only here, but far away... anywhere in the world where people will be listening to the video or to the audio, they will come to the same silence. My success is not to convince you, my success is to give you a real taste so that you can become confident that meditation is not a fiction, that the state of no-mind is not just a philosophical idea, that it is a reality; that you are capable of it and that it does not need any special qualifications. As you listen to music, listen to me that way. Don't listen to me as you listen to a philosopher; listen to me as you listen to the birds. Listen to me as you listen to a waterfall. Listen to me as you listen to the wind blowing through the pines. Listen to me as you listen to the wind blowing through the pines. Listen to me, not through the discursive mind, but through the participant heart. And than something that you are continuously feeling is missing will not be missed. Put the mind aside. While listening to me, don't try to understand, just listen silently. Don't figure out
whether what I am saying is true or not true. Don't be bothered with
its truth or untruth. I am not asking you to believe in it so there
is no need to think about its truth or untruth. Listen to me just as
you listen to the birds singing or the wind passing through the pine
trees or the sound of running water. |
