Real health

You may have everything that the world can offer, but if you don't have peace, serenity, silence, ecstasy, you will still remain poor...

Real health has to happen somewhere inside you, in your subjectivity, in your consciousness, because consciousness knows no birth, no death, it is eternal. And to be healthy in consciousness means: first, to be awake; second, to be harmonious; third, to be ecstatic; and fourth, to be compassionate. If these four things are fulfilled, one is inwardly healthy. ...The four are the four pillars of inner health... Health is the feeling of well-being, a certain at-onement with existence.

Osho: From meditation to meditation

Living Bible

"A friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart."


I received this from a friend by email, and I found it really touching. I'd like to share it with you and hope also you like it as I do:

His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college.

He is brilliant. Kind of profound and very, very bright. He became a Christian while attending college.

Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. They want to develop a ministry to the students but are not sure how to go about it.

One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and so Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat.

The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now, people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything.

Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit, and when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet.

By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is thick.

About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back of the church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill.

Now the deacon is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going to do.

How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand some college kid on the floor?

It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy.

The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane. All eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone breathing. The minister can't even preach the sermon until the deacon does what he has to do.

And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty, he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and worships with him so he won't be alone.

Everyone chokes up with emotion.
When the minister gains control, he says,'What I'm about to preach, you will never remember. What you have just seen, you will never forget'

'Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some people will ever read!'

Meditation & medicine

The word "meditation" and the word "medicine" come from the same root. Medicine means that which heals the physical, and meditation means that which heals the spiritual. Both are healing powers... Meditation heals, makes you whole, and to be whole is to be holy. Holiness has nothing to do with belonging any religion, belonging to any church. It simply means that inside you, you are entire, complete, nothing is missing, you are fulfilled. You are what existence wanted you to be, you have realized your potential... Relihion is a journey inwoards, and meditation is the way. What meditation actually does is, it takes you, your consciousness, as deep as possible.

Osho: From meditation to meditation

Osho: From meditation to meditation

Transfrom small things into celebration...Everything that you do should be expressive of you, it should have your signature on it, then life becomes a continuous celebration.

Make everything creative, make the best out of the worst that's what I call "the art". And if a man have lived his whole life making every moment and every phrase of it a beauty, a love, a joy, naturally his death is going to be the ultimate peak of his whole life's endeavor.

Start with meditation, and things will go on growing in your silence, serenity, blissfulness, sensitivity. And whatever comes out of meditation, try to bring it out in life, share it, because everything shared grows fast.

Osho on meditation

Dear friends, I am now re-reading the wonderful book of Osho: From Meditation to Meditation. Everytime I read it, I am amazed at the profound insight of Osho about meditation. I'd like to share with you what I love from this book, and try to post one piece a day. Hope some of you will find it helpful:

To me, the first principle of life is meditation. Everything else comes second... Meditation is simply a strange surgical method which cuts you away from all that is not yours and saves only that which is your authentic being. It burns everything else and leaves you standing naked, alone under the Sun, in the wind. It is as if you are the first man who has descended onto earth who knows nothing, who has to discover everything, who has to be a seeker, who has to go on a prilgrimage. The second principle is the prilgrimage. Life must be a seeking, not a desire, but a search; not an ambition to become this, to become that...but a search to find out "who am I?" It is very strange that people who don't know who they are, are trying to become somebody. They don't even know who they are right now! They are unacquainted with their being but they have a goal of becoming. Becoming is the disease of the soul. Being is you, and to discover your being is the beginning of life. Then each moment is a new discovery, each moment brings you a new joy, a new mystery opens its doors, a new love starts growing in you, a new compassion that you have never felt before, a new sensitivity about beauty, about goodness.
