BELOVED OSHO,
ANYONE WHO GIVES UP THE TRANSCENDENT FOR THE MUNDANE, IN
ANY OF ITS MYRIAD FORMS, IS A MORTAL. A BUDDHA IS SOMEONE
WHO FINDS FREEDOM IN GOOD FORTUNE AND BAD. SUCH IS HIS
POWER, KARMA CAN'T HOLD HIM. NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF
KARMA, A BUDDHA TRANSFORMS IT. HEAVEN AND HELL ARE
NOTHING TO HIM. ...IF YOU'RE NOT SURE, DON'T ACT. ONCE YOU
ACT, YOU WANDER THROUGH BIRTH AND DEATH AND REGRET
HAVING NO REFUGE ..... TO UNDERSTAND THIS MIND, YOU HAVE TO
ACT WITHOUT ACTING. ONLY THEN WILL YOU SEE THINGS FROM A
TATHAGATA'S PERSPECTIVE.
BUT WHEN YOU FIRST EMBARK ON THE PATH, YOUR AWARENESS
WON'T BE FOCUSED. YOU'RE LIKELY TO SEE ALL SORTS OF STRANGE,
DREAMLIKE SCENES. BUT YOU SHOULDN'T DOUBT THAT ALL SUCH
SCENES COME FROM YOUR OWN MIND AND NOWHERE ELSE.
IF YOU SEE A LIGHT BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN, YOUR REMAINING
ATTACHMENTS WILL SUDDENLY COME TO AN END, AND THE NATURE
OF REALITY WILL BE REVEALED. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE SERVES AS
THE BASIS FOR ENLIGHTENMENT. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING ONLY YOU
KNOW. YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN IT TO OTHERS. ...OR IF, WHILE YOU'RE
WALKING, STANDING, SITTING OR LYING IN THE STILLNESS AND
DARKNESS OF NIGHT, EVERYTHING APPEARS AS THOUGH IN
DAYLIGHT, DON'T BE STARTLED. IT'S YOUR OWN MIND ABOUT TO
REVEAL ITSELF. ...IF YOU SEE YOUR NATURE, YOU DON'T NEED TO
READ SUTRAS OR INVOKE BUDDHAS. ERUDITION AND KNOWLEDGE
ARE NOT ONLY USELESS, THEY CLOUD YOUR AWARENESS. DOCTRINES
ARE ONLY FOR POINTING TO THE MIND. ONCE YOU SEE YOUR MIND,
WHY PAY ATTENTION TO DOCTRINES?
TO GO FROM MORTAL TO BUDDHA, YOU HAVE TO PUT AN END TO
KARMA, NURTURE YOUR AWARENESS AND ACCEPT WHAT LIFE
BRINGS. ...ONCE MORTALS SEE THEIR NATURE, ALL ATTACHMENTS
END. AWARENESS ISN'T HIDDEN. BUT YOU CAN ONLY FIND IT RIGHT
NOW. IT'S ONLY NOW. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FIND THE WAY, DON'T
HOLD ONTO ANYTHING. ONCE YOU PUT AN END TO KARMA AND
NURTURE YOUR AWARENESS, ANY ATTACHMENTS THAT REMAIN WILL
COME TO AN END. UNDERSTANDING COMES NATURALLY. YOU DON'T
HAVE TO MAKE ANY EFFORT. BUT FANATICS DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE BUDDHA MEANT. AND THE HARDER THEY TRY, THE
FARTHER THEY GET FROM THE SAGE'S MEANING. ALL DAY LONG THEY
INVOKE BUDDHAS AND READ SUTRAS. BUT THEY REMAIN BLIND TO
THEIR OWN DIVINE NATURE, AND THEY DON'T ESCAPE THE WHEEL.
A BUDDHA IS AN IDLE PERSON. HE DOESN'T RUN AROUND AFTER
FORTUNE AND FAME. WHAT GOOD ARE SUCH THINGS IN THE END?
