BELOVED OSHO,
THE SUTRAS SAY, "NOT TO LET GO OF WISDOM IS STUPIDITY." WHEN
THE MIND DOESN'T EXIST, UNDERSTANDING AND NOT
UNDERSTANDING ARE BOTH TRUE. WHEN THE MIND EXISTS,
UNDERSTANDING AND NOT UNDERSTANDING ARE BOTH FALSE.
WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND, REALITY DEPENDS ON YOU. WHEN YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND, YOU DEPEND ON REALITY.
WHEN REALITY DEPENDS ON YOU, THAT WHICH ISN'T REAL BECOMES
REAL. WHEN YOU DEPEND ON REALITY, THAT WHICH IS REAL
BECOMES FALSE. WHEN YOU DEPEND ON REALITY, EVERYTHING IS
FALSE. WHEN REALITY DEPENDS ON YOU, EVERYTHING IS TRUE ....
THUS, THE SAGE DOESN'T USE HIS MIND TO LOOK FOR REALITY, OR
REALITY TO LOOK FOR HIS MIND, OR HIS MIND TO LOOK FOR HIS MIND,
OR REALITY TO LOOK FOR REALITY. HIS MIND DOESN'T GIVE RISE TO
REALITY. AND REALITY DOESN'T GIVE RISE TO HIS MIND. AND BECAUSE
BOTH HIS MIND AND REALITY ARE STILL, HE'S ALWAYS IN SAMADHI.
...THE SUTRAS SAY, "NOTHING HAS A NATURE OF ITS OWN." ACT. DON'T
QUESTION. WHEN YOU QUESTION, YOU'RE WRONG. WHEN YOU'RE
DELUDED, THE SIX SENSES AND FIVE SHADES ARE CONSTRUCTS OF
SUFFERING AND MORTALITY. WHEN YOU WAKE UP, THE SIX SENSES
AND FIVE SHADES ARE CONSTRUCTS OF NIRVANA AND IMMORTALITY.
SOMEONE WHO SEEKS THE WAY DOESN'T LOOK BEYOND HIMSELF. HE
KNOWS THAT THE MIND IS THE WAY. BUT WHEN HE FINDS THE MIND,
HE FINDS NOTHING. AND WHEN HE FINDS THE WAY, HE FINDS
NOTHING. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN USE THE MIND TO FIND THE WAY,
YOU'RE DELUDED. WHEN YOU'RE DELUDED, BUDDHAHOOD EXISTS.
WHEN YOU'RE AWARE, IT DOESN'T EXIST. BECAUSE AWARENESS IS
BUDDHAHOOD. ...DON'T HATE LIFE AND DEATH OR LOVE LIFE AND
DEATH. KEEP YOUR EVERY THOUGHT FREE OF DELUSION, AND IN LIFE
YOU'LL WITNESS THE BEGINNING OF NIRVANA, AND IN DEATH YOU'LL
EXPERIENCE THE ASSURANCE OF NO REBIRTH.
TO SEE FORM BUT NOT BE CORRUPTED BY FORM OR TO HEAR SOUND
BUT NOT BE CORRUPTED BY SOUND IS LIBERATION. EYES THAT AREN'T
ATTACHED TO FORM ARE THE GATES OF ZEN. EARS THAT AREN'T
ATTACHED TO SOUND ARE ALSO THE GATES OF ZEN. IN SHORT, THOSE
WHO PERCEIVE THE EXISTENCE OF PHENOMENA AND REMAIN
UNATTACHED ARE LIBERATED ....
WHEN DELUSIONS ARE ABSENT, THE MIND IS THE LAND OF BUDDHAS.
WHEN DELUSIONS ARE PRESENT, THE MIND IS HELL.
