Послания любви. 365 писем Ошо. Бхагаван Шри Раджниш (Ошо)Читать онлайн книгу.
you come with me?
It would be good if we traveled together for a few days.
38. Love.
I am glad to see such thirst for God!
To have this thirst is a divine blessing;
where there is thirst – there the way is.
In fact, intense longing becomes the way.
God is summoning us at every moment
but because the strings of our heart are slack
we don’t echo his call.
If our eyes are closed then even if the sun is at the door
we will be in darkness;
and the sun is always at the door –
we only have to open our eyes and let it in, that’s all!
May God give you light, that’s my wish.
My love and I are always with you.
Regards to the family and love to the children.
39. Love.
I have your letter.
The wheel of the world keeps spinning
but why spin with it?
See what is behind body and mind;
that has never moved,
is not moving,
can never move,
and thou art that, tat tvam asi.
Waves lie on the surface of this ocean
but in its depths – what is there?
When the waves are taken for the ocean
it is a terrible mistake.
Look at the wheel of a bullock cart:
the wheel turns because the axle does not;
so remember your own axle,
standing, sitting, asleep or awake,
keep it in mind.
By and by, one begins to encounter
the changeless behind all change.
You have asked me about the poem.
I had a little piece read out by someone,
then it came to me: I should hear it from you yourself!
Now when you read it out to me I shall listen –
and then I can read both you and your poem.
40. Love.
I received your letter on my return.
I welcome this birth of determination in you.
Such strength of will alone
takes us to truth.
Our deepest powers are aroused by it,
the unorganized energy becomes organized
and then there is music.
What tremendous energy exists in this atom of self!
But it can’t be known without utter intensity of will.
You must have seen rocks
that even the strongest chisel cannot break,
and yet the sprouting shrub or plant
slips cracks and crevices through it so easily!
When the tiniest seed is filled with determination
to push through and reach the sun,
even the hardest rock has to give way.
So a weak seed wins over the mighty rocks!
The tender seed breaks through the hardest of rocks!
Why? Because no matter
how strong and powerful the rock,
it is dead,
and because it is dead it has no will.
The seed is tender,
it is weak,
but alive!
Remember, where there is will there is life
and where there is no will there is no life.
The seed’s will becomes its power,
and with this power
its tiny roots sprout,
enter the rock and spread out,
until one day they break the rock.
Life always wins over death.
The living force within has never been defeated
by the dead obstacles without – and never will be.
41. Love.
Your letter was received with joy.
When the heart thirsts so much
for truth,
for peace,
for religion,
one day you come face to face with the sun
which dispels all life’s darkness.
Thirst!
Pray!
Strive!
Wait!
A journey of a thousand miles is covered
step by small step,
so don’t lose heart.
Vast distances can be covered one step at a time
and an ocean filled drop by drop.
My regards to all.
I shall be coming soon now.
The rest when we meet.
42. Love.
Your letter has arrived.
You ask me about sex.
That energy too belongs to God
and through meditation it too can be transformed.
No energy is bad but there can, of course,
be wrong use of energy.
When sex energy flows upwards
it turns into brahmacharya (godly behavior).
It is good that you are becoming detached from it
but that isn’t enough.
You have to go through it to transform it,
rejection just leaves you arid and dry!
It is true you are not alone in your sex life
but sex is not essentially of the body at all
but a modification of the mind.
If the mind is completely transformed
it affects the other person too,
and one who is related so intimately
is quickly affected.
Until we meet, keep in mind that:
there should be no calculated ill-will towards sex –
cultivated detachment is useless.
Stay aware whilst making love,
be a witness in this situation;
if one can stay
in a state of meditation and right-mindfulness
then the sex energy can be successfully transformed.
We shall talk more about this when we meet.
Brahmacharya is a complete science in itself
and many doors to bliss open on that path.
Still,
