State

Q: What is the state you are in?

According to Osho, he abides in a paradoxical totality: simultaneously totally present and totally absent. Presence as pure awareness; absence of the mind, ego, and person. In this silence, meeting and communion become possible. He invites you to the same state, warning that the restless mind diverts you from the waters; let presence–absence become your whole life.

Q: Why has the state not disappeared after seventy years?

According to Osho, the state has not disappeared because the world is still not communist; as long as capitalism persists anywhere, the state and dictatorship remain. More crucially, Marx ignored human psychology: personal egos, national rivalries, and the corrupting grip of interim rulers on power. Those in power don’t relinquish it, so classlessness, borderless unity, and the withering away of the state never arrive.
