OSHO (TO TOSHO): One cannot achieve contentment directly; one can try but one is bound to fail. The more you try to be contented directly, the more discontented you will become because if something is a by-product there is no way to reach it directly; it has to be achieved in an indirect way.
Achieve love and contentment comes as a shadow. Become love and you will find contentment following you. You need not chase it -- it chases you.
(TO FOREST): The forest gives you a sense of primitiveness, of something very ancient. So it is with bliss. Yet paradoxically, the forest is every moment new, fresh, young. So is bliss: as old as possible, as new as possible, eternally new and eternally ancient.
And the forest is always humming -- the hum of the birds, the hum of the insects, the hum of the trees, the wind passing through the pines. The forest is always humming with joy, always singing -- so is bliss.
And paradoxically again, the forest has a silence in it, a silence that is not disturbed by all the singing that goes on there. On the contrary, the humming joy, the singing birds, the wind passing through the pines, all enhance the silence of the forest. They become the background, the contrast. So it is with bliss: it is humming, it is singing, it is celebration... and yet absolutely silent.
OSHO (TO JACOB): You've been chasing bliss for your whole life -- and there's the rub: bliss is a butterfly, a bird that can't be caught; you can only wait until one day you find that it has landed on your shoulder.
It happens only when you are in a state of no-desire, with not even the desire for bliss. That is one of the greatest dilemmas.
It is a natural desire to be blissful, it is instinctive. It is not only man who is seeking bliss, all beings are in search of it, but the problem is that the search, the very search, is a hindrance. It takes you away from the moment, and bliss can only be found here and now.
All seeking and searching takes you away from the present. It creates future. Future is not part of time, future is a projection of our desires. Only present exists; past is memory, future is desire. They are not part of time, they are part of mind.
Only the present is time, because only the present is real. There are people who are searching for money and there are people who are searching for God; they are not different people, not at all. They are the same kind of people, although down the ages they have been thought to be very different, almost opposite to each other. One is condemned as worldly and the other is praised as spiritual, but the truth is that both are of the same category.
It is not a question of what you are seeking; the object of your search makes no difference -- you are seeking, that is more important. You can seek God, you can seek money, you can seek power, you can seek bliss, but because you are seeking you will remain miserable. Modern man is seeking too desperately because money has been achieved. Now money is no longer a relevant goal and the mind feels empty. Now the mind is desperately looking for new objects.
Unless the mind finds new desires and new objects, it cannot exist. It exists through desiring, so it goes on creating new objects for you to desire and to rush and to run after. You are running after shadows; you will not find them. You are running after the horizon which exists nowhere; it only appears to. The distance between you and the horizon will always remain the same because it is just an illusion.
The future is an illusion like the horizon. You have been searching for bliss too seriously and that has made your whole life a long long anguish, anxiety, tension.
My message to you is: drop seeking. There is nothing to be sought, there is nothing worth desiring. Let the future disappear from your being and then it is there! Then you can call it bliss, you can call it love, you can call it truth, you can call it God, or nirvana or whatsoever you wish to call it.
I have felt it more and more with the people who come from Esalen: they are searching for bliss too seriously and getting into unnecessary trouble. Hearing, reading that bliss can be found here and now, they try to be here and now. Now that is absurd! You cannot try to be here and now -- trying is always then and there.
You cannot try and be here and now. It cannot be made a program: it is an understanding, a simple understanding, that there is nowhere to go. The Zen people say: Sitting silently, doing nothing, the spring comes and the grass grows by itself. That has to become your sutra.
You have done so many therapies, so many groups, and they are all efforts to find something, to change yourself, to become more integrated, more centered, more rooted, this and that -- just new names for old rubbish. This is the whole old spirituality taking on new names, new labels, because the old labels have become out of date; they are no more "in currency." So people don't talk about God -- it looks a little odd.
To talk about God looks embarrassing. People talk about being centered, rooted, integrated. This is the same old game. And the problem becomes more subtle and more complex, when intellectually you understand that, "Yes, bliss can be found only here and now, so now I will try to be here and now." You are putting legs on a snake. You will destroy the poor snake completely: the snake needs no legs.
To be here and now needs no effort: it is a simple understanding -- a nonintellectual, existential understanding. It does not need any great logical mind to grasp it, it is a very simple phenomenon. Looking at the futility of desire, one simply recoils from desiring. Not that one starts trying to be in the present: seeing the futility of desire, the desire disappears and suddenly you are in the present. It is a happening.
My suggestion for you is that something more like Vipassana or Zazen is going to help you. You have done enough of encounter and gestalt therapy -- enough is enough!
But this has been the problem with Esalen people: they come full of jargon, modern jargon, psychological, absolutely up to date. They don't talk about occultism and esoteric, theological things -- they bring fresh bullshit!
Up to now very few of them have really proved of much worth. The greater lot has proved to be very ordinary -- for the simple reason that they think they understand. The greatest barrier in understanding is to think that one understands. Sannyas means dropping all knowledge and becoming a child again.
And the second word, "jacob," means: may God protect you. Don't seek bliss, don't be seriously after it -- I am afraid you may be still seriously after it, that's why "jacob" is good: may God protect you! Only God can protect Esalen people -- there is no other hope!
OSHO (TO GAYLE): Without love one simply drags oneself -- SOMEhow. Life is a burden -- how can you dance? Without love there is nothing worthwhile -- how can you dance? For what? -- there is nothing to feel joyous about and nothing to feel grateful for. If you try to dance your dance will be false and phony and it will simply tire you. It will not nourish you, it will not rejuvenate you.
Love is the source of all rejuvenation, the source of nourishment. Just as the body needs food, the soul needs love. One can dance without love but then it will be only technical because the soul will be missing in it; only the body will be going through empty gestures. One can smile without there being any smile in the heart but then that smile will be painted, just on the lips, an exercise of the lips -- good as an exercise but with no value, with no depth, with no roots in one's being.
Learn the secret of love and you will know all the secrets of life. And the secret is simple: drop the ego and love starts overflooding you. Get rid of the ego, the idea of "I," and suddenly you are an ocean of love; the doors have been opened. And the moment you feel yourself like an ocean of love, what else can you do than be joyous, celebrating, singing, dancing? When life becomes a dance it is spiritual. When life becomes a dance you have known God because it is God who dances in you. But you have to prepare the way for him. Love is the path and the ego is the hindrance. Remove the ego.
The whole work that is going on here is to help you to remove the ego, to help you to see the obstruction that the ego creates. Once you have seen it -- and it is a simple insight, it is nothing very complicated, complex, a simple insight -- once you have seen it it is so easy to drop it because it is an ugly thing to carry, an unnecessary load, an absolutely pathological baggage. It is neurosis, it is psychosis, it is schizophrenia. Once you have seen the whole ugliness of it you can easily drop it; it is no more a great sacrifice. In face to carry it any longer will be a sacrifice.
The secret is simple. The keys are always simple: the locks may be complex, but the keys are always simple. And this is a master key -- it can unlock all the doors of the divine.
OSHO: What is the meaning of your name?
NIHAT: I don't know!
That's the right answer!
First: the moment you say "God," it seems a very faraway thing. That's what they have been saying down the centuries, that God is somewhere above, in the sky, very very far away. But when you say "love," it is very close to the heart; and God is close to the heart. All those priests are cunning and crafty. They have been trying to prove that God is far away, because if God is far away, only then can they be the representatives of God, the mediators, the agents.
If God is far away that makes the pope relevant; if God is very close to your heart what is the need of a pope? There is no need of anybody to mediate between you and God. If God is the heartbeat then the Vatican becomes irrelevant, then all churches and all priests lose their profession. They have a beautiful profession, most prestigious, powerful; who wants to lose prestige and power?
The moment you use the word "God," it gives you a sense of person: God becomes limited, becomes defined. But love is not a person. It is a quality, a presence, a fragrance, not a flower; more unlimited, more unbounded, more infinite.
When you say "God," you simply feel impotent -- what to do? But if love is there you can do something about it. It is your innermost nature to be loving. Hence my whole teaching revolves around the word "love."
Jesus says "God is love." I say "Love is God." And you name, Nihat, is beautiful, the sound of it is poetic. Meaning is not needed, in fact all meanings are invented. No word has any meaning -- we give the meaning to it. And it is significant sometimes to use meaningless words for the sheer beauty of the sound, for the sheer poetry -- for no other reason.
And you say that you don't know the meaning of it. That's one of the essential qualities of a sannyasin: to function from the state of not-knowing. If you don't know something, simply say "I don't know." If you know, if you really know, only the say "I know." Much of the misery of the world can disappear if people become a little more alert. People go on saying things which they don't know, they go on pretending, as if they know. Not only do they deceive others, they deceive themselves too.
People talk about God and heaven and hell and the theory of karma and rebirth; they go on talking about these things as if they know. They go on believing in their own false knowledge and because of this false knowledge they will never be able to attain to true knowledge.
So remember it, always be alert: if you know something -- and when I say "you know," I mean you, not that the tradition says, the scriptures say, the priests say.... They may know, they may not know -- that is their business. Their knowing is not your knowing. Mohammed knows, Jesus knows, Buddha knows, but their knowing is their knowing. Their knowing has liberated them; their knowing cannot liberate you. Only your own knowing is going to liberate you.
So be very alert, and then you will be surprised how little we know. The more you become conscious, the more you will find that you know less and less and less. When one becomes absolutely conscious one is bound for a big surprise: one knows nothing. And the moment of that experience, that one knows nothing, is a great, liberating moment. It is enlightenment. To know that "I don't know," is enlightenment. One is freed of the mind, of knowledge; one is simply freed from all kinds of concepts, philosophies, religions. One is freedom! That ignorance is beautiful. That ignorance makes you a child again, it is a rebirth.
OSHO: Misery is human, bliss is divine. Animals are unaware of both; they are neither miserable nor blissful, they are living in a kind of deep sleep.
Man has awakened a little bit, just a small part of his being has become conscious; hence the split. Animals are total, there is no split, they are one piece. Man is dual, and the duality arises because a part of his consciousness has arisen from the unconscious ocean. It is just the tip of the iceberg, a very small part, one-tenth of the whole, but it has created a division: the conscious mind and the unconscious mind.
The unconscious mind goes on pulling you towards the animal because it remembers the joys now; it remembers the joys of being animal, of being total. When you were an animal you were not aware of them. It is as old people remember the beauties of childhood. Children are not aware. Only when they lose their childhood do they start remembering that which they had never felt before when they were really children.
The unconscious pulls you back toward the animal world; its pull is downwards, backwards. And the conscious is trying to pull you upwards so you become more conscious, because consciousness has given you many things. Yes, it has given you anxiety, tension, anguish, but it has also given you music, painting, poetry. And it has given you a dignity which no animal has, the dignity of being conscious. If such a small part can impart so much dignity the desire arises: "If I become fully conscious, how much will now be my glory?" That is the search for buddhahood, of becoming totally awakened, enlightened.
So these two parts go on pulling you. Because of this tug-of-war, misery arises; hence misery is human. And man is always at a crossroad: either you go downwards, backwards.... But you cannot stay there either because whatsoever has happened has already happened and it cannot be undone. You will have to come back again. That conscious part cannot be lost. Hence the only possible way to get out of misery is to become more conscious.
The more conscious you are, the more and more you feel bliss arising in you. The day one is fully conscious and there is no nook and corner of one's being which is dark, when one is luminous, when one has become light, each act is done in full awareness -- one even sleeps in full awareness. That has been the goal down e ages. This is the real search of religion: how to come to a point when you can sleep and yet be alert. Right now the situation is just the opposite: you are awake and yet asleep. The day it happens one has entered into the world of the divine, the world of God, what Jesus calls the kingdom of God, and Buddha calls nirvana.
This has to be your work on yourself: become more and more conscious, make every possible effort in transforming your unconscious mind into consciousness. Walk consciously, sit consciously, eat consciously, talk consciously, listen consciously. Let consciousness be spread all over your life, twenty-four hours a day be engulfed in it. And then one day that blissful moment arrives when it becomes natural, spontaneous. That day is the day of rejoicing -- one has arrived home!
LETIZIA IS LEAVING FOR A SHORT WHILE.
OSHO: And then you are coming forever? (SHE NODS) Come forever... that's good!
LETIZIA: I AM VERY MUCH AFRAID!
Everybody is afraid of love, as afraid as people are of death, because love and death are two sides of the same coin. So fear is natural, but the risk is worth taking. Help my people there. (HE HANDS HER A BOX)
Keep it with you, and whenever you need me put it on the heart: it will immediately make you very much afraid!
OSHO (TO LINO): When did you arrive? (TEARS) Good! How long will you be staying?
LINO (TEARFULLY): AS LONG AS PO-PO-POSSIBLE!
You will not be able to leave! This is not the way of a person who can leave!
LINO: OHHH!
You are finished! (chuckles) Come closer to me... just the last touch! Good, so you have arrived! It is beautiful.
