Why does a divide still appear after taking sannyas?

Osho, even after arriving at the camp why does a divide still appear? Does the distance vanish the moment one takes sannyas? Is your blessing only for sannyasins? Is it not for all living beings?

Blessing is for everyone. But it is not that just because I give it you will receive it; you will receive it only if you take it. The river is flowing—flowing for all. Trees will drink, animals and birds will drink, humans will drink. But only the one who drinks will be quenched. If you stand stiff on the bank, the river will not jump into your cupped hands. You will have to bend, you will have to form your palms into a cup—only then will you be able to drink. If you do not drink, if the water is not drunk, then do not complain about the river. The river was flowing. But man is very upside down. If he does not receive blessing, he thinks the blessing must not have been given. But do you have the capacity to receive? Will you accept blessing? Blessing is not a…

all power is divine we are only vehicles, passages we are like a hollow bamboo flute our function is to allow god to flow through us the song is divine the song does not belong to the flute all that the flute can do is not to disturb it not to block it, not to hinder it, but to allow it the function of the flute is in a way negative just not to obstruct and then the song goes on flowing that's where our ego creates trouble the ego is a block it fills the hollow bamboo flute and stops the song from flowing through it then life becomes obviously a misery, an anguish it misses the song -- that song is our very life god is our very life god is not some person somewhere but our very heartbeat, our very existence and the ego is our enemy…

This question has been asked by Pragya. She asks: “Yesterday you said, ‘Dissolve—efface yourself—and union with the Divine will happen.’”

We say we feel afraid of disappearing because the journey of the ego is not yet fulfilled. The experience that the ego reaches nowhere has not yet become deep. There is still the foolishness: “I will accomplish something.” “I will show the world something.” “Let me try a little more. Don’t erase the ‘I’ so soon. Perhaps something is just about to arrive—who knows! True, nothing has come so far; but it may come tomorrow, who knows! The day after tomorrow!” So we keep trying a little more, a little more. You are still attached to the prison. The day it is seen that this is a prison, who can stop you? It is you who are holding on. You are clutching the bars of your own cage. You are holding them. The door is open; the day you decide, you will step out. The Divine is present within you;…

But for that moment to come, continue to be alone a little longer. And this is the criterion: if this mind of "I would like to be loved by others" continues then you still have to remain alone. One day this desire will disappear and another desire will take its place; that will be a transformation in you. From that moment onwards there is no need to be in seclusion; then start moving. You are no more dangerous; to others and to yourself you are no more dangerous. Your being alone has helped you. It has settled you -- it has made you calmer, quieter. Just a little more... a little patience. Veet means beyond, martyo means death. The really real within you is beyond death. The one that dies and is born is not your reality.

It is asked: “I haven’t met you personally yet, and still I am filled with strange feelings toward you. Sometimes I cry; sometimes I just keep gazing at you.”

The friend who has asked—this is a new, fresh contact. New experiences are rising in it. Before these experiences lose their meaning, before these waves become inert, before you slowly accept even these waves and they, too, grow old—take the leap. “Sometimes I cry; sometimes I just keep gazing at you.” Tears are a sign that the connection is being made through the heart. If it were made through the intellect, tears would never come. If the connection is through the head, at most one nods: “Right”; or if not, one shakes the head: “Wrong.” Only the skull nods a little. Tears have nothing to do with the head. Tears flow from the eyes—but they come from the heart, from the innermost core. Tears are more meaningful—than doctrines, ideas, sects. Tears are more meaningful. Tears bring the news that the heart has been struck, something within has trembled. Before the…
