Osho's perspective on Feelings
When Osho Spoke About Feelings
Passages from the discourses where this theme comes alive.
You say that when he has come from so far, with so much hope and reverence, why are his feelings rejected?
You are only playing with words. Perhaps even their meanings are not clear to you. Do you understand what trust means? Trust knows how to say “yes.” “No” does not exist in its language. That much is the meaning of trust: if there is trust, then say “yes” now. Give evidence that there is trust. Saying it is not evidence. Do something that becomes evidence. Give proof for trust. Sannyas is the proof of trust. But even then, if you want to meet me without becoming a sannyasin, you certainly can. Only, that will be just a performance of meeting. As you wish.
कह रहे हो कि जब वह इतनी दूर से, इतनी उम्मीद और श्रद्धा के साथ ओशो के पास आया, तो क्यों उसके जजबात ठुकराए जाते हैं?
तुम शब्दों का ही उपयोग कर रहे हो। शब्दों का तुम्हें अर्थ भी शायद ठीक-ठीक साफ नहीं है। श्रद्धा का मतलब समझते हो? श्रद्धा तो ‘हां’ कहना जानती है। ‘ना’ उसकी भाषा में होता नहीं। इतना ही श्रद्धा का अर्थ है कि श्रद्धा कहती है ‘हां’ तो अब ‘हां’ कहो। सबूत दो कि श्रद्धा है। कहने से तो सबूत नहीं होता। कुछ करो कि सबूत मिले। श्रद्धा के लिए प्रमाण दो। संन्यास श्रद्धा का प्रमाण है। लेकिन फिर भी तुम मिलना चाहो बिना संन्यासी हुए, तो जरूर मिल सकोगे। लेकिन वह सिर्फ मिलने का अभिनय होगा। तुम्हारी जैसी मर्जी।
Maneesha has asked a question: BELOVED OSHO, HAS ONE ONLY RECEIVED A HIT IF IT HURTS?
Maneesha, a master hits not to hurt but to heal. And a disciple receives the hit with tremendous gratitude, not with anger. Unless a hit is received with gratitude it cannot do its work of healing. You are all full of wounds, and they all need to be exposed to the sun, to the open sky. Unless you allow yourself to be exposed completely, you cannot get rid of those wounds. The normal way in the world is to hide the wounds so nobody knows about them -- go on hiding them deeper and deeper in the unconscious, so even you forget them. But to work on the consciousness, cleaning it from all the wounds is absolutely necessary. Those wounds have to be brought into the open. You are asking, "Has one only received a hit if it hurts?" No, Maneesha. If it hurts you have missed. If it does…
You tell me to follow my feelings, and when I finally dare to and am feeling much freer and simpler and happier, you say I am immature. What does it mean?
That is the whole definition of the right and the wrong. The wrong is that which cannot be done with awareness, for which unawareness is a must. The right is that which can be done only with awareness, for which unawareness has to be dropped; otherwise it cannot be done. Awareness is a must. The right is that for which awareness is a must, the wrong is that for which unawareness is a must. That is my definition of sin and virtue. And YOU are to decide; the responsibility is yours. It happened: A worried woman went to see her doctor and told him that her husband appeared to have no virility, and had no interest in her whatsoever. He gave her a prescription, saying "These will help him. Next time you and your husband are having a quiet meal together, just slip a couple of these pills into his…
Feel: my thought, I-ness, internal organs -- me.
BEFORE DESIRE AND BEFORE KNOWING, HOW CAN I SAY I AM? CONSIDER. DISSOLVE IN THE BEAUTY. ... If you feel the presence of thoughts, the crowd, you can feel this also -- that they are not yours. The crowd has come to you, it has gathered around you, but it doesn't belong to you. And if this can be felt -- that no thought is mine -- only then you can throw the mind. If they are yours, you will defend them. And the very feeling that `this thought is mine' is the attachment. Then I give it roots in myself. Then I become the soil and the thought can remain rooted in me. If anything that I can see is not mine is uprooted, then I am not attached to it. The feeling of `mine' creates attachment. You can fight for your thoughts, you can even become a martyr for
