Sutras

Osho: have you forgotten poor murphy and his great sutras completely?

NO, I WAS JUST WAITING for you to ask. I can forget Buddha, Christ, but not poor Murphy. He is such a beautiful guy, so wise. Listen to his sutras... first: Love is not enough, but it sure helps. Second: We have only ourselves and one another. That may not be much but that's all there is. Third: Murphy's two political principles. First: No matter what they're telling you, they're not telling you the whole truth. Second: No matter what they are talking about, they're talking about money. Fourth: Fact is solidified opinion. Fifth: Facts may weaken under extreme heat and pressure. Sixth: Truth is elastic. Seventh: The other line always moves faster. This applies to all lines -- bank, supermarket, tollbooth, customs If you change lines, then the other line, the one you were in originally, will move faster. Eighth: The only thing worse than work is looking for…

Here are some of werner erhard's sutras from his 'book of lies'. Could you comment on one or more of these?

REALIZE YOU'RE ALRIGHT THE WAY YOU ARE, AND YOU'LL GET BETTER NATURALLY. That is the only way to get better. The only change that is possible is to accept whatsoever you are, wheresoever you are. Through acceptance is revolution, not through effort. Try to understand it. Who will make the effort? You will make the effort, and you are not right, so the effort is going to be made by a wrong man. How can the effort be right? You will be in a greater mess through it. A man is violent and he wants to be non-violent. Who will make the effort? The violent man will make the effort to become non-violent? Then in the very effort there will be violence. You are sexual and you would like to become a BRAHMACHARI, a celibate. Who will make the effort? You who are sexual? The very energy which is sexual…

Osho please tell us a few more sutras of the great mystic paramahansa his holiness murphyji maharaj. And do you know murphy's version of the golden rule 'do unto others as you would have others do unto you'?

Akam, I don't know Murphy's version of the golden rule, but I can guess. I know the man! He will say: Never do unto others as you would like others to do unto you, because their tastes may be different. And here are a few sutras of Murphy. First: It all started in the garden of Eden when man came first -- and woman has been late ever since. Second: You can't tell how deep a puddle is until you step in it. Third: There is never enough time to do it right, but there is always enough time to do it over. Fourth: Whatever the person at the next table orders, it always looks better than yours. Fifth: Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself. Sixth: Eat dessert first, because life is so uncertain. Seventh: If everything seems to be going well you…

Beloved Osho, please tell us a few more murphy sutras and a few murphy anecdotes too.

Gandharva, the Murphy sutras are really beautiful! The first sutra: If wives were good, God would have one. Second: Some people are born silly, some people acquire silliness, and some fall in love. Third: After man came woman, and she has been after him ever since. Fourth: Be thrifty when you are young, and when you are old you will be able to afford the things that only the young can enjoy. Fifth: Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone. Sixth: Heredity is something people believe in if they have bright children. Seventh: When in Rome, do as the Romans do -- eat spaghetti. Eighth: Some men have no solution for any difficulty, but will find a difficulty for any solution. If you don't believe in this eighth sutra you can ask Asheesh. He is the perfect personification of this sutra!…
