Womb

To feel good, human beings look always for a womb. We all feel good with you; did we find a womb?

Of course. A Master is nothing but a womb: through him you are reborn. You die in him; you die with him. The Master is the cross and the resurrection. That is the meaning of Jesus' story: in him you die, and through him you are reborn. The Master is a womb. One womb is the mother's womb; another womb is the Master's womb. The mother sends you into the world, the Master sends you beyond it. The Master is a mother.

What is in my womb -- a ghost, or a goat, or god?

A difficult question because I am not a womb-reader. Wait a little. Time will show who is in your womb. An old man had a set of monkey glands installed in his system and shortly thereafter was married. In due time his wife was in the maternity room while he waited outside the door. When the doctor opened the door the husband besieged him. 'What is it,' he begged, 'a boy or a girl?' 'Don't be so impatient,' said the doctor. 'Wait till it comes down off the chandelier and I'll tell you.' If you have monkey glands installed in you then a monkey is born. So the doctor said, 'Don't be so impatient. Wait till it comes down off the chandelier and I will tell you.' Wait a little, I don't know how you have managed, what kind of soul you have called into your womb. But a few…

Man has an inherent longing to enter into the womb. Kindly explain whether or not man's lust for the sexual act, penetration, symbolizes his inherent longing for this return.

When the child is born it is a shock! He is thrown out of the Garden of Eden, out of paradise. Everything was so beautiful -- it was so beautiful that he was asleep. It was so comfortable that there was no need to be awake for even a single moment. It was a dream land, and now he has been thrown out forcibly. There is every possibility that the unconsciousness of the child struggles to remain in the womb. It is difficult to say whether it is so or not, but there is every possibility that the unconsciousness of the child struggles to remain in the womb. He creates every…

Beloved Osho, the other day in lecture,for the first time I heard your song! It was so beautiful. Your words had no meaning, your voice was soft music that surrounded and filled me with such joy and delight! What a wonderful surprise!

Dhanya, that is the way to hear me. It is for the first time you have heard me. It is for the first time communion has happened and not only communication. Communication is through words, communion is through music. Communication is an intellectual process; communion is that of the heart, when two hearts meet and mingle and melt. Dhanya, your name means "the blessed one". You are... you are blessed. This is the way to be with me. This is adab the way to be with a Master -- heart to heart, silence to silence, spirit to spirit. When my words start disappearing and you start hearing the gaps between the words, when you start hearing the gaps between the lines, you will be full of great music. That is my real message.
