A moment comes when you see the whole futility of effort.
You have done all that you can do and nothing is happening. You
have done all that is humanly possible. Then what else can you do?
In sheer helplessness one drops all search. And the day the search
stopped, the day I was not seeking for something, the day I was
not expecting something to happen, it started happening. A new
energy arose – out of nowhere. It was not coming from any
source. It was coming from nowhere and everywhere. It was in the
trees and in the rocks and the sky and the sun and the air – it
was everywhere. And I was seeking so hard, and I was thinking it
is very far away. And it was so near and so close. About
twelve at night my eyes suddenly opened – I had not
opened them. The sleep was broken by something else. I felt a
great presence around me in the room. It was a very small room. I
felt a throbbing life all around me, a great |
vibration
– almost like a hurricane, a great storm of light, joy, ecstasy.
I was drowning in it. It was so tremendously real that everything
became unreal. The walls of the room became unreal, the house
became unreal, my own body became unreal. Everything was unreal
because now there was for the first time reality. The whole day was strange, stunning, and it was a shattering experience. The past was disappearing, as if it had never belonged to me, as if I had read about it somewhere, as if I had dreamed about it, as if it was somebody else's story I have heard and somebody told it to me. I was becoming loose from my past, I was being uprooted from my history, I was losing my autobiography. I was becoming a non-being, what Buddha calls anatta. Boundaries were disappearing, distinctions were disappearing.
Bhagwan Shree
Rajneesh (also known as Osho) founded hundreds of meditation
centers around the world, ran a city in Oregon and had dozens of
books in print. He was known as the Guru of Sex and did not fit
into the standard mold of a Hindu guru. |
