Highlights of piece include:
How Indian cinema “celebrates love between the poor and the rich; love across the lines of religion, region, and language; love that upends conventional notions of gender and sexuality” but it does not honestly discuss is the brutal social reality

Remember “family movies”‘genre. Everything goody goody, highly charged useless subplots and three hours of waste. “But look closer and you’ll see that the elaborate family subplots are just a way to hide, or at least sanitize or soften, the fact that this is an arranged marriage“

The #mind is a #coward, for those who listen to it become utterly cowardly. The mind is not an #adventurer, it is very #cautious. It takes every step with #thinking and #calculation until it is #certain that there is no #risk.

The moment you #renounce #responsibilities you also renounce #freedom. These are the complexities of life: freedom and responsibilities remain and go away together.
More you love freedom, more you will be ready to #accept responsibilities.
The moment you #renounce #responsibilities you also renounce #freedom. These are the complexities of life: freedom and responsibilities remain and go away together.
More you love freedom, more you will be ready to #accept responsibilities.
But outside the world, outside the #society, there is no possibility of any #responsibility. And it has to be remembered that all that we learn, we learn through being #responsible.
#Escaping to the #forest and the #mountains, you are simply escaping from a learning situation.
In a cave in the Himalayas you won’t have any responsibility, but remember, without #responsibility you cannot #grow; your #consciousness will remain #stuck.

When desiring disappears there is trust!

#Surrender doesn’t depend on the object, it is a quality that you bring into your #being. To whom you surrender is irrelevant.
Any object will do. You can surrender to a tree, you can surrender to a river, you can surrender to anything, your wife, your husband, your guru.

Any object will do. You can surrender to a tree, you can surrender to a river, you can surrender to anything, your wife, your husband, your guru.
Even through stones, people have attained because it is not a question at all to what you #surrender.
You surrender, and that brings the whole thing, that opens the door. Surrendering, the effort to surrender brings an opening to you.

If you are open to stone, you become open to the whole existence, because it is only a question of opening. How can you be open to a stone, and not open to a tree?

This is a beautiful method, will be very useful for you. For example, if you are feeling very discontented, what to do?
#Patanjali says ponder on the opposite: if you are feeling #discontented, contemplate about #contentment, what is contentment. Bring a #balance.

If your mind is #angry, bring #compassion in, think about compassion; and, immediately, the energy changes. Because they are the same; the opposite is the same energy.
Once you bring it in, it absorbs. #Anger is there: contemplate on compassion

The #opposite is the pole. When you feel #hateful, think of #love. When you feel #desire, think of #desirelessness and the silence that comes in it. Whatsoever the case, bring the opposite in and watch what happens within you.

The #mind is always ready to go on a trip because it is only in trips that it feels alive. #Meditation simply means sitting silently, doing nothing, not even #thinking and the mind disappears. Because you are not on any trip, the mind is no longer needed.
The #mind is always ready to go on a trip because it is only in trips that it feels alive. #Meditation simply means sitting silently, doing nothing, not even #thinking and the mind disappears. Because you are not on any trip, the mind is no longer needed.
The #mind is a guide for great journeys. If you are going somewhere, the mind is very happy; in your going somewhere the mind can feel enhanced. But if you are not going anywhere, just sitting #silently, doing nothing, the mind feels very #sad.
It will happen almost always to meditators that when the mind feels sad, it starts creating #boredom for you; that is a strategy of the mind. The mind is saying, "Come on! Let us go somewhere, let us do something. Why are you sitting? Just sitting doing nothing brings boredom!"
#OSHO
A real commune, real #communism, will create equal #opportunities for #growth, but accept the #uniqueness of each #individual.
A commune means that we have pooled all our energies, our #money, everything into a single pool which will be taking care of all the #people

A commune means that we have pooled all our energies, our #money, everything into a single pool which will be taking care of all the #people
There should be absolute #freedom of expression in words or in creativity. Each individual should be respected as he is, not according to any ideal. His basic #needs must be fulfilled, and as the commune becomes richer, every individual should be provided with #comfort & #luxury
All the communes should be #interdependent, but they will not exchange money.
#Money should be dissolved. It has done tremendous harm to humanity – now it is time to say goodbye to it because money can be #accumulated. Money is one of the #enemies of man.

#Love can never be #satisfied. If it is satisfied, it is not much of a love. The #greater and #deeper it is, the more #dissatisfaction there will be. It simply shows the vastness, that it will never be satisfied. The moment it is satisfied, it is dead.

#Satisfaction is not a great #quality. It belongs to the little #minds, to the little #hearts.
There are people who are satisfied with a little #money, with a #house, with a little #name, a little #fame, these are #pygmies.

#Meditation happens beyond #mind. It involves watching #mind. When the real YOU, the watcher, becomes stronger the mind becomes the #servant.
No #discipline, #mantra or #scientific instrument can lead to meditation. No technique can go beyond mind.

No #discipline, #mantra or #scientific instrument can lead to meditation. No technique can go beyond mind.
The basis of all misunderstanding in a scientific circle is: when the being of a person is in a state of meditation, it creates certain waves in the mind. These waves can be wavelength from the outside by #technical means. But those waves will not create #meditation
You may go on practising with #scientific instruments for years; it will not change your #character, it will not change your #morality, it will not change your #individuality. You will remain the same.

Start with #desire.
One has to begin with desiring something that cannot be achieved by desiring. But if you are aware of this fact - if you are aware of the fact that you are desiring something that cannot be desired - it helps. At any moment, you can take the #jump.

With the #mind we cannot understand anything which is effortless. Mind means effort. The faculty of the mind is to do something; it is an instrument for doing. The very faculty of mind is to #achieve something, to gain some desire.
You cannot begin with no #desiring. The mind will make this non-desiring also the desired object.
The mind will create new desire and say, “Okay, I will try not to desire.” It will say, “Really, it looks fascinating. I will try to do something so that this no desiring happens.”

#Distraction can be made the very object of #meditation - and it is a distraction because there is some appeal deep down, some #harmony.
Whenever you feel something is distracting, that simply shows that you are naturally attracted towards that, nothing else
#Distraction can be made the very object of #meditation - and it is a distraction because there is some appeal deep down, some #harmony.
Whenever you feel something is distracting, that simply shows that you are naturally attracted towards that, nothing else
Why create #conflict with distraction?
Move in the same #direction; make it an object of #meditation. Be #natural, don’t be #suppressive and don’t create #conflict and you will attain.
Nobody ever attains through conflict. Conflict will create a split #personality.

Move to the #natural #attraction; then you are one, then you are whole, then you are together. Then you are one piece, not a house divided against itself. And when you move as one piece there is a dance in your step and there is nothing which is not #divine.

The #unconscious #mind is nine times bigger than the #conscious; it has tremendous treasures, all the memories of your past.
Below the unconscious, there is the collective unconscious. One can descend into the collective unconscious also with somebody’s help.

#Intelligence is a response to a new situation, not out of your past memories but from your present awareness, this very moment.
Intelligence is a spontaneous #responsibility. It has been misunderstood. It has become almost equivalent to #duty. The #reality is different.

Intelligence is a spontaneous #responsibility. It has been misunderstood. It has become almost equivalent to #duty. The #reality is different.
There has been a perennial conflict between #intelligence and #intellect.
The man of intellect thinks that he is #intelligent because he knows so much. He has accumulated a great heritage of #knowledge, he is burdened with all kinds of #information.

The man of #intelligence is innocent; he functions moment to moment, his functioning has a freshness and a beauty. But to find intelligence one has to go beyond the mind. #Meditation is the way.

There are three paths in #spirituality.
The path of
1. Action,
2. Knowledge
3. Love / Devotion
There are three paths in #spirituality.
The path of
1. Action,
2. Knowledge
3. Love / Devotion
On the path of will, consciousness changes content.
On the path of knowing, content changes consciousness.
On the path of feeling, both interact, both affect each other.
On the path of knowing, content changes consciousness.
On the path of feeling, both interact, both affect each other.
If you can choose the path of love, then choose it. If it is impossible, only then choose the second - the path knowing, awareness. Or, if you cannot choose even that, only then choose the path of action; that is the hardest and most desert-like.

Experience of the total is possible, but the expression of the total is not possible. The expression is always partial.
You can feel and realize the total, but the moment you express it, it is only a viewpoint, it is never the total.
Experience of the total is possible, but the expression of the total is not possible. The expression is always partial.
You can feel and realize the total, but the moment you express it, it is only a viewpoint, it is never the total.
Two basic divisions: the path of knowing and the path of love. The mind can look at the truth as a knower or as a lover.
If you look through a lover’s eyes, then your experience will be the same as when you look through the knower’s eyes, but the expression will differ.
If you look through a lover’s eyes, then your experience will be the same as when you look through the knower’s eyes, but the expression will differ.
Knowledge has its own language, love has its own language.
Those languages are quite contradictory.
For example, knowledge always strives towards one, and love is impossible if there are not two. Love is possible only when there is a duality.

Jogging, dancing, swimming anything can be a meditation.
My definition of meditation is: whenever your body, mind and soul are functioning together in rhythm it is meditation.
If you are alert to the fact that you are doing it as a meditation & not to take part in the Olympics.
