Our problem is how to free the mind from all conditioning, not how to condition it better. Do you understand? Most of us are seeking a better conditioning. Continue reading

How to Die ? – Kill your Ego
One man told Gorakh he was thinking of committing suicide. Gorakh said: ”Go and commit it, but I tell you, afterwards you will be very surprised.”
That man said: ”What do you mean? I came to you so that you would tell me ’Don’t do it!’ I went to other sadhus. They all cautioned me: ’Brother, don’t do it, suicide is a great sin.’”
Power of Practice
(contributed by Mr. Balasunder)
You may have repaired numerous ‘boat holes’ along the way…
A man was asked to paint a boat.
He brought with him paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him.
While painting, he noticed that there was a small hole in the hull, and quietly repaired it.
When finished painting, he received his money and left. Continue reading
Dalai Lama – The Power of Forgiveness
True Nature of Prayer
Question : I want to ask something from God. What should I ask?
Osho: Go to God’s door as a lover, not as a beggar.….
…….Firstly : don’t ask for anything. That is meditation, that is feeling, that is the state of no mind. Secondly: if you do ask, then ask for godliness, ask for such a kindness that you can be accepted.
But if this much love has not arisen, then just ask that your heart is filled with love:
Fill my heart with so much love today
That I become a rejoicing lamp.
Place a drop of honey on my tongue today
So that I can even drink venom, singing.
Don’t fall below this. If you go below this then prayer becomes completely corrupted, it is no longer prayer.

We cannot give love and forgiveness if we are not manifesting them in our own lives..
If we select a pattern of love through which to pray and relate to another, then the Life Force of Love is drawn to us as a channel of that energy and flows to others. Becoming such a channel is dependent upon the extent of the attunement we make to the pattern of the divine within us, and our living with consistency and persistency up to the ideals and purposes we have set for ourselves. In short, are we physically, mentally, and spiritually in accord with the prayers being prayed? Continue reading
The Blind Horse
Near my home is a field, with two horses in it.
From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing….
Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.
This alone is unusual, but that’s not the thing that makes this story amazing.
Transition : Letting go of the Old, Dwelling in the Neutral zone, Creating a New Beginning
Transition, is the process of letting go of the way things used to be and then taking hold of the way they subsequently become. In between the letting go and the taking hold again, there is a chaotic but potentially creative “neutral zone” when things aren’t the old way, but aren’t really a new way yet either. This three-phase process-ending, neutral zone, beginning again-is transition. Transition is the way that we all come to terms with change. Without transition, a change is mechanical, superficial, empty.
What is it time to let go of ?
Whatever its details, an outer loss is best understood as a surrogate for some inner relinquishment that must be made, but one that is difficult to describe. What it is time to let go of is not so much the relationship or the job itself, but rather the hopes, fears, dreams and beliefs that we have attached to them. Continue reading
