Quote

‘Osho, what is spirituality? And what is enlightenment? Mind is a monkey. The more someone wants to erase the impressions carried by him, the more he goes on gathering new ones. Osho, could you please show me a way?’ G.D. Murthi, you have asked many questions in one. The first thing to be understood is: your questions are not authentic, they are not yours; they come from your Indian conditioning. You ask: WHAT IS SPIRITUALITY? First one should ask, ‘Who am I?’ First one should ask, ‘What is this consciousness in me?’ But we make a philosophical question out of an existential one. And the existential is forgotten, and the philosophical becomes very significant: ‘What is spirituality?’ Spirituality is not something that can be defined, is not something that can be answered. It is something that you have to explore. And the right beginning will be, don’t ask such stupid questions; start with something sensible. Ask, ‘Who am I?’ And I cannot answer that question; you have to ask within yourself, ‘Who am I?’ Go on using that question as a digging instrument within your being. Just as a person digs a well one has to dig a well in oneself, because there are layers and layers of conditioning, layers and layers of knowledge. Unless you have thrown all those layers out you will not know your own being, your own center. And the Indian mind is the most rotten in the world because it is the most ancient in the world. For at least ten thousand years it has existed—it has forgotten how to die. It does not know how to live, it has forgotten to die. It is in a kind of limbo, it is in a kind of coma-breathing, not dead, not alive either. And it asks great questions, but those questions arise out of borrowed knowledge. WHAT IS SPIRITUALITY? WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? All bullshit! There is no spirituality, there is no enlightenment. To know this is to be enlightened! To be just ordinary, to live—to enjoy, to love, to dance, to sing, to create—the very ordinary existence with an extraordinary intensity, with passion, that is enlightenment. But you must be looking for some esoteric answer. I am against all esoteric things. One of my sannyasins, Almasta, has asked: OSHO, WILL YOU PLEASE ANSWER A FEW VERY ESOTERIC QUESTIONS FOR ME? But her questions are beautiful, far more beautiful than asking, G.D. Murthi: WHAT IS SPIRITUALITY? AND WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? And then your knowledge immediately comes in: MIND IS A MONKEY. As if you know what mind is! If you know what mind is you will not ask these questions, because the moment one knows one’s mind one has discovered one’s soul too—immediately, instantly; it happens together. If one knows what one’s mind is one knows what enlightenment is, because enlightenment is a state of no-mind. If you know, ‘This is the mind,’ you are IMMEDIATELY no more it, you are out of it. You are just awareness and that awareness is enlightenment. So, G.D. Murthi, your questions are really esoteric. Almasta’s questions are far more beautiful—small questions but significant. She asks first: How many politicians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Now this is spirituality! Almasta, only one—they don’t like to share the spotlight. Her second question is: How many Indians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Almasta, seven hundred million, not a single person less—the whole of India to pray to God for the old bulb to go back on. Her third question is: How many Catholics does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Almasta, two—one to screw in the lightbulb and one to repent. Her fourth question is: How many nuclear physicists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Almasta, at least fifty—one to screw in the lightbulb and forty-nine to figure out what to do with the old one. Her fifth question is: How many Italians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Almasta, only one—but don’t expect results. Her sixth question is: How many mice does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Almasta, two—just two, and you can always expect results too. Her seventh question is: What is the difference between a pregnant woman and a lightbulb? Almasta, you can unscrew the lightbulb. Her eighth question is: How many Rajneesh sannyasins does it take to screw a lightbulb in? Almasta, five thousand plus one: one to screw the lightbulb in—whose name is Haridas—and the other five thousand to celebrate the great occasion. And her ninth and the last question is: How many Oshos does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Almasta, none… sitting silently doing nothing, the spring comes and the lightbulb screws by itself. G.D. Murthi, this is far more beautiful than your stupid question which appears to be spiritual. You are thinking you are asking something great: WHAT IS SPIRITUALITY? Never heard of it! AND WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? How am I supposed to know? You seem to know everything! MIND IS A MONKEY. THE MORE SOMEONE WANTS TO ERASE IMPRESSIONS CARRIED BY HIM, THE MORE HE GOES ON GATHERING NEW ONES. Then stop erasing! Then why do you go on erasing? If you know this much, that THE MORE SOMEONE WANTS TO ERASE THE IMPRESSIONS CARRIED BY HIM, THE MORE HE GOES ON GATHERING NEW ONES, then don’t erase the old ones. Just stop erasing and they will stop gathering, and you will be enlightened. It is so simple! Enlightenment is such a simple thing that I sometimes wonder how people manage NOT to be enlightened. It is really arduous to manage, because enlightenment is a natural phenomenon. You are BORN enlightened! You are BORN Buddhas! But the moment you start asking, ‘What is enlightenment and how to become enlightened?’ you will be in a mess. It is like a man asking, ‘What is it to be a man? HOW to become a man?’ Now he will be in a mess! All that he needs is to stand before a mirror and see that he is a man already. Meditation is only a mirror. You stand naked before yourself and suddenly you start laughing. You look so ridiculous standing naked before a mirror! That is the greatest joke of all. Once you see yourself naked, totally naked, you are enlightened. Just uncover yourself… and you are wearing many clothes, clothes upon clothes. If you drop one dress another dress is there; drop that, another dress is there. You are like an onion, and meditation is nothing but the process of peeling the onion. Of course a few tears will come to your eyes! Go on peeling the onion, layer upon layer, and ultimately nothing is left in your hands. And Gautam Buddha has said that is the moment when you know who you are—when nothing is left in your hands, just nothing, when your hands are full of nothing, the whole onion has disappeared and with it all the tears have disappeared—just pure nothingness. But it will be difficult for you. Your knowledge, your knowlegeability will create problems for you. You are asking: OSHO, COULD YOU PLEASE SHOW ME A WAY? I can show you a way, but where do you want to go? I don’t know where you want to go! You are asking me… PLEASE SHOW ME A WAY? To where? Do you want to go to Timbuktu or to Tokyo? Where do you want to go? The way can be shown to you, but the real problem is that enlightenment happens when you stop going anywhere, neither to Timbuktu nor to Tokyo—when you stop going, when you are simply resting in your own being, not going anywhere, not even a ripple, no desire to reach, no desire to achieve. You are full of desires: you want to achieve spirituality, you want to achieve enlightenment. Your name is G.D. Murthi; you simply want an O to be put between G and D. That’s what your whole desire is: how to become God Murthi. Just O is missing; you can write it yourself! There is no problem in it. Who can prevent you? Make it G-O-D. But that O also represents zero, and if you can manage to be a zero, just a nothingness, you have arrived, you have found. There is no way leading to it; all ways are misleading. A way as such is going to mislead, because a way means you are going farther away from yourself—a way always takes you away. There is no way to come to yourself—you are already there! There is no need to come. Simply stop these fantasies of going somewhere, of becoming spiritual, of becoming religious, of attaining enlightenment, nirvana, samadhi—simply stop all this nonsense. Just rest within your being, at home, at ease, relaxed… and THIS very moment, now and here, you are enlightened! You become enlightened every morning here, and again you forget. And I am not joking—this is so! I make you enlightened every day, but you again get into the mess, you again start raising dust around yourself. You become afraid: ‘What is happening? Have I become enlightened?’ And that is the beginning of raising the dust and the cloud and the smoke: ‘Have I become enlightened? Now what to do? Where to go? And if my wife comes to know then she will create trouble. It is better before I reach home to forget all about it!’ By the time you reach home you are again unenlightened. You enter the same way again, your tail between your legs, afraid, because if you are really enlightened you will reach home and roar like a lion! Today try it, and the whole neighborhood will know that you have become enlightened! Your wife of course will shout, ‘Shut up! Don’t become enlightened so quickly! Wait! Let your children grow, let them get married. And enlightenment is for old age when you become retired; this is not the time. Put a stop to it right now—enough is enough!’ Enlightenment is a simple phenomenon: just breathing, resting, doing nothing, and you are silent and there is no mind. Just right now… is there any mind?… All the minds have disappeared. Where are the monkeys? But these so-called Indian mahatmas go on telling people, ‘Mind is a monkey.’ And you listen and you start repeating like gramophone records, ‘Mind is a monkey.’ And you go on worshiping the monkey god Hanuman to prove that of course the mahatmas are right. ‘If mind is not a monkey, why am I worshiping this monkey? I must be a monkey!’ And then comes Charles Darwin who says that you are born of the monkeys, so not only is the mind a monkey, your body is a monkey too. And you don’t know what spirituality is, so all that is left… body is a monkey, mind is a monkey, so two monkeys and that’s enough to bring results! Forget all about this spirituality and enlightenment. Relax in your ordinary life. Eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, go to sleep when you are feeling sleepy, and wake up in the early morning when you are feeling that you have rested enough. Just live the ordinary life joyously, live moment-to-moment. Don’t hanker for something great, ultimate, far away. Don’t bother about the other world, the beyond—this world is more than one needs. This world is so beautiful, who cares about the other world? People ask me, ‘What happens after death?’ And I ask them, ‘First try to find out what is happening BEFORE death!’ And they look at me as if I am joking. I am never joking, I am simply telling you the truth! But because you are not finished yet with your desires and longings, you don’t listen to the truth. Two salesmen were standing together at a bar, a little distance away from a drunk who was having trouble propping himself up and balancing his drink. The men were chatting about their job when one of them noticed a very unpleasant smell. ‘Hey, Joe,’ he interrupted, ‘do you smell shit!’ The other salesman sniffed and nodded, fingers closing his nostrils. ‘I think it is coming from that old drunk over there,’ he said. The first salesman walked over to the drunk. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘there is a foul smell around here. Did you shit in your pants?’ The drunk looked up at him over his glass, blearyeyed. ‘Yeth,’ he slobbered, ‘whath abouth ith?’ Shocked, the young salesman replied, ‘Well, why don’t you go to the men’s room and wash yourself?’ The drunk looked up again, thought for a moment, and then said decisively, ‘Because I haven’t finished yet!’ That’s the trouble—you are not finished yet! Otherwise go to the men’s bathroom and wash yourself and be enlightened! Who is preventing you? Just a little washing is needed and the whole foul smell will disappear. You are born fragrant, you become foul. It is your great work—you can undo it!
