OSHO
Sooner or later I will be gone. If you learn how to listen to me attentively, many of you will be alble to listen to mee from the other shore too.
Die meisten von uns leben ihr Leben in der Zeit, in der Erinnerung an die Vergangenheit und der Erwartung an die Zukunft. Nur seher selten berühren wir die zeitlose Dimension der Gegenwart - in Momenten von überwältigender Schönheit, oder plötzlicher Gefahr, bei einem Treffen mit dem Geliebten oder wenn plötzlich etwas Unerwartetes geschieht.
Nur wenige Menschen gelingt es aus dieser Welt der Zeit und Gedankengebilden, ihrer Zielstrebungen und Wettkämpfen, auszusteigen um ein Leben in der zeitlosen Dimension zu beginnen.
Unter denen die dies tun, sind nur sehr wenige, die diese Erfahrung auch kommunizieren können. Lao Tzu, Gautam Buddha, Bodhidharma... oder etwa näher...Georg Gurdjieff, Ramana Maharshi, J. Krishnamurti...
Diese werden von ihren Zeitgenossen als aussergewöhnlich oder verrückt bezeichnet. Nach ihrem Tod aber nennt man sie "Philosophen". Im laufe der Zeit werden sie zu "Legenden" - nicht Fleisch - nicht Blut- aber mythische Repräsentanten für unsere kollektiven Wünsche aus dem kleinen, gewöhnlichem Leben auszusteigen, dem Wertlosen des alltäglichen Lebens.
OSHO hat diese Erfahrung, in der zeitlosen Dimenson zu leben, gelebt. Er hat sein Leben hingegeben, um anderen die Möglichkeit zu bieten, dieselbe Tür zu finden, um herauszutreten aus der Welt von Vergangenheit und Zukunft und um für sich selbst die Welt der Unendlichkeit zu erfahren.
OSHO
The people who remain interested in my work will be simply carrying the torch, but not imposing anything on anyone...
I will remain a source, of inspiration to my people. And that`s what most of my sannyasins will feel. I want them to grow on their own - qualities like love, around which no church can be created; like awareness, which is nobody`s monopoly; like celebration, rejoicing, and maintainig fresh, childlike eyes--"
"I want my people to know themselves, not to be according to someone else."
"And The way is in."

So forget all about achieving. Don’t become an achiever. My sannyasins have to drop all kinds of
ambitions – material. worldly and spiritual – all. To be ambitious is to be stupid. That’s why I say
politicians are stupid, because they are the most ambitious people in the world. The more ambitious
you are the more stupid you will be.
Ambition makes you stupid. Why? – because intelligence is of the herenow and ambition is of the
future. Intelligence blooms THIS moment, and ambition always thinks of faraway lands. Ambition
is of the tomorrow, and because of ambition you go on missing the intelligence that is just now
showering, welling up within you.
I have heard...
It was decided to send a monkey and a politician to the moon. Their instructions on what to do after
landing were sealed into pockets in their suits. As soon as they had touched down on the lunar
landscape, the monkey opened his set of instructions.
It read:
Check all fuel tanks.
Check computer and re-program the same.
Take samples of rock, sand and air.
Check oxygen levels and density.
Check landing craft for damage.
Check stabilizers and anti-gravity devices.
Then send radio message down to earth reporting position.
Then the politician opened his sealed instructions. It said in big letters:
Feed the monkey!!!
Ambition makes a person REALLY stupid – even a monkey is more intelligent. Don’t be ambitious!
