Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - We are The Host !


the thoughts exist separate from you, they are not one with your nature, they come and go – you remain, you persist. You are like the sky: never comes, never goes, it is always there. Clouds come and go, they are momentary phenomena, they are not eternal. Even if you try to cling to a thought, you cannot retain it for long; it has to go, it has its own birth and death. Thoughts are not yours, they don’t belong to you. They come as visitors, guests, but they are not the host.

Watch deeply, then you will become the host and thoughts will be the guests. And as guests they are beautiful, but if you forget completely that you are the host and they become the hosts, then you are in a mess. This is what hell is. You are the master of the house, the house belongs to you, and guests have become the masters. Receive them, take care of them, but don’t get identified with
them; otherwise, they will become the masters.

The mind becomes the problem because you have taken thoughts so deeply inside you that you have forgotten completely the distance; that they are visitors, they come and go. Always remember that which abides: that is your nature, your TAO. Always be attentive to that which never comes and never goes, just like the sky. Change the gestalt: don’t be focused on the visitors, remain rooted in the host; the visitors will come and go."

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon! - The Original Question

"God is not the Answer. God is the state of being where the Question has disappeared!"
- Osho

Master, I myself am a question. I know not who I am. What to do? Where to go?

"Remain with the question. Don't do anything, and don't go anywhere; and don't start believing in any answer. Remain with the question. That is one of the most difficult things to do - to remain with a question, and not to seek the answer; because the mind is very cunning, it can supply a false answer. It can console you; it can give you something to cling to; and then the question is not answered but suppressed. Then you go on believing in the answer, and the question remains deep down in your unconsciousness like a wound. The healing has not happened.
If you remain with the question, I'm not saying that you will receive the answer. Nobody has ever received any answer. If you remain with the question, by and by the question disappears. Not that the answer is received; there is no answer. There cannot be, because life is a mystery. If there is any answer, then life will not be a mystery.
It has no answer to it, it cannot be solved. It is not a puzzle, it is a mystery. And that is the difference between a puzzle and a mystery. A puzzle can be solved, howsoever difficult it is to solve. A mystery cannot be solved - not that it is difficult. It is very simple, but its nature is such that it cannot be solved.
Remain with the question - alert, aware, not seeking, not trying to find an answer. Very arduous it is, but if you can do that... it can be done. I have done it. And all those who have dissolved their questions have done it. The very awareness, the fire of awareness, burns the question. The sun of awareness melts the question; it disappears, it evaporates. One day, suddenly, you find you are there, and the question is not there. Not that the question is replaced by an answer. There is none. But the question has simply disappeared. You are there and without a question. That is the answer.
You, without a question, is The answer. Not that you will be able to say who you are - you will laugh at the very question. The question has become absurd. In the first place, the very asking was wrong. But right now you cannot understand that; you have to ask. You have to ask very intensely. Ask the question, but don't ask for The answer.
That is the difference between theology and religion. Theology gives you the answer; religion gives you awareness. Theology supplies you answers - ready-made, manufactured, polished, perfect. Religion doesn't give you any answer; it simply helps you to penetrate deep into the question. The deeper you go into the question, the more you find it is melting, it is disappearing. And when the question has disappeared, a tremendous energy is released within you. You ARE there, with no question.
And when there is no question, of course, there is no mind. Mind is the questioner. When there is no questioning, the mind has also disappeared - pure consciousness - just the sky without any clouds, the flame without any smoke.
That's what God is. That's what a Buddha is; that's what a Christ is. "

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - Nothing Hidden in Existence!

Existence is so open.. Only You are Closed

"People deceive themselves in millions of ways. They waste their time in millions of ways. Hoping some how then can enter the temple through some back door. There exists none. There is no back door to the temple.. only the front door. You may find many backdoors. But they will never lead you to the inner shrine.

Back doors don’t exist in existence. Because existence doesn’t believe in hiding… Look… everything is so open.. The secret is so open.. Nothing is hidden.. everything is open. Only you need eyes to see it, Awareness to read it and ability to enjoy it. Everywhere everything is open secret. Nothing whatsoever is hidden from the very beginning.

Existence is open.. only you are closed.

The whole universe is written everywhere. In each blade of grass you can find the signature of the divine. And if you can understand a blade of grass, you understood it all.. root and all.

In each part the total is contained, the whole is contained.Anywhere you move.. you move into the whole. But it will depend on your understanding. How you will read it. Life is really short. And much has to be done. So, don’t fool around."
-Osho
