Spiritoon - Who You Are...

Chetna, Maya and I were in Zorba Studios, Dallas, TX last week to participate in an Osho meditation camp lead by Bodhisattva Swami Anand Arun. With many wonderful sannyasins and friends from various parts of the world, it was an amazing 3 days of Love, Laughter and Meditation ( and lots of snow!) in the presence of magnificent Boddhi being Swami Arun. Yes, Dallas did get several inches of snow!

In a way, I think of Bodhi beings are those who remain in this "world" in order to help fellow travelers like you and me. They constantly remind us of our true nature (who we really are) and so skillfully inspire and direct each seeker towards his/her awakening. We all sleep so deeply that Osho's "earth shattering" meditations can only shake us from this long sleep of many lives. Thank you Osho! Thank you Arun Swamiji!

I am reminded of Osho's words from the book "Dogen, the Zen Master: A Search and a Fullfillment, Chapter 7. Live One Day As a Buddha"

".. do you understand that you are moving towards death? Each moment death is coming closer and closer. And have you gathered anything that you will be able to take with you when you die?

Except meditation, you cannot take any of your possessions with you. All that is outside of you will be left behind. Only the inner flame ... if you have found it, if you have become conscious of it, then there is no death for you. But if you are not conscious of it you will think also, as others are thinking, that you are dead.

It is simply a question of thinking. If you know yourself exactly, you are never dead. But you never go inwards. You have simply forgotten that there is an immense space waiting for you, and that is your real home. All our efforts are efforts to make you acquainted again with your real home, which will not be burned on a funeral pyre, which will remain until eternity, in different forms or in formlessness. That is your buddhahood."

Spiritoon - Human Nature

I found Osho's understanding of human mind is much deeper and wider than all that of Freud, Jung, Skinner put together. Psychoanalysts keep on analyzing the human mind from within the boundary lines(of the mind). But Osho goes far and beyond the Mind itself.

The Obvious!

"the mind is not interested in the obvious. The mind is not excited by the simple, because deep down mind is nothing but your ego, and the nourishment of the ego comes from the challenge of the far away. The more arduous, the more torturous, the more difficult an achievement is, the more the mind becomes fascinated. It is ready to go to the farthest star, not even bothering what it is going to get there; that is irrelevant." ~ Book: Om Mani Padme Hum , OSHO.

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - Original Face - Beijing 2008 Style

“Nobody has any face. Faces are masks. We are hiding behind those faces. And that
facelessness is called the original face. Just think, just meditate a little: you look through the eyes, but the one who looks through the eyes has no eyes. You smell through the nose, but the one who smells through the nose has no nose. You eat through the mouth, you digest through the body, but the one who is behind, who feels the hunger, who feels the satisfaction of eating and being wellfed, has no mouth and no stomach. It is very strange to come around it – it is very shaking... uprooting. It can be maddening.”

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - The Followers

"If You want to reach the Master avoid all the Teachers" ~Osho

"Love.
All crutches bar the way.
Shun all support and then you will receive His.
He is the only help for the helpless.
There is no other guide but Him – all other guides
are obstacles on the path.
If you want to reach the Master avoid all teachers.
Don’t be afraid to make yourself empty
for that alone is the door,
that alone is the path –
and that alone is the destination.
The courage to be empty
is all that is needed to become one with the all.
Those who are full stay empty,
and those who are empty become filled –
such are His mathematics.
Do not consider doing anything –
through doing you can never reach Him,
nor through chanting,
A Cup of Tea 83 Osho
CHAPTER 1.
nor through austerity,
for He is already here!
Stop and see!
To do is to run,
not to do is to halt.
Yes! If He were far away we could run to meet Him,
but He is the nearest of the near!
If we had lost Him we could search for and find
Him,
hut to us He has never been lost! "

~ Osho, A Cup of Tea - Letter written by Osho 1962-1971

Happy Guru Purnima to all of you. Love you all!! -Sudi

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - Got Flu??

Happy 2008 - Are you the Man on the Beach ??

"A camel keeper once came across a man walking across the Sahara Desert, wearing only a bathing costume.
”How far is it to the sea?” asked the man.
”About five hundred miles to the north,” said the camel keeper.
”Bugger me,” said the man, ”I will have to stay on the beach!”

If you go on living inside your mind you will have to live on the beach, you will never reach to the ocean. It is not five hundred miles, not even five – it does not even exist, it is a mirage!.

You can either go on projecting your fantasies, dreams, expectations on life and remain fast asleep OR see the very point and be awake. If you are awake, you have the quality of a Buddha,Jesus,Krishna or Mohammed.

Then things will be different, totally different. And there will not be any need to find anything special, to find any meaning. In the small things of life there is meaning, there is great significance. Each pebble on the seashore becomes a diamond. Then there are sermons in every stone and songs hidden in every rock and scriptures everywhere, because the world is full of God, overflowing with godliness. Yes, for the first time, you will know what life is and how beautiful it is and how blissful it is and what a benediction and a gift of God it is." ~OSHO

May 2008 bring more awareness into your life...creating an opportunity for your own awakening!!

Love to you all... Happy 2008!!!

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - Meditation is a Mirror

"Meditation is a mirror –
and the most faithful one.
Whoever goes into meditation
risks a confrontation with himself:
The mirror of meditation never lies,
and it does not flatter.
It is impartial and innocent
and it never projects anything.
It only faithfully shows your real original face,
the face we never show to the world,
the face that we ourselves have forgotten.
So it is possible
that you yourself
may not be able to recognize it the first time!
But do not escape from it.
Face it and you will come to know it and recognize it.
This confrontation is the first test of courage on
the inner way.
So when it comes to happen –
rejoice and feel blessed"

~OSHO, A Cup of Tea - Letters written from 1962 - 1971.

Jesus !! The LOVE that is

"On the path of love celebration grows of its own accord, and dancing and singing, and life is no more a struggle but a let-go. And there are things which happen only when you are in a let-go. All that is great happens only when you are in a let-go. If you are in an effort to conquer, you will conquer only small things.

Conquerors can become at the most Adolf Hitlers, Napoleons or Alexanders. They never become Buddhas – they cannot. To become a Buddha or to become a Christ, one has to be not in the mood of conquering at all, but, on the contrary, to be conquered by god one has to be feminine. That is the secret of love: to be feminine, to be passive, to be open, vulnerable, ready to absorb, ready to be pregnant, just to be a womb, and all that is needed comes. That’s what I call trust – that it comes; whenever your real need is there, it comes. It never comes by your search. It comes only when your real need is there. When you are really thirsty, your thirst will be quenched.

That’s what Jesus means when he says ’Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Ask and it shall be given. Seek and ye shall find.’ But by ’seeking’ he does not mean an active search, because he says ’The kingdom of god is within you.’

How can you seek it actively? Where can you go to search for it? There is nowhere to go. One has to relax into oneself. The seeking has to be passive,
the knocking has to be passive. It has to be a kind of prayer in love. "

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - Loving Thoughts !

" THE MORE YOU TALK AND THINK ABOUT IT, THE FURTHER ASTRAY YOU WANDER FROM THE TRUTH.

THINKING IS AWANDERING AWAY, going astray. Whenever you think about anything, immediately
you have started going away. I am here, you can be with me – but if you start thinking about me you are on a journey going on and on, and the more you get into thinking the further away you will be.

Thinking is a way to escape from reality; it gives you an inner direction, it makes you a path in your
mind and you move on it. A thinker is never here and now, he is never in the present, he is always somewhere else. A meditator is always here and now, he is nowhere else. That’s why thinking is the only barrier in meditation. You have to become aware, and by and by, the more you become aware, the more you stop cooperating with thinking.

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - Masks.. Costumes.. Personality

"You may not be aware that the word ‘personality’ comes from Greek. It means the mask. In Greek drama, in the ancient days, every actor used to have a mask. Persona means mask, and from persona has come the word personality. Unless you drop your personality you will not be able to find your individuality.

Individuality is given by existence; personality is imposed by the society. Personality is social convenience. Society cannot tolerate individuality, because individuality will not follow like a sheep. Individuality has the quality of the lion; the lion moves alone.

The sheep are always in the crowd, hoping that being in the crowd will feel cozy. Being in the crowd one feels more protected, secure. If somebody attacks, there is every possibility in a crowd to save yourself – but alone? Only the lions move alone. And every one of you is born a lion, but the society goes on conditioning you, programming your mind as a sheep. It gives you a personality, a cozy personality, nice, very convenient, very obedient.

Society wants slaves, not people who are absolutely dedicated to freedom. Society wants slaves because all the vested interests want obedience. The people who are in power, the people who have riches, the people who are the heads of religions, they all want one thing: you should not raise your head. You should live like a slave, pulled and pushed to this side and that side. You should not resist. You should not assert your being, your intelligence, your individuality."

- One seed makes the whole earth green, Chapter 4 , Osho 1985

Sudi narayan's Spiritoon - Open your eyes and See!!

"Even in fast asleep you are sleeping in Truth .Unconscious, you are in Truth; conscious, you are in Truth. So the curtain is not on Truth itself, it is on your eyes... as if you are standing before the sun with closed eyes. The curtain is not on the sun, it is just that your eyelids are functioning as a barrier. Open the eyes and the sun has always been there, just waiting for you."

"it is a question of becoming aware. It is not a question of searching; it is a question of transforming your being. Bliss is not there somewhere waiting for you to discover it; it is already here: all that you need are the eyes to see it. Those eyes are the eyes of awareness. And all meditations are devices to create awareness in you, to shake you, to shock you, so that your sleep can be broken."

Sudi Narayan's Spiritoon - If I weren't into Meditation..

"Life has to be transformed into a continuous meditation. Meditation is not a question of something one does for one hour every day, and then for twenty-three hours one can remain unaware, No. That won’t help, and that one hour will be false, pseudo; it cannot win against twenty-three hours of
mechanicalness. One has to spread meditation all over one’s life. Walking, eating, talking, listening, in whatsoever you are doing, be there in tremendous attentiveness, as if that’s all, as if life and death depend on it, as if there is no other moment, as if the next moment is not going to come.
Then the whole energy pulsates in the present moment. That pulsation is subodha, and that’s what brings one to reality, to that which is. And it is the only thing that can give bliss, joy, what Jesus calls the kingdom of god."

Guru Purnima July 29th

Guru Purnima is the day when one expresses his gratitude to his Guru.Osho says that a guru is the one who liberates us and with whom we are in deep love, faith and reverence. A guru is a presence. Through him one gets the first glimpse of divinity. A guru creates, transforms and gives a new birth to a seeker so that with complete trust one can follow his guru while traveling through many unknown paths and doors and opening many unknown locks. Speaking on the significance of a guru, Osho says that a guru’s blessing is a vital phenomenon. Through a guru one can look into his own future and can be aware of his own destiny. Through him one starts coming up like a seed trying to sprout towards the sky.

Happy Guru Purnima Day!!
