Man is weak until and unless he becomes aware of the forces around him and within him that trigger the chain of cause and effect. He remains a slave and an ignorant, unless he realises that there are many things that are affecting his decisions and hence what is being done is not from his own self, but in deep sleep. So the weakness grows and grows till the time man learns to separate himself from what is happening within him and only then he is able to master the outer world.
The planetary forces, human emotions, the stream of unconscious memory of all the past actions that has been done willingly and unwillingly, everything affects the judgement. So, it goes on and on like an endless cycle, like a loop. Till the time, all that man identifies with, falls off like the dead leaves of a tree.
This is of-course a great journey to make. It is like standing on one shore of an ocean and watching for the other! But no task is impossible, one only needs to take small steps with all his heart and with the strongest will of them all, so that one day this will and this strength can merge and become one, or it is rather wrong to say that there is a need of a merger, because they say there never had been a separation.
Life is mysterious, and mystery has a beauty in itself. You can not hurry to reach anywhere. Because hastiness is but a sign of a man in deep sleep, who is not aware and who is not alert. The only jewel man is born with is the ability to be aware, to feel and to be alert with will, to have a choice, which separates us from animals as well.
Man from where he stands can only either become an animal and a slave or a master of the forces within him and the forces around him. Give in to pleasure, food, money, position, power and lust and you are on the road to slavery. Even the thoughts that we think of our own, are not our own, scientists have acknowledged the fact that human subconscious mind is able to receive thoughts from other people and the exchange is non stop, every moment either you want it or not. So it is wise, to examine carefully what you believe. Because it may be possible that all that you believed was never your own, but rather you were forced to believe. For example, a song that you keep on hearing again and again as an advertisement on radio or television, which used to sound foolish and harsh, will soon be a song that you would find yourself whispering.
It may feel endless, it may feel like a journey unending, but enjoy, every moment of it, enjoy every second of it, be light, like a child. because the moment you become serious is the moment you lose it all and fall into the trap of this illusion. Just walk and bless the beauty of the rivers, of the mountains, of the the trees, of the songs that the birds are singing, of the sunlight, that is getting filtered from the trees and falling on to your cheeks and the cool breeze that is whispering in your ear. Soon, you will realise that you have reached he once said, if you kept walking like this.
To beloved Osho, and to the greatest master of 21st century. The man, the controversy and the legend.
