Chapter 20: Osho38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MoGQG46jm
“Life is dull without love; it becomes bright with love. Life is dark without love; with love, it becomes full of light. Love is the name of your inner light. That flame is already there but surrounded by much smoke. And the smoke consists of memories, imagination, thoughts, desire. The whole mind creates a long list, a thick wall around the flame, a thick wall of smoke. The only way to reach your flame is to disperse this smoke. And that's what Sanyas is all about getting rid of the smoke, getting rid of thoughts and desires and becoming so silent and desireless, as if there is nothing to be achieved, nowhere to go. In that relaxed state, the smoke starts dispersing of its own accord because we are not co-operating with it. It is through our cooperation that it lives, gets food and nourishment, and is nurtured. Once there is a disconnection, once you are no longer feeding it, it is bound to disperse. And as it starts dispersing, clarity arises, brightness arises, intelligence arises, and life becomes full of meaning and significance. Life is life only when love is burning bright inside you, when the flame of love is so bright that it starts radiating around you, that it starts reaching others, that people can feel it. Your love becomes almost so tangible that people can touch it. Then it is not only a blessing to you, it is a blessing to everybody else too. A real man is always an enrichment to the world, to existence; he contributes much. And unless you contribute something, you will never feel blissful. It is through contributing something to existence that you participate in the work of the Creator because you yourself become a Co-creator. To be a Creator is to be part of God, there is no other way.”
Osho is in agreement with The Course. Sanyas is the process of the Holy Spirit undoing our ego, which Osho refers to as getting rid of the smoke. Bob
