MIRROR CALLED OSHO

THE KINDS OF PEOPLE AND THE MIRROR CALLED OSHO
It’s just not possible to say anything about Osho-whatever is said about Osho is true about
that person who says it and not about Osho.
Osho is just a mirror which has reflected the life he way it exactly is- with words, with silence,
with gestures.
Osho is an absolute expression of the existence.
Osho is the mouth of existence to express the life in its entirety
Osho is a prayer and a prayer heard to express the life in its aggregate.
Osho is a song and a song sung to express the life in its integrity.
Osho is a dance and a dance performed to express the life in its wholeness.
Osho is an absolute answer to ignorance.
When one looks in to the mirror and comments, one is commenting about oneself and not the
mirror. This is true with the mirror called Osho.
We tend to see our own reflection in Osho and conjecture of Osho the way we are.
It gives us a false feeling that we are commenting about Osho.
There is no way to say anything about Osho.
Osho is not enlightened if we are not by ourselves.
Only our prejudices, inhibitions and apprehension enveloped in Ego is reflected in the mirror
called Osho.
Man is in a constant stress between the divinity pulling upwards and the animalistic instincts
pulling downwards.
If the people about Osho were to be categorized, it would be something like this.
1. OSHO? WHO? NEVER HEARD THIS NAME.
These kinds of people are nothing but a breathing corpse.
The kinds of people love to be pulled driven by their animalistic instincts.
Such people are the residents of a dark world who only vegetate, defecate and produce
children. Such people are the victims of very localized consciousness.
Their egos live, they do not.
Such people lack discriminative intelligence and are just a step above being called as animals.
Their life is embellished with sorrows, misery, grief, ruefulness, sadness and servility.
The joy, celebration, rejoices, ecstasy are their nightmare.
They are mainly the cause of wars, battles, altercation, frays, and trifles.
They are not aware of their being. They are the salves of their mind.
Hostility and violence are their chief symptoms of doing.
Such stolid people are averse to any transformation.
They are merely the puppets in the hands o f lust having a destructive approach towards life.
These kinds of people don’t live the life only live the characters having delusional personality.
Such people use to have fixed dogmas, rules and norms to follow to any extreme of triviality.
These kinds of people have well defined predictability.
2. HAVE HEARD ABOUT OSHO BUT NOT
INTERESTED
Such people are more timid than the first category sharing their all qualities.
Such people are averse to freedom and tend to satisfy themselves with lame philosophy and their
fixed religious dogmas and rites. These kinds of people tend to follow certain commandment and
tend to be unscientific when it comes to be religious which is merely a set of rules.
These kinds of people are afraid of accepting the responsibility of their being what they are.
They are also the doing oriented than the being oriented.
Their whole life is nothing but a quivering vulnerability. Such people may initiate the revolution
which is social by nature and not the rebellion which is individual by nature.
Such kind of people move by the conclusion of the mind.
Merely an idea of awareness, emptiness, meditativeness and aloneness is very intimidating to
them.
Their motto of money, power and esteem is most supreme and of utter importance to them.
Their creativity is a compulsive outcome than a joy out of meditativeness.
3. OSHO LOVERS, OSHO FOLLOWERS, OSHO
ADMIRERS
These are the people who seem to be breathing human beings.
These are the people who have started doubting their conditioning and bondage.
They are the people voracious for that which is.
These are the people who have sensed the difference spending and living the life.
These are the people who want to transform their personality to individuality.
These are the people who wish to go from falsity to the truth.
These are the people who want their dark corners to be lighted.
These are the people who want to break free from their shackles of conditioning.
These are the people who wish to go even beyond witnessing.
These are the people who aspire for selflessness.
These are the people who are preparing themselves to get emptied even from the concept of God.
These are the people who are ready to surrender to the ultimate.
These are the people who are charmed to mysticism and the core of spirituality.
These are the people from whom one can expect compassion, love and care.
These are the people whose way of life mostly is meditation.
These are the people who are looking for the boat to traverse the infinite ocean to be one with it.
They are the people with sensitivity and sensibility and a flair for discriminative intelligence.
Owing to their much spiritual inclination, most of them are not as successful on materialistic
front.
This category is an amalgamation of various mind sets intelligence being common among
majority of them.
These types of people are very sensible and creative who can see a little more than what meets
the eye.
They are prone to openness of experience within certain limits.
They usually tend to talk about nothingness, emptiness, consciousness, futility of this life, life
being a celebration, love, compassion, kindness, serving poor.
They still belong to having and doing group than being group.
They have mild playfulness, mild seriousness of sincerity, and mild approach to humor.
They are more vulnerable to get dejected, daunted, frustrated, elated and being mirthful.
These kinds of people have been an instrument in sustaining the morality and ethics in the
society.
Some of these kinds of people do fall victims to the compulsive desire to be a Guru or a spiritual
leader.

The seventh is meditativeness, aloneness, mystical peak experiences that happen when you are
alone, when you are absolutely alone inside yourself.
And the eighth is love, relatedness, relationship.
And the ninth is transcendence, Tao, no ego, no-mind, nobodiness, nothingness, in tune with the
whole.
OSHO~ Osho-A saint comes: I see. A sinner comes: I see. I am just a mirror, so whatever is
in front of me is reflected. But the mirror is not a film plate; the moment you have moved,
the mirror is empty again. In my room I am sitting empty. Most of my day is just a mirror,
mirroring nothing. Only when I come to you, or to some interview, to the press, the media,
then my mirror reflects.
. I am just a mirror – a mirror does nothing.
In language it seems as if a mirror also is doing something – it reflects. Linguistically,
reflection is an action – but the mirror is not doing anything.
When you are in front of the mirror, it reflects you. When you have moved, the reflection
disappears. The mirror is simply there; whatever comes in front of it is reflected in it.
You are living in darkness, in ignorance, in blindness. I know exactly that I am not doing
anything. On my own I am just an empty mirror. If you want something to be echoed, you
come in front of me, you ask a question. If some answer arises it is a simple happening –
not a doing.
Just as water flows downwards, the sun rises, the birds start singing and the flowers start
opening. The sun is not doing anything. It is not knocking on each bird’s nest – “Get up
and start singing…” Just the presence of the sun – and something happens all over
existence. Life starts awakening, responding.
I am simply a presence.
