Osho Rajneesh Turning Water into Wine Without License

Osho Rajneesh is delivering some significant points in this video but in his own indirect and humorous way. When Osho Rajneesh is saying things about Jesus that he converted water into wine without any license then he does not mean any disrespect to Jesus. He is just trying to say that people love Jesus just because of their miracles. If, miracles are removed from their lives then your love will simply disappear for them.




People usually want to see something different in a person to be worshiped. Why a person like Jesus would be loved who cannot cure sick people or who is not able to make dead people alive. Your love is just imaginative. You love Jesus just because you know him performing some things which cannot be explained by the laws of physics or by medical field. It is certain that he would not have been able to perform such things. It is just our imagination of Jesus which can perform such acts. We try to fancy lives of such people to attract other people towards it. If, I am born in a particular religion and I want to promote it then people can generally ask what is so special about your religion. One cannot reply just like we do not have anything special in it. Till you do not add supernatural powers into it, people generally do not get impressed with it. The same things happened with Jesus too. We have converted Jesus into a being doing super things and it has corrupted his true identity. No religion wants to present itself simple and sober.

I know that most of the people can disagree with the statement that Jesus did not have any such powers. It is just because of conditioning of their minds from the very beginning. When they did not know anything about Jesus then they were told that Jesus could do miracles. It created love for Jesus in our minds just because of such tasks he performed. Now, this love which is just present because of those tasks do not let us to accept that Jesus could not do anything like that. We will have to leave both things together. If, we accept that it is true then our love for Jesus will disappear with it too. The other way is to love Jesus through another means. Osho Rajneesh wants to say that we need to know Jesus because of his love and compassion for people. At present, we do not have a true relationship with Jesus.

Osho Rajneesh: For Thirty-two Years I Have Been Absolutely Nothing

In this video, Osho Rajneesh is discussing significant points. His vision on enlightenment and nothingness in this video are strongly recommended to people. I will try to add my understanding of this video too.



All of our current society is based on influencing each other. Actually, we do not have a true individual in this society. We are only getting corrupted individuals. What can we more expect through influence? Teachers and Parents are influencing kids according to their own understanding of life and morality but they do not let a kid to grow with his own wisdom. Children today are getting influenced by different celebrities and people treat such people like Gods and even people cannot imagine how such celebrities are miserable in their lives but they seem to be enjoying their stardom.

People get influenced from different celebrities because of number of reasons. People usually think that the celebrities are loving their stardom and people usually see a big smile on their faces. This makes us to misunderstand things. Celebrities are just normal people who are not yet satisfied with their lives still wanting more and more stardom. They usually think that more will gratify them but it does not happen. I remember one Osho quote "The distance between the things you have now and the things you want to have in the future always remain constant". It is just the matter of understanding that we do not need to get influenced from anybody. Being like somebody else will make our life miserable and the more one is connected with himself, the more is the gratitude towards whole existence.

We should influence a child for not getting influenced from anybody. It can be called as another type of influence by some people but it will let the child just to have his own wisdom and we will see how he will blossom in his life. Osho Rajneesh is replying in the video to one of the question where he was asked that if a system without a belief system is also a belief system.
Osho Rajnesh replied no in his answer because it does not programs our mind but it deprograms our mind and leave people to choose their own path.

Osho Rajneesh: The Philosophical Frog and the Centipede

Osho Rajneesh is telling a funny story about a frog and a centipede. A frog stops a centipede during his morning walk and ask him about his walking with hundred legs. Later, the story turns out to be disastrous for the centipede. Listen to the video to know the full story but I will explain the message given in the video by Osho Rajneesh through different examples and words.

Osho Rajneesh wants us to be ourselves. There are lots of fundamentalists present in the world, who are creating belief systems, fears and illogical moral values in our mind. People keep on believing them which cost them disorientation from their natural behavior. We all are more or less suffering like a confused centipede. Forced morality and our own wisdom mingle with each other and we are confused now. We exactly do not know what to do now. We can sense sometimes that there is something wrong in life. There is something missing but we are not able to find out what it is. The only problem is the borrowed morality from somebody.



We are having an education system, where children are taught to be somebody else. People may argue with the last written sentence but it is true to some extent at least. When any education system is writing things like "Alexander The Great", then we are motivating children to be like him. It does not matter if he was good or bad because it is a different topic but the main matter is the source of influence. We are at least motivating an innocent mind to be like "Alexander The Great" and it is a start of violence when we knowingly or unknowingly influence somebody to be somebody else. Some children in the countries like India are getting punished, when they are not doing well in remembering the history of Alexander like people. Children are getting punished, when they say or do anything against fundamental ideas. We do not leave any opportunity to stimulate somebody else in children.

Fundamental ideas came from philosophy which is very dangerous because most of the times it comes up with should and should not. It mostly emphasizes on doing or not doing certain things. So, it creates fixed facts for us. It creates facts that does not synchronize with our own wisdom and as an end result it creates a conflict within us. It is the only reason that I love Osho Rajneesh because he is not a philosopher at all. Some people say that they like Osho Rajneesh's philosophy but I say that he is not a philosopher and neither I am a philosopher. Osho Rajneesh himself said in one of his discourses that he is not a philosopher. A philosopher points towards certain ideas and belief systems but Osho Rajneesh makes you to jump into nothingness and into an infinite at the same time. I would say nothingness because he encourages to remove all prejudices and fixed ideas. It leaves you in a state of nothingness and whatever comes out of this nothingness is our own wisdom. There are infinite possibilities in an existence. Whatever this existence wants us to be, that will come out from this nothingness automatically.

All the religions active today misinterpreted things. If, a religion is understood in a proper way then it makes you jump into a vast ocean rather than a small stream of water. Fundamentalists of religion come up with some written words that were misunderstood by them. This has brought the whole humanity in kind of a bondage, sacrifice and fear that we do not become what we are supposed to be but become what we are not supposed to be.

Osho Rajneesh: Hindi to English Translation Youtube Video

Osho explains the meaning of selfishness in this video and how this selfishness can bring real compassion for others. Osho says that the only method to bring happiness in your life is meditation. The original discourse was in Hindi but I am going to translate it in English.

Title:Dance, Sing and Fall in Meditation

[0:00-2:08] Be joyous and spread joy. Remember that the one who is joyous can spread joy. A sadistic can only spread sadness. We can spread only what we are and even if we want, we cannot spread what we are not. It is not that people do not want to make others happy. Which parents do want their kids to feel miserable? Which husband does want his wife to feel miserable? Which wife does want her husband to feel miserable? Which children want their parents to feel miserable? None, but it is not a question about your wish. Only misery is bound to increase. If,neem tree desires to have sweet mangoes or prickles desire to become roses then it is not possible. There is nothing to do with your wish. You want to make people joyous but you are only able to make them feel miserable. You want this whole earth to become a paradise but it turns more into a hell daily. That is why, I want to say my message to you. Before you go to spread joy, you have to play flute of joy within you. Firstly, a fountain of joy should prevail within you.



[2:09-3:39] I want to make you selfish. The word selfish is a lovely word. It has become dirty. People wrongly explained its meaning. Selfish (Suarth in hindi) means meaning (arth) of self . The one who knows the meaning of self is selfish. I tell you to be selfish because your becoming of selfish has the only possibility to turn you into the one who cares about others from heart. If, you become fully selfish and flowers of self grow within you, flame of joyousness burns then you will automatically care about others that is why I do not teach serving but I teach selfishness. I do not say to serve others. You would not be able to. If, you do then you will do a mistake. You will go to serve but you will return back harming them. You will try to create but you will do a disaster. You are itself wrong then whatever will you do, will be wrong. That is why, I do not put much stress on your acts but I put stress on you. What you do is not important but what you are is important.

[3:40-4:50] Be joyous and there is only one method to be so. The one and only one. There was never a second method, currently not have and never will be. There is no method to be joyous except meditation. Nobody becomes happy through wealth but if the one who can meditate has money then even money can produce happiness. Nobody can ever be happy from palaces. But if, the one who can meditate is present in a palace then palace can produce happiness too. If, a meditator is present in a hut then a hut turns into a palace. If, a meditator is present in a hell even then he is present in a paradise. There is no way to send a meditator into a hell. Wherever he is , the paradise is there because at each moment a paradise is coming out from him. The rays of paradise are coming out from him and scattering. Like flowers grow on trees, paradise grows on a meditator.

[4:51-6:32] My message is that fall in meditation and do not treat meditation like a serious act. It has been a mistake to treat meditation like a serious work. Treat meditation very lightly. Take it in playfulness. "Haseeba Kheliba Kareeba Dhyanam", remember this saying of Gorkhnath. Laugh, play and meditate. Meditate while playing and laughing. Do not sit in a serious mood to meditate. This whole earth is filled with such dead people. People around are very serious and if you too sit seriously then forgive me. This earth cannot tolerate more miserable and sad people. This earth now wants singing and dancing meditators. This earth wants one religion whose most fundamental thing would be joy and celebration.

Osho Rajneesh: Hindi to English Translation Youtube Video

Title: Where there is silence, there is pilgrimage

[0:00-01:14] Your whole education, society and moral values teach you to run after somebody else. They teach you to be passionate about money, designation, respect and fame. It is our bad luck that we could not make such a society yet which can teach you those mysterious things to identify yourself and there is no big designation than that.

[1:14-3:12] It is a strange world where the kings are wandering like beggars and those who were meant to be kings are literally beggars. Just a little effort is needed but your society and moral values scare you saying that "Identifying yourself takes lots of lives and it happens very rarely. It happens only in lives of saviors. It happens in life of tirthankar, savoir, saint or son of God. You are just normal beings. You do not enter in this mess. You do not try to solve this problem. You cannot resolve it".



[3:12-4:37] I say that it is your right since your birth and it does not need to be a tirthankar but if this incident happens, you will be a tirthankar. You do not need to be a savior to know yourself but if this incident happens, you will become a savior. Being a savior is not the first condition but it is an end result. I just want your one hour. You are not that miser who cannot give me an hour out of twenty four hours. Nobody is that much miser.

[4:38-7:34] And I do not say that go to temple and worry about going to mosque because my vision is that temples, mosques, gurudawaras and churches have proved fatal. They created a belief within you that God is not in your home but I say that wherever you go, God is there. So, wherever you sit become a pilgrimage. Just sit silently. If, you feel restlessness then do not feel panic. People are filled with so much impatience. An ordinary education which can at most make you a clerk in an office, you are ready to spend one third of your life for such a job. After spending twenty five years in the universities, colleges and schools, people roam around the offices. You don't even think then that I am just asking your one hour and your presence with in that hour. Your presence in that hour will make you to reach in the nectar experience and you will get something permanent to obtain whom this place is a school.

OSHO RAJNEESH: Psychologists Know Nothing About Themselves Youtube Video

Osho Rajneesh: Psychologists Know Nothing About Themselves Youtube Video

Once upon a time, there was a poor couple. Both of them were very hospitable. If, guest would come to their house then both would not let the guest to leave without serving them food. As they belonged to a poor family. So, it was not easy for them to serve food to the guests. Once, a guest visited their house but they did not have anything to offer to the guest but the man asked his wife to visit a shopkeeper in their village and told her to tell the shopkeeper that we will pay the bill later.




So, his wife went to that shopkeeper and asked for things. As she did not have money to pay the bills, she asked him to wait for the money for some days. The shopkeeper was not happy with this deal. Some bad intentions came in his mind for her and he asked her to come to his house at night in return of the bought things. She could not understand anything at all as an average person would get a wrong signal. So, she agreed. She came back to her house and tell all to her husband. Her husband was a very simple man too. He also could not understand about the bad intentions of the shopkeeper. So, he himself took his wife to the shopkeeper at night. The shopkeeper could not imagine their dumb behavior.

Psychologists are like this shopkeeper. Not in the sense of their intentions but in case of his judgement towards the couple. He regarded them as dumb because both of them could not understand his meaning but he himself could not understand their simplicity too. Society wants all of us to be clever because without being clever one cannot survive in this society. So, clever attitude is enforced on people and it disturbs their innocence. Once upon a time, the man was getting married for the second time in his life. Priest told him to kiss the bride. The man yelled loudly "shut up, I am not getting married for the first time. I already know this." It is natural for all of us to laugh at such behavior because we think that such things are not meant to be said but it also reflects something about the innocence of that man and we laugh at such innocence. Such innocence does not have mind thing into it and they are far more close to Godliness than all of us.

The one who is as simple as the couple of the above story would be taken to a psychologist today. There is no doubt that psychologists can help those whose consciousness has fallen down but they cannot help those who are more conscious than an average human.

If Jesus Christ, Buddha and all similar kinds of gems come in front of a psychologist then he will be ready to do his treatment on them because he would not see them behaving like normal individuals. If, he is told about them being special then he will be scared from them like in the incident told by Osho. I think this is one of the reason for Osho saying that psychologists do not know about themselves. Their consciousness level or self awareness is nothing as comparing to an enlightened soul. It is not only about them but it is also about us. We will definitely want people like Jesus and Buddha to be taken to psychologist because we would not be able to understand them. Their consciousness level is so high that the things they know are fictional to us and the things we do are close to the animals. People fighting world wars show all the traits of animals. If, a fight is fought in self awareness then it may not be considered bad but we fight wars without the awareness of our own being. Osho says, we forget most of the time that we are.

Osho is talking about the double suicidal rate of psychologists as comparing to other professions. He is telling about the facts existed long time ago. So, I decided to check back and surfed some pages about it and I found that the condition is almost the same now. They still do not know about themselves. They are far more insane than a normal individual but they just know some learned methodologies to counsel somebody.

Osho Rajneesh: Hindi to English Translation Youtube Video

I am going to translate here another youtube video from Hindi to English. The video is not itself a complete discourse but the lines being said are precious.



Title: What is life?

[0:00-1:16] Regarding life, we have agreed what others say. Others say that this is life. Doing struggle, earning money , building big houses, travelling from the earth to moon and die. These are the things said by people. Our same behavior since centuries, intelligent people, politicians and mob gathered around have been saying this thing since centuries. And in this mob`s pressure, every man believes that this is life but I want to say that this is not a life at all. It is even worst than getting die. It has no relation with life at all. Life is totally a different matter. This is not life but it is just a living. It is just earning a living. This living is valid only if one is searching for life otherwise earning a living is worthless, it has no significance then. If, a seed has no capability to turn into a flower then it is of no use to add water and fertilizer to it.

[1:16-2:27] We add water and fertilizer so that a flower can blossom but we keep adding water and fertilizer. It seems like a plant has a single aim to get water and fertilizer. Flower does not blossom at all and fragrance does not mix with air. What is this life? One question is necessary to come up. Is this a life? It is very difficult to ask this question. It is easy to ask from others because people have ready made answers available. It is difficult to ask from ourselves because here we do not have ready made answers. Asking question from ourselves means passing through a long and tedious journey but we have bounded answers for the most significant questions of life.

[2:27-3:33] Everything has been taught to us. We have all cultivated answers and whenever life arises a question, we answer it suddenly or ask somebody to answer. The answer we give, has been acquired from somebody. This answer has been fed to us or has been put in our brain since our childhood. If, anybody says that this is not a life but a life of a soul is the real life then it is possible that such a person says so after he has read from a book or have heard it from his teacher. There are ninety nine chances out of hundred that this person is saying so after hearing it from some somebody. If, it has been said after hearing from somebody then there is no significance of this thing. Who knows that soul exist or not? You have to know yourself. Answers from others would not work. Who can say that everything do not die with the body. The one who knows can be the one who can say but what is the use of his saying for the others.

[3:33-5:24] The other's saying is not more than a vibrating sound from the sky. Somebody says that soul exist or I say that the soul exist but what is the use of this thing to you. There is no meaning at all. It is just like words vibrate and die. we remain a body after hearing these words, we do not become a soul. It is possible that you learn this word and when life asks a question then you reply that I am soul and immortal. This all will be non sense. This has to be known and this knowing will happen when this question enters in our life like a sharp arrow and it starts asking to our each part who am I? why am I here? We never asked it. If, we are thirsty then we ask with a force for water. We did not even ask with that much force "where is life"? People come to me and tell me that they want to search God. They do not even have that much thirst as they can have for water. They ask that where is enlightenment and they ask like somebody will lift them and make them reach there. Who can make others reach? Is God sitting somewhere like you go and get it or you can get him just by worshiping and reading prayers in a temple. If, he is then he is inside you. If, there is any truth available then it is present with you. You have to found it and this finding is tedious.

Osho Rajneesh: Hindi to English Translation Youtube Video

Osho Rajneesh: Hindi to English Translation Youtube Video

I am going to translate here youtube video of Osho Rajneesh from Hindi to English. I am not a linguist. I am pretty sure that I will be able to convey the overall message given in the video. It is obvious that listening to him directly is totally a different experience.

In this video, Osho gave the reference of Alexander. He tried to give his message through a story but he did not mean that this story did happen in the past. We all understand that he intentionally uses some names just to convey his message in a proper way. Here is the video and the translation.





Title: Freedom from the past and the future

[0:00-1:43] Great Alexander came to India. He saw a glittering object in the hands of a saint. He asked the saint what it is. The saint replied, I would not tell you. Actually, I would not be able to tell you because this secret is not supposed to be revealed. But Alexander forced him, he told him that he did not learn to get defeated in his life. I am supposed to know about it. Then, the saint replied that I can tell you one thing that your whole wealth has lesser weight than this small thing. Alexander immediately called for a large scale machine and whatever he had acquired in the robberies was placed on one side of the scale and the saint placed that small thing on the other side of the scale.

[1:43-2:54] Immediately, the saint's side went down and the Alexander's side rose high in the sky as if it was empty. Alexander went shocked watching such an incident. Alexander bowed himself in front of the saint and asked him to reveal the secret at any cost. Saint told him that it is very difficult to reveal the secret. It cannot be said that is why I am not saying it. But you threw yourself to my feet. So, I can tell you one more thing. The saint took a pinch of dirt and sprinkled on that shinny small thing. Then, don't know what happened, the side of the small object became lighter and started rising upwards where, the side of the Alexander went down.


[2:55:3:52] It left Alexander even in more amazement. He asked what is happening out here? You are making this puzzle even more complex and difficult. I want to say straight now that if you want to tell me the secret then you can otherwise, it is fine. The saint replied that now I can tell the secret because you seem to be filled with desire of knowing. Now, you are not forcing me to reveal the secret. This is not a special thing. It is a human eye. If, dirt comes in eye then it is worthless but if it is free of dirt then there is nothing worthy than it, it is even more worthy than the whole wealth of the earth.

[3:53-5:26] Enlightenment means your inner eye. There is not a much difficulty at all. There is some dirt of dreams present. Even this dirt is not a real dirt, it is dirt of thoughts, imaginations and desires. Dirt is not even a bit real, it is just like a smoke but this smoke has covered your inner eye. Like clouds cover the sun. If, clouds go away and sun appears, it is the only meaning of enlightenment. You are sun, The Buddhahood is your nature but you have accumulated lots of clouds of imaginations and desires around you. These clouds have no significance. These clouds did not get fulfilled and will not get fulfilled. You are surrounded with the stuff which is not present and never will be but you are missing something that is present and ever will be.

[5:26-7:21] Enlightenment means living in what is, seeing what really is and getting attached to what is present and to lose whatever is not present. Past is not present and we are bounded with the past. Past has passed and we have kept it with such a care like somebody would keep his wealth. Past is an ash which does not even have a spark. Everything had extinguished. We are lifting our past like the dead corpses or we are surrounded with the desires of the future. We are Sheikh Chilli, thinking this and that should happen. You are continuously spreading your dreams. And between these two non existential parts (past which is not anymore and future which has not happened yet), the small frajavascript:void(0)gment of the present is getting ruined. In between these two parts, your existence is getting ruined. Enlightened is one who is free from the past and the future. He would open his inner eye. Dirt would not present in his eye.

[7:21-15:12] Discourse starts second time.

Osho Rajneesh: I Respect Money Youtube Video

Osho Rajneesh: I Respect Money Youtube Video

I do not completely agree with the points said in this video by Osho Rajneesh but it is also an incomplete video. It is possible that if, I would watch the complete video then this sense of disagreement would not be present. This criticism is not an ordinary criticism but I just want to reflect that the things could be said in a better way. He intentionally chooses such a vague method to express himself. In this way, he is misunderstood most of the times. I will cover the different points covered by him from my perspective.

There is an old anecdote. A man went crazy. He was very rich and a great mathematician. He was sent to a madhouse. When he was taken to a madhouse, he did not have any sense of his brilliance and talent. He could just solve some ordinary problems of math. He lost his sense and consciousness so much that it was not easy for him to solve some easy problems of math but people around him were impressed. They did not know anything about math at all. So, a few mad people would gather around considering him a great mathematician. He would add, subtract, multiply or divide numbers which was the big achievement for the other people around him.

Osho's comment about classical music is also linked with the above story. I will be covering later in the post why I said so. When he is saying that classical music is needed to be learned then I do not agree with it. Classical music cannot be learned but it can be aroused from within. Osho used the wrong word at this place. The music that is learned will reach corrupted in other hands and it will go on corrupting.

I would say that there is a very strong connection between us and music. We have seven chakras in our body and there are seven basic notes of music also. Each chakra has its one note. If, you become aware about any chakra then the corresponding note comes into an action. Multiple notes can be related to one chakra too but out of them one is the most significant for each chakra. When, a person becomes aware of himself or all his seven chakras then orchestra comes into an action. The above lines have been taken as reference from The Orange Book of Osho. Here is my interpretation, I call this music a real classical music. Only an enlightened person like Osho can know what classical music is that arises from the silence. I think, when Osho is talking about classical music, he means the one that arises from within.



I would say classical music that is played today cannot be called fully classical because it is learnt. It is not arising from your own being but such music can show some signs or traits of spirituality within it. Classical music played today has some kind of weakened connection between us and our higher being. Classical music is like playing with the vast variation of notes and scales. Other types of musics are like fundamental math. We are not properly synchronous with ourselves. We gather around people playing such music because we are far from ourselves. We gather around like mad people gathered around a mad mathematician. It is natural to feel some kind of amusement in such music according to our present consciousness. So, there is no need to discard different kinds of music because at least they are capable to synchronize with our current consciousness. To understand classical music, we need higher consciousness and awareness.

Osho also commented about money in this video. I agree with his point because life is meant to be abundant. If, it is lacking any of the dimension then it is incomplete for me. Money is needed for lots of things. We should be able to control money but money should not control us. If, we are able to utilize and produce money properly then we can buy and produce lots of creative work.

Once Osho said that a poor man cannot understand good literature, paintings of Picasso and great music. Life needs to be at some kind of saturated state to understand such things. A poor man will remain busy in earning his two meals a day. This is the need of money. Once, you have used money to a great extent, vast questions can arise in your mind. You thought in the past that money would bring me happiness but it did not happen. A poor man would still be thinking that wealth will bring me happiness. So, he is more far from the truth. Let him earn enough money to come up at the stage where a vast question can arise in his mind.

Osho Rajneesh: There Are No Devils Youtube Video

Osho Rajneesh: There Are No Devils Youtube Video

I remember an old anecdote. Once, there was a man who was very poor. He was so poor that he could do anything to earn his two meals. Once, he went to a landlord in search of a work. Landlord replied him that I can give you work that can earn you two meals a day but you will have to call me God every time you see me and when you call me God, it should appear like you really mean it. You cannot talk about this deal with anybody and it should not look like a forceful order. The poor man had no choice at all. He had to do something for his survival. So, he signed this deal. Then, the years passed and the children of the poor man grew up. They naturally grew up with the ready made God available. They could not see any other God around them as they had already acquired a God in inheritance.



Our Gods are also ready made in a similar way. The story told above is not so important because it can change slightly or significantly. The thing which is important is acquiring your Gods from somebody else. The same thing is happening in our lives. Children are acquiring their Gods from their parents. Parents do not know about any God at all because they have learnt it from their parents and the cycle has been going on like that. These Gods have created such a conditioning in our mind that is not easy to break.

People keep talking about these Gods just to console themselves. It is like taking psychological advantage from the society full of anger, hate and jealousy where we are continuously losing ourselves. So, we like giving false pills to our children in the hope of getting abundant happiness, power and satisfaction.

Osho Rajneesh is talking about such God which does not exist. Such a God is superficial. People find some kind of amusement in the stories where God beats a devil in a war. Osho Rajneesh says that such a God does not exist then it is sure that such a devil does not exist either. According to Osho Rajneesh, a person can just be asleep or awakened. If, he is asleep then his life will remain full of misery and problems. A person full of such problems will run towards false hopes. Only an awakened person can enjoy his life to full extent.

I had a talk with my cousin a few days back. I like to enter in such a discussion. He was saying that what is wrong in going to a place like temple, Gurudwara, mosque or church. If, he feels some kind of distraction or satisfaction visiting there then what is wrong with that. I had to agree with him to some extent because he used the word distraction. Definitely one gets some kind of psychological advantage too. My reply was " we go to doctors and doctors like giving us false medicines sometimes for those diseases which are our own creation. Sometimes, it is not important which medicine is being given but it is more important that medicine is being given. In such situations a person who is taking a sugar pill thinking that it is a medicine, will also get rid of his sickness in the same time. In case of a doctor, we do not like taking pills at all but we think of getting rid of a disease completely. Visiting any kind of temple is also like taking a sugar pill for a disease that are actually not present but we do not want to get rid of that false disease. So, we keep taking those pills. This so called good society has created disease of fear with in a human mind that people love taking such pills. My approach is to get rid of the disease but if anybody loves to take pills then I do not force such a person".

Superficial Gods are like toys as Osho said in the above video. Osho said that Children can play with them but a man having his own wisdom discards them completely. Children like to play with some toys but mature people do not like to do it. A man with his own wisdom can see his God at each nook and corner of the world.

Bhagwan Shree Osho Rajneesh: Anybody Who Gives You a Belief System is Your Enemy Youtube Video

Bhagwan Shree Osho Rajneesh: Anybody Who Gives You a Belief System is Your Enemy Youtube Video

I will start commenting about this video of Osho from some other angle. We know that whenever anybody tries to dominate somebody through physical torture or some kind of forced behavior or arguments then we call it violence. Actually, we only know about this violence because we do not go far beyond this violence. We are pretty sure that such a violence is unfair and needs to be stopped by all of us. We do not know how this violence comes into existence. We have been condemning such violence since centuries but still we are not able to get rid of it. There is some kind of fundamental mistake that we are doing. This can be the only reason for such a violent society.

Osho here in this video is talking about some other kind of violence when we impose our belief systems on others. It does not matter that the belief systems have been given in a peaceful way but later they sow the seeds of hate, anger and jealousy. This kind of violence is the seed of the violence that we see in our daily life.




Every individual is born with some kind of natural bliss and wisdom. Before, he blossoms we overwrite things on his innocent mind. We overwrite on his wisdom and it creates an individual full of acquired knowledge and morality. Now, whenever he wants to do anything, he would consider that overwritten material first rather than his own wisdom. It creates conflict within himself. The seed that we had sown begins to grow towards hate and violence. The war and violence that we see in our daily life is the projection of our inner conflict.

People say that Osho is also giving a belief system where there is no belief system at all but it is not true. If, you say this is a belief system from Osho then it also cancels itself according to its definition and nothingness remains. One is just left with his own wisdom. Whatever comes out in that nothingness is divine.

In this world, the different cultures have their own moral values and belief systems and every culture thinks that they are right. I can see this thing within the families too. A family living in the east will condemn the belief systems of west because east considers west as too open and sex oriented but why it is wrong? How can anybody say that our culture is rich and the rest are not fair. We start bringing up our child according to our own moralities and principles. We should just teach some universal laws to a child like if your are going to put your hand in fire, it is going to hurt you but we teach things like if, you are not afraid of God, you will go to hell. An individual occupied with fear can never blossom in his life.

My whole point here is not to justify any specific belief system or culture but I want to talk here about the double standards present in our life. That is why Osho is calling that person your enemy who is ready to give you a belief system. The only problem here is that one is not aware of the enemy but he actually is. This is going to create conflict between an acquired belief system and your own wisdom. One cannot remain fully happy and satisfied in such a conflict.

Osho: God Is Not a Solution - but a Problem Youtube Video

It is very hard to understand a man like Osho. Whenever Osho says anything then it does not necessarily mean what he is saying. He may say things just to cut our conditioning of mind. So, Osho does say things intentionally whose meaning is different from the actual words that he use.



Along with Osho's points, I would like to cover number of other things too. When he is saying that God does not exist then he means that such a God does not exist who created our world in six days according to Christians but he does know about the God present within us and he can call God to the whole existence itself. The main difference is that Osho is not treating God as a separate entity where, the religions are treating God like a thing who created us. It makes the God like a separate power from all of us.

Number of religions are talking about Gods who created us with some kind of power and such Gods might be a fictional thing completely or some kind of misinterpretation of different books by us. I used the word might in the last line, I will explain it later why I did so when I will be talking about one science documentary. Now, according to the points of Osho, why people's so called God would create a world which is incomplete. Why didn't he create the perfect world in the first go? So, it seems to be a valid point that if we are having the process of evolution then the concept of God which is a separate entity does not seem to be valid.

Now, I would cover this thing from another perspective. I was watching a documentary that I am also going to share here. The documentary is about the past civilizations and extra terrestrials. The documentary talks about the number of things but the thing that is related to the above video is the concept of extra terrestrials. Documentary presented number of studies to justify that the earth was visited by the extra terrestrials in the past.

Today, we know about the stars, galaxies and planets. We also think today that life may be present somewhere in this universe but our ancestors about two thousand years back probably did not know about it. People who do not know about the universe will probably treat extra terrestrials as Gods because they would not have any idea about them. Today, if extra terrestrials come, we can directly say they are coming from other planets but our ancestors misinterpreted them as Gods.

It is quite clear that the extra terrestrials would have a lot more advanced technology than today we have. According to the division of civilizations by physicist Michio kaku. We are type zero civilization today. We are probably going to swtich to type 1 civilization in about hundred years. This type 1 civilization would be a planetary civilization, where we would have technology to control even weather on our planet. The civilization which can travel from one part of the universe to the other part is even a lot more advanced than type 1 civilization and is probably called type 3.

So, the extra terrestrials who visited planet earth must have tools with them which were beyond human imagination. They would control weather of our planet earth and our ancestors would start calling them wind God or water God. Type 3 civilization would even be able to light up their sun if, all the nuclear energy has exhausted from it. So, if such civilization lighted up the sun, our ancestors would start worshiping them and would call them as sun God. I am not saying that extra terrestrials lighted up our sun but civilization which can visit earth has a capability to consume all sun's power or even light up sun again.



There are number of people from different cultures who probably misinterpreted those extra terrestrials. Nobody can be sure about this theory too but I find this explanation very interesting and rational.
