TEMPLE.
Zen: The Mystery and The Poetry of the Beyond59 Osho
CHAPTER 4. NOW IT IS MY TURN
People think that compassion should not do such a thing  turning him out of the temple. But it is
out of compassion that he is turned out of the temple, to show him that  You are not enlightened.
First find out your own experience, and then come and I will welcome you, and you can overturn my
seat, you can sit on my seat; I will vacate the seat for you. But right now it is your absolute need that
you should be thrown out of the temple. It is not unkindness; it is a very superior compassion.

LIKE A LOVELY CLOUD
IN A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE,
NEW YEAR S FIRST SUNRISE!
These beautiful people! A small stream, very small, but it has contained the most precious ones.
When Shusai says,
 LIKE A LOVELY CLOUD IN A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE, NEW YEAR S FIRST SUNRISE!  what an
amazement that  I am still alive! What an amazement that  I don t deserve such a beautiful sunrise.
And yet existence goes on showering from all directions, in thousands of ways. But you are dumb,
you are deaf, you are blind. You don t see the sunrise, you don t see the sunset.
I have seen people walking on the road. The sun is setting  such psychedelic colors all over the
horizon  and nobody is looking at it. Somebody is talking to himself, you can see the lips moving;
somebody is counting something, somebody is looking down on the earth. They are completely
unaware that a great sunset, which will never be repeated again...
But a man of aesthetic sensibility, of religious consciousness, will gather all these beauties, will
become one with the sunset, will become one with the sunrise, will become one of the stars in
the night, will become one of the roses, or the lotuses. He will enjoy this tremendous mystery
that is unfolding every moment all around you. Everything is poetry, and everything is music, and
everything is a great dance.
But all the religions, the organized ones, have destroyed your sensibility. They have destroyed your
perceptivity.
When I was a teacher in the university I used to have a beautiful garden. I have always had a
beautiful garden around me. A Hindu monk, very famous among the Hindus, had come to see me. I
took him around the garden  because my garden was winning for years, every year, the first prize.
We used to bring such big dahlias, such big roses  almost impossible to believe. And that old fool,
the Hindu monk, said to me,  A man of spirituality like you should not indulge in any senses.
Even looking at the roses is indulgence, because if you can appreciate the beauty of a rose, what
prevents you from appreciating the beauty of a woman? It is the same sensibility. To destroy the
sensibility, to make your skin as thick as possible, to make your skull as thick, as retarded as possible
so you don t appreciate anything... you cannot enjoy this beautiful existence.

CHAPTER 4. NOW IT IS MY TURN
To my understanding, if you cannot enjoy that which is outer, you are incapable of enjoying that
which is inner, because the inner is far deeper. The outer is immediately available.
According to my experience, enjoying the beauty of flowers and stars suddenly makes you aware to
look into yourself: what is my beauty? What is my being s light? The outer beauty indicates towards
the inner.
I am in favor of a deep balance. Enjoy the outer beauty, the outer sensibility; it will help you in
your meditation. It is not going to distract you. It distracts you because you have been inhibiting
your outer sensibility. If you have not appreciated the beauty of a woman or a man, then when you
will close your eyes you will be surrounded by beautiful women, by beautiful men. This has been
your inhibition, this is your suppression, which will come to the surface the moment you start going
inwards. You have not fulfilled your responsibility for the outer existence. You are not worthy to enter
into the inner sanctum.
I teach you to love the world, not to renounce it, because that is the only way to find yourself. You
are part of this existence, you cannot escape from it. All escape is false, and creates only frauds.
Question 1
Maneesha has asked:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR YOUR DISCIPLES  AS GURDJIEFF DID FOR HIS  THAT WE
IDENTIFY WHAT OUR  CHIEF CHARACTERISTIC IS?
Maneesha, no, absolutely no, because Gurdjieff s system is totally different.
You cannot put one car s parts into another car of another make. Both cars are functional.... I am
not against Gurdjieff s system, but I have a far more refined system. Gurdjieff is crude, cruel, and
goes unnecessarily into disciplines which don t matter. They can be discarded.
For example, what Maneesha is asking, that was his main theme: you have to find your chief [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
