Question 1<br />

OSHO,<br />

CHAPTER 27<br />

Baptism: wading for godot<br />

WHAT DO YOU WANT MAN TO DO? WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG ACCORDING TO YOU? IS<br />

THERE SOMETHING LIKE SIN AND ITS PUNISHMENT TOO?<br />

MY concern with man is not about his doing, but about his being. And this is a very fundamental<br />

issue <strong>to</strong> be unders<strong>to</strong>od by you.<br />

All the religions have been concerned about man’s doings. They have been labeling a few acts as<br />

wrong, a few other acts as right, a few acts good, a few acts bad. They have not at all pondered<br />

over the real problem.<br />

Man is asleep, and when a man is asleep the question is not what he should do or should not do.<br />

The question is: he should be awakened, he should be awake.<br />

And remember, awakening is not a question of doing right, avoiding wrong; not <strong>com</strong>mitting sin, doing<br />

virtue.<br />

Man’s sleep is not an ordinary sleep. He walks, he talks, he does things, but it is all being done in<br />

sleep. So when I say man is asleep, I mean metaphysically, spiritually, man is asleep.<br />

He knows nothing about himself<br />
