eautiful. Every time a Jesus, a Buddha or a Krishna happens, this is what theycome for.I AM NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS.... In the first place, they neverlisten to the call. The righteous are dead people; they are deaf, they are too full oftheir own noise. And they are so certain about their virtues. They don't have anyearth to stand on, but in their beliefs, in their imagination, they think that theyare standing on a well-founded ground. They have no foundation -- their edificeis just as if a child has made a house of playing cards: a little breeze and thehouse will be gone. But they believe in it. The house exists only in theirimagination.In the first place, they will not listen to the call. In the second place, if you insisttoo much, they will get angry. In the third place, if you are stubborn, as Jesuswas, they will kill you. And in the fourth place, when you are dead, they willworship you. This is how things go.FOR I AM NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS TOREPENTANCE. In fact, to realize that you are a sinner is already atransformation. The moment you recognize that you are a sinner, you haverepented. There is no other repentance.Look at it this way. In the night you are fast asleep and dreaming. If you realizethat you are dreaming, what does it mean? It means that you are no longerasleep now. Once you become aware that you are dreaming, you are aware.Once you become aware that you are asleep, you are no longer asleep -- finished.The sleep has already left you.To remain a sinner one needs to continuously think to himself that he is not asinner, he is a virtuous man. To hide the sin, one needs the confidence that one isrighteous, not a sinner. Sometimes the people who call themselves righteousthink that even if they sin sometimes, it is just to protect their virtue, to protecttheir righteousness.It happened: India and Pakistan were at war and everybody was in a war mood.Even Jain saints were in a war mood. At least THEY shouldn't have been -- theyhave been preaching non-violence for centuries. But I came across the news thatAcharya Tulsi, one of the greatest Jain MUNIS, had given his blessings to thewar. What did he say?He said it was to protect 'the country of non-violence'. "Even if violence has to bedone, it has to be done -- to protect the country of Buddha, Mahavir, Gandhi." Doyou see the trick? Non-violence has to be protected by violence. One has to go towar so that peace reigns. I have to kill you because I love you; I am doing it foryour sake.A man who thinks he is a sinner has already surrendered. He realizes, "I am asinner and I have done nothing else except sin and sin. It is not that sometimes Ihave committed a sin. Rather, on the contrary, I am a sinner. It is not a questionof actions; it is a continuity of unconsciousness. I am a sinner and whether I haveCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
done something wrong or not is irrelevant. Sometimes I don't do anythingwrong, but still I am a sinner."To be a sinner is a quality of unconsciousness. It has nothing to do with actions.For twenty-four hours you may not have done anything wrong -- you may haveremained in the house, fasting, sitting silently, meditating; you have not doneanything wrong -- but still you remain a sinner. If you are unconscious, you are asinner.Your being a sinner is not the result of the sins you have committed. Your beinga sinner is simply the state of unconsciousness. You are not a sinner because youdo sins. YOU DO SINS BECAUSE YOU ARE A SINNER. It is a continuity ofunconsciousness -- a continuum, without any gap. Once you realize this, the veryrealization is an awakening. The morning has come, it has knocked on the door:you are aware. Fragile is the awareness as yet, very delicate -- you can fall asleepagain, yes, that is a possibility -- but still you are aware. You can use this momentand come out of bed.... FOR I AM NOT COME COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS BUT SINNERSTO REPENTANCE.AND HE SAID TO THEM ALL, IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME, LETHIM DENY HIMSELF, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY, AND FOLLOW ME.IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME.... If you have decided to come after me,then this is what you have to do. This is the discipline, the only discipline Jesusever gave: LET HIM DENY HIMSELF.When you come to a man like Jesus, you have to drop your own ideas and yourego. You have to drop completely your own decisions because only if you dropyour ideas, decisions, ego, can Jesus penetrate you. Soon you will not need Jesus-- once you have dropped your ego, things will start happening to you on yourown -- but as a first step: LET HIM DENY HIMSELF.Look... you can come to me and surrender. But it is possible that the surrendermay be your idea. Then it is no longer a surrender. The surrender is surrenderwhen it is my idea, not yours. If it is your idea, then it is not surrender -- you arefollowing your idea.It happens every day. Somebody comes and I ask him, "Would you like to moveinto sannyas?"He says, "Wait, I have to think about it."I say to him, "If you think about it, then it will be your sannyas, not mine."Then you think and you come to a conclusion, but it is your ego thinking andcoming to a conclusion. Then you take sannyas, but you have missed theopportunity. When I asked you, the opportunity was there to take a jump. Hadyou taken it, without any consideration on your part, that would have been arepentance, a turning, a conversion. If you think that it is okay, but it is simplyCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
