Come Follow To You, Vol 1 - Oshorajneesh.com

you are raised to a higher level of being, as if you are in a new state ofconsciousness and you utter strange things. Later on, when you fall back to yourordinary state, either you will forget what you have said or you will shrug yourshoulders -- you will not be able to believe that you said this.You come to me: you bring a thousand and one questions but when you are nearme, suddenly you forget. You start mumbling. I ask you for what you have comeand you say, "I have forgotten." You think that I am doing something to you.Nothing -- I am not doing anything to you. The questions and problems belongto a lower state of mind. When your state is changed, those questions andproblems disappear, they are not there.Back home, when you have settled down, they are there waiting for you again.Again you will come and you will forget.Your question is something deep within you. When you are near me, you startlooking at things through me. You are no longer in the dark, you are in my light,and the problems that were relevant in your darkness are no longer relevant. Toask them looks foolish, silly. You cannot articulate your problems because theyare no longer there, but when we part -- you on your way, I on mine -- again thesuddenness of darkness. And now the darkness is there even more than before,and the problems are multiplied.This man: the gospel doesn't mention his name, knowingly. It simply says ACERTAIN MAN because it is not a question of a particular man. It is not aquestion of a particular man: A CERTAIN MAN. Every man is implied in it.Many people will meet Jesus on the way and it is always on the way. That toohas to be understood.Jesus is always moving. That is the meaning: that he is always on the way. Notthat he was continuously moving and never resting, but the meaning of ON THEWAY is that Jesus is a river. You may know it or you may not know it, but theriver is flowing. The river is a flowing: to conceive of the river as non-flowing isnot possible because then it will no longer be a river. A Jesus is a flow, atremendous flood. It is always on the way, it is always moving.You came to me yesterday, but I am no longer there. That land is already lost inthe past, those banks are no longer anywhere. You may carry them in yourmemory, but the river has moved. And if you carry the past in your memory,you will not be able to see the river: where exactly it is now, at this point of time.AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, AS THEY WENT IN THE WAY.... Jesus is awanderer, because once your consciousness is freed, once your consciousness hasentered the eternal, it is going to remain an eternal wandering. Then the whole isthe home; then the home is nowhere.Then you will be continuously flowing. There will never come a moment ofknowledge; you will only be knowing and knowing and knowing. It will neverbe completed because once knowing is completed, it is dead. You will belearning, but you will never become a man of knowledge. You will alwaysremain empty.Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
