go on ruminating about it, wasting time and energy. That rumination about thepast creates a screen around you, and you cannot see that which is already here.You have been missing it, and it has become a habit. Whenever you are sitting,you are thinking about the past. Become aware! I'm not saying to try to stop itbecause if you try to stop it, you will still be engaged with it. I am saying: bedisengaged with it!So what will you do? -- because whatsoever you do will be an engagement withit.You just have to be aware. When the past starts coming in the mind, just relax,quiet yourself, still yourself. Just remain alert, not even verbalization is needed.Just know that the past is gone: there is no use chewing over it again and again.People use the past as a chewing gum; they go on chewing it. Nothing comes outof a gum -- it is not nutritious; it is just futile -- but just through the exercise of themouth one feels good. Just the exercise of the mind, and one feels as if one isdoing something worthwhile.Just remain alert, and if you can be alert about the past you will become aware,by and by, that the future has disappeared automatically. The future is nothingbut the projection of the past: the future is the desire to have that part of the pastthat was beautiful, again and again, in more beautiful ways; and not to have thepart of the past which was painful -- to never have it again.This is what future is. You are choosing a part of the past, glorifying it,decorating it, and imagining that in the future you will again and again havethose moments of happiness -- of course more magnified, more inflated. And youwill never have the pain that you had to pass through in the past. This is whatfuture is.Once the past disappears, it does not disappear a]one. It also takes the futurewith it. Suddenly you are here, now -- time stops. This moment which is not oftime I call meditation... this moment which is not of time Jesus calls 'the kingdomof God'.Just remember it more and more. Nothing is to be done, only remembrance -- adeep remembrance which follows you like breathing whatsoever you are doing,which remains somewhere in the heart. Just a deep remembrance that the pasthas to be dropped -- and future goes with it. Here/now is the door; fromhere/now you pass from the world into God, you pass from the without to thewithin. Suddenly, in the marketplace, the temple descends: the heavens openand the spirit of God descends like a dove. It can happen anywhere. Every placeis holy and sacred; only ripeness, your maturity, your awareness, is needed.The word 'awareness' is the master key. We will come across many situations inthe gospel where Jesus goes on saying: "Awake! Be alert! Be conscious!Remember! " Buddha goes on saying to his disciples: "Right mindfulness isneeded"; Krishnamurti goes on saying: "Awareness"; Gurdjieff's whole teachingis based on one word: 'self-remembering'.This is the whole of the gospel: self-remembering.Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
Come Follow To You, Vol 1Chapter #10Chapter title: Moving towards Christhood30 October 1975 am in Buddha HallArchive code: 7510300ShortTitle: FOLL110Audio: YesVideo: NoLength: 78 minsQuestion 1DO YOU EVER CRY?YES, WHENEVER I LOOK AT YOU. You may not see my tears, you may nothear my cry, but when I look at you the cry is always there. Because of that, I goon working on you. It is not only to help you to come out of your misery; it is tohelp myself also. If you come out of your misery, I will come out of my miserythat is created by your misery.It is said that when Buddha reached to the door of the ultimate he stopped there;he wouldn't enter. The door was open, the devas, the gods, were ready towelcome him in, but he wouldn't enter. The DEVAS asked him, "Why are youstanding there? Come in. We have been waiting for many ages. You arewelcome. You have returned home."Buddha said, "I will stay here, I will have to stay here. Until the last human beingpasses by me and enters the door, I cannot enter."This is a beautiful parable. Don't take it literally....But it is true. Once you become aware, once you become a being -- once you ARE-- infinite compassion arises in you. Buddha has made compassion the criterionof enlightenment. Once you have attained you don't suffer for yourself, but yousuffer for others -- seeing the misery all around, seeing the whole absurdity of it;seeing the possibility that you can come out of it immediately, right now, andstill you go on clinging.By one hand you push it away, by another hand you pull it close. You go oncreating your own prisons and still you would like to be free. Your whole effortis just contradictory. You want to come to the east and you go towards the west.Seeing you... yes, I always cry.Question 2FOR TEN YEARS I HAVE IDENTIFIED MYSELF AS A POET.
