Life is imperfect because life is a growing phenomenon. Anything that isgrowing will be imperfect, otherwise how will it grow? Anything that is perfectis already dead: it is good for the grave -- you cannot do anything else withNinety-nine percent of your poets are just writing junk; they give birth to deadchildren. Sometimes -- and only sometimes, rarely -- a poet is there. Andwhenever such a phenomenon as the poet exists, which is a miracle on this earth,just next to him is the mystic. One step more and he will become a mystic.If the poet tries to take wing a little more, he will become a mystic. And if themystic, in his compassion, descends a step towards you, he will become a poet.Poetry is a communication of the mystery of life. Unless you have felt it, how canyou communicate? Poetry is a relationship between you and the whole.Something transpires between the drop and the ocean, between the leaf and thetree. Something transpires between the whole and the part, and the part startsdancing, the part is so overflowing with joy that it sings... so delighted that itsmovements become poetic. It no longer walks on the earth -- it flies.Prose is just walking on the earth; poetry is a flight into the sky. Prose is justwalking, poetry is dancing. The movements are the same, but the quality istremendously different.Good -- you are blessed if the identification is gone. And that's what I'm trying todo through sannyas. When your old identification is gone, you are left in avacuum. Only in the vacuum can the hands of God descend in you and createsomething out of the mud that you are, create something beautiful. It will not beyours-- it will come through you.Rejoice that the identification is gone; don't try to bring it back. Forget all aboutit, forget all about everything that you know in relation to poetry, poetics. Forgeteverything -- just rejoice in being yourself.Suddenly one day you will fall in line with the whole -- a turning in, a tuning in,and a song will descend like a dove. Then you will be, for the first time, a poet.You will not claim it, but you will be it.Those who are, don't claim. Those who are not -- only they claim.Question 3I FEEL LIKE ON ACTOR IN A PLAY AND I DON'T ALWAYS LIKE MY ROLEIN IT. JUST WHEN I FEEL IT IS DROPPING, YOU PUSH ME BACK IN IT --DEFINING IT, DEFINING ME. IT APPEARS YOU GIVE A FORM, WHILE MYBEING IS BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. I WANT TO EXPLODE AND SPREAD.WHY DO YOU MOLD ME SO?The first thing: if you really feel' that you are an actor in a play then there is noquestion of your like or dislike. Then you cannot say, "Sometimes I don't like myrole in it," because like and dislike come only when you think of yourself not asan actor but as a doer.Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
To the actor, all roles are the same. What difference does it make whether youbecome Jesus or Judas in a drama? If you really know that this is a drama, andJudas and Jesus are all the same behind the curtain, behind the stage -- it is justan act -- then what is wrong in being a Judas? How can you dislike it? And whatis good in being Jesus? How can you like it?Like and dislike exist only when you think you are the doer. Then good' and badcome in then judgement, evaluation; then condemnation, appreciation. Then theduality enters. The duality enters only with the doer. If you are an actor it is allthe same whether you are a Judas or a Jesus.Once you understand the point that life is just a great drama, you are finishedwith likes and dislikes. Then whatsoever the whole bids, you do it. You are notthe doer: you fulfill the desire of the whole.That is one of the greatest teachings of all religions: to become an actor in life.Then like/dislike disappears. When like/dislike disappears, choice disappears --and when you are choiceless, you are free. MOKSHA, nirvana, is attained.Become an actor. Play the role, play it beautifully... because when one has toplay;t, why not play it beautifully? You are a Judas -- perfectly okay. Be a Judas.Enjoy the role and let the audience also enjoy the role. Behind the stage, Judasand Jesus are meeting and having tea. They are friends there. They have to be.In fact without Judas, Jesus cannot be. Something in the story will be missing,something very essential will be missing. Just think of Jesus without Judas.Christianity will not be possible.There might not have been any record of Jesus without Judas. Because hebetrayed, Jesus was crucified; and because Jesus was crucified, the event stuckhard in the heart of humanity.Christianity is born not because of Christ but because of the cross. So I wouldprefer that Christianity be called "Crossianity'. It should not be connected withChrist but with the cross.If you look at the Church, you will see the cross raised higher than Jesus. Thebishops and the popes wear the cross:the Church is born out of the cross. But ifyou think about it like this, then who is the author of this crucifixion? Judas -- notJesus.At the last moment on the cross, just before he died, Jesus hesitated. The parthesitated to dissolve into the whole, the river hesitated to fall into the ocean. It'snatural, it's human: Jesus is son of man AND son of God.Every river must be tremendously apprehensive and afraid when it comes to theocean. It was coming there all the time -- it may have journeyed thousands ofmiles to meet the ocean -- but whenever the river falls into the ocean, a deepturmoil is bound to be in the heart. The river is going to disappear. The ocean isso vast -- where will she be?She will be lost, her identity gone: the name, the form, the dreams, the desires --all gone. The ocean is so vast, she will simply disappear. Falling into the ocean isa death. It is the cross. When the river falls into the ocean, the cross is there.Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
