something negatively; the positive will come. Once you are ready, it alwayscomes.Please don't try to do anything. Just be.Question 5YOU SAID THAT THE FAMILY IS THE FIRST THING TO RENOUNCE. IDON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WERE SERVED PRASAD ON THE DAY OFYOUR FATHER'S INITIATION.The family has to be renounced, that's true. I have renounced my family. But myfamily is rare: they have not renounced me. And it is rare, I say, because it hasnot happened before.Jesus' father never came to Jesus to be initiated. John the Baptist initiated many,but his own father never came to be initiated. Krishna's father was not a discipleof his.My father is rare -- not because he's my father: he s simply rare. There was everypossibility....As human nature goes, there is every possibility that a father cannot come andbow down to his own son. It is almost humanly impossible. He has done that.You will not find a parallel in the whole history of man. And it may not happenagain.But you are blind and you cannot see the fact, so even the PRASAD became aproblem to you. Just think of bowing down to your own son, coming to the feetof your own son. being initiated. A tremendous humbleness, a tremendousinnocence, is needed.That is one of the most difficult things in human relationships. It is not accidentalthat Jesus' father never came to him. It is simple: to believe in the son to whomyou have given birth, whom you have seen from the very first day, from his firstcry how can you believe that he has become enlightened? Your own son? --impossible. Your own blood and bone? -- impossible. How can you think that hehas become something, someone, from whom you have to learn?A son remains a son..;. and to a father he remains a child always, because thedistance is always the same. If my father was twenty when I was born, thattwenty years' distance has remained the same; it will always remain the same. If Iam forty-five, he will be sixty-five. I cannot come closer to him in age: he willalways be twenty years more experienced than I am.And to come to me and to surrender... you cannot realize the significance of it!That is why you ask such foolish questions. It is one of the rarest moments.I again repeat: my father is rare -- not because he is my father. He's simply rare.Question 6Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
DID JESUS BECOME THE CHRIST ON THE CROSS, OR WHEN HE CAMEOUT OF THE JORDAN RIVER? ARE THERE STAGES OF CHRISTHOODALSO?There are no stages. Enlightenment -- or Christhood or Buddhahood -- happensin a single split second, there are not gradual stages. When Jesus was baptized byJohn the Baptist in the River Jordan, the journey started -- not Christhood.The seed started moving towards being a tree, the seed was broken in the soil.Now the tree and its coming is only a question of time. You cannot say that whenthe seed has broken in the soil the tree is there -- you cannot say it because thetree is NOT there.You cannot say that the tree is. You cannot say it because where can you see thetree? You cannot rest under the tree, you cannot pluck the fruits, you cannothave the fragrance of the flowers. The tree is non-existential.Yes, in one way you cannot say the tree is. But in another way the tree is, becausethe seed is broken. The tree is on the way; it is coming. Now it is only a questionof time. It has come, in a way, because it has started.The day John the Baptist initiated Jesus, the seed was broken. The heavensopened and the spirit of God, like a dove, descended. This was the beginning --not of Christhood, the beginning TOWARDS Christhood; the seed movingtowards the tree.Jesus became Christ on the cross, when he said, "Thy will be done. not mine."That day he became a tree, he became a big, vast tree. Thousands could takeshelter under him now. The tree bloomed, it filled the whole earth withfragrance.So in a way you can say that when he was initiated in the River Jordan, the firstglimpse was achieved. On the cross, the last. It depends how you want to expressit. But I think I have conveyed the meaning to you: he started on the journeytowards being a Christ on that day.You can also call him Christ on that day; it is just a question of how to express it,But my emphasis is that he moved towards Christhood. He became Christ on thecross.Christhood or Buddhahood or nirvana, MOKSHA, enlightenment -- they happenin a split second, they have no gradualness about them. They are suddentransformations.Question 7THE RETURN IS ENTIRELY A PERSONAL AFFAIR. EVEN A VERY NEARONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND. IT IS ACTUALLY EASILY POSSIBLE ONLYFOR THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED. BUT, LORD, YOU ARE CALLING ALL.IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO HEAR YOU CALL YOUR CALL OF LOVE?Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
