always eat it sometimes, sometimes even harmful things are not so harmful.Once in a while you can enjoy it, but there is no obsession to eat it too much. Thatobsession is part of the repression.Drop hesitations. People come to me and they say they want to love, theyhesitate; they want to meditate, but they hesitate; they would like to dance, butthey hesitate. If this hesitation is there and you go on feeding it, you will missyour whole life. It is time: drop it! And nothing else is to be done: just becomeaware that this is just the way you have been brought up, that's all.Consciously it can be dropped; it is not your being. It is just in your brain, it isjust an idea which has been forced upon you. It has become a long habit -- and avery dangerous habit at that because if you can't enjoy, then what is this life for?And these people who cannot enjoy anything (love, life, food, a beautiful scene, asunset, a morning, beautiful clothes, a good bath -- small things, ordinarythings), if you cannot enjoy this things, and there are people who cannot enjoyanything: they become interested in God. They are the most impossible people;they can never reach to God. God enjoys these trees, otherwise why does He goon creating them? He is not fed up at all, not at all. For millennia He has beenworking on trees and flowers and birds, and He goes on listening.He goes onreplacing: new beings, new earths, new planets. He is really very, very colorful!Look at life, watch it, and you will see the heart of God -- how it is.People who are very up-tight, unable to enjoy anything, unable to relax,incapable even of enjoying a good sleep, they are the very few people whobecome interested in God. And they become interested for the wrong reasons.They think that because life is useless, futile, they have to seek and search God.Their God is against life remember.Gurdjieff used to say, :I have searched into every religion, into every church,mosque and temple, and I have found that the God of the religious people isagainst life." And how can God be against life? If He is against, then there is noreason why life should exist or should be allowed to exist. So if your God isagainst life, in fact, deep down, you are against the real God. You are following aGodot, not a God.God is the very fulfillment of life, God is the very fragrance of life, God is thetotal organic unity of life. God is not some thing that exists like a dead rock, Godis not static. God is a dynamic phenomenon. God does not exist, It happensWhen you are ready, It happens. Don't think that God exists somewhere and youwill find a way to reach Him. No, there is nowhere, and there is no God existingsomewhere waiting for you.God is something that happens to you when you are ready. When you are ready,when the sadness has disappeared and you can dance, when the heaviness hasdisappeared and you can sing, when the heavy weight of conditioning is nomore on your heart and you can flow -- God happens. God is not a thing thatexists; It is something that happens. It is a dynamic, organic unity.Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
And when God happens, everything happens: the trees, the stars, the rivers. Andto me, to be capable of enjoying is the door. Serious people have never beenknown to have reached Him. Seriousness is the barrier -- the wrong attitude.Anything that makes you serious is irreligious. Don't go to a church that makesyou serious.It happened once:A woman purchased a parrot, but by the time she reachedhome she was very much puzzled, worried. She had paid a good price for it; theparrot was beautiful. Everything was good, only one thing was very dangerous --once in a while the parrot would say loudly, "I am a very wicked woman." Thiswas something!The woman lived alone. And she was a very religious woman -- otherwise whylive alone? She was a very serious woman, and this parrot would say again andagain -- and even passers-by would hear and listen -- and the parrot would say,"I am a very, very wicked woman."She went to the vicar because he was the only source of her wisdom andknowledge and information. She said, "This is very bad, and I am puzzled aboutwhat to do. The parrot is beautiful and everything is good except this."The vicar said, "Don`t be worried. I have two very religious parrots. Look!" -- onewas in his cage tolling the bell and another was praying in his cage. Veryreligious people -- "You bring your parrot. Good company always helps. Leaveyour parrot for a few days here with these religious people, and later on you cantake your parrot back."The woman liked the idea. She agreed brought the parrot, and the vicarintroduced the parrot to his parrots. But before he could say anything, the parrotsaid, "I am a very, very wicked woman."The vicar was also nonplussed -- what to do? In that moment the parrot whowas praying stopped praying and said to the other parrot, "You fool! Stop tollingthe bell, our prayers are fulfilled." They were praying for a woman! "Stop tollingthe bell; the prayer is answered!".In fact whenever you see somebody praying, suspect something has gone wrong.They are praying for a woman, praying for money; praying for something,praying for happiness. A really happy person does not pray. Happiness is hisprayer, and there cannot be a higher or a greater prayer than just to be happy.A happy person does not know anything about god, does not know anythingabout prayer. His happiness is his God, his happiness is his prayer-he is fulfilled.Be happy and you will be religious: happiness is the goal.I am a hedonist, and as far as I see it, all those who have known have alwaysbeen hedonists, whatsoever they say. A Buddha, a Jesus, a Krishna -- allhedonists. God is the ultimate in hedonism, He is the peakest peak of beinghappy.Drop all the conditioning that you carry with you. And don't try to condemnyour parents because that won't help. You are a victim of there conditioning, butwhat could they have done? They where victims of there on conditionings ofCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
