their parents, so it is a long succession. Nobody is responsible, so don't feel angrythat your parents destroyed you. They couldn't help it. If you understand, youwill feel pity for them. They were destroyed by their parents, and their parentswere destroyed by somebody else, and it has always been going on. It is asuccession, a chain.You simply get out of it. There is no point in condemning anybody and there isno point in being angry -- an angry young man and this and that. There is nopoint. That is again a foolishness. Once you are sad, then you become angry.That is as bad as sadness. Just look at the whole thing and get out of it. Simplyslip out of it without making any noise. That's what I call rebellion.The revolutionary gets angry. He says the education has to be changed, he saysthe society has to be changed, he says a new type of parent is needed in theworld. Then only will everybody be happy. But who will do this? The doers arealways in the same mess, so who will be the help? "Create a new education" --but who will create it? The teachers have to be taught first. And therevolutionaries are just as much a part of this nonsense as the reactionaries, sowho will bring the revolution? The hope is futile.There is only one hope: you can bring light to your being. And it is availableimmediately, there is nothing to it. Have you ever seen a snake slipping out ofhis old skin? -- it is just like that. You simply slip out of it: forgive and forget.Don't be angry against your parents; they themselves were victims. Feel pity forthem.Don't be angry against the society, it could not have been otherwise. But onething is possible: you can slip out right now. Start being happy from this verymoment. Everything is available -- only a deep attitudinal change is needed: thatfrom now on you will look at happiness as the good and misery as the sin.Question 3WILL I BE ABLE TO TAKE ALL THAT I FEEL HERE WITH YOU WHEN ILEAVE OR WILL ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED JUST BE A MEMORY?When you leave, if you don't leave yourself here, if you take your 'I' with you,then whatsoever has happened will become a memory. Then whatsoever hashappened will be left behind. If you want to carry it with you, then you cannotcarry yourself within. The choice is open: either leave yourself here, thenwhatsoever has happened will be carried within you; or take yourself backhome, then whatsoever has happened will be left here. The choice is yours.If you can drop the ego, then whatsoever is happening is real. But if you cannotdrop the ego, then it is going to become a memory, and it will create moretrouble for you because the memory will become a haunting. You have had aglimpse, and now it is lost. You will be more miserable than ever. You know thatit exists, but now you have lost the track. You know it is somewhere: now youcannot simply say that it doesn't exist; that argument won't help.

cannot easily become an atheist and say there is no God and there is nomeditation and there is no inner core to human beings -- you cannot say that.You have tasted it. Now the taste will surround you, haunt you, will call you.The choice is yours. You can drop your 'I' with me, and the vision that hashappened will become part of your reality. It will be integrated in your organicunity, it will be crystallized. But you cannot have both, you can have only one, sobefore you leave, please make certain that you are leaving your 'I' with me. Makecertain that your surrender is real and total, make certain that you are reallysurrendered. Then wherever you are, you are close to me.It is because of your surrender that you are close to me, it is not a question ofphysical space. Surrendered, you are close to me -- you may be on anotherplanet. Not surrendered, you may be just sitting close to me -- you are far away.Question 4YESTERDAY YOU MENTIONED THAT LAW IS ANTI-LOVE, BUT THATWITHOUT IT LOVE CANNOT EXIST AND GROW. PLEASE EXPLAIN INWHICH WAY LAW IS NEEDED FOR LOVE TO GROW.For every growth the opposite is needed because the opposite creates the tension.Without the opposite, things relax into death. This is one of the mostfundamental things in life.Love cannot exist without the law; the law is the opposite. The law is the nonspontaneous,the mechanical; love is the spontaneous, the non-mechanical. Loveis uncaused; law is within cause and effect. Love is individual; law is social. Canyou exist without the society? Without the society you will not be born. You needa mother, a father, you need a family to grow in, you need a society to thrive in.Without a society you cannot exist.But remember, if you just become a part of society, you have already moved intonon-existence again. Without the society you cannot exist, and you cannot existjust as a member of the society either. Jesus says, "Man cannot live by breadalone." Do you think it means you can live without bread? Man cannot live bybread alone -- true, absolutely true -- but can man live without bread? No, thattoo is not possible. Man needs bread. It is necessary, but not enough. It simplygives you a base, but it doesn't give you a jump, a flight. It is a jumping board.Don't get stuck at that.Jesus says: "The Sabbath is created for man, not man for the Sabbath." The law isneeded because the society is needed. The law is the bread. But if there is onlylaw -- if you exist as a member of the society, a law-abiding member of thesociety, and nothing else exists in you which is beyond law -- then you exist invain; then you exist "just by bread alone". Then you eat well, you sleep well, andnothing else happens.It is good to eat well, but not enough -- something of the unknown is needed.Something from the invisible is needed to penetrate you; the romance of theCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
