unknown is needed. Without it you will be a syllogism of logic but you will notbe a poetry. Without it you may be quite right, but just 'quite right' -- noromance, no poetry, no dance.Love is the mysterious, the law is the non-mysterious. The law helps you to be inthe world; love gives you the reason to be. The law gives you the cause to be, andlove gives you the reason to be. The law gives you the base; love be<strong>com</strong>es thehome, the house.And remember one thing: that the base can exist without the house, but thehouse cannot exist without the base. The lower can exist without the higher, thehigher cannot exist without the lower. A man can exist with just bread -- he willnot have anything worth having, he will not have any reason to exist -- but hecan exist; he can just vegetate. But even a great lover cannot exist without bread:even Jesus or Buddha cannot exist without bread. They have found the celestialhome of love, but they cannot exist without bread.The lower is, in a way, independent of the higher. The higher is dependent, in away, on the lower. But this is so. And it seems simple, it is easy. <strong>You</strong> make atemple.... What we call in India the kalash, the golden cap of the temple, cannotexist without the whole temple there. If you remove the temple, the kalash -- thegolden cap -- will fall down. It cannot exist without the temple. Of course, thetemple can exist without the cap; there is no problem about it.Just think: a man is hungry -- can he dance? Dance is impossible. The man isstarving, he cannot even think. He cannot imagine what dance means. He mayhave known it in the past, but he will not even be able to believe that he hasknown it. It seems impossible, it seems almost nonexistential. It cannot exist in astarved body -- how can you think of a dance descending? But think of anotherman who is well fed and without any dance. There is no trouble -- you canvegetate.The higher is not a must, it is a freedom. If you want, you grow in it; if you don'twant, there is nobody forcing you to grow in it. The lower is a need, it is not yourchoice. It has to be fulfilled.Law is anti-love. If you are too lawful, you will not be able to love anybody --because the very quality of love is spontaneity. It <strong>com</strong>es from the blue, it candisappear in the blue. It has no reason, no cause here. It happens like a miracle, itis magical. Why it happens, how it happens, nobody knows. It cannot bemanipulated: it is anti-law, it is anti-gravitation, it is anti-science, it is anti-logic.It is against all logic and against all law.Love cannot be proved in any lab, and love cannot be proved by any logic. If youtry to prove it by logic, you will <strong>com</strong>e to know that there is nothing like love,love is impossible. It cannot exist -- but it exists! Even great scientists fall in love.They cannot prove it in their labs, they cannot argue for it, but they also fall inlove. Even an Einstein falls in love.Love makes everybody humble. Even Einstein -- so proud of his logic, argument,science -- suddenly falls in love one day: an ordinary woman -- Frau Einstein.<strong>Come</strong> <strong>Follow</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>You</strong> <strong>Vol</strong> 1Osho
Suddenly his whole science disappeared and he started believing in theimpossible. Even in his later life he used to shrug his shoulders: "It happens, butif you ask me as a scientist I cannot vouch for it. But it happens -- if you ask meas a man."In his last days he said, "If love exists, then God must also exist. If one impossibleis possible, then why not the other?" He died as a deeply humble and religiousman.Somebody asked him, "If you are born again, what would you like to be?"He said, "Not a scientist again. I would rather be a plumber."What is he saying? He is saying that he has seen the falsity of all logic and he hasseen the futility of all scientific argument.What he is saying that he has seenthrough and through that cause and effect maybe the base, but they are not thepinnacles. The real temple the real mystery of life, moves through love, prayer,happiness -- all impossibles. If you think of them you cannot believe, but if youallow them to happen then a great trust and a great grace arises in you.Moses is the law. The society cannot exist without Moses, he is a must. Thesociety cannot afford to lose him; the society would be a chaos without a Moses.He is absolutely needed, he is the very foundation. BUT JESUS IS LOVE. Mosesis needed, is necessary, but not enough. If Moses alone rules the world, the worldwill be not worth living.Jesus. A breeze from the unknown -nobody knows from where it <strong>com</strong>es, nobodyknows where it goes. A penetration of eternity into time -the entry of themysterious into the known.Jesus cannot <strong>com</strong>e without Moses, remember. Moses will be needed. He is thebread, but the bread has nothing of romance in it. The wine -that is the romance,the poetry, the dance, the celebration, the joy, the ecstasy.Yes, Moses cannot exist without Jesus... Jesus cannot exist without Moses. That'swhy Jesus says again and again, "I have <strong>com</strong>e to fulfil, not to destroy." Moses wasjust a foundation. Jesus raises the temple of God in it.Moses is the absolutely right citizen, the good man. Jesus is not so good.Sometimes one suspects whether he is good or bad; he confuses. He moves withdrunkards, he stays with a prostitute. No, never... you cannot conceive of Mosesdoing that. Moses is an absolutely right man, but thats where he missessomething: the beauty, the freedom. He always moves on the right track, he is arailway line. Jesus is like a river. He changes -sometimes left, sometimes right,sometimes he changes the path <strong>com</strong>pletely.Moses is absolutely believable; Jesus not so. Sometimes one suspects whether thisman is right or wrong. That was the problem for the Jews. They had lived on thebread of Moses, they had followed Moses and his Ten Commandments, and nowthis man <strong>com</strong>es and says, "I am the fulfillment of all that has preceded me," and,"I have <strong>com</strong>e not to destroy, but to fulfill." But what type of fulfillment is this? Hedoes not look like Moses at all.<strong>Come</strong> <strong>Follow</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>You</strong> <strong>Vol</strong> 1Osho
