So don't be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don'tcondemn foolishness; it has its own beauties. If you can be both, you will have aquality of transcendence within you.The world has become more and more serious. Hence so much cancer, so muchheart disease, so much high blood pressure, so much madness. The world hasbeen moved, forced, towards one extreme too much. Be a little foolish also.Laugh a little, be like a child. Enjoy a little, don't carry a serious face everywhere,and suddenly you will find a deeper health arising in you -- deeper sources ofyour health become available.Have you ever heard about any fool who went mad? It has never happened. Ihave always been searching for a report of any foolish man who went mad. Ihave not come across one. Of course a fool cannot go mad because to be mad youneed to be very serious.I have also been searching to see if fools are in any way prone to be more healthythan the so-called wise. And it is so: fools are more healthy than the so-calledwise. They live in the moment and they know that they are fools, so they are notworried about what others think about them. That worry becomes a cancerousphenomenon in the mind and body. They live long, and they have the last laugh.Remember that life should be a deep balancing, a very deep balancing. Then, justin the middle, you escape. The energy surges high, you start moving upwards.And this should be so about all opposites. Don't be a man and don't be a woman:be both, so that you can be neither. Don't be wise, don't be a fool: be both, so yougo beyond.Question 5PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY WE DON'T FEEL THE DIVINE WHICH IS HERE/NOW, WITHIN/WITHOUT, WHICH IS YOU, ME AND ALL.This is from Swami Yoga Chinmaya. Because you are too much, and too heavyon yourself.Because you cannot laugh, the divine is hidden. Because you are too tense, youare closed. And these things that you think -- that the divine is here/now,within/without, you/me -- are only head things, they are not your feelings.They are thoughts, not realizations. And if you go on thinking along these lines,they will never become experiences. You can convince yourself by a thousandand one arguments that this is so, but they will never become your experience.You will go on missing. It is not a question of argument, philosophy, thinking,contemplation -- no. It is a question of drowning yourself deeply in the feeling ofthe phenomenon. One has to feel it, not think about it. And to feel it, one has todisappear.You are trying an absolutely impossible thing: by thinking, you are trying torealize God. It will remain a philosophy, it will never become your experience.Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
