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
And unless it is an experience, it is not liberating. It will become a bondage; youwill die in that bondage of words.You are too much. Yoga Chinmaya's head has to be beheaded -- cut completely.You are too much in the head, and there is too much of yourself. God is not moreimportant; you are more important. You want to know God: God is not theemphasis, YOU are the emphasis. YOU want to achieve God: not that God isimportant; YOU are important, and how can you live without achieving God?God has to be possessed, but the emphasis is on YOU. That's why you go onmissing.Drop the 'you'. Then there is no need to worry about God -- He comes byHimself. Once you are not, He comes. Once you are absent, His presence is felt.Once you are empty, He is rushing towards you. Drop all the philosophies andall that you have learned, all that you have borrowed, all that has become heavyon the head. Drop it! Be clean of it; it is all rot.Once you are clean, in that cleanliness you start feeling something arising. In thatinnocence is virginity. God is always available.Question 6HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE MIND CAN GO ON PRODUCINGTHOUGHTS CONSTANTLY, AND HOW CAN WE STOP THAT WHICH WEHAVE NOT STARTED?You cannot stop that which you have not started. Don't try it, otherwise you willsimply be wasting time, energy, life. You cannot stop the mind because you havenot started it. You can simply watch, and in watching it stops. Not that you stopit: in watching. it stops. The stopping is a function of watching, it is aconsequence of watching.It is not that you stop it; there is no way to stop the mind. If you try to stop it, itwill go faster; if you try to stop it, it will fight with you and create a thousandand one troubles for you. Never try to stop it.This is the truth: you have not started it, so who are you to stop it? It has comethrough your unawareness; it will go through your awareness. You have to donothing to stop it except become more and more alert.Even the idea that one wants to stop the mind will be the barrier because yousay, "Okay, now I will try to be aware so that I can stop it." Then you miss thepoint. Then even your awareness will not be of much help because again thesame idea is there -- how to stop it. Then after a few days of futile effort -- futilebecause the idea is there, so it will not happen -- you will come to me and youwill say, "I have been trying to be aware, but the mind doesn't stop."It cannot be stopped; no method exists to stop it. But it stops! Not that you stopit; it stops by itself. You simply watch. In watching, you withdraw the energythat helps it to run. In watching, the energy goes into watching, and thinkingautomatically becomes feebler and feebler and feebler. Thoughts are there, butCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
