Come Follow To You, Vol 1Chapter #6Chapter title: The luxury of God26 October 1975 am in Buddha HallQuestion 1WHAT IS THE NEED FOR SECRECY IN MASTERDISCIPLE RELATIONSHIPSAND ALSO IN ORDINARY HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS?THE BEING HAS TWO SIDES, the without and the within. The without can bepublic, but the within cannot be. If you make the within public, you will loseyour soul, you will lose your original face. Then you will live as if you have noinner being. Life will become drab, futile. It happens tO people who lead a publiclife: politicians, film actors. They become public, they lose their inner beingcompletely, they don't know who they are except what the public says aboutthem. They depend on others' opinion, they don't have a sense of their being.One of the most famous actresses, Marilyn Monroe, committed suicide, andpsychoanalysts have been brooding on the reason why. She was one of thebeautiful women ever, one of the most successful. Even the President of AmericaKennedy, was in love with here, and she had thousands of lovers. One cannotthink of what more you can have. She had everything.But she was public and she knew it. Even in her love chamber when PresidentKennedy would be there she used to address him as Mr. President -- as if onewas making love not to man, but to an institution.She was an institution. By and by she came aware that she had nothing private.Once somebody asked here -- she had just posed for a nude calendar andsomebody asked, "Did you have anything on while you posed for the nudecalendar?"She said, "Yes, I had something on. The radio."Exposed, nude, no private self. My feeling is that she committed suicide becausethat was the only thing left she could have done privately. Everything waspublic, that was the only thing left she could do on her own, alone, somethingabsolutely intimate and secret. Public figures are always tempted towardssuicide because only through suicide can they have a glimpse of who they are.All that is beautiful is inner, and the inner means privacy. Have you watchedwomen making love? They always close their eyes. They know something. Aman goes on making love with open eyes, he remains a watcher also. He is notcompletely in the act, he is not totally in it. He remains a voyeur, as if somebodyelse is making love and he is watching, as if the love-making is going on a TVscreen or in a movie. But a woman knows better because she is more delicatelyCome Follow To You Vol 1Osho
