OSHO: Selling Bliss

OSHO International Foundation - http://www.osho.com

--FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY--
Perhaps a Christian conditioning makes people think that anything 'spiritual' should be free. Osho's insight is that the mind gives scant value to anything that is free. Nothing around Osho was free. He reminded us again and again of the importance to remember that freedom comes only from responsibility and one such responsibility is that of paying.

Osho has responded to many questions in this regards. Some text excerpts here, another excerpt is available as video from a press interview.

"You are ready to go to the movie and pay for it; why should you not pay for your meditation and the lecture if you want to hear it?"

"You ask why you have to pay here? The price that is asked is nothing; it is just the beginning of learning a certain lesson: that one has to pay for everything, and ... CERTAINLY for meditation -- because it is the highest thing in life."

"You pay for everything in life, why not for your meditation? "

Quotes from: The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol 4,#10

@jawfrosh you are right that tricalm is right but you are wrong about "...looking hopfully to the future..."

Hope lives in dreamers minds, in awaken mind there is no place for hope...

You maybe read too much and maybe you like dreaming. It is great but it is just one kind of people's foolings themselves.

Whoever you are - in eyes of awaken man you will see nothing but yourself, as in mirror. If you are awaken - you see nothing, even love or compassion. Eyes full of Nothing.

@jawfrosh Yes, and in one of his talks Osho said that the look in the eyes of a madman is the same as the mystic because both are in a state of no-mind, in the present. The difference is that the madman has gone below the mind and the mystic has transcended it, as he said. One of the most beautiful eyes I have seen are the ones of Anandamayi Ma, one of the most beautiful budhas of modern times. So looking into the eyes you know who is enlighted and who's pretending to be.

cracked me up laughing when he said, 'then why are you working all your life for a bottle of water?!' Wise indeed

all good but look at the micro expression in the very end.

@tricalm

Yes you are right concerning the eyes, look at the eyes of small children, they are shining. They are full of innocense and love. The same is eyes of awakened people. Look at eyes of OSHO, look at the eyes of Krishnamurtu, Rishi Maharishi or nowadays to the eyes of living Master Sadhguru, you will find the same radiance and grace. The eyes of awakaned people are full of hope for the future and the same is the eyes of small children, they are looking hopfully to the future!
