A Revealing 2007?

“The dream of the Buddha has always been to remind you of that which has been forgotten, to awaken that which is asleep in you.” ……. OSHO

Osho used to tell us a fascinating story (I used to hear him in ’71- ’72 at cross maidan in Bombay):

God created the human. Gave him the intelligence and the ability to be able to do things... almost anything. Feeling a little insecure about what the human could do to him, ‘thought of hiding from him. Considered a no of places but was afraid that he would be able to dig him. In the end, however, he played a masterstroke. He hid inside the human.

And till today the man is looking for him everywhere except inside himself.

Time to ponder!................What is there, inside me?

An abundance of despair,
Or that occasional flicker of hope?

A mountain of desire,
Or the rare glimpse of that detached feeling?

An ocean of anxiety,
Or those divine moments during the meditation?

The floods of fear,
Or the episodic transcendental moments of love?

The demonic, incoherent and fragmented psyche
Or the omniscient, omnipotent and all encompassing divinity called God?

In Banaras, Swami Purnanand tells Dr Bhattacharya, “Agar Satya to jaanana hai pahchaanana hai to pehle apne aapko samajhne ki koshish keejiye”.

(If you want to know the truth, first you will have to understand yourself)



This year let us resolve to try to look inside ourselves, who knows we might be able to get the glimpse of God.

Wish you all a revealing 2007.
