A good sense of humor always helps. - Zen is the only tradition with humor, and is clearly favored by Osho (also by myself, see spiritual freedom instead of dogmas, "Gods" etc. - d.48). - He talks more about Zen than anything else. - The mind is old and always afraid of the new and the fresh. - Christ will bring the unknown again, but the mind is the known, and the known is always afraid of the new. - The unknown will bring uncertainty, and the mind is always in search of security. - It will bring chaos, and the mind wants a comfortable life that is not a real life. - The more comfortable, the less alive! - The most comfortable life is in the grave ... (Osho)
Religion is a permanent revolution because religion is life. - Dead religion becomes a church. - Dead religion becomes Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism etc. - Living religion is Jesus, Buddha etc. - Why is Jesus so against law and order? - Because he knows a greater law because he knows a larger order. - A man-made order is only a pretense of false facts. - The divine order is exactly the opposite. - There is chaos on the surface, and order is at the bottom in the depths. - When in the outside disorder and chaos reigns, where are you going then? - You start to go inside, and you come to your center. - Love is the Tao, which Buddha called Dharma. - When you crucify Jesus, you crucify your own being in favor of your periphery (i.e. you crucify "love" in favor of money, power, etc. - see Erich Fromm: "to Have or to Be" etc. - d.48). - For existence has not the slightest interest in proving oneself to anyone. - Yes, whoever wants to prove that there is a "God" - somehow doubts his own existence! - A poetic truth (myth) stands on a higher level than any scientific truth - because scientific truths constantly change. - A poetic truth is eternal! - This rose is only a single flower that represents all the blossoms of the past and future ...
