*A Man of Awareness*
*Osho Mahaparinirvana Day*
To live in the moment needs a thoughtless awareness, because even a small thought is bigger than the smallest atom of time -- the moment. Hence my insistence on meditation. It is nothing but a method to drop thoughts and to be available to the present moment. Live it as deeply as possible. The next moment will be born out of this moment. If you have lived this moment totally, intensely, your next moment is going to be still more golden. And that's how life goes on growing -- otherwise people only grow old. If you have a goal you will grow old. If you don't have a goal you will grow up. And these are two different processes. Growing old you reach to death; that is the goal. Growing up you transcend death, because a man who has been alert, aware, in each moment, he will be capable of being aware even while he is leaving the body. He has lived life, he is not going to miss death either; he will live death too. And death for the man of awareness is the ultimate peak of life. It is not the end but the very climax...
Only a man of awareness realizes a tremendous phenomenon: death comes to him as the ultimate or**sm. In his awareness he passes death without dying. He becomes aware of eternity. Now he knows he has always been here, and he will always be here. He is part of an eternal existence.
