"Enlightenment is not a fixed end; it is a timeless movement in love." ~J. Krishnamurti

“Enlightenment is not one event, one thing, one experience. It is a series of Enlightenments that you are continuously going through.

It is continuously beginning and never coming to an end. That is why it’s foolish to say that one is enlightened.

One is in the process of enlightening and every subsequent enlightenment is more fulfilling than the previous one.

The previous one was perfect and this one is better than perfect. That’s the magic.”

~ Acharya Prashant

Vedanta Exegete

One could call him a spiritual teacher rooted in Advait Vedanta. Or one could call him a most contemporary representative of all the spiritual traditions of the world. Equally, one could call him breathtakingly original and beyond any tradition.

But the most appropriate way to know him would be through his work.

His work is founded on compassion and expresses itself as demolition. In classical sense he is a most orthodox spiritual teacher, in the contemporary sense he is a veganism promoter, an environmental activist, a science activist, a campaigner against superstition, and a champion of essential human freedom.

"You can discover truth only when you are willing to give your whole mind and heart to it, not a few moments of your easily spared time."

"Dharma is the same for everybody, but swadharma varies according to the kind of personality you have taken. According to your physical, social, temporal conditions, swadharma varies, but remember that swadharma can never be in contradiction of Dharma; swadharma will always be something within the ambit of Dharma.

Dharma is: fight Duryodhana. Swadharma is: fight Duryodhana with bows and arrows. Why with bows and arrows? “Because, Arjuna, that's all you can do. What else will you do?

Over the last forty-five years, Arjuna, if there is one thing that you have learned—and there is only one thing that you have learned, which is to fight. There is only one thing you have continuously practiced, which is your bow and arrow.

So, now that you have to fight Duryodhana, what other method or weapon do you have?

You have only one excellence; there is only one thing that you know. There is only one way in which you can fight Duryodhana, which is your Kshatriya way, because there is no other way that you know. So, fight Duryodhana in your own way—that is swadharma.”

Fighting Duryodhana is Dharma. Fight Duryodhana in the way you can, that is swadharma."

"It is an old association, and a misunderstanding, that to be a nonconformist is to be a rebel.

The nonconformist is a reactionary; he acts out of anger, rage, violence and ego. His action is not based in consciousness.

Although he goes against the society, just to be against the society is not necessarily to be right. In fact most of the time to move from one extreme to another is always to move from one wrong to another wrong.

The rebel acts with a tremendous balance, and that is not possible without awareness, alertness, and immense compassion. It is not a reaction, it is an action -- not against the old, but for the new.

The rebel is creating the new world so that this misery and this suffering and this ugly society disappears and man can live more naturally, more beautifully, more lovingly, more peacefully, enjoying all the riches that existence makes available, all the gifts of life which are invaluable.

Freedom, love, silence, truth, enlightenment, the ultimate flowering of your being -- all are available to the true rebel."

~Osho

“Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque. ”

~U.G. Krishnamurti

WHAT IS SPIRITUALITY? WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT?

OSHO:- All bu****it! There is no spirituality, there is no enlightenment. To know this is to be enlightened!

To be just ordinary, to live - to enjoy, to love, to dance, to sing, to create - the very ordinary existence with an extraordinary intensity, with passion, that is enlightenment.

~An excerpt from Philosophia Ultima by Osho

ACTION:

"A doing with a doer, in which one thinks himself as a doer, is action. As long as I remain a doer, whatever I do is action. Even if I take sannyas it is an act, an action."

INACTION:

"Inaction is just the opposite kind of action; it is action without a doer. Inaction does not mean absence of action, but it certainly means absence of the doer.
An egoless action is inaction. If I do a thing without the egoistic sense that I am the doer, that I am the center of this action, it is inaction.
Inaction is not laziness as is generally understood; it is very much action, but without a doer at its center. "

NON-ACTION:

"Where there is neither a doer nor a doing, yet things happen, there is non-action. For example, we breathe, which we are not required to do by our own effort. There is neither a doer nor a doing so far as acts like breathing are concerned. Similarly the blood circulates through the body, the food is digested, and the heart beats."

"Whatever satisfies Souls is true;

Prudence entirely satisfies the craving and glut of
Souls;

Itself only finally satisfies the Soul;

The Soul has that measureless pride which revolts from
every lesson but its own."

"But man has been very inhuman towards women for centuries, continuously. And the strange thing is that the man has been so cruel and inhuman towards women because he feels a deep inferiority complex in comparison to them.

The greatest problem has been that the woman is capable of becoming a mother; she is capable of giving birth to life, and man is not.

That was the beginning of the feeling of inferiority -- that nature depends on woman, not on man.

Moreover, he has found that she is in many ways stronger than him.

For example, for every one hundred and fifteen boys that are born, only one hundred girls are born -- because fifteen boys will pop off by the time they become sexually mature, but the girls will remain; they have a certain stamina. Women fall sick less than men.

Women commit su***de less than men -- although they talk about su***de more, they simply talk. At the most they take sleeping pills, but always in such a small quantity that they never die. Men commit su***de in almost double the numbers. Women live five years longer than men.

Women are more patient, more tolerant than men. Men are very impatient and very intolerant. Women are less violent than men. Women don't commit murders; it is the man who commits murders, who wages crusades, who is always getting ready for war, who invents all kinds of deadly weapons -- atomic bombs, nuclear weapons.

The woman is completely out of this whole game of death.

Hence it was no coincidence that man started feeling somehow inferior. And nobody wants to be inferior; the only way was to force the woman in artificial ways to become inferior.

For example, not to allow her education, not to allow her economic freedom, not to allow her to move out of the house, but confine her to an imprisonment."

"Man has freedom already, but he will have to discover it. He has it, but every moment forgets it.

That discovering, consciously or unconsciously, is the whole life of every one.

But the difference between the sage and the ignorant man is that one does it consciously and the other unconsciously.

Every one is struggling for freedom—from the atom to the star.

The ignorant man is satisfied if he can get freedom within a certain limit—if he can get rid of the bo***ge of hunger or of being thirsty.

But that sage feels that there is a stronger bo***ge which has to be thrown off.

He would not consider the freedom of the Red Indian as freedom at all."

~Swami Vivekananda

"Freedom is of the nature of the soul, it is its birthright."

"Freedom in all matters, i.e. advance towards Mukti (Nirvana) is the worthiest gain of man."

“Freedom, O Freedom! Freedom, O Freedom!” is the song of the soul."

~Swami Vivekananda
