The result is dimensionally same as the action, and the action is dimensionally the same as the actor. Therefore, the result is in the same dimension as the actor. Si el ser humano moderno ha perdido su experiencia del espíritu, es porque ha perdido su experiencia del silencio y su capacidad para él” Right now, when you think of liberation, you say, “I am thinking of liberation.” But when you think of having a Pizza, then according to you, you are thinking of something other than liberation. Now that the enemy has taken them away, they are with the enemy. And this little one could see a big ammunition depot. A big ammunition depot. You are already guessing it, right? There was not much, he could have done, all by himself. The enemy numbered in hundreds, hundreds of well-built, grown-up, trained soldiers, with firearms. What could the boy have done? But there was one thing that the boy could do, with a little bit of ingenious engineering. He rammed himself into the depot and blew the entire depot off. Obviously, nothing of him remained. But, it took down the entire non-sense with him. I give an example to you. I have heard of this little soldier, he was actually a civilian, in one of the wars in the last century. He was so small, he was not even trained as a soldier. His village had been invaded, the villagers had been captured, taken away for forced labour. They were being used to construct a bridge. That’s what the invading army was using the locals for, take them away and use their labour to build a bridge.

This book makes clear the meaning and purpose of meditating so that we may embark on the journey with deeper understanding and commitment. Acharya Prashant: You want to see that one special face. We all are looking for that one, final thing. These eyes, are always scanning, scanning. That’s why these ears are always….But that one, final sound, is not heard.That one, final experience, remains elusive. We exist for the sake of That. That which is liberation. We breathe for the sake of that. We come to tomorrow, so that tomorrow, THAT may come. So, it is for the sake of THAT, that time exists. It is for the sake of THAT, that all future exists. Cristo en ti”. Entonces en la oración no debemos esforzarnos para que algo ocurra. Porque ese algo ya ha sucedido.” The desire for food and the desire for liberation are according to you, diverse things. And from that divergence, is arising your question. You are saying, only for let’s say an hour a day, am I consciously thinking of liberation. For the remaining twenty-three hours, I am thinking of miscellaneous things. A, B, C, D……and L is for Liberation. And the other twenty-five letters are all for various miscellaneous things in the world, that occupy and attract us. Do you see how liberation-minded we are? We eat, breathe, live liberation. And then innocently we say, “Why are we not liberated?”

If you have previously registered at osho.com for one of our other services, you will still need to register. Then you claim ownership, and therefore it’s Ego. The ego loves the cause and effect paradigm. The ego says, “The effort is preceded by a cause, so if I can cause something to happen, I will get the desired result.” Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2020-09-16 09:06:06 Boxid IA1933110 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier You want to get Him through your actions, but your actions are just like you.

Obviously, observation cannot show the truth to you. What do you see in observation? All the falseness. Word into Silence is the first of eight sets of John Main’s collected talks. These talks were given in the 1970s in England as an introduction to meditation and a means of encouragement for those who had begun to meditate. They make clear the meaning and purpose of meditating so that we may embark on the journey with deeper understanding and commitment.

On the wall, why must a certain spot catch your attention? It does, when you want the wall to be clean, and pristine, and white. And then that little blemish is observed. Truth cannot be observed, obviously. Question: Dear master, Jiddu Krishnamurti says, “When you love, you are neither giving, nor receiving.” Acharya Ji, does love have an object? Could you explain how can we love in daily life, without giving or receiving? What is love, if it has no object? So, you just have to tell yourself, and deeply-deeply remember, that A=B=C=……X=Y=Z. And all of them equal L. L is for Liberation. But the ego does not want to believe that. The ego wants to believe that all the possible dimensions are contained in its one little dimension. So it keeps hoping, its entire little life, that it will be able to obtain, something of the beyond, while just remaining itself.The ego in wanting to attain liberation is wanting to give birth to God. If you can cause something, you are its father, aren’t you? If the ego can cause liberation, then the ego becomes the…? Father of liberation. Such is, the ego of ‘ego’. But if this becomes the end, if this becomes a purpose in itself, then this becomes an obstruction.

Old wine in a new bottle, that’s what re-birth is all about. Re-birth is not about the Atman in a new bottle. People often say that this(the body), is the ghat, the bottle. And the Atman moves from bottle to bottle. No! La meditación es la oración de fe, porque primero debemos dejar de lado nuestro ego para que el Otro aparezca, sin saber a ciencia cierta si verdaderamente aparecerá”.

This set of talks was given in the 1970s in England as an introduction to meditation and a means of encouragement for those who had begun to meditate. Will you remember that? Without love and devotion, attention is just another tension. And there are so many who think that they will be able to be attentive, without being devoted. They end up turning very, very dry. Very dry.The object of love is so gigantic, that you cannot call it an ‘object’. Further, all objects leave ample space for you to remain. All objects leave space for the dualistic subject to remain, and prosper. Why do you think that these eyes are constantly looking out at the world? What are they searching for? Have you never thought of this? Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer-phrase maranatha. Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise. If thoughts or images come, these are distractions at the time of meditation, so keep returning to simply saying the word. Meditate each morning and evening for between twenty and thirty minutes. – John Main OSB What follows is a 12 step programme for meditation. The essential mantra offered is "Maranatha" which is ancient Aramaic for "Come, Lord". The radical simplicity of this mantra is offered as the focal point for your concentration, allowing worldly distractions and illusions to melt away and, rather than pray ourselves, understand that it is the Holy Spirit praying within us that grants us our enlightenment as communion with the Lord.
