Real prayer is gratitude to God (Osho). Osho - Prayer is not a desire (1975) translation by Ma Prem Champa lyrics

Osho what is prayer read

Eating good famous story about a peasant girl from Punjab who is in love. This girl once walked thoughtfully through a field where a religious man was offering his prayers. The law of religion does not allow crossing such a place. As the village girl was walking back, the religious man said to her:

How rude you acted, foolish girl, because it is a great sin to walk through the place where a person offers prayers to God!

The girl stopped and asked in great bewilderment:

What do you mean by prayers?

Prayers? - he exclaimed. - Don’t you know, stupid girl, what prayers are? This is a conversation with God! To offer prayers means to think about God and talk to Him.

That's strange! How could you see me if you were thinking about God and talking to Him? When I passed here, I thought about my lover and talked to him in my head. That's why I didn't notice you at all.

Osho quotes

A selection of quotes from Walsh’s books “Conversations with God” and statements from other interesting authors - about the soul, love, God, and our relationship with Him, if any.

There is a way to get rid of wars, fears, worries and worries forever. This is a spiritual way. All life's problems have a spiritual origin and a spiritual solution.

The highest feeling is unity with All That Is. This is the great return to the Truth that the soul longs for. This is the feeling of perfect love.

For every heart that sincerely asks: “What is the path to God?”, the path is indicated. Everyone is given the truth that can be perceived by the heart. Come to Me by the path of your heart, but not by the path of your mind. You will never be able to find Me in your mind.

What is important for the soul? The highest feeling of love you can imagine. This is the desire of the soul. This is its meaning and purpose. The soul needs feelings. Not knowledge, but feelings. She already has knowledge, but knowledge is concepts. Feelings are experience. The soul wants to feel itself and thus know itself through its own experience.

Very few of the value judgments that you accepted as your truth were based on your own experience. But you came here precisely for the sake of experience - and it was from your experience that you had to create yourself. You created yourself from the experiences of others.

Relationships constantly test what you are capable of, constantly challenge you to create, express and experience higher and higher aspects of yourself, your ever higher worldview, your ever more wonderful ideas about yourself. Nowhere can you do this so directly, effectively and so clearly as in a relationship. In fact, you can't do all of this outside of a relationship at all.

At critical moments in all human relationships, there is only one question: “What would love do now?”

Love is as natural a function as breathing.

True love is unity, the connection of I and YOU into one whole, the absence of separation. Love is the desire to return to the One Whole, this desire to dissolve into the whole.

A person in love demands perfection from another, as if he owes him something. A woman, having fallen in love, demands perfection from a man, simply because she fell in love. A man, having fallen in love with a woman, also demands from her, as if she owes him something. This is egocentrism.

True love only knows how to give without asking for anything in return; she shares without conditions. Only greed asks and expects.

IN true love there is not and cannot be disappointment, because there are no expectations in it. As for unreal love, it can never be satisfied, since its expectations are endless - it is never enough. Therefore, fake love brings only disappointments, while real love brings complete satisfaction.

Real, Highest love is deep spiritual experience, which has nothing to do with bodies and opposite genders.

A person turns to God with a request, and such prayer is a means to achieve a goal, just a tool. For a person, the prayer itself is not important, he wants to get a result, so such a prayer cannot be called real.

Real prayer does not have any goal, it itself is the goal - it is gratitude, thanksgiving to the Almighty for allowing us to be, to inhale the aromas of flowers, to see all this diversity of life forms.

It is so wonderful to feel grateful to God that nothing can compare with this feeling. Osho says that prayer is the highest point of human happiness, and such prayer does not become a means to achieve any goal. The goal is gratitude, love for God, and when this goal is achieved, when you feel it, every moment becomes real prayer- a feeling of gratitude.

You exude this aroma, you share it, you give it to others and to God - and there is no calculation, no transaction, no expectation, no worry. This is gratitude in every moment (and for every moment) of existence, this is love, true happiness. This is a harmonious flow of energy from the soul to God and from God to the soul. You are in constant prayer and gratitude, what could be better than this?

Quotes from new conversations with God

God is in everyone's heart and speaks to us in a whisper of love.

When we stop hearing, He reveals Himself as the Voice of a Loving Conscience.

And when we can no longer hear our conscience, He is forced to shout into our mouthpiece of suffering.

For how else can He reach our hearts?

I will always protect you.

Will you call Allah, Buddha, Sabaoth, Christ or

Omnipresent Love, I will always come to your aid.

However, this help will be manifested in different ways,

depending on which Me you call upon.

and their infinitely varied relationships of mutual love!

The energies of God, including individual souls,

different from their Source

(otherwise their relationship could not have arisen)

and at the same time they are one with Him.

All events that happen happen in the Name of Love.

You are a tiny particle of this Love, and you exist,

to take my place in this gigantic plan,

in this grandiose plan of Her movement, Her life,

Her self-continuation. This Love is I Myself.

And one day you will return to Me.

You are always the servant of Great Love.

The question has never been whether to serve or not to serve God,

but your eternal choice is how to serve.

I want you to wake up because

there is a thousand times greater happiness.

And one day you will find it. Your dream is not eternal.

fulfilling your wishes,

allowing you to use Him,

without disturbing your lifestyle,

you are quite happy with this...

But what if God is a living person?

These are just a few quotes from the new book "The Voice of a Loving Conscience." To understand God as a Person more, you can read new conversations with God, which reveal Him in many ways personal qualities. The book is no less interesting and fascinating than Walsh's earlier books on this topic. She gives answers to many really important questions life, helping you navigate your desires and determine priorities. God is always ready to help us if we sincerely turn to him - no matter what religion we are in or whether we go to church at all. The book "The Voice of a Loving Conscience", published on the website "Conversations with God" is a new, fresh look at yourself, your inner world, on your desires and relationship with God. The book can be read online or downloaded in any format convenient for you. Educational reading!

Music of the soul

Rajneesh Bhagwan Shri

  • To the begining
  • Go to

Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh(Osho)

When you're early in the morning

see the sunrise, watch

in silence and inside you

sunrise also begins - this is a prayer.

When a bird soars in the sky

and you soar in the sky. And you forgot

that you are separate is prayer.

Wherever division disappears,

When you become one

with existence, with the universal whole, -

Prayer is the experience of resurrection, it is rebirth, it is the birth of a new vision... it is a new dimension, it is A New Look on things, this is a new way of life. Not something you do; but something that you become. This state of being has nothing to do with the words you say in a temple, mosque, church. It is a silent dialogue with existence.

This is attunement with the universal, with the whole... to enter into harmony with the whole is prayer. This is a great and boundless experience, and no precision is possible in it. He is indefinable; any definition is disproportionately small. Any definition conveys some part, but only a part. Much remains unsaid.

The experience of prayer is so comprehensive that it contains contradictions. Therefore, someone can say: “Prayer is silence” - and he will be right, absolutely right. Someone else can say: “Prayer is a dialogue” - and also be right, because prayer is a dialogue in silence. At first glance, “dialogue” and “silence” contradict each other. In dialogue they speak, in silence they listen. They talk in dialogue, but simply remain in silence: there is nothing to say.

What can we say? You may bow down. You can celebrate. And yet your bow, your service, your celebration, your gratitude... all these are still attempts to express. You are trying to express yourself without words, because words are so small, but your heart wants to express itself so fully. So this is a dialogue, albeit in silence. In a sense, it is a conversation in which you and the whole of existence are participating—an existence that becomes your lover, that becomes your “You.” And yet in prayer there is neither “I” nor “Thou” - one and the other disappears. Both merge together, unite into one whole, an organic whole. Like a drop of dew in the ocean, you disappear. Nothing separates you and existence. What kind of dialogue could there be?

Both definitions are correct. Those who call prayer a dialogue - like Christians, like Jews, like Hindus - are right. But they speak only of a fragment of the greatest experience called prayer. Buddhists say there is no dialogue. Jainism says that there is no dialogue - because there is neither “I” nor “Thou”. Just absolute silence. They are also right - but it is also true that approaching prayer is definitely very difficult.

Unlike science, religion cannot provide definitions. If you ask science, everything is accurate in science. You ask: “What is water?”, and science says: “H 2 0.” So simple! Exhaustively simple. “H 2 0” - and that says it all, because water belongs to the objective world. The object can be analyzed.

Prayer belongs to the world of subjectivity. This is not an object that can be analyzed. Strictly speaking, prayer cannot be shown to anyone. If someone insists: “For some reason I don’t see any prayer in you,” you will not be able to show him your prayer, you will not even be able to prove its existence. Prayer is like love—more like love than N 2 0 of water. Love is just as indefinable.

Always remember: there are things that are below you, and there are things that are above you. In those things that are under you, precision is possible. But in those things that are above you, you cannot be precise. They are bigger than you. If prayer exists, it is not prayer that exists in you - on the contrary: you exist in prayer. Prayer is above you. You are simply vibrating in this vast dimension, in this superabundance.

Meaning is a subtle phenomenon. It's like the scent of a flower. You cannot catch it, touch it with your hands, but it exists - whether you can catch it or not, whether you can put it in the safe or not. It still exists!

Taking this question further... then what is poetry? Just a set of words arranged in a certain order? No. It is something that happens when words are placed in a certain order - but more than a certain order of words. This is not grammar, this is not language - this is something transcendental; something brought to life by words. Words give rise to poetry to happen.

And it’s the same in music. Instruments, notes, sounds serve to create silence - which is music. Music is between two sounds, poetry is between two words; everything that is alive and meaningful is between the lines... Never in the lines themselves - always between the lines; you need to learn to read in the intervals, in the gaps, in the pauses.

But still, something can be said about prayer... - although nothing precise can be said, so I cannot fulfill your desire. The very nature of prayer prevents this, and it would be blasphemous to go against its nature.

So, the first thing I can say about prayer is: it is a feeling of immeasurable gratitude, gratitude. You have the opportunity to be here, in this world, in all its beauty, with all its trees and rivers, mountains and stars. In this amazing beauty you live, you pulsate with life. You don't deserve this opportunity. You received it as a gift. Prayer gives thanks for this gift of life. Just breathing is such a joy. just open your eyes and see the green leaves. - or the chirping of birds, or the sounds of running water, or the silence of the night in its velvet darkness... Or the sunset, or the morning dawn... we don’t deserve this! We received all this as a gift, but did not even express gratitude.

Whether God exists or not, we owe gratitude. People think: “If there is a God, we will thank him.” I tell you the exact opposite: “You will find God if you give thanks.” There is no other way. You will find God if you become grateful, because God happens only in this dimension of gratitude. You do not look with your ears and you do not listen with your eyes: the eyes can only see, the ears can only hear - just like that, only gratitude can find God, only gratitude can feel God.

And second: prayer is a way of life. It is not a specific set of actions performed as some kind of morning ritual. If prayer is performed as a ritual, it loses all meaning. If prayer is done as a ritual, it will not bring you religiosity - it will make you a Hindu, it will make you a Muslim, but it will not bring you religiosity. Let prayer be something completely informal: something from the heart... not a ritual, hastily performed in the morning because “it’s the right thing to do”; because that's how you were taught; because you are doing your duty. Not performing the ritual makes you feel a little guilty; Having performed the ritual, you do not get a drop of joy from it. When the ritual is not completed, the result is only a feeling of guilt. To avoid guilt, you perform a ritual. This is not prayer.

Prayer is a way of life.

What I mean? A man of prayer is in prayer twenty-four hours a day. He sleeps in prayer; his dream itself is a kind of prayer. In his sleep, he is so relaxed, as if he is sleeping in the arms of the universe. When he falls asleep, he sleeps in divinity. When he wakes up, he wakes up in divinity. He opens his eyes, and the first thing that enters his heart and his being is gratitude, endless gratitude. He eats divinity, he drinks divinity. He steps into divinity. He breathes in divinity, he breathes divinity. Throughout his twenty-four hours, prayer continues unceasingly. Like background music at the edge of hearing, prayer sounds continuously. Whatever he does does not matter: the prayer continues.

I am not telling you to repeat “Rama, Rama, Rama” or “Alla, Alla, Alla.” Repeating it won't do anything. If you start repeating “Ram, Ram, Ram,” it will disrupt the normal course of life. While driving, you will not be able to drive the car normally, because your mind will be divided. You won't be able to fully invest yourself in any job. So there is no need to repeat anything. Words and repetition have nothing to do with it at all; prayer is a kind of feeling, a kind of presence. You can imagine a sleeping mother: at night she sleeps, her child sleeps next to her... maybe during the rainy season, when there are clouds in the sky and thunder. The sound of thunder won't wake her up. But as soon as the child moves a little in her sleep, she starts to cry, and she will immediately wake up. The thunder couldn't wake her up, but the child... Even in her sleep, some part of her being remembers the child. So is prayer.

Music of the soul

When you see the sunrise early in the morning, watch in silence and the sunrise also begins within you, this is prayer. When a bird soars in the sky and you soar in the sky. And you have forgotten that you are separate - this is prayer.

Wherever division disappears, prayer arises. When you become one with existence, with the universal whole, that is prayer.

What is prayer? What is its exact definition?

Prayer is the experience of resurrection, it is rebirth, it is the birth of a new vision... it is a new dimension, it is a new way of looking at things, it is a new way of life. Not something you do; but something like you you become. This state of being has nothing to do with the words you say in a temple, mosque, church. It is a silent dialogue with existence.

This is attunement with the universal, with the whole... to enter into harmony with the whole is prayer. This is a great and boundless experience, and no accuracy is impossible in it. He is indefinable; any definition is disproportionately small. Any definition conveys some part, but only a part. Much remains unsaid.

The experience of prayer is so comprehensive that it contains contradictions. Therefore, someone can say: “Prayer is silence” - and he will be right, absolutely right. Someone else can say: “Prayer is a dialogue” - and also be right, because prayer is a dialogue in silence. At first glance, “dialogue” and “silence” contradict each other. In dialogue they speak, in silence they listen. They talk in dialogue, but simply remain in silence: there is nothing to say.

What can we say? You can bow down. You can celebrate. And yet your bow, your service, your celebration, your gratitude... all these are still attempts to express. You are trying to express yourself without words, because words are so small, but your heart wants to express itself so fully. So this is a dialogue, albeit in silence. In a sense, it is a conversation in which you and the whole of existence are participating—an existence that becomes your lover, that becomes your “You.” And yet in prayer there is neither “I” nor “Thou”—one and the other disappear. Both merge together, unite into one whole, an organic whole. Like a drop of dew in the ocean, you disappear. Nothing separates you and existence. What kind of dialogue could there be?

Both definitions are correct. Those who call prayer a dialogue - like Christians, like Jews, like Hindus - are right. But they speak only of a fragment of the greatest experience called prayer.

Prayer should remain vague, elusive, without clear outlines. Prayer must remain incomprehensible. You see it only briefly, like a fleeting glimpse, but you cannot grasp it entirely, touch it with your hands. It does not come down to a simple definition.

Unlike science, religion cannot provide definitions. If you ask science, everything is accurate in science. You ask, “What is water?” and science says, “H2O.” So simple! Exhaustively simple. “H2O” – and that says it all, because water belongs to the objective world. The object can be analyzed.

Prayer belongs to the world of subjectivity. This is not an object that can be analyzed. Strictly speaking, prayer cannot be shown to anyone. If someone insists: “For some reason I don’t see any prayer in you,” you will not be able to show him your prayer, you will not even be able to prove its existence. Prayer is like love—more like love than like H2O of water. Love is just as indefinable.

Always remember: there are things that are below you, and there are things that are above you. In those things that are under you, precision is possible. But in those things that are above you, you cannot be precise. They are bigger than you. If prayer exists, it is not prayer that exists in you—on the contrary: you exist in prayer. Prayer is above you. You are simply vibrating in this vast dimension, in this superabundance.

But we have been taught, especially in this age of science, to be precise in everything. And this persistent desire for accuracy destroyed much that was beautiful and valuable in life. If something doesn't work precise definition, the mind tries to deny its existence.

Divinity cannot be precisely defined, and the mind says, “Then divinity cannot exist.” Love cannot be precisely defined; then the mind says: “We only dreamed of love, nothing more.” Beauty cannot be precisely defined; then the mind says: “We just invented beauty. There is nothing in it except our fantasies.” But what then remains? Does this mean there is no more beauty, no love, no goodness in the world? Does this mean the world has lost all meaning? No, the world itself remained the same and did not lose its meaning; it is rendered meaningless only by your maddened desire for precision.

Meaning is a subtle phenomenon. It's like the scent of a flower. You cannot catch it, touch it with your hands, but it exists - whether you can catch it or not, whether you can put it in the safe or not. It still exists!

How to define music? If you start defining it, it will be destroyed. Then only an organized set of sounds will remain, nothing more... A certain kind of noise, organized in such a way that it no longer seems like noise. Soothing, pleasant to the ear noise. That's all? Is there really nothing else in music? No, there is more to music than notes; something more than a complete set of notes.

Taking this question further... then what is poetry? Just a set of words arranged in a certain order? No. It is something that happens when words are placed in a certain order - but more than a certain order of words. This is not grammar, this is not language - this is something transcendental; something brought to life by words. Words give rise to poetry to happen.

And it’s the same in music. Instruments, notes, sounds serve to create silence - which is music. Music is between two sounds, poetry is between two words; everything that is alive and meaningful is between the lines...

In his sleep, he is so relaxed, as if he is sleeping in the arms of the universe. When he falls asleep, he sleeps in divinity. When he wakes up, he wakes up in divinity.

Even in her sleep, some part of her being remembers the child. So is prayer.

You live everyday life, you perform ordinary actions, work, but deep inside, in the holy of holies of your being, you keep an unceasing bow to existence - prayer continues, gratitude continues. Sometimes, at some moment of silence, prayer will come to the surface; in ordinary times it continues internally, latently.

In prayer live; in prayer don't require... In prayer you entrust yourself to the silence and uncertainty of existence.

We are so small; existence is so vast... we came here only for a few moments; existence has always been and always will be. We are just small waves in this vast ocean. We can ask, but we have no right to demand. We can ask because we are not alien to existence; We are not strangers to it. We are akin to him. We are involved in it. Existence has populated its universe with us. By the will of existence we exist. We can ask. But there is no note of demand in the request. We are grateful if the request is fulfilled. We are grateful if the request is not fulfilled. Remember this. This is the beauty of prayer.

If the request is granted, we are grateful, obviously. If the request is not fulfilled, we are still grateful. Why are we grateful even when the request is not fulfilled? Because a person who knows what prayer is, who lives by prayer, also knows that sometimes we ask for what is not good for us. Existence knows better. If the request is useful to us, it will be fulfilled. If the request is not useful, it will not be fulfilled.

A little girl's favorite doll fell and broke into pieces. Sobbing over the fragments, the girl said to her brother:

“I will pray to God that he will collect the pieces and make the doll whole.”

– And you think God will answer your prayer?

- He will answer. You will see.

Two hours later the brother returned and asked his sister:

- Well, how? Has God already answered?

“He answered,” she said and pointed to the fragments. - He said no.

This is prayer. You have the right to ask, but not the right to demand. No means no. In the end, God makes the decision. The requirement implies that you have already decided everything. Demand means: you want existence to do your will. A request only means: “I lay my desire at your feet, but everything is your will - may your will be done; Thy kingdom come..." These last words Jesus on the cross - that's what prayer is!

Oosterhuis says: “No one can pray without words, because no one exists outside of language, and everything is a dialogue.” Buddha says that prayer is silence. And both are right. Oosterhus is right - in a certain sense it is true: no one can pray without words, because no one exists outside of language. Language is almost the same to us as the ocean is to fish. Language is our ocean.

So Oosterhuis is right. And he fully understands the importance of language, because he is a poet. Only a poet fully understands the importance of language - not a linguist, not a grammarian. The grammarian knows only the body of the language; the poet knows his heart, his soul, his spirit, his invisible dimension. Oosterhuis is right: no one exists outside of language, and everything is a dialogue.

Yes, prayer is a kind of dialogue. The part speaks to the whole. The part refers to the whole. And you will need to learn this dialogue.

It has never happened to you that you suddenly wanted to talk to the trees. - even though you know perfectly well that they won’t answer you? Have you sometimes had the opportunity to say hello to a rose blooming on a branch? Maybe you didn’t say anything out loud because it would look so ridiculous, but didn’t such a desire arise in you? Don't you sometimes want to talk to the stars? If not, you have lost the ability to feel. Have you ever touched a stone - with love, with tenderness. feeling its surface. Have you ever wanted to say something to everything invisible that surrounds you? This is prayer, this is dialogue.

But you have to be brave. Yes, it will take real courage - only then can prayer happen. It’s very easy to go to church and pray because that’s what people do. Nobody will call you crazy. On the contrary, you will be considered a highly religious person, worthy person, a good Christian - or Catholic, or Hindu. You will only receive everyone's respect. But if you start talking to trees... Just think: you can talk in church with a crucifix, that is, with a piece of dead wood, but you cannot talk with a tree, with a living tree! But if you can’t talk to a living tree, how can you talk to a crucifix?

Start talking to existence, to nature. Be a little crazy. Someday free yourself from the prison of your so-called sanity. It is precisely this so-called sane mind that leads to madness. Every day thousands of people go crazy. Every day, thousands of people all over the Earth commit suicide. And millions continue to live a gray and colorless life - and not for any reason, but for one single reason: they do not know prayer. They have not learned to talk to existence. They failed to pour out their hearts. Do you know why in modern world Has psychoanalysis become so important? Because people have forgotten how to pray.

The psychoanalyst is now replacing the priest, and for one reason only: before people poured out their hearts to nature, but now they cannot find someone to pour out their hearts to. They go to a psychoanalyst, they pay money. The psychoanalyst listens - they pour out their hearts. This is absolutely pointless. You might as well sit in your garden. Moreover, trees are much better as psychoanalysts: they listen so carefully, so sensitively. Talk to the stones. You can tell them anything, they won’t be offended by anything. You will be able to pour out your heart - and all your burden, all your tension will subside.

In the past, human life was so free from heaviness, so free from tension. And the reason is that everyone knew how to enter into prayer. Prayer happened naturally. A man went out to the mountains and rivers, to the sun and to the moon, and he talked to them... all these are the faces of God. - manifestations of the divine. Trembling with life, pulsating with this moment, now.

So when I tell you to start talking to trees, I'm giving you your first lesson in prayer. Churches are created by man. Avoid everything that is created by man, because everything that is created by man carries with it all human neurosis. Wouldn't it be better to turn to something created by God? If you want to feel God, turn to what God created - go to where you will find his seal.

Churches were created by man - both temples and mosques. In them you will find only a person, a person with his own politics. In them you will find only a man, a man with all his stupidity. Trees are not that stupid; stars are not that stupid. Go to them, open your heart to them - enter into a dialogue with nature. And one day a miracle will happen when suddenly you see that the tree has responded. Then you will know what prayer is; then you will understand Oosterhus, who says that prayer is a dialogue. Yes, one day the tree responds - you just need to wait, you just need to have enough patience. You just need to convince the tree that yes, you really are addressing him or her, talking to him or her - that's all. This will take a little time.

Man treated the trees so cruelly that they became withdrawn and distrustful. Let the tree understand, let the tree feel that you are not crazy, that there is no violence, no aggressiveness in you - that you came to it with love, with the greatest love.

So, prayer must begin with dialogue - but with whom? I propose a dialogue with nature. Even an atheist can enter into such a dialogue. I don't bring God into it. First, enter into a dialogue with nature - these are the basics of prayer. And then, together with nature, little by little, begin to move into silence. Sitting next to blooming rose, go with her into silence without thought or word: you and the rose, together without words, and between you there is only a pulse of silence... waves of silence.

In dialogue you experience the divine in the world of manifestation, in natural world; in silence you recognize the divine as unmanifest. Buddha is also right: he talks about the very pinnacle of prayer. But this peak becomes achievable only if you start with what is closest to you. The path to the highest begins with the closest.

The ancient Jews had a special word - Maranatha. It means: “Come, Lord, come!” This is the prayer: “I am ready. My heart is open to you! I'm waiting. Come, Lord, come!” -...waiting with the greatest patience, with all your doors and windows wide open, so that his wind will blow freely in you, so that his sun will penetrate the holy of holies of your being and fill you with light: “Come, Lord, come!”

The Jews had another word, Hosanna- which means: “Come and deliver us!” Come and deliver us from our ignorance! Come and deliver us from our limitations. Come and deliver us from our limits, free us from this prison in which we have imprisoned ourselves. Come and give us freedom! Come and deliver us - come and free us!”

The very name of Christ, “Jesus,” means “He who sets free.” His original name was Yeshua - or Jesus. His name means: “He who came to liberate.” The words “Hosanna” and “Yeshua” have the same root in Hebrew, and they are connected to each other as a question and an answer, as a hope and fulfillment, as a prayer and a response, an answer to prayer.

If you are absorbed in prayer, fervent and passionate, the answer comes. Jesus was the answer to many prayers. Buddha was the answer to many prayers, as were Mahavira, Mohammed, and Nanak. These are the answers! Accept them as answers to the many who have prayed. The master appears when the student is ready - nothing else. If the student has truly prepared his heart, opened up, become vulnerable, thrown off his armor, the master instantly appears. The student is the question; master is the answer.

Prayer is like a bridge between question and answer, between student and master, between seeker and sought, between the closest, immediately close and the most distant, highest, between desire and fulfillment.

Prayer is born out of our love, in the experience of love - just like when we turn to each other... Maybe you have ever felt how different the same word can be? We speak the same words, but the quality changes. When the word “you” is addressed to a person who is indifferent to you, there is no prayer in this word... But when you say “you” to the woman or man you love, the word is the same, but the quality has become different. When you say the same word “you” to the woman you love, there is prayer in it, there is love in it. The word trembles with life, pulsates, flows. When you say “you” to the first person you meet in the market square, this word is lifeless.

Prayer gradually emerged from the experience of love. When one person loves another, he is filled with the greatest joy - and to those who are intelligent enough, to those who are aware enough, one day it became clear: “If loving one person brings so much joy, how much joy will love for all things bring me!” Love paved the way for prayer.

When people love, they pray to each other. Look at their eyes when they look at each other. This sacred look. It may not last more than a moment, but in that moment the flame burns. At this moment a messenger of the beyond appears. When people love, they pray to each other. This is how one lover says “you” to another - in this word there is respect, and trust, and desperate thirst. So someone says “you” to you - and in this word there is hope, and awe, and awe, and strength; and a request or affection is heard in the voice.

I have read this mantra here before. But today I really needed it.

I only read it once. And my soul became much lighter.

Yesterday I was a real turkey

Fortunately, it brought something back to earth and did not destroy the relationship.

My husband and I are doing well. We live in peace and happiness.

But sometimes a couple of times a year we turn into a turkey and a turkey.

I hope this becomes less frequent.

And we will finally serve them to the festive table.

How lovely! True, it becomes more fun. I would say it is even written with humor.

I printed it out and gave it to my husband and children. The husband noticeably softened, the daughter laughed and said, “Mom, this is about me, about me!))).” It looks like everyone is feeling a lot better. It is written very seriously and at the same time with good humor...

Mantra for the Offended by Osho

Words that will quickly relieve you of resentment!

I'm very vulnerable.

Mantra for the Offended by Osho

I don't value my life. I don’t value my life so much that I don’t mind wasting her precious time on being offended. I will give up a moment of joy, a moment of happiness, a minute of playfulness; I would rather give this moment to my resentment. And I don’t care that these frequent minutes turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. I don’t mind spending years of my life in resentment - after all, I don’t value my life.

I'm very vulnerable. I am so vulnerable that I am forced to protect my territory and respond with resentment to everyone who offends it. I'll hang a sign on my forehead saying, "Caution" angry dog"and let only someone try not to notice her! I will surround my vulnerability with high walls, and I don’t care that through them I cannot see what is happening outside - but my vulnerability will be safe.

I'm a beggar.

The best way to deal with resentment from OSHO

One of the ways to work with resentment is to intensify it, take it to the extreme and ultimately to the point of absurdity, even to the point of disappearance.

I'm such an important turkey, that I cannot allow someone to act according to their nature if I do not like it. I am such an important turkey that if someone said or acted differently than I expected, I will punish him with my resentment. Oh, let him see how important this is - my offense, let him receive it as punishment for his “misdemeanor.” After all, I am a very, very important turkey!

I don't value my life. I don’t value my life so much that I don’t mind wasting her precious time on being offended. I will give up a moment of joy, a moment of happiness, a minute of playfulness; I would rather give this moment to my resentment. And I don’t care that these frequent minutes turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. I don’t mind spending years of my life in resentment - after all, I don’t value my life.

I'm very vulnerable. I am so vulnerable that I am forced to protect my territory and respond with resentment to everyone who offends it. I will hang a sign on my forehead “Beware of the evil dog” and just let someone try not to notice it! I will surround my vulnerability with high walls, and I don’t care that through them I cannot see what is happening outside - but my vulnerability will be safe.

I'll make a mountain out of a mountain. I’ll take this half-dead fly of someone else’s blunder, I’ll react to it with my offense. I will not write in my diary how beautiful the world is, I will write how vilely they treated me. I won’t tell my friends how much I love them, I’ll devote half the evening to how much I was offended. I will have to pour so much of my own and other people’s strength into the fly so that it becomes an elephant. After all, it’s easy to brush off a fly or not even notice it, but not an elephant. So I inflate flies to the size of elephants.

I'm a beggar. I am so poor that I cannot find in myself a drop of generosity in order to forgive, a drop of self-irony in order to laugh, a drop of generosity in order not to notice, a drop of wisdom in order not to get caught, a drop of love in order to accept. I simply don’t have these drops, because I am very, very limited and poor.

Humor connects your fractured parts. Humor will glue disparate fragments into one whole.

Haven't you noticed? – when you laugh heartily, suddenly the fragments disappear and you become whole. When you laugh, the soul and body merge into one - they laugh together.

When you think, body and soul are separate. When you cry or laugh, body and soul merge into one; they act in harmony.

Always remember: those things are good, good things come from those things that make you one. Laughter, tears, dancing, singing - everything that makes you whole, everything that brings you into action is harmonious, not fragmented.

Thinking can continue in the head, and the body can do a thousand and one things; you can go on eating, but meanwhile the mind goes on thinking. This is splitting. You are walking along the road: your body is walking, but you are thinking... You are not thinking about the road, you are not thinking about the trees that surround it, not about the sun, not about the people walking by, but about other things, about other worlds.

But laugh, and if the laughter is really deep, if it is not just a fake sound made by the lips alone, then suddenly you will feel that body and soul are working together. Laughter is not only in the body, it penetrates to the very depths, to the very center. It arises from the being itself and spreads to the periphery.

In laughter you merge into one.

Osho Rajneesh. Mirror of enlightenment. Message from the Playing Spirit

Prayer - farewell to the ego

Prayer is the only thing in which a person immerses himself completely. Prayer becomes all-encompassing when nothing remains outside of the person offering it. If you are not completely immersed in prayer, then it becomes a superficial act. But a prayer can be so deep that the person offering it disappears and only prayer remains. True prayer is transformation. Transformation does not come after prayer, it happens in prayer itself. And no one can fulfill your prayer. No one can pray for you. You will experience transformation only through your own prayer. And do not expect the fruits of prayer to appear in the future, for it itself is a fruit. And calmly forget about prayer after it has been offered, for it itself is a fruit.

When you say a prayer, you say goodbye to your ego. Prayer is the complete acceptance of your insignificance. Until you become nothing, you cannot offer a prayer. In prayer, the music of recognizing one's complete helplessness blossoms. Prayer is a recognition that all my actions only confused me and became my hell, burden, prison. And in a repentant spirit I cry: “O God, now You act through me. Now You lead me.” But that doesn't mean God will lead you. Prayer itself will lead, for prayer is great power. The energy hidden in prayer is many times more powerful than the energy hidden in an atom. Experience it.

“Mantra for getting rid of grievances” from Osho

It happens that you are offended by a person and you no longer remember why. And it seems like it’s time to let go and forget, but some sediment remains in my soul. What should I do?

One of the methods is to go the opposite way and not get rid of the resentment, but strengthen it to the maximum and bring it to the point of absurdity.

There is such a funny, but very effective Osho mantra that you can print out, and after spending just a couple of minutes, read in front of the mirror with important look. The resentment will go away. Checked!

Osho's prayer for grievances

There is a well-known story about a peasant girl from Punjab who fell in love. This girl once walked thoughtfully through a field where a religious man was offering his prayers. The law of religion does not allow crossing such a place. As the village girl was walking back, the religious man said to her:

How rude you acted, foolish girl, because it is a great sin to walk through the place where a person offers prayers to God!

The girl stopped and asked in great bewilderment:

What do you mean by prayers?

Prayers? - he exclaimed. - Don’t you know, stupid girl, what prayers are? This is a conversation with God! To offer prayers means to think about God and talk to Him.

That's strange! How could you see me if you were thinking about God and talking to Him? When I passed here, I thought about my lover and talked to him in my head. That's why I didn't notice you at all.

Conversation 11 Not the mind, not the Buddha, not the world

Subhuti was one of the Buddha's disciples. He was able to understand the power of emptiness - that is, the point of view that everything exists only in relation to the subjective or objective.

One day, as Subhuti was sitting under a tree in a state of sublime emptiness, flowers began to fall on the ground around him.

“We praise you for talking about emptiness,” the gods whispered to him.

“But I did not talk about emptiness,” said Subhuti.

“You didn’t talk about emptiness, we didn’t hear emptiness. - the gods answered - This is true emptiness."

And the petals rained down on Subhuti.

Yes, this happens. This is not a metaphor, this is a fact - so do not take this story figuratively. That's literally how it was. Because the entire existence experiences happiness, bliss, delight when just one soul reaches the Supreme.

We are part of the One, and the One is not indifferent to us, it cannot be. How can a mother be indifferent to her child—her own child? This is impossible. The child grows, and the mother grows with him. When a child is happy, the mother is happy with him. When a child dances, something inside the mother also dances. When a child is sick, the mother is sick too. When the child is unhappy, the mother is unhappy. Because they are not two different people; they are one. Their hearts beat in unison.

The One is your mother. The One is not indifferent to you. Let this truth penetrate your heart as deeply as possible, because just the realization that the One rejoices with you will change you. Then you are not isolated, then you are not a stranger here. Then you are not a homeless wanderer, then this is your home. And the One surrounds you with maternal care and love. So it is natural that when one becomes a buddha, when one reaches the highest point, the whole existence dances, the whole existence sings.

The whole existence is celebrating. And that's literally true. This is not a metaphor, remember, otherwise you will miss the whole point.

The petals are falling, they are always raining - never stopping.

The petals that showered Subhuti are still falling.

They are not visible to you - not because they do not crumble, but because you are not able to see them.

Existence endlessly celebrates everyone who has ever become a buddha, everyone who is becoming a buddha, everyone who will become a buddha because for Existence there is no past, no present, no future. This is the extent. This is eternity. There is only now, an infinite now.

They're still falling off, but you can't see them. You will not see them until they shower you, and once you see them shower you, you will see that they have showered every buddha, every enlightened soul.

First: Existence cares what happens to you. Existence offers prayers for the Supreme to happen to you. In fact, you are nothing more than the hand of the One, with which it reaches out to the Supreme. You are just a wave that the One wants to pester the moons with. You are just a blossoming bud through which the One will be filled with fragrance.

If you can drop yourself, these petals will shower you this very morning, this very moment. The gods are always ready. Their palms are full of petals. They just watch and wait. As soon as someone like Subhuti becomes empty, absent, petals begin to rain on him.

This is one of the basic facts. Without this there is no possibility of trust. Without this there is no possibility for you to achieve the Truth. Without the help of the One you have no possibility of achieving - how will you achieve? And usually our mind thinks quite the opposite. We think of the One as an enemy, never as a friend, and never as a mother. We think of the One as if it were trying to destroy us. We look at the One through the gate of death, not through the gate of birth. Everything looks as if the One is against you, is at war with you, prevents you from achieving your goals and objectives, prevents you from realizing yourself. And you are constantly waging war with him. And the more you fight, the more your delusion is confirmed - because you fight, your own fight is reflected through the One.

The One supports you, remember this. Even when you're struggling. The One supports you. Even when you are struggling and you are wrong. The One supports you. This is the second truth that needs to be well understood. If you don't understand, it will be difficult for you to move on

Even if you fight against the One, it supports you - because it knows nothing else but to support you. If you fail, the One still cares for you. Even if you are wrong, the One goes with you. If a child makes mistakes, the mother still loves him. If a child becomes a thief or gets sick, the mother will still not leave him. She won't be able to harm the child. If the child completely goes astray, the mother will still pray for him. This is the essence of Jesus' story about the two brothers.

One of them left his father, but not only his father, but also the righteous path, wasted his part of the inheritance, became a beggar, a gambler and a drunkard. The other stayed with his father, helped in business, worked in the garden and on the farm, increased his fortune, helped his father as best he could and served him in a spirit of humility. Then they suddenly received news that the other brother had become a beggar, that he was begging on the streets, and the father’s whole heart ached for him, and all his prayers were only for him. He completely forgot about his son who was nearby; he remembered only the one that was far away. He dreamed about that son at night, and not the one who was nearby, worked for him and was good in all respects.

And one day the prodigal son returned, and his father held a big celebration. A good son was returning home from the farm, and someone said to him: “Look at the injustice of your father! You love him, care about him, serve him, and you were with him all the time, you were kind, decent, you didn’t do anything against him, but they never held a feast in your honor. The fattest lamb was slaughtered for your brother, who left home and returns as a beggar, and the whole house celebrates!”

The son, a good son, felt offended. It was absurd. He came home angry. "What are you doing? They never held a feast for me, and yet I served you. and what did he do for you? I squandered my inheritance, lost everything at cards, and returned as a tramp!”

The father said, “Yes, I don’t need to worry about you because you are there, you are kind, and you are happy. But he is the prodigal son - and my prayers are with him, and my love is with him.”

Jesus told this story to his disciples over and over again because, according to him, God can forget about the saints, there is no need to remember them, but God cannot forget about sinners.

I have read this mantra here before. But today I really needed it.

I only read it once. And my soul became much lighter.

Yesterday I was a real turkey :)

Fortunately, it brought something back to earth and did not destroy the relationship.

My husband and I are doing well. We live in peace and happiness.

But sometimes a couple of times a year we turn into a turkey and a turkey.

I hope this becomes less frequent.

And we will finally serve them to the festive table.

How lovely! True, it becomes more fun. I would say it is even written with humor.

I printed it out and gave it to my husband and children. The husband noticeably softened, the daughter laughed and said, “Mom, this is about me, about me!))).” It looks like everyone is feeling a lot better. It is written very seriously and at the same time with good humor...

I don’t mind spending years of my life in resentment - after all, I don’t value my life.

I'm very vulnerable. I am so vulnerable that I am forced to protect my territory and respond with resentment to everyone who offends it. I will hang a sign on my forehead “Beware of the evil dog” and just let someone try not to notice it! I will surround my vulnerability with high walls, and I don’t care that through them I cannot see what is happening outside - but my vulnerability will be safe.

I'm a beggar. I am so poor that I cannot find in myself a drop of generosity in order to forgive, a drop of self-irony in order to laugh, a drop of generosity in order not to notice, a drop of wisdom in order not to get caught, a drop of love in order to accept. I simply don’t have these drops, because I am very, very limited and poor.

Mantra for the offended. Osho

At the forum of the Institute of Innovative Psychotechnologies, my colleague Neringa Mikalauskaite published a very psychotherapeutic “Mantra for the Offended.”

Having searched for the author, I discovered with interest that it was Osho. Who doesn’t know, Osho is such an Indian guru, very sensational. The author of many books and the founder of an entire school (according to some information sources - a sect). During my school days, I reveled in his books about mindfulness, intimacy, courage, intuition, and more.

Later I was “switched” to something else and Osho fell out of my sight. Out of interest, I recently opened one of his books - it didn’t “get me”, although in some places it was very... The ideas are good, but as such there is no effective tool for their implementation. This is why I love modern psychotherapy, in particular Existential neuroprogramming- there ideas are taken, among other things, from Eastern practices, and there is an arsenal of working methods.

I liked the mantra for the offended, so I am happy to share it with you.

“I am such an important turkey that I cannot allow anyone to act according to their nature if I don’t like it. I am such an important turkey that if someone said or acted differently than I expected, I will punish him with my resentment. Oh, let him see how important this is - my offense, let him receive it as punishment for his “misdemeanor.” After all, I am a very, very important turkey! I don't value my life. I don’t value my life so much that I don’t mind wasting her precious time on being offended. I will give up a moment of joy, a moment of happiness, a minute of playfulness; I would rather give this moment to my resentment. And I don’t care that these frequent minutes turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. I don’t mind spending years of my life in resentment - after all, I don’t value my life. I don't know how to look at myself from the outside. I'm very vulnerable. I am so vulnerable that I am forced to protect my territory and respond with resentment to everyone who offends it. I will hang a sign on my forehead “Beware of the evil dog” and just let someone try not to notice it! I am so poor that I cannot find in myself a drop of generosity in order to forgive, a drop of self-irony in order to laugh, a drop of generosity in order not to notice, a drop of wisdom in order not to get caught, a drop of love in order to accept. After all, I am a very, very important turkey!”

“Mantra for the Offended” by Osho

An exercise that helps hundreds of thousands of people smile and forget about grudges every day.

One of the ways to work with resentment is to intensify it, take it to the extreme and ultimately to the point of absurdity, even to the point of disappearance. Osho's mantra is perfect for this technology.

To enhance the effect, you can print it out, stand in front of a mirror and read it with expression. The effectiveness of the mantra has been proven by hundreds of thousands of people:

“I am such an important turkey that I cannot allow anyone to act according to their nature if I don’t like it. I am such an important turkey that if someone said or acted differently than I expected, I will punish him with my resentment. Oh, let him see how important this is - my offense, let him receive it as punishment for his “misdemeanor.” After all, I am a very, very important turkey!

I don't value my life. I don’t value my life so much that I don’t mind wasting her precious time on being offended. I will give up a moment of joy, a moment of happiness, a minute of playfulness; I would rather give this moment to my resentment.

I will surround my vulnerability with high walls, and I don’t care that through them I cannot see what is happening outside - but my vulnerability will be safe.

I'll make a mountain out of a mountain. I’ll take this half-dead fly of someone else’s blunder, I’ll react to it with my offense. I will not write in my diary how beautiful the world is, I will write how vilely they treated me. I won’t tell my friends how much I love them, I’ll devote half the evening to how much I was offended. I will have to pour so much of my own and other people’s strength into the fly so that it becomes an elephant. After all, it’s easy to brush off a fly or not even notice it, but not an elephant. So I inflate flies to the size of elephants.

I'm a beggar. I am so poor that I cannot find in myself a drop of generosity in order to forgive, a drop of self-irony in order to laugh, a drop of generosity in order not to notice, a drop of wisdom in order not to get caught, a drop of love in order to accept. I simply don’t have these drops, because I am very, very limited and poor.”

Repeat loudly out loud until the offense disappears.

Best done at night dark room, going to bed immediately after meditation, or in the morning, always followed by rest for at least 15 minutes.

Download(zip):

1. First stage(⏰ 2-3 min).

Raise both arms up towards the sky, extend your palms, and turn your face up too. And just feel the living stream flowing into you. Allow the energy to flow through your hands like a gentle breeze flows through leaves.

Music for meditation online (full track, all chakras):

2. Second stage(⏰ 2-3 min).

When you feel absolutely full, lie face down and rest, becoming a conduit for Divine energy to connect through you to the Earth.

Repeat these 2 stages at least 6 times.

A comment

In the first stage of this meditation, you are filled with the energy of the cosmos. Ask for energy from existence, from the infinite cosmos, from the Master (Osho), fill yourself with more and more subtle cosmic and infinite energies of all existence. It is quite possible that you will begin to shake - let it be, do not suppress or accelerate yourself on purpose. It is convenient to perform it while sitting in vajrasana (with your hands raised, of course):

If your legs become numb, a pad placed under your heel or a small bench will help.

The second stage is tasting, pouring out all the energy received - do not leave anything for yourself, empty yourself completely. Along with this energy, your blocks will be “poured” into the ground, tensions will be washed away, and unclean energy will leave. Vajrasana(with hands raised) the first stage is convenient because it is easy to make shishankasana in the second:

Postures (asanas) are optional, this is not yoga. Here they are given according to their similarity to the body position that is comfortable. It is quite possible that slightly different ones will suit you.

The entire complex is repeated six more times according to the traditional (for India) number energy centers human - chakras. Total only seven times fill with the sky, pour out into the earth seven times. Doing less is not recommended; If you've already started, why stop halfway? More is at your discretion; the effect will be minimal if each repetition of the stages was performed completely. There is no point in being greedy and not giving - you are not only subconsciously accustoming yourself to, but along with being filled with cosmic energies, the energy of internal tensions stirred up by it will remain inside and simply will not allow you to sleep normally. Imagine that you are a bottle, and the exercise is pouring water into it to cleanse it from the inside.

If meditation is performed in the morning, then the stage of complete rest is to lie down in shavasana or sit down and relax, observing everything that happens inside, without doing anything and without chasing thoughts or emotions. A very traditional stage for all meditation techniques. :)

Comments by Osho

from book "":

Meditation-prayer

“For me, prayer means feeling, it means floating in the flow of nature. If you want to speak, speak, but remember that your words act on Being. They will affect you and this may be good, but prayer will not replace God’s intentions.” .

"It (prayer) can change you, but if it doesn't change you, then it's just a trick. You can pray for years, but if it doesn't change you, leave it, throw it away. It's garbage. Don't drag it around anymore."

"Prayer will not change God. You always think that if you pray, God's intentions will change. He will be more favorable to you, He will be more on your side. No! The vast sky, wholeness can only be with you if you can be with him There is no other way to pray."

“I also suggest that you pray, but prayer should be an energetic phenomenon - not “worship of God,” but an energetic phenomenon.”

"Just be silent, just open yourself. Raise both hands, palms up, towards the sky, and just feel Being flowing through you. As the energy (or prana) flows down your hands, feel a slight trembling. Be like a leaf in the wind , - trembling. Let it happen, help it. Then let your whole body vibrate with energy. Just let what happened happen."

"After two or three minutes, when you feel completely filled with energy, bend down and kiss the earth. Become simply a conduit to allow the divine energy to merge with the earth. Again, feel that you are flowing with the earth: heaven and earth, up and down, yin and yang, male and female... Go with the flow, mix, abandon yourself completely. You are not. You have become one with everything, dissolved, mixed."

“These two stages need to be repeated seven times to unblock each of the chakras. You can repeat it more, but you can’t do it less than seven times. Otherwise, you will experience anxiety and insomnia.”

“It is better to perform this prayer at night, in a darkened room, and go to bed immediately after it. Or it can be performed in the morning, but then it should be followed by fifteen minutes of rest. Rest is mandatory. Otherwise, you will feel like you are drunk, in a stupor.”

“This merging with energy is prayer. It changes you, and when you change, the whole of Being changes.”

in the book " Meditation - the art of inner ecstasy"There is a description of this practice:

Mass prayer

This meditation can be done in a group of at least three people, but it is most effective when done in a large group. It is best to do it in the evening.

Stand in a circle, holding hands, close your eyes. Start singing slowly, as loudly as you can without causing yourself any discomfort: holly... holly... holly... (... ... - light..).

Let silence (valley) lie between words (mountains). After three to four minutes, a natural harmony and rhythm will arise between the participants.

When you sing, feel that everything is holy. Every thing is holy, every person is holy, you are holy. Everything is holy, and all things are parts of the Whole. Feel the reality of holiness and unity of yourself and everything around you. Let your ego connect and dissolve with other egos in this chant.

Osho said: "Those who have eyes see a column of energy emerging from a group. One person will not do much, but imagine five hundred meditators joining hands in this prayer."

After about ten minutes, or when the leader releases his hands, everyone kneel down, kiss the ground and allow the energy to flow into the ground, back to the source from which it came.

How to cope with resentment in 5 minutes (mantra from Osho, full version)

Resentment comes in different forms. Most often we are offended by others. And it happens that we are offended by ourselves.

The grudge is long-standing. Some grievances stretch back to childhood.

And there are fresh grievances. The emotions they cause are often so strong that they simply prevent us from living normally.

What is the fastest way to get rid of resentment?

Everything is very simple!

We need to strengthen it. To such an extent that at some point it will become absurd for you.

For this, the famous Osho created a special mantra.

1. Print out the mantra.

2. Stand in front of a mirror.

3. Read the mantra aloud and loudly.

4. Be emotional.

5. Read until you are completely free of resentment.

The effectiveness of this mantra has been confirmed by thousands and thousands of people. And you will like it.

It is often difficult to let go of your turkey.

But now, most likely, your condition has changed. Usually after reading the offense goes away. A state of acceptance and peace ensues.

Write in the comments how it happens for you. And what do you do in case of resentment to change your condition?

About true love (what it means to truly love)

I have read this mantra here before. But today I really needed it.

I only read it once. And my soul became much lighter.

Yesterday I was a real turkey :)

Fortunately, it brought something back to earth and did not destroy the relationship.

My husband and I are doing well. We live in peace and happiness.

But sometimes a couple of times a year we turn into a turkey and a turkey.

I hope this becomes less frequent.

And we will finally serve them to the festive table.

How lovely! True, it becomes more fun. I would say it is even written with humor.

I printed it out and gave it to my husband and children. The husband noticeably softened, the daughter laughed and said, “Mom, this is about me, about me!))).” It looks like everyone is feeling a lot better. It is written very seriously and at the same time with good humor...

“Mantra for getting rid of grievances” from Osho

It happens that you are offended by a person and you no longer remember why. And it seems like it’s time to let go and forget, but some sediment remains in my soul. What should I do?

One of the methods is to go the opposite way and not get rid of the resentment, but strengthen it to the maximum and bring it to the point of absurdity.

There is such a funny, but very effective Osho mantra that you can print out and, in just a couple of minutes, read in front of the mirror with an important look. The resentment will go away. Checked!

Osho Rajneesh. Mirror of enlightenment. Message from the Playing Spirit

Prayer - farewell to the ego

Prayer is the only thing in which a person immerses himself completely. Prayer becomes all-encompassing when nothing remains outside of the person offering it. If you are not completely immersed in prayer, then it becomes a superficial act. But a prayer can be so deep that the person offering it disappears and only prayer remains. True prayer is transformation. Transformation does not come after prayer, it happens in prayer itself. And no one can fulfill your prayer. No one can pray for you. You will experience transformation only through your own prayer. And do not expect the fruits of prayer to appear in the future, for it itself is a fruit. And calmly forget about prayer after it has been offered, for it itself is a fruit.

When you say a prayer, you say goodbye to your ego. Prayer is the complete acceptance of your insignificance. Until you become nothing, you cannot offer a prayer. In prayer, the music of recognizing one's complete helplessness blossoms. Prayer is a recognition that all my actions only confused me and became my hell, burden, prison. And in a repentant spirit I cry: “O God, now You act through me. Now You lead me.” But that doesn't mean God will lead you. Prayer itself will lead, for prayer is great power. The energy hidden in prayer is many times more powerful than the energy hidden in an atom. Experience it.

Prayer to all those offended by Osho

Prayer. Parables from Osho. Parables about women.

There is a well-known story about a peasant girl from Punjab who fell in love. This girl once walked thoughtfully through a field where a religious man was offering his prayers. The law of religion does not allow crossing such a place. As the village girl was walking back, the religious man said to her:

How rude you acted, foolish girl, because it is a great sin to walk through the place where a person offers prayers to God!

The girl stopped and asked in great bewilderment:

What do you mean by prayers?

Prayers? - he exclaimed. - Don’t you know, stupid girl, what prayers are? This is a conversation with God! To offer prayers means to think about God and talk to Him.

That's strange! How could you see me if you were thinking about God and talking to Him? When I passed here, I thought about my lover and talked to him in my head. That's why I didn't notice you at all.

Human. Don't interrupt me, I'm praying.

God. But you called Me.

Human. Did I call you? I didn't call you, I prayed. Our Father who art in heaven...

God. Well, you've done it again.

Human. What did you do?

God. You called Me, you said: “Our Father who art in heaven.” Here I am. What happened to you?

Human. But I didn't mean anything by this. You know, just saying my daily prayer. I always pray like this. I feel like it's my responsibility...

Sage's Prayer

The sage addressed the Lord:

“Hear me, my Heavenly Father!

God, I stand before You

All as is, with an open soul...

I don't accumulate wealth in chests,

I don’t wear either gold or silk.

I thank you for bread and shelter,

And because You gave me love."

And the Lord listened to that prayer,

Artless, sincere, simple.

And he answered it from Heaven:

"You have a miracle of miracles,

More than riches of riches,

What is more valuable than the most exquisite dishes:

The gift of love is your calling,

One evening, returning from the market, the poor farmer did not find his prayer book. It so happened that the wheel of his cart broke right in the middle of the forest, and he was very upset that he would have to live this day without prayer.

So he came up with a new prayer:

God, I did the stupidest thing today. This morning I left the house without my prayer book, and my memory is so bad that I can’t remember anything. So I decided to do this: I will read the alphabet five times very slowly. I will read it to someone who knows all the known prayers, who is able to put the letters together to form a prayer.

And the Lord said to the angels:

Of all the prayers I have heard from a farmer, this is undoubtedly the best. For this time she came from his very heart - sincere and open.

He did not profess any one religion and believed that the most important criterion a person's life is whether he is happy or not. Osho himself said that he does not have a system, because systems are initially dead.

At birth he was given the name Chandra Mohan Jein, but in history he remained as “Osho” ​​- literally translated as “monk” or “teacher”. His instructions truly inspire and force you to reconsider your approach to life.

Osho's tips to know yourself

What difference does it make who is stronger, who is smarter, who is more beautiful, who is richer? After all, in the end, the only thing that matters is whether you are a happy person or not.

People take everything so seriously that it becomes a burden to them. Learn to laugh more. To me, laughter is as holy as prayer.

If you are rich, don't think about it, if you are poor, don't take your poverty seriously. If you are able to live in peace, remembering that the world is only a performance, you will be free, you will not be touched by suffering. Suffering only comes from taking life seriously. Start treating life like a game, enjoy it.

Love, and let love be as natural to you as breathing. If you love a person, don't demand anything from him; otherwise you will build a wall between you at the very beginning. Don't expect anything. If something comes to you, be grateful. If nothing comes, then it doesn’t need to come, there’s no need for it. You have no right to wait.

Never mistake anything else for love... In the presence of another, suddenly you feel happy. Just because you are together, you feel ecstasy. The very presence of another satisfies something deep in your heart... something begins to sing in your heart. The very presence of another helps you to be more collected, you become more individual, more centered, more balanced. Then it's love. Love is not a passion, not an emotion. Love is a very deep understanding that someone completes you. Someone makes you a vicious circle. The presence of another increases your presence. Love gives you the freedom to be yourself.

About my path

First, listen to yourself. Learn to enjoy your own company. Become so happy that you will no longer be bothered whether someone comes to you or not. You are already full. You don't wait in trepidation to see if someone will knock on your door. Are you at home already. If someone comes, great. No - that's also good. Only with such an attitude can you start a relationship.

Every action leads to an immediate result. Be careful and observe. A mature person is one who has found himself, who has determined what is right and wrong, good and bad for him. He did it himself, so he has a huge advantage over those who do not have an opinion.

We are all unique. No one has the right to tell you what is right and what is wrong. Life is an experiment in which we define these changing concepts every day. Sometimes you may do something wrong, but that is how you will benefit greatly.

There are times when God comes and knocks on your door. It can happen in one of a million ways - through a woman, a man, a child, love, a flower, a sunset or a sunrise... Be open to hear it.

Courage is moving into the unknown, despite all fears. Courage is not the absence of fear. Fearlessness happens when you become bolder and bolder. But at the very beginning the difference between a coward and a daredevil is not so great. The only difference is that a coward listens to his fears and follows them, while a daredevil leaves them aside and moves on.

You change every moment. You are like a river. Today it flows in one direction and climate. Tomorrow will be different. I never saw the same face twice. Everything changes. Nothing stands still. But it takes very discerning eyes to see this. Otherwise the dust settles and everything becomes old; it seems that everything has already happened.

When you feel like everything is boring, kick yourself hard. Yourself, not another.
