The east raise the lower to the potential of higher. id:: 62a4e1f8-4e73-4e6c-a3ce-9bc0ebb13375 - Silence and Innocence id:: 62dfd87c-5839-4548-898a-9149db72ec8f - Maturity means the same as innocence, only with one difference: it is innocence reclaimed, it is innocence recaptured. - Innocence is not knowledgeable, but it is not desirous of being knowledgeable either. It is utterly content, fulfilled. - With silence and innocence you penetrate your own innermost core. - Whenever you understand that you have missed life, the first principle to be brought back is innocence. id:: 62e1ef28-153a-4e48-910a-7871c4f6271b - Random Highlights collapsed:: true - Guests come and they have to leave their shoes outside; it is a temple. And as you enter the temple you cannot speak; you have to leave your thinking and thoughts and speech outside with your shoes. You sit down in a meditative posture and the host, the woman who prepares tea for you—her movements are so graceful, as if she is dancing, moving around preparing tea, putting cups and saucers before you as if you are gods. With such respect … she will bow down, and you will receive it with the same respect. #osho/maturity - If the anger was painful, poisonous, you suffered hell through it, what is the point of deciding or taking a vow and going to the temple and declaring, “Now I take a vow that I will never be angry again”? All this is childish, there is no point! If you have known that anger is poisonous, it is finished! #osho/maturity id:: 62dfcc2e-3226-4fc2-b655-be4369adb3f0 - Ulcers are the footprints of ambition. An ambitious man is bound to have ulcers in the stomach: ambition bites, it eats on you. An ulcer is nothing but eating yourself. You are so tense that you have started eating your own stomach lining. You are so tense, your stomach is so tense it never relaxes. Whenever the mind is tense the stomach is tense. - In the West this suppression has disappeared but another suppression has come—and this has to be understood because this is my feeling, that the society can never be nonsuppressive. If it drops one suppression, immediately it starts another. Now the suppression is near the age of forty-nine in the West: people are forced to remain in sex because the whole teaching says, “What are you doing? A man can be sexually potent up to the age of ninety!” Great authorities are saying it. And if you are not potent and you are not interested, you start feeling guilty. At the age of forty-nine a man starts feeling guilty that he is not making love as much as he should. - How can you give something that you don’t have? To give it, the first basic requirement is to have it. id:: 62e2394e-192b-41c0-a6c8-2e2f2ae317ca
