2、ma prem. It means love for god, and create that love more. It is there, it is just like a small drop; it can become an ocean, it can become bigger than you. And when it is bigger than you and when you are drowned in it, you have arrived.It is there just like a small drop trickling but it can grow: a
3、ll great rivers arise out of a small drop trickling. The ocean is nothing but drops and drops and drops. Right now it is a small drop like a small seed but it can become a big tree. One just has to be a little more careful about it, more conscious of it, more protective of it. It can be destroyed by
4、 carelessness; many peoples love for god is destroyed by carelessness.A sannyasin tells Osho he is scared of him.Mm! Thats very good! Thats a good indication. When you become scared of me that means you are coming close to me! Then only does one start feeling as if one will be burned. A master is a
5、fire. You come close - first it is warm, then it becomes fiery, but you cannot go back because that fire has a great magnetic attraction too.In fact where can you find a place to die which will be better? So be consumed! Let this fire consume you. and out of that is the resurrection. Out of that you
6、 become totally new. Out of that you become impregnable, invulnerable.This is the paradox: you have to be absolutely vulnerable to become invulnerable. You have to die to attain deathlessness. You have to go through fire to become real gold.You need not be afraid: only that which is not true will bu
7、m - that which is true will remain. Truth cannot be burned, only the false, but we are too attached to the false, hence the fear. The ego will be in danger. You will not be in danger but because you think you are the ego, the fear arises. Just a little detachment from the ego is needed.I am going to
8、 destroy the ego. and it is good that it is destroyed - the sooner the better - because only when it is destroyed will you be able to see who you are.The ego is very very ordinary and the being is tremendously extraordinary. The ego is just a shadow, it is not really you: it is a reflection in the m
9、irror. I am going to destroy the mirror and the reflection will be destroyed but you are not going to he destroyed at all.But it is natural, mm? - when somebody hits the mirror and the mirror is falling into pieces, you will see that you are falling into pieces because your image will be falling int
10、o pieces. But only later on when the mirror has fallen down on the ground into pieces - your image has disappeared - suddenly you find that you are still there; you are not your image!But that happens, in primitive societies it happens. People are afraid, if their photograph is taken they are afraid
11、, they are afraid that if somebody burns the photograph, then? Or if somebody insults the photograph, then? Still in primitive communities in india, if you go to an aboriginal society, they dont want to be photographed because they feel that you are imprisoning them. Then the photograph will be with
12、 you and whatsoever you want to do with the photograph you can do. And sometimes death had happen ed with the idea of it.In the primitive society this goes on: somebody makes an image of someone, does some mantra and things, and kills the image with a sword. the man comes to know and he falls dead,
13、with the belief that he has been killed!Still in civilised countries effigies are being burned. That is just a primitive idea, as if by burning the effigy you are going to destroy the man.I will destroy your effigy but not you. mm? Good.Far Beyond the StarsChapter #2Chapter title: One needs the cour

Prem means love and veeresh means courage, and you have to imbibe the spirit of love and courage. Love is the basic quality of the religious ma
15、n, and out of love, courage grows.When I was a small child at school there was a wrestling competition for the whole district; I have never been able to forget that incident.There was a wrestler, the most famous wrestler in those parts, who was defeated. He was going to be the champion, the district
16、 champion or something, and he was defeated by a totally unknown man! The whole crowd laughed in ridicule, people enjoyed it like anything! And I was surprised, everybody was surprised; in a second everybody fell silent, because he also clapped and laughed. the man who had been defeated! He laughed so uproariously that the whole crowd fell silent in
