Dear friends,
Whatever is the growth of mankind, some things you cannot change?
For example, science can be taught, whatever is the creation
of mind, created on the ground of logic can be taught. Language can be taught.
Maths has to be taught only. Engineering, medical can be taught. Even in these,
the subjects are taught but the application of the subject cannot be taught,
but it has to be learned by the interested person.
In case of ART, only techniques can be given. Tips can be
given. Basic approach can be given, but not the art itself.
In case of science,
75 percent can be taught and only 25 percent, the person has to learn. How to
apply the science to a person or circumstance or work is a learning and it needs
intelligence. If a person is completely lost the touch of himself, he cannot be
intelligent, that’s why most of the first rank academics fail in life. In case
of ART 25 percent only can be taught and the remaining 75 percent has to be
learned by the person interested. The interested person has to come close to
himself, explore his inner territory, his feelings, his body and for that he
has to watch the ARTIST again and again, live with the ARTIST, feel the ARTIST
and see how the ARTIST fall in tune with himself and so he gets dissolved and
the ART is emerging.
This way of learning is a great opportunity and nowadays
only few are blessed with this. That’s why the arts are becoming rare.
Particularly it becomes a rarity in poor countries like India, because the
whole society is behind money, forgetting the real values of life. Of course
when you are hungry, you cannot offer to learn ART. Because learning itself is
possible only when you are relaxed, full of energy like a child. When you are
struggling and fighting and in tension, you can only pickup the minimum
requirements to win, you won’t look for beautifying things, enhancing things,
enchanting things. ART is 75 percent to be learned, so naturally you go for
something which can be taught mostly and you can use it for your immediate
requirement of survival and reaching social values.
Now, the spirituality or the INNER SCIENCE and OSHO wants to
use this word. In learning the Inner science or in that process comes a
capacity of everlasting ability of not losing the self nature or self
realisation, which is called enlightenment. So everybody have the potential for
it and they don’t recognise it or they forget it or don’t realise it because
they don’t enjoy in it. It is more like, you have a swimming pool in your home,
but you never use it, you don’t realise it, you have no time to enjoy it and so
you don’t have the real taste of enjoying the pool and so you go to the bar for
relaxation. Meditation is your INNER POOL and you are alone there. Nobody else
can enter there. All your relationships, friendships, work, business, family,
society and all its values are outside the body, based on the body’s projecting
sensual experiences but the INNER is independent, alone and you are and only
YOU is there.
This is mystery of existence. You have an outer and an inner
and you can enjoy both. Moreover the outer and inner are looking two but they
are like two sides of the coin or two edges of the stick or the centre and
circumference of a circle. They are not opposites but complementary. But only
the way of outer struggle and finding comfort in outer can be taught. Bringing
the inner being into the outer is ART. Absorbing the outer to the INNER BEING
is spirituality, inner science.
This is more like you live as a tree. Rooted in your inner
being and extending the outer branches. The whole life is absorbed in the roots
and its dance is the outer tree. This cannot be taught. This is 100 percent
learning only. In art at least 25 percent can be taught. Here anything taught
will have only negative effect. It’s totally learning. No rules here, no steps
here, no syllabus here, no certificates, no grades, no training, no time limit,
nothing can be fixed here. It can be immediate, it can never be, nothing is
certain from the point of mind ways.
But still in existence, there is one gift for us. That is
the living of a Master. A Spiritual Master means a person, who becomes a Master
to himself, self realised, found the roots, remembered his self nature. He
lives it, he is it, he has it, and he is a live wire of life current. So he can
be a catalytic agent, he can trigger your inner being. Any natural tuning is
triggering the INNER BEING of any sensitive human, like the ocean, mountains, falls,
river, forest etc., Even a wild flower or a stray dog can trigger. So is the
Master.
So living near the Master, seeing Him, watching Him,
drinking Him, getting tuned slowly, you fall in your self-nature which is, at
the deepest point, is the same source for all. Without a Master, it is almost
impossible, it is very arduous, tiresome, mostly you won’t complete, there are pitfalls
like imagination, hallucination, ego comes through the back door etc.,
So for me, we should be very intelligent and understand that
LEARNING is the only way for self nature and the best way to learn is from
another human being that is the Master. The quality of readiness to learn, to
be vulnerable, to be open is the quality called DISCIPLEHOOD. It has nothing to
do with the Master. It is everything to do with an individual.
Master is same with a disciple or without a disciple. He is
not dependent on the disciple. No disciple can dictate the Master. A master who
is changing to attract more disciples is a fake and this is an easy way to
identify the fake master.
So be a disciple, even without a master. Then nature becomes
your master. Nature will bring the suitable master to you. Once the disciple is
ready, the master appears, in any form, in any way, by any touch. The fake
masters exist because of fake disciples. So don’t get disrupted by them. Be a
real disciple, ready to live a life of disciple hood.
love, sidd.
