- Reader of the sutras and questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
After discourse Osho leads Let-Go Meditation.
- The sutra
- Ummon spoke to his assembly and said, "Everybody has his own light. If he tries to see it, everything is darkness. What is everybody's light?"
- Later, in place of the disciples, he said, "The hall and the gate."
- And again he said, "Blessing things cannot be better than nothing."
- Setcho says:
- It illuminates itself, absolutely bright.
- He gives a clue to the secret.
- Flowers have fallen, trees give no shade;
- Who does not see, if he looks?
- Seeing is non-seeing,
- Non-seeing is seeing.
- Facing backward on the ox,
- He rides into the Buddha hall.
- Question 1
- Osho, does everyone have their own separate light?
- I can see that in the physical world it is light that shows us the distinction between two people, and that in darkness, definitions and distinctions are seemingly obliterated.
- But it seems to me it must be just the opposite in the metaphysical world -- that in darkness or ignorance we have the illusion of separateness, while enlightenment brings the awareness that one is not separate from everyone and everything around one.
- What is your comment?
- Question 2
- Feeling myself full of light sometimes, trembling with energy at other times, the mind is happy to grasp hold of these experiences as "something" -- after all, it is said, "something is better than nothing."
- Yet when those moments of nothing are there -- when there is no cognition of who I am or who you are, when there are no exotic happenings -- that is what the mind can make no sense of: I only know that that space is, and that nothing is better than something.
- Question 3
- I seem to imagine that if I am not thinking something, doing something, involved in some project or other, I am as good as dead; to participate in life seems to me to be life itself.
- But as long as I am doing, I recreate myself continuously, don't I? -- when the whole point is to die to oneself.
- What is your comment?
