Peace & Silence

"A man of peace is not a pacifist, a man of peace is simply a pool of silence.
He pulsates a new kind of energy into the world, he sings a new song.
He lives in a totally new way; his very way of live is that of grace, that of prayer, that of compassion.
Whomsoever he touches, he creates more love-energy.
The man of peace is creative. He is not against war because to be against anything is to be at war. He is not against war, he simply understands why war exists.
And out of that understanding he becomes peaceful.
Only when there are many people who are pools of peace, silence, understanding, will the war disappear."

Osho: Zen - The Path of Paradox

Life is rEALLY fUNNY

Just look around at life and try to see the humourous side of things. Every event that is happening has its own humourous side. You just need a sense of humour.

Thoughts

An authentically religious man is an individual.
He is alone, and in his aloneness there is great beauty, great splendor.
I teach you that aloneness.
I teach you the beauty, and the grandeur, and the fragrance of aloneness.
In your aloneness you will reach to the heights of Everest.
In your aloneness you will be able to touch the farthest star.
In your aloneness you will blossom to your total potential.

Never become a believer,
never become a follower,
never become a part of any organization,
never become a part of any religion,
never become a part of any nation.
Remain authentically true to yourself.

Don't betray yourself.
