OSHO: For Thirty-two Years I Have Been Absolutely Nothing

silence shared in words
presents
Thirty-two years I was nothing
I have no biography. And what is supposed to be biography is completely meaningless.
On what date I was born, in what country I was born, does not matter.
What does matter is what I am here and now.
I think sometimes
the quest
to influence the human mind
best would be the central issue of the next decade
from all sides.
How do you see that?
Whether you agree or not, how do you see
that kind of competition for beliefs?
My approach is totally different.
I want to destroy all belief systems
Catholic or communist, it does not matter.
And what about the belief system that does not believe in belief systems?
It is not a belief system.
It can not be a belief system.
The deprograms people simple, but gives them a new program.
It lets them
clean,
blank slate,
nothing written on them, just as they were born innocent.
My function here is to deprogram the Jew,
Hindu,
Muslim,
whoever comes here.
I must destroy his belief system.
I do not try to influence him in favor of a different belief system.
I do not have any.
It is said that nature hates vacuums that something will fill the human mind.
No. That is not true,
because I have long been nothing at thirty-two years.
So as far as science can be objectively true,
that nature hates emptiness,
but as for
the spiritual inner world,
it is just the opposite.
The deeper you go, the more you find yourself empty.
Eventually, you will find yourself just a zero,
and that is the point of enlightenment.
Your ego has disappeared;
greed is far gone.
You’re gone, there’s only light, life,
infinite,
forever,
but you’re not as a person,
but just as pure consciousness,
and it is nothing. Buddha is in fact the name given nothing
nirvana; it means nothing.
In the western world, has no religion that point reached
all Western religions, the three:
Christian,
Jewish tradition and Islam
arising out of India.
The other three religions were born in India:
Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism
all three
have reached that point where you enter the inner zero.
And that their ultimate goal:
be nothing
and it is never filled with anything.
You will probably not be surprised that I do not understand it.
You do not understand, and I’m not surprised,
because how can you understand something
you’ve never experienced.
For example, if you’ve never tasted sugar,
whatever I do,
I can in no way explain the taste.
I’ll have to ask my sannyasins to hold you
and forcing a scoop of sugar in your mouth
that’s the only way.
Seems a bit harsh, but what else?
Unless you taste
you will not understand it.
So if you really want to understand what I say about the inner nothing
come here, stay here for a few days.
Meditate with my people who have experienced it.
