OSHO: Why I Am Against Belief


Progress
Because I am against belief
Ocho,
Questions seem to be the product of doubt;
Doubt
Spark of vivid and active intelligence.
Without questions
– Thus, without a doubt
– How can intelligence continue to thrive?
Yet you have a peak in silence
And the peak in intelligence.
It’s true at first.
Doubt
Helps your intelligence,
He saves him.
Love the question
Makes you aware
For many possibilities
Which she may not have been aware of before.
But this is just the beginning of the journey.
In the end,
When all your questions
You have disappeared …
The real teacher never gives you the answer.
Let me repeat it
The real teacher never gives you the answer,
So you can not doubt.
It connects you to a point
Where all your questions disappear.
Be answered
Fatal,
Kill your questions,
Destroy it without mercy,
To get you to a point
Where there is no question
In your consciousness.
The teacher does not give you any answer you can doubt.
This unambiguous consciousness is the answer.
And it is your experience; you can not doubt it,
It’s there.
From this point,
Silence
And intelligence
They are just two sides of the same thing.
From this point,
ignorance,
Innocence
And knowledge
Are two sides of the same thing.
This is the mysterious world
Available to you
If you can skip the bush from the questions
And uncertainties
And to arrive
To the serenity,
There are no questions and no doubts, no answers.
Only you are
In total silence,
Clearly,
With tremendous intelligence.
That is why I am against belief,
Because it will not allow you to reach this stage
He will stop you
At the very beginning of the journey.
He will not help
In making your intelligence more;
It will make you more stupid.
Will make you more fanatic,
superstitious,
But I will not
Allows you to reach clarity
Who can
he is called
The very goal
Which nominates between the teacher
The student:
The moment of total silence,
the moment
Where everything is crystal clear.
But that must be acquired.
Belief is cheap.
This will bring you
Something completely different,
What I call trust
in the existence.
In dictionaries, trust, belief and faith
Are all synonyms
– But it is not really.
Belief
Contrary to trust.
You believe because you have doubt;
Belief is
The antidote to suspicion,
It’s a need
To cover the doubt.
Confidence
Is when you have no doubt,
Trust is not a belief.
Belief is always in something
– In a doctrine,
In principle,
In a philosophy.
Confidence
Be in the faculty of the universe.
She has nothing with the books
– Holy books,
Gita, a couple – no.
Then there is only one Bible
Spread around you
– In the trees, in the rivers, in the ocean, in the stars.
You do not have to read it;
You just have to keep silent,
And it begins to glorify you
All his wisdom,
Which is eternal.
I am against belief
Because I want you to reach the stage of confidence.
