The Miracle of the Moment
(6)
Which brings me to a relatively safe place: quotations. I love to quote astonishing people. Lessee... herewith more from Osho's Theologica Mystica:
----------
Murphy says, 'Never bow to authority but always tip your hat.'
'Love the moment with intensity, passion, totality, and forget about spiritual growth.'
'A lie, says Murphy, is a very poor substitute for the truth but the only one discovered so far.'
'The priest is an enemy of the mystic.'
'Just to be is more than one can believe. To be able to breathe, to be able to see the rising sun, to be able to hear the chirping of the birds, to be able to feel love, prayer, gratitude, silence... to be able to pee in one's pants without guilt at this very moment - this is a miracle.'
'Hell is the most false thing in the world - it exists not. Heaven is the only reality. We are in it right now, this very moment. We cannot be anywhere else. If you are in hell that is your creation, your fantasy, you are seeing a dream.'
----------
And I could go on and on but you get the idea. By the way, in case you didn't catch it, I modified quote #5. You will have to read the book if you want to get to the truth of the matter.
