Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 The world can come to a harmony if meditation is spread far and wide, and people are brought to one consciousness within themselves. This will be a totally different dimension to work with. ... AND IT IS NOT SO DIFFICULT as people think. They may waste six years in getting a master's degree in a university; and they will not think that this is wasting too much time for just a degree which means nothing. It is only a question of understanding the value of meditation. Then it is easily possible for millions of people to become undivided within themselves. They will be the first group of humanity to become harmonious. And their harmoniousness, their beauty, their compassion, their love -- all their qualities -- are bound to resound around the world. My effort is to make meditation almost a science -- so it is not something to do with religion, so anybody can practice it, whether he is a Hindu or a Christian or a Jew or a Mohammedan, it doesn't matter. What his religion is, is irrelevant; he can still meditate. He may not even believe in any religion, he may be an atheist; still he can meditate. MEDITATION HAS TO become almost like a wildfire. Then there is some hope. ... You can change only the individual, howsoever small he appears. And once you know the science of how to change the individual, it is applicable to all the individuals everywhere. And my feeling is that one day we are going to attain a society which will be harmonious, which will be far better than all the ideas that utopians have been producing for thousands of years. The reality will be far more beautiful. Osho, Light on the Path: Talks in the Himalayas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there ever be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hello coolthurber: Right, but does that saying make it clear whether the lion and the lamb, in being side by side, wouldn't be either devouring the other or being devoured, or that one wouldn't be being hunted by humans, and the other being eaten by humans? Joking aside -- and that was meant as a joke: I think a nice symbol of the lion and lamb together is the yin-yang symbol. (BTW pardon me if I am off-topic with the subject matter; I didn't read the Osho post, just the replies.)

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I was told once, it is impossible to put the lion and lamb or the lion and the rooster together. But if they can achieve this impossible feat, they have form a unique bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
