There is only one way and that is the way within.
‘Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.’ Rachel Naomi Remen.
‘Everybody who has burned with intense inquiry has found the sunrise.’ (p.53, Osho Zen Tarot)
‘The conflict is in man. Unless it is resolved there, it cannot be resolved anywhere else.’ (p.31, Osho Zen Tarot)
‘Listening is one of the basic secrets of entering into the temple of God. Listening means passivity. Listening means forgetting yourself completely – only then can you listen. […] When you listen you become just a passage, a passivity, a receptivity, a womb: you become feminine. […] God can reach you only when you are receptive, a feminine receptivity. When you become yin, a receptivity, the door is open.’ (p.59, Osho Zen Tarot)
‘Man is split. Schizophrenia is a normal condition of man – at least now. It may not have been so in the primitive world, but centuries of conditioning, civilization, culture and religion have made man a crowd – divided, split, contradictory… But because this split is against nature, deep down somewhere hidden the unity still survives. Because the soul of man is one, all conditionings at the most destroy the periphery of the man. But the center remains untouched – that’s how man continues to live. But his life has become a hell.‘ (p.121, Osho Zen Tarot)
‘People don’t look into each other’s eyes, they don’t hold hands, they don’t try to feel each other’s energy, they don’t allow each other to pour.’ (p.65, Osho Zen Tarot)
