OSHO'S THOUGHTS

Breaking the Mirror is Not Going to Help

Humanity is not yet mature.
We have the faces of human beings, but our minds are lagging far behind..!
The face that you are carrying is not your original face. It is not ‘YOU’
The very urge to come to a master shows a tremendous desire in you
to know your original face, to know yourself.
The master is only a ….mirror….!!
You cannot deceive the mirror , it simply reflects your reality.

There is an ancient parable of a very ugly woman
who was very antagonistic towards mirrors because she thought,
‘just as you all think’…, that it was the mirror that created the ugliness in her
– because when the mirror was not there, she was no longer ugly…?!
She was so madly against mirrors that whenever she would see a mirror,
she would immediately break it..!

The parable is significant.
That’s what we are all doing in our lives in many ways.
Whatsoever reflects our reality we want to escape from
because it is not gratifying…!

Here in my presence, or even when you think of me,
if you feel yourself as immature, a retarded child,
don’t try to explain it away in any way.
This is truth…And this is not only your truth;
this is the truth of the whole of humanity.
You are just fortunate that you have become aware of it…!

..’YOU HAVE COME ACROSS A MIRROR’
