OUR BELOVED MASTER, - OSHO

OUR BELOVED MASTER,

I THOUGHT ENLIGHTENMENT WAS THE END OF ALL PROBLEMS. AFTER
LAST NIGHT I REALIZED IT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ONE:
HOW TO AVOID BECOMING A LUKEWARM BODHISATTVA?

Anando, enlightenment is the end of all problems. But if you cling to enlightenment, then
you create a problem. Experience it and drop it. Don't carry it. You have experienced it,
you have become it; now there is no need even to think about it.

Do you think in my silent nights and days I have ever thought that I'm enlightened? I
don't remember, even for a single moment. It is just like you are a man -- do you remember in twenty-four hours sometimes that you are a man and not a lion or a parrot or
a rat? Neither do parrots think about it.

Once you are enlightened, what does it mean to be enlightened? It simply means all
problems are dissolved.

But you can make a problem. Man has the capacity to make a problem where there is no
problem at all.

It is just old habit -- you can start thinking, is this true enlightenment or not? Is this
lukewarm enlightenment or a hot potato?

Anando, even if you want to become a lukewarm bodhisattva you cannot -- you are a hot
potato. You may not know it but everybody else knows it -- that this Anando is a hotpotato
buddha.
Satisfied?

Now everybody will taste you. And just feel whether she is really a hot potato! Don't take
my word, experience it.
 OSHO. 🌷🌷🌷🌷
