नामजप

आमच्या स्वामींच,महाराजांचं नाव घेतलं की, जप केला की तुमचे सगळे प्रॉब्लेम दूर होतील, असं सांगणारे कालही होते, आजही आहेत,उद्या ही असतील.

 

यावर रजनीश(ओशो) यांच म्हणणं जाणून घ्या. शेवटी तुमचा निर्णय.....

Just the other day I was looking at an advertisement for Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation. It promises everything: a good job, proficiency in your work, health - mental health, physical health longevity; everything that a man can desire it promises. It is a long list: economic, spiritual, social, physical, psychological. All these benefits just for sitting for twenty minutes and repeating something stupid: "Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola," or something like that.

So simple! That's why it is said that you should not tell your mantra to anybody otherwise they will laugh! It has to be kept private. If you say to somebody that I repeat "Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola," they will think you have gone mad. So a mantra has to be kept absolutely private. You will keep it private anyway because it will look so absurd to tell it to anybody.

Just twenty minutes repeating any non-sense word and you get so many benefits? It appeals to the mediocre mind immediately. This Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's meditation is neither meditation nor transcendental; it is simply an effort to exploit the gullible, to ex-ploit the people who are searching and seek- ing for everything, searching for a panacea, searching for a remedy.

When you come to a real master he says there is no remedy, he says there is no panacea. And he does not say that he will make you peaceful and healthy and this and that and then you can go into the world and rush after your ambition in a more efficient way.

No, he will say you are disturbed, you are in a turmoil because of the ambition. Drop the ambition! A real master can only promise you that he will take away your ambition, he will take away your ego. He can only promise that he will kill you. You have come to be protected, you have come to attain to some security, you have come to find some props but a real master is one who takes your props, prop by prop, away from you. One day you simply collapse. And in that very collapse, out of the ashes, arises a new being. That new being has nothing to do with you.

That new being is so new it is discontinuous with you. It has no past, it has no future, it has only a pure presence, herenow.
