Desire to get God


I was listening to an old commentry by OSHO. Somebody asked him about one desire which help him reach God.

OSHO explained that one has to run for something which is away from oneself.
  • To achieve money, one has to take lots of pain, be ambitious .. one has to run
  • To achieve fame, one has to do something great .. one has to run

Without desire, money and fame is not possible.

And when people get bored with money and fame, they desire for God - achieve salvation - follow the path of self realization. Many of us are blindly following things just to fulfill the desire to get an appointment from God.

OSHO said that human mind understand the language of desire.

Then OSHO asked a simple question - "Where is God?". He is within us. Do we need to run for God? You can run if he is a Km away from you. But he is within us.

You have to search for something which is lost. But if there is something with you, it dosent make sense to search for it. Thats God.

One drunkard after having all the pegs, reached his home and asked the neighbours for his house. People assured him about his home and even his mother told that she is his mother. But the drunkard didnt agree with anybody.

The whole to understand here is that we are standing in front of God, ourselves ... but we keep wavering here and there to seach for the Absolute, the Supreme, the God.

So if i person dosent recognize the presence God in oneself, he is GRAHAST and opposite for know about God is called SANYASI.

Grahast will say "I want God"

Sanyasi will say "I can feel God"

When you see outside mind will keep wavering. But when you look inside yourself - there is no turbulence.
