Notes Of A Madman
(osho)
Hecouldn?t be the thing he thought he would be.He considered it a failure, something to be looked down upon, His mind was vacant.It couldn?t be an ideal thing to happen to him, but he couldn?t think otherwise.He knew it was all junk. But there was no way out other than to write it down. Nothing impeached her, It was a basic criteria of all the experiences she was going to have, It couldn?t be otherwise. We call it gibberish but than it is meaningless but useful. Now look at the thin line dividing the meaning and use, something maynot be meaningful to be useful and vise versa. Claustrophobic effects were predicted. Nothing could be done. It was a classic example of man?s helplessness against nature. A situation where mind is restless and helpless simultaneously. Only the best could survive or rather the worst. No one will be able to make anything out of it, only the selected few. And again there was a vacant gap, an emptiness, something the mind detests. How to harness this discomforting feeling? The way was not out, it was in, rather inwards. And when we start moving inwards, all words disappear, or we can say thought is at a loss, it can?t move. The inward journey is too narrow for the thought to move. It has to be still, and movement is the life of thought. As we progress into that narrow path, thought starts sensing its death, it moves with full energy, and what an energy thought has got, it is one of the hardest things to resist the temptation of being carried away by the storm of thought. A thought has many undercurrents. Just like the waves of an ocean. Suddenly we become aware of that wild vastness lying within us. It is certainly frightening. How many people have been able to harness this wild turbulence? Only a few buddhas. It is one of the toughest tasks in the world. Wait a minute, what am I doing? Why am I discoursing here? Now for a moment, let?s forget that emptiness and go to the green pastures of materialism. Why is it the way it is? The state of affairs, why is it so? No answer. The question comes from the mind and the answer lies in the existence. And existence lies within oneself.Mind cannot reach that existence because mind itself is the hindrance between oneself and existence. The existence means the death of mind, the death of thought. Now there is a situation similar to that of a theory in quantum physics. You die at one level and are reborn at the other level, you die at the level of the mind and are reborn at the level of the existence. It is a quantum leap! You disappear at one level and reappear at the other level. Just like an electron which disappears at one point and then reappears at the other point, but the electron is simply absent in between these two points, there is no path that the electron has followed and neither has it taken any time. You have to move to go to some other point and that movement will require a path and time. But an electron can go to a point without any requirement of a path or time, it means an electron can be at two or more than two points at the same time. Just like a wave. But electron was a particle so far. That results in the theory of dual behavior of electron. Here scientists see the dissolving of the boundaries between a particle and wave, between mass and energy, which proves einstein?s theory that mass is energy. Now when mass turns into energy, it makes a quantum leap, the same leap one has to make when he moves from mind to existence.Quantum leap is the greatest mystery in existence so far. It has bewildered the scientific community. Mysticism entered into science with quantum physics. Scientists started talking like mystics for the first time in history. When a mystic says that the world is illusory, is it different from a scientist saying that the matter is energy? It is the point where science and religion meet.Having seen the scenario so far, it is obvious that life is a mystery.
