WOMAN: THE SOURCE OF LIFE
Osho often said that with the suppression of women, 50 per cent of the world's creativity has not been allowed to blossom. If this hadn't happened, the world would have been more beautiful and richer place.

“The woman should be given her rights to grow in her own uniqueness, and that will enhance the whole society. It will enhance man too because man begins his life in the woman's womb.”
Read on as Osho brings out the essence of the fair gender….

THE SUPERIOR GENDER
IA woman has a great imagination, but her imagination has remained confined to the home. The reason was children -- children kept her in the home, and for millions of years, so it became almost second nature. Otherwise, I don't see that there is any natural necessity for woman to confine her imagination within the walls of her home.

The stars belong to her as much as to any man. The sunrise and sunset -- they are also her possessions. She has to spread her wings, her consciousness. She has to widen her vision, imagination, dreaming, beyond children. Right now, the woman goes on thinking about the child, "He should become a doctor, he should become an engineer, he should become this and that."

LOVE, A LA OSHO
A DISCIPLE ASKS OSHO: BELOVED OSHO, MIRDAD SAYS, LOVE IS THE ONLY FREEDOM from attachment. When you love everything you are attached to nothing.” And later on, “Man made prisoner by the love of a woman and woman made prisoner by the love of a man are equally unfit for freedom’s precious crown. But man and woman made as one by love, inseparable, indistinguishable, are verily entitled to the prize.”

CONNECTIVITY WITH NATURE
“We depend on nature, not only for our physical survival, we also need nature to show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own mind”, says the new age mystic Eckhart Tolle in Stillness Speaks.

Modern man has lost connectivity with nature outside and his own nature within. He has not only disturbed the outer ecology, but has also ruined his inner ecology. We need to restore the balance in the outer as well inner ecology – the inner being more important than the outer. The outer is essentially the expression of the inner.

Anger, hatred and other forms of violence that erupt outside indicate that something has gone wrong inside – there’s chaos in the inner world, conflict between emotions and the intellect. This is the imbalance of inner ecology. How to restore this balance?

THE CREATIVE POTENTIAL OF WOMEN
Osho says, “the need of the day is to divert women's creativity into new dimensions: into poetry into literature, into painting, into music, into architecture, into sculpture, into dancing. She should be allowed now the whole spectrum of creativity. To create a child now is dangerous. To overpopulate the earth now is suicidal; already we are more than are needed.”

THE BODY HAS ITS OWN CONSCIOUSNESS
The body is the most highly evolved, yet the most complex mechanism in existence. Osho says, “it is simply marvelous! -- and blessed are those who marvel. Begin the feeling of wonder with your own body, because that is the closest to you. The closest nature has approached to you, the closest God has come to you, is through the body. In your body is the water of the oceans, in your body is the fire of the stars and the suns, in your body is the air, your body is made of earth. Your body represents the whole existence, all the elements.”

Osho further explains, “Scientists have made very complicated machines, but nothing to be compared with the body. Even the most sophisticated computer is just a toy compared to the inner mechanism of the body. And you have been taught to fight with it. That creates a split, that keeps you troubled, that keeps you in a constant civil war.”

WOMEN: THE EPITOME OF LOVE
Osho has paid warm tribute to enlightened women mystics in many of His discourses. Osho says women has the better potential to become enlightened because she already has the grace and a loving heart. Osho says that it is not just accidental that many more women became enlightened with Buddha than men. Many more women became enlightened with Mahavir than men. Many more women have become enlightened down the ages than men. But their names are not known. Because the capacity of the woman is to receive. Women have been the greatest disciples ever. But they never became masters. They were so surrendered to God that they became Mistresses.

Topic - OBJECT

Meditation - FEEL AN OBJECT AND BECOME IT

Sutra (Technique) - Feel an object before you. Feel the absence of all other objects but this one. Then, leaving aside the object- feeling and the absence-feeling, realize.

KYOZAN: A TRUE MAN OF ZEN
These four discourses were delivered from December 3rd to 6th, 1988, between two long periods when Osho’s body was too sick to come to Gautama the Buddha Auditorium. He had stopped dancing with us on October 14th: “I have to express my apology to you that I could not join in your dance. The whole credit goes to president Ronald Reagan…” and he told us how he had been poisoned in American jails. “I have almost overcome the poison, just… in the bones and particularly in the joints it is still stuck. I have been dancing with you without bothering about it. I would have continued, but today the pain became too much. The pain is not the problem for me. The problem was: if I continue then perhaps I may have to stop speaking. So it is better to let this pain settle.”

LIFE: THE GREAT COSMIC JOKE
“The whole of life is a great cosmic joke. It is not a serious phenomenon -- take it seriously and you will go on missing it. It is understood only through laughter.

Have you not observed that man is the only animal who laughs? Aristotle says man is the rational animal. That may not be true -- because ants are very rational and bees are very rational. In fact, compared to ants, man looks almost irrational. And a computer is very rational -- compared to a computer, man is very irrational.

My definition of man is that man is the laughing animal. No computer laughs, no ant laughs, no bee laughs. If you come across a dog laughing you will be so scared! Or a buffalo suddenly laughs: you may have a heart attack. It is only man who can laugh, it is the highest peak of growth. And it is through laughter that you will reach to God -- because it is only through the highest that is in you that you can reach the ultimate. Laughter has to become the bridge.

Laugh your way to God. I don't say pray your way to God, I say laugh your way.to God. If you can laugh you will be able to love. If you can laugh you will be able to relax. Laughter relaxes like nothing else.”
