Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity
Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person
is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of
purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which
man has lost.
So act in the moment, live in the present, slowly slowly don’t allow the past to
interfere And you will be surprised that life is such an eternal wonder, such a
mysterious phenomenon and such a great gift that one simply feels constantly in
gratitude. So this is my message for you: live in the moment, herenow. That’s why
I call it divine purity; the human purity is just the opposite of it.
And remember: impurity is not the real opposite of divine purity; but human purity
is the real opposite of divine purity. And by human purity I mean people who are
evil but who are trying to be pure by calculation – the so-called saints who are
trying to be pure so that they can have the kingdom of god. But that is a bargain.
How can it be pure? It is businesslike – how can it be pure? They are simply waiting
to be rewarded; they are not pure people. If some day they come to know that there
no reward, they will drop all their purity. They don’t have any joy in it – they
think of it as a sacrifice, as if they are obliging god by being pure They are doing
it, they are the doers of it. It is not simple, it is not innocent. It is planned
and a very long-range plan, even for after death. They are trying to control not
only life but death too… and after death too.
Just live moment to moment and the gift will start arriving, something from the
beyond will start descending in you, and the joy of it is infinite. That and only
that gives meaning to life, nothing else. Life is a garden of love, and the moment
we forget it, we go astray. The moment we forget love, we fall from grace. That’s
the original sin. If one can remain loving, and if loving becomes one’s very quality,
then there is no need for any other religion. Love is enough unto itself, because
prayer grows out of it of its own accord. And one day god arrives – one need not
go in search of him. He himself comes seeking the heart that loves.
