Osho Speaking about his father
Enlightenment (Crown Chakra)
Question: Beloved Osho,
When you came to say farewell to Dadaji on the podium in
Buddha hall, suddenly the area where you and dadaji's
body were became like a film. You both seemed to be
without substance. The other half of the podium where
Mataji sat, and the rest of Buddha hall where we were
all sitting, seemed normal. Just the part where you were
seemed different. What happened?
Osho: Death, if it happens with
enlightenment, is a tremendous experience. On the one
hand the man dies; on the other hand he achieves the
totality of life. When I touched my father's seventh
chakra, just on the top of the head, those who were
perceptive, silent, meditative, may have experienced
something strange happening. According to the
centuries-old science of inner reality, a man's life
energy is released from the center, the chakra, at which
he was living. Most people die from the lowest chakra,
the sex center.
There are seven chakras in the body from where life can
go out of the body. The last is on top of the head, and
unless you are enlightened life cannot go out from that
chakra. When I touched my father's seventh chakra, it
was still warm. Life had left it, but it was as if the
physical part of the chakra was still throbbing with the
tremendous happening. It is a rare happening. And in
that moment it may have appeared to many that the small
section on the podium where I was with my father's body
was in a different world.
It was, in a sense, because it was on a different level.
Just by his feet was my mother... and ten thousand
sannyasins in Buddha Hall -- that was the normal world.
But something abnormal had happened. The chakra was
still warm, the body was as if it was still rejoicing in
the phenomenon. If you had eyes to see, then this
distinction was bound to be seen. It is good that it
came to your vision, the difference. It is a difference
of levels. The lowest is where most people are living,
and the effort here is, in this mystery school, to bring
everybody to the highest.
Slowly, slowly,
moving from one center into another, you will also feel
within your body a few things. For example, if you are
existing at the sex center, you will find a subtle
division -- below the lower center and above the lower
center. You can feel it, that in the body below it and
the body above it there seems to be a division, because
the lower body has no centers, no chakras. It is the
same for anybody. Wherever he is, the body below the sex
center remains the same; it is our roots in the earth.
But if your center
changes, comes to a higher level -- for example if your
heart becomes your very life -- you will see again that
below your heart the whole body is separate, and above
the heart the whole body is separate. Wherever your
energy is there will be a separation line. When you
reach to the seventh chakra, then the whole body is
below it and there is no division. The seventh chakra is
only in a sense in the body; otherwise it is above the
body, as if a line touching your head is pulsing.
Your whole body will become one, and for the first time
you will see there are no divisions -- and this you can
watch. With each chakra coming into function, your
actions will change, your responses will change, your
dreams will change, your aspirations will change, your
whole personality will go through a change. As you move
higher, newer dimensions start happening which were not
available to you before.
For example, the
heart center is almost in the middle; three centers are
above it and three centers are below it. The man of the
heart will be the most balanced man. In his actions, in
his feelings, in everything he does he will find a
subtle balance, an equilibrium. He will never be hectic;
there will be a grace. In other words, he has found the
center of his life, exactly the middle path. You will
not see any extremes in him, and because all extremes
have disappeared from his life he will have a balanced
view of everything.
He will not be rightist, he will not be leftist; he will
always be fair and just. If the world was run according
to me, then I would choose as magistrates and judges
only people who are at their heart center, because only
they can be just and fair. It is not a question of
intellectual qualifications or seniority; it is a
question of your inner balance.
The Sufi
story is.... Mulla
Nasruddin is chosen an honorary magistrate. The first
case appears. He hears one side and declares to the
court, "Within five minutes I will be back with the
judgment."
The court clerk
could not believe it -- he has not heard the other side!
The clerk whispered in his ear, "What are you doing?
Don't you see a simple thing? You have heard only one
party, one side. The other side is waiting, and without
hearing them you cannot give any judgment."
Mulla Nasruddin
said, "Don't try to confuse me. Just now I am absolutely
clear. If I hear the other side too, then there is bound
to be confusion."
These Sufi stories
are not just ordinary stories, they are extraordinary.
It is saying that every judge is listening only to one
side because he already has a prejudiced mind; he is not
capable of listening to both sides. For that a totally
different kind of man is needed -- which no
educationalist concerning law and jurisprudence has even
thought about.
No one thinks -- you
ask the judge to be fair, but his mind is prejudiced. He
cannot even hear both stories, both sides, with the same
clarity -- impossible. He only pretends. In all the
courts of the world there are pretensions. And now that I
have been in the courts I can see, and say with absolute
authority that they don't listen to both sides. They
can't! I am not complaining: I am simply stating a fact.
Their education is wrong.
As you go above the
heart center, new things that may not have ever been a
part of your life start happening. The second chakra
above the heart is the throat. If that chakra has your
life energy, then whatever you say has a deep authority
in it. Without any effort to convert anybody, it
converts, because it convinces.
The chakra above
that is the most famous and well-known -- the one on the
forehead between the two eyes. That kind of energy
moving through the agnya chakra, the sixth, has a deep
hypnotic influence. It is managed... the person is not
doing anything; it simply happens, his eyes become so
full of some unknown magnetism.
The man with the
seventh chakra open has the capacity, the intrinsic
flowering, so that his presence becomes infectious.
Below the seventh, the presence is not infectious; with
the seventh chakra opening, it is as if the
consciousness has blossomed and there is a fragrance, an
aura.
Whoever is available
to this presence, to this aura, will feel the freshness
of a breeze, the freshness after a shower. And many
rotten things -- rubbish that you have been entangled
in, fighting -- will simply disappear from your life.
Just a touch from this kind of man will be a
transformation.
But that evening
something was transpiring, and what you noted was an
energy phenomenon; many others must have noted the
same.I answer such questions in order for you to become
aware of your own situation and start moving upwards.
