Osho about Yoga
"Yoga means the art of communion, becoming one with the whole, dissolving yourself into the whole like a dewdrop slipping from the lotus leaf into the lake.
The moment it falls into the lake it becomes the lake. It loses one thing — its small identity, its ego, its boundary — but it gains infinitely; it becomes the whole lake. The dewdrop was
always in danger, the sun will rise and it will evaporate. Dewdrops are always on the verge of death, any moment death can happen. But once the dewdrop becomes part of the lake, death
becomes impossible. Man is just a dewdrop, and that’s why he is miserable, afraid; afraid of death, afraid of a thousand and one things, constantly trembling inside. And it is natural,
understandable. The only way to get rid of all this fear, trembling, is to become one with the whole. That’s what yoga is: the art of dissolving yourself into the whole, losing your
boundaries, losing your ego, your identity. In the beginning it seems to be very difficult because that’s all we know about ourselves. The function of the master is to help you, to
encourage you, to seduce you, to push you to take the jump. And if one loves the master, trusts the master, things become simple, very simple. That’s what sannyas is all about; it is just
a trust."
Osho about Reiki
“Everybody can become a healer. Healing is something like breathing; it is natural. Somebody is ill; it means he has lost his capacity to heal himself. He
is no more aware of his own healing source. The healer is to help him to be rejoined. That source is the same from which the healer draws, but the ill man has forgotten how to understand
the language of it. The healer is in relationship with the whole, so he can become a via media. The healer touches the body of the ill person and becomes a link between him and the
source. The patient is no longer connected directly with the source so he becomes indirectly connected. Once the energy starts flowing, he is healed.” “Healing is one of the most delicate
dimensions. And the delicacy consists in the healer not doing anything in it. The healer is not really a healer because he is not a doer. Healing happens through him. He has just to
annihilate himself. To be a healer really means not to be. The less you are, the better healing will happen. The more you are, the more the passage is blocked, God or the totality or
whatsoever name you prefer, is the healer. The whole is the healer. The word “healing” comes from the same root as from where the word “whole” comes. Whole, health, healing, holy, all
come from the same root. To be healed means to be joined with the whole. So if you really want to become a healer you will have to completely commit suicide. You have to accept your
emptiness. And that is going to become your work: to become more and more empty yourself.”

“If you are really vulnerable, nothing is negative for you – because the negative is your interpretation. Nothing is harmful to you – because the harmful is
your interpretation. If you are really open, then nothing can harm you, nothing can be felt as harmful. You feel something is negative and something is harmful because you resist, because
you are against it, because there is no acceptance of it. This has to be deeply understood. Let me put it in this way: if you are vulnerable, it means you are ready to live in insecurity.
Deep down it means you are ready even to die. You will not resist, you will not oppose, you will not stand in the way. If death comes, there will be no resistance. You will simply allow
it to happen. You accept existence in its totality. Meditate, become open.”

Oshos Lehren begegneten mir das erste Mal im Alter von 16 Jahren. Zwei Jahre später las ich das erste Buch von ihm "Der Weg der weißen Wolken", es wurde für mich wegweisend. Sein Buch "Tantra, die höchste Einsicht "Ein Dialog zwischen Tilopa und Naropa", hat mein Leben für immer verändert. Mit 28 Jahren wurde ich Sanyasin von Osho. Seitdem praktiziere ich seine Meditationen & Vipassana, neben meiner Yoga Praxis. Es lässt sich nicht in Worte fassen. Danke.
