र शक्ति यात्रा र आत्मविश्वास

1. मेरो दृष्टिकोण पूर्णतावादी होइन; म यसको घोर विरोधमा छु. यसले मानवतालाई नष्ट गरेको छ. यसले सम्पूर्ण मानवतालाई एक प्रकारको पागलपनमा धकेलिएको छ. पूरै विचार त्याग्नु पर्छ. We have to learn a new language — the language of wholeness. र म एक व्यक्तिलाई पवित्र भन्छु जब उसले जे गर्छ त्यसमा पूर्ण हुन्छ. सरसफाई गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ भने, त्यसपछि यो पूर्ण रूपमा गर्नुहोस्. त्यसपछि पूर्णतया यसमा हराउनुहोस्, र यसले तपाईंलाई त्यति नै दिन्छ जति एक संगीतकारले पाउँछ जब ऊ आफ्नो संगीतमा पूर्णतया हराउँछ वा एक नर्तकले प्राप्त गर्दछ जब ऊ आफ्नो नृत्यमा पूर्ण रूपमा हराउँछ।. Even cleaning the floor or cooking the food or taking the bath or going for a morning walk — anything. यो तपाईंको जीवनको आधार बनोस्: कि तपाई अहिले जे गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, त्यसमा पूर्ण रूपमा हराउनु. तपाईहरु मध्ये केहि पनि पछाडि छोड्नु हुँदैन. कुनै पनि आरक्षण नराख्नुहोस्. र तपाईं यसबाट धेरै लाभ प्राप्त गर्नुहुनेछ, समृद्ध. एउटै फरकमा म कोही जत्तिकै कमजोर छु: म पूर्णतया अयोग्य छु!
2. To be total in your work is a totally different thing. To be total in your work is not addiction, it is a kind of meditation. When you are totally in your work, your work has a possibility of perfection, you will have a joy arising out of a perfect work. If you can be perfect and total in work, you can be total in no-work — just sitting silently, totally silent. You know how to be total. You can close your eyes and you can be totally in. You know the secret of being total. So to be total in work is helpful in meditation.
3. Be human, don’t aspire to perfection in any way because all perfectionism is neurosis. Be human and accept all the frailties and limitations of human beings.
4. All perfectionism is an egoistic effort, you go mad after everything. Try to do it as well as you can, but don’t be crazy about it; do as well as you can and accept the limitation. The limitation is going to be there, even about your character, तिमीले आफ्नो छाया बोक्दैनौ, everything!
5. Perfectionism is the seed of neurosis. A perfectionist can never be satisfied — because there is no way to satisfy a perfectionist. He will always find something or other — and that ‘something’ will create trouble. Be more realistic, down to earth, and enjoy imperfection too; that is part of life.
6. Perfectionism is a neurosis. यो एक रोग हो. र जति धेरै तपाईं सिद्ध बन्ने प्रयास गर्नुहुन्छ, तपाई जति निराश हुनुहुनेछ. पूर्णताको लक्ष्यले सम्पूर्ण मानवतालाई पागलपनतर्फ डो¥याएको छ; पृथ्वी लगभग पागलखाना बनिसकेको छ. म पूर्णता सिकाउँदैन. मैले के सिकाउने? म पूर्णता सिकाउँछु, पूर्णता होइन. पूर्ण हुनुहोस्; कुल हो; तर पूर्णताको बारेमा सोच्नुहोस्. पूर्ण हुनुहोस्. जे गरे पनि, यो पूर्ण रूपमा गर्नुहोस्. के फरक छ? जब तपाइँ यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा गर्नुहुन्छ तपाइँ परिणामको बारेमा चिन्तित हुनुहुन्न. तपाईंले यो पूर्ण रूपमा गर्नुभयो. तपाईं समाप्त भयो. धेरै गर्न सक्नुभएन. तिमीले केही पनि राखेका छैनौ; तपाईंले आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण ऊर्जा यसमा लगाउनुभएको छ, तपाईं यसमा पूर्ण हुनुहुन्थ्यो. अब असफल भएमा, तिमी असफल. सफल भएमा, तिमी सफल हुन्छौ. तर तपाईं असफल वा तपाईं सफल, तिमी सबै उस्तै पूरा छौ. गहिरो सन्तुष्टि उत्पन्न हुन्छ किनभने तपाईंले जे गर्न सक्नुहुन्थ्यो त्यो गर्नुभयो. You can never be perfect. How can the part be perfect? You can never be perfect. जे गरे पनि, you can always imagine that it could have been better — तिमी जे गर्छौ, you can imagine that better could have been done.
7. तिमी मानव हौ, निश्चित समयमा, निश्चित ठाउँमा, केहि सीमाहरु संग. ती सीमितताहरू स्वीकार गर्नुहोस्. पूर्णतावादीहरू सधैं पागलपनको छेउमा हुन्छन्. They are obsessed people — whatsoever they do is not good enough. And there is no way to do something perfectly — perfection is not humanly possible. वास्तबमा, असिद्ध हुनु एक मात्र तरिका हो. त्यसोभए म तिमीलाई यहाँ के सिकाउँछु? म तिमीलाई पूर्णता सिकाउँदैन, म तिमीलाई पूर्णता सिकाउँछु. त्यो बिल्कुलै फरक कुरा हो. पूर्ण हुनुहोस्. पूर्णताको बारेमा चिन्ता नगर्नुहोस्. जब म भन्छु पूर्ण हो, मेरो मतलब वास्तविक हुनुहोस्, यहाँ हुनुहोस्; तिमी जे गर्छौ, यो पूर्ण रूपमा गर्नुहोस्. तिमी अपूर्ण हुनेछौ तर तिम्रो अपूर्णता सुन्दरताले भरिपूर्ण हुनेछ, यो तिम्रो सम्पूर्णताले भरिएको हुनेछ. कहिले पनि पूर्ण बन्ने प्रयास नगर्नुहोस् अन्यथा तपाईले धेरै चिन्ता सृजना गर्नुहुनेछ. यति धेरै समस्याहरू पहिले नै छन्; आफ्नो लागि थप समस्याहरू सिर्जना नगर्नुहोस्.
8. Just enjoy your life. It is perfect as it is. The whole idea of perfectionism creates only neurosis, pathology and a derangement of the mind. I teach you the ordinary. I teach you the simple, I teach you the natural, I teach you that you are where you have been trying to reach, exactly at home. Don’t waste your time running here and there. But you have been told always to become something, someone — that’s why every religion is against me, all the moralists are against me. I can understand, because if I am right then all the traditions and all the teachings that have been driving humanity towards some faraway goal are proven absolutely criminal. Because they have taken away people’s chance to live, chance to love, chance to sing, chance to dance. And in the ultimate sense, the very opportunity to feel the divine in the herenow. Unless you can feel the divine in the mundane, you are not an intelligent person. If you cannot manage in your small things an expression of gratitude, खुशी, जागरूकता, then you are bound to remain miserable — not only in this life but perhaps for many lives.
9. The perfectionist goes on sacrificing every moment for the future and that he will be doing in the future too, because future never comes — that which comes is always present — and he becomes addicted in sacrificing it. Meditation has nothing to do with perfectionism, but perfection comes as a by-product. As you become silent it follows you, wherever you go it is there — and it is not something dead, hanging around you. It is growing. That is the most miraculous thing about it, because we always think of perfection as the dead end. What more there can be? Logically it seems right that perfection means the full-stop. It is not so. Existentially perfection is also a growing phenomenon, from perfection to more perfection to more perfection — there is no end to it. Become a meditator and see the miracle happening. Many miracles happen through meditation. It is the magic key. One of the greatest miracles is that it brings perfection for which you were not even thinking, for which you had no desire. you were not asking, you were not searching; it simply comes as a reward from the whole.
10. All kinds of perfectionism create neurosis. Be a perfectionist and you will end up in a mad asylum. Drop all that nonsense, don’t ask for impossible. Be human. Nothing is perfect in the world, not even God. Because if something is perfect it is dead. And God is not dead yet — notwithstanding what Nietzsche says, God is not dead yet. And God will never be dead, because God will never be perfect. He is always growing; out of imperfection there is growth. When you are perfect then what is left except suicide? What will you do when you are perfect? All growth is possible because something always remains to be done. One goes on learning, one goes on growing. Yes, let me say to you: Even after enlightenment one goes on growing. From perfection to perfection one goes on growing. One is never absolutely perfect, because absolute perfection means death. Life is imperfect. That’s why life IS. Only death is perfect.
11. Perfection, the idea of perfection, is an ugly idea. A perfectionist is a neurotic. Perfectionism is a psychological disease. So the first thing to be remembered is that I am not for any kind of perfection. I want you to be whole, but not perfect; 1 want you to be total, but not perfect. Avoid perfection because per-fection means death; perfection means that now there is no more growth. Perfection means an existential cul-de-sac — you have come to the end of your tether. Now there is nowhere to go, you are stuck and stuck forever — you are perfect.
12. पूर्णतावादी एक न्यूरोटिक हुन बाध्य छ, उसले पूर्ण नभएसम्म जीवनको आनन्द लिन सक्दैन. र यस्तो पूर्णता कहिल्यै हुँदैन, यो चीजहरूको प्रकृतिमा छैन. समग्रता सम्भव छ, पूर्णता सम्भव छैन. यो समग्र दृष्टिकोणको आधारभूत कुरा हो. र पूर्णता र पूर्णता बीच ठूलो भिन्नता छ. पूर्णता भनेको भविष्यमा कतै लक्ष्य हो, समग्रता यहाँ एक अनुभव हो. समग्रता लक्ष्य होइन, यो जीवन शैली हो. यदि तपाईं आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण हृदयले कुनै पनि कार्यमा लाग्न सक्नुहुन्छ, तपाईं पूर्ण हुनुहुन्छ. पूर्णताले पूर्णता ल्याउँछ र समग्रताले स्वास्थ्य ल्याउँछ र समग्रताले विवेक ल्याउँछ.
13. A perfectionist is neurotic. And not only is he neurotic, he creates neurotic trends around him. So don’t be a perfectionist, and if somebody is a perfectionist around you escape away from him as fast as you can before he pollutes your mind. All perfectionism is a sort of deep ego trip. Just to think of yourself in terms of ideals and perfection is nothing but to decorate your ego to its uttermost. A humble person accepts that life is not perfect. A humble person, a really religious person, accepts that we are limited, that there are limitations.
14. Perfectionism is the root cause of all neurosis. A perfectionist is a neurotic person; sooner or later, he will create more and more neurosis around him. म पूर्णतावादी होइन. मलाई पूर्णतावादी भएकोमा अलिकति पनि चिन्ता छैन. म एक समग्र व्यक्ति हुँ. मलाई तिनीहरूको पूर्णतामा चीजहरू मनपर्छ, तर म तिनीहरूको पूर्णताको बारेमा कहिल्यै चिन्ता गर्दिन. संसारमा कुनै पनि कुरा पूर्ण हुन सक्दैन — र वास्तवमा संसारमा केहि पनि पूर्ण हुनु हुँदैन, किनभने जब कुनै चीज सिद्ध हुन्छ त्यो मरेको हुन्छ.
15. Perfect people are nowhere to be found. Perfect people don’t exist. Imperfection is part of life, a very essential part of life. The moment somebody becomes perfect, he starts disappearing from life. That’s why we say Buddhas are never born again — they became perfect, they need not come back. They have learnt all that was to be learnt here on the earth; they need not become embodied again.
16. म पूर्णता सिकाउँदैन. पूर्णताले मात्र मानिसहरूमा न्यूरोसिस सिर्जना गर्दछ. पूर्णतावादीहरू न्यूरोटिक्स हुन्; तिनीहरू सिद्ध हुन खोज्दै आफूलाई पागल बनाउँछन्, किनभने तिनीहरू असम्भव गर्न खोजिरहेका छन्. म समग्रता सिकाउँछु; म पूर्णता सिकाउँछु, पूर्णता होइन. तपाई जे गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ त्यसमा पूर्ण हुनुहोस्. कुल हो. त्यो क्रोध करुणामा परिणत हुन्छ, त्यसपछि पूर्ण रूपमा क्रोधित हुनुहोस्. यदि तपाईं प्रेममा हुनुहुन्छ भने, त्यसपछि पूर्ण रूपमा प्रेममा रहनुहोस्. यदि तपाई दुखी हुनुहुन्छ भने, त्यसपछि पूर्ण रूपमा दुखी हुनुहोस्. कुनै पनि कुरामा आधा मन नमान्नुहोस्. यो जीवनको लागि एकदम फरक दृष्टिकोण हो.
17. All perfectionism drives people to neurosis. Whenever you see a neurotic, search deep in him and you will find hidden a perfectionist. And wherever you find a perfectionist, be alert. He is on the way to becoming a neurotic.
18. Perfection is bound to bring hurry because life is short, and perfectionism means you have to do thousands of things quickly, otherwise who knows? You may be incomplete before death comes. And particularly in the Western societies where religions have insisted on only one life, there is more hurry. In the East people are not in such a hurry for the simple reason that they believe that there are many lives, so what is the hurry for? ओशो भगवान श्री रजनीश उद्धरण, one can wait. That’s why the East is lazy: it has a psychological reasoning for its laziness. And the West is speedy: “Be quick, because there is only one life, and if you are not complete in this life then there is no other opportunity. No chances are given, no choices are given — only THIS life.” Naturally hurry arises and effort. You have to make tremendous efforts to be perfect. And in this whole rush for perfectionism you are not a gainer, you become a loser. There is no time to think, there is no time to be silent, there is no time to feel, there is no time to love. All is devoted to one goal: how to be a perfect man, a superman. It is not an accident that Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Germany. He talked about the superman, and Adolf Hitler believed that he was the superman about whom Friedrich Nietzsche was talking. Adolf Hitler is not even human — he is sub-human, below humanity, but he thinks that he is super-human. And he was trying to create a race of super-human beings. He brought the whole German ideology of perfectionism to its logical end. And you ARE conditioned, whether you know it or not, by that fascist, Nazi idea. With me you have to relax. With me you have to drop your being a German or being an Indian or being an Italian. Whatsoever you are you have to drop it. You have to be just silent, आनन्दित. You have to be just human — there is no need to be super-human.
19. Relaxation means you don’t have any shoulds. You are simply living moment to moment, not according to some future idea of yourself, but according to your reality that is herenow. To live with the reality, moment to moment, is to be sane. To live with the idea is to be insane. The whole earth has become almost a madhouse because of these perfectionists. Perfectionism is a sort of madness; only mad people try to be perfectionists. Sane people never try to be perfectionists. Sane people are humble people. They know their limitations, they don’t try the impossible, so they enjoy the possible. If you try the impossible you cannot enjoy the possible, and in trying the impossible you miss the possible too. And from the other end, sane people enjoy the possible and they don’t hanker for the impossible, and enjoying the possible, one day suddenly they stumble upon the impossible too. Their joy becomes so much by and by, moment to moment, they go on being blissful. In ordinary things they are blissful. They don’t ask for great things, they don’t ask for paradise, to be blissful, they don’t ask for God, they don’t ask for nirvana. Small things. Playing with your own child, loving your wife, eating your food, taking a shower, or going for a morning walk, is more than enough. Just running on the beach is more than enough. What more do you want to be happy? The touch of the cool sand, and the warm rays of the sun showering on you, and the wild roar of the sea playing around you… what more do you need to be happy? Playing with a child, the laughter of the child… what more do you need to be happy?
20. The most basic flaw in the concept of the old man was perfectionism: he wanted to be perfect, and the very idea of perfectionism drives people crazy. पूर्णतावादी एक न्यूरोटिक हुन बाध्य छ, उसले पूर्ण नभएसम्म जीवनको आनन्द लिन सक्दैन. र यस्तो पूर्णता कहिल्यै हुँदैन, यो चीजहरूको प्रकृतिमा छैन. समग्रता सम्भव छ, पूर्णता सम्भव छैन. यो समग्र दृष्टिकोणको आधारभूत कुरा हो. र पूर्णता र पूर्णता बीच ठूलो भिन्नता छ. पूर्णता भनेको भविष्यमा कतै लक्ष्य हो, समग्रता यहाँ एक अनुभव हो. समग्रता लक्ष्य होइन, यो जीवन शैली हो. यदि तपाईं आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण हृदयले कुनै पनि कार्यमा लाग्न सक्नुहुन्छ, तपाईं पूर्ण हुनुहुन्छ. पूर्णताले पूर्णता ल्याउँछ र समग्रताले स्वास्थ्य ल्याउँछ र समग्रताले विवेक ल्याउँछ. The perfectionist completely forgets about totality. He has some idea how he should be, and obviously time will be needed to reach that idea. It can’t happen now — tomorrow, day after tomorrow, this life, maybe next life… so life has to be postponed. That’s what the old man has been doing hitherto, postponing, postponing. The man in the past has not really lived; his life was nothing but a sequence of postponements. I teach you to live herenow with no idea of the future at all. The future will be born out of your lived present. If the present has been lived totally, the future will have even more totality to it. Out of totality more totality is born.
21. Remember around the clock that essentially you are a buddha. Behave as a witness, with great grace. And by and by, even your ordinary activities of day-to-day life will become divine. Unless we can transform the mundane into the sacred, your meditation is not complete, is not perfect. To be here now, to be totally here now, and you are the buddha, the ultimate perfection humanity has ever achieved. You have the same potential, the same height and the same depth. It is only a question of taking the challenge and exploring your own inner sky, र तपाईं छक्क पर्नुहुनेछ. Outside you have been a beggar — even the richest man is a beggar because he still wants more. When you get settled at the center, for the first time you are an emperor, because everything is fulfilled. There is no desire for more, there is no desire at all, but a pure isness, a transparent isness. Here you will find the truth. Here you will find the beauty. Here you will find the meaning of godliness — and you don’t have to defend them. They are eternal, they have always been here now, only you have not looked in.
22. Meditation is the only way to become fulfilled, to know the innermost core of your being which is already perfect, which needs no perfection, which is already overflowing with joy and peace and love. Meditation simply makes you aware of that which is already inside you. It is a way of awakening to one’s own self. And the moment you know it you have found the home; then you are no more homeless. Then you are rooted in existence; then you know that you are not just a driftwood, then you know that you are not accidental. Then you know that you are part of a divine existence, of an organic unity of the whole.
