Excerpt from: Tao: The Golden Gate, Vol.1, Chapter 1

     “Truth is always a gift, it is not an achievement because all achievements belong to the ego and truth cannot be part of your ego trip. Truth happens only when the ego is dropped, so you cannot say, 'I have achieved it,' you can only say, 'It was given.' It is a gift. Ko Hsuan is right: he says, 'I received it…' Hence, remember, you have to be at the receiving end. You are not to be aggressive about truth. The real seeker is not an achiever, he is not aggressive, he is not masculine. He becomes feminine. He is just like a womb – he receives. He empties himself totally, so that space is created to receive.

     “And that’s the whole art of meditation. That’s what we are doing here and for centuries that’s what mystics have been doing and masters have been telling their disciples to do: empty yourself totally, become a nothingness. And the moment you are totally nothing, at that very moment, truth descends in you; you become full of it. First you have to be empty of yourself and then you become full of God, Tao, dharma, or whatsoever name you would like to choose for it.” Osho
