“Man’s mind has become objective and it has forgotten a language that was of subjectivity. He looks out, and he has looked deeply into the outer world in the form of the different sciences. The mind has penetrated matter to its innermost being. It has reached the farthest star, but it has forgotten one basic thing: ‘Who is within me?’

      “Now, all this knowledge of the objective world is of no value in comparison to having a little glimpse of the inner sky and its beauty – its sunrises and sunsets, its days and nights, its sky and its stars. Then the outer looks only a paler reflection of the inner; the inner becomes more real and the outer becomes just a shadow.

      “Although the past was in many ways difficult, on one single point – the search for consciousness – we are now much lower on the scale. You have to understand these dialogues. They don’t belong to the world in which you live, they don’t belong to the mind that you have right now. But intelligence has the capacity to enter different realms of consciousness, and it is a tremendous experience that people have lived differently, loved differently, heard differently a music, a dance, a beatitude. If you can get even little glimpses of the world that is lost, you will be able to find the track of your own buddhahood.

      “That was the dedication of all the intelligent people of the past – to find one’s own kingdom which cannot be taken away; nothing can destroy it, fire cannot burn it. Death does not happen in that dimension, only roses of bliss, lotuses of ecstasy, and a freedom that has no limits. A joy comes to every fiber of your being; every cell of your being starts to dance without any reason. Just for the sake of being, one feels at the very highest peak of existence. One cannot ask for more, it has already been given, just we have lost the way to our own home.” Osho
