Osho,
Leaving soon for the West, I look back on the five months with you and think: I have been with Osho and I have not been with Osho. I have seen him and yet something remains unseen.…
Osho,
Leaving soon for the West, I look back on the five months with you and think: I have been with Osho and I have not been with Osho. I have seen him and yet something remains unseen.…

Osho continues:
"I am here simply to make you alert and aware; that is: to be herenow, with all the insecurity that life is, with all the uncertainty that life is, with all the danger that life is.

"I know you come here seeking some certainty, some creed, some 'ism,' somewhere to belong to, someone to rely upon. You come here out of your fear. You are searching a sort of beautiful imprisonment – so that you can live without any awareness.

"I would make you more insecure, more uncertain, because that's how life is, that's how existence is. When there is more insecurity and more danger, the only way to respond to it is by awareness.

"There are two possibilities. Either you close your eyes and become dogmatic – become a Christian or a Hindu or a Mohammedan – then you become like an ostrich. It doesn't change life; it simply closes your eyes, it simply makes you stupid, it simply makes you unintelligent. In your unintelligence you feel secure – all idiots feel secure. In fact, only idiots feel secure. A really alive man will always feel insecure. What security can there be?

"Life is not a mechanical process. It cannot be certain. It is an unpredictable mystery. Nobody knows what is going to happen the next moment. Not even 'God' that you think resides somewhere in the Seventh Heaven, not even it – if it is there – not even it knows what is going to happen; because if it knows what is going to happen then life is just bogus, then everything is written beforehand, then everything is destined beforehand. How can it know what is going to happen next if the future is open? If 'God' knows what is going to happen the next moment, then life is just a dead mechanical process, then there is no freedom. And how can life exist without freedom? Then there is no possibility to grow, or not to grow. If everything is predestined then there is no glory, no grandeur. Then you are just robots.

"No – nothing is secure. That is my message. Nothing can be secure, because a secure life will be worse than death."
