"Let us first talk a little about the disease called man. Man is a disease because deep down the very being of man is split, it is not one. Hence continuous disease, uneasiness, anxiety, angst..."

Osho continues:
"So schizophrenia is not something that happens to a few unfortunate people, it is just the normal state of affairs. Man is born split, hence continuously there is a duality, an indecisiveness, a wavering. You cannot decide who you really want to be, you cannot decide where to go, you cannot choose between two alternatives, you remain ambiguous.

"Whatsoever you do, a part of you remains against it. Your doing is never total. And a doing that is not total cannot be fulfilling, and a doing that is chosen only by one part of your being against the other part, will create more and more rift in your being. This has to be understood.

"Unity is in the end, not in the beginning. You can become a unitary being, you can become non-dual, you can come to yoga – yoga means unity, unison, integration, individuation – but that is in the end, not in the beginning. In the beginning is the dual, in the beginning is the division, in the beginning is disease.

"So unless you understand it and make an effort to transform it. The merger has not yet happened; it has happened on one level only – on the level of the body. On the level of the body you have become one, your mother and your father have melted – on the plane of the body. You have become one body. Out of two bodies a new unity has arisen, but it is only on the body, in the body, not deeper than the body. Deep in your mind you are split. And if you are split in your mind there is no way to go beyond the mind. Only a mind that has become a unity, integrated, one, becomes capable of going beyond it.

"This sutra of Buddha is tremendously significant. A very simple sutra, but don't take it literally. Of course literally also it is true, but it is the whole progress – how to become one, how to dissolve the twoness on all levels of your being, from the most gross to the most subtle, from the circumference to the centerhow to drop all duality and come to a point where suddenly you are one."
