"Meditation is a way of settling in oneself, at the innermost core of your being. Once you have found the center of your existence you will have found both the roots and the wings. The..."
Osho continues:
"The roots and wings come together. They are two sides of one experience, and that experience is finding the center of your being.
"We are continuously moving on the circumference, always somewhere else far away from our own being, always directed towards others. When all this is dropped, when all objects are dropped, when you close your eyes to all that is not you – even your mind, your heartbeats are left far behind – only a silence remains.
"In this silence you will settle slowly into the center of your being, and then the roots will grow on their own accord, and the wings too. You need not worry about them. You cannot do anything about them. They come on their own. You simply fulfill one condition: that is, to be at home – and the whole existence becomes a bliss to you, a benediction.
"It may have happened thousands of years before, it may happen thousands of years in the future. The time is irrelevant; the question is of the happening.
"Can you ask the same question, 'What is the difference between the ancient lovers and the modern lovers?' Love knows no time. Whether the love was in ancient times or today or in the future, time is simply not relevant. Love is the same.
"An upanishad is a love affair – a love affair between a master and a disciple, a love affair where the master is ready to share. He is just like a raincloud, ready to shower. And the disciple is ready to receive – open, with no windows closed, holding nothing back – totally available. Whenever a disciple is totally available and the master is overflowing with his ecstasy, the upanishad happens.
"There is no difference in the ancient Upanishads, in this upanishad, or in the future upanishads. An upanishad is a phenomenon which is beyond time, beyond space. Don't call upanishads ancient, because that word ancient makes them related to time. Don't call this upanishad modern, because time has no place as far as the phenomenon of upanishad is concerned. There is no ancient love, there is no modern love."

Osho,"There is no difference. There cannot be, because it is not a question of time.
What is the difference between the ancient Upanishads and the one which is happening here and now?
"It may have happened thousands of years before, it may happen thousands of years in the future. The time is irrelevant; the question is of the happening.
