Be a Bee, Be Free!

Osho,
I am a frog. I know I'm a frog because I like swimming in murky dark green water and hopping about in slimy mud. And what is honey anyway? If a frog can be in an unpatterned state of being, will it become a bee?

"By 'frog' Saraha means a person who lives out of the past, encaged in the past, in the memories. When you live through the past you only apparently live, you don't really live. When you live through the past, you live like a mechanism, not like a man. When you live through the past, it is a repetition, it is a monotonous repetition; you miss the delight, the joy of life and existence. That's what honey is: the joy of life, the sweetness of just being herenow, the sweetness of just being able to be. That joy is honey…and there are millions of flowers blooming all around, the whole existence is full of flowers.
"If you know how to collect honey, if you know how to be joyful, you become an emperor; if you don't know, you remain a beggar. These birds singing here…honey is showering! The bee will collect, the frog will miss. This sky, this sun, these people around you…everybody is carrying infinite sources of honey, everybody is flowing with sweetness and love. If you know how to collect it and how to taste it, it is all over the place – God is all over the place. The taste of God is what Saraha calls honey.
"The bee has a few things…and those have to be understood, and they are very dangerous things. One: the bee is never attached to any flower. That is the most profound secret: the bee is not attached to any flower. It has no nuclear family, no wife, no husband. It simply moves wherever any flower invites it. It has freedom.
"Man has become confined to the family. Tantra is very much against family, and the insight is great. Tantra says it is because of family that love has been completely damaged, that the sweetness of life has completely been poisoned. People are clinging to each other, people are trying to possess each other, not to enjoy but to possess. Possession has become the enjoyment. There has happened a great shift: you are with a woman not to enjoy her – you are not enjoying her. You are with a man not to enjoy the man – you are not enjoying at all – but to possess."
