“Mind has no
intelligence in it. There has never been an intelligent mind. I don't mean that
there have never been intelligent people; there have been intelligent people,
but there has never been an intelligent mind. Intelligence is something that
comes when mind is dropped. Mind is never original, never radical. Mind is
always orthodox. Mind is always repetitive, mechanical; it functions like a
robot. It goes on repeating the same thing again and again. It is like a
computer: whatsoever you feed into it, it goes on chewing it again and again.
Have you watched your
own mind and its functioning? Nothing new ever happens to it. Nothing new can
happen to it. And because of it you remain oblivious of all that is happening
all around you; you go on ignoring it. You are too much attached to this
mediocre, stupid instrument. It is good to use it; it is good as a reservoir,
as memory; it is good to keep records -- but it is not a way to see into
reality. It has no eyes.
Mind is blind like a
bat. It has no eyes. Mind can never be intelligent -- only no-mind is
intelligent. Only no-mind is original and radical. Only no-mind is
revolutionary -- revolution in action.
This mind gives you a
sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the
projections of the future, you go on living -- at the minimum. You don't live
at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim. Once you start dropping thoughts,
the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises -- clean, clear,
alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke.
That is what awareness is.
Consciousness without
thinking: that's what awareness is. Being alert and with no thought. Try it!
whenever you see thinking gathering, disperse it! pull yourself out of it! Look
at the trees with no screens of thinking between you and the trees. Listen to
the chirping of the birds with no chirping of the mind inside. Look at the sun
rising and feel that inside you also a sun of consciousness is rising... but
don't think about it, don't assert, don't state, don't say. Simply be. And, by
and by, you will start feeling glimpses of awareness, sudden glimpses of
awareness -- as if a fresh breeze has entered into your room which was getting
stale and dead; as if a ray of light has entered into the dark night of your
soul; as if, suddenly, life has called you back.” Osho

CPU on Ecstasy
Sky velvet
Twilight Samurai
In the horizon
a Dream is guessed
it is my guest
A full unicorn
made of sand, stone and moon
comes to me…
And he fills me up
with all the Dreams
and all the poetry in this
reckless World
I wonder
in amazement
how I've let pass this beauty before
I was amazed – in a-maze
My CPU was burning like a dog
In search of his bone
His little little bone
My dear CPU
Now a star is rising
And the waves of the sea will cover
Your memory
With lilies and daffodils
Until all you can think about
All you know
is Ecstasy
