RESTLESSNESS ITSELF IS THE PRODUCT OF OUR ATTITUDE OF NONACCEPTANCE: -
RESTLESSNESS ITSELF IS THE PRODUCT OF OUR ATTITUDE OF NONACCEPTANCE: -
One who Accepts Restlessness in its totality, one who says, “Come, Stay with Me. Be My Guest in this Very Home,” Suddenly finds the Restlessness Has Left Him.
With the Change in Our State of Mind the Restlessness Departs.
One who Accepts even the Restlessness itself, his Mind Quiets Down.
How can Restlessness Last if the Mind is Attuned to Peace?
Even Though it may be a Nonacceptance of Restlessness, the Very Restlessness itself is the Product of our Attitude of Nonacceptance.
One who says he will not Accept being Restless will Continue to be Restless, because this very Nonacceptance is itself the Root of Restlessness.
A Man says, “I won’t Accept Restlessness, I can’t Accept Suffering, I can’t Accept Death, I can’t Accept Darkness.
” That’s just fine, Don’t Accept them - but you will Continue to be Surrounded by what you will not Accept.
Instead, See What Happens by Accepting, by Agreeing to something no One else wants to Agree to.
And to Your Great Surprise you will find what you Considered your Enemy became Your Friend.
If you invite your Enemy to be your Guest, What Other course is there for him but to Become Your Friend ?
Osho,
And Now and Here,
CHAPTER 7: I TEACH DEATH
