Life is full of mysteries. We leave this world without understanding the untouched dimensions of life. The purpose of this blog is to explore these dimensions.

Wars

Greetings, everyone. Today, we would like to discuss the current war. As we view the ongoing conflict through the lens of the present moment, it appears to be a war between two nations—one powerful, the other weaker—in which the stronger nation is attacking the weaker one, seeking to seize its oil, resources, and assets for itself. However, this is not the whole story.

If we examine this from a historical perspective, we find that warfare has been a constant throughout human history. War is the product of intrinsic human traits: envy, malice, hatred, and ego. Just as personal quarrels stem from these very emotions, so too do conflicts between nations. History bears witness that ever since humans began organizing themselves into concepts such as families, societies, states, and nations, they have been engaged in perpetual conflict. They have fought for wealth, for land, for resources, for women, for the gratification of their egos, to humiliate others, and to satisfy a myriad of other negative impulses of the mind—thereby plunging this entire civilization into the abyss of war. The root cause of this lies in the human being's own deep-seated sense of inferiority—a void that individuals attempt to fill through the acquisition of wealth, status, prestige, or material possessions. Yet, this void can never truly be filled; it is insatiable, and no external means can ever fully satisfy it. Due to the whims of a single tyrant, the entire human race becomes engulfed in war; we then find ourselves taking sides—debating who is right and who is wrong—and, in doing so, we fall prey to delusion. Consequently, with humanity fractured into opposing camps, our entire civilization is pushed to the very brink of destruction. In the past, wars were fought with bows and arrows, spears, or other relatively primitive weapons; a single individual could, at most, destroy only a handful of others—perhaps five or ten. However, given the means available to us today, the entire human race stands on the precipice of total annihilation. Nuclear bombs, atomic bombs, and hydrogen bombs possess the power to obliterate our entire civilization. We must, therefore, pause and reflect: we have achieved such remarkable progress in science and have embraced such an abundance of comforts and conveniences—but to what end? Progress appears futile, and the very reasons for which we pursued it seem utterly pointless and in vain. All our thoughts, our entire education, and all our virtues are rendered baseless. If humanity continues to engage in such conflict, its civilization is bound to perish; we must reflect deeply upon this matter.

Search of Peace

What are you doing? You must be doing something or the other. You cannot live without doing anything. That is not in your control. You keep doing something or the other for the entire 24 hours. You dream while sleeping. While awake you remain entangled in thoughts. You cannot live without doing anything. If you look into someone's eyes, a kind of search, a kind of quest, a kind of restlessness is visible in his eyes. It seems that he has lost something.

Actually he has lost something but he himself does not know what he has lost. I want to tell you that he has lost his peace, his happiness. Throughout our lives we keep searching for this peace and happiness. The means may be different for everyone but the search is the same for everyone. Some search for it in money, some search for it in position, some search for it in power. But the search continues but he does not achieve anything. In the search of money, position, prestige, he gets only sorrow and disappointment. His sorrow is that he does not get peace. This is the reason for the restlessness of all of us. Only a few people are able to attain that bliss and peace. Otherwise most of the people depart from this life incomplete. That ultimate peace and bliss cannot be found anywhere outside.

The story of Rabia is popular in this regard. She was an old woman. Once she created a drama to make people understand. She started pretending to search for something in front of her house. It was evening, darkness was slowly descending. People passing through the street started saying to her, Rabia, what are you searching for? She said my needle has fallen, I am searching for it. All the people started searching for her needle and started looking here and there but the needle was not seen anywhere. One person asked where did your needle fall? She said that it had fallen inside the house, the person replied that when the needle has fallen inside the house then why are you searching for it outside in the street? Rabia said, I also say that the source of happiness and ultimate peace is within you and you are searching for it outside. Just like you cannot find my needle if you search outside, similarly you cannot find happiness and peace outside, you will have to search for it within yourself.

Justice of nature

This nature is always just. We can see from the outside that someone is being treated unfairly and oppressed, but nature is completely just. Our mind, our thinking power, comes in between. When something doesn't happen according to our wishes, we get upset and go into sorrow. Our thinking against the law of nature is our sorrow. If we remove the mind from the middle, we will never be sad. When things don't happen according to our wishes, we become sad.

This nature has made all living beings perfect. Nature has not made any difference between the smallest particle of soil and a human. When you go out and look, even a leaf of a tree has developed with complete artistry, nature has not done any injustice to it either. Look at the flowers, how many colours have been filled in them, look at the butterflies, how colourful they are. The moon, the stars, the galaxies, these flowing waterfalls, these rivers, these seas, these birds, where do you find any deficiency in them, they are all perfect.

When we compare in nature, it is always a comparative study. Can a flower be compared to a lion? Can a small blade of grass be compared to a big star like the Sun? But comparison itself is wrong. A blade of grass is perfect in itself and the Sun is also perfect in itself. Our intelligence which makes such comparisons is a fool's work. Nature has created everything and it has its own rules and according to them it never gives anything less or more to anyone. It gives everyone complete freedom, complete opportunities to bloom and flourish. How does a small seed become such a big tree? Nature has given an inbuilt program inside it and the whole existence is engaged in making it a tree. The gravitational force of the earth makes the falling one fall and the one who walks in balance with it is lifted higher. All the forces in nature are positive. Our mind and intelligence find flaws in it.

Unconsciousness of Mind

This is a very mysterious formula that if a person starts knowing himself as he is, then it does not take long for him to become what he wants to be. It does not take long, because when we start seeing faults, we start getting free from them. And when diseases come into our eyes, we start trying to become healthy. And when we start seeing dark patches in our mind, we start lighting lamps there.

But for any revolution and for any awakening of wisdom, it is very essential and necessary that I start knowing myself as I am. Hence self-introspection. Self-introspection is the formula, only then will wisdom awaken, otherwise it will not awaken.

We give up a lot of things in life. People say, let us renounce - let go of wealth, someone says, let go of greed; someone says, let go of anger. I say: we will not be able to give up, no matter how much we say. No matter how much we give up wealth, we will not be able to give up.

If the confused mind gives up wealth, it will hold on to giving up wealth; If he gives up pleasures, he will hold on to renunciation; if he gives up domestic life, he will hold on to renunciation, but the attachment will continue. Because the mind is unconscious, it makes no difference if it gives up. An unconscious mind cannot give up greed.

If our mind is unconscious, it cannot give up anything. And if it is not unconscious, it cannot hold on to anything. Therefore, the most important thing is not to give up anything else, the central thing is: giving up unconsciousness. Unconsciousness and unconsciousness should be given up from the mind, there should be a free unconscious life-behavior, there should be an awakened life-behavior.

Inner fear of human

Fear also works behind man's desire to accumulate wealth. He is accumulating wealth, and on the basis of wealth he will say that he has no fear. But accumulating wealth is a symptom of fear. The habit of frightening and suppressing people also arises due to fear.

Christ told his disciples one day: He who worries about tomorrow is afraid. Because he is afraid of what will happen tomorrow? He is afraid of tomorrow. Christ said that become like these flowers which bloom and wither: but those who have no worries.

But I do not consider it a very good thing for flowers not to have any worries. There is a lack of awareness there. Not being like a flower. That means if awareness is removed from within you, then you will also become certain. But that kind of certainty will not bring fearlessness. Fear will remain behind that kind of certainty. That is why even the greatest people who have made themselves very certain, who have made themselves very secure, they also remain fearful inside.

When Genghis Khan was returning after looting India... he had beheaded thousands of people. In whichever country he went, he beheaded thousands of people. In whichever capital he went, he would first get the heads of ten thousand children beheaded and would ask his soldiers to put them on spears and take out a procession in the entire city, so that people could see that Genghis had come and understand who had come. At night, from where the army used to pass, he would set fire to the nearby village, so that there would be light and the path of the army would be clear. But he was so afraid of his death that he could not sleep the whole night, he would pick up his sword again and again. At the slightest sound, he would put his hand on the sword. He could not sleep at night, he used to sleep during the day. He never slept at night. He used to sleep during the day, when soldiers were standing all around with naked swords, then he used to sleep. In the darkness of the night, suppose the soldiers dozed off, suppose someone entered in the darkness, that is why he could not sleep at night. He was afraid of the darkness. And that is how he died. When he was returning from India, one night he felt this, he felt it in his dream, and for a man who kills all day, it is not very difficult for him to dream of being killed at night, it is very natural. He saw that the wicked have entered, the enemies have entered, and are looking to kill him. He woke up immediately in his sleep and ran. His foot got stuck in the rope of the tent outside, he fell and died in panic. A man who killed millions of people mercilessly, he was so scared.

Don't consider Alexander and Napoleon and Hitler to be brave men, they are all scared people. Actually, by killing others, they want to convince themselves that if we can kill so many people then who can kill us. There is nothing else. Therefore, the more scared a person is, the more he will try to kill people, he will try to suppress them. He is trying to create self-confidence, self-confidence, that if I can kill so many people then who can kill me! There is fear of death. By killing many people and leaving behind a pile of corpses, he brings this confidence and creates security.

Silence

The day you can clearly see where the disturbance is in the mind and what are the reasons for it, that day you don't have to do any practice. Understanding alone brings a revolution in life. You start behaving differently.

There was a saint in South India. In his ashram, a young man was very talkative, very logical and argumentative. Like religious people are generally. Religious people are generally argumentative. And the more argumentative a person is, we say, the greater is his Maharshi. The more he refutes, argues and debates, it is said that he is more knowledgeable. That young man was also very knowledgeable, from morning till evening he had no work except refuting and arguing. This scripture is right and that scripture is wrong, and this religion is right and that religion is wrong, continuously. One day a traveling sannyasi was a guest at that ashram. That young man debated with him a lot and defeated him.

What else is the joy of debate except that we defeat someone. And where the person who defeats is present, it does not matter whether the defeat is brought about by argument or by the sword, violence is present. They are the same kind of people. In the old days, Gurus used to go from village to village, searching for enemies, going to fight with them, going to defeat them in debate. All these are the efforts of the ego, they have nothing to do with knowledge.

As soon as he came, he started fighting with that sannyasi and troubled that sannyasi a lot till the evening, he shattered all his arguments. In the evening, the defeated sannyasi left. That young man looked at his friends with great pride.

His Guru said to him, look, I never told you, but you have been here for three years continuously and you argue and reason from morning to evening. Today I ask you, will you ever try being silent or not? And I request you that you argued and debated for so many days, what did you get? If you got anything, then tell me also, I will also argue, I will also argue. If you have not found it, then try being silent. Since when will you be silent?

Do you know what that young man did? He closed his eyes, sat silent for two moments, and told his Guru that I am saying these last words and that I will never speak again.

That was the last day, then he did not speak for the rest of his life. People came and told his Guru that this young man seems to be completely mad, earlier he used to argue a lot and now he has become completely silent!

His Guru said: People like him are rarely found, such clear understanding is difficult. He did not even need to practice, he saw the thing and it happened. He listened, understood, closed his eyes for two moments and became silent, he saw the thing that the peace that was not there in logic, was there in the silence of two moments. The logic went and dissolved.

Awakening of Mind

The mind should be free from all bondages, only then we can understand the meaninglessness of this world. The first step is to awaken one's own conscience. In the second step, how can one's own conscience be awakened, by which methods, which paths the sleeping power of conscience can be awakened within, we will talk about this today.

Before we start thinking about this, it is necessary to understand one very basic thing. And that is that only those powers awaken and become active within a human being, for which a challenge is posed in life. Those powers remain asleep, for which there is no challenge in life.

If a person does not have to use his eyes for years, then the awakened power of the eyes will also go to sleep. If a person does not have to walk with his feet for years, then the feet will also become crippled. Life stops those powers, for which we do not use actively. On the contrary, life starts creating those powers for which a challenge is posed.

The discoveries that science has been able to make in this direction also support this. In animals, creatures, birds or humans, only those powers have awakened and become active for which life has posed a challenge. Where there is a lack of challenges, where there are no inspirations, there is no reason for the powers to awaken.

Trees grow tall in dense forests, in the forests of Africa, trees start growing towards touching the sky. Trees cannot get the facility of breathing in dense forests if they are low, a big question must be raised before them, their lives must be in danger, so they constantly try to rise up, so that they can get air and light. But where there are no dense forests, trees remain small, there the trees do not grow big. In deserts, camels lengthened their necks, without this it was impossible to survive. The principle of life is that the powers which we need continuously become strong and those which are not needed remain in a dormant state.

God and Nature One who makes his mind a calm and silent mirror will start seeing God everywhere. If he listens to a bird singing, he will hear God's voice in the song. If he sees a flower blooming, he will find God's fragrance in the blooming of that flower. He starts realizing a unique power all around. But this will happen only when our mind is so pure and clean that an image can be formed in it, a reflection can be formed in it.

You must have seen when you go to a lake, if there are many waves rising on the lake, if there is the moon in the sky, then no reflection of the moon is formed on the lake. And if the lake is absolutely calm, no waves rise in it, it is quiet and silent like a mirror, then the moon is visible in it. And the moon that is visible in the lake is even more beautiful than the one that is in the sky above.

Nature is spread all around, but our mind is not like a mirror. That is why no image of that nature appears in it, no picture is formed. And then we are deprived of knowing what exists around us.

Food and Body Relation

The personality of a human being is made up of many layers. And a proper understanding of these layers is necessary to cross these layers. It is necessary to know that which we have to cross; it is necessary to recognize that from which we have to be free. What appears to a man from the outside is not his complete body; it is only the first layer of his bodies. When we look at a man, what we see is called by the sages as 'Annamaya Kosha' - the physical body.

This body is received from the parents; it is not yours; this layer is not you; this layer is a long tradition. Thousands of bodies have created this body. The seed that your parents give you contains the entire built-in process of this body, the entire possibility of this body's existence.

Now scientists say that whatever appears in your body in your entire life, all of it is hidden in your first seed-cosh; nothing new happens. The colour of your eyes, the colour of your hair, the colour of your skin, your age - whatever will result in your personality, all of that is hidden in that seed; it is not you. That body has a long journey of its own... you have got it from your parents, they have got it from their parents - it is a long journey... it is a long journey of millions of years.

If we go back to our body, then the entire history of this world is hidden in the body of every person. This world must have been created on the first day, even on that day some part of your body was present; that evolved to form your body. The entire story of this existence is hidden in a small seed-cell; it is not yours, it has a long tradition. That seed-cell has come to you travelling through who knows how many humans, who knows how many animals, who knows how many plants, who knows how many minerals. That is your first layer; the sages call that layer Annakosh. It is called Annakosh because the process of its formation takes place through food; It is made from food.

Every person's body changes every seven years. Everything changes - bones, flesh, marrow - everything changes; if a man lives for seventy years, his entire body changes ten times.

Lamp of Knowledge

When the lamp of your knowledge is lit, there is light in your life. That light is called conduct. Conduct is the fruit of knowledge, it is born from knowledge. Knowledge is light, conduct is the light spreading from that light. And misconduct is darkness, which started going away, which started moving away, started running away. But this will not happen with bookish knowledge.

Conduct follows knowledge just like your shadow follows you!

A carefree young man was walking on the road. His eyes fell on a shining stone. Ah, he said, colourful stone, lovely stone. He picked it up and started walking on the road tossing it in his hand and singing a song. That stone was not an ordinary stone, it was a precious diamond. But he only knew that it was a colourful stone, we will take it home, small children will play with it.

While he was walking singing a song and tossing the stone, he met a rider and that rider said, friend, close your fist. The young man said, why? He did not understand and kept standing still tossing the stone. The rider said again, it is not a stone, it is a diamond, a precious diamond. The fist that was open suddenly closed, the tossing stopped. Not only did the fist close, he quickly put it in his pocket. He said, brother, thank you!

The rider asked, first I told you to close your fist, you did not. And now I did not tell you to close your fist, I said

It is a diamond, why did your fist close?

When you know that it is a diamond, then the fist will be closed. Fists close on diamonds. There was a slight difference, a difference of knowledge, the realization that it is a diamond, everything changed. Behavior changed. But the realization should happen by oneself.

Now these external diamonds, even if someone else makes you aware of them, it happens, because the diamond is outside you and outside the other person as well. If the jeweler says that it is a diamond, then you believe it. But the diamonds I am talking about are internal diamonds and no jeweler can say anything about them. And even if he says something, how will you see it unless you have insight?

Double faces

Petty conduct means conduct done with some purpose. Supreme conduct means conduct without any purpose. This purposeless conduct arises from Tao, is achieved through experience of nature.

This second thing has to be kept in mind. Petty conduct arises from social beliefs. It is achieved through teaching, education, sanskar. Whatever conduct you are doing, you have got it from sanskar. Whatever misconduct you are doing, that too has been achieved from sanskar. You have learnt it. And our problem is that we have to learn double standards. Double mind is our entire education.

The father is telling the son - speak the truth! And the son knows a thousand times that the father lies. This same father, after a while, when someone knocks on the door of the house, tells the son - go and tell that father is not at home. All this is beyond the son's understanding as to what is happening. But gradually he will understand that double faces are necessary in life. One face, which is only for discussion, for thought, for ideals, for bragging; of ideals, of beauty, of imagination, of dreams; it does not have to be fulfilled. And there is a face, which has to be fulfilled. That is the real one. This ideal face is a mask to hide the real. Because the real is ugly, cover it with beauty and keep on believing in your mind that you are beautiful. But it is difficult to live with beauty. An ugly face is needed to live.

That is why every person keeps many types of faces in order. And we keep changing our faces twenty four hours a day. Whenever there is a need, we wear that face. This is the sign of a skilled and successful man.

This dual state of learning both good conduct and bad conduct together, because of this every person gets divided, splits, gets divided into pieces. He has to live on two levels simultaneously. He has to board two boats simultaneously. He has to go out of two doors simultaneously. The whole reason for life being filled with stress is that we are riding two boats at the same time; stress is inevitable. And the boats are such that one goes east and the other goes west.

Negativity

Why are humans negative? The answer to this question is quite broad and deep, as it involves various reasons that can make humans negative. Human history, civilization, and culture also play a major role in this.

First reason -- The basis of human negativity can be lack of self-esteem and confidence. This deficiency can occur due to social, economic, or personal circumstances that can make a person negative.

Second reason -- The origin of human negativity can be the weakness of human relationships and organizations. At the highest level, it can make a person unable to understand his characteristics, strengths, and position and prevent him from forming deep relationships with other individuals.

Third reason -- Social influences, such as feeling suicidal, bored, or confused in life, which can take a person in a negative direction.

Fourth reason -- Psychological, such as mental health problems or psychological disorders that can make a person negative. This can be a form of anxiety, depression, or other mental related problems.

Finally, culture, changing circumstances, and if the individual does not have the appropriate strengths can cause negativity to arise.

To understand human negativity, we need to understand its causes, as well as its possible solutions. Education, support, and sensitization and involvement of society play an important role in enhancing human positivity.

Energy

The visible physical world appears in the form of matter. Earlier scientists believed that the universe was created from matter. Then they broke the matter and found the microscopic atom. Then they broke the atom and found the electron in it. And scientists are surprised to see that the behaviour of 'sub-atomic particles' is not fixed - sometimes in the form of a particle and sometimes in the form of a wave! And this is the identity of consciousness. The behaviour of inanimate elements is fixed. That of the conscious plane is uncertain. The conscious element itself is decisive. This consciousness is energy. Matter has gradually disappeared. Only energy is left.

Indian sages have been saying for thousands of years that this world is a play of energy and the source of energy is Shabd i.e. Omkar. The vast world is made up of the subtlest Omkar. Our sages have contemplated on that energy and have done numerous experiments on it. It is an experience for all the seekers of the spiritual path that the energy of God keeps pouring always. The more a man realizes it, the closer he will reach God.

The energy that emerges from the gross body is located in the subtle body within the gross body. It is called the energy body. Yoga has talked about upward movement through the seven chakras located in this subtle body. Raising the energy from the lowest Muladhara Chakra, it passes through the inner subtle chakras namely Swadhisthana, Manipur, Anahat, Vishuddha, Agya and finally enters the Sahasrar. This is called Kundalini awakening. The arrival of energy in the Sahasrar is the destination of the spiritual path. This is the union of God and on reaching here the seeker proclaims 'Aham Brahmasmi'.

To awaken this energy, the seeker takes the help of Pranayam or Yoga. Then he enters into meditation and Samadhi and unites with Brahma.

State of happiness

'Happiness is the natural state of life' means bliss. And what is bliss? It is very difficult to say. A dumb person eats jaggery and smiles.' What is bliss? It cannot be explained in words, but some hints can be given.

In 'Utsav amar jaati, amar gotra', Osho has given some such hints. Come, let us try to catch some hints as to what bliss is. First hint- bliss is the state of zero ego.

Where there is ego, there is no bliss... there is no happiness. There are two levels of consciousness. The first level is outside, which we call the level of personality, ghost nature, or ego. The second level is inside, which we call the level of individuality, Buddha nature, or soul. As far as there is personality or ego, there is ego, there is a sense of being; there is no bliss. It is a little easier to explain through Neti-Neti. First understand what is not happiness, then it will be a little easier to understand what is happiness. So the first thing is, what is not happiness? As far as there is ego, there is no happiness. Then what is happiness?

Second hint- happiness is our nature. Not personality, individuality is our nature.The periphery: that is personality, the center: that is individuality. Our basic nature is that which we have not borrowed from any society, which is not conditioning from education and sanskar, which we have brought with us. Which is natural, with which we are born. So the second thing I would like to say about happiness is that it is our original nature, basic nature.

The third thing about happiness or joy is that happiness is inner journey. It is found by going within. Whatever is found from outside is not happiness. What is obtained by going into the depths of one's innermost being is happiness.

Fourth thing- happiness is a state of peace. Where there is no mind, or say where there is this state of madness – beyond the mind, beyond thoughts, which is called Kabir.

Love yourself

The next step of love is meditation. When love develops, it becomes meditation. What does meditation mean? Meditation means loving yourself.

And this can happen only when someone else has loved you. For the first time you become valuable in your own eyes. For the first time you are able to think that I have not come into this world as an accident. I am not an uninvited guest in this world. At least one life will be lacking in my absence. At least one heart will not beat the way it beats in my presence. At least one courtyard will become desolate, if I am not planted in that courtyard like a Tulsi plant. And for the first time you yourself become valuable in your own eyes. Then you remember yourself. Remember, love begins with self-forgetfulness and love culminates in self-remembering.

For the first time you think of yourself. Then you start grooming yourself. You start dressing yourself. You start styling your hair. You start paying attention to your clothes. Until someone loves you, how do you think of yourself? I have often heard men wear clothes just like that and go away. People say, brother, at least wear clothes properly. Men say, what new marriage do you have to do now? What new love do you have to develop? When you are in someone's sight, when you are in love with someone, only then do you think of yourself. So the second step to be taken is of self-remembrance, of meditation, of love for yourself. So the upward movement of love is meditation, that is, love for yourself. And then once the direction of upward movement starts, you take the third step also - of faith, of love for the Guru. When you become valuable in your own eyes, then a desire arises that how do we make ourselves happy? How do we enrich ourselves from within and from outside? And then a thirst arises - the thirst for happiness. The thirst to keep yourself happy. The thirst to make yourself happy.

And then you set out on a quest and this quest itself takes you to the feet of the Guru. It takes us to satsang, it takes us to discipleship. It takes us to faith.

Love

This village of fools, let's go to a place where there is harmony.' This world is amazing. It is very interesting in love stories. But in real life, if someone falls in love, then the people around start speaking ill of him. Love is the first step towards God. And this first step is such that God comes to you on the first step itself. So in a way, this first step is the last step.

Love is a feeling. As we grow up, we become insensitive. Because this society, this world, the people around us call your feelings childish. Even now you get stunned on seeing the moon! Even now you run after butterflies. Even now you sit on the river bank and watch the waves. People think that he is a child. He has not matured yet. Society organizes such events that you keep killing your feelings. If you look at beauty, people will think you are a vagabond. If you dance looking at the clouds, people will call you crazy. If you hum looking at the mountains, people will call you mad. You become happy, you start being happy, you start laughing, people will say that he is mad, crazy.

Once we three, four friends reached a mental asylum with a sadhvi. I called the doctor there and told him that we are coming to see the mental asylum and we have a guest with us. The doctor thought that guest means mad. When we reached there, the doctor met us at the gate itself. He welcomed us with a smile. He said come, ok- looking at that sadhvi he said- ok we have to admit him. I said that your eyesight is amazing. How did you understand without being told? He said that only a mad person can be so happy. Love is a feeling and only a sensitive heart can love.

This feeling makes someone a Buddha and this insensitivity makes someone a fool. The names that you hear- Buddha, Nanak, Kabir, Arjundev, Meera, Sahajo, Daya. These are the names of sensitive people. These were loving people.

Inner Happiness

Excitement cannot last for long. But remember one thing. The day you discover the treasure of happiness within you, from that day onwards that wealth remains with you. It was always there, only you were not aware of it.

The source of happiness is within. The search for happiness goes on outside but it is not found. Happiness is the outer periphery of happiness. If you understand this from the story told by Osho, then the matter will become very clear. A Sufi woman named Rabia is searching for something on the road. People gather and ask what are you searching for? Rabia says that her needle has fallen. She is an old woman and her eyesight is weak. The villagers also start searching for it. The needle is there but they cannot find it. Someone asked - 'Rabiya, where did your needle fall? So many people are searching for it but they cannot find it.' Rabia says - 'Don't ask this. The needle has fallen inside the hut.' People say - 'You have gone mad in old age. You are making others mad too. When the needle has fallen inside, then why are you searching for it outside?' Rabiya says- 'There is light outside and only in the light can something be found. That is why I am searching here.' People laugh- 'You are absolutely mad.' Rabiya laughs even louder and says- 'I am a little mad. You all are big mad. You are searching for happiness where it is not there. And where it is, inside, you do not search there.'

Understand this thing properly that happiness is inside. Happiness is not outside. In this nature, all things appear from inside to outside. When we are happy from inside, happiness appears outside as well.
