The Rebel

Sacredstar · 2004-09-11T15:14:00Z

The Rebel People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment.... The enlightened man cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he cannot be imprisoned.... Every genius who has known something of the inner is bound to be a little difficult to be absorbed; he is going to be an upsetting force. The masses don't want to be disturbed, even though they may be in misery; they are in misery, but they are accustomed to the misery. And anybody who is not miserable looks like a stranger. The enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no community, no society, no nation. Osho The Zen Manifesto This piece reminds me of my father known as the rebel and peaceful warrior, his country residence was called 'Rebels Rest'. Love beyond meausre Kim xx

RE: The Rebel

As these are the Buddhist pages, one of the Buddha's sayings seems appropriate here:

"Come, behold this world, how it resembles an ornamented royal chariot in which fools flounder. For the wise, however, there is no attachment to it." (Dhammapada no. 171)

Love and peace,

Judy

RE: The Rebel

Dear Judy

Perhaps you would do us the honour of explaining why you feel this quote is appropriate to the thread and the intent of sharing the wisdom on the 'Rebel' by Osho.

Thank you

PS I have started a different thread for the sayings of Buddha
