We become so much obsessed with language that we forget that language is not the reality. OSHO

Sannyas has to be a real break away. A loving surrender to the new....

We become so much obsessed with language that we forget that language is not the reality.

 

The word `God' is not God. The word `love' is not love. The word `fire' is not fire.

 

So the first thing is to remember: don't get attached too much to words, don't get obsessed too much with words.

 

Words are only symbols, indicative: use them, but don't become burdened too much by them.

 

If the word `god' creates trouble, forget that word. `Allah' will do, `Ram' will do, `X Y Z' — choose another word if that word has become wrongly associated.

 

But if you start creating a resistance against God himself, against the truth itself only you will be responsible, and only you will be missing something of tremendous value.

 

But this happens. We use language; we become so much obsessed with language that we forget that language is not the reality. In fact, one has to put language aside to see the reality.?
