Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Secret of right Activity, The Religion of work

Great souls: like Krishna, , Jesus, Buddha and others divine Manifestations have proved this. Work for works sake was the main principle in their character and in their life. They worked without seeking personal gain or tangible immediate results. How few welcomed them when they brought the message of Truth! How much antagonism they met! And yet they went on steadily, because they did it all through love, without any ulterior motive. If you are helping a person, do not expect that person to be grateful to you. Do not always trade in your love. Nobody can be a true worker without disinterested love in his heart. It is the oil which makes the machine of life run smoothly; and unless we have genuine love, we suffer.

We know from our own experience that whenever we love a person, no matter how tired we are, we like to do for him with our own hands. we do not trust any substitute to serve that one whom we love most truly; and our service makes us forget for the time being that we are tired. The physical constitution is lrgly dependent on the mind and mind is dependent on the thought force; hence when our thought is connected with some noble motive is brings  us refreshment . a nervous breakdown does not come because of the work we do in life. If we have proper understanding, we do not have to suffer from ay breakdown. It is the lack of an ideal the lack of concentration which wears us out, and those who work thoughtfully gradually realize this.

The healing touch

The Speaking Tree | ET

By Osho

The healer is not really a healer because he is not a doer. Healing happens through him. He has just to annihilate himself.

To be a healer really means not to be. The less you are, the better healing will happen. The more you are, the more the passage is blocked. God, the totality or whatsoever name you prefer, is the healer. The whole is the healer.

So, if you really want to become a healer, you have to accept your emptiness. When you empty yourself, from one side you go out and from another side, godliness comes in. Everybody can become a healer. Healing is something like breathing; it is natural. Somebody is ill; it meanshe has lost his capacity to heal himself. He is no more aware of his own healing source. The healer is to help him to be rejoined.

Once the energy starts flowing, he is healed. Whenever there is a choice between acceptance and reasoning, always choose acceptance.

By and by, you will see that your reason also starts helping you to accept it. Because when the reasoning comes to see that you accept anything, that a yes or no makes no difference, then reason also becomes sympathetic to your trust.

And when inside you, reason and trust meet, your own conflict is transcended. This will be the first step for your discipline to become a healer.

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
