I WILL NOT HAVE SUCCESSORS

Beloved Osho,

You have often said you will have no successors. But won't all those who love you be your successors in that we carry you in our blood and bones and so you are part of us forever?

 Maneesha,

The concept of the successor is bureaucratic. The very idea of succession is not the right idea in the world of consciousness. That's why I have said I WILL NOT HAVE SUCCESSORS. But you are right in saying that YOU WILL CARRY IN YOUR BONES AND IN YOUR BLOOD MY LOVE, MY INSIGHT. But don't use the word 'successor', rather use the words 'YOU WILL BE ME'.

Life is a pilgrimage to nowhere

Life is a pilgrimage to nowhere, from nowhere to nowhere. 

And between these two nowhere is the now-here.

Nowhere consists of two words: now, here.

Between these two nowheres is the now-here

Each day brings its own problems, its own challenges and each moment brings its own questions.

And if you have ready-made answers in your head you will not be able even to listen to the question.
