SITTING AT YOUR FEET: WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?
Beloved Osho,
As I walk to discourse each morning, this thought comes before me:
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS BLISSFUL EXPERIENCE OF SITTING AT YOUR FEET?
Joyfully, sometimes tearfully, awaiting your glance upon me and then longing for the next day to dawn and bring with it yet one more opportunity of being in your presence... Beloved Master, is this not also a type of greed? Zareen, EXISTENCE IS SO GENEROUS, life is so bountiful that one need not deserve, need not be worthy to receive its gifts. On the contrary, ONE HAS TO BE ABSOLUTELY HUMBLE, a nobody -- receptive, available, with all the doors of the heart open, TRUSTING -- and existence showers on him flowers, like the rain.
And the experience deepens one's humbleness and creates a new quality in one's being, of which one is generally not
aware -- that of GRATEFULNESS, gratefulness to all, gratefulness to the whole. Do we deserve life? Do we deserve love? THE VERY IDEA OF DESERVING HAS BEEN IMPLANTED IN US by the marketplace. What these trees deserve?
But the sun comes every day and the stars come every night, and the trees are constantly in silent meditation. They are also waiting. And waiting is not greed, WAITING IS SIMPLY OUR NATURE, waiting means that OUR DOORS ARE OPEN and we are ready to WELCOME THE GUEST whenever he comes.
