Nobody is going to be my successor... ~OSHO~

Only those who are ready to become nobodies are able to love.”
~OSHO~


Nobody is going to be my successor.
“But nobody is my follower. Nobody is going to be my successor.
Each sannyasin is my representative.
When I am dead, you all — individually — will have to represent me to the world.
There is not going to be any pope.
There is not going to be any shankaracharya.
Each sannyasin, in his own capacity, has to represent me.
This has never happened — but it is going to happen!
You are all my successors.
When I am dead, that simply means,
I have left this body and entered all the bodies of my people.
I will be within you. I will be part of you.”


O S HO

RIGHT SPEECH




There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that -
"A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation."
Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.
A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site.
A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me?
We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you.
" Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship.
It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.
