Hello Krishna
28 years ago I was an ardent follower of Baghwan now known as Osho. He is still close to my heart although I have moved on since he died. Some of his discourses are beautiful. I particularly am fond of his talks on TAO the three treasures.
However sometimes he went of on a tangent that is no help to a true seeker. This quote is from one of those talks.
He says here that "if you become transformed society will not be able to oppress or exploit you. you". This is true, because when you awaken you are out of the ego and mind game on which it all runs. You can see right through all the manipulations.
However knowing this, will not help you to awaken. It is simply a truth given as entertainment.
He also says here that "if you become full of light, you will be rebellious".
This can easily be taken the wrong way.
When awakening happens there is a sense of oneness, it is clearly seen that separation is an illusion of the mind. It is seen that all things are connected - really seen....as a living truth and not as a theory.
The identification with the ego is dissolved. One no longer is fooled by the egoic minds false promises and dreams.
One sees that all is an expression of god.
One is beyond the duality of good and bad, right and wrong, love and fear, life and death.
All is one.
In this awakened state their is no rebellion to what is. What would you be rebelling against but the all that is god. There is no identification with the egoic mind and the duality of opposites that it creates.
The mind creates all the problems and then tries to supply answers to those very problems. The mind creates rebellion. In awakening one doesn't bother rebelling against an Illusion created by the mind. In awakening one can see the truth directly and any rebellion against an illusion falls away. One is at peace with what is in the heart of god.
Osho Teachings are wonderful and specially applicabale for modern generation.
Osho main emphasis was on meditation and being more and more aware in actions.
