Be Your Own Guiding Light

OSHO





All Buddhas appear to be negative. Gautama Buddha says, there is no truth in the Vedas and Upanishads. Beware of beautiful words, beware of philosophic speculation. Don't waste your time with hair-splitting, with logic. Be silent! Throw the Vedas out of your head, only then can you be silent. You have to be told that the false is false. You have to begin with this, “Neti, neti“ -neither this nor that.The master has to say to you, “This is false, that is false.“He has to go on pointing out to you whatsoever is false first, because when you have known all that is false, suddenly a transformation happens in your consciousness. When you have become aware of the false, you start becoming aware of the true. You cannot be taught what is truth, but you can certainly be taught what is not truth.You have been conditioned, you can be unconditioned.
Buddha says, look into your heart. Follow your nature. He is not saying to follow scriptures. He is not saying to follow him. He is not teaching you any morality . He is not trying to create a certain character around you, because all characters are beautiful prison cells.He is not giving you a certain way of life. Rather, he is giving you courage, to follow your own nature. He wants you to be brave enough to listen to your own heart and go accordingly .
“Follow your nature“ means flow with yourself. You are the scripture... and hidden deep down within you is a still, small voice. If you become silent, you will be guided from there.The master has only to make you aware of your inner master.
