In the Bhagavata Purana, Krishna describes the ten secondary siddhis: 1. anūrmimattvam: Being undisturbed by hunger, thirst, and other bodily appetites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddhi#Ten_secondary_siddhis Man claims to have had no food or drink for 70 years Indian military scientists are studying an 82-year-old who claims he has not had any food or drink for 70 years. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/7645857/Man-claims-to-have-had-no-food-or-drink-for-70-years.html

The disciples said to Jesus : Tell us what is the kingdom of heaven is like. There are two types of questioning: one is out of knowledge, and then it is useless because then only a debate is possible, not a dialogue. But when you ask out of ignorance, knowing well that you don’t know, when you know that you don’t know, and ask, you have become a disciple. Now it is not going to be an argument. You are just thirsty and you ask for water; you are hungry and you ask for food. You don’t know and you ask; you are ready to receive. A disciple asks knowing well that he doesn’t know. When you don’t know you are humble. When you know you become egoistic, and a Jesus cannot talk to egos. Myths are milestones, arrows towards the unknown. They are not the goal, they simply indicate. That is the meaning of the disciples’ question: TELL US WHAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE. We cannot ask what the kingdom of heaven is. Look at the quality of the question: we cannot ask what the kingdom of heaven is – that would be too much. We cannot expect the answer for that either. We can only ask what it is like, which means: ”Say something which we know; make some indications through it so we can have a glimpse.” Jesus said: It is like a mustard seed which is smaller than all seeds but when it falls on plowed soil that produces a large plant and becomes a shelter for the birds of the sky. Jesus has used this mustard seed very often, for many reasons. One: the mustard seed is the smallest seed. God is invisible, smaller than the smallest, so how can you indicate him? At the boundary of sight is the mustard seed, the smallest thing.... Beyond that you will not be able to understand because beyond is the invisible. The mustard seed is the boundary, the smallest thing in the world of the visible – you can see it but it is very small. If you go beyond you enter the world of the subtle, that which is smaller than the smallest. This mustard seed exists on the boundary. When Jesus says, ”The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed,” he is saying millions of things. That’s the beauty of a parable: you say almost nothing, you say nothing much, and yet you say many things. When the seed dies the universe is there; when the seed dies the tree is there. This is the kingdom of God; here is the kingdom of heaven. And if you are looking for it somewhere else, you are looking in vain. If you want to look into the kingdom of God, you also have to become like a seed and die: and suddenly the tree is there – you are no more and God is there. You will never encounter God. If you are there, God is not there because the seed is there. When you disappear, God is there; so there is no encounter really. ... BUT WHEN IT FALLS ON THE PLOWED SOIL.... Right earth is needed. Just a dying of the seed won’t do, because you can die on a stone and then there will be no tree, there will be simple death. You have to find right soil, right earth – and that is the meaning of discipleship. It is a training. Discipleship is a training, a learning to become a tilled, right earth. The seed is there but the right earth has to be found. You have the tree within you; the master can only give you the right earth. He can till you, he can throw the weeds out, he can make the soil worthy to receive. He can make the soil rich with fertilizers – he is a gardener. You contain all, but still you will need a gardener; otherwise you will go on throwing the seeds anywhere. They may fall on a cement road and they will die there, or they will fall on a path and people will walk over them and they will die. Somebody is needed when you are dying who can protect you. Look: when a child is born you need a midwife. Nobody says that without a midwife it would be good.... A midwife is needed because the moment is very delicate. But greater is the moment when the truth is born; greater is the moment when God is born in you – greater than all births. ... IT PRODUCES A LARGE PLANT AND BECOMES A SHELTER FOR ALL THE BIRDS OF THE SKY. And when your tree has really grown, when it has become a Buddha-tree, then millions of birds who are in search come and take shelter. Under Jesus many ’birds of heaven’ take shelter; under Buddha many ’birds of heaven’ take shelter. To those who are in search of the deepest, that tree - the Buddha-tree, the Jesus-tree – becomes a shelter and there they can feel the unknown throbbing. There they can trust, there they can come to an understanding with the unknown, and there they can take the jump.

Jesus said: If the ones who lead you should say to you, 'see, the kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will proceed you. If they say to you, 'it is in the sea, then the fish will proceed you. But the kingdom is inside of you and it is outside of you. When you know yourselves, then you will become known and you will understand that you are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty. The kingdom of God has been preached as if it is always somewhere else: in time, in space, but always somewhere else – not here and now. If the ones who lead you should say to you, 'see, the kingdom is in heaven, ... not here, somewhere high in the skies, somewhere far away; the kingdom of God is somewhere distant, very far away – then the birds of heaven will proceed you. They will reach before you, then you will be at a loss. Jesus is joking, he is saying: Then don’t hope, because the birds of heaven will reach before you! If they say to you, 'it is in the sea, then the fish will proceed you. ... and they will reach before you, you will miss. When Jesus says: If the ones who lead you should say to you,– he is indicating towards the priests – 'see, the kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will proceed you. If they say to you, 'it is in the sea, then the fish will proceed you. And the priests always say it is somewhere else. Jesus said: If the ones who lead you should say to you, 'see, the kingdom is in heaven, don’t listen to them, otherwise you will miss that kingdom forever and forever. But the kingdom is inside of you – it is not anywhere else, it is exactly where you are this moment – and it is outside of you. It is within you and it is without you. It is within you like a center, it is without you like a circumference. What is Jesus saying? Within plus without is the whole world, within plus without is the whole universe – nothing is left. When you know yourselves, then you will become known This is the synthesis. If you know yourself, you have known all. This is very subtle. What does he mean when he says: ... then you will become known? If you know yourself, the whole existence will know you; in your knowledge, the whole existence will look at you. Not only will you be looking at existence, the whole existence will also respond, because God is within and without. and you will understand that you are the sons of the living father. Everything that exists in this universe is son to the whole, it has to be so. You are born in it, through it. The whole existence has been fathering you. When Jesus says, ”God is the father,” he means all these things: that the universe cares about you, it helps you. Not only are you in search of God, God is also in search of you. The universe is not dead and detached, it responds with a loving heart. If you cry, it cries with you. If you laugh, it laughs with you. If you are in pain, existence feels the pain. If you are happy, the whole existence feels happy with you. Between you and existence there is a deep relationship. This is the emphasis: the relationship of a father to a son. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty. This is the only poverty: ignorance of oneself – there is no other poverty. You may not have riches, you may not have great palaces, you may not have empires, but those are not real riches. Only one thing is real wealth and that is self-knowledge, because it cannot be destroyed. You are poor. There is only one poverty: when you don’t know yourself. Why is it poverty? – because you are emperors, sons of a living God! The greatest that is possible has happened to you, and you are unaware of it and you go on begging. All desires are begging. It is said that if wishes were horses, beggars would be the riders. But all desires are horses, and beggars are riders – you are all riders. Look at your horses: they are your desires, begging, demanding, asking – and you have all within you but you never look within. Once you look, riches will be revealed, eternal, in abundance, you cannot exhaust them. And once you look within the whole existence recognizes your emperorship, the whole existence recognizes who you are: you are the son of the whole. Then all begging disappears, you become rich for the first time.

Keep your lower abdomen relaxed. While walking, the attention should go to the contact of each foot as it touches the ground. If other things arise, stop paying attention to the feet, notice what else too your attention and then return to the feet.

Jesus said : When he finds he will become agitated, when he become agitated, he will be astounded, and he will reign over the all. Why? When you find, why will you be troubled? You will be troubled because the thing is so great. It is so vast, infinite, that when you find it for the first time you will be completely lost. When you become aware of it for the first time, it is as if a man who has lived all his life in a dark room, in a dark cell, has been brought into the open sky, into the light of the sun. He will be troubled, his eyes will not be able to open. Even if he opens his eyes, he will be so dazzled that the light will look like darkness. The first encounter with the divine is a crisis, because you have lived many, many lives in a wrong way. You have lived many lives so miserably that when bliss happens you cannot believe it: you will be troubled. You never expected it, you never knew what was going to happen. You talk about God -- do you know? What do you mean? The word god is not God, the theories about God are not God. You may know the definition from the dictionary, from the scripture, but what do you really mean when you say, "I am seeking God"? And every seeker is in this situation: you don't know what you are seeking, you don't know what the goal is, you don't know where you are going, why you are going. A deep urge is there, that is right: a deep thirst is there, that is right. But you have never tasted that for which this thirst exists. You move, you grope -- when suddenly it happens, you will be troubled. This sentence shows that Jesus has known. A man who has not known God cannot write this sentence, a man who has not known God cannot say, "When you find him, you will be troubled." He will say, "Then you will be blissful, absolutely blissful." he will be astounded But if he has not escaped, not turned his back and run about in the world, then: ... HE WILL BE ASTOUNDED. Then he will feel the mysterium, the mysterious. Then he will laugh and smile, because out of this night such a beautiful morning. Out of this troubled state, out of this hell and fear and anguish, such a blessing! Out of thorns, such beautiful flowers. Then: he will reign over the all. Then he is a beggar no more. When desires disappear -- and they disappear only when you have attained to your self, because all desires are basically desires to attain the self, the inner consciousness, the innermost -- when you have attained the innermost, desires disappear, you are a beggar no more. You have become an emperor, you have become a king: ... AND HE WILL REIGN OVER THE ALL. Now this whole existence is his kingdom.

There is difference between accepting a thought and 'witnessing it without judging'. Remember, don’t imagine any negative thing, because if people who have an imaginative capacity imagine negative things, they start happening. If you think that you are going to get ill, you will get ill. If you think that somebody is going to be rude to you, he will be. Your very imagination will create the situation. So if a negative idea comes, immediately change it to a positive thought. Say no to it. Drop it immediately; throw it away.

Through mind we can't experience entire universe.Whatsoever you see is just your projection. And there are as many worlds as there are minds, because every mind lives in its own world. There are as many worlds as there are individuals in each of the different species. And on an even more minute level of examination, there are as many worlds as there are living organisms. In this one world the number of individual worlds is countless because the number of beings who know, perceive and experience are countless as well. On a lower level than man there are quite a large number of animals whose sense faculties are far inferior to those of men. We know that many of them cannot see or hear. Some cannot taste; some cannot smell. These creatures do not have the total experience of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell that man has. The realm of a man’s experience extends only as far as his senses allow, and it would be sheer ignorance to try to restrict the real world to that which our limited knowledge is able to perceive. Had we been blessed with more senses we would most likely have extended our world of experience still further. This is what the inventions of science have allowed us to do. I only bring this up to illustrate that our knowledge is relative to our capacity to know, to the abilities of our senses to grasp and to understand things. A dreamer. This is what being asleep means: the dreamer is lost in the dreaming.

Jesus said : as for the one who seek, let him continue to seek, until he finds. Mind is lethargic, and whenever you move upwards it is more lethargic. If you move downwards it has much energy, because a downward movement needs no effort. To reach hell no effort is needed, you will reach automatically; don't do anything and you will reach. But if you start moving higher, upwards, then effort will be needed, much effort will be needed. Many times there will come moments when the mind will say, "What are you doing? Why are you making so much effort? Relax, enjoy, rest!" And if you listen to the mind you will be thrown back. Don't listen to the mind! A seeker should persist and go on making efforts until he finds. But the saying looks against Zen -- it has to be understood, it is not -- because Zen masters say, "Be effortless. Don't make any effort, otherwise you will miss. A slight movement and you have already missed. Be at rest, be totally relaxed, in a letgo, as if you are not, and you will attain." They say, "Seek and you will miss, don't seek and you will find." Jesus' saying looks against Zen. It is not, because as you are you cannot be in a total letgo. Even if you try, even if you relax, activity continues. Zen is not for you as you are, Jesus is for you as you are. And if you follow Jesus, a moment will come when Zen will be for you. When will that moment come? When you have exhausted all your effort, when you have done everything that can be done, when you have come to the last peak of your effort. Now nothing can be done, now there is no more to do; you have put all that you could into it, now nothing is being held back, your whole energy has moved into the effort. And it is not now that you stop, but because the whole energy has moved into the effort, there comes a stop, there comes relaxation. It happens, a letgo happens -- you cannot do it.

OSHO KUNDALINI MEDITATION This “sister meditation” to the OSHO Dynamic is best done at sunset or in the late afternoon. Being fully immersed in the shaking and dancing of the first two stages helps to “melt” the rock-like being, wherever the energy flow has been repressed and blocked. Then that energy can flow, dance and be transformed into bliss and joy. The last two stages enable all this energy to flow vertically, to move upwards into silence. It is a highly effective way of unwinding and letting go at the end of the day. Osho on How to Shake: "If you are doing the Kundalini Meditation, allow the shaking – don't do it! Stand silently, feel it coming, and when your body starts a little trembling, help it, but don't do it! Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it, but don't will it. "If you force, it will become an exercise, a bodily physical exercise. Then the shaking will be there, but just on the surface. It will not penetrate you. You will remain solid, stonelike, rocklike within. You will remain the manipulator, the doer, and the body will only be following. The body is not the question, you are the question. "When I say shake, I mean your solidity, your rocklike being should shake to the very foundations, so it becomes liquid, fluid, melts, flows. And when the rocklike being becomes liquid your body will follow. Then there is no shaker, only shaking; then nobody is doing it, it is simply happening. Then the doer is not. "Enjoy it, but don't will it. And remember, whenever you will a thing you cannot enjoy it. They are reverse, opposites; they never meet. If you will a thing you cannot enjoy it, if you enjoy it you cannot will it." Osho Instructions: The meditation is one hour long, with four stages. First Stage: 15 minutes Be loose and let your whole body shake, feeling the energies moving up from your feet. Let go everywhere and become the shaking. Your eyes may be open or closed. Second Stage: 15 minutes Dance ... any way you feel, and let the whole body move as it wishes. Again, your eyes can be open or closed. Third Stage: 15 minutes Close your eyes and be still, sitting or standing, observing, witnessing, whatever is happening inside and out. Fourth Stage: 15 minutes Keeping your eyes closed, lie down and be still.

@Shubh_5S Is that you ? I think you're a bit nervous !

Jesus said : Whoever finds interpretation of these sayings will not taste death. Reading interpretation is not going to help , words never interpret. Only experience can interpret, only experience can be interpretation.

Feeling can't be forced, all you can do is act totally with awareness. It will be difficult in the beginning, great patience is needed. When, you are walking on a street: try just to walk; do not do anything else. It looks simple: it is not! It looks as if we are all doing it; it is not so! When you are walking, your mind is doing a thousand other things. Move with every step. Just walk. Buddha has said, ”When you are walking, just walk; when you are eating, just eat; when you are listening, just listen.” Be in the act totally; do not allow your mind to move somewhere else. And this is a wonderful experience because suddenly the present will break in. Whatsoever you are doing, go on doing one thing inside continuously: be aware of yourself doing it. You are eating: be aware of yourself. You are walking: be aware of yourself. You are listening, you are speaking: be aware of yourself. When you are angry, be aware that you are angry. In the very moment that anger is there, be aware that you are angry. This constant remembering of the self creates a subtle energy – a very subtle energy in you. You begin to be a crystallized being.

Just to be ordinary is the most extraordinary thing in the world, because everybody wants extraordinary life. Nobody wants ordinary life. To live an ordinary life is most extraordinary thing. Very rarely does somebody relax and becomes ordinary. You can be tremendously at ease with yourself. Cleaning the floor, cooking food, washing the clothes, you can be perfectly at ease--because the whole question is of you doing your action totally, it becomes extraordinary.

On your part great patience is needed, and a trust that the whole existence is in support of all those who are trying to grow spiritually. Remain joyous, wait with great love. Everything takes its own time, impatience makes no sense. Patience is the way of existence. The journey is vast, and you cannot be in a hurry. Subjectivity needs long patience, a waiting. It grows, but not in a hurry. It is not a seasonal flower. You cannot get it and within a month it is flowering. It takes time. If you are in a hurry, if you are in haste, you will never know the taste of meditation. It is not the meditation that is taking time, it is your complex mind. It has to be brought down to a rest, to a relaxed state. When the moment is ripe, it happens. It is not your doing, it is a grace. It is experience of almost everyone. Living an unconscious life you can go on changing from one work to another; it is not going to help. Maybe for few days when the work is new and there is excitement you may feel good. You may again project your illusions, you may again start expecting: ”This time it is going to happen. Maybe it has not happened up to now, but this time it is going to happen.” Again you will be frustrated. Every expectation is bound to bring frustration. So people go on changing their jobs, they go on changing their hobbies, they go on changing their wives, their husbands, they go on changing their religions. They go on changing whatsoever they can change – with the hope that this time something is going to happen. But unless you change, nothing is going to happen. Suppose your meditation ripens after twenty years, your time is not wasted, your life will be fulfilling , it will be a rare achievement, who achieves fulfillment in life? People only pretend that everything is fine, their smiles are fake.

You will never experience being enlightened. How can you experience being enlightened? You are the barrier. And enlightenment is not an experience – because there is no experiencer in it. In experience there is division – the experiencer, the experienced. Between the two exists experience. When the experiencer and the experienced are no more separate, they have melted into each other, when the observer has become the observed, when the knower and the known are no more separate.

Ego is a survival measure. If a child is born without the ego, he will die. He cannot survive, it is impossible, because if he feels hunger he will not feel: I am hungry. He will feel there is hunger, but not related to him. The moment hunger is felt, the child feels: I am hungry, he starts crying and making efforts to be fed. The child grows through the growth of his ego.

What we call 'life' is a gradual suicide, only few people are able to know what life is. That's what Jesus says when he says, "Let the dead bury their dead."

The child grows through the growth of his ego ; and ego is a social need, society, nations cannot exist in present shape without ego.

A man fasts , The whole day body suffers, the hunger is there. So, mind creates dream, you are an honored guest in a great feast, now you a go to sleep. In the morning you will be hungry, but at least the dream helped you to rest and relax. There is deep desire in your subconscious mind to meet your father, it creates dream. The dream helps you to rest and relax.

I didn't talked with my father for thirty years, I was his only son, when he died , it was a great shock to me. Then I realized what I have done, all my spiritual ego was destroyed instantly. Had I tried to understand him when he was alive, loved him, I might not be feeling sorry after his death. I was reading books on spirituality, doing meditation techniques since decades, I was thinking I know everything about meditation but meditation happened after death of my father, shock was so much. First time in my life I realized how meditation happens. Whenever somebody like a father or a mother dies, something in you also dies. A father is not just outside; his being overlaps your being. When a father or mother dies, something in you also dies with them. You will never be the same again — a gap will be there. A father cannot be replaced, a mother cannot be replaced. So rather than crying and feeling sorry — because those are tricks of the mind to avoid death... if you look at death directly in the eye without letting emotions interfere, then death becomes meditation. Your father has died — this is a fact. Now, whether you cry or not makes no difference, so what is the point? Death has happened; you cannot undo it. So, rather than wasting time, look deeply into it, and in the death of your father you will see your own death coming. Look into this death; meditate over it without any interference from the emotions. Face it, and that very encounter will give you a deep understanding of life. The further away you are, the more death will become a memory and you will accept it and then it will not be possible to use it. You are still close to it; it is still fresh — the wound has not healed. Before it is healed, use it. And this wound can become a message to the beyond. Meditate and go beyond I say to you that there is only one thing which death cannot destroy, and that is meditation. Everything is vulnerable to death, only meditation is not.

As soon as you systematize breathing, it loses its capacity to create a strange situation for you.It becomes methodical, it becomes part of his habit. Breathing in dynamic meditation is absolutely non-methodical; it is without any rules; it is absurd. It is a way of creating a feeling of strangeness in you - to put you so out of gear, to put you in such utter confusion and chaos that you cannot put it into order again. If you again create an order in this disorder, your mind - which is so clever - will soon accept it and adjust itself with it. Breathing in any methodological manner will again turn into a system. But it will lose all strangeness about it. The breathing in dynamic meditation is non rhythmic and non-methodical. You cannot repeat it today the way you did it yesterday, because it has no method whatsoever. Not only that you cannot repeat your performance of yesterday - even today you can not end it the way you will begin. It will be what it will be. And its only purpose is to see that your mind's conditioning, its habits, its set patterns are loosened. Osho Dynamic Meditation has five stages, each stage has a purpose, dance and yoga do not include benefits of all five stages.

This meditation is a fast, intense and thorough way to break old, ingrained patterns in the bodymind http://www.osho.com/meditate/active-meditations/dynamic-meditation

You are lucky. Freedom is a higher value than love. When you are happy alone, when you can live with yourself, there is no intrinsic necessity to be in relationship. Relationship is a kind of bondage.

It help in releasing only when I live in isolation, when my mind don't accumulate new garbage.

@username If you begin with sitting, you will feel much disturbance inside. The more you try to just sit, the more disturbance will be felt; you will become aware only of your insane mind and nothing else. It will create depression, you will feel frustrated. You will not feel blissful. If you make a sincere effort to 'just sit,' you may really go insane. Only because people do not really try sincerely does insanity not happen more often.
