This earth symbolizes
all that has been condemned,
and that heaven,
all that has been desired.
But I don't divide;
to me, both are one.
And the day will soon come for you too
when you will be able to see that
"this" is pregnant with "that."
this world is just a womb for the divine;
the earthly is just a cover,
a protective cover, for the unearthly.
The seed, the cell of the seed,
is not against the tree,
it is a protection.
Matter is just a protection
for the Divine.
Love "this" and love it so deeply
that your love transcends
"this" and reaches "that."
That's what I mean:
roots into this earth,
and wings into that heaven.
OSHO
