Your self-respect makes it possible for you to respect everyone as he is…OSHO

Sannyas has to be a real break away. A loving surrender to the new....

Your self-respect makes it possible for you to respect everyone as he is...

 

You love me and out of that love arises your action.  How can it be negative?

I love you. You know it, you feel it — how can you act in any negative way?

Then to be positive needs no effort. You simply are positive and nobody has told you.

 

So when I say I am against organization, my meaning is that humanity has lived in the form of organization — the hierarchy, the bureaucracy — and all those efforts have led nowhere except into more and more misery.

 

I am giving an alternative for everything. Organization has to be replaced by an organism. The commune has to be an organism. I am working on that way and is happening. It will take a little time for people to start feeling themselves that something strange is happening: they are functioning in tune, they are feeling responsible. Nobody is holding them responsible, nobody will condemn them for not being responsible, but suddenly they feel that's how life is more joyful, that's how life is more loving, that's how all misery, sadness, darkness, disappears.

 

And that's how you become respectable, not in others' eyes, but even in your own eyes. A tremendous self-respect arises, and you are not higher and nobody is lower than you. Your self-respect makes it possible for you to respect everyone as he is.
