Let
Go of the Flesh
“As long as you hold onto wealth,
someone is bound to be your enemy; as long as you hold onto your flesh others
will not leave you in peace. In truth
there are no enemies, only you catch hold of the wrong things. Whenever you grasp hold of something, even
your friend will seem an enemy.” – Osho “The True Name” pg. 478
My time on YouTube was my flesh; I had
no peace back then. I was constantly
battling and fighting, not just with the online community, but with my students
and my family. I created many enemies
because I was holding onto the wrong things.
I lost hold of my spirituality. I
didn’t make any time to read and write, I was all focused on the material world
and forgot about my spiritual development and meditation. I was heading towards the wrong path and leading
others towards the wrong path. It came
to an end for a reason. Now I am in much
greater peace, my students are in greater peace, and my family is in greater
peace. I have refocused my energies on
my spiritual development. I am reading
everyday, I am writing everyday, I am working on developing myself to be better
in meditation. Things are going in a
great direction and I am thankful for these life experiences.
Honestly, I am falling behind spiritually. I have not been reading Osho books for a long time. I believe that I have become more racist because of that. When I was talking to you on the phone, I feel like I was always pointing fingers at "white people" a lot. Even when i do not even talk about it, the white people concept is still on my mind and I do not want to keep holding on to it. Maybe I should spend more time bettering myself in meditation. Thank you for reminding me about that.
