The Mysterious One – Key Points from Osho’s Discourse

• Rinzai’s Teaching:

  • True freedom—independence from birth and death—comes from recognizing the one who is listening within you.

  • This inner listener has no form, shape, roots, branches, or fixed abode.

  • It acts spontaneously according to circumstances and cannot be grasped or sought. Searching or longing for it makes it flee or oppose you.

  • Hence, it is called “the mysterious one.”

• On Thoughts and Distractions:

  • Thoughts—love, anger, doubt, joy—are obstructions to inner space, taking one away from settled peace.

  • The four elements (earth, water, fire, wind) are like a dream; understanding this allows you to act freely without being affected by external conditions.

  • True freedom arises when you transcend attachment to thoughts and elements.

• Listening as the Path:

  • The emphasis is not on what is being said but on who is listening within you.

  • Listening deeply—through silence, heart, and being—transforms the self.

  • The whole universe communicates the Dharma; meditation is the art of total listening.

• Transcending Forms:

  • Human dignity: the ability to either continue the cycle of birth and death or merge into universal consciousness, transcending individuality.

  • The enlightened person no longer reincarnates, having realized freedom.

• Consciousness and the Buddha Within:

  • The inner Buddha or consciousness is complete and perfect in itself.

  • Nothing you do—positive or negative—affects it; you can only recognize it through awareness.

  • Consciousness arises naturally when one is present, aware, and silent.

• Living from Inner Freedom:

  • Remaining apart, a witness, awakens the Buddha within and gives mastery over existence.

  • Life becomes graceful, poetic, and effortless, as creativity and beauty arise spontaneously from inner silence.

  • You are already complete; no improvement, effort, or search is required.

• Summary of the Mystery:

  • Do not seek, desire, or long. Just be at ease.

  • The “mysterious one” is always present; awareness allows one to experience freedom and the eternal now.

  • Being conscious connects you to your innermost self; unconsciousness makes you forget it.

If you want, I can also make an ultra-short version that fits on a single page as a quick meditation reminder. It would read like a guide to internalizing Rinzai and Osho’s teaching.

Do you want me to do that?
