Osho: Smoking MEDITATION.

Osho: Smoking MEDITATION.

To me, one person came. He suffered from what is constantly smoked over thirty years, he was sick, and doctors said: "You will never recover if you do not quit." But he was a chronic smoker and could not help myself. He tried to - not that he did not try to - he tried hard, and suffer from it are - but only a day or two, but then again, again, it such a great attraction that it simply sour.

He again fell under habits. Because of this, it lost all the smoking self-esteem: he knew that he would not be able to do and little things: he would not be able to quit smoking. He lost in his eyes all his worth, he thought of himself as a little man in the world. He is not respected. He came to me. He said: "What do I do? How do I quit?" You have to understand. Smoking is now not a matter of your decision. It entered the world of your habits, it is embedded.

Thirty years - big time. It put the roots in your body, your chemistry, it has spread everywhere. Now this is not the issue addressed by your head. Your head can not do anything. Head impotent, that it can then begin, but it will not be able to easily finish. Once you've started, and once you have practiced for so long, you're a great yogi - thirty years of practice smoking! It has become automatic, you have to deavtomatizirovat. He said: "What do you mean by deavtomatizatsiey? And that's the whole meditation - in deavtomatizatsii.

I said: "Do one thing: forget about throwing smoke. In this there is no need. For thirty years you have lived and smoked, of course, it was unhealthy, but you're used to it. And what the difference is that you die a few hours sooner than you would have died if smoked? What are you doing here? What do? So, what's the point - you're going to die on Monday, Tuesday or Sunday, in this or that year - what's the difference? " He said: "Yes it's true, no difference." Then I said: "Forget about it: we are not going to stop.

On the contrary, we are going to understand this. So the next time you do this meditation. "He said:" Meditation from smoking? "I said:" Yes. If people can do Zen meditation of tea, and made it a ceremony, why not? "" Smoking can be as beautiful meditation. "He looked nervous. He said:" What are you talking about? "He is alive, he said:" Meditation? Tell me - I burn from impatience! "I gave him a meditation. I said" Do one thing. When you're getting a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, do so slowly.

Enjoy it, without any haste. Be conscious, alert, and get it slowly, with full awareness. Then Get a pack of cigarettes - with full awareness, slowly, without hurry past, not last bezsoznatelnosti and mehanichnosti. Then postuchite on cigarette pack - but very vigilant. Listen to the sound, just as the Zen people, when beginning to sing and the samovar to boil water for tea ... and to feel the aroma. Then smell the cigarette smell and feel the beauty ... "

He said: "What are you talking about? Beauty?" - "Yes. It is wonderful. Tobacco is as divine as any other. Inhale it, the aroma of God." He looked at me with astonishment. He said: "What?" You kidding? " - "No, I'm not kidding." Even when I kidding, I'm not kidding, I am very serious. "Then you put it in his mouth with the full knowledge, light it with full awareness. Enjoy every action, every small action, and shared it on as many small actions, how can so that you can become more and more aware. Then take the first delay. God is in the form of smoke. Hindus say: "Annam Brahma" - "The food - is God."

Why not smoking? All is God. Deep fill the lungs - this Pranayama. I give you New Yoga for the new century! Then Let the smoke, relax, following the delay - and to do everything very slowly. If you can do this, you will be surprised soon you will see all this nonsense. Not because of what others say that it's silly, not because others say that it is bad. You'll see it. And this vision will not only intellectual. It will come from the whole of your essence, it is the vision of your totality.

And then, one day, if it is dropped - is dropped, if it continues then continues. You do not need to worry about that. "Three months later he came and said:" But it is dropped. "" Now, - I said - try other things. "

That's the secret: deavtomatiziruytes. Walk, walk slowly and carefully. Look, look carefully - and you'll see the trees - more green than they had ever been, and pink roses more than were ever before. Listen! Who is said gossip - listen, listen carefully. When you say - speak carefully. Let all your deavtomatiziruetsya their new activity.
