| I remember
coming out of satori just feeling at home with myself . The process itself had
without a doubt given me a direct experience with myself, and had brought me to
a space in which I felt comfortable watching whatever was happening through me.
I experienced many moments of understanding, and touched a quality of love,
awareness and silence within that I had only experienced as glimpses before. It
is aprocess of breaking through illusions, and yet despite my experiences, I
still held on to the idea that I had something to do / somewhere to go to reach
my awakening ... I guess I was not ready to accept the ease of being at home
... in other words, in satori, you are, nothing else is happening but your
absolute awareness of what is going on every second of every moment of the day.
The truth is that this is all there is: the awareness of life happening through
being. The obviousness of it is clear to me now, and looking back on the
quality of the process of satori, and in fact my entire life, I wonder how I
could have missed it!! Kaveesha, Quebec, Canada

People keep
asking me why I participate in every satori group that happens After all it is
"hard" work, you get up very early in the morning, you sit all day, even have
to do Mandala meditation, have no free time whatsoever and most of all , no
free will to do what you like to do.
Well, no "free will" is the blessing. Because what else is our "free will" than
the ego, the manipulating mind. How free is the dewdrop when it can say: "I am
a dewdrop and I am not the ocean" How free are we when we say" I want to be
free" As long as the "I' is there, all there is is ego, (mind , personality ,
inner child or whatever you want to call it) I love the satori process simply
because in satori seekers who really want to find, find. It is as simple as
that. If you are ready to die and seek with all the intensity that you can
possibly gather, you find. And it is not a question of old seekers or young
ones. Of course it helps if you have been peeling the onion for many years ,
but in every Satori group I see new people , young people, with a real thirst
for truth , with a burning question of "Who am I?" ,finding that "I" For a
moment may be, but finding it. And once found, you can never again say that you
do not know who you are, you may be able to forget, you may want to run away
from it again because it means death to the ego. but you can no longer say that
you are looking for the house of God because you know that you are god and that
your body is it's temporary house.
For me Satori is
the ultimate expression of Osho's vision of therapy being a bridge to
meditation. Satori with it's structure and process goes beyond therapy and
reveals the essence of meditation, of being in the moment - of no-mind. No
group has ever made such a lasting impression on my being as Satori. Through
Satori I have had glimpses of "who I am", and through this understanding, my
understanding, trust and love for Osho has deepened immensely.
