Transformation is never gradual, it is always at once<\/p>\n

Osho : There is a Jaina story: A man came home tired after the whole day\u2019s work. His wife was giving him a bath \u2013 it is an old story, now no wife gives a bath to the husband. His wife was giving him a bath, and while pouring water on his body and cooling his tired limbs, she talked and she said, \u201dMy brother has become a follower of Mahavira, and he is thinking to renounce the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man laughed and said, \u201dThinking? \u2013 then he will never leave the world!\u201d<\/p>\n

The wife felt hurt, because it was a question of HER brother. She said, \u201dWhat do you mean? And I have never seen you going to Mahavira or to Buddha or anybody, and you think you understand?<\/p>\n

He is a great scholar and he understands what Mahavira says. And he meditates, worships, and he is a religious man. And you? I don\u2019t see any religiousness in you. I have never seen you praying or meditating. And you have the courage and you dare to say such a thing \u2013 that he will never renounce?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man stood \u2013 he was naked, taking his bath \u2013 came out of the bath, went onto the street. The wife cried, \u201dAre you crazy? What are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, \u201dI have renounced.\u201d<\/p>\n

He never came back. This is the man \u2013 he understood. He never prepared for it; nobody ever knew about him that he was a religious man, but this quality… He reached to Mahavira, he surrendered himself, he became a naked fakir.<\/p>\n

The wife came, weeping and crying. Even the wife\u2019s brother came to convince him that \u201dThere is no hurry. Look at me! I have been thinking for twenty years. And you are a madman \u2013 is this a way to renounce?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man said, \u201dI don\u2019t bother, is there any other way? For twenty years you have been thinking, for twenty lives you will continue thinking. And whenever you renounce you will renounce this way, because this is the only way \u2013 at once!\u201d<\/p>\n

You see a thing clearly and it happens. The question is of clarity. An immediate look into the nature of things, then there is no question of changing somewhere in the future. No one changes in the future \u2013 transformation is always here and now. This moment is the only moment something can happen. There is no other moment.<\/p>\n
