Path towards God is Inwards<\/p>\n

Osho : A Sufi story says:<\/p>\n

A man has purchased a cow, and he was not accustomed to dealing with cows. So he was trying to drag the cow along holding the cow\u2019s horns, and the cow was very resistant \u2013 obviously, this man was new. She wanted to go to her home, she wanted to go to her old owner.<\/p>\n

A Sufi mystic was watching. He said to the man, \u201dIt seems you are very new; you don\u2019t know how to deal with cows. This is not the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man said, \u201dWhat should I do, because I am not that strong. The cow is stronger; she is dragging me with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mystic gave him some beautiful green grass, and told him, \u201dLeave her horns. You take this grass and just move ahead of her. Keep the grass very close, but don\u2019t allow her to eat it. As she moves towards the grass, you go on moving towards your home.\u201d And it worked.<\/p>\n

The cow came because the grass was so close and so green and so fresh. She forgot all about the owner; the immediate problem was how to get this grass. And it is so close, just hanging in front of your eyes. But the man went on moving slowly, the distance between the cow and the grass remained the same. And she entered into the house of the new owner, and he closed the door. Religions have been hanging carrots in front of you. Those hopes are never fulfilled, they are hopeless, those promises are empty.<\/p>\n

When I destroy your hopes and your expectations and your ideas of God and your relationship with the world, naturally there is bound to be a small gap before you choose the right path. And the right path is not the existentialism of the West. The right path is the meditation that the East has been using for centuries and has worked out completely into a science. You move inwards.<\/p>\n
