three quotes from Tao: The Pathless Path, Chapter One
A collection of quotes from Chapter One: Who Is Truly Happy? of “Tao: The Pathless Path” by Osho
The man who talks about God has not known God: otherwise why should he “talk about”? The “about” shows his ignorance. When a man talks God he has experienced. Then God is not a theory to be proved, disproved, no: the God is his very life - to be lived.
The way is not like a super highway; the way is more like a bird flying in the sky - it leaves no markers behind. The bird has flown hit no marks are left; nobody can follow. So the way is a pathless path. It is a path, but it is a pathless path. It is not ready-made, available; you cannot just decide to walk on it, you will have to find it. And you will have to find it in your own way; nobody else’s way is going to function.
Christianity, Hinduism, Mohammedanism, are super highways; you need not risk anything, you simply follow the crowd, you go with the mob. With Tao you have to go alone, you have to be alone. Tao respects the individual and not the society. Tao respects the unique and not the crowd.
