	1.   The intelligent people of the past were dedicated to finding their inner kingdom — that which cannot be taken away. Nothing can destroy it, fire cannot burn it.   2.   Just being, you feel at the very highest peak of existence. You cannot ask for more, it has already been given to you.   3.   We have just lost the way to our own home.     4.   Finally you have to become so meditative that you don't need to meditate any more — your very being meditation becomes.   5.   Man can become a cloud, passing through all barriers. He can attain to total freedom, where he is not even his body or his mind — where he is pure consciousness, just being.    6.   Don't look backwards, don't look forwards — just close your eyes and look in, and this very moment your wings open and the whole sky becomes available to you.

	Man's mind has become objective and it has forgotten the language of subjectivity. It looks out, and it has looked deeply into the outer world in the form of the different sciences, which have penetrated matter to its innermost being. It has reached to the farthest star, but it has forgotten one basic thing: "Who is within me?"  Now all this knowledge of the objective world is of no value in comparison to having a little glimpse of the inner sky and its beauty — its sunrises and sunsets, its days and nights, its blue sky and its stars. The outer then looks only a pale reflection of the inner. The inner becomes more real and the outer becomes just a shadow.  In the past it was difficult in many ways, but on one single point, the search for consciousness, we are now much lower on the scale.                                                                                                            - Osho
