	Gallery 1 A Dewdrop on the Lotus Leaf
	One-line abstracts / of science news reports / to flummox your mind / and generate a chaotic flux / of yearning / in your non-existent soul. / And from amidst that chaos / emerge a few beautiful sutras / elucidating the science of the soul. / Yes, the soul does exist, / and only it exists! / That is the whole point.

	1.   One has just to be silent. In utter silence, there is nothing but song, a song without sound and a dance without movement.   2.   Unless you lose your life, the taste of universal life you cannot have.   3.   Unless you drop all the defenses between you and existence, you will remain a dewdrop, you cannot know what it is to be the ocean.   4.   You remain a dewdrop on the lotus leaf; but just take a jump, and below the lotus leaf is the ocean.   5.   Once you are in the ocean, certainly you will not be yourself, become the whole ocean you will.   6.   Unless you lose your head, you cannot find your heart.

	You are buddhas asleep. The buddha asleep is called bodhisattva — buddha in essence, buddha in the seed. Let the seed disappear in the soil, let the rains come, and green leaves will sprout and flowers will blossom. There is no distinction. Everybody is either awake or asleep.  That's why I call you all buddhas. What does it matter if somebody wakes up today, somebody woke up yesterday, and somebody is waiting for tomorrow? The buddhahood is there whether you are asleep or awake. We will go on trying, pulling your leg, hitting on your head. In every device the essential part is to make you awake, really awake, a pillar of consciousness.                                                                                                           - Osho
