THE ETERNAL MESSAGE
( A collection of thirty immortal letters written by Osho to Ma Yoga Bhakti, NY, U.S.A.)
 
 
Letter: 14/The Mind Dies with Total Acceptance
 
 

        beloved bhakti,

    Love. Total acceptance of existence is impossible for the
mind.
    Because the mind exists as denial.
    It exists with the NO.
    And with a total YES it dies.
    So it continues to find reason to say NO--even if there are
no reasons.

    Walking with a disciple one day, Mulla Nasrudin saw for
the first time in his life a beautiful lakeland scene.
    "What a delight!" he exclaimed. "But if only, if only..."
    "If only what, Master?" asked the disciple.
    "If only they had not put water into it!"
