| Just the other night I was reading a sentence from Baudelaire. It is simply, unbelievably true. Baudelaire says, ‘The truth is; the truth is beautiful; the truth is good; the truth is God. I believe in it. That's why I am going to oppose it.' From where does this opposition come? Baudelaire says, ‘If I don't oppose it, then I will not be. I have to say no; only then can I be.' Otherwise, truth is overpowering: it envelops you, it surrounds you. You simply disappear in it, you melt into it... --Osho Come Follow to You, Vol. 4, ch. |
