    [ 'Rama prem.'  It means love for god, and
    create that love more.... ]

    It is there, it is just like a small drop; it can
    become an ocean, it can become bigger than
    you. And when it is bigger than you and when
    you are drowned in it, you have arrived.

    It is there just like a small drop trickling but it can
    grow: all great rivers arise out of a small drop
    trickling. The ocean is nothing but drops and
    drops and drops. Right now it is a small drop like
    a small seed but it can become a big tree. One
    just has to be a little more careful about it, more
    conscious of it, more protective of it. It can be
    destroyed by carelessness; many people's love
    for god is destroyed by carelessness.

    [A sannyasin tells Osho he is scared of him.]

    Mm! That's very good! That's a good indication.
    When you become scared of me that means you
    are coming close to me! Then only does one
    start feeling as if one will be burned.

    A master is a fire. You come close -- first it is
    warm, then it becomes fiery, but you cannot go
    back because that fire has a great magnetic
    attraction too.

    In fact where can you find a place to die which
    will be better? So be consumed! Let this fire
    consume you... and out of that is the
    resurrection. Out of that you become totally
    new. Out of that you become impregnable,
    invulnerable.

    This is the paradox: you have to be absolutely
    vulnerable to become invulnerable...
