Discourse 1
Everybody Can Be a Mystic
Everybody Can Be a Mystic
22 November 1987 am in Chuang Tzu Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED OSHO,
IS THERE ANY DEFINITION OF THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE
OTHER THAN SATYAM-SHIVAM SUNDRAM – ”TRUTH,
GODLINESS AND BEAUTY”?
The experience of the ultimate, Maneesha, is always the same. But
the expression can be different. The expression depends on the
mystic; the experience does not depend on him.
The first definition I gave you is the definition by the poetic,
aesthetic, sensitive individual, for whom satya can come – the truth
can come – only as beauty. And truth and beauty create the ultimate
peak of godliness. The poet cannot imagine that beauty will not be
a part of the ultimate unity. His eyes are receptive to beauty. Truth
comes to him and is transformed, in his expression, as beauty.
Beauty is the god of the poet, of the painter, of all creative artists.
So the first definition was the definition from the artistic soul. Most of
the mystics have been poets – not ordinary poets, concerned with
the mundane, but poets of the sacred...
