    Hindu mystic that Osho talks about in this
    book:

    Shiva

    1. JUST AS YOU HAVE THE IMPULSE TO DO
    SOMETHING, STOP.

    2. WHEN SOME DESIRE COMES, CONSIDER
    IT. THEN, SUDDENLY, QUIT IT.

    3. ROAM ABOUT UNTIL EXHAUSTED AND
    THEN, DROPPING TO THE GROUND, IN THIS
    DROPPING BE WHOLE.

    Life has two balances: one is of being and the
    other of doing. Your being is your nature. It is
    with you always; you have not to do anything to
    get it. It is already the case, you are it. It is not
    that you possess it, not even that a distance
    exists between you and it -- you are it. You are
    your being. Doing is an achievement.

    Whatsoever you do is not already the case. If
    you do it, it will happen; if you do not do it, it will
    not happen. All that is not already the case is
    not your being.

    To exist, to survive, you have to do much. And
    then, by and by, your activity becomes a barrier
    to knowing your being. Your activity is your
    circumference -- you live on it, you cannot live
    without it. But it is only the circumference; it is
    not you, it is not the center. Whatsoever you
    have is the achievement of your doing; having
    is the result of doing. But the center is
    surrounded, engulfed by your doing and your
    having.

    The first thing to note before we proceed into
    these techniques is that whatsoever you have
    is not your being, and whatsoever you do or
    can do is not your being. Your being precedes
    all doing. Your being precedes all your
    possessions, all your having...
