When a child is born he has no language. He doesn’t come with any scripture, any religion, any caste or any nation, he arrives as an emptiness. The sacredness of emptiness is unique – emptiness is the only virginity, the rest is all perversion. The child arrives like a fresh flower, without even a scratch on his consciousness. He doesn’t know anything. But the child’s capacity to know is pure. He is like a mirror where nothing is yet reflected but the mirroring capacity is total and pure. Later on there will be many reflections; his knowledge will increase, but the capacity to know will go on decreasing – because the emptiness will become full of words, the emptiness will cease to exist. It is as if the reflections in the mirror go on sticking to it and don’t disappear. Then the mirror’s capacity to reflect will go on decreasing. A child is born; he doesn’t know anything, but his capacity to know is pure... – Osho The Song of Ecstasy, ch. 1 |
