| ...Looks impossible, but things that look impossible by and by become possible. It was impossible for man to fly; nobody ever believed. The Wright brothers were thought to be mad, insane. When they first invented their first airplane, they were so afraid to tell people – that if they come to know they will be caught and hospitalized. The first flight was done completely unknown to anybody – just these two brothers. And they invented their first airplane hiding in a basement, so nobody comes to know what they are doing. Everybody had believed that they had gone completely mad – who has ever flown? Their first air flight was only six seconds – only of sixty seconds – but it tremendously changed the whole of history, the whole of humanity. It became possible. Nobody had ever thought that the atom could be split. It was split, and now man can never be the same again... --Osho Yoga: The Alpha and the Omega, Vol. 9, ch. 1 |
