To find oneself is to find all. Then there is nothing missing, then there is no question left.

Then for the first time you have the answer. Although you cannot convey the answer to anybody else, you can convey the way you found it. That's what the function of a Master is. He does not give you the answer. He does not make you more knowledgeable. He simply shows you the method, how he found himself. He encourages you to take a jump into your chaos, into your agony. The Master is simply a proof that you don't need to be afraid. If this man can find his center, passing through all the agony, there is no reason why you cannot do it too. And once you know the taste of ecstasy, your whole life, for the first time, has something that can be called godliness. A new quality arises in you, a new flare, a new flame. But that is our nature, everybody's nature. I have never tried in my life to become anybody. I have simply allowed life to take me wherever it wanted. One thing I can say to you, I have not been a loser; it was a great joy to be taken over by nature. I have not at all interfered. I have not even been swimming, because in swimming you are at least throwing your hands about. I have been just going with the stream, floating with wherever the stream is going. Fortunately all streams reach finally to the ocean. The small, the big, somehow or other they all find their way to the oceanic. And the oceanic feeling I call the religious feeling. When your small drop drops into the ocean .... In one sense you are no more. In one sense you are for the first time. On one hand there is death, and on the other hand there is rebirth." OSHO, From Darkness to Light, Chapter #8 - March 1985
