Osho, in the Orange Book

(The Meditation Techniques of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)


*** Waiting for the Sunrise ***

Just fifteen minutes before the sun rises, when the sky is becoming
a little lighter, just wait and watch as one waits for a beloved:
so tense and exited - yet silent. And just let the sun rise and
go on watching. No need to stare, you can blink your eyes. Have the
feeling that simultaneously something is rising.

When the sun comes on the horizon, start feeling that it is just near
the navel. It comes up over there; and here, inside the navel, it
comes up, comes up slowly. The sun is rising there, and here another
point of light is rising. Just ten minutes will do. Then close your
eyes. When you first see the sun with open eyes it creates a negative,
so when you close your eyes, you can see the sun dazzling inside.

And this is going to change you tremendously.


*** Praise for the Rising Sun ***

Get up at five o'clock before the sunrise and for half an hour just sing,
hum, moan, groan. These sounds need not be meaningful. You should enjoy
them, that's all - that is the meaning. You should sway. Let it be a
praise for the rising sun and stop only when the sun has risen.

That will keep a certain rhythm in you the whole day. You will be attuned
from the very morning and you will see that the day has a different quality;
you are more loving, more caring, more compassionate, more friendly -
less violent, less angry, less ambitious, less egoistic.

(my translation:)

'The sun sends his light and warmth throughout the universe and he does
not worry about knowing who profits, who is exposed to his rays, nor who
has slept in the caves!... He does not want to know, it does not interest
him he is not vexed nor furious when people aren't exposed to his rays.
And like the sun, there exists Initiates that send their light and love
into the cosmos, and they neither, do not préoccupy themselves in knowing
if creatures are benefiting or not. They feel happy, fulfilled, all their
pleasure is in the distribution of their riches into the whole universe.
There is no greaet pleasure than that of the sun that is feeling and living.'

"Le soleil envoie sa lumière et sa chaleur à travers l'univers mais il ne
s'inquiète pas de savoir qui en profite, qui s'est exposé à ses rayons,
ou qui a dormi dans les caves!... Il ne veut pas le savoir, ça ne
l'intéresse pas, il n'est ni vexé ni furieux que les gens ne soient pas
exposés à ses rayons. Et comme le soleil, il existe des Initiés qui
envoient leur lumière et leur amour à travers le cosmos, et eux non plus
ne se préoccupent pas de savoir si les créatures en bénéficient ou non.
Il se sentent heureux, comblés, tout leur plaisir est de distribuer leurs
richesses dans l'univers entier. Il n'y a pas de bonheur plus grand que
celui que le soleil est en train de sentir et de vivre."

'The sun is the most intelligent being. And is your are astounded by what I
tell you about him, it's that you have considered him as an inert body.
Whereas I, who consideres him a living being, he instructs me. That is the
truth and one day the whole world shall come to know him.'

"Le soleil est l'être le plus intelligent. Et si vous êtes étonnés de ce que
je vous dis à son sujet, c'est que vous l'avez considéré comme un corps mort.
Tandis que moi, qui le considère comme un être vivant, il m'instruit. Voilà
la vérité et un jour le monde entier arrivera à le connaître."
