You need to ‘factory reset’ yourself.

You are a Buddha, by default. You need just to ‘factory reset’ yourself.

My English is poor, pronunciation is further ahead of it. Still I write so that you may get a glimpse towards which I am pointing to, like it happens when you ask a stranger in non-English speaking country about something and he or she tries to explain it. If you are thirsty of this knowledge, so you get it too. The consciousness plays an important role in communicating the point at much higher level where we all are connected because I am writing only from my own experiences or understanding.

You may prefer to listen, in US English, to this post from my podcast at Overcast — Philosia (दर्शन) or on podcast Castbox — Philosia (दर्शन) or on Podcast at Spotify — Philosia (दर्शन) etc. It is a web version, no app needed.

I have encountered many problems while using my phone due to wrong settings.

Neither I am an IT professional nor I know much about computers or even apps. That you can easily understand because only recently I learned use of hyperlinks in my posts.

But I have tremendous zeal to ‘best use’ my smart phone. How I can lag behind all others?

So I keep opening different setting options and using my limited vocabulary I try to guess the effects of settings.

This way sometimes the phone’s look etc sometimes improved, but most of the time I could not even decipher the change.

The problem begins when I am unable to upload a photo, or in using my internet itself!

Thank God there are many people who have posted YouTube videos or blogs to rectify those common issues.

Sometimes the change is so deep that only an experienced technician could only understand where the fault lies behind it.

With respect to change in settings of Apps, such problems created really a great mess. The only option the IT professionals suggests is to use ‘reset to factory settings’ and reinstall all the Apps again.

Today I realised that in my own personal life also similar events occurred. In the process of becoming better than others, during adolescent age in a hurry, the changes I have brought in myself lead to more problems in my life.

My body (in example Phone) is different not only in features but also the circumstances ( Apps in phone) in which I was raised made me an altogether unique person in this world.

I should not complain about my body or circumstances in which I have grown, it is like complaining phone for all the hiccups due to its settings that I did.

So there is no need to compete, instead what I should have tried is being a better version of myself everyday! What Baul Mystics call search or attain to ‘Adhaar Manush’ or ‘The original face’ or ‘Philosia’ or ‘Satori’ in spiritual journey of a human being means the same state as we get in the phone when we do ‘resetting the phone to factory settings’. On being asked the quality of man who will be able to enter the Kingdom of God, Jesus replied, “Those who will be ‘like’ child could only be able to enter my Kingdom of God. This becoming like a child again is ‘factory reset’ of a human being. The settings we changed in phone may not cost us our life, but the settings we have mistakenly changed in our life may cost us many lives to ‘factory reset’ it.

What I am saying by ‘it may take lives to “factory reset” yourself’ is not that it takes that much time if everything is messed by us. No! It depends upon your yearning to see your ‘Original face’, it can happen here and now. Due to such mess you keep on taking birth among those people that it will take many lives to know about ‘factory resetting’ as the remedy to come out of such mess.

Awareness meditation came as a remedy for me, and because it is so simple that for most of the people it may become like a ‘H1’ CD, that contains all the drivers in 90’s India. Before factory reset this was the only option.

One event happened in my life acted like ‘damaging the screen of phone’. Now to repair or change the screen I need to take a backup of the phone and unwillingly ‘factory reset’ the phone. There was no such plan or information with me!

Now people around me say that you have changed dramatically, it was not expected by them. But the credit goes to that event. However I was trying my best to progress in my spiritual journey but it was really a lukewarm effort in real sense. But it seems to me that my dedication helped me to take right decision after that event. Instead of throwing responsibility on others, I took it as challenge to modify myself so that such event could never occur again in my life. This is how ‘the flow’ -as Osho says works.

So you just need to begin, and with full dedication keep practising it. The season comes and the grass grows by itself green.

An enlightened master, Osho, or Jesus, or Buddha is (and You after ‘factory reset’ will) acts like a mobile with Quantum processor. My post on Qubit state of human being both at a time. For more about how and what of it.

They are able to ‘factory reset’ the moment they stop interacting with outer world, and all necessary apps immediately gets installed with their settings the moment they interact with the outer world.

So being in the world, the Buddha is not affected by the world like a drop of water on the Lotus leaf. This is actually right way to live and enjoy life as a human being on this planet. Only such persons can practically feel oneness with all.

The death always happen in present, and the Buddha is already in present too. So death becomes just another play for them.

Awareness meditation is the way worked for me, may be you too find it suitable otherwise Dynamic meditation is for most of the people. There are 110 other meditation techniques discovered by Indian Mystic Gorakhnath about 500years before and further modified by Osho that one can experiment and the suitable one could be practiced in routine life.

Osho International Online (OIO) provides facility to learn these from your home,

1. through Osho Meditation Day @€20.00 per person. OIO rotate times through three timezones NY,Berlin and Mumbai. You can prebook according to the convenient time for you.

2. There is OSHO Evening Meeting streaming which can be accessed every day at local time starting 6:40 pm (of which Osho says that he wants his people to view it all over the world and these days it is possible) and 16 of the meditations mostly with video instructions and so much more on OSHO.com/meditate.

3. There is a 7 days Free Trial also for people who would like to first try it out.

This is an opportunity for learning and knowing Osho through these sannyasins who lived in his presence and brought to life his words in best possible quality in all formats.

Disciples of Jesus left him alone in last minutes but Osho’s disciples remained with him till he left his body willingly after working, till last day, for all of us to get enlightened. Jesus tried hard till last minute, before being caught, to teach meditation to his disciples. As per Saint John’s Gospel:- Jesus used word ‘Sit’ to transfer his meditative energy to them and went on to pray God, but on returning he found them sleeping. He tried two times again but in vain.

Even today Zen people use word ‘Sit’ for meditation in their saying ‘Sit silently, do nothing, season comes and the grass grows by itself green’.
