Milarepa Heart Quotations

Osho knows my heart. And he knows the hearts of everyone of his musicians, of each of his people in fact.

In the monastery of your heart, you have a temple where all Buddhas unite.

Expressing one's creativity in the service of meditation, you help create a special space where hearts can open and people can receive the many blessings. For a musician, a creator, this is ultimately fulfilling.

Seeing [Osho] laugh would just melt my heart. I would ask him things like "Beloved Master, are you just pulling my big toe?" and he would laugh and then proceed to give the most amazing answer, one that always seemed to perfectly suit the occasion. And at the same time find its mark in me!

One day Nivedano, Osho's beloved drummer, walked up and said: "Hey man! Did you hear? Last night your master was talking about you again!" . I could see Nivedano was thrilled. Whenever someone in the Commune got a little extra nod from Osho, it would spread to every heart like wildfire and everyone would enjoy by association. Such was the intimacy of the Commune. At first, I thought Nivedano was just teasing, but my heart told me otherwise. I knew something amazing in the life of a disciple was happening, again. The master had smiled at me.

The ecstasy of celebration was rising higher everyday as, in retrospect, the master was preparing to leave his body. The intensity in fact was often overwhelming. I remember sometimes feeling inadequate with just my guitar and songs to offer and expressed this in a question Osho answered on Enlightenment Day, March 21, 1987. He seemed surprised and responded that the offerings of the heart are more valuable than any mundane thing the world has to offer and that I should understand this.
