A Cup of Tea A beautifully bound collection of 365 letters written by Osho to his disciples and friends, during the time he was traveling in India from the 1950’s through the early 1970’s in the unique poetry of a mystic: “Man goes on dreaming and desiring but basically remains where he is; and in the end nothing but ashes of his dreams and desires are in his hands – and, of course, tears in his eyes.”

Love. It is a long time since I received your letter. I am happy that you long for peace -- but drop this idea that you are way behind. Nobody is lagging behind. It is just a matter of turning in -- and the drop becomes the ocean. Actually the drop IS the ocean but it does not know it -- that is the only separation. In the emptiness of meditation even this separation goes. Meditation is the centre of life's sadhana. The thought process will slow down and in its place will come peace and emptiness. When thoughts vanish the seer, the witness, becomes visible and the complex of the unconscious disappears. This complex is the cause of bondage. In the beginning it appears as hard as stone but the seeker who practises patiently finds one day that it was just a dream, a puff of air. May the seed of your meditation blossom into the flower of SAMADHI! My kind regards to all.

Love. I received your letter. Its poetry filled my heart. It is said that poetry is born out of love in your letter I saw this happen. Where there is love the whole existence becomes a poem; the flowers of life bloom under the light of love. It is strange that you ask why my heart holds so much love for you. Can love ever be caused? If it is, can it be called love? Oh, my mad friend! love is always uncaused! This is its mystery, and its purity. Love is divine and belongs to the kingdom of God because it is uncaused. As for me l am filled with love as a lamp is filled with light. To see this light one needs eyes. You have those eyes so you saw the light. The credit is yours, not mine.
