An excerpt from Osho's "The Revolution"

  There is a subtle law that keeps everything in balance. Kabir says: Sense it. He does not say beleive in it; belief is a theology. Sense it, feel it, be open to it. Look all around and you will find God's signature everywhere.

  

  The bird starts making its nest before the time comes when it will be laying the eggs. And the bird is unaware of what is happening. Somebody is guiding. Call it nature; if the word "God" offends you call it nature - it doesn't make much difference, it is the same. but one thing is certain; things are taken care of.

 

  Then why this impatience, why this planning? Then why this hurry, then why this worry? Be patient. Wait, trust, sense - those invisible hands are all around.

   

   Kabir says: If you are a logician then just think - is it logical that only man is an orphan and everything has a mother to look after it? Why should man be an orphan? The universal mother is your mother too. You are not strangers here, this is your home. You are as part of it as trees and stars. In fact, you are the most valuable part of existence. Through you God has for the first time become conscious. Through you God is doing something like a miracle, through you God is creating the greatest flowering. How can you be an orphan?

  

   The athiest is one who thinks he is an orphan. And the religious person is one who trusts that he is not an orphan - he senses some hands.   

  

   Kabir says: God has not gone away from you. God is still standing there - only you have gone away from him. You are keeping your back to God. You have taken a very absurd notion: the ego. You have started thinking that you are seperate from existence; that's where the fundamental fallacy is. You think you are seperate from existence, that you have to prove yourself, that you have to attain something, that you have to do something. You think you are seperate! A wave thinking itself seperate from the ocean will go mad, a leaf thinking itself seperate from the tree will go mad. That's what has happened to man.

  

   You are not seperate, you cannot be seperate. Not for a single moment can you live without being in God. Even when you deny God, God goes on showering life into you, God goes on breathing in you. God is your life.
