The Movie OSHO 1979

4 February 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu AuditoriumAnand means bliss, tim is a short form of Timotheus. It is a Greek name; it means worshipping god,honouring god. And bliss is possible only if you become related with the existence in a personal way. That's what the word 'god' implies -- a personal relationship with existence.The person who does not believe in god does believe in existence but there is no personal bridge,there is no love affair. He cannot address existence as thou; existence remains 'it' -- dead.Love is not poured on it, worship does not arise. And without love, without worship, you are bound to live in a dead existence. To live in a dead existence is to live in a dead way, because if you are surrounded by this immense existence which is not alive, which has no soul to it, how can you have a soul? The 'I' arises only when in deep love you have called somebody 'thou'. Thou is first, I is second. This is corroborated by modern psychology too, that the idea of thou arises first in the child's consciousness, and only later on comes the idea of I, as a by-product of thou.The person who has never been in love is not really a self. He has never looked in the mirror of love: how can he see his face? He has never called somebody with tremendous joy. He will remain asleep himselfEven in ordinary love affairs you become awakened: life starts burning in an intense way, you start vibrating, you have a new flair, there is a new gust, a new wind. So what to say about when a person falls in love with the whole existence?And that's what sannyas is all about -- falling in love with the whole existence, being able to call the existence thou in a personal way, being able to address existence, being able to write love letters to existence, being able to be in a dialogue.
And that is the basic meaning of Timotheus. Tim is a short form of it.
Become a blissful worshipper!
