Today we are going to start a serialisation of Veena's book: A Seam for the Master. The book is now out of print so, as there may be
some people who would like to read it, we are offering this slightly abridged online version.

|
We start with chapter three where Osho first becomes aware of Veena's sewing skills.

The German Osho Times is going to publish Veena's story about Tamo-San in their next issue and they have found in their archive
this stunning photograph of the moment where Osho showers rose petals on Tamo-San after the meditation.

The Quote: Be Aware – Here and Now
I am not here to give you a dogma. A dogma makes one certain. I am not here to give you any promise for the future - any promise for the future makes one secure.
I know you come here seeking some certainty, some creed, some 'ism', somewhere to belong to, someone to rely upon. You come here out of your fear. You are searching a sort of beautiful imprisonment - so that you can live without any awareness.
I am here simply to make you alert and aware. That is to be herenow - with all the insecurity that life is, with all the uncertainty that life is, with all the danger that life is.
excerpt from Osho, A Sudden Clash of Thunder, Chapter #6 – quote thanks to
mySamasati, the daily Osho quote
The Tiny Meditation: Stop for a moment!
Be aware – even if you can be aware for only a single moment. Be aware that you have become identified with a past which is not your being.
The being is in the present, here and now, and you are identified with something which is not here and now.
Be aware of this. Let this awareness come to you suddenly, anywhere: You are walking on the street – stop for a moment, be suddenly aware.
Anywhere, in any situation, stop for a moment and be suddenly aware where you are – on the periphery or in the center?
Are you identified with the memory or are you not identified with the memory?
In the beginning this can come only for a moment, or not even a moment. There will be just a glimpse for part of a moment.
You will feel it, and it will be gone. But that glimpse will deepen, and there will be a new movement from the periphery to the center – a
movement just like the electron – a jump, a leap from one point to another. The situation will deepen.
Remain aware as much as you can, and use any and every situation.
