BEING ON PAST AND FUTURE DISTORTS THE VISION AND TAKE AWAY FREEDOM.''OSHO''

BELOVED BHAGWAN,YOU SAID IN AN INTERVIEW LAST WEEK OR THE WEEK BEFORE THAT WHEN YOU DIE YOU WANTED TO BE FORGOTTEN AS AN (INAUDIBLE).
DID YOU REALLY SAY THAT?

That's true. That simply means my whole approach to life is that the past should not be a

the burden on the present.

The past is like dust covering a mirror. It distorts the vision and it becomes

heavier and heavier and does not allow you to live in freedom in the present and

the same is true about the future.

If you think too much of the future while you are thinking of the future the

present is slipping by from your hands which is the only reality.

If this is my approach about others, that the past should be forgotten, I don't

want to be a burden for anybody in the future, because then I will be a past. I

would like to be forgotten completely as if I had never been here. Just the way a

bird flies in the sky and leaves no footprints in the sky, I would like to disappear

like those footprints. So that I am no more a burden on anybody.

This is simply part of my philosophy and the very logical conclusion of it.
