Quote by Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain], Osho
You are just now, here, neither coming nor going. Everything passes by you; your consciousness reflects it but it does not get identified. When a lion roars in front of a mirror, do you think the mirror roars? Or when the lion is gone and a child comes dancing, the mirror completely forgets about the lion and starts dancing with the child--do you think the mirror dances with the child? The mirror does nothing, it simply reflects. Your consciousness is only a mirror. Neither do you come, nor do you go. Things come and go. You become young, you become old; you are alive, you are dead. All these states are simply reflections in an eternal pool of consciousness.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the idea that human consciousness is not separate from the experiences and phenomena of the world. It suggests that we are like a mirror, simply reflecting whatever is happening in the present moment. Just as a mirror doesn't roar when a lion roars in front of it nor dance with a child when the lion is gone, our consciousness remains unchanged by these passing events. We are not defined by our experiences, but rather, they are like reflections in the eternal pool of consciousness. Our consciousness is timeless and unaffected by the constant flux of life.
