It’s all GOoD

 In the East we have the story that darkness appeared before God with tears in her eyes and complained against the sun: "I have not done anything against your sun. I am not even acquainted with him, we have never met; still he goes on harassing me. Wherever I go he reaches me sooner or later, and I am constantly on the run. Now I am really tired, and I want you to do something about it. Why is he after me?"

God called the sun and asked him, "Why are you after darkness? What wrong has she done to you?"

The sun said, "Who is darkness? I have never met her. I would like to be introduced."

God looked around to where darkness had been standing but nobody was there. Since then God has been trying to arrange some kind of meeting, a round table conference, some kind of mediation, negotiation. But although all the religions say that God is all powerful, in this case He has failed. He has not been able to bring the light, the sun, in front of darkness; only one appears at a time.

The reason is very simple: darkness has no existence of its own. It is only the absence of light. When the light is present, how can its absence also be there? That absence is possible only when light is absent. This case is going to remain eternally on file, undecided. This story is really significant. It says something about you and bliss.

The ego is nothing but the absence of blissfulness.

The more egoistic a person is, the more in anguish, in suffering, in misery, in darkness he is. His life is nothing but hell.

There is no other hell than to live in the ego.

There is no other heaven than to come out of the ego.

In coming out of the ego you come out of suffering, misery, anguish -- that whole company. And when there is no ego, what remains is blissfulness. 

OSHO

 

Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no identity, it will automatically vanish and Reality will shine forth by Itself. Ramana Maharshi

 

Good is not the opposite of bad. GOoD is a higher dimension that includes the lower one. God is embedded in the virtual reality show the ego has created, yet, is beyond it at the same time, never to be reached by ego which is detracted by mind’s maya. A virtual reality show disappears when the googles are taken off and the light comes into the darkened room. Likewise, the moment the ‘story of self’ ends, it’s suddenly all GOoD.
