Osho krishna book5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It is from a situation of happiness that Buddha and Mahavira came to sannyas, it is true, but renunciation remains their stance: they renounce the world they leave it. Happiness is the beginning of bliss bliss is the climax of happiness. ![]() For Krishna, happiness contains some rudiments of bliss: one can have a little glimpse of bliss even in happiness. Bliss, according to Krishna, is not opposed to the happiness of this world: it is the highest rhythm of the same music, the same dance. He does not see any contradiction between the two kinds of happiness: the higher happiness is only the extension of the lower. Krishna does not renounce this happiness for the sake of some greater happiness rather, he uses it as a stepping-stone to reach the other happiness we call bliss. So in this matter there is a difference between them and Krishna. They left this happiness in search of some higher kind of happiness. Their sannyas flowed from a condition of happiness. I don’t say that the sannyas of Mahavira and Buddha arose from suffering. And if I renounce it, then also, in a negative sense, it has meaning for me, because I think I will suffer if I don’t give it up. If I cling to a thing, it means it has meaning for me. ![]()
