Osho's Words
In the east people have condemned the body, condemned matter, called matter "illusory", maya - it does not really exist, it only appears to exist; it is made of the same stuff as dreams are made of. They denied the world, and that is a reason for the East remaining poor, sick, in starvation.
Half of humanity has been accepting the inner world but denying the outer world. The other half of humanity has been accepting the material world and denying the inner world. Both are half, and no man who is half can be contented.
You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in science; rich in meditation, rich in consciousness. Only a whole person is a holy person, according to me.
I want Zorba the Buddha to meet together, Zorba alone in hollow. His dance has not an eternal significance, it is momentary pleasure. Soon he will be tire of it. Unless you have inexhaustible sources, available to you from the cosmos itself...unless you become existential, you cannot become whole.
This is my contribution to humanity, the whole person.
Commentary-Reading
This Dionysian character is a very picture of a whole man, a "Zorba the Buddha" who can drink wine, dance on the beach and sin in the rain, and at the same time enjoy the depths of understanding and wisdom that belong to the sage. In one hand he holds a lotus, showing that he respects and contains within himself the grace of the feminine. His exposed chest (an open heart) and relaxed belly show that he is at home with his masculinity as well, utterly self-contained. The four elements of earth fire, water and sky all conjunct at the King of Rainbows who sits atop the book of wisdom of life.
If you are a woman, the King of Rainbows brings the support of your own male energies into your life, a union with the soul mate within. For a man, this card represent a time of breaking through the conventional male stereotype and allowing the fullness of the whole human being to shine forth.
