We are weak! It is just natural...~OSHO~

[A sannyasin says:...my heart is opening up. I feel very weak and defenseless, vulnerable.
I find it hard to maintain being vulnerable and being open because I don’t know what’s happening to me.]
I think you have some attitude of rejection towards your weakness. You don’t want to be weak, you don’t want to show your weakness. You want to show strength,you want
to be a strong man.
That deep desire is creating the trouble but that desire is just an ego desire.
We are weak! It is just natural: we are born one day and we will be dying another day – how can we be very strong?
And existence in the body is very precarious. Any moment just a little more oxygen,or a little less oxygen, and you are gone! A little less sugar in the blood and you are gone... a little disfunctioning in the brain and you are gone! So how can one be strong?
Life exists in vulnerability... it exists in danger, insecurity. There is no security and there cannot be.
Security is only for dead people. They are very strong. Can you kill a dead man? –you cannot.
Can you destroy a dead man? – you cannot; he is very strong.
The higher the quality of life, the weaker...
Look at a roseflower, look at a poem, look at a song,look at this music [from the ashram’s music group which can be heard in the distance] – it vibrates for a second and it is gone!
Look at love: one moment it is there, next moment it is not. Look at meditation....
As you go higher you will find that things become more and more vulnerable. So vulnerability is nothing wrong; it is understanding how life is. To pretend to be strong is foolish because it is wrong.
Nobody is strong, nobody can be strong; it is just an ego game. Even Alexander is not strong: one day comes and all his strength is gone.
So just learn to accept it and then there will be a very very deep understanding and a deep flow of energy. You will not feel it as a problem. It is not a problem; it is something very significant happening to you – don’t make a problem out of it.
... Just don’t do anything about it. It is there – enjoy it! If it is weakness, it is weakness.
Let it be as it is.
Don’t try to improve, don’t try to do anything about it. Accept it totally and suddenly you will see it is not a problem at all. Rather than being a problem, it is something to be happy about, to celebrate.
OSHO
