I. The Explanation of Eight of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot
The figure in Eight of Rainbows Osho Zen is walking through nature, showing us the beauty that can be found in the simple, ordinary things of life. We so easily take this beautiful world we live in for granted.
Clean the house, take care of the garden, cook a meal – put your mind into the most boring tasks, when they are done with your devotion, with love, and for your own sake, without thought of recognition or reward.
You are facing a time now when this easy, natural and utterly ordinary approach to the situations you encounter will bring far better results than any attempt on your part to be brilliant, clever, or otherwise extra-ordinary.
Forget all about creating headlines by inventing the latest accessories, or dazzling your friends and colleagues with your unique star quality. The special gifts that you have to give now are to show the best by using only easy and simple things, one step at a time.
The Energy of Eight of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot Based on Osho’s Teachings
Sometimes it happens that you become one, in some rare moment. Watch the ocean, the tremendous wildness of it – and suddenly you forget your split, your schizophrenia; you relax. Or, moving in the Himalayas, seeing the virgin snow on the Himalayan peaks, suddenly a coolness surrounds you and you need not be false because there is no other human being to be false to. You fall together. Or, listening to beautiful music, you fall together.
Whenever, in whatsoever situation, you become one, a peace, happiness, a bliss, surrounds you, arises in you. You feel fulfilled. There is no need to wait for these moments –these moments can become your natural life. These extraordinary moments can become ordinary moments – that is the whole effort of Zen.
You can live an extraordinary life in a very ordinary life: cutting wood, chopping wood, carrying water from the well, you can be tremendously at ease with yourself. Cleaning the floor, cooking food, washing the clothes, you can be perfectly at ease – because the whole question is of you doing your action totally, enjoying, delighting in it.
