Osho on Christian Mystic Dionysius

 

Dionysius: The Playful One

THIS is one of the most fundamental things to understand: that an enlightened person becomes a perfect actor! He is not a doer, he is only an actor. He does nothing, but he acts perfectly. For him the whole of life is nothing but a drama, so there is no question of compromise, there is no question of getting divided, becoming schizophrenic, there is no question of being two - saying one thing, doing another thing. He remains undivided because life becomes a playfulness; he is no longer serious. You are taking it very seriously, hence the question. It comes out of your seriousness.

You don't know what playfulness is. The enlightened person can be absolutely playful in ANY situation; no situation can disturb him. He can be in a guilt-promoting organization, but he will not promote guilt and he will not promote the organization; in fact, he will sabotage it from within. That's what Dionysius did, and he did it well: he sabotaged the whole Christian stupidity - from within...

Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously.

Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul, and playfulness the greatest health.
