to maintain it is really difficult,
because you are doing something against nature.

Mind is repetitive, mind always moves in circles.
Mind is a mechanism: you feed it with knowledge,

the real way to know, the real way to be.

Zen says that if you drop knowledge -
and within knowledge everything is included;
your name, your identity, everything,
because this has been given to you by others -

you will have a totally different quality to your being: innocence.
This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality,
and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.
- Osho
