Blessings in Disguise
by
Osho
anxiety,
anguish, misery, is that you
want to get rid
of them. That's the
only barrier.
You will have to live
with them. You
cannot just escape.
They are the
very situation in which
life has to
integrate and grow. They
are the
challenges of life. Accept
them.
They are
blessings in disguise.

The
fortunes and misfortunes of a villager
The only problem with sadness, desperateness, anger, hopelessness,
A man had a very beautiful horse, and the horse was so rare that even
emperors had asked the man to sell it--whatsoever the price--but he
refused. Then one morning he found that the horse had been stolen.
The whole village gathered to sympathize, and they said, "How unfortunate!
You could have got a fortune--people were offering so much. You were
stubborn and you were stupid. Now the horse is stolen."
But the old man laughed; he said, "Don't talk nonsense! Only say that the
horse is no more in the stable. Let the future come, then we will see."
And it happened that after fifteen days the horse came back, and not only
alone--it brought a dozen wild horses with it from the forest. The whole
village gathered, and they said, "The old man was right! His horse is back
and has brought twelve beautiful horses with him. Now he can earn as much
money as he wants." They went to the man and they said, "Sorry. We could
not understand the future and the ways of god, but you are great! You knew
something about it; you have some
glimpse of the future."
He said, "Nonsense! All that I know now is that the horse has come back
with twelve horses--what is going to happen tomorrow, nobody knows."
And the next day it happened that the old man's only son was trying to
break in a new horse and he fell, and his legs were broken. The whole town
gathered again and they said, "One never knows--you were right; this
proved to be a curse. It would have been better that the horse had not
come back. Now your son will remain crippled for his whole life."
The old man said, "Don't jump ahead! Just wait and see what happens. Only
say this much, that my son has broken his legs--that's all."
It happened after fifteen days that all the young men of the town were
forcibly taken away by the government because the country was going to
war. Only this old man's son was left, because he was of no use. Everybody
gathered--they said, "Our sons are gone! At least you have your son. Maybe
he is crippled, but he is here! Our sons are gone, and the enemy is far
stronger; they are all going to be murdered. In our old age we will have
nobody to look after us, but you at least have your son and maybe he will
be cured."
But the old man said, "Say only this much--that your sons have been taken
by the government. My son has been left, but there is no conclusion."
Just state the fact! Don't think of anything as a curse or a blessing.
Don't interpret it, and suddenly you will see that everything is
beautiful.
