excerpt The Divine Melody - Ch.2

The fourth question:

Bhagwan [Osho], I feel so frustrated!

So what! You must be responsible for it.

If you don’t want to feel frustrated then there is no need. You must be creating it, nobody else is responsible. If you feel frustrated, you must be reaping the crop which you go on sowing. But you don’t see the relationship.

If you expect too much, you will be frustrated. If you don’t want to be frustrated, don’t expect. Live without expectations and there will be no frustration.

But people go on expecting, they know no ends to their expectation. Then frustration comes in. Frustration is the shadow of expectation.

Frustration is never the problem, the problem is with expectation. When you feel frustrated you think existence is doing something wrong to you. No, you were asking too much.

In fact, ask and you will be frustrated. Any asking is asking too much.

Don’t ask. Be. And then you will be surprised, whatsoever happens is good; you have no way to judge it.
