Rebel in dictionary - comes from re (again) and bel (war), means to engage in war again.
A rebel is reaching out to something greater than ego driven impulses. Heard Billy Idol's Rebel Yell on the radio on the way to meditation. Never forget it, because to be a nonconformist is very easy, but to be a rebel needs a tremendous transformation in your being. The rebel is a totally different kind of man from the nonconformist.
Osho on society free#
as free as a rosebush dancing in the rain, in the sun as free as a moon moving in the sky beyond the clouds in utter beauty, blissfulness and peace. If the rebel is against those obstructions, it is to enable the new man to live without fetters, to live without imprisonment, to live outside the concentration camps and to live a life as free as a bird on the wing. All the old structures were creating more and more hindrances and obstructions against your growth. The rebel is creating the new world so that this misery and this suffering and this ugly society disappears and man can live more naturally, more beautifully, more lovingly, more peacefully, enjoying all the riches that existence makes available, all the gifts of life which are invaluable.įreedom, love, silence, truth, enlightenment, the ultimate flowering of your being - all are available to the true rebel. It is not a reaction, it is an action - not against the old, but for the new.
The rebel acts with a tremendous balance, and that is not possible without awareness, alertness, and immense compassion. In fact most of the time to move from one extreme to another is always to move from one wrong to another wrong. Although he goes against the society, just to be against the society is not necessarily to be right. His action is not based in consciousness.
The nonconformist is a reactionary he acts out of anger, rage, violence and ego. It is an old association, and a misunderstanding, that to be a nonconformist is to be a rebel.
