Jesus said: (from Osho "The Mustard Seed"

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MAN TO MOUNT TWO HORSES

 AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SERVANT TO SERVE TWO MASTERS,

OTHERWISE HE WILL HONOR THE ONE AND OFFEND THE OTHER.

Everybody is already mounted on two horses,  – not only two but many.

That’s how anguish is created, that’s why you are constantly in anxiety.

Anxiety shows that somehow you are mounted on two horses. How can you be at ease?

Impossible, because the two horses are moving in two directions, and you cannot move anywhere.

With one horse movement is possible, you can reach somewhere.

With two horses movement is impossible, they will negate each other and you will not reach anywhere.

And this is the anxiety –that you are not reaching anywhere.

Deep down this is the anguish: that life is slipping out of your hands, time is becoming less and less, death is coming near and you are not reaching anywhere.

It is as if you have become a stagnant pool, just getting dryer and dryer and dying.

There is no goal, no fulfillment.

But why is it happening? – because you have been trying to do the impossible.
