09 Feb What kind of life have you given to me? (OSHO)
The biblical story is that first God created Adam and not Eve: Eve was the second woman that he created. What happened to the first woman?
But the very first night, the first mistake – he made only one small bed. It was not a double bed, king-size. He created a man and a woman and gave them just a small bed.
The first night, the fight started that you are still fighting. The woman wanted to sleep on the bed. The man also wanted to sleep on the bed and there was a pillow fight. They could not sleep the whole night because nobody was ready to sleep on the floor.
Even an ordinary carpenter would have been better. Adam went to God and said, “What kind of life have you given to me? This is going to be continuous trouble. Why have you made a small bed?”
And a second mistake rather than making a big bed, which was a simple thing for a god who can make the whole universe, to make a king-size bed would have been very simple, but rather than doing that, he withdrew the woman. And that was the right woman because she was made equal to man – in strength, in body in intelligence, in everything she was equal to man
These thousands of years of torture all over the world of women by men, would have been avoided just by making a king-size bed! But he made another woman this time not equal. The first woman was made out of the same mud as Adam was made. The second woman was made by taking a rib of Adam, and out of the rib, the woman was made Naturally, she cannot claim equality -she’s only a rib.
And I have heard that whenever Adam was late coming home, when he went to sleep the first thing Eve used to do was to count his ribs. Who knows? There may be some other woman somewhere. But there was no need to ask him.just count his ribs.
