Yes, that’s right, NP.

First comes indifference, then comes choicelessness, then comes playfulness.

Well, I think it’s happening all over the sannyas scene, people are getting older, and less interested in spending time online. If you look at the photos on the front page of Osho News, there’s a lot of grey hair.

There is a nice quote by Osho in an article there, that indifference allows one to create distance from the mind, and this allows the witness to arise. Nice and good to experiment with — see if a sustained period of indifference to thoughts will create some separation between being and mind.

I’ve been a little more busy writing letters and a chunk of a book, so haven’t been around as much…

Lokesh, you don’t know me at all.
Second, you can have your opinion about me.
Third, I have the freedom to express myself how I want it, same is true for you.
Fourth, seems to me you live somehow in the past and don’t accept what is.

The quality of the blog is not down because of me but because the times are changing.

Satchit enquires, “So all the good commentators disappeared because of me?”
His words not mine, because I did not say that. I said, “His comments on SN have helped bring the quality of this blog down.”

I can clarify that. Satchit comes away with lots of spiritual cliches and is constantly involved in an egocentric game of one-upmanship. Yet, it only requires a wee rub with sandpaper to cut through his veneer of pseudo-spirituality to reveal his true character, which is that of a smug and quite nasty individual, who has very little to share on a spiritual level because he has not done his homework. This is often glaringly apparent and is a real turn-off for anyone who wishes to share something of a genuine and personal nature on this blog.

If one contemplates his personal interactions with other bloggers, it is easy to perceive that he tends to react to what is said to him personally and his reactions are mostly of a schoolyard nature, not very intelligent and mean-spirited. Hence he only comes alive when on the attack, even though he is not very good at it.

I don’t get much out of trying to relate to people like Satchit and therefore I will not waste any more time on him, at least for the time being. End of story from my side.

Sorry, I cannot take you seriously, you poor victim!

Sri Sri Satchit declares, “If I would not share my energy here SN would be dead long ago.”
Erm…delusional doesn’t quite sum it up.

Satchit, your comments on SN have helped bring the quality of this blog down. Anyone with a bit of sense can see you are a few chapatis short of a rice plate, If your nonsense were deliberate I would congratulate you on your ironic sense of humour. Unfortunately, you are not creating a parody of a naive know-it-all. You actually are a naive know-it-all and one would have to be stupid not to see that.

In what kind of dreamworld do you live, Lokesh?
Seems you need somebody to blame for the situation.

If I would not share my energy here SN would be dead long ago.

Blame it on Osho, it is His will if SN goes on or not!

I’ve never really been a Hawkwind fan, although I do appreciate some of their tracks from time to time. I’ve never been into ‘Silver Machine’.

Music can take both the artist into a meditative state, as well as the listener.

SD’s shout-out for 45 quid seems to have sent what few regulars there are left left on SN running for cover.
Let’s see now. £45? That’s about 50e, which is half of what I spend on petrol a week to keep my gas guzzler running. If SD visited me I would gladly donate £45 to keep this almost extinct site running. To be honest, I can’t be bothered going online to foot the bill. SD, if you pay it I will gladly reimburse you should we happen to run in to each other and buy you lunch into the bargain.
While we are at it, I might add that I have pretty much lost interest in SN. It has become a bit of a dead zone because most of the good commentators have left the scene. It is the last place I visit for a spot of online entertainment. Once upon a time, it was often the first. What happened? It just became too flat. From Satchit’s daft one-liners to Shanti’s ads for Hawkwind and Oztrics Tentacles, who is interested in any of that old stuff? Satchit’s comments supply nothing but the cringe factor and I saw Hawkwind play dozens of times back in the day and am quite glad they flew off in their silver machine because they were long past their sell-by date.
Perhaps the same goes for SN because it delivers no real news anymore, it’s just the same old recycled spiritual cliches, which even though they might be true, have all been repeated countless times, from Osho’s car collection being a device to past lives and the life and times of Doctor Kundalini.
If you disagree and you believe SN is really a worthwhile enterprise put your money where your mouth is and write something on here that is in some way fresh.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS (£45)

Clive (who hasn’t been an active part of the SN team for quite a while) has just paid another £45 for site security (part of the deal with the web hosts) for which he should be reimbursed (especially as he went out of his way to do this via a very tricky hospital connection process that took up a lot of time, while waiting for news of the outcome of his partner’s operation).

Any contributions would be most welcome, very much deserved.
